Barre Times.)
Now that the Willoughby lake region is
apparently on the road to development
as a summer resort because of the
establishment of girls camp OF
sufficient size to accommodate approx
mately 200 girls, the Barton Mon
ltor takes the opportunity to warn the
residents thereabouts to forego the out
worn policy of 'gouging' the visitors who
may come to this most pleasant vacation
region. The contemporary advice is
both timely and good. Oftentimes the
success of a summer resort has been not
only jeopardized but prevented by the un
wise and unjust policy of charging tho
visitors more than the same things bring
in other places. Prices of board jump
rents increase by leaps and bounds, pro
duce goes almost out of sight and other
articles are placed at such a price that
the visitors become disguised and tel
their friends never to go to such anC
such a place if they desire to have decent
treatment There will be reasonable re
turns for those who have investments il
and around Willoughby lake if they charge
prices which are not higher than in Other
places of like sort; and perhaps the mar
gin of profit may be little higher be
canse of the lower original cost Of in
gestment. At any rate there is sure t.
be good return on the Investment, ant

lates largely in the Willoughby region, i

"There is unanimity in congress as
to the necessity for economy and re-

practice real economy is to have bust

waste abolished, taxes, of course, can
be reduced. If congress will adopt a

great benefit for the people. Even the

CHAMPIONS
new BUDGET BILL
AS MONEY SAVER
Delivers Speech in the House
Stressing the Present Slip
shod Methods

Washington, Oct. 25.-A long step
towards obtaining greater efficiency
in the disbursement Of federal funds
is pressed by passage by the house of
representatives of the, budget bill.
Among the champions of the new
form of handling government appro-
priations is Representative Lazaro of
the seventh Louisiana district. In
urging it's passage DR.. Lazaro, in
speech before the house, said:
"The slipshod manner in which con-
gressional appropriations are now
made constitutes in itself ample arg
ument in system in this country. We
know that under the present system
estimates are furnished congress by
the various departments, being trans
mitted through the treasury depart
ment, but not being inspected by any
authoritative body. 1t is very plain
to anyone who knows anything about,
legislation that in this way there is
duplication.
eve do not know until the end Of
the session how much money is voted
to run the government, or whether
there will be sufficient revenues to
meet the appropriation. A private
business run upon similar plan
would soon wind up in the bankruptcy
courts. Someone said a good many
years ago, when the total appropria-
tions of congress were not more than
81 900, 100000, that a saving of
$500, 100000 a year could be effect
ed if modern business methods were
adopted in the financial affairs of
the government. No one can attempt
with any degree of accuracy to name
the exact amount Of morAy spent
needlessly during any fiscal year.
However, one can safely say that the
figures will run into millions of dol
lars.
''With large war debt hanging ov-
er us, and the many appropriations
needed to run the government, it
seems to me that it is high time to
change our present system and save
this money to the taxpayers of the
United States.
''The budget, under the proposed
plan, will be an executive budget only
to the extent that the executive init
iates the budget. 1t is a congress
ional budget in that it has been con-
sidered and acted upon by congress.
1t is very evident that under the pro-
posed plan the responsibilities of the
president and the responsibilities of
congress will be well defined, and
each branch will be held to a strict
accountability for the part is has act
ed. Then, too, under the proposed
plan the accounting department will
furnish information to congress and

USE SODIUM FLOURID
FOR THE CoCKRoACHES

Next to the lowly bedbug, the
pest that the housewife detests
most is the cockroaeh. The pres
ence of this fletfooted, filthy in
sect somehow makes the average
housekeeper feel that her domestic
methods are not all they should be,
and she Immediately begins to cast
about for ways and means of elm
mating this nuisance.
According to the home demonstra-
ton specialists in the extension di-
vision of the Louisiana State Uni
vers:ty, thoroughgoing cleanliness
will go a long way toward prevent
ing serious annoyance by the pres
ence of reaches. Also, reaches will
not frequent rooms unless they find
some available food material. If
such materials can be kept from
the living rooms and offices or
scrupulous care is exercised to see
that no such material is placed in
drawers where it can leave an at
tractive odor or fragments of food,
the roach nuisance can be restrict
ed.
The most efficient remedies for
the control of reaches are powders,
particularly sodium flOurid, suf-
ficient busting of which about the
premises will furnish a sufficient
means for the elimination of the
pest. The sodium flourid should
be blown into the crevices with a
dust gun or blower.
