Automobile manufacturers must put
their plants on a 100 per cent war basis
by Jan. |, according to an order an
noumced by the war industries board.
The primary purpose, of course, is to
conserve steel and other materials for
more essential uses, but to the man at
the wheel it will instantly occur that the
order greatly increases the distance be-
tween the automobile factory and the
scrap heap. While the prescription on
the manufacture of pleasure cars con-
tinues it will take something more than
an irritating squeak or a refractory car
buretor to convince a man that he needs
an entirely new outfit. The order, in
cidentally, places higher premium on
so-called used cars, while the practice OF
converting partially worn pleasure cars
into trucks will become almost extinct
for there Is nothing to show that the
war industries board contemplates any
immediate curtailment in the output OF
service cars. AS for the manufacturers
they are to furnish sworn statements OF
the amount of materials on hand at the
present time, and until they have com
piled with this feature of the order, no
additional material will be permitted
them.

COULDN'T PAY INCOME TAX.
Soldier Up Against It. Years Salary
Wouldn't Pay Tax.

Washington, D. c., Aug. ll.-Dificul-
ties of soldiers who formerly were sue
cessful business men, in paying last
years income tax on this years pay are
illustrated by a story brought 70 Wash
ington by an officer serving at one of the
southern cantonments.
Last February, the officer said, he ex-
planned to the men of his command that
all married men would have TO pay a tax
on all their last years earnings over
81, 900, while all unmarried men would
have to pay on all income over $1,000.
Coming TO him later one of the men, a
private, said:
81 guess won't be able to pay that
income tax. haven't any money"
ooh, that's all right replied the off
Ger. "You have until June to pay 1t ant
you can save it out Of your pay by that
time
"I'm afraid / couldn't" responded tbs
private. 81 made $4,000 last year and
blew It all In when was called into the
army"

California is facing the prospect Of
eating wild meat, as the result Of plans
submitted by the livestock commission
Of the Z. S. food administration. The
commission cites the fact that large
droyes Of half wild horses are roaming
the mountains of northern California.
They are useless for draught purposes
and they are consuming grass and herb
age badly needed for beef cattle. In
short, the commission suggests the wis
dom Of putting this horsefesh on the
market Eating jerked horse meat will
not be new thing, although some of
our people who are fond of dried beef
would resent Indignantly any suggestion
that they had ever partaken Of horse
flesh.

Pretty Home Wedding Celebrated at

Sunday, Aug. II, was the date Of a
very pretty home wedding which was cole
brated at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Russell M. JefTords in Williamstown,
when their son, Erskine NJ Jeffords, was
united in marriage with Miss Margaret
Shay Of Chelsea, Rev Robert Haseltine,
pastor Of the M. e. church in Chelsea,
being the officiating clergyman. Only the
immediate relatives of the contracting
parties we're present, and the bridal eou
pie were unattended. The room in which
the ceremony was performed was taste.

with large American flag as back.
ground The double ring service was
used.
Following the marriage service light
refreshments were served, after which
the couple left for a short wedding trip,
before the groom enters the national
army Of the United States.
Both the bride and groom are gradu-
ates Of Montpelier seminary, the bride
being now a senior at Middlebury col
lege and the groom was graduated from
Syracuse university in the class Of 1918.
In behalf of their many friends in town
and vicinity, we extend to Mr.. and Mrs.
Jefrords best wishes for a long and happy
life.

The German admiralty has announced
the death of Lieutenant Commander
Schwieger, who commanded the sub
marine which sank the Lusitania,
That his demise is dated September,
1917, will not convince good many peo-
pie that the announcement would have
been long overdue had it been made on
the day Of his death. When many Of
the minor happenings of the war have
faded into obscurity, the sinking of the
Lusitania viii loom up as one of the
milestones of the conflict, and the pro.
lection will not be associated with
Schwieger but with the atrocity Of which
he was guilty The assassin of the
Lusitania was in command of the U-ss

other commander felt chain grating
along the side Of his boat and thought
he had run into an uncharted British
mine field. Followed terrific explosion
under water, The second boat rose rap
idly and signalled for the other, but
there was no reply. A vain watch was
kept for the U-Ss and she has not been
heard from since. There is little doubt
that she sank. People who ordinarily
are tender-hearted may prefer to think
that Schwieger's last moments were tor
tured with horrifying thoughts Of the
women and little children who lost their
lives on the Lusitania

A short time ago the states attorney
of Washington county was prompt in
conveying to certain athletic clubs in
Barre and Montpelier the hint that he
should consider Sunday baseball to be in
very bad form, albeit promoters of the
game hoped to stage their contests far
enough away from village and city to
remove it from the category of an open
nuisance. 1t is altogether probable that
the weight of public sentiment here
abouts is against Sunday baseball, yet
the presence on the streets each Sunday
Of young men and grown-ups who are
