ment on the part of some one is to
blame.
Since it seems that there is no re-
lief in sight it might be if the prop
osition is publicly put up TO those who
are responsible for this continued mis-
management that-the innocent OF the
parties accused might be given the
opportunity to explain to the public
their claim of innocence leaving the
public to decide who the guilt party
might be. and what means are to be
used to correct the evil.
1t is certainly not a square deal that
citizens of Caldwell are getting in this
matter. They pay we'll for that which
they do not receive; besides suffer a
considerable loss each year in time
and money spent in the attempt 10
beautify their premises. There is nb
incentive for a citizen of Caldwell to
try and do his individual part in beau
tifying a home under the present mis-
management in the way the irrigation
water supply is handled
This article is inspired not to do in
justice to an innocent party, but that
a perpetual evil and nuisance might
be corrected.

speak up, and believe the people are
fair enough to punish only the guilt,

of needless money spending.

The arguments against the peace
resolution, reduced to a few words,
get down to this: That if man in the
White House wants to saddle any sort
OF burden on the American people that
ne sees fit, he can compel them to
remain in a state of war until they
yield to his demands. The mere state
ment of the case disposes of it. To
say that Congress cannot halt a war
after starting one is not common
sense.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Resolu-
tions demanding that Congress enact
laws providing for the canceling Of
the citizenship papers Of Americans
who go to foreign countries "to engage
in business outlawed in this country"
were adopted to-day by the American
section of the World Prohibition Fed
Grafton, meeting here in conjunction
with the International Congress
Against Alcoholism.
The resolutions also asked that such
persons be deprived of the protection
of the American government and that,
so ia as possible, they be restrained
from representing themselves as Amer
leans.
The resolutions said many American
brewers and distillers. who had been
Virtually expelled" here, were resum-
ing business in foreign lands, thereby
giving wrong impression Of the atti-
the liquor business.
Another resolution adopted by the
world federation warned foreign pro-
hibtion advocates to avoid the many
delays which attended the fight for
prohibition here. The resolution de-
clared that scores of different methods
of ending the sale Of liquor had been
tried in various parts Of the country,
but that the only effective method was

Message to Disabled Men

Disabled veterans of the World War,
in their convention to-day, received a
message of sympathy from the national
executive committee Of the Legion.
The New York delegates will arrive
tomorrow morning. Scventy-eight of
them, led by Wade II. Hayes, former
commander Of the Department Of New
York, will register at the Cleveland
Hotel.
Delegates from Missouri have started
an carly campaign to have the 1921
convention at Kansas City. Two mill
ion dollars has been raised for a war
memorial there. and it is promised that
it the Legion convcnes there next year
it will get the honor Of dedicating the
memorial.

ing to-day of all the national officers

and the allegations that The American
Legion Weekly is controlled by the Re-
publican National Committee.
LcEionneres are inclined to treat the
latter charge lightly. They say that
no political propaganda has appeared
il its columns, and therefore it Is un-
likely that the Legion Will take any
official notice of the criticism.
Figures compiled today show that
while there are nearly 100000 vet
Grams enrolled, there arc only about
$4,000 paid-uD members. The conven-
tion will represent only the latter.
Another question is that of the rep
resentation to be given to legion bodies
in foreign countries. Some of these
have been unable to get their national
dues to headquarters within the time
limit. 1t is likely, however, that the ex-
ccutive committee will grant them the
privilege of the floor. Latest figures

To the Patrons of the st. Johnsbury Gas Company.

Owing to the advance price in the cost of every
thing entering into the manufacture of Gas, it has
become necessary that advance prices for the
same, and in fairness to patrons, we herewith,
submit some of the reasons why we are forced to
make this advance.
On Dec. 81, 1919 our contracts for Gas Oil and
Coal expired On Jan. 1, 1920, there sharp
advance in the price of Gas Oil and today we are
paying 100 per cent more for oil than year ago and
Gas Oil is one of the principle ingredients in the
manufacture of Water Gas. Soft coal has advanced
Fl per cent, there has also been advance in the
price of hard coal.
We have known since Jan. /, 1920, that it would
be impossible to continue to furnish gas at $500 per
thousand Gu. it., unless the price of raw material
was lowered and we have waited until now hoping
that the warm weather would release more fuel oil,
and the future outlook regards both the supply
and the price on the above is not encouraging. You
will perhaps readily understand the situation
if you will read the following letter received re-

see is not only question of price, but supply.

We find that the town of Springfield Vermont,

There was one of two things which we were fore
