The Belief Is Growing That
President Will Make
Vets Happy
WILL LET DOWN BARS
1t is Exceedingly Improbable That
Anything Will be Done
Before July 1st

WASHINGTON, June 27-There
is a strong undercurrent of opinion
in Washington that President Wilson
intends to call halt to wal time pro-
,hibition. - IA. sa 4.
This feeling is particularly appar-
ent among certain members Of the
administration, although they admit
frankly that they have had no recent
word from Mr.. Wilson on the subject.
In Congress there is hope among
the vets, but far less optimism, that
action is forthcoming to suspend the
measure designed to set the country
dry in five more days.
1t is deemed exceedingly improb-
able, though, that anything will be
done before July 1, the date fixed for
the operation of the law. Such ac-
ton as is taken, according to the
opinion of administration followers,
will be deferred until Mr.. Wilson re-
turns to the United States and has
had an opportunity to obtain legal
opinion on the question.
Mr.. Wilson is expected to leave
France on Saturday That would
put him in Washington in aboSt. ten
days, perhaps July or 8. If he We're
to take up the question Immediately
after his arrival some time would
elapse before he could decide on a
course to follow.
Up to this time Mr.. Wilson has not
asked for an opinion from A. Mitchell
Palmer, attorney general, as to
whether he has the authority to set
aside the law under the circum-
stances, which are that the measure
was enacted last autumn as a wartime
conservation law, the need for which
no longer exists. In May, in a
message delivered at the opening of
the extraordinary session Of Congress
Mr.. Wilson asked the Senate and
House to repeal the law on this
ground, in so far as it referred to
beer and light wines, adding that he
had been advised that he did not pos
sess the authority to take the action
himself. Since then, however, the
situation has changed

Finds Family of Skunks

1t isn't every day that litter of
skunks is found in the center of Bel
lows Falls, SO the discovery is worthy
of special mention. A. G. Rice was
pulling down an old barn in the rear
of his home preparatory to putting
up a new one. Under the floor were
five cute little skunks about a week
old. They were kept during the day
and viewed and handled by numerous
admirers. At night barrel trap was
set for the mother and the young
skunks were placed in it. Soon af-
ter dusk Mr.. Rice saw the mother
hunting her offsprings. He was call
ed away for a short time and on his
return found that skunk and skunk
It's had all disappeared. The barrel
trap had been sprung but the barrel
instead of remaining on its end, had
fallen on its side and escape for the
whole family was easy.

At 25 years of age the boy who had
remained in school until 1s had re-
ceived over $4,000 more salary than
the boy who left 1t IA, and was then
receiving over $500 year more.
This is equivalent to an invest
ment of $4,000 at per cent. Can a
boy increase his capital as fast any
other way?
From this time on the salary of
the better educated boy will rise still
more rapidly, while the earnings of
the boy who left school at IA will in-

Although the wages paid now are
much higher than when this study
was made, the comparison remains
