Discount on Canadian Money a Nui
sanee.


The greatest nuisance along the
United States and Canadian border at
the present time is the trouble with
this currency exchange referred to in
an article printed in the Express and
Standard last week. We feel it in this
city to great extent, and in all bor
Der towns along the line it is felt Just
the same Four and a half to five cents
on every Canadian dollar is nuisance.
1t holds back trade from the north be-
cause that per cent is worth saving.
Many do not take the discount in traf-
fic, but have TO lose it in their ex-
change of money. They would rather
lose this per cent than lose their GUS
toners from the Canadian border
towns. Another thing, and which is
more damaging than local trade, is
centcring the trade Of large business
houses along the border into different
channels. Neither an American or Ca
madam are going to pay this premium
of four and five per cent If they can
avoid it, There hardly seems to be a
reasonable excuse for it, Even. with.
out tho per cent, Canadian currency
seldom reaches beyond twenty. mile
limit toward the south With us in
Newport it circulates, or did, almost
on par with IT, s. money, because
of the trade from the north. 1t is too
much like the days after the rebellion,
when in Canada it took two dollars of
states money TO buy one Canadian bill.
That was nuisance, as the present
discount on Canadian money il now,

The Ohio member of the national
House who complains about Pershing
because the American leader did not
90 up in the front line and get killed
forgets that the campaign is not now
adays planned up front. Marshal Foch
and Marshal Haig, if we hear correctly
concerning them, were not accustomed
to go up into the front line during
battle; they were essential at head
quarters to receive the reports and map
out the maneuvers. Pershing occupied
position very similar to Foch and
Haig, and there was no reason why he
should have been up front. At the
same time there is no proof that Per-
shing is not courageous man.

The esteemed Montpelier Argus de-
eIines to be sparing of sugar if its sur
plus is going TO sweeten Great Britain
and France. But there is no evidence
that the surplus sugar is going to Great
Britain or France There is notion
that the United States is being de-
prived to help out some of our allies,
but The statistics which show that the
United States consumes Is per cent of
the worlds sugar crop do not indicate
a great deprivation.

CURRENT COMMENT
co,ld Take Lesson from the French.

Could Take Lesson from the French.
The French people are saving more
money than ever. They were always
thrifty and they haven't lost the habit,
Their wages are higher, as are their
living expenses, but they still are pru-
dent and are putting by as much as
possible out of the increased funds
which come to their hand In this
country it is different, The people are
getting more money than ever and are
spending up to the increase. The French
are prudent; the Americans are not,
The French are not paying any price
asked and are not splurging on the
non essentials. Americans could take a
page out of the French book with prof
it.-St. Adams Messenger.

There were moving scenes in the
Caledonia county court room when a
woman spectator in divorce proceed.
ing gave a resounding slap on the face
of the deputy sheriff who was ejecting
her from the room on the presiding
judges order, after which the woman
was fined S25 for her indiscretion The
reason for the ejectment of the woman
was because Of the presiding judges
order that spectators be excluded, and
the action of the woman in slapping
the deputy was plainly contempt of
the court.

II has been lively little battle be-
tween John +. Fitzgerald and Peter f.
Tague Of Boston for election to the
House of Representatives from the 10th
Massachusetts district, which com
prises part Of the city of Boston, and
still it has not been Of marked concern
which one of the two men was success
ful in the contest before the national
House. The seating Of Tague after
Fitzgerald had been declared elected
and had taken his seat finds no marked
protest except among the close follow
ers of the ousted man.

THE COVERED BRIDGE HAZARD

THE COVERED BRIDGE HAZARD.
1t is as the Rutland Herald says, the
bridge accident at East Montpelier is
a fresh reminder Of the peril that turks
in the covered bridge, often narrow and
always offering possibilities of col
lision.' There is just such bridge
right in the city of Barre and another
in Berlin between Barre and Montpel-
Ter. Both are hazardous in the extreme
because each is located on a partial
curve; and the South Main street
bridge in Barre is considered even more
dangerous because of its age. The first
permanent work which the city Of
Barre does another year should be to
replace the ancient structure over the
Jail branch with q modern bridge Of
granite or cement, or combination Of
the two, for, besides being source of
danger, the bridge is an eyesore and a
disgrace to city that is as progress.

In Burlington the parking of auto
mobiles on Church street, the main
business thoroughfare, is permitted for
only Is minutes. If such a require
ment should be made in Barre it would
no doubt impose real hardship on
many people; yet there is considerable
weight of argument in favor of an ordi-
nance which limits the time to some
thing less than half day.

same time, we are sure that the editors

not.

The eastward trend of Italian people
from the United States has already
turned, if one may judge by the fact
that 1000 passports were asked for in
two weeks by Italians intending to
come to the United States No doubt
many of these Italians were persons
who left the United States only a
short time ago, expecting to find con-
ditions in Italy to be as satisfactory as
they were before the war.

HORSEMAN WITHOUT LEGS

Paris, April ia horseman with
out legs was the extraordinary sight
witnessed the other day in the Bots
de Boulogne.
The rider, an old cavalryman, used
a side saddle, to which he was buclled
for safety by strap attached to the
back of his belt. He was accompanied
by mounted attendant. The specta-
tors showed their admiration for the
plucky war victim, whose love for the
saddle had overcome what to most
people would seem an insurmountahle
obstacle.

pey are resurrected and discussed at
such length that one might suspect
they narrowly missed being selected
as delegates to the Paris conference
Ancient Greece and Rome no longer
seem ancient. Philip of Macedon sud-
denly becomes modern. Persian poets
I sing of their country's proper bounda-
ries with all the charm Of Omar Khay-
yam. The Old Testament is introduce
ed as a modern bit of literature de-
signed to establish certain territorial
claims
Countries and peoples are discover
! ed at these conferences which Ameri-
can school geographers apparently
hadn't heard of; and the geographical
specialists employed by the various
missions to the peace conference are
mystifed.
It's a rare occasion when a delega-
ton descends to a period as modern
as that of Charlemagne or Pepin the
Great in making claims for the right
| of self-determination.
Sanskrit and Arabic are revived in
an effort to establish the consanguin-
ity of certain peoples. Ancient phil
osophers are quoted in their original
tongues. Anglo-Saxons are reminded
of the perfect civilization which ex-
listed in the Orient five thousand years
before the Christian era. Names which
the 'raw civilization" of Western Eu-
rope never heard of are rolled off glib
ly-names which the Americans try
| ing to make the world safe for democ-
racy and that speedily, don't want to
hear.
Such claims as that of Belgium for
a readjustment of her relations with
Holland come as real relief to dazed
newspaper men and weary delegates.
That controversy only dates back to
1881, to the scrap of paper which
Germany probably wouldn't tear up so
ruthlessly if she could live the last
five years over again.
Discussions of the Near Eastern
questions are much the same, whether
they be in the drawing room of the
Prince of Hedjaz or the meetings of
the Big Five at the Quai d'Orsay.
They are reminiscent of weary class
room days with Homer, Herodotus and
Virgil. Efforts to interest busy men
in antiquity seem futile. Delegates
doze through the exposition of ancient
history and correspondents long for
brief statements throwing light upon
the recent history and aspirations of
the various peoples who have lived in
such discord for centuries along the
shores of the Mediterranean.

AUTO FINISH
For Renewing Old Cars

This finish makes it possible
to make a used car look new.
They are free-f1owing enamels
of the very highest quality,
greatly superior to the ordinary

Six beautiful colors, with black

They give a factory finish to the
used car, no matter how rusty

much to it's resale value. Vitro-

them ground coats and under
coatings necessary to lay a
foundation for the best finish of
this kind. By using them in ac-
