The complete census figures gives
Vermont's population in 1920 as S52,-
421. The figures for 1910 were $685.
956.
Mostly the rural towns show LOSSES,
while most Of the gains are in indus
trial villages and cities. Windsor
county shows the largest gain and
most Of it was made in Springfield and
Windsor, where industrial enterprises
have fourished. The largest gain in
the State was made in Governor-elect
Hartness' town Of Springfield The
heaviest losses are shown in Rutland
and Washington counties, and are ac-
counted for by the slump in the gran
tie, marble and slate industries, which
were crippled by the war The fact
that the canvass was taken early in
the year instead Of in June, as hereto
fore, worked TO the disadvantage Of
Vermont.
The ~ largest towns and cities in
the State are: Burlington, 22,799; Rut-
land, 14,954; Barre City, 10,09S; Ben
nington, 1882; St Johnsbury, S,701;

Falls), 6,231; Newport City, 4,976.
Thirty-two of the 247 towns md
cities contain more than half the pop
ulation Of the State The population Of
Burlington lacks only 227 Of equaling
that of the three counties of Grand Isle,
Essex and Lamoille. There are 151
towns, each Of which contain fewer

Busy Days For President Elect Hard

What is Senator Harding doinS
these days" asked Ruth as she anc
her brother Jack were walking alons
with Uncle Ted.
These are mighty busy days fos
our next President" was Uncle Ted's
reply. "You see he has only been bach
home for short time after his vaca-
ton in Texas and Panama and his
trip to Washington for the opening
Of Congress. His two days stay in the
National Capital was a mighty busy
time for him, as he not only attended
the opening session Of the Senate,
where he made a mighty fine speech,
but he was busy every minute talking
with the various big Senators and
other men who will help him run this
country on a business-like basis for
the lext four years at least.
"And ! want to tell you kiddies, the
newspaper men in Washington are
mighty fond Of Senator Harding, and
that means a whole lot. He talks 70
them just as one Of them, for, as have
told you before, he is a newspaper
man himself While waiting at the
Capitol in Washington on Monday,
December 6, he talked 70 them and
told many funny things about his eI-
periences when he was struggling with
his paper in Marion, Ohio, long, long
before he even thought Of being q
Senator, and certainly long before he
ever dreamed Of being President"
"Whom did he talk to at the Cap
itol ?" asked Jack.
"He talked with all the Republican
leaders in the Senate. Speaker Gillett
Of the House Of Representatives call
ed, too, as did the British Ambassador.
Sir Auckland Geddes IN fact there
was a steady stream of callers con
gratulatinv the next President and
coufc-ring vith hin regarding import

"Can you tell us about what he said

Ruth

A REAL CHRISTMAS PRESENT

The holiday season with its joys and
its problems is upon us. What shall
we dc to add to the happiness Of the
occasion Each one Of us would like
not cnly TO wish our friends a Merry
ChriEtmas and a Happy New Year,
but to give them one We cannot do
this by mems of ill-colsidered pres
ents. Thoughtless gifts cause the
January ash can TO bulge with debris.
Only when our gifts have lasting
meaning do they carry the true mes
ssge Of goodwill which Is the spirit of
real giving.
We can give happiness and content
ment and safety for the future as well
as pleasure for the monet. Such gifts
are within reach Of all. They are TO
be found in the Savings Securities Of
the United States Government. From
the 25 cent Thrift Stamp TO the $1,000
Treasury Savings Certificate, they will
carry with them not only the greet
ings Of the season but happiness for
years to come. In presenting the

affixed, you bestow not only a present
but habit which will grow in value
as the days pass, for he will wish 20
fiji the eard. That little gift will have
grown wonderfully before another
Christmas comes around, and the re-
cipient win be on the way to life OF
independence.
In recommending these lasting
gifts, the Savings Division Of the
Treasury does not suggest that a
single American curtail his Christmas
giving. II suggests only that he
broaden it to include this present
which will bring future well-being TO
those he loves.
Thrift Stamps, Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates will be
on scle throughout the year 1921. In
the sale of Government
Savings Securities, the Government is
giving the opportunity to every man,
woman and child in the land through
the coming year to enjoy the happi-
ness, prosperity and contentment
which is found in financial independ-
ence and security for the future.

P-esident-Elect Harding showed his
great respect for that body in which
he has been such hard worker.
Wont he be better President be-
cause he has been Senator'" asked
Jack
Exactly. Jack In all those things
which keep the wheels Of our govern
mont moving, the President and Con
gress must be the last ones TO decide.
IL they do not work together the
country must suffer. II they do work
together and consult each other, then
the country will receive the best from
both Because the next President has
been in the Senate he understands the
ways in which the Senate must work
and naturally when he ats in the
Presidential chair he will be equipped
in the best possible way 10 bring
;bout peace and harmony and com
plete understanding.
Now, another thing, kiddies. So
long rs Senator Harding has been In
the United States Senate he has al
ways insisted that the rights Of the
Senate should be recognized. He still
thinks so, but in his speech he also
showed that he is going TO insist that
the rights Of the President also be
kept in mind at all times. With such
a view Of the situation we should have
one OF the best Presidents the country
has ever known. And II any Of the
enemies Of Republicanism think they
can continue TO talk of the Senate
oligarchy,' of which Gov. Cox talked
so much during the campaign, they
are going 20 be disappointed, because
Senator Harding will not LET the next
administration be controlled by the
Senate. He wants the Senate 10 help
him as he will help the Senate, but
he does not want the Senate TO control
the White House any more than he
will try to control the Senate"
"Did Senator Harding talk with
President Wilson while he WIS In
Washington Z" asked Rsth.
"No, Ruth, he did not, but IL was
not our next Presidents fault. Just
before he reached Washington the
newspaper men were told by the White
House that the President would be
glad TO see the next President. Nat
urally Senator Harding saw this in the
papers but he did NOT receive direct
invitation from the President He
didn't ignore the matter, but went
more than half way and left his card

P0NzI DEVELOPMENT
WORRIES SPECTATORS

BOSTON, MASS, Aug 10 Specu-
lators who brought up many of the
notes of Charles Ponzi's company
during the recent rush of investors to
withdraw their funds appeared today
to be persons most disturbed by the
suspension of payments resulting from
the order of State Bank Commission
er Joseph c. Allen, prohibiting the
Hanover Trust Company from honor
ing Ponzi's checks.
The spectators in many cases had
been holding the notes for the ex-
piration of As days, at the end of
which time they had expected to col
lect so per cent interest, and it was
claimed that many of them would be
hard hit if Ponzi does not resume
payment.
This Ponzi insisted he would do on
Friday.
Il have directed the Hanover Trust
Company not to pay any more checks
Of Charles Ponzi, the Securities Ex-
change company or any of his agen-
cies, as the account of Lucy Marpelli,
trustee, against which these checks
are drawn, now is overdrawn."
Although Mr.. Ponzi claims that his
dealings in International coupons have
been conducted upon a very large
scale aggregating millions of dollars
the investigation has disclosed no
thing to confirm his statement" said
Mr. Allen.

PROBE AT MILTON
BANK NEARING END

Investigation of the affairs of the
Farmers bank Of Milton, Ind, which
went into the hands of a receiver a
few weeks ago, is now being brought
to a close and. it is said, the receiver
may be able TO submit his report to
Judge Bond of the circuit court with
in the next week or 10 days.
There is no indication as to what
the report will reveal. Patrons of
the bank are anXiously awaiting this
report, for they are hopeful that a
settlement of claims will be made
very soon after the received concludes
his work.
A large number of the depositors of
the Farmers bank have been finan.
cially embarra ssed by the closing OF
the institution owing to the fact that
it will not be possible to withdraw
their money until the receiver is
ready to make a settlement of the
claims.
