Governor Graham heard the election
news from Massachusetts with consider
able interest and some enthusiasm, no
doubt. Barre Times.
The news, of course, was the re-elec-
ton of Governor Mccall Re election is
the rule instead of the exception in the
Bay state, of course. There has been a
whole lot of editorial discussion of late
about the next governor, some advocat
ing the re election of Governor Graham,
Others arguing strenuously against it.
No harm, whatsoever, will result, but
what's the use of getting unduly excited
about it just now? Does anyone know
that Governor Graham wants another
termf It would seem that that was the
first question to be cleared away before
the making of much additional splurge
st. Adams Messenger.
You may be right, neighbor but still
you must realize that these are the DAYS
of draft of sacrifice and of dedication to
the service of the government in all its
branches. So possibly it is not so much
wants to be governor of Vermont again
as it is whether Vermont wants him
again and is going to demand his serv-
ices. If the state demands, Governor
Graham can scarcely refuse; if it should
be thought that he is in position to
give the state the best service at the
present time it is not for Governor Ora
ham to say nay but to accept the respon-
sibility. Moreover, it is not conceivable
that the present executive of Vermont
would be unresponsiye if so signal dis
tinction should come to him as to offer
him reelection over the grave of the
mountain rule"

THE AMERICAN ARMY AT THE
FRONT

Increasing casualties in the American
army now engaged on the western front
in Europe are bound to come as the
army takes its selected place shoulder to
shoulder with the British and the
French. 1t is not probable that any con
siderable section of the front line has
been taken over by General Pershing's
forces, but to all intents and purposes
the American troops are in the fight and
are not merely going through prelim-
mary training as the cabled reports in
dicated when they stated that the Amer
leans had taken their places on 'quiet
sector for training purposes. The
Americans are holding part of the
first line, one contingent being sent there
TO remain for the number of days fixed
by the British and French systems, then
to 90 to their bilets for rest while an
other contingent goes to the same
trenches. 1t is the program of the sol
diers of the British and the French army
that is being followed by the American
commander Moreover, the trenches held
by the Americans are being shelled by
the German guns with about as much
frequency as are the trenches of their
allies in the less vital spots of the front
So it may be asserted that the Amer
leans are not merely going through pre-
liminary training; they are fighting
against the Germans That we do not
hear more about their participation in
the war is because their commander. in
conjunction with the allied commanders, /
has not seen fit TO send the forces into
an offensive operation as yet, while the I
enemy Is busily engaged in other and I
more important sectors and has not paid .
particular attention to the Americans .
Our turn viii come in the sudden. blind /
ing fury Of a great action. either often
siye or defensive, but the forces under |
Pershing are Just as surely in the war
a are their British or their French al
lies. To say that they are merely going
through preliminary training ! to do
them an injustice and to minimize the
Importance Of the work which they are
doing.

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Protest Against Christmas Tree Cutting

| Editor, Times | have noticed in YOU
news items of the shipment of evergreen
Christmas trees going forward from thi'
station and have also seen fiat ears load
ed in the railroad yard with these ship
ments, ready to go forward.
| understand that at the present time
there is a shortage of from one hundred
TO two hundred cars TO take care OF the
granite orders now ready to ship from
Barre. In these days Of crying need for
conservation of resources, both materials
and food supplies, it seems one of the
greatest shames being allowed perpetrat
ed in this country; this cutting of our
small forests of evergreen trees, More
over, our granite manufacturers would
like mighty well to see these fiat cars
set at their sheds for their delayed ship
ments.
Every one of these small trees is a
spruce, which in from twenty to thirty
years would be of sufficient size to make
quarter or half a cord of pulp wood, to
be ground into paper for which there are
so many needs, and if properly trimmed
up when young and allowed to stand for
thirty or forty years, would then be
available for lumber for building pur-
poses.
Every newspaper in the state of Yer
mont should urge our representatives in
Congress to enact such laws at the next
session, as would prohibit this slaughter
of trees until they have been allowed
to grow to sufficient size to be used for
practical purposes. Our country will
come to realization of the necessity of
of our forests when it is
perhaps too late, as we are learning from
the Germans the necessity of conserva-
ton along other lines; but, we hope, not
too late.
Let the Riddles hang up their Christ
mas stockings in the old fashioned way
and then recall to our minds that old
saying "Woodman spare the tree and
lct accordingly.
A conserver.

FREE BRIDGE OPENED.
Notable Exercises Held on Structure Be-
tween Woodsville and Wells River.

Wells River, Nov. l6-The free bridge
between the villages of Wells River and
Woodsville was formally opened yester.
day afternoon in the presence of nearly
5000 people. Gov. Horace f. Graham led
a procession of thousand people from
the Vermont side and Gov. Harry w.
Reyes led as large a number from the
New Hampshire side. The two divisions
met in the center of the bridge, the gov
ernors of the two commonwealth shook
hands and short addresses were made by
both and by Gilbert A. Davis of Wind
sor, chairman of the Vermont free bridge
commission.
The new bridge is 234 feet long, is
built of iron and cement and cost 100000.
Most of the cost was borne by the towns
of Newbury and Haverhill and it will
replace the toll bridge of the Boston &
Maine railroad, which it parallels.

POTATO NOTES

Potatoes in the Fort Fairfield mar
kets Wednesday were going at $3.50,
with many predicting a rise to SO. Not
very many were being brought in, the
majority Of the farmers having places
of storage in which to place their po-
tatoes for the purpose Of holding them
for higher prices. This year the
Aroostook farmer, owing to the scar
city Of labor and the high wages paid
to farm laborers, must get high prices
for his potatoes to make any profit at
all. With the cost Of fertilizer as, it
was last spring. and the increase In
cost of production in every way, many
OF the farmers figure that they will
have to get $3.50 for their potatoes to
come out with any profit at all.
