the time would come when Vermont would
be an importer of butter and that this
would be determined somewhat by the
amount of oleomargarne tho farmers
used in their own families. Mr.. Bck-
fords words were not meant to imply
that he was advocating the use of oleo-
margarine in the families of farmers. On
the contrary, he is very much in favor
of the use of dairy butter, with no sub

NUMBER. PLEASE

The telephone girl sits in her chair
and listens to everyone, everywhere.
She hears all the gossip, absorbs all
the news, she knows who is happy and
who has the blues. She knows all our
sorrows, she knows all our joys; she
knows all the girls who are chasing
the boys. She's hep to our troubles
and wise to our strife; she knows
ev'ry man who is beating his wife.
She knows ev'ry time we are
out with the boys; she hears the ex-
cuse that each fellow employs. She
knows all the women who have a dark
past; she can pick out the joshers in
clined to be fast. In fact, there's a
secret meath each saucy curl of the
roguish eyed, smiling-voiced telephone
girl.
If the telephone girl would tell all
she knows. she would make Of our
friends the most bitter of foes. She
would SOW small wind that would
soon be a gale, engulf us in trouble
and land us in jail. She could let 60
story which (gaining in force)
would cause many women to get a
divorce; she could get all the
churches mixed up in fight and turn
ev'ry day into sorrowing night; in
fact, she could keep the whole town
in stew, if she'd tell a tenth part
of the things that she knew.
Our brain becomes dizzy and starts
in to whirl when we think what we
owe to the telephone girl.

THE BLOOD STRIKE

One of the strangest strikes on rec
ord occurred few days ago in New
York City. 1t was a strike of profes-
sional "blood-donors."
The supplying of blood to hospitals
for TRANSMISSION has become an or
ganized occupation, and is organized
apparently, like any other, with a
standard rate of pay. The members
of this organization, strong, healthy
men who can stand considerable
loss Of blood at frequent intervals
were formerly paid at the rate of $25
a pint for the pure fluid. Lately they
demanded an increase and the price
was raised to $35 a pint, then $40.
When they proceeded to demand $55
a pint, the hospitals refused to pay it,
and they walked out"
Their strike was stopped by the girl
nurses-or rather, by one of them.
This volunteer strike-breaker, Miss
Lillian Olga Jedlicka, student nurse
at the Flower Hospital, hearing of
the situation and learning of an
emergency case that needed blood
promptly offered to furnish pint of
her own for nothing. She did so, and
in two hours was attending clinic as
if nothing had happened. The other
nurses stood ready to follow her ex-
ample. That settled 1.-THE men re-
sumed their jobs at the old rate.

A little more virtue, little less
shame,

Are all that is needed to make the
world great.
A little more boosting, a little less

A little more trusting, little less

A little more patience in trouble and

A little less willing at times to COM

A little more kindness worked into

A little more honor little less

A little more service. a little less

A little more action, little less

A little more kindness by you and by

POPULATION

The federal census naturally
arouses new thoughts of civic and ma
tional greatness. Every city, town
and village is interested in knowing
whether it is passing it's rivals, and
eagerly awaits the earliest reports.
All city dwellers want to know the
relative rank of big cities. Every state
wants to know how it compares with
other states. And every American
wonders what the grand total will
show for the country as whole,
when the big job is finished some
months hence.
The pride that Americans have al.
ways taken in their country's numer-
ical growth is joined, in these latter
years, with feeling Of wonder, and
almost Of incredulity. A hundred
years ago the United States had
fewer people than the state Of New
York has now. Fifty years ago the
national population was less than the
present population of five states
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana, and Illinois which, great az
they are, were not dominating enough
to swing the last national election
And how small now seems the 191t
total of 92,757,0O0 peoplei Today
perhaps, we have 2O,000,O00 more thar
that. Which is to say that in on
decade we have added nearly as man!

BANK ADVERTISING

1t is believed by bankers generally
that the habit of advertising freely
and attractively in the newspapers
has done much to popularize banks
with the public. AS result, large
class of individuals who were former
~ disinclined to deal with banks now
not only deposit their money but turn
naturally to the bank as a reliable
business agent.
Newspaper advertising eon the part
of banks undoubtedly has done much
to remove the cloud of mystery which
overawed many possible depositor
in the old days, but it is not only in
the newspaper that the up-to-date
bank now does it's advertising. It's
windows are attractive with posters,
with terse epigrams on the value of
savings, and with piles of little coin
banks to encourage the small finan-
cier to hoard his pennies and nickels.
Live questions Of the day are often
taken up by the bank in readable
pamphlets and distributed among de-
positors and throughout the neigh
borhood. The housewife is given
hints as to the safe disposal of her
resultant savings. The foreigner sees
printed in his own tongue the story Of
what the bank can do for him.
The benefit Of this advertising tc
both bank and depositor is too oh.
vious to need explanation. Any agen.
cy which helps to bring the banks and
the people into closer contact works
like the quality of mercy, good to hin
who gives and him who takes.

HOME BUILDING CAMPAIGN

HOME BUILDING CAMPAlGN
The home is the worlds greatest
savings bank. Industry and thrift
are attributes of any man who owns a
plot Of ground and builds a home on
it.
Homes yield the highest interest
of any bank in the world. Besides
being a paying investment in a finan-
cial way, home creates greater earn
ing ability. The home owner is a
citizen of the community. He is in
terested in seeing property value in
crease. He is also better workman
1t is estimated that one million new
homes are needed in the United
States. Al realize to some extent
how urgent is the need for more
homes. Building is delayed in the
hope that soon labor conditions will
become more favorable.
Waiting for reduction in corstruc.
tion costs is wasting time, for prices
of materials are not likely to decline
until there is a reduction in wage
scales. Price of building materials is
made up of labor costs plus the cost
of raw material Production and
transportation of raw materials are
labor items. There can be no drop ir
selling prices without the correspond
ing drop in production and transpor.
tation costs.

GOTHAM MAKES RECORD CLEANUP
,"Men of Good Moral Character" Are
Set Back By Fines From SIS to
$1,000.

A record in collecting fines for
violation of the Nolstead act was set
in New York on June p when $50,
600 was taken i'll from bartenders
and saloonkeepers i'll penalties from
SIS to $3.50 each. Last week Federal
Judge Learned Hand offered to let
off with fines all first offenders who
would plead guilty to violations of
the law prior to June when Supreme
Court declared the measure constitu-
tional. Second offenders will have
to stand trial and if convicted they
will receive Jail sentences in addition
to the fine. In many cases it is eX
imposed also upon first offenders
who have sinned since June 7. 1t
appears that the officers have collect
ed evidence against a large number
of saloonsists in New York City but
did not bring these offenders into
court, awaiting the decision of the
Supreme Court. This policy seems
TO verify the opinion of one of the
leading New York newspapers that
one of the principal causes for law
violation was the feeling that existed
among saloonists and their friends
that Prohibition was but temporary.
There are now charges against 200
other first offenders.

During 1917 there was a decrease
of o29 ION" licenses, leaving total
of about S4,052 at the beginning Of
1919. 1t is computed that during 1918
the number of off licenses was re-
duced by 1872. On January /, 1918,
there were 1872 registered clubs, a
number less by $50 than the highest
total reached since the system of

Queensland is to have a vote on

in the event OF victory, the state
will have to wait five years before
Prohibition becomes operative, but as
there is no Initiative and Referendum

In New South Wales, the vote on

weekly. As an evidence of the grow

the halls are crowded and attend

political leaders in the recent cleo

The people are having so many
clumsy and lying statements put over
them by the liquor interests which
are so easily riddled, that repeatedly

American example is no longer be-

the wild and woolly Bolshevik reso-
