FLOUR TAKES RISE
AND PRICES WILL
KEEP ON SOARING
Increase Already is S1.O0 a
Barrel and Will Go
Higher
SCARCITY OF WHEAT
Export Sales Make Wheat Scarce and
Millers Take Advantage
to Jump Prices
SCARCITY OF WHEAT

Many persons who have been wait
ing for prices to lower, with a pa
tience that Job in his best days never
dreamed of, will be surprised to learn
that flour has suddenly jumped to the
tune of 81 per barrel and the outlook
is that it will keep on jumping.
The new supply of flour just bought
by the dealers is about $3.50 "per"
or, in plain understandable English,
about $50 per cent more than the
price paid before the war.
Some grocers have not as yet raised
the retail price having on hand stock
that was bought at from SLIPS to
$11.50 per barrel, but there is no
question, but that as soon as they
are obliged to replenish their supplies,
they will have to pay more and there
fore get more for the new lot.
That Herbert Hoover's recent pro-
phecy that wheat would go to $3.50
per bushel is responsible for the sud-
den flight is the belief of the majori-
ty in the trade, representatives of
which state that the advance began
Immediately following the story of
the Hoover prediction. It is supposed
that the mills, taking the one from
the national food administrator, i'm
mediately started the upward trend
in the market, compelling an advance,

goods that have not and will not be
used, but the very fact that these
goods were on the way to be used de-
termined the ending Of the war in
November, 1918, and they feel that
the seven billions of dollars which
the Government asks the nation for
in the Victory Loan is but little to
balance against the lives of hun
dred thousand American soldiers.
This, and the knowledge that the Vic
tory Loan will finance the hospital
service, the vocational training SER
vice and the insurance service pro-
viding for wounded men and the de-
pendants of dead or disabled soldiers
has already set the American women
crusading for the Victory Loan"

all the way to the consumer, which
has steadily increased. That there
will be a scarcity of wheat due to the
immense sales of the United States
in Europe, which will cause the high
price predicted by Mr.. Hoover, is un
questioned.

LIEUT.. COL. ARNOLD
RECEIVES HIGHEST
U.S.. DECORATIONS
One of Four Officers Dec
Grated with Legion of
Honor

st. Johnsbury's part in the great
European war is marked by the loyal
service of her gallant sons and will
pass into the history of the town and
state bringing increased honor to
the record made whenever the coun-
try has called for service and sacri-
fee.
Among these, some have made the
supreme sacrifice, others have faith
fully performed every duty under the
most trying and exacting conditions,
and yet others have won distinguish
ed service. Foremost among these
stands Lieut.. Col. Alfred C. Arnold,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Lyndon C.
Arnold. Col. Arnold is in the Regu-
lar army, with the 9th Infantry, I'd
division, and has been awarded a D.
S. C.. with bar, the Croix de Guerre
with palm, and decorated with the
Red Ribbon and Rosette of the
Legion of Honor.
Lieut.. Col. Arnold comes from
fighting stock" his ancestors having
notable record from the days of
the Revolution down to the present
time. His neutrality-suspicious.
took part in the Struggle for indie
pendence, serving as surgeon. He
established hospital in Rhode Is
| land, and later came to Vermont. He
| was the founder of st. Johnsbury.
Court House Square and Arnold Park
were given the town by the family,
the latter being permanent memor-
ial to this sturdy old pioneer.
The great-grandfather, William
Comstock Arnold, and grandfather,
William Crawford Arnold, of Lieut..
Col. Arnold, were both captains in the
state troops of their time. His father,
Lyndon Arnold, enlisted at the age
of II in the Sd Vermont, serving
eight months. He served nine months
with the 45th Massachusetts,, and
with the 1st Vermont Artillery for
two years. With two others he or
ganized Co. D of the state militia
and is a past commander of Cham
berlin Post G. A. r.
The military spirit ran strong in
Lieut.. Col Arnold from boyhood and
his ambition was to go to West
! Point. He graduated from st. Johns
bury Academy in the class of '96
and his intrepid spirit of battle must
! have shown itself upon many a scene
of contest in his school days, for the
class prophet at graduation had this
! to say of his classmate:
GAS | listen there came visions,
Visions of battlefield,
Strewn with soldiers dead and dying,
Wet with blood and strewn with
| weapons,
Sadly strange that our loved country
Is once more called forth to battle,
But it conquers, yes, It's victor,
And among the noble warriors,
Arnold stands, who fought the battles
| For the class Of '96. Sturdy arms
and valiant spirit,
Dangers threat, he does not fear it,
Knotted muscles, nerves of steel,
Mid the fierce war trumpet's peel,
Where the wild fends of battle
wheel,
/ Brave he was and won his laurels,
| Major General Alfred Arnold"

Sued for $500 for
Four Days Schooling

Monday afternoon a second jury
was empanelled to try the case of
the Mt. Ida School VS.. Daniel T.
Gilman. The school is located in
Newton, Mass, and the suit is
brought to recover the years tuition
which the plaintiff is entitled to by
the contract and which amounts to
some 5000. The defendant claims
that inasmuch as his daughter, Miss
Alene l.. Gilman, only attended
school four days that he should not
be compelled to pay for the year and
that conditions were not as repre-
sented in the catalogue. Messrs.
Conant & Shields of the firm of
Dunnett, Shields G. Conant represent
the plaintiff and the defendant is
represeted by Porter, Writer'S &
Longmore.
George F. Jewctt, the principal of
the school, was the only witness for
the plaintiff and he was subjected to
a severe cross examination by Law
yer Porter. The latter brought out
the fact that he had completed his
education at the university of Berlin
in Germany, that he gave very little
attention to the defendant until the
