Coal Near Island Pond.

Inc discovery of coal in the town of
Brighton IN Essex county has attract
ca great attention in Island Pond. Re-
Gently Alphonse Moulton's attention
was attracted by the number of ssblaek
diamonds unearthed by his plow. The
coal seemed to be pretty well scattered
over a small plowed field and a few
pieces were also found in an adjoining
pasture. A visit was made to locate the
ledge from which the coal came. but
TINS the prospectors failed to do.
The location is about five miles from
island Pond and not far from Fast
Haven on the old stage route TO West
Burke. 1t is in a narrow valley with
massive granite formation on one side
and slate on the other. 1t is within >
mile or two of the old sulphur sphinos
and the site of the once prosperous
Brunswick Springs House which wa,
burned years ago.
The topography of the surrounding
country is strikingly like that of thu
Pennsylvania coal regions. Failure t.
ind the rock body however, gives ris,
to suspicion that the field may hav,
been = sailed - for speculative purposes
~ iohS ago that people had forgotten
about it. A. theory advanced by {
skeptic who has not visited the sec
ton was that the coal might have beer
scattered from defective sled BODY o.
winter road years ago, but this theor,
was exploded by information that tn,
ind was in a field considerably aboy,

the pieces picked up being mixed witt

VALUE OF MONEY.

That three great public works
should have been constructed in this
country during the Civil War which
ranks as one Of the most exhaustive
and expensive wars in history, is
proof conclusive that economic pros
perity need be in no serious danger
in the present war. The three great
works were the building Of the Union
Pacific and the Central Pacific Rail-
roads and the laying of the Atlantic
cable. The telegraph was developed
as a military necessity during the
war and came into general use.
The United States is now rich IN
money. AS things stand, her clti-
zens can well afford to more than
subscribe the full amount Of the new
Fighting Fourth Liberty Loan, and,
from the economic standpoint, do 1t
as safe and sane personal invest
ment. AS the bonds can be bought
on the 81 a week instalment basis
every citizen can have a share in this
prosperity to an extent never before
offered to the American people. saw
ings thus invested bring a good yearly
interest and furnish capital that
will be Of higher purchasing value
when the bonds come due than the
same amount of money is today.

Fighting Fourth Liberty Loan
Facts and Figures
PROSPERITY FOLLOWS WAR

Expansion and invention are the
historical children of war even in de-
feated countries. Following the Civil
War came the opening Of the West
and the industrial development Of the
South. N2ru'2 ctrTe arl agriculture
in France and Germany were stimu-
lated by the Franco-Prussian War.
Spain awoke both politically and in
dustrially as an immediate result Of
the Spanish American War while
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
each saw a development of agricul-
ture and commerce before unknown.
Economic development and serious
attempt TO secure fOr her ptcjaCCs 4
place in the worlds markets came to
the fore in Japan following the
Russo-Japanese War and Russia at
that time saw the beginning Of in
dustrial occupation.
Just what roads progress will
take after this war cannot now be
definitely stated, but it seems certain
that they Will be many and that the
country will enter upon a period Of
greater prosperity than it has known.
The advent Of those prosperous
days can be fastened by a prompt
and liberal purchase OF Fighting
Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds.

HOW THE MAN AT HOME FIGHTS

To the one who must do his fighting
in the trenches back here at nome IL
almost seems as though he really were
in the trenches, throwing bombs, max
ing charges and, always, going over
the ton, when he knows exactly what
the money he is putting into Liberty
Bonds is doing for things on the other
side. Then when he reads the papers
he may think it was his bomb that was
placed in that hero's hands, or that 1t
was he who gave that soldier his
equipment. He knows, then, that he
really is fighting in the trenches, that
the more he gives the harder he tights
and the sooner the day will come when
the victory Is won and he can throw
I'D his hat and shout for the boys as
they come sailing home.
One S100bOnd will provide the burst
ing charge Of T. N. T. for one 1E-inch
high explosive shell. Or, it viii buy
five incendiary bombs. Or, it will buy
continent cans fer three companies OF
soldiers This latter may seem not at
all warlike and very insignificant at
best, but let him go without salt and
pepper for just one day and no other
proof will be needed that these COM
mon articles: have an important place
even in winning this great world war,
the war for democracy, whose aim is
to down the tyrant and make it pos
sible fer each enc Of the great human
family free to develop himself to the
utmost of his talent and ability.

KEEP YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

Current market prices for the sew
era1 Liberty bond issues may be found
on the financial page of any metropol-
ftan daily newspaper. Merchants or
others Offering to pay more or take
the bonds at high prices in payment of
goods, are simply trying to effect sales
with large profits. Bonds so taken are
usually Immediately sold in the mar
ket and such sales aggregating large
volume have formed one Of the chief
elements in depressing the market and
thus hampering the Government. Lib
erty bond holders are advised not to
pay for merchandise or other securi-
ties with Liberty bonds. When bonds
are to be sold it will usually be best
to sell them for cash through banker.

WHAT a F;ETT-COLLAR BOND
WILL BUY

Just how much one is doing for his
country when be purchases a $50 Lib
erty Bond has been computed by the
United States Government in order
that each purchaser may have a reas-
onably definite idea of what the money
he is giving 50 freely, though it may be
with much sacrifice, Is doing to aid
the great war which the sons of the
nation are waging with that determi-
nation which admits Of no surrender,
In far-oT lands across the sea
He who purchases one $50 bond may
have the satisfaction OF knowing that
that sum of money will send 1000
three-inch trench mortar shells on
their way; or, it may provide the burst
ing charge for 100 three-inch trench
mortar shells; or it may provide three
augmentation drop bombs; or ITO
hand grenades; or 50-37 nm. shell; or
two rifles; or knives, forks and spoons
tor an entire company Of soldiers.

The outcome Of the city represent
ative contest in Newport is causing
more comment than almost any other
feature Of the recent primary cleo
tions. Many papers of the state
have commented upon it and the
Newport Express and Standard re-
fers to Mr.. Williams defeat with
some bitterness. But the most sur
prising words this paper has seen
in connection with the whole affair
are the words Of Mr.. Williams him
self, in a letter to his home paper in
which he says, in thanking his sup
porters, ain the face of a most ma
icious and unjust propaganda which
would do credit to the Huns, but
which we do not expect from intel
ligent Americans" These are very
pointed words to hurl at ones towns
men, and show q rather unusual feel
ing for man who has been in public
life and politics so many years. One
would naturally expect veteran of
this kind to take victory or defeat
more or less as matter of course.

WOmen's Part in the War.

definite bit to do. For the first time
in the history Of wars the Govern
ment has called upon and appointed
women to undertake part of its
work. The Women's Committee of

amateur effort depended upon the

zation with it's own definite work to

tary McAdoo. The loan could be

well, and "people" has come to have
a w7~r Significance than it used.
The t-nrnrono nt IS he"innino to re-
alize that q whole is equal only to tie
sum of it's parts and that women are
a large part of that whole and it
wants to help them to be product

The New York Times in an edito-
rial concerning Sept. 18th registration
says: eff one could visualize what
will be happening all over the country
to-day, it would afford one the most
thrilling and impressive sights that
the war has given-thirteen millions
of Americans stepping forward to
answer "ready" at the Nations call"
Perhaps more impressive because it
is the first of it's kind, would be the
sight of our women stepping forward
at cur nations call. Never before
has it come in just this way and the
women are answering "ready."

From preliminary evidence it
would appear that the brewers Of this
country, many of them foreign born,
had played what they believed to be
a master-stroke in furnishing Arthur
Brisbane with nearly $400,00O,00 with
which to purchase the Washington
Times. It is also alleged that the
same interests have influenced other
great newspapers. A thorough in
vestigation from top to bottom will
be welcomed and does not look as
though it would help the cause Of the
liquor interests any. Their days are

According to Clements statement
Of campaign expenses the Republican
nomination cost him approximately
81 per vote which was cast for him.
Frank Howe spent approximately
10 cents per vote and Darling about
double this amount for votes cast
for them. Everything considered
Howe made the best showing. But
a poor man has little show Of being
made governor of Vermont when
men of wealth go after the place
