Strange how these crack athletics
from big high schools gravitate toward
Goddard seminary in Barre and Colby
academy in New London, n. H., Here
is Swords, a letter man in both base
ball and football at Holyoke high
school, who announces that he is going
to Goddard after he finishes ais course
at Holyoke. Of course there is no
suspicion that these stellar athletes are
dug up because of their prowess
in sports. And yet we shall always re
member how the Barre Times used to
tell about the positions some of them
were going to occupy on the athletic
teams almost before they had ap-
preached the shades of the classic
halls.

High as is the fire loss per capita in
the United States if is stated to be
even higher in Canada. The fire pre-
vention engineer of the Canadian Com
mission of Conservation j. Grove Smith,
in recent address is reported as hav-
ing said that the average fire loss per
with 1926 in the United States and "a
cents in England, II cents in France,
G3 cents i'll Italy, 80 cents in Norway
"A cents in Sweden, 80 cents in Austria
2S cents i'll Germany, and l3 cents in
Switzerland. He ascribes the differ
ence largely to the safer methods OF
construction followed in European coun-
tries, but this would not seem to ac-
count for the difference of 20 cents per
capita between the loss in Canada and
that in the United States. Mr.. Smith
advocated the greater use of automatic
sprinklers and calculated that as las1
year there were 261 fires with a los
of 81, 000,0 900, there would have beer
a net saving, if automatic sprinkle
systems had been installed in the dam
aged or destroyed establishments o
$1,000, 600, as well as a great decreas
in the insurance premiums paid. WheI
comparing conditions in Canada wit
those in Europe, he said: "We labo

vent them There is much commo
sense in Mr.. Smith s argument, whie
should be taken seriously to heart b
property owners in both Canada an
the United States.

Surgical Dressings.

You take piece of gauze, they say,
And make it four by eight,
Keep your selvedge just this way,
Then fold it 50; but wait,

For If they get within the wound,
The = Sam to heaven might so.
Now find the center, pretty near,
And fold It nice and flat.
Now fold again this way, you hear?
Then take your knife and pat.

Or roll the sclvedgc o 'er.
Don t lose your patience, neither pout,
Remember what it 8 for.

WRITE TO THEM.
How Letters from Home Hold the
Front Line Trenches in France.

Tell women OF America to write letters
to their men at the front-and then more
letters It's home-letters that hold the
hrst-line trenches
This is the message brought back TO
America by Captain II. II. Pearson, the
first Canadian to go to Franee after war
was declared, and the first to see service
with kitchener's army. Later he was
wounded when bomb struck the Young
Mems Christian association headquarters
at Belgian Poperinghe, OF which he was
in charge He has seen hundreds OF men
20 over the top. and lesser number come
back again He has been over the top
and come back again Both from expert
ence and from observation he knows what
it is that puts heart into soldiers when
they stand near the edge of No Man )
Land, with the shells bursting around
them.
For two years Captain Pearson, as a
commissioned officer OF the Canadian
Army, has supervised the Young Men 5
Christian association work along the en-
tire Canadian front in France He was
wounded twice and 'gassed' and has now
been sent home by the Canadian army to
tell the folks back home OF conditions
. over there.

BIG MOVEMENT OF GRAIN.
Administration Report Indicates so
Per Cent Increase.

WASHINGTON, March Reports
showing that nearly 50 per cent more
grain has been hauled to Western pri-
mary markets during the last three
weeks than in the same period last
year were made public yesterday by
the railroad administration In spite
of this great movement, however, the
reserve of grain in elevators of West
ern primary markets is now only one
third of that Of one year ago. This
is attributed partly to the serious in
tcrference with TRANSFORMATION in De
eember and January and partly TO mar
ket conditions, which took wheat from
the elevators for milling earlier this
season.
In the three weeks between February
/ and March grain receipts at West
ern primary markets were 50. l79, 600
bushels. as compared with IL. 1911 900
bushels in that period last year. More
than half. or - $4,000 bushels were
corn. as compared with 100000 bush
els last year; u 529, 900 bushels Were
oats, as compared with l. 500, 900 bush
els last year, and 1885, 600 bushels
were wheat, IA compared with 1888,
600 bushels last year.
Between February ! and March ,
$3.50 ears OF grain were loaded in the
entire country, including 61,s42 in the

RENEWED TESTIMONY.

No one in Brattleboro who suffers
backache, headaches, or distressing
urinary ills can afford to ignore this
Brattleboro man s twice-told story. 1t
Is confirmed testimony that no Brat
tleboro resident can doubt.
o. F. Howe, blacksmith and carriage
maker, Elm street, Brattleboro, gave
the following statement on September
%, 1908: "Mv back troubled me for
long time and | got lame from stoop-
ing and lifting, | could hardly straight
en- up. Sharp pains caught me every
time ! stopped and though tried plas-
tiers and liniments and several RENE
dies for my back, / got no relief. Fl
nally, | got Doan s Kidney Pills from
the Brattleboro Drug Co and two
boxes did what the other remedies had
failed 10 do. They removed the lame
ness and soreness from my back, the
backache left and my kidneys became
regular l could once again work all
day and didn I feel the affects of it in
my back
On November 20, 1916, Mr.. Howe
said: Doan = Kidney Pills are just as
high in my estimation today as they
were when ! gave them by first recon-
mendation. Every time / have the
least trouble with my back, I use
Doan 5 Kidney Pills and they always
strengthen me up N good shape"

days and days and days-not two or
three. And they even have years and

Evidences are accumulating that the
habit Of saving among the American
people especially among the patrons
of savings banks and postal savings,
is outstripping the financial demands
made upon them by the government.
While no exact figures are available
at present, it is known that postal saw
ings deposits have steadily gained dur
ing the year 1917, and notably since
the LIST of July of that year, which was
after the first issue of the Liberty loan.
The reports from savings banks also
show Il steady gain, and the same is
true of cooperative building and loan
associations. Nor have the people of
small means been the only savers. 1t
is estimated that the savings of the
whole people of the United States, or
dinarily $4,000, 900 900 to $6000,000
600 annually were increased TO $l4,
600, 100000 to $4,000, 900 in 1917
The response of the people to the ma
tional need of economy and saving
has been general and generous.
