Our hustling and successful towns
man, George C. Cary, will address
the meeting and outline his plans to
construct big maple sugar factory
that will give employment to 100
men and have the largest storage ca
pacity of any factory of its kind in
the United States Mr.. Cary began
to develop the maple sugar industry
here some 20 years ago and is desi-
rous of making st .Johnsbury the
maple sugar center of the world. In
fact, this town has reached that point
today through the growth of Mr.,
Cary's business and it goes without
saying that st. Johnsbury wants this

PRESIDENT SAYS
TREATY SAVES
SMALL NATIONS
Opens Countrywide Speak
ing Tour at Columbus
Scores Treaty Speakers

COLUMBUS, Sept. 4-President
Wilson opening his countrywide
speaking tour here declared his pur-
pose was "to report to my fellow
countrymen." He said it seemed in
crcasingly necessary he should make
such a report because he had read
many speeches about the treaty and
was unable to gather from them
much of what the treaty contained.
He declared the treaty tears away
chains of oppression and gives small
nationalties a right to live their own
lives.
Accompanying the President, in
addition to Mrs. Wilson, were Joseph
P. Tumulty, his secretary, and Rear
Admiral Cary 7. Grayson, his ply
sician. Nearly 80 newspaper cores
pondents also were aboard the train
in addition to the force of official
stenographers and secret service
men.
The trip, perhaps the most arduous
ever undertaken by President, Will
carry Mr.. Wilson and his party as
far west as the Pacific coast almost
to the Canadian border on the north
and almost to Mexico on the south.
He will speak in every state west OF
the Mississippi except four, and will
make up for the omission of these by
speeches in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky
and Tennessee.
In point of distance covered, the
tour will be almost on par with the
Presidents trip to France and return,
and the members of his party expect
it to be much more strenuous because
of it's continuity and the long, fast
rieds through the west.
Although the detailed schedule was
held in confidence in the interest of
safety to the presidential train, it is
understood that most of the stops
will be only for three or four hours
In Des Moines, Seattle, Los Angeles
and Louisville, however, where Sun
day stops are made, the President will
have opportunity for brief respites.
In Seattle he will review the Pacific
fleet.

COAL PRICES
ADVANCE ONLY
TEN CENTS A TON
Local Dealers Make the Gus
tomery Raise the First
of the Month

With the advance in coal from so
cents to rs cents ton in various
parts of New England some fears
were raised that local dealers would
follow suit, but the Caledonian is
pleased to announce that the st.
Johnsbury dealers will continue the
custom of advancing the price 10
cents ton the first of each month as
they have done in past seasons.
The September price of stove and
nut coal is $13 ton, delivered, and
the price of egg coal, $12.75, deliv-
cred. The local dealers feel that St.
Johnsbury has been used white in
the matter of selling coal and as far
as the profit of the retail dealer is
concerned they are only taking the
price fixed by the government. In
Burlington, where no 10 cent a
month advance was made since the
first of May, the dealers have jumped
the price rs cents a ton, claiming the
cost of doing business justifies this
increase. This is 25 cents more than
st. Johnsbury dealers are asking and
our local dealers have the same busi-
ness and transportation conditions
to contend with.
In this connection the Boston New
Bureau recently printed the fol-
lowing which undoubtedly expresses
the situation more picturcsquely:
The ]. H. Timm Company, coal
dealers, of Plymouth, Wis, undoubt-
edly is like many another coal man
these days-somewha unsettled. A
small card which this concern has
had printed reads:
IN SYMPATHY
We have been in this business for
a good many years. We have been
pleasing and displeasing the people
ever since.
We have been cussed and discuss
ed, boycotted, talked about, lied
about, lied to, hung up and rubbed
down.
The only reason we are staying in
business now is to see what the Hell
is going to happen next.

lYNDONVILLE
! MASONS HAVE
A FINE OUTING
Have Members of Anchor
Club of Boston as Their
Guests

Thirty-fve automobiles were COM
missioned Labor day for the excur-
sion of the members of Crescent
Lodge, F. & A. NJ, of Lyndonville
and they had as their guests num-
Der of the members of the Anchor
Club of Boston. The latter is an
organization of Masons who are con-
nected with the railroad.
The party made their first visit
Monday morning to the Vail Agri-
cultural school and later called on
Hon. Theo. N. Vail at The House at
Speedwell Farms. From there they
went to Burklyn Hall and gave Hon.
Elmer A. Darling a call.
A basket picnic was thoroughly en-
joyed at the cottage of W. C. Conner
the "Lion's Den"-at Willoughby
Lake. Following the dinner there
were sports and a social time. But
the fun did not END mere 1Of Ihe
whole party motored back to Lyndon
Center in time to see the ball game.
The ladies of Esther Chapter, O. E.
S., served supper in the Masonic
hall to 1876 Masons. At o'clock the
third degree was worked by Crescent
lodge and at the close of the work
luncheon was served. The Boston
Masons returned home on the night
train.
Worshipful Master George P.
Batchelder was chairman of the exc
cutive committee, with G. A. Jamie
son and w. C. Connor as his asso-
ciates. The reception committee con-
sisted of Charles l.. Stuart, w. H.
Parker and l.. H. Currier and the
transportation committee were COM
posed of H. M. Smith, B. G. Morri-
son and C. M. Darling. ...e
The trip proved one of the most
enjoyable ever taken by Lyndonville
Masons and the whole affair was a
great success from start to finish.

industry and wants to keep Mr..
Cary here, too, and his remarks to-
night will receive the most careful
attention of our business men.
Another proposed institution for
our town in the new State Normal
school. The State Board of Educa-
ton is looking over the state for a
suitable location for central
school, and the advantages of st.
Johnsbury as a railroad and educa-
tional center will be brought before
the board, provided some action is
taken at the meeting tonight.
The meeting deserves the attend
ance of every member of the Com
mrcial Club.

WOman's Club Picnic
Will be Held at Joe's Pond on
Friday

The picnic of the Woman's Club
which was planned for Thursday has
been postponed until Friday. The
uncertainty of the weather on We'd
nesday afternoon, and other uneN-
pected events, made it impossible for
many to make definite arrangements
about going today, so the committees
in charge decided to make definite
postponement jim hopes that more

NEW YORK, April 1O.-Who called
New York heartlesstown? Who said
Bankroll and front" were neces-
sary here? Let him consult some Mis-
souri, follower of that redoubtable
Missourian BLACK Jack" Pershing.
Let him ask a SHOW me" soldier
whether New York is heartless and
he will find that khaki is the only
front" required and that the word
Missouri is an open sesame to hos
pitality.
Enough of these soldiers are in and
near New York now to make possible
a dependable answer. They are tran
sient, for the most part, and some
times the number runs as high as one
thousand. They are at Camp Mills,
Camp Merritt and scattered through
a dozen hospitals, recuperating. They
are so numerous that the committee
in charge has its hands full looking
after them and is preparing to en-
large its activities vastly before the
main body of Missourians gets here
early in May. The date has not yet
been set for the arrival of the 35th
and S9th Divisions, but already some
are here from the 10th and 140th
Engineers, the 365th Infantry and 9TH
er detachments with which men from
the State saw service.
A large residence at q West 25th !
street has been donated to the New
York War Camp Community Service
for use during the return of the troops |
and is called the Hall of States. Mis-
souri, has desk there and as SOL |
diers reach the various hospitals their
names and addresses are sent to this
building. To the desk of each state is |
sent list of the soldiers in hospital |
from that state and a member of the l
