THE WAR

No happenings of prime import
ance took place on the western or
Italian fronts during the past week.
A big happening did take place,
when the British captured
the famed city of the ages
Jerusalem. Thus another Of the
Kaiser's dreams of world empire has
faded like the mist before the morn
ing sun.
The Italians continue to hold
against Austro- German assaults.
Cival war is raging In Russia.
Indications point to big battles on
the western front. The dispatches
state that Ypres to Cambrai on the
British front and from st. Quentin to
the Switzerland frontier on the
French line giant cannon are roaring
In what is believed to be the opening
chapter in one of the most stupend-
GUS struggles Of the war.
The dispatches show that the
British are prepared for \ German
onslaught.

The destruction of munition- loaded

loss Of life and property, says the

STAND BY THIS EMBLEM
Big Red Cross Membership Drive

Ten million new members In a
week!
That Is the goal the American Red
Cross has set for itself In its Christ
mas membership campaign that is to
be launched December is. Through
out the United States Red Cross
chapters are preparing for the en-
rolIment of the new army which is to
stand rs the organized support OF the
boys In the trenches.
No man is more deeply concerned
In the world war than President
Wilson-who Is also president Of the
Red Cross-and this is his proclama-
tion:
no THE PEOPLE or THE UNITED
4 STATES.
Ten million Americans are invited
to Join the American Red Gross dur
In the week ending with Christmas
Eve. The times require that every
brsnch of our great national effort
shall be loyalty upheld, and it is
peculiarly fitting that at the Christ
mas season the Red Cross should be
the branch through which your will
ingness to help 10 expressed.
You should join the American Red
Cross, because 1t alone can carry the
pledges Of Christmas good will to
those who are bearing for us the real
burdens of the world war, both In
our own Army and Navy and in the
nations upon whose territory the
issues of the world war are being
fought ont. Your evidence of faith
In this work Is necessary for their
heartening and cheer.
You should join the Red Cross be-
cause this arm of the National Ser
vice Is steadily and efficiently MAIN
taining its overseas relief in every
suffering land, administering our
millions wisely and well and awak-
ening the gratitude Of every people.
Our conscienees will not let US en-
Joy the Christmas season II this
pledge Of support to our cause and
the worlds veal is left unfulfilled.
Red Cross membership is the Christ
mas spirit In terms Of action.
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON,
President of the American Red Cross
In responce to the Presidents ap-
peal, the Christmas Week Red Cross
campaign will commence in Meeker
next Monday, December 18th, and
continue for the week. This drive Is
for membership only, and every one
should do their part by enrolling as
. member of the Red Cross and pay
ing the membership fee Of 500.
There will be booth in the Post
office in charge of Miss Mary Moul-
ton, and we hope every person will
call on Miss Mary, with dollar In
hand.
This has nothing to do with our
local Surgical Dressings Committee,
which is allied to the Red Cross and
carrying on special branch of that
society's great work.

BRADSTREETS VERMONT
WEEKLY TRADE REPORT

Bradstreets Burlington Office reports
lumber dealers are complaining to some
extent of a slowing down in the demand.
although there is considerable business
ahead. The amount Of lumber used for
construction work Is said to be not as
large as formerly.
Furniture manufacturers note the
amount of new business received is below
what it has been. Veneer manufacture
ems do not note any change in conditions.
while manufacturers Of bobhdns find fully
AS good demand as has been now for
some time.
Increase in prices are believed to be re-
sponsible in a measure for smaller de-
mands noted above Retail business gen.
orally Is classed as fairly good. although
weather conditions have not been such as
to give the best results.
Manufacturers of knit goods and hos
iery report active calling for goods for
immediate delivery as fast possible. no
matter what previous dates for shipments
were given. Rain has also interfered
with crop planting and work in the fields.
Reports from Vermont district Of Gus
toms indicate the month of April this
year showed an increase in importations
Of little better than ~ per cent. over
those of April of a year ago. The week
in the State was free from mercantile

LIVESTOCK SITUATION.
Farmers and Stockmen should Plan
for Security for Some Years.


Raise more live stock; there will be
high prices for at least three years to
come" this is an emergency message
to farmers and stock growers from G.
Howard DAWSON president of the Inter-
national Live Stock Exposition and chair
man of the executive committee of the
National Agricultural society.
Says Mr.. Dawson: I'm my Judgment
there will be scarcity of nearly all kinds
of live stock for some time to come and
farmers and stockmen should make their
plans accordingly. This means that there
should be no selling of young animals or
female breeding stock merely because
current prices are high. Better money
can be made by working on the UNDER
standing that high prices for hogs. cattle.
sheep and other live stock will rule for at
least three or four years to come.
There is no doubling this in view OF
the knowledge that Europe has lost over
30 per cent of its live stock-that the
whole world in fact is suffering from a
serious shortage in all kinds of food
animals.
There is so much concern over a pos
sible wheat or potato shortage that the
public is forgetting the meat situation.
AS a matter of fact, if every effort were
made to increase the country's supply of
cattle. it would.-be at least three years
before solid results would be apparent
AS regards sheep. it would require at
least two years to make any considerable
increase in numbers. even though every
eve were held back for breeding pur-
poses.
THE best possible program for the
farmer from the standpoint of either pa
triotism or profit is to raise more live
stock and to work on three or four
] year program. at least"
