War, Prosperity, and High Prices

Economically speaking, there is no
doubt at all that the great rise in
prices in the United States, which has
been the true source of our remark
able industrial prosperity, has been
due primarily to an increase in the
export demand for the products of our
industries from about per cent Of
the total volume Of those products to
some 10 or II per cent-this increase
being almost exclusively in products
required for war uses. Arthur Rich
mond Marsh, editor of the Economical
World. But President Wilson demand
ed an appropriation of 100000 to in
vestigate the cause.

Submarines No Barrier

A special foreign trade bullctain, re-
Gently issued by the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, says:
"For many months submarine activ-
fly has been very great on the part Of
the Central Powers and large numbers
Of cncmy ships have been destroyed.
Nevertheless the import trade Of the
countries most directly affected has
no,ably increased"
One Of the countries most directly
affected is the United States. Has the
asso ,iation taken into consideration
The part which the Wilson Underwood
tariff took in making our increased i'm
port trade possible despite the risks
involved?

UNSIGNED COMMUNICATIONS

1t is a rather striking commentary
on the mental attitude of Vermont
people Of the present day that three
newspapers in widely separated places
should have occasion in the same week
to protest against unsigned communi-
cations. The Manchester Journal is
one Of the newspapers, and it says:
I'VE are in receipt Of a somewhat
lengthy communication signed Once a
Teacher which we would be pleased
10 print did we but know who the
author was. They say they wrote it
In a hurry so as to be sure to get Il
in this weeks Journal, but failed in
the most important part-to sign their
name. We have but one place for
communications from unknown per-
sons and that is the waste basket. We
will, however, hold for another week
for the authors name"
Along similar line is the complaint
Of the Randolph Herald and News, as
follows:
"A communication from A Native
Of Orange County worthy Of publica-
ton in every other way, cannot appear
unless the author signs his name to
H."
The third is from the Rutland News
and although il does not refer TO
communication 10 a newspaper but
rather TO the authorities of that city,

In the last issue Ct The Journal our
good friend Ebcr Taylor came across
with an argument in favor q the
present system Of olocting a road com
missioner. The readers Of this paper
know tie position We have taken in
regard to this matter, and we wish to
again say that in our opinion the in
terests Of Manchester would be best
conserved If the road commissioner
was appointed by the selectmen, thus
being removable by them. As it now
stand the road commissioner takes the
funds raised for highway work and
expends them TO suit himself and is
answorable to no one. If his work
doesn't suit you, you have no redress
only TO wait until the next year and
then-enough OF his henchmcn will be
present at town meeting and re-elect
him.

We note the last issue Of the Swan
ton Courier contains but four pages
instead Of the usual eight. Brother
Tobin explains that this is owing to
the fact that traffic is in such condi-
ton, due to the weather conditions,
that they were unable 70 obtain
enough paper for the edition. The
northern part OF tho state has surely
been blessed with severe weather for
the past few weeks, hardly day
passing but some note is made in the

section, practically tying up traffic for
the time being. Cheer up, summers

that conclusion. Ii is not the telling
of single case in Paw Paw, but a

Paw Paw about Doan's Kidney Pills:
George E. Hopkins, barber, Elm st.
Paw Paw, says: STANDING so much
caused my kidneys to get out of order
and had dull pains across the small
of my back. My secretions were un-
natural. Doan's Kidney Pills, pro-
cured from Longwell Bros. store soon
rid me of the trouble. My back did
not trouble me and / was free from
any kind of kidney complaint"

BOOKS FOR OUR
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS

The U. S. government has
asked The American Library as
SOclatlOn to assume responsible
ity for supplying the camps and
eantQnments with reading ma
terial Every group of soldiers,
both large and small, is to have
books. The public library i'm this
city has been asked to gel dona-
tions of books and magazines in
Missouri Valley. These will be
sent to the various camps and
eantonments throughout the
country and will be made avail
able to the soldiers and sailors
through camp libraries. the chap
lains of the army and navy. the y.
M. c.. A., the Knights of Column
bus, and every other welfare
agency at work i'm the camps. If
you write in each book or maya
zine your name and address, the
soldier who reads ii will know
that someone in Missouri Valley
is his friend and stands ready to
help him.
The following is suggested as
to books and magazines desired:
Poorly printed, undressing,
obviously out of date books are
not worth shipping to the mon.
Type should be good and clear
and books in fair condition.
Books of good stories will be
wanted most. books of adventure.

tales. can especially recon-
mend such authors as kipling,
Conan Doyle, McCutchcon, O.
Henry, Stockton, Brindloss, Tark-
ington, Hopkinson Smith. Open
helm, Zane Grey, Churchill, Page,
Wright and Nicholson. Good po-
etry and drama can also be util-
lied All the men must be helped
by these books. Some of them
have not established reading hah-
its. Some of he books must
therefore be light and easily
read. Foreign language books
are also much needed, especially
French grammars and diclionar-
les. Books of travel. biography
and history are wanted. Tech
meal books on aviation, wireless,
telegraphy, automobiles, first aid
and hygiene.
Fresh attractive magazines are
also desired, such as American,
Century, Harper's, Everybody's,
Popular Mechanics, Popular
Science Monthly, Scientific Am
