WILL KEEP PROPERTY LIST.
Board of Trade to Keep in Touch with
Persons Having Rooms Houses or
Farms to Rent or Sell.

In line with q recommendation of
President Walker in his annual report
to the board of trade, the board is pre-.
pared to keep a list of all rooms to
rent, houses to rent and farms to rent
or sell in this locality. No charge will
be made for the service the only consid-
Grafton being that owners of the prop
erty shall keep the list corrected.
Persons having property of this kind
for rent or sale are asked to inform the
secretary of the board of trade by let.
ter, telephone or personal call, stating
name, address, price and location of
property. Then the board of trade will
be in a position to answer inquiries
from persons desiring such property
and to put them in immediate touch
with the owners.
1t can be seen readily however, that
unless persons listing property are par
ticular about keeping the secretary in
formed of any changes the list will lose
much Of its value.

SLOW PAY FOR GUARDS.
No Money Yet from State with Which
to Pay Bills Have Been Made Out
Three Weeks. s1>

Men who were placed ON guard at
various points in and near Brattleboro
by Sheriff C. f. Mann, who acted under
telephone orders of Governor Horace
+. Graham, believe that the state will
find it less difficult in the future to
obtain men for that or other purposes
if the state will pay its bills with some
claim to promptitude.r
Three men were placed on guard at
the Somerset dam, f2 miles from Will
mington. At the time they went there
they were obliged to pack in their sup
plies as q team or automobile could not
get through. This was about the middle
of April. Last week squad of soldiers
appeared with orders to take over the
guard duty.
The men who had been dcputizcd to
do the work refused to admit them to
the property as they were acting under
strict orders not to admit any persons
without q pass. No notification had
been sent to the men that they had
been relieved, but telephone inquiry
at state headquarters gave them the
necessary information and they gave
up their jobs
They disposed of what supplies they
had in camp to the soldiers and then
the store keeper wanted his pay for
the balance of the bill. The men had
received no pay from the state at the
rate of So day and could not meet
the store bill A Wilmington official
guaranteed the bill and the guards who
were out of jobs started for THEN
homes in three different towns without
a cent of money.
The men had made out their bills
May as directed for the number OF
days they had been on duty in April.
The same is true of men who were
on guard at the Vernon dam and of
men who are still on guard at the gas
house here. They think that three
weeks is more than time enough to per
nit the auditing and paying of a state
| bill. ri.

Mr.. Ford's Profits.
(Barrc 'rimcs.)

Most people will he ready TO agree
with Henry Ford that monthly in
come of from i 100000 to $2.J0O,00O0
is enough for any firm, inasmuch as
that would he $lS,500000 to $30,0O0,0O0
a year. Some people will 90 further
and say that the income is entirely too
big for any firm to have. In stating
his position Mr.. Ford reveals what an
enormous profit accrucs from his great
industry. lie says: 81 don 7 believe
in excessive incomes, and | have been
fighting to hold down our income right
along. We made an enormous profit
last year because we needed the money
for expansion and benefit that even
tually will go to the buyer and laborcr.
We could easily have maintained our
prices for this year and cleaned up as
high as $75,000,000 but | don think
it would have been right to do so. So
we cut our prices and are now clearing
s 100000 to $2,500,000 month, which
is all any firm ought to make. When
a man has to fight to keep down his in
come it can be readily seen that he
might be willing to contribute heavily
for the prosecution of the war; as Mr..
Ford states he is willing.

INCREASE MILITIA TO 4oe,1
Under the National Defense Act of
June 8, 1916, vermont's Allotment
To


The war department hopes to form
an effective fighting force of moro
than 100000 men through the expan
sion of the National Guard under the
authority given ia the National De-
fense act of June 3, 1916.
Under that act the National Guard
may be expanded through enlargement
Iof existing units and the formation of
new units until it reaches total of
ASSOC, including naval militia. This
force is to be formed on the basis of
representative. For the 531 senators
and representative this allotment would
give 424, 800 men. Adding 5000 for the
insular possessions, and subtracting
24,700 reserved for the naval militia,
gives total of 400, 100 for the Ma.
tional Guard. There are now fewer
than 100000 in the guard To obtain
the increase the present units will be
raised to full strength and new units
formed.
In accordance with President Will
son S orders, Brig. Gen. William A..
Mann of the General staff, as chief of
the division of militia affairs, has sent
to each adjutant general complete in
formation about the quota assigned for
each state, the units to be comprised,
and the order in which the units shall
be organized.
The Allotment to Vermont is given
as 5000 men, divided as follows:
A-To Fifth National Guard Infan-
try division, one regiment of infantry
one squadron Of cavalry. Organization
of cavalry squadron not desired at
present; one infantry battalion should
be organized iii its placc)
BIO army corps troops one rcgi
mcnt of field artillery, three battalionS
of two batteries (fcld artillery rcgi
mcnt to be organized frst.) Sanitary
