The Roman Way

There is nothing new under the
sun and now it appears that the IL. G.
l.. was the burning issue in Rome IN
the third century. The conditions
became so unbearablc that the EN-
peror Diocletian chisclcd in tablets OF
stone his famous cdict that establish
ed maximum price at which 1,OOO
commodities could be sold and then
fixed the price of labor. That was
paternalism run mad and the natural
result followed in business depres-
sion, higher prices, bloodshed and
finally cancelling of the edict that
the country might get settled and in
dustry and trade build itself up again
on normal lines.
The American people are getting
sick of government regulation and
price fixing and we quite agree with
Senator Page that we don't need any
more of it. The law Of supply and
demand has been in vogue since the
dawn of civilization and if this gov
crnment continues in the Roman way
we shall have as result the same
calamities that befel the city on the
Tiber.

Buys Nine Circus Tents
Paul w. Gilman Gets Great TRADE
at Sheriff's Sale

Sheriff M. G. Garfield only had one
bid for his auction Of circus tents
at the Playground and the aggrega
ton was bid off to Paul w. Gilman
for s13O. This included a big ten'
with seating capacity of l,5oo WITT
as many seats, four carbide lights
and eight small tents. At the pres
ent price of canvas it would cos'
nearly $4,000 to duplicate the prop
crty today, so Mr.. Gilman is quito
satisfied with his trade. He is asso
ciated in his venture with Joseph II
Moore and the two will rent the tents
at the coming fair, using the big ter
for livestock and the smaller tents
on the midway. The tents are no"
stored in. the Gilman Brothers barr
at the Playground.
The tents were formerly owned by
the Coop & Lent circus which cxhl'
bited here August 2. When the show
came here attachments amounting tt
$4,000 were placed on the property
bya Lancaster law firm and SealleS
G. Graves of this place. These were
brought in the interests of Carrie A
Bennett of Conway, N. H., who
claimed she received internal inju-
res when the tent fell on her during
the performance. They promised Mr.
Garfield at the time they left st
Johnsbury that they would turn ovel
their gate receipts until the claim
was paid and Mr.. Garfield's son
Stanley, accompanied them on then
tour of the state to protect his eli
cnt's interests. Business was poor at
Hardwick and the show collapsed at
Morisville. Stanley Garfield shipped
the tents to st. Johnsbury and they
were auctioned off to their new own
ers as above related.

St. Johnsbury Trains Them
(Rutland Herald)

The war has shown the absolute
necessity for more mechanics and ex-
perts in the different crafts. Today,
with the country facing the most ur-
gent problems, the need for me-
chanics and craftsmen is acute, and
trained men are commanding wages
which make professional men green
with envy.
Vermont has Made a good start to-
ward practical training for and di-
rcction toward the liberal crafts, but
in every state thousands of dollars
are spent in training men and women
for ovcrcrowded professions, while
while the trades are woefully under
manned.
Let us begin directing our boys
and girls more and more definitely
toward technical training; that is
where the real demand lies today.

Help for the Farmer and Consumer
(Randolph Harold and News)
A practical step to improve the lot
Of the farmer, to bridge the gap be-
tween the producer and the consumer
and to bring down the cost of living
to Il reasonable level is announced.
1t contemplates scheme long cher
ished by this paper of providing an
agency backed by men of large
means and business experience, for
encouraging farm production and for
handling and marketing the agricul-
tural output of New England so as
best to serve both the man who
grows and the man who eats. That
there has been a wOeful lack in this
essential and that the producer and
consumers have suffered alike in con-
sequence we have no question what
ever. This newly formed organiza-
ton, known as the New England
Farm and Food Foundation, whose
officers and trustees include the best
known and most successful business
men of New England, gives bright
promise of something really tangible
far more so than presidential mes
sages, acts of congress or presecu-
tions at law-for relief.

record of some years ago when $50
pupils were registered.
The trustees of the Academy at

were directed by Principal Joseph A.
Davis. Judge Wendell +. Stafford of
Washington, ID. c.. a former Acad-
emy pupil, addressed the students.
He contrastcd the school conditions
Of Shakespeare with those of the
present uay. He spoke of what might
happen to education if school pupils
took the same action regarding edu-
cation that some of the railroad men
now take in regard to labor.
The new teachers who appeared
today were: Miss Violet White, Eng
lish teacher; Leroy Peabody, mathe-
matics; Donald Steadman, history;
Clara Bushman, stenography and
typewriting; Rachael Vaubhan, do
mestic sVts; Mrs. Jean Stanley Good
rich, piano for private instruction
