FAMILIES OF
WAR HEROES
GET $6,266,5So
War Risk Insurance Pays
Claims to III Benefici-
aries in This State

Vermont families are being paid
| $6,2GG,5S0 in War Risk Insurance
claims by Uncle Sam. He is making
restitution to those whose sons and
husbands died in the service of their
country during the greatest war of
all times.
There are TIT insurance claims be
ing paid in Vermont through the Bu-
reau of War Risk Insurance to ben =
ficiaries named at the time APPLICATION
for insurance was made by soldiers,
sailors and marines, now dead. The
average policy carried by these 71T
men was $S740.
Disabled soldiers, as we'll rs
! widows and children and dependent
parents of those who have died, are
being made comfortable by the gov
eminent which is paying 2G5 compen-
sation claims to residents of Ver-
mont.
In addition to the insurance aud
compensation claims now being paid
in Vermont, there are 200 of both
these classes of claims under inves'l-
cation. These cases, however, are
rapidly being adjusted following an
investigation by Bureau representa-
tives.
The Bureau of War Risk Insurance
which administers these affairs, has
been established by the government
as a permanent institution in recog-
milton of the services veterans of The
World War rendered their cou TRY.
Some idea of the magnitude of
$40, ,00O,O00,000 may be gained by
figures compiled by the Acturial Sec
ton of the Bureau showing that if
this amount were in dollar bills, end
to end, the line thus formed would
extend to the moon more than ID
times.
To July 1st there had been 1885,
445 checks mailed. If these were in
line, end for end, they would ex-
tend 1891 miles. During the first six
months of 1919, there were more
than 100000 letters received by the
Bureau. An army of correspondents
is needed to take care of the grear
daily inflow of letters from former
service men seeking information on
all phases of War Risk Insurance.
There are six permanent forms of
government insurance, as follows:
20 Year Endowment.
2 80 Year Endowment.
3 20 Payment Life.
a 80 Payment Life.
5 Endowment at Age 62.
Ordinary Life.

BIG UNTRY ESTATE
IN WATERFORD

Deee A &c soon to be made out fOl
eight rs of real estate in the vii
lage o pver Waterford which ]. w.
Davies Of Reading, Mass, has pur-
chased and which he will develop into
one of the finest country estates in
this section. The property already
purchased includes eight parcels and
over 800 acres of land and Mr.. Davies
is negotiating for two more and hopes
to secure them to complete the devel-
opment of his plans.
The improvement will run up into
the thousands of dollars and the firm
of Boston architects, Adden 4 Par
ker, who are also the architects of
the new building of the Plymouth
Creamery, will start at once upon the
plans for MI. Davies new country es-
tate.
The old hotel property in Lower
Waterford, owned by Edwin Bowman
attracted Mr.. Davies attention be-
cause of its slightly location and he
was SO charmed with the prospects
of home where wonderful view of
the White Mountains was always
visible that he traded for the proper
ty. He then started out to secure
the adjoining pieces of property and
has purchased the home of Mrs. Hen
ny Morrison, standing on the corner
near the bridge, together with the
water power and the building that
used to be used as a starch factory
in years gone by. He will utilize this
building for manufacturing the lum-
Der in connection with the extensive
repairs that are now being planned.
The brick house owned by G. Fl.
Nelson and the place owned by Mrs.
Elvira Morrison are included in his
purchase, also the land across the
bridge. The farm buildings and some
200 acres of farm land belonging to
Alfred Wright have been secured and
it is the plan, of the future owner to
develop the farm property into golf
links. The 20 acres of land and build
ings belonging to Henry Morrison
are included in the purchase.
Mr.. Davies is coming to st. Johns
bury Wednesday to meet the parties
who have been buying up this pro-
perty and hopes at this time to secure
the two other pieces of property in
the immediate vicinity that he de-
sires to complete the plans for i'm
provcment that his architects have
suggested. The carpenters will be
engaged at once to remodel the old
hotel, tear down some of the barns
on some of the other parcels that he
has bought and by next summer he
hopes to have his country estate rea-
'dy for occupancy for himself and his
friends.
Mr.. Davies is the sole owner of the
Plymouth Creamery of Boston, which
is completing in st. Johnsbury a
100000 brick building at the foot of
Hastings hill. The Caledonian is
able to state on the highest authori-
ty that Mr.. Davies desired to locate
in st. Johnsbury and had already
contemplated the purchase of large
farm in this town or one of st.
Johnsbury's slightly residences in this
village, but after the Plymouth
Creamery property was denied ex-
emption at special town and village
meeting he decided to look elsewhere
and Waterford is most fortunate in
securing this most important real es
tate Improvement.

Through the munifcence of James
Hartness, Springfield has the first
municipal aviation field in Vermont.
Mr.. Hartness is president of the Ver-
mont Aero club and is one of the
foremost promoters of aviation in the
state. 1t is peculiarly fitting that the
first commercial landing on the new
aviation field was made by a Ver-
mont aviator, Lieut.. Lynch of Rut-
land. Aviation for business as wei
as pleasure is fast coming along, and
it is none too soon for Vermont
towns that wish to be on the aviation
map to be selecting and securing
their aviation fields. 1t is already
well known what railroad station
means to a town. 1t can be readily
seen what the aviation field is go..,g
to mean.

On the High Gear Only
Essex Automobile Arrived
Here Today Having Made
Over 1000 Mile Mark

With gears locked high, and witt
gear lever removed, an Essex auto
mobile stopped at the Caledonian Of
flee Wednesday morning, having
passed Monday night the 1000 mile
mark after traversing the hills ard
valleys of Vermont in high gear. The
gears have never been changed from
high since the car left the garage in
Bennington under the control Of f.
w. Williams on Sept. a. In the two
weeks intervening the car has cross
ed the mountains between Benning-
ton and Brattleboro three times, has
glided up French hill in Williston
has traversed the Mohawk trail, and
Wednesday morning glided up Con-
cord Avenue and later climbed the
Dole hill approaching Danville twice
without stopping to make the turn at
the foot of the hill.
Frank f. Howe of Bennington ac-
companied MI Williams on his visit
to Barre today and has been official
observer for part of the 1,000-mile
itinerary thus far covered. 1t is the
intent of the experiment to pick up
local observers at various points of
the trip. Mr.. Howe says the gears
We're locked in high and the shift
lever removed under careful scruti-
ny at Bennington garage and that
the demonstration is just what it is
claimed to be.
The trip to Danville was made
with three in the car, Mr.. Williams,
DR.. w. c. Kicker and Arthur F..
Stone, a representative of the Gale
donian. Mr.. Williams kept up uni
form speed of better than 25 miles
and easily made all the hills to the
height of land. After reaching the
top of the Dole hill the driver return
ed to the house just below the water
ing trough, circled the dooryard with
out stopping, and started the climb at
five miles an hour. The sharp turn
was easily made at Is miles an hour,
which increased to 25 as the summit
was reached.
The Essex car has not been stuck
yet, although it does not, of course,
try impossible hills. One of the sew
crest tests was the Searsbu noun
tain where the grade is ITS feet in
IA miles. This car and one other, of
another make, are the 'only cars in
the United States that have ever
made this hill on high gear.
The only time the Essex has expert
enced any difficulty was in climbing
a steep hill in Springfield, when
lumber wagon came out of a driveway
directly across the road so that there
was no chance to get by. The car
was allowed to run back to the foot
of the hill and start again after the
lumber wagon got out of the way.
The hill was then negotiated.

Autos Will Equal Horses

This year there We're a third as
many automobiles as there were
horses in Vermont. Another year
the difference will be materially re-
duced, for, during the present year
over 5000 more machines were reg
istered than during the same period
of the preceding year, and there is
reason to believe that the number of
new cars will be at least as large as
during this year.

which have been sent to Boston,

Mt. Clemens, Mich, Aug. IS
Damages to the extent OF 8 cents
were awarded to Henry Ford, au-
tomobile manufacturer in his suit
for 81 100000 against the Chicago
Tribune, for publication of an ed
itorial headed, "Ford Is An An
archist." A jury in Judge James
fuckers court returned the YER
dict last night after celebrating
II hours and 20 minutes.
The amount of costs that
Henry Ford may receive from
the Chicago Daily Tribune in adj
dition to the six cents damages
awarded him last night by the
jury which heard his libel suit
against the Chicago newspaper,
will not exceed $50 as under the
Michigan law where nominal
damages are awarded not more
than $50 costs can be assessed.
Some attorneys hold however, he
can collect no costs and in that
event Ford could demand only 6
cents from the Tribune.
