CHRISTMAS SHOPPING PLANS.
Shop Early Campaign Inaugurated-
Window Trimming Contest by st.
JohnSbury MerchantS-Prizes.

! The retail committee of the Com
mercial club met Friday afternoon
/ to perfect plans for the Christmas
| shopping campaign which will be in
augurated Thursday, Dec. z. Espec-
ial emphasis will be laid upon the
early shopping feature and the buyers
are urged to cooperate with the
merchants and shop early.
The committee voteo TO conduct a
| contest to stimulate a greater inter
est in window display, fully realizing
that good windows not only mean
more business to the enterprising
merchants that install them, but also
give the town a brighter and more
metropolitan aspect. Full details of
the contest will be announced later
and all local merchants will not only
be invited but urged to participate.
Every st. Johnsbury merchant will be
eligible for entry and valuable prizes
Will be awarded the winners and cash
prizes to the school children for
judging the displays. The prizes will
be awarded by competent commit
tee of outsiders and the cash prizes
will be given to those school children
whose judgment as to the prizes
agrees with the special committee of
Judges. Three complete scholarships
In the International Correspondence
schools of Scranton, Pa, valued at
from $500 to $500, will be given to
the successful contestants. The
prizes will be of great value to the
winners as they include a set of the
famous 1. G. S. reference library that
have been successfully used by thous-
ands of merchants all over the United
States.
The merchants who do not win will
benefit in two ways. First. in the in
creased business during and after the
contest; second, in a greater appre-
citation of window decoration.

VERMONT SCHOOLS MAY GET
ISTATE ACCOUNT SYSTEM

Burlington. Nov. 2I-A universal
accounting system for all the Vermont
schools similar to the system now in
use throughout New York State was
advocated by DR.. NJ. B. Hillegas, state
commissioner of education, on his re-
cent visit to Burlington and will prob
ably go into effect at the beginning Of
the next school year. Practically all
OF the cities and towns throughout the
state use slightly different accounting
systems for their schools and these
also differ from the method of the
state board OF education, so that con-
fusion arises when an attempt is made
to verify reports and il is also diff
cult TO secure accurate statistics un-
der the separate accounting methods.
The new system differs but slightly
from the accounting method now used
IN the office OF superintendent Chit
tenden. and even if it is not made
statewide will probably be used by
Mr. Chittenden next year. A univer-
sal school accounting system through
cut the state would not only simplify
the work OF making reports to the
state board OF education, but also to
the national commissioner of educa-
ton at Washington

A. H. M'LEOD DIES
Had For Many Years Been a Prom
inent Business Man of st. Johns
bury-FuneraI Thursday.

st. Johnsbury lost a sterling citi.
zen and one of it's foremost business
men when Angus H Mcleod passed
away early Tuesday morning at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. A. L.
Stevens. Although in failing health
refused to submit to bodily infrm-
tiles, and it was only a few months
ago that he gave up his last connec-
ton with the business life of ST.
Johnsbury with which he had been
closely identified for more than 40
years.
Angus Hector Mcleod was born at
Cote st. George, Ont, Nov. 29, 1912,
of Scotch parentage. He was edu-
Gated at Huntington academy, Hunt
ington, P. @. Early left fatherless he
was obliged to earn his own living,
his only capital consisting of his
faith, courage and industry. AS a
boy in his teens he entered a grist
mill, and soon owned a small one of
his own at Trout River, N. Y. From
there he came to St. Johnsbury la
1871 and bought the Caledonia mill
which he gradually developed into the
extensive business known as the A H
Mcleod Milling Co., managing it
most successfully until his retirement
in 1910.
He never sought public office but
served at various times as lister, viii
lage trustee, and school director In
1880 he became a director of the First
National bank and in 1895 succeeded
the late Col. Fairbanks as president
of the institution. He held the office
until failing health compelled his re-
tirement January 1st of the present
year. He had been vice president of
the Ely Hoe & Fork Co. and a direc-
tor in the E. & T.. Fairbanks Co.,
19O9-1916. In all his business rela-
ions his keen intellect, unerring judg-
ment, wonderful memory and Lively
sense of humor made him valuable
advisor.
He was a faithful member of the
South church for over 40 years, regu-
larly in his pew on Sunday as long as
health permitted. He was one of the
founders of Brightlook hospital ana
was always interested in the best good
of the town. Never did he turn
deaf ear to a call of real need and
his erect bearing and hearty greeting
so familiar on the streets of this VIII
age will be missed by a large circle
Of friends.
He married in 1857 Mary J. Roge.
Of Trout River, N. Y, who died in
1909 after AZ years of ideal welded
life. Their three children are
Charles H. of Detroit, Mich, Mrs. J.
H. Brooks and Mrs. A. L. Stevens of |
his place. He also leaves five grand |
children, one sister, Mrs. James Hor-
on of Montreal, and two nephews.
Since the death of his wife Mr.. |
Mcleod has made his home with Mr.. |
Ind Mrs. A. L. Stevens on Main street, |
whose devoted care has made his in I
1alid years happy and contented
The funeral service will be held /
Thursday afternoon at o'clock from I

An official report Of the attendance
at the New England Fruit show, given
by Secretary M. B. Cummings of the
State Horticultural society, says a to-

other states were represented also.

ADVERTISING COMMENDED
Head of O'Keefe Advertising Agency
says Newspaper Adds Pay.

Boston, Nov. 21-Maj Patrick J.
O'Keefe of the O'Keefe Advertising
Agency delivered an interesting ad-
dress to the pupils in craftsmanship
and business administration at both
English classes of the Charlestown
Evening High School last night on
the growing interest in civic affairs
and the advantages and growth of ad-
vertising.
He said it is cheaper to advertise
one page in a newspaper than to send
post cards to purchasers when the
cost of the cards and clerk hire is
taken into consideration, because the
newspaper reaches such a large num-
Der of people. He stated that sue
cessful business concerns are setting
aside certain sum from their net
profits for advertising in newspapers
and trade papers.
In relation to interest in civic af-
fairs Maj. O'Keefe said in part:
within the past few years there
has been developed in this country
new and growing interest in civic af
fairs. Business men are beginning to
understand that if they impede the
welfare of the community through
lack of interest or by the project OF
selfish purposes that they, as mem
bers of the community, will suffer the
consequences.
The activity and enterprise which
manifest themselves in participation
IN community affairs react upon thu
business man and benefit him. Hun
dreds OF communities throughout the
country are dragging along, insight
ly in appearance and unbusiness-Iike
IN methods, simply because they lack
the stimulus and enterprise that
would result from the business men
taking hand in public affairs.
