CELEBRATED SIGNING
OF ARMISTICE.
Whistles Blow, Bells Ring, Cannon
Fired on the Joyous Tidings of
Peace-One Man Injured.

From sea to sea the people went
wild with the glad news that the
war had closed.
Vermont went wild over the sign
ing of the armistice, and the larger
towns spent the day in joyous Gel
ebration with parades, floots and
patriotic addresses.
While Brighton's celebration was
rather tame compared with most
towns, the spirit of gladness pre-
vailed. The High School boys
paraded the streets with miscellan-
eous noise making ginstruments, char
acterized as Brighton Brass
Band", automobiles and wagons
paraded in the evening with red
lights and the old cannon was
brought to light and sent the mes
sage reverberating DER the hills. In
the wild enthusiasm Jack O'Brien,
who was actingas powder boy, came
near "going vest. He was carry
ing nine pounds of powder, held by
his left arm and hand when in
some unexplaneable manner, it ex-
ploded burning his hand and arm
and filling his face with powder,
blowing him several feet off terra
firma. Fotunatly he escaped with
OulV minor Injuries but thew are of
so severe a nature as to keep him on
the injured list for many days.
Joy was carried to all homes and
found expressions in many novel
forms. One mother with her
thoughts centered on a boy lover
there" found expression of her joy
in saturating a good broom with
kerosene and setting it a fire.
The ruin of Y. NJ. C. A. destroy
ed by fire is being removed.

THE VERMONT
PATROL COMMITTEE.
Gives Opportunity for All to Ex-
anime Plans-Non-Partis and
Working For a Better Ver",ont.

Residents of every section of Yer
mont are to be given an opportunity
to examine in detail the plans of the
Patrol Committee, which was re-
Gently organized at Manchester.
Seven of the larger places of the
state have carefully examined the
plans and pledge cards in detail, at
conferences of officers of the Boards
of Trade and other prominent citi-
zens. In each case they have indl-
Gated approval of the campaign.
The Patrol Comittee is not cam
paigning in the interest Of any party
or clique nor is it favoring any can
didate for office. j. B. Wilbur Of
Manchester, Chairman of the Patrol
Committee, is authoity for the state
ment that it is strictly non-partisan.
1t is pointed out that there is a
settled conviction in the minds Of
many men of Vermont that resi-
dents want good roads, business like
accounting Of funds in the hands Of
State officers, better school systems,
equitable taxation and development
of agricultural resources, especially
with reference to sheep.
The work of hte Patrol Commit
tee promises to be far reaching in
its Importance. 1t is said to be the
largest and most systematical cam
paign ever launched in Vermont.
In some respects it is "War Work"
and it is pointed out that if the re-
sidents of the rual sections want
good roads and other features in
volved in the platform of the Patrol
Committee that this will be the only
opportunity within two years to
bring before the legislature the
sentiments of the people of Ver-
mont, as ascertained through the
work of the Patrol Committee.
Headquarters have been opened in
the Court House at Manchester.
Judge Edward Griffith is secretary
of the Committee and Frank M.
Wilson, of Rutland, is treasurer. The
Patrol Committee will be made up
of six delegates from every centre in
the State which chooses to elect de-
legates and participate in the work.

REMARKABLE RECORD
FOR FAITHFULNESS
Miss Eliza Hyde of 8rattIe5ore Re-
signs From Treasury Depart
ment at Washington After 54
Years Service at the Age of 81
Years.

To a Brattleboro woman belongs
the distinction of making a record
for faithfulness in the Government
service. This fact became known
when Miss Eliza r, Hyde, for Sd
years an employe Of the Treasury
Department, resigned because, to
use her own words, she wanted "a
little more leisure during the re-
naming years Of her life" 1t was
when Secretary McAdoo accepted
the resignation in letter which re-
viewed Miss Hyde's service that her
extraordinary record became
known. In 54 years Miss Hyde had
never been tardy. In 54 years she
had never used day Of sick leave.
"Your duties have always been
discharged with exemplary care
and accuracy, and your fidelity and
punctuality are also worthy of the
highest commendation," wrote the
secretary, who added farther "a
long in his letter, "You have set an
example that is worthy of emula-
lation by ALL"
Miss Hyde was 33 years old
when she was appointed, December
22, 1864. She began her duties
when the Civil war was near its
close. She had served under IL
presidents of the United States.
She had seen Washington grow
from small city to great capital.
When she first began work under
Comptroller Of the Currency it was
such an innovation to employ a
woman that her appearance among
the clekrs caused sensation. , %.
Miss Hyde began her career, as
teacher in Vermont. From New
England she made the hazardous
Journey to st. Louis in 1860 to ac-
cept a position in a young ladies'
seminary, after she had taught for
sometime in Cambridge, Mass. Her
appointment to the Treasury was

Giving Uncle Sam a Hand

Friday, November Is, is going to
be red letter day in Mississippi in so
far as agricultural war work among
boys is concerned. The governor
of the State has issued a proclama-
tion declaring that day registration
day for the boys of Mississippi who
will be under 18 and not under 10
years of age on the 1st day of jan
uary, 1919," for enrolment for
the Eproduction of food and feed
and for the performance of other
necessary labor" in connection with
war activities. Gov. Bilbo has ap-
pealed to the teachers, county super
intendents of education, of the
county council of defense, the county
demonstration agents, and "all
other interested persons" to do their
full part in carrying out the pro-
posed plans for freeing the world of
the. menace of the Hun. There is
nothing obligatory about this
movement it is purely call for the
vigorous application of the energies
of the boys in Mississippi in service
that will be of inestimable value
both to the State and Nation. At
tractive posters and literature have
been widely distributed over the

COOPERATION IN PALESTINE
Three Thousand Jews Have Success.
fully Combined to Fight the
High Cost of Living.

It is therefore, with the keenest
pleasure that hear of the success Of
an experiment on a small scale un-
der war conditions in Palestine, Nor
man Hapgood writes in Leslie's. Since
1914 scarcity, disease, deprecated
currency, have combined to reduce the
Jewish workers almost to starvation.
During the war small group decided
to take the most immediate and effec-
tive step. About three years ago 450
workers formed a cooperative So
ciety in order to fight against the
rise in prices. Each worker contrib
uted 10 francs and with this capital
of $500 francs the society began to
make it's purchases. AS a result the
members of the society were able to
purchase four times cheaper than the
ordinary public. This cooperation So
ciety, "Mashbir," embraces at pres
ent about 5000 persons and has a
budget of $4,000 francs. Their first
year of business showed profit. Dur
ing the second year robbery and
plunder by the Turks changed this
profit into a loss. The third year has
now shown them again paying their
way. This society includes not only
workmen, but also teachers and clerks.
1t has applied to the commission for
a credit of 10000 francs and for au-
thOrizarion for one of their group to
travel to Egypt to make purchases.
1t is, indeed, on a small scale com
pared with the business 1 cited on
July 6, but the lesson is the same:
The strongest single answer to the
cost Of living lies in cooperation.

made after she had been called to
her Brattleboro home by the death
of her brother in the battle of
Vicksburg. She was assigned to
the Issue Division of the Com
troller of the Currency.
Despite the long routine of office
duties, Miss Hyde is not at all
weary of her tasks. She is in per-
feet health, with all her faculties
unimpaird. At 81 she is still able
to perform all the duties of her po-
sition, for, as told the secretary in
her letter of resignation, she never
found work irksome.

His compliment carries with it a touch of censure. We have learned in year and half how much we can do when we must. The fiction that Germany could do certain things better than any other nation is now exploded That Germany did so is indisputable, but that was because America didn't try. We must lay the blame on our lack of patience; we can't plead lack of aptitude.
 This is not a vainglorious fanfar- onade. Of all that enormous list of products for which we depended absolutely on Germany there is none that we are not now providing here at home-or it's substitute. We realized, when we had to. that Ger many's supremacy in chemistry was due to our disinclination to challenge it. During the last two years it be- came necessary to do what Ger many had been doing in the dye in dustry-and accordingly it was done So also with drugs. and now after a period of months. Americas chemi cal industry stands in the position which Germany's held entrenched against the world. Potash, salvarsan the photographic agents. all the coal tar products for which we looked to Germany as habitually as we look to China and Ceylon for tea, are now in Uncle Sam's backyard between the wood shed and the barn.
 The fire proof and acid proof glass of Jena. without which many chemi cal experiment is impossible, is as necessary today as formerly-but We do not send to Jena for it. Nor to Thuringia for the watch crystals

MAKING GOOD

Large employers of labor through out the country have announced that those who left their service to go to war did so with the assurance that their positions would be open on their return. They have declared that they are now ready to redeem their pledge.
 It is creditable that the employers have risen above frequent commer- cial practice in the matter of these promises. Business usage often countenances the neglect of an obli- gation until the party interested brings it obtrusively to the attention of the party liable. But in this coun- try We can rise to higher ideals when the inspiration is forthcoming. It is pity that our inspired moments cannot be made continuous.
 In this case the employers will probably get the thick end oex the deal. The returning workers will in nearly all cases be more valuable now than when they went away. They have healthier bodies, broader vis' ion, stiffened will power. greater self control and a sterner sense of responsibility.

RIGHT HERE IN THE YARD

Cheer up. Everybody's good at something.
 The Italian mind is creative. So is the French. Both France and Italy have done more for creative art than any other nation. Ancient Greece was artistic. but give 1t up when she gave up her individuality,
 The operative mind is always i'm aginative. Imagination invents. ltal- ian imagination made wireless teleg- raphy possible, and contradiction has not yet silenced the French claim that Daimer and Farman were the parents of the automobile and the aeroplane.
 The German is less creative but he is supremely painstaking and diligent He has that genius for classification that toilsomely elaborates another mans discovery and makes 1t service able.
 And what of the Tanks? A great European chemist has been kind enough to say that we are marvels at ieaping gaps.

But when one expects to rule the world and has to slink off in 12 automobiles be- longing to someone else, we'll say that that sounds like shaving off the heaven pointing whiskers.

Of war Americans doubted at first the tales OF murder
and rapine from Belgium the horrors committed against
