Everyone Is Asked to Cut Meat
Supply One Ounce a Day.

Washington, July 1l-Each per-
SON in the United States isasked by
the food administration board to
cut his meat supply one ounce each
day. This, it is believed, would
relieve the demands Of the armies
at home and abroad and leave a

TALK OF THE TOWN

John Burns of Burlington was bust
ness visitor in the city to-day, returning
this afternoon to Mortified, where he is
staying this winter. There is a strong
possibility of Burns enrolling at Goddard
seminary later in the week, although
nothing definite has been decided as yet.
If Burns finally decides to enroll at the
hilltop it will strengthen the Goddard
nine next spring, as he is one of the
heaviest schoolboy hitters in Vermont
and had good deal of experience last
summer with the Burlington club of the
Vermont State league, He plays the
first base position.
Children of the eighth grades in the
city schools had the time much to them
selves at the capital to-day, although
the watchful eyes of the teachers were
ever present and the mentors saw to it
that their charges paid rather strict at
tention to the educational advantages to
be gained from a visit to the legislature,
A special coach was attached to the
Green Mountain express when it left
Barre at sos O'Clock this morning and
all coaches were crowded with children.
II was expected that the trip would in
clude return to Barre in time for the
dinner bell, but in the meantime the stu
dents were privileged to inspect the leg
islature in both branches.
A final opportunity for citizens who
have failed to register in anticipation OF
the annual city election next Tuesday is
offered by the board of civil authority,
which meets for its last session in the
court room at city hall this evening at
o'clock. The work of revising the check
list will be completed before adjournment
and by tomorrow it is expected that
the material will be in the hands of the
printer. Thus far around 60 new names
have been added to the lists in the sew
eral wards and a number of erasures
have been made. Reports from l45 per-
sons who received summons to appear be-
fore the board and show why their names |
should not be stricken from the list may |
be received at the meeting tonight.
To-day being the last day of the rab-
bit hunting season, hunters from the city |
left early this morning in various direc
tons to give the agile creatures of the
woods their last day of jump and worry
for another six months. The closing
days of the season have been well taken
up by the lovers of the sport, and the
results have been many good bags of
game brought into town. One party of
three hunters, who made Groton their
stamping ground, returned to the city
last evening with % rabbits in their
possession for two days trip, while
another party of three, who journeyed
10 Orange yesterday morning for final
day of the sport, brought four rabbits
and fox of rare species with them.
The fox is much darker than the ordi-
nary fox caught in Vermont. The ami
nal was shot by the lucky hunter from
he sleigh, when on the trip over. IL
was stated this morning that the man
would refuse S25 for the fur.

 Railroad stocks and bonds now out standing are valued at more than ten times two billion dollars. Finally, the combined savings deposits of the country with the individual deposits in commercial banks and other finan- cial institutions reaches the incon- ceivably tremendous total of $s4,5oO. OO00, ,000.
 When these figures are duly consid- cred the two billion dollar war loan does not appear such big figure after all.
 In fact 1t represents only ten per cent of the total of individual bank deposits. aggregating s22,OOO,o0O,0OO, in the United States, and only one hundred and thirteth part of the ag- gregate wealth of the nation.

TWO BILLION FEET LUMBER FOR
 WAR PURPOSES
GU S. Official Bulletin.)

The council of national defense au-
 thortzes the following:
 Estimates prepared by the lumber committee of the advisory commits sion of the council of national de-
 fense show that 2,OOO,oOO.oOO feet may
 be used for purposes directly con-
 nected with the war In the next 12
 months. Construction of the 16 can-
 tonments which will house the new army will absorb a large amount os the governments lumber purchases. The cantonments will require about 5,00o,OOO,OOO feet. Second in quantity of lumber required comes the wooden ship building program now estimated at 4O0OOo,OOO feet.
 Statement by committee.
 "The best estimate that can oe made of the total amount of lumber re- quired for purp. s,s of national defense within the next l2 months is a.0n0,- OVNsppV by the 70 ani'tte. "rhis sounds like a colossal fisr"e. and it s hIg fgur>, but shou'1 give no apprehension tl,al it will dis. IT., .he markets or cause a shortage of lumber. Actually thhs will not exceed per cent of one years lumber production of this country It can readily be seen therefore that no lumber user need fear that 1t will be impossible for him to get the kinds and sizes of lumber needed for his purpose We have the for est resources, and without doubt the producing capacity. If there is any difficulty at all 1t will be that of trans- portation, and we believe that trans portation conditions now being ad- justed will finally enable the carrying on of normal industrial operations with small variation from the ordl- nary course of business"

"SEWARD DAYn NOW ALASKA
 HOLIDAY; SEWARD's SPEECH.

l History links with Alaska the nam 1 of William Henry Seward, the ia nous statesman. Therefore, it wa l fitting that Seward day. should b, included amongst Alaska holidays b, the Alaska territorial legislature. Tn, bill was signed by the governor Mar 20, 1917. the anniversary of the ratifica- ton of the treaty between Russia and
 the United States.
 Other Alaska holidays are July 4 Washington's birthday, Lincoln's birthday. labor day, the first Monday in September; Alaska day, october IS; Christmas day, and general election and Thanksgiving.
 Seward, 1t is recalled, was a pie turesaue figure in American history. Defeated by Abraham Lincoln for the republican nomination, he became secretary of state for Mir. Lincoln, and his progressive measures aroused bit ter opposition from less far-seeing statesmen and from the press. Espe- 'cially was this true of his purchase of Alaska from Russia.
 Governor Strong has written to Kenneth M. Gibson Of New York city, for the books concerning the life of Seward, published by his son, the late Frederick w. Seward. MT Gibson is executor of the estate
 Many readers are familiar with the story of the transfer of Alaska, but very few are aware that MT. Seward made a speech at Sitka. Alaska, Aug. 12, 1886, n which he said:
 Alaska has been as yet imperfectly explored, but enough is known to as- sure us that it possesses treasures of what are called the baser ores equal to those of any other region of the continent. We have Copper island and Copper riyer, so named as the places where the natives before the period of Russian discovery, had pro- cured their pure metal from which they fabricated instruments of war and legendary shields"
 Speaking of iron and visit to Chilcat river on the invitation from MT. Davidson, who claimed the dis  covery of iron, Mir. Seward continued: It was not a single iron mountain he had discovered, but range of hills. the very dust of which adheres to the magnet, while the range itself 2,000 feet high. extends along the east bank of the river 30 miles.
 Limestone and marble crop out on the benches of the same river, and in many other places. Coal beds, access s.ble to navigation. are found at kootznoo. ... What seems to be an excellent coal Is also found in the Prince of Wales archipelago. There are also mines at Cook inlet.

As much as the mind may have be- come attuned to thinking in millions, the recent monetary transactions of the government are apt to make one a trifie bewildered.
 A few years ago a transaction in- yolying a million dollars was a matter for much awe stricken speculation and wonder. A million collars was to the vast majority of people stu pendous sum-a veritable mountain of wealth to the Imagination and the average mind outran itself attempt ing to picture what such sum rep resented if reduced to mare tangible equivalents than are represented In the mere figures and ciphers employed in setting it down on paper.
 The advent of the Morgan's and Gould's and Harriman's made us more familiar with such high sounding figures later on but great as were the transactions of those geniuses of finance they are dwarfed into a complete insignifcance by the huge monetary exchanges of today,
 In the present day a million dollars is scarcely more than starting point in high finance. Transactions involv- ing the, twenty and fifty millions are now ss common that one scarcely gives them moret than passing atten- tion.
 It is only when the financial deal- 1ngs of the world mount into billions as they have been doing in recent days, that one is apt to sit back and Go some thinking. Yet, as inconceiv- ably great as are some of the financial figures born of the war. they are completely dwarfed by the vast sums that ara daily looming clearer on the horizan Of the future.
 Take the Liberty loan. for instance As great as $2.OOQ 100000 may seem to the ordinary man yet, compared with the loans that have been called for by the European belligerents, 1t is comparatively nothing.
 England has raised by war loans and taxation more than $23.000,00 GOO; France, over s16,000, 100000: Rus sia, $15,oo0, 100000: and Germany, $1s.- 00O.000,Ooo. According to recent sta- tistical compilations. the aggregate wealth of the United States this veal s s260, ,000, ,OO0.o 900.
 The $2.Oo0,O00,0O0 Liberty loan Is cnly 0 trifiing amount compared tc such a sum.
 The present stock of gold within tho antion Is more than a billion dol. lars greater than the sum represented in the Liberty loan. Our exports last year aggregated $5.lS1, 100000; the r:arket value of our corn crop in 191t exceeded this loan by $2s6,0 ,00t while the aggregate value of oui crops and animal products last year wa. nearly seven times the amount of this
