The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1919-04-18

The returning Vermont soldiers are be-
ing welcomed in Boston by Vermonters.
That's what will count with them as a
real welcome. Gov Clement, released
from his duties at Montpelier by reason
of the adjournment of the Legislature,
was at the head of the delegation which
has been welcoming the Vermonters of
the 26th division on recently arriving
boats; and his presence has emphasized
the official welcome which Vermont ex-
tends to her sons.

"Burleson wrecking the party" is the
cry that has gone from Massachusetts, to
President Wilson. 1t remains to be seen
whether such a purely partisan appeal
will have any effect toward getting Bur-
Lesson ousted from office.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1919-04-18

One week from to-day will be quite
day-the Germans viii be invited in to
get the allies peace terms and the Goth
division will take over the ownership of
Boston. They are two events closely
correlated although taking place at far
distant points of the world, for it was
the 26th division which had consider
able share in bringing about the capitu-
lation of the Germans and the conse-
quent drawing up OF the treaty of peace.

People Clunu to Old Custom

Pope Galesius stopped the last of
the pagan orgies still associated with
st. Valentines day in 496 A. ID. To-
ward the end of the sixteenth century
st. Francis de Sales set himself stern.
ly to purge the saints day, even of its
lOvemaking notes, valentines and .friv.
olities. For the names Of the opposite
sex drawn as "sweethearts ordained
by fate for the coming year" he sub.
stituted the name Of the martyr him,
self and others, and pious notices re-
placed the amorous doggerel. But, as
In the past, he found the populace re.
fused to give up their mate choosing
and merrymaking. So, after almost
fifteen centuries, st. Valentine still
presides as the patron saint of spring
time and mating, as did Juno and Pan
for centuries before him.

Long an Annual Festival.

The history Of good st. Valentine is
Of interest. and while in the year 1919
his devotees content themselves with
sending postcard greetings or lace
paper concoctions decorated with
scantily clothed cupids, armed with
bows and arrows, for time immemorial
the middle of February has been the
date of similar annual festival, a
fete connected with the feasts of Juno
Februarta and Pan, the coming of
spring, and the time of the year In
which the birds and men are supposed
to choose mates.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1919-02-14

II know who sent it; do you really
want me to tell your"
"Yes, but don't see how you know
unless you sent 1t yourself"
"Of course 1 know. Didn't I see
that gentleman who lives next door
come through the hedge, go round the
house with something, then go quietly
back to his house?"
For some time the widow was in
clined to disbelieve Billy's version Of
the valentine, then she acknowledged
to herself that she had fancied that
the bachelor was quite often Observ-
ing her and almost seemed at times
inclined to speak. Her mirror could
not but tell her that she was still a
very misunderstanding woman, though
she would have to own up to thirty
two years on her next birthday.
AS these thoughts ran through her
mind she said:
swell, Billy, if had valentine I
might be tempted to return the COM
pliment."
Then the wise Billy thought that
good idea; If he should send Mr.. Hall
a valentine from his mother, then he
would feel still safer about his dog.
The next day just as Billy saw the
bachelor approaching his home he
dropped the valentine at the front door
and ran, making sure that Mr.. Hall
should recognize him.
In q few days Mr.. Hall asked one
Of the neighbors to introduce him to
the widow, and finally an interested
party asked permission to bring him
to call upon her.
Each believing the other had sent
valentine, they felt somewhat flattered
by the attention, and they proceeded
to be very agreeable to each other.
Mr.. Hall called frequently after that.
He made much Of Billy, and even spoke
good word for the dog. Billy felt
very proud of himself and his. plans
for his dog, but one day his mother
said:
"Bllly, Mr.. Hall is going to be your
new father"
Billy felt crushed, for as he told one
Of his boy friends: 81 didn't want
any stepfather; gee, was only plan.
ming to keep Bob"
But poor Billy not only gained a
stepfather whom he did not want, but
lost his dog. Bob had not been
trained in any way and his barking at
strangers continued and increased.

GOVERNMENT need FOR
MONEY GREATER NOW
Expenditures For December More
Than in Any Month In Pre-War
Times.

Washington, d. C.-When the Amer
lean people, in the Victory Liberty
Loan in buying War Savings Stamps
daily and raise billions of dollars to
pay for munitions that never reached
France, they will not in reality be
paying for those munitions but for the
saving of 100000 American lives.
1t was not the American army in
France that forced defeat upon Ger
many In 1918; 1t was the enormous
production Of munitions in this coun-
try that the German general staff
knew would soon be flowing into &C.
ton at the front. Had it not been
for this knowledge the Germans would
have fought through 1919.
These statements are made by Lewis
B. Franklin, head Of the War Savings
and Liberty Loan organization.
Our expenditures for December"
said Mr.. Franklin, "were the largest
on record, being $4,000, 100000, a sum
almost double the total annual expen-
diture of our Government in pre-war
times. Many people will call that pay
ing for a dead horse.
"But do we realize that the German
army was never really routed? That
to the last it was fighting on foreign
soil? 1t was only the knowledge OF
a grea. stream of munitions on the
way that ended the war in 1918 in
stead of 1919, and saved the lives of
from 100000 to 100000 American
boys"
Mr.. Franklin said the Seventh Fed
eral Reserve district, which includes
lower Michigan, has achieved a more
general distribution of bonds than any
of the other districts. 1t sold $50 of
its bonds to purchasers of $1,000 or
less as against ratio of 4o6 for the
whole nation.
He argued from this that War Saw
ings Stamps should be a great sue
cess In the middle west.

PEACE WILL PUT new
VALUE ON THE DOLLAR

The greatest merchants and indus
trial chiefs in the country agree that
there will be a readjustment during
the peace period. There will be a
gradual decline i'm prices and grad
ual improvement in the buying power
of money
The secretary of the treasury has a
pretty good opportunity to form an
opinion of financial tendencies. He
Gays:
"Every dollar saved now and
invested In War Savings Stamps
will be worth much more when
peace readjustment comes. Ev-
cry provident man and woman In
the United States may find their
savings double In purchasing pow
er In the next few years. How
can any one more certainly make
money than by saving II now with
assurance Of its enormous en-.
haneement In value when normal
conditions are restored?"
The war took $4,000, 900 men out Of
productive civil life and turned them
into non-productive soldiers. To sup.
ply them all the governments in the
world went into the markets and be-.
gan to bid for everything. Demand
increased by leaps and bounds while
supply remained stationary or was go.

who was passing; she complained to
the city authorities, and a notice was
served that Bob should be sent where
he would tear no more dresses. The
order was complied with, and now.

In moment Of weakness the moth
er gave her consent. The dog was a
poor, scraggly little creature, but had
big soft brown eyes with pleading
look in them. However, the mother
could see that with good feeding and
good care it would improve in looks.
The next day the Widows troubles
began. She tied the dog to tree,
thinking to keep him out in the air
part of the day, but unfortunately the
dog had had no training, so every
passerby was jumped at, as far as the
rope would allow, and a fierce-sound-
ing bark accompanied the jump.
Next door the lone bachelor, Mr..
Hall, was laid up in his room for a
few days by an attack of grippe. The
barking of the dog soon ~ on his
nerves, but he was too much OK gen.
tleman to complain to the widow.
However, he told Billy in very plain

the dog came there was no more sleep

Bob was let out to play and incidental

stop Bob from barking, for he would
be sure to scare burglars away, the
fact of the case being, however, Bob
was perfect coward and would have
skunk away if threatened by anyone.
