If the people Of New England

ment.
Gov. Criticism Would Disappear
Mr. Lewis Is also hrmly convinced
that much OF the unjust criticism now
being hurled against this government
would rightly disappear If the people
void take more interest IN their
government and invest their savings
" such safe securities as Thrift
Stamps, War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates.
He explains that The partnership in
the government so established would
naturally make them more Interested

Extravagant Spending on Part of Thought.
less People is Boosting the H.C.L.

In these days when every
thinking person from President
Wilson down. is advocating that
the people of this country be as
thrifty as possible in their every
day living, the fact comes tQ
light that many young people
who have incomes sometimes as
low as $500 per week are spend
ing their money foolishly and eN-
travagantly for unneeded lux
uries.
Four Years to Pay for Coats
II was in Hartford Connecticut
that woman representative Of one
of the stores reported that she took
orders for $50 fur coats from girl
employees OF one insurance company
on dollar week basis These
coats cost from si25 to 5000 and in
this insurance Office they were pur-
chased by girls earning probably
$500 week or less. Some OF the
girls will he paying on their fur coats
Tor three or four wears, BY such
reckless extravaganza as this the
prices Of Injuries are made to soar
and to some extent the prices OF ne
cessities.
If these girls had been more con
siderate in their spending. and had
thereby saved part Of their income
and placed II in such securities as
War Savings Stamps or Treasury
Savings Certificates, II would not
only hep them. but il would tend to
reduce the present high cost OF Nv
ing IN this country.
Leading fnanciers have brought
out the fact that II the present eco
crisis this country is now pass
ing through is TO be shortened in

thrifty in their everyday living

a charge of embezzling about $4,000
from the postofiice Of which he had
charge. He was arraigned Saturday

thus far been unable TO raise. Whit
ney who is married and has four

put on the job. Whitney got word
that his arrest was imminent and left
Franklin before he was arrested. He
secured employment at various

and face the charge. This he did Fri
day night, with the result that he was
taken into custody. The grand jury

The Morgan Horse Register, which
for 20 years was conducted by the late
Joseph Battell of Middlebury, and left
by the latter's will to Middlebury Col
lege, has been sold to c. C. Stillman,
secretary and treasurer Of the Morgan
Horse Club of New York. The prop
erty consists of the copyright on three
volumes of the Morgan Register al
ready published, and copy for fourth
one which was in preparation at the
time of Mr.. Battells' death. 1t was
the desire of the college to place this
in the hands Of Morgan horse lovers,
where Mr.. Battel's ide2s should be
carried on If possible, and the sale to
Mr.. Stillman is considered fortunate,
as besides being prominently identi-
rel with the Morgan Horse club he is
himself breeder Of Morgans. He has
a large stable at Cornwall-on-the
Hudson. The working up of the his

was begun in 1884 by W. Fl. Bliss, but
