Germany's % Enemy Nations.
Haiti is the 22nd nation to declare
war upon Germany. Of course, the
Huns believed that they could defeat
the whole world when they made the
announcement to that effect, but it is
not proving as easy as they thought
it would. In fact some of the leaders
they cannot achieve victory. Grad
ually it will be impressed upon them
that they have been utterly defeated.
The splendid showing made by the
American soldiers has made that GER

A Changed Sunday.
"Sunday will never again be what
! it used to be-" remarked well-in-
formed Bellows Falls lady the other
day. She had in mind the great
change in public sentiment regarding
working on Sunday. Almost every
kind of work is now pushed on Sun
day as war necessity and the lady
meant that after the war was over
the war idea of Sunday would still
cling and Sunday would never again
be the Sabbath it was before the war
Perhaps this lady is right. Perhaps
the old New England conception Of
the Sabbath is passing, never to re-
turn, but it will not pass without a
tive born, and perhaps the loudest
sigh will come from those who chafed
the most under it's restriction during
youth.-Bellows Falls Times.

leans, seems to be a reflection of the
desperate state of mind of the Ger
mans at the present time. There is
no longer the confident boasting of
subjugation Of the world, only as it is
given out by some pin headed junker
still welded to his military idols; on
the contrary, we find a note of doubt
entering into the statements made by
the men who come into allies hands,
although there is still reckless
threat of turning the world upside
down before submitting to the victor.
Since the strength of the United
States has been felt on the battle line
in western Europe there has been a
new sentiment among the German
soldiery, those who represent the
common people of that land in con-
trast to the officer caste, the vons,
etc. The morale of part of the Ger

Join the Trade-a Home Club.
New York, Chicago and Boston, to
say nothing of other places, no doubt
have department stores that carry
larger stocks than your local mer-
chant can possibly carry. But don't
you think you can get through your
local merchant most anything they do
not happen to have? The only way
to build up a town is to turn in and
help support it. If local merchants
are encouraged in this a little they
will respond. 1t will give them a
heart to increase their stocks. Send
ing money out of town is a poor way
to build it up. Take the next grocery
order you are sending to Boston and
give it to the local grocer, and see if
he will not give you just as good and
on the final analysis you will be just
as well off. That suit of clothes, or
the women's ready-to-wear you see in
some nicely printed catalog, should
not tempt you to go to Chicago for it.
We believe there is not a merchant
in town, who will not gladly help out
a customer to get just what they are
after if they do not happen to have
the article desired. Lack of coopera-
ton in any town will put it on the
blink. 1t is hard enough doing bust
ness now with business conditions as
they are. The local merchant should
do his part, too. We think they will
if this crowd who are continually
studying a catalogue will quit and

Darling is Impossible.
Hon. Charles H. Darling of Bur-
lington is an impossible candidate
for governor of Vermont His COR
safe candidate. His entire life has
been closely interviewer with that of
corporate interests. He does not rep
resent the live progressive interests
OF today. He has no true aspect of
the interests of the people at large.
His entire prospective Of public af-
fairs is narrow and in no wise is he
| regarded as a representative of the
people.
At heart he may be kind to his per-
sonal friends, his personal character
is above reproach, he understands law
he is man of fine literary mind, but
as governor-impossible
Hon Charles H. Darling is the per-
manent counsel of the Burlington
Light and Power Company, a corpor-
alton, whose stock holders are large
ly Philadelphia people. He is actual
ly part of the company lat least
one of the employees. He believes in
the concern that pays him money. He
does things for their interests. That
is his business. There is no crime in
working for corporation but one
cannot serve two masters and serve
both faithfully.
