1t is different today.
With nearly 100000 regis
tration ahead for the year 1920,
we see the industry still In its
infancy.
There can be no point of satu-
ration short Of the transporta-
ton needs of the country.
Q y 0
What are The transportation
needs of America passenger
and freight - and when win
they be met?
That is a question our chill
dren's grandchildren will still
be asking.
So, with motor vehicles as
with tires, there will be no limit
to the demand for the most fit.

Some manufa cturer an

Registrations had already

The short sighted dealer shook
his head and said it couldn'tlast.
He hurried to get his orders

was too late.
Everything hinged on quick

THE TRUE SPIRIT.

Senator Harding is the recipient of
hundreds Of letters and kilograms con-
graduating him upon his nomination,
and Dledging support in his campaign
for election. They are all Indicative
of the solid front the Republican party
will present in its contect with Democ-
racy and presage a sweeping victory
for its candidate next November. The
letter received by Senator Harding
from Congressman Martin b. Madden
of Illinois is typical of the sentiments
expressed by his other friends and ad-
mirers. Mr. Madden wrote:
"My dear sir: Your nomination for
President is the consummation of an
arden wish | have long entertained.
Your election, Of which | have no
doubt, will bring the party back to its
normal place in the nations life. iWs-
dom, patriotism, courage and unselfish
devotion were never more needed than
now. Cooperation between the execu-
tive and legislative branches of the
Government in a constructive program
should result in reduction of expen-
SEES "a lowering of the tax rate, the
creation Of confidence,th removal of
the existing feeling of unrest, the res
toration Of normal conditions and the
establishment of the party once more
in its position of former glory
"The responsibility is great, There
is much important work to be done
This should command our most I'M
selfish efforts. | place myself unse-
servedly at your service. not only in
the campaign. but also in the work
which will follow your inauguration
1.-THE nations honor, its prosperity,
its peace, its progress. the happiness
and contenment of its people should
be the watchword. We should dedi-
cate ourselves to the accomplishment
of these purposes"

days later than with U.S. On this oc-
casion the Piece dc resistance was
roast pig, a young animal of about
80 pounds being roasted by the boys.
The roasting was done in their ma
tive fashion, out Of doors on spit.
and the pig was served with an ac-
compartment of the proper things,
all being done by the boys them
selves The faculty of the school
and their wives were invited to the
feast, which they greatly enjoyed, as
we'll as the singing, games and dane
ing which followed. These young
men arc becoming interested in AM
erican life, and acquiring the English
language rapidly. They are all good
linguists, as well as fine scholars in
other respects, and the people here
arc beginning to know and like
them, and take a great interest IN
their ways. Such national inter-
changes ought to work out for the
good Vi both countries,

RADICAL GETS
WARM RECEPTION
IN ST. JOHNSBURY
Leaves on Midnight Train
After Mysterious Call
Upon Woman Here

While Brotherhood classes were
discussing patriotic themes at their
Bible classes Sunday and one of our
pastors had for his evening theme
the subject "His Honor, an Ameri-
can," there was the liveliest discus
sion going on at the st. Johnsbury
House throughout the afternoon and
evening on Americanism that was
ever heard in this town. 1t all start
ed from the very untimely and irli-
tating remarks of George NJ. Ross of
Quincy. Mass, who certainly started
something when he declared that he
did not believe in God of Jesus
Christ. There was quite a bunch
of tiaevling men in the hotel and
they not only resented his remarks,
but more than one of the men told
him just what they thought of such
4 man in very vigorous language.
The Quincy agitator, for he was
all of that, had some very strong
opinions on the Mexican situation,
saying that he was a personal friend
of Villas and had interests in oil
properties in the Mexican Republic.
Asked if he was Bolshevik he start
ed in on his definition of Russian
Bolshevikism, which he said was ma
jority rule, and declared that he
had heard Emma Goldman, but she
said nothing in her speech against
the. government. The discussion
continued throughout the evening
with more or less interruptions, but
at no time did Nj. Ross say anything
that would warrant his arrest for
REASONABLE utter, noes, according to
the testimony of the men who were
interviewed Mondpy morning.
One of the travelling men, d. B.
Coburn has been doing volunteer
work with the Department of Justice
and when he asceltained that Mr..
Ross planned to leave town on the
night train he found Officer Wallace
and just before midnight they went

with him. Mr.. Campbell questioned

Local Expenses as Result
of Every-mcmber Canvass

missionary purposes. Extensive re-
pairs 20 the church property necessi-

and the church now has one OF the
most beautiful worship rooms IN the
state. About $4,000 have been eX-
pended in local home expenses. The
every family canvass recently made
by the men of the church resulted IN
a 100 per cent increase in the week
" income for local expenses, and
"a two hundred per cent increase IN
the weekly income for missions. FL
nancially, the future OF the church
was never SO bright.
The development of the Sunday
school under the efficient leadership
of Miss Arabelle Parker has been

1872. Mention should be made Of the
service of Miss Bertha Gibb, Super
intendent of the Primary Depart
n,cnt. The mems class under the
name OF Baracca, taught by MI Al
len has had fine average attendance
through the whole year
The pastors report for the year
shows the preparation and delivery
of 1876 sermons, 50 prayer meeting
talks, 5S1 pastoral calls, y funerals
ard 13 weddings.
The church clerks report shows a
resident membership of 1876 and
