of that body of splendid youth not to
| feel the transcendent Importance of
| waging war against itself and over
| throwing the hideous altar upon which
from the beginning of time hundreds
of millions of boys have been sacrificed.
Second only to the destruction of
life are the blighting effects of the war
upon every field of human action. The
forces of production are shriveled up,
millions are starving, nations are OPP
pressed by debt, fear and hatred pos
sess mems hearts, governments are
falling, and the very universe is sick.
Never before were the evils of war so
clear to the common mind, and if we
cannot dethrone il now we never can.
To do less than our utmost is basely
to fail in our duty to the future and
to the heroes who sleep under the soil
of France.
whatever the faults Of the peace
treaty, and it had serious faults, it
was an atroeious piece of cynicism to
make it a party football and send it to
its destruction. No party ought to
succeed in the coming campaign, and in
my opinion no party will succeed,
which viii not consecrate itself to the
work of transmitting the sufferings of
our time into the inestimable gift of
peace for the future And it must seek
for a man who will fit that issue, one
with the vision clearly to see and the
ability TO do and not gifted in the ig-
noble art Of giving eloquent reasons for
doing nothing.

The L. S. revenue department ought
to get itself together At first the
statement was made that maple sugar
cakes were subject to tax as confec-
tionery and then the announcement
was made in Vermont that sugar cakes
without admixture of any other ma
terial was not subject to tax. Now
the announcement is being sent broad
cast by the revenue departments agent
in New Hampshire that sugar cakes
are subject to the tax. Vermont max
ers of sugar in cakes will adhere to the
second announcement put out by the
Vermont representative of the depart
ment-that the cakes are not liable to

While the series of tornadoes which
swept the middle western and the
southeast sections of the country on
March rs, wiping out scores upon scores
OF lives, was not wide enough in its
scope to include Vermont in its fury,
we have nevertheless reason to feel
ourselves fortunate that the mountains
OF the state, as well as the mountains
of eastern New York, are constantly
standing sentinel to ward off the heav-
lest part of the winds, which come with
almost cyclonic force. These noun
tains act as effective windshields.

remarkable statement in support of
his own candidacy as a delegate-at-

by reports sen 70 the weather bureau,

from the large number OF stations winch
it maintains in various parts of the our

number of disturbances last year was 81,
and the number reported the previous
year was 127. A very large proportion
Of these, of course, are so slight as to be
entirely unnoticed by the public. o the
Pacific Coast slight earth tremors are of
sufficient Frequency to cause no comment
whatever. The majority of quakes re
ported are from that region.
One surprising fact, however, shows
by the. Summary of earthquake reports
for 1919, which has recently been pre-
pared, is that more thar a score OF these
disturbances occurred in the Mississippi
Valley. The region comprising Southern
Illinois, Western Kentucky and Western

UIILILA ZION Of LOWER GRADE
SUGARS.

One result of the prevailing shortage
Of sugar, according to Facts About Sugar,
May 22, 1920, is that many manufacture
ers using sugar in the product u Of
various commodities are discovering that
they scan utilize lower standard grades
without appreciably affecting the quality
OF the goods they put out. Candy manu-
facturerS are reported to be using practi-
cally ali grades OF sugar, with the excep-
ton Of raw cCntrifugals. Biscuit makers
have discovered that washed sugars are
suit; bic to their purposes. Ihe tobacco
trade. which is a larger user Of sugar
than is generally supposed, is able to
absorb practically any grade. Several
soft drink manufacturers have been
experimenting. and have succeeded in
producing clear syrups from low grade
sugAs. 1t appears that the sugars are
melted and put through a simple clarified
ton process before being used for syrup
making. and that excellent results have
been obtained - agricultural NeoOs, July

He draws attention to the fact that the

that this type Of cotton is becoming
more and more in demand for special

 Francis H. Sisson, vice president of
 the Guaranty Trust company of New York, declaredin an address here tonight
 before the National Industrial Traffic league, representing 250, 900 shippers. He spoke on The Credit Situation-Its Causes and Cure"
 If soundness of the credit structure can be preserved, he said, the industrial re- adjustments now, under way may be con- summated with a minimum of hardship to business interests. Improvement Ill credit | conditions, with easier money rates, prob ably will mark the early part of next year, he said. The existing credit situa-
 ton. he, added, is due primarily to the tremendous losses caused by the world | war. In anticipating prosperous new year for business in general, MT. Sisson point | ed out that the crops this year have been I bountiful; transportation facilities, vital
 to commerce, greatly improved through | increased efficiency under private con. | trol; "drones are being driven from our l industrial beehives,' and men are seeking
 jobs rather than jobs seeking the. man Consequently, he-said. the nation Is be- ginning to increase production at lower costs.

 Decline in Wheat Also is ' Reported.

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-Corn and oats tunl- bled in value today and pulled down quo- tations on hogs to q point under any reached in nearly four years. Wheat also declined sharply. influenced by the depres- sIon of other grain.
 Country loadings of corn were said to have increased, and this circumstance to- gether with new low price records for commodities aside from farm products led to general selling of feedstuffs and then of wheat and hogs.
 An eXtreem loss of six cents a bushel was shown at one time in wheat as con- pared with yesterdays finish, May deliv- cry falling to $1.67. Corn went to 69 Is cents December. and oats to 46 1-4 cents December. The average price of hogs to- day was about S1210 a hundredweght, a loss in many cases of 75 cents since yes terday.

His band of bootleggers has made between $400, 900 and s7O0,000 on the sale of liquor in Con- necticut since prohibition went into ef- feet. I am familiar with the extent of the traffic carried on. He owes me S2,5OO for commissions on liquor sales. "A gun man il the employ of this whiskey ring threatened to shoot me on Monday night unless would keep. quiet. The next day I asked the police department for a per- nit to carry revolver.
 He loaned me $1 ,0VO when ran in the primaries for the democratic nomination for congress. Later he said I need not worry about it, as he would take it out of the commissions due me. He has been receiving liquor from New York at his hotel al Westport for months. From there he distributed it to many cities in Con. necticut and Massachusetts"

OIL SUPPLY SUFFICIENT
 FOR SEVERAL GENERATIONS

Washington, Now 1S.-An oil produc- tion sufficient to supply the world for several generations at least was fore cast today at the annual meeting here of the American Petroleum Institute Henry L. Doherty, of New York i; Thomas A. O'Donnell, of Los Angeles, president of the institute, and R. D. Ben son, president. of the Tidewater Oil Company, declared that the petroleum re- sources of the world were nowhere near exhaustion
 MT. O'Donnel however, attacked the navy department for it's seizure of oil | stocks on the Pacific coas+ Producers there, he said, feel that 7he navy de- partment has not been fair" and added We believe this to be due to the ex- treme prejudice of the head of the de- | partment."
 Mir. o'Donnell and MT Doherty both declared that government regulation of | the petroleum industry was likely to jeo- pardize the worlds future oil supply by | discouraging development of new fields. l MT. Doherty predicted there would be sufficient gasoline for all automotive re- quirements for generations, to come. He said scientists undoubtedly would dis 1 cover new fuel extracts but was of the opinion that the probability of finding an artificial sub substitute for petroleum was, remote. The immense capital needed for devel- opment of new oil fields precl1des the possibility Of the petroleum industry be-
 cmoing a monopoly. the speaker said
 More money. he continued. is being spent lin the production of oil than is earned by producing properties. Between 1912
 and 1919 tie amount of capital invested
 in 250 American oil companies, the speaker said, exceeded the dividends
 paid by these companies by nearly ssoo,-
 900, 900.
 Mir. o'Donnelli declared that the atti.
 tude of the navy department toward Pa.
 cific coast producers, coupled with agi.
 tation for government investigation of
 the industry nearly always by men not
 familiar with the subject and frequently
 with pre-conccived prejudice has had a
 destructive influence on the development
 of petroleum resources on the Pacific
 coast"
