The Caledonian-Record has receiv-
cd a copy of the bill increasing the
appropriation for the new govern
ment building which has been intro
duced into the Senate by Senator
Dillingham;. The bill was introduced
on Oct. %, read twice and referred
to the committee on public buildings
and grounds. The text of the bill is
as follows:
To increase the limit cost for the
construction of the United States
post office building at Saint Johns
bury, Vermont.
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress
assembled, That the limit of cost for
the construction of a United States
postoffice building at Saint Johns
bury, Vermont, authorized by section
A of the Public Buildings Act APP

thorization of the original appropria-
ton, and the Secretary of the Treas

bank, with half mile of frontage
reaching from Ira Colby's land near
the railroad track clear around the
point, and below the point to the land
recently bought of H. J. Johnson in
the first big dea lof $4,000.
MI. Pike is now negotiating with
Ira Colby for his long narrow strip
of land between the Manchester plot
and the railroad which would give
the purchasers a clear sweep of all
the plain land and river frontage cast
of the railroad.
1t is current report that Mrs. Van
Dyke has sold the business block in
McIndoes village and one of the
same Boston parties that are men
toned in the big deal. 1t is not be-
lieved that the recent and prospective
purchases have anything to do with
Henry Ford's new plant, but the lat
est rumor is that a big paper bag
and burlap factory will be erected in
the spring and that the Boston firm
is getting all the river front and
water privileges for that purpose.

GIRL SCOUTS
GIVE DRILLS
AT ARMORY
The Girl Scout Campaign is

The Girl Scout Campaign is in
full swing in St. Johnsbury today.
All da y long the girls have been
demonstrating at the Armory the
objects of this splendid organization
and tonight at $50 they will be en-
tertained at a banquet at the South
church.
This afternoon and evening the
Girl Scouts will be much in evidence
at the Please U Theatre where their
photo play, the Golden Eaglet, will
be given in addition to the regular
performance. A brief description of
Girl Scout work and ideals will also
be given in connection with the play.
The two meetings at the Armory
on Sunday evening at 7.30 and on
Monday evening at $50 promise to be
very interesting and entertaining. Ad-
mission is free to both these meet
ings and it is hoped that a large
number of st. Johnsbury people Will
avail themselves of the privilege of
seeing the local troupe of Girl
Scouts in action and learning the
objects of their work.
Briefly the Girl Scout organization
aims to make our girls healthy, hap
py, sane, practical, interesting and
useful. 1t also teaches the girls to
be fair-minded and patriotic, and it
lays the foundation for the kind of
KNOWLEDGE which we all want our
daughters to have as they are grow
ing up and which all husbands wish
their wives to have.
Everyone should attend at least
one of these meetings and learn more
about this great work.
This campaign is for membership
only at one dollar each 1t is not
a drive for funds. One dollar pays
for a membership for one girl for
one year. It's worth many times the
price.

Judge Moulton, sitting in Orleans
County Court at Newport last night
handed down a decision in favor of
Mrs. Ada Prime in her suit for di-

rill F. Prime, prominent physician Of
Barton, thus ending one of the most
sensational divorce trials in the an
nails of this court. Mrs. Prime was
granted separation on the grounds
of adultery. Judge Moulton has
taken the matter of alimony under

render his decision for several weeks.

Friday afternoons session Of the
State w. C. T. u. convention at
Grace Methodist church in St. Johns
bury opened with prayer by Mrs

gress of equal suffrage.
Mrs. Boole followed with an ear
nest appeal for more interest on the
part of women in citizenship, ex-
planning somewhat in detail a ques-
tionaire which she had prepared for
the women in New York state during
the campaign there.
At the jubilee hour the county Off
GERS reported how they had raised
their quota of $4,000 Each county
reported, Orleans leading with
$287.52.
Mrs. Boole then gave a spirited ad-
dress in which she urged the women
to get busy in completing this fund
and stated several unique methods
that had been successfully used in
other states.
Mrs. S. X. Huse, chairman of the
committee on resolutions, presented
these resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted:
Remembering the wonderful VIC
tories of the past year of the allied
armies in the conquering of the Ger
man and Austrian forces, in greater
victory of our nation in the ratifica-
ton of the prohibition amendment
and in the firm stand our u. S. Con-
gress has taken in providing for the
enforcement of the law, we humbly
reverently and with great gratitude
give thanks to our heavenly Father
for his guiding overuiling hand in
these affairs of men which carried
His people through the dark and try
ing years of struggle.
We earnestly pray that faith may
be increased, that effort be augment

vements be enlarged and that we
may be worthy our glorious call.

may realize that our help in every
project cometh from the Lord.
Resolved, That in view of the

PARIS, Oct. 25-Bulgaria's answer
to the peace terms is moderate in
tone and adheres upreservedly to the
clauses concerning the League of
Nations and labor. 1t accepts the
principle Of protection of minorities
in Bulgaria on condition that the
same measures are applied to other
Balkan states but the reply makes
reservations and protests regarding
reparations and the total sum de-
manded of Bulgaria. The impression
prevails that the terms are likely to
be greatly modified.

PRESIDENT ACTS TO AVERT COAL MINERS STRIKE
Does Advertising Pay?

today who Is III doubt as to The
drawing power Of daily news
paper advertising. This type of
man also believes that the Farm
Bureau is a fad of high-brow
agriculturists who would do
better to run their farms as they
did century ago; that sanitary
plumbing in the home is all non
sense and that an attractively
decorated store window is all
nonsense for Everybody knows
me and what | SELL"
To the scoffers of newspaper
advertising we would recommend
an interview with our two pro-
gressive motion picture house
managers, Mr.. Graves of the
Globe Theatre and MI. ellison of
the Please U.
We will cite the case of MI
Graves.
He booked Douglas Fnirbanks
in his latest release at an unusu-
ally heavy price. He also book
ed the picture for two days
something that is very unusual
for St. Johnsbury.
He outlined his advertising
campaign. The only change ne
made was to buy extra advertis-
ing space in the Caledonian-Re-
cord. He used his one "a sheet
poster, four three sheet posters,
two six-sheet posters and three
one-sheet posters. This is Just
the same as he uses for every
attraction, big and little. Thege-
fore, it can be seen that if he
secured results above the normal
run of any picture it must have
been his newspaper advertising.
And what were the results?
Wednesday night he seated 900
persons and at $40 p. m., was
compelled to close the ticket of
fee and refuse admission to
many late corners. Thursday
night he seated 600 more. In addi-
ton there were two good matinee
audiences.
Here's what Mr.. Graves says:
II attribute my great success
with this picture to the-.adver---
tising | did in the Evening Cal
edonian- Record. 1t was the only
medium that carried the real
message of the picture-that it
was a first release of the Big
Four and that it was an unusual
attraction. My sign boards, etc.
did not convey this message.
am Il firm believer in news
paper advertising and | believe
get the best of results from the
Caledonian-Record."
MIR. Graves spent no money in
window cards, so-called fiiers,,
highway signboards and the
many other ways of spending
money for advertising with very
doubtful results. He is an eX-
perienced Snowman and advcr-
tiser and is after results.
Mr.. Graves also had something
to SELL The Douglas Fairbanks
attraction was an unusually good
one. Our advertisers also have
something unusually good to sell
when they advertise. The
advertiser advertises because he
knows he has sometE ;;s-% that will
stand the test, if he didn't he
wouldn't dare to advertise.
Patronize the man who adver-
tises in your daily paper and you
will get full value for your
money.

WOUNDED men ENTITLED
TO WHAT THEY MAKE

According to an opinion rendered by
the judge advocate general of the
Army, sick and wounded soldiers are
entitled to retain as their own prop
erty the product of their work and
skill accomplished at institutions for
occupational therapy. The opinion
applies to such work as basketry.
weaving, woodwork, knitting, leather
work, clay modelling, etc.
The Judge advocate general says
that the general purpose of the leg
islation, the the rapeutic benefit which
the soldier receives by retaining the
product of his own labor and deveI-
oped skill. and the further fact that
by reason of his own application. the
raw pateriai has become converted
into a product in which its identity
has been completely merged and usu-
ally lost, are considerations incon-
sistent with the idea that the govern
taent should have title to such prod
ucts. 1t is the opinion of the law Of
f1cer of the Army that such products
become the property of the individ-
uai whose hands and ingenuity pro-
duced them and are subject to his
disposition

SEARCH FOR VICTIMS
Twelve Believed Lost When British

ish airship NS-11, which was blown
up during a flight over the North sea
last night. All were believed to have
been lost. There were two officers
and ten men aboard
The airship was attached to the
mine sweeping fleet. Persons living
on the Norfolk coast declared they
heard a series of explosions and saw
burning debris fall in the sea. 1t was
believed the airship either was struck
by lightning or developed engine
trouble.
The ship left Pulham, where the
R-34 and R-33 are stationed, for a
sea cruise Monday night. Until the
R-34's recent record of los hours and
10 minutes in the air, on her transat-
lantic cruise, the NS-11 held the record
with 104 hours continuous flight.
