for the ninety-seventh. During those
next few months, the war department
plans to finish the work OF assigning
reserve officers to the various units of
these three New England divisions;
and on July next it will take up the
work Of assembling the non-com-
missioned and enlisted personnel.
For many decades to come, the de-
Tense of the nation must rest upon the
shoulders of Americas citizens soldiers
The regular army to-day and the
national guard are but handful in
numbers. In the event of war the re-
serve armies must bear the real brunt
of the burden Of national defense. The
war department has been quick to rec
ognize this fundamental truth, it has
with commendable initiative, it has
laid the time of peace the framework
for an effective national mobilization.
The reserve armies now in process Of
formation constitute peoples army,
recruited and differed from the Ameri-
can people, and dedicated to their serv-.
vice. The reserve divisions merit the
fullest measure Of public support; and
we feel confident that New England
will yield to no other section of the
United States in the backing she will
give in the coming years to her re-
serve divisions the seventy sixth, the
ninety fourth and the ninety seventh.

Vermont As a Vacation Resort.

1t has been a. prosperous vacation
season for the owners OF hotels and
summer cottages in Vermont. The pub
licity bureau of the Green Mountain
state recently made survey of its
mountain and lake resorts and the re-
suit goes far to dispel the idea that
the business depression seriously d.
minished the volume of summer bust
ness. On the contrary, in some in
stances it is reported that this has
been better than the preceding season.
Boston Transcript.
1t would be interesting to know how
many people have spent the summer in
the various resorts among the noun.
tains and by the lakes of Vermont this
year. The total would without doubt be
surprising. While the state has no ma
tion-wide attractive spot, like the beach
resorts OF some other New England To-
calities TO which throngs of visitors
flow every year, it has wide variety
OF ideal places by the mountains and
lakes offering rest and quiet TO those
who seek for that rather than for bois-
ferrous and garish outings. In conse
quence, there is scarcely village or
hamlet which does not entertain dur
ing the summer more or less visitors
from far and near. Many Of them are
the children OF old residents, who make
an annual pilgrimage back to the
scenes Of childhood, and whose faces
are greeted each returning year with
smiles Of welcome from the inhab-
itants. Besides these, there is a con-
tinually increasing tide of strangers
who are finding unexpected pleasure in
discovering the beauty of this Switzer-
land of America. 1t is not too much to
say, that the Green Mountain state
stands alone in the New England sis
terhood in its mountain and water
scenery. Not so rugged and sublime as
some, not so wild and primitive as
others, not so full of historical re.
miniscences as still others, it has
softened beauty, a finished exterior,
quiet loveliness, a peaceful setting, an
of attractions unsurpassed.
These are the things which draw the
visitor from abroad, and once having
thrown her spell around him, holds him
here against all outside appeals.-New-
port Express and Standard.

proceedings over to highly paid agents
with instructions to do just about as
they please and then, when the bills
come in, stare trifle at the stagger-
ing figures but draw their checks to
cover the amount or see to it that the
bills are paid. In the Newberry case
the total amount was placed by the
lowest estimate as $lss,56S for the pri-
mary alone, that being estimated by
the minority of the committee. We
quite agree with the minority report
that the expenditure of such sum
of money made the campaign look
more like an auction than an election;
and we are inclined to believe that
the American public is disposed to
frown upon any such lavish expendi-
ture Of money to acquire a nomination
or an election for any office unless 1t
be that of president of the United
States. If official position is to be
acquired by such means the nation.
might as well adopt the dollar sign AS
the national emblem, write a new con-
stitution based on the majesty Of mon
ey and place figure Of gold in the
White House. There ought to be sharp
rebuke to the lavish use of money IN
American political life; and the time is
just as opportune now as it ever
will be.

THE DOLLAR AS A NATIONAL
EMBLEM.

The majority report Of the Senate
committee on privileges and election
on the Ford-Newberry senatorial con
test in Michigan back in 1918 asserts,
among other findings. that 1T lthe
money spent in behalf of Newberry's
candidacy was spent without the
knowledge or consent of Truman H.
Newberry, for publicity and for ordi-
nary campaign purposes and exPendi-
lures which are perfectly familiar TO
every man who has been candidate
for Office. and which are generally re-
garded a. both necessary and prop

According to the advertising manag

According TO the advertising msnag-
er of a large mail order house in Chi
cago, he receives the newspapers from
nearly all the country districts of the
United States and when he finds a
newspaper that is but meagrely pat
ronized by the local merchants he i'm
mediately foods that territory with
advertising matter of his house sent

bury CALIFORNIAN points out, the moral
for the home merchants is to advcr
tise more extensively and to keep ii
up If they do not care TO 60 up against
the competition of the big ma order
houses. 1t is certain that a hustling,
live trading center, made so largely
by advertising. does not offer very al
Turing prospects to the mail order
houses.

CURRENT COMMENT
Prices On Monuments.

There has been a great deal of dis
cussion for long time relating TO
the matter Of wholesale prices Of
monuments and the possibility OF
their reduction. Now within the last
sixty days we have learned of 20
per cent cut from the ST. Cloud pro-
ducers and within the past month Of
another one amounting to Is per cent
from the Barre district. st. Cloud
open shop manufacturers started the
ball rolling by reducing wages 25 per
cent and passed the saving along to
the retail trade. According to our
understanding the Barre manufacturers
have as vet been unable to reduce the
wage scale SO that the burden Of their
reduction in prices must be borne
soley by the manufacturers. One OF
the big quarry operators in Barre has
announced that there will be no re-
duction in price of stock from its
quarries, so that it appears now as
though at both st. Cloud and Barre
the market has descended to its bot
tom level for some time to come, and
it should have the effect Of stimulat-
ing business. Most retail dealers still
have on hand large amount of stock
but most of it is of the more expensive
class, while the recent demand has
been for monuments of lower price.
The latter class is not held in very
large quantities by the average retail
dealer and many of them have been
in need of replenishment for several
months, but dealers would not buy on
account of the instability of the
market. The recent change in the sit
uation ought to give the retail dealer
chance for argument with his pros
pective customer and we believe that
win be gradual upward trend of
business at the wholesale end

sidered that young men were the
only species who occasionally got
too fresh, and . gals one best bet
WAS to remind him Of his sister,
which, In the melOdrama, at least,
seemed TO have q power OF imDpe-
diste reform, and he became al that
o hero or refined villain should.
But, alas, I'm this day and age,
when no young man is safe with
yamps, things have changed about
bit. and II In often the young man
who reminds the Maynard miss that
he wouldn't like TO see his sister do
50 or such, and IL works about rs
well this way as Il did that.
Only the other day ! overheard .
certain darish dame suggest . wild
Joy ride to . chap, and he said that
he would not take her to such q
place because he wouldn't want his
sister to 70 there.
Lately I've heard young fellows
put UP the prettlest sort Of sermons
TO certain girls to get them to give
up cigarettes and makeup. and
