Villa and his followers are referred

were associated in the leadership.

Friday January IA, 1916.

The nations at war have an expense
which did not bother them much the
first year of the war, but which will
grow steadily worse. This is the IN
terest charges on money already Dor
rowed. The financial aspect of the
great war is fast becoming more seri-
GUS than the strictly military phase.
The January interest bill of the
five principal nations engaged was
somewhere around a billion dollars
and all of them have to borrow to pay
it. A business man, who has to Dor
row money TO meet his interest
charge is commonly looking bank
ruptcy in the face. More and more 1t
looks as though the war pocket books
will play out before the armies are
worsted.

Greater Improvement in New Protection Is Contemplated
 in Plans.
MORE PIPES TO BE LAID
Not Only the Downtown Section but Hill Is to Be Included in
 Arrangements.

Work on the installation of the city of Juneau's new fire fighting system has been started. Fifteen men are now engaged in digging the trench from the Alaska-Juneau northward and it is now finished nearly to the Juneau General Hos pital As soon as the trench reach es the site of the Alaska-Juneau administration building, work will begin on trench up the hill to- wards the tunnel portal.
 The city council is contemplat- ing the regrade of Gastineau ayen- ue and will decide that question and maybe the work will be done while the trench up the side of the mountain is being construct ed. Then the work of trench dig ging along Gastineau avenue and in other parts of the city will be pushed with the utmost speed.
 The city council now plans to very greatly extend the system beyond the plans originally outlined and contracted for between the city coun- ci and ?. R. Bradley of the Alaska Juneau. The new extension of the system will consist of main from Front and Seward to Main street, an extension of a block; aG extension Of the Third street main from Seward to Main street. and an extension of the system up Seward street to Sixth, The main on Seward street will be from Front to sixth with branches for block each way It is thought that with the high pressure, the fire department will be able to reach any fire on the hill It will provide pro lection for St Ann's Hospital, school and church. with the surrounding residences. and the city school build
 ngs. and also for all the large resi- dences on the top Of the hill.
 The pipe for the entire system with the necessary fittings has been ordered and ig on the way north The ditch will be ready for it by the time it arrives and it will then be installed.
 Changes in the plans for the in take from the Portal have been made and instead of one intake pipe there will be three. One pipe, twelve inch. will be installed exclusively foi the use of the city system, another of 24 inches will be installed to feet the milling water system, and a foul inch independent system will be pu
 in for the Alaska-Juneau boilers.
 The 12 and 24 inch intakes wil
 both be connected with the system
 so that the pressure in the cit! mains will be regulated by the neigh of the water in the Alaska-Juneal tank. Between the two pipes an el
 cctricauy controlled valve will be in stalled and in case of fire in tho higher sections of the city the waive will be shut which will throw tho entire pressure from the twelve incl intake on the city mains giving
 much higher pressure. Fer ordinar! fires in the down town section th' tank pressure will be used

GOV. GRAHAM.
Barton Monitor.


Governor elect Graham of Crafts
bury is a popular man in Vermont.
That no one entered the contest
against him proves it, and the vote he
received at the election proves it.
Graham's record as State auditor for IA
years, and his well-known knowledge Of
Vermont and Vermont laws places him
in position to intelligently recon-
mend some changes that should tend to
cut the States expense account without
imparing the efficiency of its various
departments. Mr.. Graham has eX-
pressed his intention Of carrying out
such a program as far as lies within
his power This program means the
making of enemies of some of those
whose positions on commissions or
boards will be jeopardized by pro-
posed consultations and eiminations,
For this reason it will be surprising if
Graham leaves the office as popular as
he now is. A real plan of retrench-
ment will pinch somewhere. Never
theless the Monitor believes that
Graham as Governor will hew to the
line, letting the chips fall where they
may, and in the doing he may be as
sured that the great body of the
people will stand behind him. The
most essential thing for the people of
the State to do just now is to talk with
their representatives. elect and see
that they understand that the people
demand support of plan of retrench-
ment for the State.

past few days at Montpelier. The
Everett orchards of Bennington and
C. l.. Witherell, Middlebury, were the
exhibitors who made the show excel

New England. Also the average
quality of the fruit shown was most
remarkable The show was held in
the biggest hall in Vermont and this
hall was filled with bewildering mass
of wonderful fruit, Every one of the
New England States were generously
represented with Vermont leading all

Beecham, and with the name is in
stantly associated the pills that are
famous the world over. The secret
of the Beecham fortune is the secret
of so many American money piles,
Beecham was a wise buyer of publicity.
He plastered the whole world and
30 well known did he become that he
was decorated by the Russian EN-
peror and was made baronet in his
own country, He owed his wealth
his position, his power to do good
through wise philanthropy, to his
willingness to put large sums of money
into publicity, He advertised on the
American scale and he made an
American success of it, Advertising
today is a necessity to each and every
business man, be he large or be he
small. The public has been educated
into the advertising spirit, and the
merchant who fails to give his wares
publicity invites that neglect by the
purchasing public that spells failure.

RETURNED TO INDUSTRIAL
SCHOOL.

Wilfred Haskins of Montpelier and
Merrill Lowell of Shoreham, who claim
to be 6years old but look much older,
are safely back in comfortable quarters
in the Vermont Industrial school at Yer
gennes and they owe the fact that they
are not wandering about without shell
ter to the watchfullness of Station
Master Henry C. Brislin of Rutland.
The boys escaped from the reform
school Thursday evening by getting out
of a window. Sleeping in barns with
out any covering except the clothing
that they wore, stealing short rides on
the bumpers and tramping much of the
time they arrived in Rutland about
noon Saturday, cold and hungry. They
went into the railroad depot for shelter.
Their actions attracted the attention of
Mr.. Brislin and the boys finally con-
fessed to him that they had run away
from Vergennes. They were locked up,
fed and sent home.

HIGH COST IN BERLIN.
Bennington Banner.

A New York woman, who has Just
returned from Berlin says that the
cost of living there today in spite of
the war is materially less than in New
York. That fish, vegetables, fruits
and other necessaries sell in nearly
all cases for less than similar foods
in this country. This is a striking
commentary on the cost Of living in
this country and the question is going
to be acute before spring. Coal in
many places is above $40 per ton;
flour is $l2 per barrel; corn meal is
ST. per hundred; potatoes are 81. so
per bushel; butter is 30 cents per
pound, eggs are so cents per dozen;
and all these prices are going up and
other things in proportion. There is a
legitimate rise on most of these
things, but in many cases such as
coal the raise is largely case of ex-
tortion by powerful interests. The
new federal trade commission should
be given power to regulate prices and
to punish eXtortion. Don't blame the
retailer. In many cases he isn't
getting as much profit as he was be-
fore. Blame the guilty parties and
urge congress to act. If necessary an
embargo on food and fuel should be en-
forced for a time.

FARM BUILDINGS BURNED.

For the third time within fewyears,
buildings owned by Frank Titus of West
Addison were burned to the ground a
few nights ago. The cause of the fire
each time has been mystery, and it is
so evident that a frebug is in that vi
cinity that insurance companies will take
no risks on property there. Hence, the
loss was complete, A barn, granary,
smaller stock barn and henhouse were
burned with 300 pounds of wool, hay
and grain, &C fowl, farm machinery and
tools. Two sheep were gotten out, but
persisted in remaining near the build
ings and were burned to death, The
dwelling house of Joseph Hart was
saved only by hard work.

APPLE RAISING IN VERMONT
Rutland News.


The State has reason to be proud
of the showing of Vermont apple
growers at the New England Fruit
show just concluded at Montpelier.
Far and away more prizes were taken
by Vermont exhibitors than by
those from any other State in New
England. The show should stimulate
more orchard owners to improve their
product. Ebert S. Brigham, State
commissioner Of agriculture, pointed to
the strange fact that while an Addison
county grower receives as high as $l4
to 500 barrel for fancy Northern Spy
apples, packed in the most approved
manner, yet very few Vermont apple
raisers pack their fruit in a similar
way. In apple raising as in all other
activities, the largest prices always
obtain for the highest possible grade
and furthermore there is always good
market for the best goods.
