Americas Answer

Last Thursday was national Jewish
relief day, and all over the country the
American people, regardless of creed,
opened their purses to nine millions of
people who have been rendered homeless
and who lack food, clothing and medi-
cine. ALI these privations have been
forced on them by the war which they
had no part in starting, and they were
compelled to call on America for aid.
The unfortunate Jews are the innocent
victims of a war which has desolated
many regions in which they made their
homes. In normal times. the Jew is in
dustrious aud prudent and would scorn
aid, but the times are abnormal. He can
not help himself and he was forced to
appeal to the sympathy of the American
people to save himself and family from
starvation. The American people have
been generous in contributing to the re-
lief of the Belgians, Armenians and other
distressed people and the cry for help
from the stricken Jews did not fall on
deaf ears.
Out of their abundance the American
people contributed to the needs of suffer
ing humanity in a way that reflects
kindliness and sympathy of a prosperous,
happy nation for fellow beings who have
a large claim on American liberality and
goodness.

Thrift Day

February Sd, and that is tomorrow.
has been proclaimed Thrift Day" in
the United States. The purpose of this
day is to promote habits of prudence
among the people of this country. The
idea originated in Philadelphia, the home
of Franklin, the preacher and teacher of
thrift, and the place where the first saw
ings bank in America was established.
One-tenth of the people of this country
are savers. Compared with France,
where thirty-six per cent of the people
are savers, the American people are prof.
ligate.
A bank account is one of the best
methods of individual preparedness "
against the inevitable rainy day. Con-
serve your resources, and rejoice in the
feeling of independence it gives you.
Start a bank account on Thrift Day"
and practice the habit of systematic saw
ing. With three savings institutions in
Lamoille County-the Union Savings
Bank at Morrisville, the Lamoille County
Savings Bank at Hyde Park, and that
thrifty and decidedly healthy baby, the
Sterling Trust Company at Johnson
splendid provision is made for every
body in "Spunky Lamoille" to get into
the habit of saving.

Where Vermont Leads

The government reports just issued
show that Vermont is the chief live
stock raising state of New England and
that it is advancing in this direction re-
markably as compared with other nearby
states, says the Brattleboro Reformer.
With the rapid increase in the use of
motor cars one might expect to find the
number of horses decreasing, but the
government assures us the number in
New England at the present time is 800 =
900, gain of 1000 in five years. The
three southern states of this section have
5000 less horses than half decade ago,
but Maine shows an increase of 1000,
New Hampshire 5000 and Vermont 70OO
Rather curiously the loss in Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island
is ascribed to the increasing use of the
automobile. but more automobiles per
capita are owned in Vermont than in any
of these states.
The total number of mich cows in
New England is estimated at 1926 900, or
ago, and the total number of "other cat
tle'' is 100000. against 496, 600 five years
before. The value of mich COWS had ad-
vanced from $4S.16 to $62.sS, and the
average value of ''other cattle" is much
higher than before.
Figuring the value of dairy cattle at
nearly $52,000,0OO, adding the value of
the other cattle, the capital invested in
the milk industry and other allied indus
tries, one quickly finds that the invest
meat in cattle and other associated bust
nesses is truly enormous.
In five years Rhode Island showed a
loss of 1000 in milch COWS, Massachusetts
loss of $4,000, Connecticut loss of
5000, while Maine gained 1000, New
Hampshire 1000 and Vermont $4,000.

Clough, died in Barre about six years
ago and Mary died many years ago at
the age of % years. The surviving chill
dreu are Lorenzo Wood, who lives on
the home farm, and Rev. Josiah Wood OF
Brooklyn, N. Y.
The deceased was born on the home
farm on August II, 1916. He was mar
ried about 35 years ago to Katherine
Leach of Stowe. who died about 25 years
ago. They had no children.
Mr.. Wood was a kind hearted, home
loving man and with the exception OF a
few months spent in Morrisville the past
year always resided on the home farm.
He was the first man in this section to
venture in the Christmas tree business,
beginning the industry about fifteen years
ago and carrying it on for a number OF
years.
He was very ingenious and much of
his life had been spent upon inventions
of various kinds. Among them was a
voting machine, which is said to be one
of the best models ever presented for a
patent. 1t is said that he had this in
yention completed and in line for pat
ent. but the fact that he never took any
one. not even his brothers, into his conf
dence regarding this part of his life. not
much is known regarding the same.

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid
which flows in the blood, affecting the
muscles and joints, producing infam-
nation, stiffness and pain. This acid
gets into the blood through some de-
feet in the digestive processes, and
remains there because the liver, kid
neys and skin are too torpid to carry
it off.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-time
blood tonic, is very successful in the
treatment Of rheumatism. 1t acts
directly, with purifying effect, on the
blood, and through the blood on the
liver, kidneys AMI skin, which it
stimulates, and at the same time it
improves the digestion.

Hospital for Morrisville

Morrisville has bit of good fortune in
the philanthropic proposition of Mr.. and
Mrs, Clement F. Smith to present the
town their large house as hospital.
There are scattered here and there
throughout Vermont numerous other ex-
tensive residential properties which are
of practically no use to their owners, be-
ing closed most of the time. and the ex-
annie of the MorrIsville people may be
infectious. These large properties could
be utilized by the communities In which

Uniform Town Accounting

| One of the important articles that will
appear in the warning OF every town
meeting in the State is an article, "To
see if the town will vote to install a uni
form system of public accounting, as rec
commended by the officials appointed by
the Governor under the Act of 1915"
The act referred to directed the State
Auditor and Secretary of State to for
mulate such system and they have per-
formed that duty and are submitting to
the several town officials copy of the
system they have prepared. An inspec-
ton of the same convinces us that it is
splendid system, in that it modifes all
accounts, makes them clear and concise
and does away with superhuous and If
regular methods of keeping town ac-
counts. In their report to the Governor
the committee suggests model form of
warning, which does away with the hap
hazard styles of warning that usually
are drawn up.
Every town in the State should adopt
this splendid method of accounts
