SIX Failures Reported From Caledonia
County

Burlington, Jan. 9-Bradstreet's
Vermont Office reports the broken

Retail merchants have taken larger

of clearance sales, which are quite
general, this being done with view

The cold weather OF the latter por-
ton OF the week has given an impetus
TO sale OF seasonable goods. That the
year 1913 has gone on record as
phenomenal in many respects in as
much as business was carried on
under war conditions, glance at the
business mortality statistics in this
state as compared with other states
shows smaller number of failures
than was reported in 1917. This was
true of every state in the New Eng
land states. There was, however, in
Vermont, IL per cent more money
involved III the failures in 1918 than
in the year preceding. This is ac-
counted for by reason of the failure
of one corporation which contributed
1926, 900 Of the total liabilities for
the year of $598,991.
| Out Of the total number occurring,
40 of them represent bulk of the
money involved. In order of amount
involved, eight represented liabilities
of $4,000 to $4,000. The other
! Two includes one first mentioned, and

LAWS OF THE AIR
No Passenger or Commercial Airplane
Service Until Traffic Can Be
Controlled

London, Dec. Is, Correspondence
of The Associated Pressl-Ihere will
be no passenger or commercial air
plane service from England to any
other country until complete plans
are formulated for regula ing and
controlling air traffic, says an Official
of the British Air Ministry. That vii
be task, he said, fraught with enor-
nous difficulties.
''To begin WITH" he pointed out,
"there are no laws of the ar at pre-
sent, and to bring the air i-lto the
commercial sphere without laws
would produce chaos. There would
be immediate trouble with the GUS
toms authorities of all nations. Ade-
quate legislation will have to be franz
ed to prevent contraband merchandise
being carried through the air from
one country to another.
ss"fhere will have to be a system
of air customs, and that in itself pre-
sents many problems. Then, again,
the unauthorized carrying of letters
would bring in the postal authorities.
sTo police the air presents other
difficulties. Try to imagine an Of

TRIBUTE TO
COL. ROOSEVELT
Judge StaFord's Memorial at the Bar
Meeting

Judge Wendell P. Stafford of the
Supreme Court Of the District of
Columbia preceded an address at the
annual meeting of the Vermont Bar
association in Montpelier Tuesday
with the following tribute to Theo-
dore Roosevelt:
A great man has gone. A mighty
force has ceased. A far-heard voice
is silent now forever. A great citi-
zen, a great patriot, great American
is dead. Who is there who does not
feel that he has lost brother? What
struggler against injustice does not
feel that he has lost a champion?
What friend of honest, free and man
ly action is not saddened by this
news? He who gave a new meaning
to the strenuous life, whose dynamic
energy found outlet in the great
causes and movements of civic life
and then in self-imposed and arduous
tasks unthcught o. by II

where, whose love of country amount
ed to a passion, yes, q religion, ano
whose bold and forward-looking spirit
made him the leader of great multi
tudes Of men who march toward bet
ter things, lies still in death. He who
never rested is now at rest. To him
at last,
"All winds are quiet as the sun,
All waters as the shore"
How can we realize that it is true?
And what time it was for one like
him to die! When more disturbino
questions than any he had ever met
were looming over the horizon! How
we shall miss that fearless, earnest
voice in the debates that are upon
Us! How we shall need his trenchant
criticism, and his high and brave ap-
peals! He has left phrases that viii
pass current like coin among the peo.
pie, as ChCate said those of Webster
did, for generations. If he did not
