street property owner who said the
citizens could not AFFORD such i'm

The Examiner took the lead in ia

That Montpelier has a high school
today is due largely to the efforts of
Of the Examiner and personal work
upon the part or the writer.
Four years ago. when the present
mayor and majority OF the present
councilman were nominated. the res
olutions adopted at the convention
contained a plank favoring submit
ting to vote OF the people the ques-
tion az to whether or not the city
should issue bonds for the purpose
Of erecting city hall. The writer
was the author OF that plank.
Other things might be mentioned
which the Examiner has advocated
in the past, but the above are sum
Gent for now. We would not refer
to these things at this time were II
not for the misrepresentation that
have been made by irresponsible
parties since the movement was in
augurated to organize the Boosters

helm Of the Examiner. the paper will
be found ready and anxious to sup

A NEW GYMNASIUM.

It Ia time that Montpelier high
school had gymnasium. Conditions
are such at the present time that
athletics cannot be INDUCED In and
as result the physical education OF
the students Is neglected.
The school has reached a point
where further growth is practically
impossible without the erection of
Gym. II is a well known fact that
a gym Is q great drawing card in the
way OF getting students. Quite
number of our students come from
outside towns but there is no unes-
ton but what we would get many

a FEW FACTS.


Az probable nominees for mayor
we have heard mentioned the names
Of Jeff Davis, Richard Groo, L. G..
Norris and John ]. Jones. The Ex-
aminer has no favorite to groom
ssJr the mayoraIityship. It's only
desire u to see some man at the head
OF the city for the ensuing two years
who Ii progressive and will assist the
newly organized Boosters club in
carrying TO successful conclusions
some Of the projects the club has IN
view. which have for the object the
making OF q better and. more up-to-
date town OF Montpelier.
The Boosters club. as we under
stand It's objects, does not intend TO
capture the moon and all Of the stars
In the heavens. Neither does II intend
to advocate policies which would bur-
den the city with enormous debt, but
It has In view the accomplishment Of
some things In the immediate fu-
ture which will be Of everlasting ben
eft to the city. The club il going
after the little things first. Things,
however, which can only be accom-
plished by organization upon the part
OF its business men.
In NIL Of its efforts the club well
have the loyal support OF the Examin-
er. We wish to impress this fact
firmly upon the minds of every one.
1t has come to our knowledge that
an effort has been made recently to
discredit the Examiner in the minds
OF some people. II has been insinu-
ated that the Examiner would not
lend It's support to the organization Of
any sort OF commercial or boosters
club. Such insinuationss IA these
are but the rantings of shallow brain
ed individuals, who would build
themselves up by beating down their
fellow man.
We challenge any citizen of Mont
pelier to point to single instance
in the past fifteen years in which the
Examiner has opposed any project
that had for its object the betterment
or Improvement Of the city or county.
In many Of the improvements that
have been brought about in that
time the Examiner has taken the lead
and In few cases It fought for them
single handed and alone.
Prominent among these. was the
erection OF new passenger depot
here. Through the efforts OF the Elk
aminer the state sanitary inspector

ToLEDo's BUILDING PLAN.

Bargains in building have been introduced in
Ohio In Toledo it is possible to obtain materials
of many sorts at reduction of from to 10
per cent All that is necessary is to break ground
and prove intention to begin construction i'm
mediately. Then a card is issued that assures
concessions
The idea of the reduced rate cards is only one
of many enterprising ideas that distinguish the
Toledo Own-Your-O Home campaign, started
in cooperation with the nationwide work of the
United States Department of Labor, which has
done much to stimulate building operations
Toledo did not start its special Own Your Own
Home campaign until rather late, and it was
necessary to hasten action. Mayor Cornell
Schneider consented to be chairman of the cam
paign committee, and he selected as the "a men,
bers to serve under him representatives of civic
organizations, retail and wholesale merchants,
lumbermen, dealers building -suppy men, cleo
trical workers, labor unions, and schools. Head
quarters were opened and the newspapers CO.
operated in giving publicity to the drive" for
more houses A fund was raised to carry the
campaign, and then the big idea was put forth.
Prospective builders were notified that they
could obtain cards authorizing discounts of from
to 10 per cent at headquarters, these cards be-
ing signed by Mayor Schneider and by George
w. Stevens, who has charge of the campaign.
AS Mr.. Stevens is director of the local museum
of art his aid and influence were sought especial
ly, for Toledo, in common with other American
cities, is aiming to add to the beauty and ap-
propriateness of its architecture.
Returns February / from the questionnaires
sent out by the Division of Public Works and
Construction Department of the Information and
Education Service, United States Department of
Labor, showed that there were in Ohio 805 build
ing projects, which had been held up during the
war, reported, of which 81 per cent were deferred
owing to war. Toledo has decided to wipe out
all her share and to go over the top with big
addition to her list of private projects.

EXPRESS YOUR CONVICTIONS

Every voter is urged to cast his ballot either
for or against the issue of 100000 for bonds, at
the election Monday. 1t is up to the voters
to decide whether or not Pensacola is to be
bonded for this amount which was approved
by the voters and property owners in the election
of l.st August. These bonds were not sold at
the tine, because the shpbuding company did
not build the houses contemplated.
1t will be remembered that this money was
voted with the understanding that the federal
government would advance funds for building
at least four hundred houses. BY act of the
legislature, these bonds may not be validated,
if diverted to other use than that for which
they were originally voted, without the consent
of the people, at the polls on Monday
If you believe that these bonds should be is
sued, and this money used for extending and
improving the city's sewage and drainage sys-
tenn, or if you feel that these bonds should not
be SO diverted, go to the polls and express your
conviction, through the ballot.
No one doubts for moment that public i'm
provements are needed in Pensacola. But it is
up to the people themselves to decide this ques-
ton. The only way to decide it is at the polls
Do not fail to cast your vote either for against
this proposition for only in this way can decision
be made to the use of these bonds.
There are no property qualifications
sary Let every citizens, then, cast his vote
cording to his conviction on this important pub
lie question.

FOOD PRICES STILL 60 UP
 IN ENGLAND

v' London, July 1. Correspondence or the Associated Press )-Prophecy that the price of food next winter will climb to a level never dreamed of" was uttered by Sir Auckland Geddcs, the British Minister of Re construction, in an address at Crewe recently.
 A member of the audience shout ed, more wages" Sir Auckland re- piled that there would be no money to pay wages because 1t would have to go overseas to pay for food
 The Minister warned the public that 1t was squard ering it's money in a colossal way on things that did not matter.
 You cannot live like millionafres, he said, "if you are as poor as a church mouse This nation is now poor. It is living ns if it were veal thy"
 More beer was being brewed in Great Britain yet people complain of a shortage. This he attributed to a doubling of the amount of beer con sumed because, since the war, there was more time to drink it and more money to pay for 1t.
 By sending overseas for beer, silk for stockings and feathers for hats, sir Auckland said, the people were in- creasing Britain'5 debt for things that did not matter. What you ought to get are food and raw materials,' he declared.
 Sir Auckland denounced the limi- fation of output as stark, staring lunGcy." The mill owners, he sa1d' limited output to obtain higher prices and the operators limited it to make work for more people.

FIND LARGE CAVE

San Luis Potosi, Mexico, July b. Workers in a mine at Matehuala, near here. have discovered cave which is said to be one of the largest in the republic. It is more than 300 feet below the level of the mine and is fifteen feet in width. Its length has never been estimated but exploring parties expect to survey 1t carefully in the near future. One of the most fantastic of it's many grotesque adorn- ments is a, sulphurous fountain which pours out continuously a stream of blue water.
