The N. P. Wheeler Hotel Corporation.

That White River Junction is one of
the wideawake towns of the state is
evident from the many real estate
changes which have taken place in the
last few weeks, and one of the largest
deals which has been pulled off thus far
is the sale of the Junction house prop
erty and changing it from n partner
ship to a corporation. The change was
made last Friday, when there was
formed an organization to be known as
the n. p Wheeler Hotel corporation,
capitalized at Sl50000. In 1895 L. A..
Gibbs and n. p Wheeler went into
partnership in the livery business in
their present location. In 1901 they
took over the ownership Of the Junction
house property and for the past Is
years have carried on this business and
are known to the travelling public from
Maine to California. Mr. Wheeler is to
dispose of the automobile garage and
the livery stable to Waterman & Will
mot, who will leave their present loca
ton ON Bridge street and move their
stock to their new location c. t. Ed
mands has bought out Mr.. Wheeler's
interest in the barber shop and win CON
duct it from now on as the Edmands'
barber shop. The people of the com.
munity and the many patrons who
have known Mr.. Gibbs wish for him in
his retirement the rest which may
come to him after these many years Of
close application to these large business
interests, and that the new corporation,
under the efficient management of Mr..
Wheeler, will continue to be the up-t
date hosiery that it has been in the
past.

Of all things earth the cheapest is human life.
This is true not alone of the time of war; when lives
given without number, but it is true well in times Of
peace
How many lives do you think were wasted before the
railroads made at little expense to make the coupling
of cars less dangerous?
What do you think has been the death toll of child
labor the only for which the little saving that
the manufacturer made when he substituted childhood for
the developed worker?
How many people in this country do you think
daring death every day in frerap worooms because the
will not go to the expense Of making them safe?
1t is true that of all things human life is the cheapest
Mrs Arthur Scott Burden chairman of the Maternity
Center Association of New York in splendidy written
article in Hapers Bazaar for August calls attention to the
fact that among the cheapest of lives those of the newly
born baby and its mother.
The work of the association of which she is the head
directed to reducing this waste of life by providing mater

properly cared for.
During the one year that this country was in the war
the birth went down and the infant death up
During the four years that Belgium in the war; its
birth rate went up and its infant mortality rate less
ened.
The reason assigned for this record that in Belgium
there hundred maternity where mothers
go and be assured that the best and attention will
be given to them and their babies
This country peculiarly negligent of both the young
mother and the old mother.
For it provides totally insufficient number of hos
pitas and for her whose gray hair and wnked face
the badges of her service offers nothing better than the
poorhouse and the pauper's grave.
Other countries generous to both classes The fed
era government of Australia pays every year more than
three million dollars to mothers maternity allowances
That three per of the consolidated of the
government
France devotes the same great cause million dollars
Of national funds to which added another million from
local governments
Under the abnormal conditions of the war Germany
appropriated $4,000 month for the of the mothers
and their little ones.
The work which Mrs Burden and her associates are
undertaking in New York and which she describes in her
article in Harpers Bazaar will go far in decreasing the
death rate among those wageeanng mothers who except

Who really fought the daylight saving law?
Who paid the bills for the active and insstent lobby

Secretary Ferguson of the Daylight Saving Association
says that his organization cannot these questions
Certainly it not the farmers. There have been

The National Grange represented at the Congress

Longs To Make Friends.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
! am a girl of sixteen years and
work as a bookkeeper for a small
concern. l have not any friends,
although l come in contact with
many boys and girls, with whom l
cannot make friends because some
one of the crowd is bound to make
some remark about that girl being
pretty or that girl being homely
and as l am not pretty il makes
me think they are trying 10 mane
me see they don't care TO speak to
me because / am not as pretty as
some Of them. The people who
know me consider me clever and d
girl OF good character. My cloth

old school-mate of mine, whom "a"
is prejudiced against and often tells
me to give up. When l ask him for
a reason he simply replies that he
does not like her ways; but she is
a true friend and her ways have at
all times been suitable to me.
"B" understands that "a" does
not care for her and when they
meet l feel very much hurt because
they never agree. Last week when
we met at a dance "A" passed some
remark about b. and an argument
followed. Since then the former
told me that although he loves me
dearly he will not call on me again
unless 1 break friendship with "B."
Do you think 1 ought to give up
'B?" l miss "A" very much.
This young man has no right
whatever to ask you to give up a
friend because of his within. And
to throw aside an unoffending
girl friend at a mans dictation is
an action l am sure you will not
be guilty of. Even "B" could not
respect you if you did. Hold fast
to your present attitude and
think he will after a while
acknowledge the justice of it.

A Love-SmItten Actress.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Alas. must turn to you, the Zig
sister of all true lovers"
L am an actress, twenty-four
years old. on the road to fame and
success. 1 love an artist seven
years MY senior. We are both
graduates of the same college. We
have known each other for about
five years. But it is only now that
1 realize my love.
He also loves me. He hasn't told
me, but / ann sure he does. There
is a certain instinct within a
woman.
Why doesn't he ask me to marry
him? Can it be because he is lame
and poor, because he hasn't made a
success of his career as yet?
But if he does love me 1 am sure
he wouldn't consider these things,
they are so small, compared to love-
Please answer me, comfort me a
little. l am an orphan and have no
one TO turn to but you.
AN ACTRESS.
If you are sure that this man
loves you, and suspect that he
refrains from saying so because of
your greater success, why not
frankly ask him whether this isn't
the case? This is an instance
when l should think the conven-
tional procedure might be re-
versed. If you do this, be sin
cere and direct, and expect of the
men that he be no less so, whether
he loves you or not.

not become engaged to two girls

Wants To Be a Sister.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
At a party recently 1 found my
self picked out by a very nice boy.
In fact, the incest of the whole
crowd. After that we were invited
to one of the girls houses, and he
took me home. Now, I have gone
out with him a few times since then.
a week has not passed that I have
not seen him. have never been out
with him alone, because my mother
will not let me go. Now. do you
think il would really hurt il 1 went
out with this boy once in a while
say, once a week, or not so often?
Mother thinks he might learn to
Iike-lOve-me. and I might do the
same. You see, it is possible. be-
cause he certainly is a lovely fellow.
This boy friend of mine does not
know anything about my perplexity.
Should | tell him l would love him
to be to me as a brother would be.
Could | ask or tell him so without
showing him | do not want him to
love me too much? l know he
likes me. the girls say a great deal,
but | am not so sure of that You
see. nc never talks about such
things. as we are both interested in
athletics. There is nothing to make
me feel that our feelings will ever
run away with US. 1 would love
him for a dear friend or a make
believe brother Most of the other
boys are too full of fun, too loud
at times, though, they are all nice
boys.
Please advise me what to do. I
could not bear to disobey my mother
or father. | love them too much
and they are too good to me. But
will be able to spend a very pleas
ant evening every once in awhile if
go out with that boy. r. IS.
Your attitude toward this boy
friend is interesting, but is it en-
tirely safe? Isn't it playing with
fire? And then it's not precisely
a case for an outsiders advice, for
since you are living at home, you
will have to accept your mothers
decision. And l don't doubt she
is a wise mother.
