1t is an American character
istic to shout when you win but
never cheep when you lose.
Mores the pity.
And shrewd stock swindlers
have made the most of it.
If only ten per cent Of the
victims who have traded their
Liberty Bonds for worthless
stocks in wild cat companies
alone were to tell the country
of their losses it would discoIr-
age this sort of bartering.
But they will never do it.
The man who is Stung the hard
est is the least likely to admit
II. He simply grins and bears
it.
Meantime thousands of Lib
erty Bond owners are consider
ing surrendering their 312, 4
and Al certainties for neatly
printed and highly illuminated
certificates that are 80 per cent
pipe dreams.
Nine times out Of ten these
gulls are the small investors,
the fellows who can the least
afford to lose.
There is some excuse for the
man who lives in developing
oil field and sees and knows
what is being done investing in
a promoting company there.
But there is no apology to be
made fer the man who invests
at long range. Who never sees
what he is dumping his money
into. Who takes only "A sales
mans word. Who. above all,
trades in Liberty Bond for a
stock certificate.
Keep your bonds. They're an
investment, not a speculation.

Some people say the fifth liberty
loan will go slow because the war is
over. 1t is costing the government
about as much to end the expense list
as it did to fight. The soldiers must
be paid and there are thousand and
one other expense accounts. The gov
ernment must have the money and il
the people will not loan it they will
have to give it to the government in
the form of higher taxes. The gov
ernment will give you your choice to
loan or give it. Better think twice be-

EXCAVATION WORK BEGUN.
Million Dollar Extension at Vernon
Power Plant to Be Made This Year
so Per Cent More Capacity.

After nearly month of preliminary
work for extending the power plant of
the Connecticut River Power Co. at
Vernon the actual work of excavating
for the foundation for the addition to
the power station was begun Wednes-
day. The brick building will be extend
ed westward 40 feet and a part of it
will be in the state of Vermont.
In order to make the extension it will
be necessary to cxcavate for founda-
ton until rock is reached which may
require going down 60 feet in some
places. The dam and the present build
ing are on a solid rock foundation.
The purpose of extending the build
ing is to make room for the installation
of two more electrical power units, each
of which will have capacity of 5000
kilowatts, which is double the capacity
of each of the eight units already in
stalled.
The expense of the new installation
will be well toward $l,000,000, and it
will be financed by the Power Construc
ton Co. of Worcester, Mass, a subsidi.
airy of the Connecticut River Power
Co. When the new work is completed
the present capacity of 10000 kilowatt'
will be increased to 10000 kilowatts
which is approximately 10000 hors'
power.

VERMONT HEALTH OFFICERS.

The fear of some people that the reor-
ganization of the health officers of the
state would prove expensive finds con-
frmation in the excerpts of a letter
from the secretary of the state board of
health to the local health officer. In
this letter the secretary of the state
board says it is the desire of that board
that town health officers be continued
in all towns of 5000 or more population
and their work go on practically as at
present and that the state board rules
that in towns having a local health Of
fcer he may continue the placardng of
houses if desired.
1t would appear that considerable du-
plication of work and certainly of ex-
penses would follow such an arrange
ment. The duties of the district health
officer are defined in the new law and
cover all regulations, inspections and in
vestigations necessary for public health.
The district health officer s salary is
fixed by the state board of health sub
iect to the approval of the state board
of control and is paid from the state
treasury. The town health officer is paid
by the town in which he is employed
and receives certain fees for placard-
ing contagious diseases. So any town
employing a local health officer must
pay its share of the salary of the dis
trict health ofiicer-a much larger
share by the way than the smaller town
would pay-and then pay its own health
officer in full.
' There is some question whether the
district health officer can properly care
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1919-06-20

for the large districts the state board of
health has created, the limits of which
were recently published by The Reform.
er; but if he cannot, it will demonstrate
the inefliciency of the expensive system
which has been organized by the state
board.
All will agree there should not inspec-
ton of schools and buildings by two
health officers, nor two sets Of regula-
tons enforced by two different officers
and the large towns should not be re-
quired to pay both district and town
health officers. It would seem wiser and
better business to accept the services of
the district health officer imposed upon
all towns in q district by law AMI let him
demonstrate whether or not he can give
adequate service in the protection of
public health. If he can that will be
sufficient. If he cannot the system can
be abolished by the legislature While
no town can afford to be without eff
cient health protection it cannot afford
double expenses for its health depart
ment
