The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1917-10-24

We admire the good sense and the
pluck of the new editor Of the Middle
bury Register in printing the legitimate
news of his section whether that news
may reflect on persons OF high estate or
low estate. Because it published the in
formation about the arrest of Middle
bury lawyer, another lawyer in the town
withdrew his five-dollar-a- year advertis
ing card from the columns of the paper.
In righteous indignation, not over the
loss of the five dollars but because of the
presumption of the second lawyer, The
Register remarks:
at would be a pitiful state of affairs
were newspaper purporting to repre-
sent the community TO bargain with any
man or set of men to shield them from
the consequences of their acts The Reg
lister never will be so low. 1t will merci-
lessly expose any man or clique or men
who would by the leverage of their pat
ronage of our advertising columns seek
to threaten, intimidate or influence us
into anything but a straightforward pol
icy OF recording facts deemed of interest
or Importance to the people of Addison
county. We will sell printers
ink, but we do not carry whitewash."
1t is creed worthy of any reputable
newspaper and we are glad that The
Register expressed it so clearly. Incl
dentally, let us express our opinion that
The Register, under its new director, is |
constantly enlarging its prestige among
the newspaper fraternity of the state
and it is even now regarded as one of |
the best weekly newspapers in Vermont.

Mr.. Dale's Mission.

In connection with Congressman Por-
ter Fl. Dale's trip to the battle zone of
Europe, The Barre Times says;
After reading Congressman Porter Fl
Dale's announcement that he was going
to Europe, one is forced to admit that
Congressman Dale is a master hand at
circumlocution if not of circumnaviga l.
ton
Mr. Dale's statement Of his duties and
purposes was not so clear and wellput
as it might have been if dashed off by
the trained logicians of the east.side
press, but it told what he was about and
where he was going.
just why are The Times and other
contemporaries so obviously set on max
ing the worst of Mr.. Dales doings and
sayings?
In commenting on the same subject
the Brattleboro Reformer wanted to
know why Congressman Frank L. Greene
was not chosen for the same mission.
The answer is that Mr. Greene is going to
Hawaii in a similar capacity.
So there is honor for Greene and hon
or for Dale, and apparently they both
deserve it and will do what they can
TO make their missions successful and

DON'T STOP BUYING LIBERTY
BONDS.

Although the concentrated drive for
the sale of Liberty bonds in Barre was
carried out in a single day, and with
markedly good results, the obligation Of
those capable of purchasing bonds does
not cease with the closing of that day.
! Their duty remains until such time as
| they shall have subscribed to the extent
of their ability. Possibly some of those
interviewed yesterday were not able to
make up their minds as to the amount
of bonds they will take Perhaps con
siderable number of people We're skipped
in the hurried combing of the six wards
of the city. Some Others may have tax
are in a position to purchase more. To
all of these goes an urgent appeal to-
come forward during the few days re-
naming before the end of the national
campaign in order to do their bit toward
an honorable victory for the United
States and our allies engaged in the gi-
gantic struggle to rid the world of an
international peril. Moreover, we have
solemn obligation to the many scores
of young men who have gone from our
city to fight the battles for freedom and
democracy in our behalf; we must not
leave them in the lurch; we must show
them by our contribution of dollars that
we are heart and soul with them in their
patriotic service. So let the purchasers
continue to visit the banking institutions
of Barre right up TO the closing time
next Saturday.

BARRE'S HOSPITAL NEEDS YOUR
HELP

So many calls for money for national
purposes may cause us to forget for the
time some of our local needs; and while
not desiring to cause any lessening in the
drive for the sale of Liberty bonds, we
desire to suggest that Barre must keep
in mind the elemental needs of our own
people. Our local hospital has its an
nual bag day tomorrow and all it re.
ceiyes on this occasion helps to keep
down the expenses of maintenance. This
is an especially hard year for hospitals.
Forty-six such institutions in New York
face deficit of more than million dol
lars One Boston institution advertising
for funds states that it ran behind $780,
900 last year and is under heavier ex-
pense this year Barre's hospital is cop
ing with this same problem of high costs
in everything that goes into the mainte
nance of the institution, without having
any added revenue to help meet the in
creased costs. Simple reminder of the
need ought TO be enough for our citizens

OVER THE TOP.

Over the top we go tomorrow,
Though shot and shell may rend our ranks
To win the foemans trenches narrow
In the wake Of the numbering tanks.
Over the top with song and jest
To race with death through No Mans Lant
And answer TO the hero's test
In the hour by destiny planned
Over the top with thoughts Of home,
Where moistened eyes may read In case"
Writ by the light where eannons boom
And the flare Of the shells In our face.
Over the top beneath drum fire
And through the clouds Of poisoned gas
That float along, funeral pyre
Like the fumes Of the Witches grass.
Over the top and some will fall.
Their blood will sink and harvests grow
Who're focks shall hear the shepherds call
When the sun in the west is low.
Over the top without a fear
And some will see our banners fy
And win and wear the eroix de guerre
While their comrades in glory lie

MON -EssENTIAN" INDUSTRIES.

There is talk of curtailing "non- essential" industries.
 What happens to be a "non-essen- tial' industry will be matter for disagreement.
 A silk manufacturer was the first to feel the pinch of the new dispen- sation-he wasn't aided in getting sufficient coal to run his plant. Pro- bably it was figured that in these days of suffering the wearing of silk dresses is unnecessary.
 On the other hand, some industries will be deemed mon -esential" which should not bs crippled. In our conn plex civilization all industries are of extreme value, and it is our opinion that officials should exercise extreme care in summarily labelling an indus try "non-essential" and crippling or destroying it.

moment.
 This idea of sending 5,O00,0O0 men to France is useless to consider if we haven't the ships with which to do it and, what is still more important, the ships keep them supplied and equip ped after they are across.
 The biggest job on hand at this moment would appear to be the con struction of fleets of ships-merchant- men in such great numbers that we never dreamed of possessing.
 For nothing under the circumstances can be done without an adequate sup ply of tonnage. It is the duty of the government to push the ship-build- ing program to the limit.

Long and Short Falls.

In one Kansas City building, the ele- vator boy who works mornings is very short, and the one who is on afternoons Is very tall. When the short one comes up into view, he says "Watch your step," and you step out and down, al- though the floor is more frequently up. Consequently. you stub your toe and lose your dignity. Then about noon, the tall boy looms up. He says "Watch your step." and your sense of distances tells you the step is up. You raise your foot up, and fall down, crashing into the back of the car, provided some delicate old lady isn't in the way. AL together, the variety of boys Is very ar- moving to man with lame, stiff knee. |-Kansas City Star.

Good Table Manners.

There are innumerable men anu women who would rather be round guilty of violation of any of the Ten Commandments than to be guilty or eating with their knives. John Quincy Adams was the first American presl- dent who ate with his fork. He ac- uulred the custom in France, and Mrs. Adams felt 1t necessary to explain to guests nt the White House that "Mr. Adams couldn't overcome the habit" Andrew Jackson restored republican simplicity" by eating with his knife, as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe and James Madison had donc-Alagazine of American History.

In Rico Flelds.

Rice lands are usually ploughed . short time before planting time. and In some parts of southern Louisiana the land $ so low and wet and the soil so stiff as to necessitate ploughing in the water. Deep ploughtng is rec commended by leading rice experts. It has been demonstrated that the better the soil and the more thoroughly 1t is pulverized the better the crop. The roots of annual cultivated plants do not feed much below the plough line; 1t is therefore evident that deep culti- vation places more food within reach of the plant.

Oldest Bird Known.

The oldest bird known is called the archeopteryx. That is a Greek word, which really means ancient wing" It was an extraordinary bird. It had a long tail, not all feathers as birds tail Is now, but like lizards tail, long and thick, with bones and flesh, and with feathers growing from 1t. It had two legs, with which 1t could walk or perch in the treess but it had two other limbs like hands, which it probably used to climb about the trees instead of flying from bough to bough, as birds now do. It had curious eye fitted with sort of armor shield, as the rep tiles have, and its beak was armed with greut strong teeth. TSere is no such bird as this now.

Abnormal business conditions have unnecessarily frightened some of us. When we look at the stock market that Hunfailing barometer of trade"- and note what should be gilt-edged values slipping to the lowest figures in their history, we are apt to permit that creepy feeling to take the place of backbone.
 Sound business logic, however, would indicate that the nations pas sage through the present fiery fur. mace could not but help shaking up our normal business experiences a great deal. We should remember that when the Great War broke out in 1914 our barometeor of trade" stopped trading altogether-that self-preser vatiion caused almost instant closing of the stock ticking headquarters. And we got along in a business way after all!
 Oar advice, therefore, is not to lose sleep over "gloomy foreholdings" that hail from Wall street. The gentle men who operate the stock and bond works can't explain "the situation" any more than you can-and they are supposed to be experts at explain ing everything under the sun.
 The truth is that the plants, works, buildings, material, enterprise, initia- tive and experience represented by the paper issues that are flat-tiring hith- CT and thither are just as real and earnest today as year ago-some of thdm even exhibiting increased ini- tiative and enterprise.
 And another bit of "naked truth" is that if the markets closed down to- day business tomorrow would be just as busy as today, and the Great War would be one day nearer won just the same.
