St. Johnsbury a Medical Center
(Rarrc TimeS)

With five HOSPITALS already estab-
lishcd and sixth about to be opened
st. Johnsbury stands in the first
rank of towns having multiplicity
of such institutions. What is more
significant is that all five of the hos
pitfalls now in opcration are said TO
filled with patients. There must have
been a demand, too, else the sixth
would not have been projected. No
doubt one reason for the large num-
Der of hospitals ccntcrcd at st.
Johnsburv is the lar"e territory in
northeastern Vermont and western
New Hampshire from which business
might be expected to be drawn mas
much as there arc few hospitals in
the territory. st. Johnsbury is the
natural center for medical and sur
gical treatment in that wide terri
tory.

When the first few ba..a:uHd. OF
boys returned from France the on
frances 20 the piers Tor blocks away
were TANNED with people. But the
novelty soon wore Off and the l&sl
boats came home with real heroes
with less than Il corporaPs guard to
greet them. lie said the public owed
u deDt to the American navy which
they could never repay.
"The idea you have of war," Capt
Cooper sad, "is that the American
soldiers mid the PLAYING Of bands
and flying OF flags jumned cut of the
trenches and grasped the German by
the throat and checked him to d"a h.
These are the horoics you have seen
in the movies. But tonight Will give
you modern warfare just - it is
fought without any Of the hcroics."
Capt. Cooper had some wonderful
"stills" and motion picta which he
took himself on the battlcfcld; whom
faced with great dangers. He show
cd owe scene near Il German rrcrch
which cost one of his fellow photo
graphcrs his life to gCt. He took his
audience through Chateau Thierry,
Torccy u heat Fields, Bclcau
Woods, Schicsprcy, the Ar%onne ail
battles and showed some wonderful
air pictures including scenes with the
acc OF aces "Eddic" Rickcnbacker.
Capt. Cooper was the only photo
%raphnr VINO cvcr made an air trip
with he famous air man.
Members Of the American Legion

PRESS COMMENT
A Sample of Hoover Foresight
(Springiicld Republican,

ToDT1HTI1VTr 1lVFUU1TVst117
There is one fact about Mr..
Hoover which the American house
wife, and the man who earns the
household funds, can appreciate
without the need Of political COM
PARSONS. If Mr.. Hoovcr's recon-
mcndations in regard to the pur-
chase of the Cuban sugar crop had
been followed year ago, sugar
would be selling today for approx
mately half its present price. Fail
ure to act on MI. Hoover's advice is
costing the American people some
where near 0,0O0,000 Il month.
AS one of MI. IIoover's associates
casually remarked of him the other
day, he "has a habit of looking
ahead"

Past. present and indicated futur'
remarks and acts OF many member'
of tho Purchasing Agents associa
ton make It appear that the pop
MAR "Indoor Sport" OF any membc
who cannot obtain tubular materia
is TO Lam the Pipe Broker" This
of course, IL not the actual slogan
adopted by these members--but
twist OF the tongue makes II SOUND
| slmilar.
Recently the Purchasing Agents
association met In the Municipal
auditorium and started n "barrage"
! against tho "Pipo Broker" and q
particular mill which seemed TO sup
ply considerable Of the material sold
by them. The past activities OF some
OF these members against the
Broker" make II appear that per-
haps this "barrage" s In reality a
"smoke screen" to cover up their
own shortcomings.
The cooperation of local banks
was requested. that Brokers" could
not clear their bills OF lading In
Tulsa--and Il Is rumored that a
Supply Company (who cannot de-
liver material under many months)
has agreed with the purchasing
agents to refuse credit to those COM
pariss who buy from 'Hroker."
II appears that the purchasing
agent who fails to deliver the goods
must convince his employer II is no
fault OF his and that he Is a neces-
eity to the company or he will be
"fired''-and have to go TO work for
n living. His method seems to be
to vlllify tho broker whom he calls a
pipe bootlegger" and to cuss the
mill who sells TO the broker-and
meanwhile appear to he striving with
heart soul and brain to earn his salt
in spite OF the adverse condi-
tions. (Thus many a good company
check is written most innocently.)
Now what is the real situation and
facts OF this war on the broker2
