LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Goddard's Status in Interscholastic Meet

Editor, Barre Times: The article print
ed in yesterdays issue from Brattle-
boro paper in regard to the interseholas-
tic track meet is as far from the truth
as black is from white. Goddard has
competed in this meet five times and
has won four times. The cup is to be
held permanently by the team that wins
it three times in succession. Goddard
won in 1915 and 1915 The next two
years the meet was not held, This year
was informed by DR.. Burns, chairman
Of the athletic committee at the Univer-
sity of Vermont, that the high schools
had notified him that they would not
send team to the meet this year If
Goddard was going TO be represented.
They claimed that Goddard was out of
their class.
He also told me that Goddard had a
fine standing at the university, that he
would give us track meet on another
day with the winner of the class meet in
the university, and that we should keep
the cup which we now held until it was
won from us by some other team.
Goddard has always observed the reg
ulations of every meet in which she has
participated She did not refuse TO abide
by the regulations of the meet this year,
and she was told to keep the cup. The

BOARDS OF TRADE AND THE FARM
INDUSTRY.

The newly organized Board of Trade
in the town of Chelsea proposes to de.
vote some of its energies to the develop
ment of the farm interests of its sur
rounding territory, and the purpose is
very well chosen inasmuch as Chelsea is
largely dependent upon the agricultural
life Of its own town and of the sur
rounding towns. 1t is to be hoped that
such an impetus may be given to farm
interests that the effects may spread out
not only over Chelsea but over some of
Chelsea's neighboring towns, like Cor
NTH, Topsham and some parts of Orange.
There is great need of new invigoration
IN the farming sections of those towns,
and if the influence of the Chelsea Board
Of Trade becomes powerful enough to be
effective in those communities, as well
as in its own, the results will be well
worth the effort put into the organiza-
tion. 1t would be splendid thing to
have the farms, now abandoned, occu.
pied once more and brought back to a
state of good productivity. Chelsea, let
it be added, would be material gamer
through the added business that would
flow through its channels Of business.

representatives late Wednesday
afternoon by a substantial margin,
and went Immediately to the senate
for action. A number Of amendments
were adopted during the days de-
bate, none, however, being regarded
as crippling the bill.
The most important of these was
presented by Representative Edison,
of Buena Vista county, and provided
for the submission of whether or not
funds should be devoted to perma-
nent road improvements under the
provisions of the act to a vote OF the
people, upon filing Of a referendum
petition. This was adopted 81 to 40.
The closest fight came upon an
amendment by Anderson, of Winnie

Auto Licenses i'm California.

In California every automobile
owner has a permanent license and
permanent number. slnstead of ex-
pensive new plates the state issues
annually small seals to be attached
to the old plates to indicate that the
owner of the car has paid his cur
rent license fee. Duplicate identi-
fication sheets giving detailed infor-
nation about the car and the name
and address of the owner, one or
which is attached to the car itself
are issued with each new license. If
a man wishes to sell his car, he must
return the Identification sheet to the
license bureau, which notes the
transaction officially; otherwise the
bureau will not grant a license to
the buyer. If man selling car
wishes to buy one, he must take his
license plate with him and get new
Identification sheet. The system is
especially successful in preventing
theft.-Youth's Companion.

BUY BONDS To

Prosperity of Country Depends on
Outcome of Loan Campaign
BANKS CANNOT
SHOULDER BURDEN
Would Tie Up Too Much Money
Needed by Industry i'm Recon-
structiOn Work

AT Liberty Loan headquarters of
the Seventh Federal Reserve district
in Chicago, the stage is being set for
the Victory Loan campaign which is
scheduled to start April 21 and to
end May TO- The purpose of this
loan is two-fold: to pay indebted
ness incurred by the United States
in stopping the world war and to
raise money to pay the men in SER
vice and to bring them home.
1t is essential that this be "peo-
pies loan" The man of business
knows that persons of wealth, banks
or corporations cannot be asked to
assume this Indebtedness. In order
to buy heavily of these securities,
the man of wealth would be obliged
to throw on the market other in
vestments, which would be disast-
Gus; banks must keep their lending
capacity available for short time
loans; and it is important that large
corporations have a large percent
age Of their funds liquid in order to
maintain fair wages to employees and
run their plants at the highest point
OF efficiency.
1t devolvs, therefore, on the indi-
vidual to assume this Indebtedness
of the United States. 1t must be as
much a matter of honor to him that
the United States pays its bills as
that he pays his personal obligations
His subscriptions to previous Liberty
Loans helped win the war, but the
debt is not paid in full yet. A full
and prompt subscription to the Vic
tJry loan will mean an easier money
market, lower rate Of taxation and
a reduction in the cost of living.
