Naturally some business men are not
wholly in sympathy with President Viii
sons appeal to their patriotism a against
their possible profits and it is not strange
that the New York stock market showed
senstiveness to his declaration But
there is no doubt that the President rep
resents the popular sentiment of the coun-
try Conditions are different from Civil
war days, when such a stand by the Pres
ident or any public official was never
thought of and the scandals about army
contracts were given a certain standing by
the fact that great fortunes were made by
war spectators. There is evidently moral
growth in the nation. President Wilson re.
fleets it and the business men must re-
gard it, even il it interferes with their
war profits.

The Statement which ;lEsa ,lrcIi made
in this and other Vermont papers that
the estate of Hctty Green would yield
only $500 IN fees and taxes to this
state, whereas had her residence been in
New York it would have had to pay So
o0o,009, is incorrect as regards the former
amount Judge Button OF Mddlebury
points out that under law passed by
the Legislature of 1917 the statutes relat-
ing to fees for distribution of estates was
amended to read as follows:
For the distribution or division of each
estate by decree of court, two dollars; by
committee appointed by the court, three
dollars If the estate amounts to ten thou
sand dollars in value, ten dollars in adj
dition shall be paid, if the estate exceeds
ten thousand dollars in value, twenty
dollars shall be paid for each additional
ten thousand dollars or larger fraction
thereof in value of such estate
The value of Mrs. Green's estate is cs
timated at from $780, 900 to sl25, 900, 900
If the latter sum. Vermont would be en-
riched to the amount of about S350, 600
OF course, the estate may not be settled
for years, but the tax will have to bC
paid, and will be very acceptable when
ever it comes

who think they have rather lovely tails
We're a little jealous at first but after
a bit they decided it was nice to have
other creatures in the barnyard who
were handsome and who wore gor-
geous feathers. 1t made the barn

1.-THE Pea Fowls nodded their heads
when they arrived in the barnyard,
having been brought there by the
farmer. They were rather proud and
did not wish, to make friends too
quickly. They thought that they
should take their time so as to be sure

Lax Quarantines.
Barre Times


A good many of Vermont s epidemics
are due to lax guarantees in other
states. A woman with q pronounced
case of smallpox was permitted by Con
necticut authorities to travel by train
into Vermont, with the result that she
spread small pox all along the state, the
outbreak of which has just been put
down. Recently a woman was allowed
to leave Greenfield, Mass, although she
had a hard attack of scarlet fever, to
return to her home in the southern part
of Vermont. She was brought by auto
mobile, thus coming i'll contact with few
er people than if she had travelled by
train; but it is quite possible that she
spread the disease even under those
conditions. Vermont is constantly
forced to pay the penalty for iaxity ii
neighboring states, where regulation is
supposedly more advanced than in oul
own state.

Congress, in this action, had in
mind the possible influx of labor from
Europe at the end of the war and was
mot aware that the basic industries

he robbed of their source of labor

fact, properly presented to members

People Of Imperial County Are Called
Upon to Raise $4,000 for
Good Work.

Owing to the immensely increased
TASK the Association has undertaken.
both among our own troops here and
abroad, and among those of our al
lies, the first great budget was found
inadequate, and a new campaign for
$35 100000 for the United States has
been set under way. California has
undertaken to raise $750,000 of this
sum, and to the Valley has been as
signed $4,000 as her fair portion. This,
together with the usual county bud
get, makes $4,000 to be raised in the
county.
Realizing the size of the task the
county committee on last Monday
evening decided that only by the
hearty cooperation of all forces could
this work be done. 1t was therefore
decided to enlist the aid and coop
GRAFTON of the business men of the
Valley in the undertaking, and it is
hoped that large number of the big
men of the community will get behind
the movement.
After a thorough discussion, the
committee were of the unanimous
opinion that the money was here and
would be forthcoming, and plans were
adopted for the formation of both a
county and the various local commit
tee organizations for placing the cam
vass in the field. A number of prom
inent men have already been secured in
Brawley, Imperial and Ell Centre, and
word from the other towns is encour-
aging in the matter of the hearty
cooperation of the bigbusinessmen
of the places, in the matter of time
and money.
