Where an acre of cotton in this
section was a curiosity a year ago,
worth going miles to see, there are
today hundreds of acres around
Lakeland, which are looking most
promising. An up-to-date cotton gin
is to be established here, and Lake
land will be known as the cotton CEN
ter of South Florida when that con-
Germ gets to operating.

Loyalty in peace times and loyal
ty in war times are two distinct
things. Not much is required to
pass the loyalty test when one coun-
try is not at war; a simple compli-
ance with the law is all that is re-
quired.
But loyalty in war times is not
passive quality. At such time one
may be without loyalty and still not
be disloyal. A person of this type
will do nothing either to assist or to
harm his country. He will not give
himself to his country's service and
he will not contribute financial sup.
port. Neither will he discourage
others from doing this. He will do
or say nothing reasonable, and
neither will he do or say anything
to put heart in the fighting forces or
to uphold the Nation in it's struggle.
He will be simply passive onlook-
err. And that is not being loyal.
Our country is fighting in the most
desperate struggle of history. 1t is
a struggle so vast and momentous as
to demand the most complete sup
port of every one of it's citizens.
Passive loyalty-the loyalty Of peace
times-is not sufficient The brand
of loyalty now demanded is the kind
that impels one to offer himself and
his all, if necessary, that his country
may be victorious in the great con-
flict
Most of us can not go into the
fighting forces; most of us can not
enter into those industries directly
connected with the war, but all of us
can show our neighbors that we have
the right brand of patriotism.
Our government is urging upon us
the necessity of saving as an essen.
tial to victory. We are told that
there is not enough man power and
not sufficient materials in the coun-
try to win a quick victory if we con-
tinue to use this man power and
these materials as we did before the
war. 1t is pointed out that here are
now more than 100000 men in the
Army and Navy, and that by August
/ this number will be increased to
100000, with a steady addition to
that number from then on. These
men not only cease to be producers
but they become consumers on a vast
scale.
Thus it is that we are urged tC
buy only those things which we need
in order that we shall not use uI
labor and waste materials and trans
portation, so vitality necessary to the
Government in it's war work and sc
hmuch needed in the manufacture Of
things essential to the health an(
efficiency of our citizens.
By following the Government
request to produce to our maximum
capacity and to consume as little al
possible, we shall give practical ev
preston to our loyalty-a militan
loyalty, the brand which stamps ii
as being willing to do our part a
home by sacrificing, by gettins
down to a war basis, by backing VI
our Government with all ou
strength With our money savings
we can then buy War Savings
-, Stamps and perform a double service
by giving the Government curren
funds with which to buy the labo
and materials so much needed To-
war purposes which we have re
Trained from using. That is loyalty

tainly we can do our part at home
without grumbling. And that part
consists in producing all possible,
consuming as little as necessary, and
buying War Savings Stamps with
our savings.

The announcement that the allied rep.
resentatives at Versailles have agreed
upon terms OF armistice which Germany
must accept is believed to convey the i'm
preston that Germany is ready to ac-
cept whatever terms are offered. If this
Is SO, the end of the world war is in
sight
Secretary Lansing gave out the news
OF the agreement in the following bulletin
last evening:
According to an official report re-
celved this evening the terms of the
armistice to be offered to Germany have
just been agreed to unanimously and
signed by the representatives of the allies
and the United States in Paris. The re-
port further states that diplomatic unity
has been completely achieved under con-
ditlons of utmost harmony"
Official Washington has known for
some days that the utter collapse of the
central powers was inevitable. The din
lomatic notes from Austria and Ger
many, it was felt, were sure indication
of the breakdown of the Hohenzollerns
and Hapsburgs.
The stringent character of the armi
stice terms for Austria Hungary. as
made public yesterday, gave an early i'm
preston of the Teuton collapse. These
showed that the dual monarchy's surren
der was complete.
With Austria Hungary out of the con-
fict, Germany was left alone to fight it
out. Germany's internal situation, ac-
cordlng to intimate advices, is known to
be critical. That Germany could attempt
to prolong the war after her allies aban-
doned her appeared to officials as un-
thinkable.
In Washington unstinted credit is
given to President Wilson for having
played wonderfully skillful diplomatic
hand in his dealings with the central
powers. Even if Germany does not with
draw from the conflict, it is felt here that
she will soon be in desperate straits and
cannot long go on with the war
The withdrawal of Austria means, to
the official mind in Washington, the rapid
disintegration of the German military
forces.
Germany, it is believed, has virtually
exhausted her military powers. Intimate
advices to Washington show that Ger
many faces an economic crisis, aside
from her military breakdown, that will
prevent her carrying on the struggle
many months.

joined letter These prices may be
varied from time TO time, and additions
will be made TO the list of articles emu

these prices at any store in Brattleboro

are sold is asked to report the name of

no discrimination Mr.. Vanderveer's let

To the Brattleboro Public
The prices given are Brattleboro
cash and carry" meaning that you go
or send to the store, pay for the goods
purchased and take them with YOU. If
you do not pay cash the dealer is author
lied to make an additional charge for
opening or carrying an account for YOU
If you ask to have the goods delivered
you must expect to pay delivery charge
in addition to the price asked for the
goods you purchase.
With the present scarcity of help and
the need of the government for every
available man or woman, ii would be ex-
tremely unpatriotic for any person TO
ask delivery on articles which can be
easily carried from the stores.
Heretofore there has been one price for
all. The person who carried an account
for month or more could purchase goods
for the same price as the person who paid
cash This method is all wrong. The
dealer who pays cash to the wholesaler
receives a discount. The retail buyer
should also be allowed some concession
for cash, and by making these "cash and
carry prices the dealer is passing along
his discount TO the consumer
