AUTOIsTs VISIT TROOPS.
Capt. Wilcox Says Co. ID Will Arrive
Home Wednesday Night or
Thursday Morning.

Many parties went from st. Johns
bury Sunday to Burlington, induced
both by the attraction of the returned
troops and the splendid autumn
weather.
"A representative of The Caledonian
talked with Capt. Wilcox of Co. D
who volunteered the information that
the boys would arrive home Wednes-
day night or Thursday. He said that
they would be mustered out with the
first battalion, but that Major Tinker
who was in the second battalion would
probably get back to st. Johnsbu-y
a little later.
There was a large crowd of peo-
pie from all over the state at the
reservation to see the boys, who en-
tertained the visitors with stories OF
their experiences and a display OF
many souvenirs brought back from
the border.
At noon time the barracks were
crowded with visitors and the bulk
of them did not arrive until after
Eoon.
In the afternoon there was a ball
game between teams of the End cav
airy and the First Vermont infantry.
The men were in the best of health
and looking forward to the prospect
of getting back to their respective
fresides in ST. Johnsbury and vicinity
with a great deal OF anticipation.

Rev. Paul =. Moody, Returning l~Oru
Trip to Burlington Says Muster

Rev. Paul -. Moody, Returning r~Om
Trip to Burlington Says Muster
ing Out VIII Start Then.
The mastering out of the First
Vermont Infantry will begin in about
ten days, according to Rev. Paul d.
Moody, who returned from Burling-
ton Friday night where the above in
formation was given him by Adjt
Gen. Lee S. TilIotson. According to
General Tillotson the three brigades
of the regiment will be mustered out
on three successive days. Co. u,
which is in the first brigade will be
mustered out on the last day. AS
the troops have to leave the same day
they are mustered out according to
a military ruling, it will be impos-
sible for Co. D to leave for st. Johns
bury on the morning train. The next
train leaving Burlington would land
them in st. Johnsbury late at night,
and at an hour which would make it
practically impossible for the com
mittee to carry out their arrange
ments for a rousing welcome.
The only means of overcoming this
drawback, so that the original plans
can be carried out, is to provide some
means of transportation that would
bring the troops to town at an advan-
tageous hour.
The committee are puzzIing over
this phase Of the problem now, and
a solution may be expected soon, as
they have a number of plans under
consideration.
DR.. Moody was one of the speakers
in his official capacity as chaplain at
the banquet rendered the Burlington
companies Thursday night. He said,
regarding the speeches given at that
time that the general trend was
along the line of the splendid physi-
cal condition presented by the regi-
ment as a whole upon their return
from the front. Special emphasis
was laid upon the fact that every
man in the regiment with the ex-
ception of two deceased returned in
the best of form, while Is years ago
at the time of the Spanish merican
war, nearly one-third of the regiment
who spent some time in the south,
were disqualified. The enthusiasm of
the men was also said to be impress
sive, and although the men are glad
to be back yet all are highly pleased
with their experience.

WINTER PRICES WHAT.
People of st. JOhnsbury Begin TO
Wonder As Flour Reaches High
Mark and Coal Shows Increase.


Mark and Coal Shows Increase.
With the record mark that is being
reached at the present time by flour
and the increase of coal over year
ago, the people of st. Johnsbury
have been wondering what the win
ter would bring forth. A little com
parison with a year ago would show
that although there has been an ad-
vance over a year ago at this time
yet at times during the winter, flour
especially nearly equalled it's present
price. But it fluctuated so quickly
that the extreme price was of but
short duration and was hardly felt
locally.
Notwithstanding the present price
of flour soaring as high as $3.50 per
barrel, retail, and the pessimists pre-
dieting a SIS flour, it is to be noticed
that the majority of firms handling
flour in town advise buying lightly
for the present, and are in most
cases themselves buying in small ship
! ments in the expectation of drop in
the price as soon as the new wheat
comes in. Not all are so optimistic
with regard to a lower price, but very
few in close touch with the market
are looking for anything higher than
$40 retail price.
At present the best standard breads
are ranging between $40 and $3.50,
all-round fours, 1925 to $3.50, pastry
from So to 1925. A year ago this
time bread f1ours were ranging be-
tween $3.50 and So.
The coal situation shows that there
is a decided increase on an average
over q year ago, but a plentiful sup
ply on hand.
The increase in price over year
ago amounts to between rs and so
cents Stove coal this season is SELL
ing for 1925, as against $8.75 a year
ago. Nut coal, 1925 as against SO
last season; Egg coal SO, against
$8.75 a year ago. These prices are
all quoted on a basis of rs cents off
for cash.
In speaking of the high cost of liv-
ing a few days ago, where a party of
st. Johnsbury's older citizens were
gathered, and where a comparison
was going on of prices only as far
back as Is years, the general opinion
seemed to be that a return to four
or five dollars per barrel for flour,
and the $1.25 to $3.50 per day wage
for the laborer would be welcome.
