BARTON VERMONT, WEDNESDAY, MAY 21 1919
Turn Your Junk into Savings Stamps

The following extract from a letter
to Isadore Sockol of Barton, from
Mrs. Dan c. Jones, state manager of
War Savings Stamp campaign is self
explanatory, and asks people to ac-
cept savings stamps for their junk.
1.-THE United States government
desires the cooperation of all junk
dealers in the campaign for War Saw
ings Stamps.
1--WE are asking all Junk Dealers to
pay for junk in Thrift Stamps, and
we furnish an oilcloth sign for each
cart that reads, "I Give Thrift
Stamps for Junk" We also furnish
a window card, with the word "Sal-
vage," in large letters, for every
housewife to place in her window
when she has junk to sell. By this
method, all that is required of the
junk man is to put the sign on the
cart and collect from the houses
where the signs are seen.
America has been buying hundreds
of tons of salvage from England
when there are hundreds of tons 90
ing to waste here in this country. The
government wants your help in this
work, and is willing to help your
trade by doing the advertising fol
you.
viii you not get your junkmen to-
gether in your town and present this
proposition to them?
II you will cooperate with US, kind.
ly let me know and / will send as
many signs for the wagons as you
Will need and place a Salvage" win.
dow card in each house in your town.
Mr.. Sockol has arranged to carry
out the suggestions in the letter.

The new developme mt at Will

cradle business to Barton. w. E.
Hanson began delivering lumber to
the contractors Monday morning, and
Will run his sawmill day and night in
order to cut and deliver the lumber.
-Four teams started hauling Monday
and others will be added, the amount
called for being between zoe, 900 and
100000 feet. John Millar will have
charge of the cement work and has
been hiring many men for the Job.
The Barton Savings Bank will be
bankers for the contracting concern
and many men have hired to work
on the job in different capacities.
This does not by any means rehearse
the business Barton will receive from
the project as it is at least two miles
nearer the site of the camp than any
other railroad center by fully two
miles. With better road between here
and the camp much more business
would be had and much greater and
lasting benefit be received from the
camp after its esta blishment.

PEACE BRINGS REIGN
or ExTRAVAGANCE
IN ENGLAND
$4,000 AND $4,000 BEING PAID
FOR SECONDHAND
AUTOS.

LONDON, July 21.-England's
newly rich, the persons who have
accumulated millions during the
war and since, are buying at any
price demanded furniture from some
of the ancient houses of the country,
Jewels from some of the looted pal
aces of Russia, and other continental
countries, and paintings from any
where if they bear the mark of
time.
There is no lack of jewels for
those who have the price and are
willing to pay. Many beautiful pieces
of jewelry, the history of which is
not given by the dealer, but which
experts say could only come from
the wealthiest families of Russia,
are finding their way into the mar
ket. Enormous prices are being
asked and promptly paid, while the
cost of ordinary stones, diamonds
for instance, has risen to unheard
of heights. Many old English fami-
lies also are selling off their jewels.
Flowers and food for the elabor-
ate entertainments which are be-
sginning to mark the appearance of
the newly rich are commanding
fancy prices such as $25 for an
orchid and $3.50 for a peach.
Automobiles are very scarce and
expensive in Britain. Some of them
command as much as $4,000 to
SIS 1000, and they are models of
three and four years ago, while new
machines are almost unobtainable.
The maker of the most famous Eng
lish car turns out only about 500
each year. and it is said he has al
this year and next.
This extravaganza is attracting
wide attention from newspapers and
public men. Peace has brought an
orgy Of spending says one writer,
(which high prices do nothing to
check. The higher the price the
easier it is for those who have
money to draw the big lines of de-
narration. between themselves and
the crowd"

SHEVIKS

PARIS. July 19.-The supreme
council of the peace conference dis
cussed the disposition of 24O, 600
Russian prisoners held in Germany
and referred the matter to the mill
tary advisors for a report. The
prisoners were held in Germany
after the armistice at the request
of the allies who have been feeding
them. Many are infected with Boil
shevism.
Poland and other countries
through which they would go en-
route to Russia have objected to
giving them passage for fear of
Bolshevik propaganda.
1t is held also that if they were
sent home they would be killed or
'oxced into the Bolshevik army.
The expense of maintaining them
in Germany is becoming burden
