GROCER VS.. STACKER.
What the Former Has to Stand from
the Latter.

This is fictitious, but not wholly
imaginary dialogue between a Brattle-
boro merchant and one Of his customers.
The merchant shall be known as A. l..
Grocer (the L stands for LovaD: the
customer is \. d. Stacker (the ID stands
for whatever you choose) The scene
is in the grocery store after the
/" $3.50 rule has gone into effect
Slacker-Send a quarter of a barrel
of pastry flour up to my house today.
!. Grocer-Can t do it under the new
rules, unless you buy an equal amount
Iof something else like corn meal or oat
meal or barley flour.
+. Slacker-I don t want those substi-
tutcs, 50 you needn t bother. I'll get
tiny flour somewhere else.
Grocer d be glad to sell it to you,
but | can't do it and obey the food
law, and neither can anyone else
Slacker-Well, l guess / II see about
it,
And he goes away.
Two days later he comes in again.
Slacker-Well, are you selling any
| flour today?
Grocer-Not unless | sell a substitute
with it.
| Slacker-I didn t have any trouble
getting all | wanted the other day with
out buying any substitutes.
/ .Grocer-Is that SO? Where did you
get it?
Slacker-Never mind where | got it
But you can bet l m not going to buy
any more of you.
And that IS what the Loyal Grocer
gets for trying to do his duty. Are
you going to help him or the other fel
low? Are you a Stacker? Now is tho
time to show it if you are.

RED CROSS ACTIVITIES.
Wood Gathered for Headquarters-
More Funds Are Needed

The Red Cross made ont well in col |
lecting wood last Saturday to heat the |
Headquarters Edward Sanderson was i
busy all dav with his team and quite |
q crowd Of boys and gathered a stick |
here and there. Over a cord was Sc
cured that was fitted for the stove and |
a considerable amount that the boys
arc going to work up. The team did
not make the full round of the village
as the day was not long enough
For the first time since the organiza
ton of the local branch OF the Red
Cross it is short of funds. Those IN
charge Of the finances have done SPLEEN
did work in supplying the funds, with
the loyal support of the townspeople
in general, of course. The thing that
finally depleted the treasury was an
order sent Monday for 80 pounds of
wooden yarns which now costs $3.50
a round, six dozen surgical shirts at
S. a dozen and six bolts of gauze at
@4.60 a bolt. This seems like large
order Of supplies, but there has already
been worked up locally 800 pounds OF
yam and eight dozen surgical shirts.
There are 1873 persons who are knitting
| industriously and regularly and there
are about 20 every week working on
gauze surgical dressings at the head
/ quarters.
There arc still a few people in town
who do not belong to the local Red
Cross. For their convenience member
ship stations have been placed at the
| postoilice and at Mann Is drug store.
The PIG donated by Mr. and Mrs. Sid
ney s. Strouse, which is being sold by
ticket, is proving to be pretty valua-
bic pig. A good many dollars have
been taken in already and the end is
not yet but viii be at the Valentine
card party, which win be held in For

when the animal will be awarded to
the holder Of the lucky number.
About S13 was realized on the Red
Cross dance Friday evening, to which
there waa to be added 81 which was
pledged by several young men who
have the right spirit. This was the
smallest sum tina, has been secured on
any of the dances 50 far The attend
ance probably was kept down in 4

and in some degree by counter attrae-

EXAMINER TRANSFERRED.
Mr.. GOODWIN Goes Back to Home State.
South Carolina.

MONTPELIER, Feb. 9.-Thomas J..
Goodwin, national bank examiner fer
the Vermont district, has been trans
ferred TO a district in South Carolina.
with headquarters in Columbia. which
is his home town Mr. Goodwin left
Wednesday night to take up his new
duties. Mr.. Goodwin. who succeeded
the late James II. KeIleher in this dis
trict, was well liked by the bankers
with whom he came into contact. and
he was generally recognized as being
a very competent examiner.
The appointment of a southerner to
what had hitherto been considered q
juicy political plum for Vermontars
created some CONSERVATION in the
state, especially among the Democrats.
The suggestion that the Office was no
longer considered political intended to
soften the wound did not do so al
though time and familiarity with Mr..
Goodwyn's good work has helped con
Aderably. The bank examiner has
avoided political cntaneIements" and
it Is doubtful if a dozen OF the party
leaders knew him even bv sight. Mr.
Goodwin has had as assistant in his
work Harold Ledden OF this city wbe
Is progressing steadily according to all
reports Mr., Goodwin s successor has
not yet been announced, the appoint
ment being made in Washington. II
IS expected that a transfer will be mad,
from another district, as under the new
bank system men are trained from tnt
bottom up as bank examiners and no
appointed at the top to work down
while politics and endorsements have ii,
| effect on the appointment whatsoever.
