There is only one case of infantile
paralysis in Barre" This statement,
from the Office of Health Officer Dr. J. w.
Stewart, was made early this afternoon
and again sets at naught the daily crop
of rumors in which new cases are num-
bered anywhere from 10 to 63. II is
true that the case of another infant is
under observation, which DR.. Stewart de-
scribed to-day as suspected case. It is
in a family where every preeaution has
been taken to guard against the disease
and in the present instance expert med
ical advice has been sought to diagnose
the childs illness. The result of the
diagnosis is still in doubt

HOW TO CUT THE COST.

Farming is the most important in
dustry in the country. Next comes
transportation.
The former has been made a fine
art. The latter is still a problem TO
be wrestled with and seems to be-
come more and more involved as civ
ilization and business advances.
Our needs have increased. We eat
and drink and wear things that our
forefathers regarded as luxuries and
almost unprocurable.
Seam and electricity have brought
these things within our reach. But
the methods of handling produce and
commodities have not grown as rap
idly as have our demand fer these
things.
For example, our coffee comes from
Brazil; our cereals from the west. orr
sugar from Cuba or Hawaii, our milk
from farms.
Many states and many countries
are tapped for our supplies and our
tables draw tribute from many
sources.
The things we eat, drink and wear
must in large measure, be transport
ed, retransported, divided and again
divided, before they reach us in the
form and measures we require them
to meet our individual or family
needs.
Terminals play an important part
in cutting down transportation costs
1t is estimated that it costs more to
rehandle freight than to carry it
and the loss Of time and the attend
ant decrease in the marketable and
dietary value of perishable goods is
in like proportion.
To cut this cost to minimum-to
cut the high cost of living so appre-
ciably--is a problem for public authr-
tiles and enterprise to take up.

THE MEANING OF 1T ALL.

The Liberty loan is an embodied
bond issue
/ 1t is the flesh, blood, soul, ideals,
aspirations and hope of a nation.
1t represents armed men in uni
form.
1t symbolizes the unity of a nation
and declares its purpose.
1t will work out its purpose and
achieve it's future.
The Liberty loan is the voice of a
people. 1t speaks their intent and
declares their willingness to make
sacrifices that their nation may stand
in the form which they inherited it
and that it may be given to others in
the form in which it was received.
The Liberty loan is a pledge to the
men in service that the nation backs
them with every resource available or
to be developed. Each bond taken is
the declaration Of the American TAX
ing it that he is in the war to the eX-
tent OF his ability and fitness.
1t is the chorus of a people support
ing their protagonists, the men in
arms.
1t is the source Of the power which
these men apply.
1t is the material and spiritual sup
port which they feel at their backs
1t is the stimulus which exaIts their
performance of service.
1t marks the difference between a
professional war and peoples war.
1t is the direct connection between
the older and the citizen 1t is the
evidence the citizen gives that he I'm
derstands and appreciates what he
understands and appreciates what the
soldier is doing or fitting himself to
do. 1t is the pledge OF the citizen
to the soldier.
The whole nation will put the pow
er behind the blow which must be de
liyered for the safety OF the Amari-
can republic. Subscription to the Lib
arty loan will represent national IN
ity and national resolve.
They mean national permanence III
the form desired by the American pee
pie.
The war is to preserve this.
The men and the money are given
for it.
