SOLDIER AND SAILOR INSURANCE
purpose.

To the man who has gone to the
colors the United States Government
offers the safest, the most liberal, and
the cheapest insurance on the face of
the earth. Approximately 300, 900 men
have already accepted the Govern
ment's offer, applying for insurance of
about two and three-guarter billions of
dollars. The average amount applied
for per man is more than $500, which
is very close to the $40, 900 maximum
provided for by the law.
This insurance total, great as it is,
should be only beginning. Every
person in the military and naval forces
of the Nation owes to himself and to
those he loves to avail himself of the
full insurance protection. But the
time in which he can do 50 is limited.
Prompt action is imperative.
Those who joined the service before
October 10, 1917, must apply for the
insurance on or before February II,
1918. After that, it will be too late.
The automatic insurance which is pro-
vided until February IL, 1918, is only
partial protection.
Parents, brothers, and sisters, who
have a representative of their family
in the Army or Navy should, for their
own sake, and for his, write to him at
once urging him, if he has not already
done so, to buy the Government insur-
ance. They should urge him to buy
the full $40, 900, and, above all, to buy
it now

HITS PARTY A RAP.

Through its president, Hon. Jonathan
Bourne, Jr., the Republican Publicity
Association has issued from its Wash
ington headquarters the following
"Some administration newspapers
assert that this is no time for politics,
and that this is no time to talk about
the tariff.
'If this is no time for politics, why
has the Democratic national committee
recently reorganized on the most sys-
tematc campaign basis ever attempted
by any party committee in the United
States Why is that committee issuing
partisan publicity matter and maintain
ing an extensive publicity bureau ? If
this is no time for politics, why do we
have solidly Democratic cabinet, why
are the Democratic campaign contrib
utors given the most powerful positions
in our war organization and why was
the chairman of the Democratic nation
al committee chosen to go as q repre-
sentative of this country to the war
conference in Europe?
IF this is no time to talk tariff,
why are we maintaining a tariff com.
mission, and why was that commission
placed in the control of free traders,
and why is the commission now con-
Quoting tariff inquiry? Shall the
business men of America keep silent
while an official organization of free
traders talk tariff? Shall men who
exercise alert foresight in their private
business adopt 'watchful waiting
policy in public affairs Shall we post
pone preparedness for peace until
peace has come Shall men be told
that they are nervous and hystericaP
when they urge preparedness for com
merce just as they were when they
urged preparedness for war? Shall
men who believe in America First
leave tariff discussion and tariff legis-
lation to that political party which, in
1913. legislated for Europe and Asia
hrrt
Shall Republicans cease to talk poll
ties while all the power of the admins
tration is being used to place Democrats
in office? Let the Democratic press
answer.

Immediately sold in the open market,
which tends to suppress the market
price and adversely affects sales OF
future issues.
The strongest efforts are made by
the Treasury Department to have
these Government bonds purchased for
permanent investment by the people
and paid for out of savings, thus not
only providing funds for the Govern
ment but effecting conservation OF
labor and material; exchanging them
for merchandise therefore defeats this
purpose.

PUBLISHER CANNOT AVOID
RAISING HIS PRICES IF HE
WOULD STAY IN BUSINESS

The farmer today pay $500 for years
subscription with less than one bushe of wheat.
-Four years ago he had to use about one and one
half bushels to pay Sl.00 for years subscription.
Wheat is selling at S. 20 instead of 20 cents a
bushel.
Meat is selling for from 80 to 70 per cent more
now than It did when the war started.
Cotton is selling at 30 cents pound instead Of
the usual 10 to II cents.
All other things produced on the farms have
gone up in price in proportion to those mentioned
above
High prices for farm products have brought
prosperity to the farmers and farming commun-
tiles. They are wartime prices and are neces-
sary to create throughout the nation that degree
of general prosperity needed in financing war
But high prices cannot stop with what the
farmer receives for his products 1t is because OF
these prices that the mills and factories in which
the type, the machinery, the paper, the plates the
rollers, the Ready-Prints and everything else we
use in conducting newspaper and printing office,
are paying wartime wages to their employees
1t is because of these prices that the things you
buy cost you more than they cost in peace times.
And it is because of these prices that we must
get more for Our product than we receive in peace
time if going to continue in business ii
the sheriff is not going to close our doors.

Birds are almost as busy as bees,
ana their work In increasing crop

BONDS IN TRADE

their efforts to sell merchandise and

The Secretary states that he has no

Because the United States government
expects it,
Because 700 or 500 Barre boys in serv-
ice must be backed up.
Because it means a hard blow at the
kaiser and his crowd
Because Barres share is absolutely
needed to bring Washington county up
TO its quota.
Because the purchase of war savings
stamps is a splendid investment, backed
by all the credit of the United States.
These are some of the reasons. There
are Others which may appear to the in
dividual who thinks on the subject There
should not be a single adult in the city
of Barre who does not hold war saw
ings certificate and there should be hun
dreds of them who pledge themselves to
buy in denominations of hundreds, even
up to a thousand, the limit allowed by
the government to an individual So
when the canvassers come around to-
morrow fill out the pledge for a big in
yestment.

This Town Received Pledges of $4,000
During W.. S. S. Drive.

The town meeting called by Governor
Graham for last Friday evening was well
attended, Leo Seaver acting as chairman.
The opening number was patriotic duet,
played by Misses Margery Weller and
Leona Calef Prayer was offered by Rev.
Paul Weller, after which song was
nicely sung by Lola Seaver and Lyle
Downing
In her usual winning manner, Miss
Lena Seaver of Williamstown gave an

this, Mayor Mitchell Of Montpelier gave
timely address to very enthusiastic
audience, being interrupted repeatedly by
hearty applause. After an appropriate
vocal solo by Joseph Lawler, Mr. Seaver,
in behalf of the audience, fttingly
thanked Mr.. Mitchell for coming to
Washington in the midst Of his many
duties and giving a stirring address. The
program was closed by singing The Star
Spangled Banner"
The solicitors were able to report $l0,
900 as the result of the canvass. Due
to difficulty in securing sufficient pledge
cards, some of the work had to be done
late Friday, and possibly some few did
not get interviewed II there be any
such, please confer at once with William
Rogers or Miss Olive Calef, who will take
delayed pledges.
Although the town quota is Sl5,240,
the citizens feel we'll pleased with results
obtained thus far, knowing many dare
not and others cannot pledge themselves
for any amount, in the face OF frozen
crops 1t is hoped that the replanted
crop can mature and so enable many to
help out on the quota before the year is
over.
At this time the committee wish to
thank all who helped in any way during
the war savings stamp campaign, and
especially to thank those living outside
town who gave a pledge to Washington.

WHAT BARRE MUST DO.

Although somewhat belated by reason
of the tapping over of the war chest cam
paign, Barres war savings stamp drive
tomorrow should lose none of its enthu-
siasm or effectiveness. Indeed, Barre
should be inspired by the splendid show
ing, made by the state as whole last
week, to raise its quota of $2l4,00O. To
morrow the people of Barre are to be
asked to pledge themselves to buy these
stamps to the utmost of their ability
during the remainder of the year 1918.
This pledge does not necessitate payment
on the spot, but it is simply a promise
to buy during the six months to come.
just why Barre people should raise
this quota may be summed up in the fol-
lowing:
Because the United States government
Is calling for It,
