If the use OF motor vehicles becomes
much more general in Barre and vicinity
it may be necessary for the city to pro-
vide parking space for the machines.
Already Main street looks like an
automobile show, and on Saturday even
ings it is almost impossible for late
conner to drive up to the curb anywhere
between the city hall and Depot square.
On last Saturday evening for instance,
there were SO motor vehicles parked
along the curbing in the comparatively
short stretch from Prospect street to
Depot square, and 1t was not particu-
larly busy Saturday night either. In the
same connection it is interesting to note
that there were eight horse-drawn We
hicles sandwiched in between the auto
mobiles next the curbs, while in the
comparatively narrow lane between the
rows of vehicles the street ears, droves
of other eonyeysnces of many kinds and
pedestrians made their way. Main
street on Saturday evening represents
very animated appearance.

CURRENT COMMENT
Advertise Large Food Supplies.

The committee on public safety has
called attention to the way in which a
! threatened serious waste of foodstufi
was turned to public benefit by little
common sense.
Farmers about Springfield had grown
a large crop OF spinach, for which they
looked in vain for a market. In spite of
the fact that it costs 81 to raise barrel
of spinach, they were seeking to get rid
of 1000 barrels of their product at so
cents barrel They did not find any
one to buy it. A local committee of pub
lie safety wisely suggested that the
product be advertised. This was done.
The slogan, Buy peck of spinach i'm
mediately brought results. The whole
1000 barrels was sold. Instead of so
cents per barrel it brought Sl.25. The
demand once stimulated, the balance of
the. crop, nearly as much as the first of
fering, was marketed.
Many farmers and some private gar
deners will have a surplus this summer.
When they fail to sell it through the
channels ordinarily used to reach the
consumers they should do as was done
with the spinach crop. They should ad
vertise. Housekeepers cannot be expect
ed to discover unusual supplies of food
by intuition. But when they see an ad
vertisement indicating an abundance of
this or that fruit or vegetable at a rea
sonable price they will rush to profit by
the bargain. Most of them have made
up their minds to preserve perishable
stuff this year on scale they have new
er attempted before. They are eager
to know when and where an unusual sup
ply is to be had.
This year the producer must deal with
new conditions. He cannot do so prop
erly if he remains silent In thickly set
tied New England all the food produced
ran find market, but that market must |
be sought. With proper advertising the
tragedy of produce rotting, because those ,
who would willingly consume it are ig
norsnt of their opportunity, should be

Foreign Secretary Balfour of the Brit
ish government showed himself to be a
very discerning man when he declared
recently, after visiting in the United
States, that the entry of the United
States into the war was absolutely un-
selfish. The United States has no axe to
grind, nor is it trying to pull somebody
else's chestnuts out of the fire. The
Unit& States is merely trying to pre-
serve civilization and honest information
al relations. 1t is trying to protect civil
ization and honest international relations
from an international BLACKBOARD, which
has demonstrated its unfitness for decent
company of nations. The United States
hopes for no territory, expects none.
That in itself is convincing proof of its
unselfshness in entering the war.

The first better acquaintance tour
of the Burlington Merchants association
is said to be scheduled TO pass through
Nebraska Notch to the eastern side OF
Mount Mansfield. From personal expe-
rience we can vouch for the fact that
the Burlingtonians will become thor
oughly well acquainted with about as
vicious tribe of mosquitoes and black
flies as they ever met; and they will keep
moving so as TO avoid long contact.
Otherwise, the trip by foot, OF coursef
will be perfectly delightful.

The Vermont National Guard reserve
will be called into active service on July
25, the day on which the National Guard
is scheduled to leave Vermont for the
training camp in Charlotte, \. c. The
National Guard reserve may have an i'm
portant part to play in the protection
of home interests, once the bitterness of
actual conflict between Americans and
Germans on the field of battle may have
started. There is little likelihood that
persons of German descent but of Amer
lean citizenship will attempt, or will even
countenance, any law breaking; but there
are always a few hotheads, against whom
protection is needed.

WHERE THE SHOE PINoHEs GER
MANY,

MAN Il
II was not so much the fact that the
United States had entered the war that
brought Germany TO realizing sense OF
the futility of her fight; but it was the
act OF the United States government,
following belatedly after the declaration
Of a state of war, in shutting off exports
of food products to neutral countries,
which had been surreptitiously sending
great deal Of the food products to Ger
many. Germany realized, of course, that
the United States could throw a vast
weight of military force into the war,
but that the influence would be long de-
ferred because of the necessity of train
ing the hundreds OF thousands OF men,
Before that training could be completed,
Germany had hoped to finish off her i'm
mediate enemies by the use OF the sub
marine or by military genius. So the
entry of the United States was not
greatly feared az once as a military fac
tor. However, when the government at
shut off the flow of food
stuffs to neutral countries contiguous
to Germany, that was different story
and brought about immediate effects. If
the neutral countries were able to feed
themselves and still supply great deal
If foodstuffs to Germany they can per
laps worry along on their own resources.

A House of Dreams.

There's little house on little street
a little way from little stream
And O, its there our weary feet
Fain would carry us once more to
dream.
For all the world is dark before
And our dreams are dreams no more.
IN that little house by the little stream
There's no sordid hopes nor blighting
care
Twere heaven enough could we but
dream
The dreams that once we dreamed
there,
For the world is full of sorrow and pain,
And we would be young and dream again.
In that little house in years that have
gone
We lived and dreamed and knew no
care
We dreamed Of days that had no dawn
And of deeds that none would dare.
For you were young and | was young,
And the dream portals were wide flung.
So weary OF the world and its woe,
We sigh for those happy days-a
child
In the little house long, long ago,
Where we but laughed and the world
smiled,
But alas! We are old and our hearts
are sore,
For those are the days that come no
more
