The expression true blue" which
We hear so often, has not even an Eng

a Spanish saying which meant that the
blood that filed the veins of the aris-

while that of the inferior mortals was
more or less black, and the proverb
that true blue will never stain in
stead of meaning, as it is generally
supposed. that "a noble heart will new

Distinct Accession to Vermont One
Wilson.

1t is more and more evident as time
passes that Vermont has had very
sui stantiaI accession in Lucius +. Will
son, who has come to East Dorset to
reside. Mr.. Wilson made most fav-
orable impression when he addressed
the Rutland Business Mems associa-
ton a few weeks ago on the Eastern
States Agricultural and Industrial ex-
position at Springfield, Mass, OF which
he is the business agent He has
been. as has been explained. the NOV.
ing spirit in a number of chambers OF
commerce in the middle western
states, Detroit, Dayton, Des Moines
and other cities, and has an enviable
record. He is man of energy and en-
terprise and will make his influence
felt in this state.
Mr.. Wilson has been stirring up
the people of several towns in Yer
mont in most helpful and inspir
ing sort OF way. The other day he
spoke for the second time at Burl-
ington, before the Merchants as
ISOLATION. He addressed himself to
the subject craftsmanship and he
gave ample evidence Of the fact that
he knows his subject. Here is a
brief outline of his remarks which
give in an Illuminating way the
psychology of successful merchandise
| ing:
There are four clearly defined
steps in the sale of an article, the
| first three OF which any salesman can
reduce to a science by the proper APP
plication of energy and study; but
the fourth is an art, which very few
statesmen ever acquire. The first
three steps are gaining the attention
of the prospective purchaser, arous-
ing his interest and presenting argu-
ments and proof The fourth step,
which battles all analysis, is the art
of closing the sale.
The first three steps are either
partially or entirely taken care of by
advertising, depending upon the
quality of the advertising The clerk
should not allow the advertising
to do all the work of these steps.
The clerk is more important to the
customer than the proprietor of the
store, since he is the point of con
tact. The clerk is the minister ex-
traordnary to the business world
beyond,
The fourth step, the art of closing
the sale, is the one in which magma
ton can be employed to the best ad-
vantage. The ability to construct
around an object every possible or
probable environment so as to APP
peal to the maximum number of
hopes, desires, ambitions and wishes,
is important. No two people see
alike the same object. woman pur.

WHEN FEELING TIRED
Hoods sarsapariIIa Builds Up the
Whole System-Makes Pure Blood

That tired feeling that comes to-
you in the spring, year after year,
is sign that your blood lacks vi
tality, just as pimples, boils and
other eruptions are signs that it is
impure; and it is also a sign that
your system is in a low or rundown
condition inviting disease. 1t is
warning, which it is wise to heed.
Ask your druggist for Hoods
Sarsaparilla. This old standard
tried and true blood medicine re-
lieves that tired feeling. 1t cleanses
the blood, gives new life, new cour-
age, strength and cheerfulness. 1t
makes the rich, red blood that will
make you feel, look, eat and sleep
better.
Be sure to get Hoods, because it
is the best. There is no other COM
bination Of roots, banks and herbs
like it-no real substitute for it
no "just-as-good" medicine.

seas News Agency today.
A man of mystery, known largely by
legend, was Rasputin, the mystic peas
ant monk, called the Riechelieu of
Russia. For nearly fifteen years he
enjoyed an ascendency and influence
over the Car and Czarina unapproach-
ed by any other living being. Yet out
side of Russia he was known only by
name.
His power was so great that it has
been said had he been in Petrograd at
the outbreak of the war Russia would
never have entered it. Russia had
prepared to side with the Balkan
states against Austria after the second
Balkan war, and mobilization had been
ordered, when Rasputin got the ear of
the Gear. After an hours persuasion,
or "hypnotism," which Russians gen.
orally credit as the basis of his power,
the DEGREES were revoked and the Bal
kan states abandoned
Aside from the leader of the BLACK
Hundred" there was probably no one
more feared in Russia than Rasputin.

fashionable street in Petrograd

and approving petitions, which were
forwarded to the various ministries.
Many stories were told OF licentious
| living and OF orgies that had taken
place under his roof, but apparently
| the stories were never able to break
| his influence with the imperial family.
Only once did Rasputin lose the
| Cars favor On being practically
banished from the capital as result
! of intrigues by the Holy Synod and
| the bureaucracy, both of which hated
| him bitterly. he made prophecy OF
misfortune to befall the imperial fam
lily. Soon afterward the Czarovitch
was injured, and the frightened EN-
press had him recalled.
Many attempts were made on the
life of this unofficial ruler of Russia
\ month before the war broke out he
was stabbed in his native Siberian
village by woman, who declared that
she wished to avenge one of his cir
victims. For several weeks scant
hope was held out for his recovery
notwithstanding the Cars orders that
prayers be said for him all over Rus
STA. As an upholder of absolutism and

HOW CANADIAN
MINE OWNERS REAP COIN

Vancouver, B. c., July 20.-Enemy
aliens have no standing before the
courts of Canada. The Britannia
Mines here use a large amount of
alien labor. Sometimes the alien la
Dor meets with accidents. Then the
fact that enemy" aliens have no
standing before the courts comes in
very handy for the Britannia Mines
management. To illustrate:
Many Serbians work for the Britain
mia Mines. Serbians are distinctly
not enemy" aliens If a Serbian
worker is killed, or injured, however,
he finds that he appears on the books
of the Britannia Mines Company as an
Austrian, a hated enemy" Conse-
quently, he can't collect damages, nor
can his widow, if he should be killed.

SPEEDING-UP SYSTEM
DENOUNCED In HOUSE

Washington.-In a speech in the
house of representatives on so-called
scientific management" Congress.
man Tavenner said:
"The stop-watch system of shop
management should be styled a sys-
TEN to place workmen on the scrap
heap permaturely. That is what it
does. OF course, by speeding up
workmen they can be made to turn
out more work, just as man by run
ming instead of walking may be able
to cover a block more quickly, but he
will not be able to cover blocks all
day and day after day at the same
pace without injury to his constitu-
ton.
Let us see what Mr. Taylor said
about his system. He invented it. He
said, telling how the system was put
into effect at the Bethlehem Steel
Company plant:
"'The tasks were all purposely
made so severe that not more thon
one out of five laborers, perhaps even
a smaller percentage than that, could
keep up.
81 want to read some more from
Mr.. Taylor's book on Scientific Man
agement.' He lays great stress on
Scientific persuasion. Eight bosses
sometimes assist in the persuasion
Five of them are directly over the
workman urging him on. In other
words, this system is so inhuman in
some cases foremen evidently refused
to enforce it, so Mr.. Taylor provided
a method of overforemen to take care
of any weak-hearted foreman. Mr..
Taylor said:
"'The functions of these overfore.
men are two-fold:
"'First. That of teaching each of
the bosses under them the exact ma
ture of his duties, and at the start
also of nerving and bracing them up
to the point of insisting that the
workman shall carry out the orders
exactly as specified on the instruction
card
"This system has been investigated
by five different committees of con-
gress and every one of those commit
tees deprecated the use of the stop
watch Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts made one of the strongest
arguments that has been made against
the use of the stop watch"

RESIST INJUNCTIONS"
CRY ILLINOIS WORKERS

Chicago executive board Of
the Chicago Federation of Labor de-
clares that government by Injunction
is abominable and free men and wom-
en- will resist to the last ditch before
they will surrender to such a heinous
invasion of their rights The union
lists say that present injunctions are
more vicious and far-reaching than
any of the past injunctions issued at
the behest of big business.
"To show how absolutely these
courts do the bidding of the employ
ers, we would refer to the tannery
workers, where the injunction pre-
vented the Polish Peoples Publishing
company practically from circulating
their daily newspaper among the
strikers, and when this matter was
brought to the attention of the judge
who issued the Injunction he said he
did not know that was there, because
he did not read the Injunction
"The injunctions now being issued
by our courts generally carry the fol
lowing: From attempting by payment
or promise Of money, employment or
other reward, to induce employees of
the complainant to leave their en-
plOyment.
in other words, we cannot pay
strike benefits, feed hungry strikers
and their families or secure employ
ment for them elsewhere, but we must
leave them TO the tender mercies Of
the complainant until they are starved
into submission.
ut is needless to say that this is
not law, but the most malicious and
unwarranted distortion of law No
act of our legislature ever conferred
upon our courts such rights, nor ever
intended that our courts would permit
themselves to be used to shamelessly
in twisting our laws from their in
tended purpose and denying working
men the rights guaranteed under the
Constitution"
