During the early trading today we
had a moderate amount of profit-taklng,
which made the market look just little
uncertain for a short while, Tut, as has
been the case frequently during the past
fe " months. the slight reaction here and
there proved TO be very tempting, ana
buyjng orders appeared in sufficient vol
ume to again start the market upward.
With oil stocks taking the place OF
prominence some former favorites, dor
mant for the past few weeks, again
moved forward, some of them establish
ing new high record prices
1t is of course, advisable at this time,
as well as during all big markets. TO
pay close attention to technical condl-
lions, and at times when short cover
ing is an important factor in an ad-
vance it becomes a matter of decided
advantage to long to sell portion or
his holdings and thus be in stronger
position to take advantage Of the re-
actions.
But this does not mean that the ad-
vance is over, or that a bearish posi-
ton is justified. Far from it.
We are merely in the first stages OF
what will likely be as big a market as
we have ever had. There are great changes
going on in this world which will be OF
vast benefit to commercial and financial
interests. and the stock market is the
logical place to discount the coming
benefits.
We continue to look forward with con-
idence and whenever we get n reaction
advantage notice should be taken OF IL
and stocks accumulated.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Reports of
better spot demand in the South gave
tone TO the contract market, but there is
nothing very impressive i'll the volume
or in the days fluctuatiOn. So far as we
can see, the market is becoming narrower,
public interest is decreasing, and We will
probably run into a market Of daily
changes without getting out of the mod
crate size range.
1t therefore seems to us ina lvisable, to
take any very strong position on either
side Of the market.
Trading opportunities is about an that nat
we will have, and those who prefer the
buying side will in time be favored with
a more desirable basis on which to start

American Revolution, was held in the
Unitarian vestry in Montpelier on
Saturday, March II, with large num-

care for one orphan in the Near East.
The chapter is also caring for one
French orphan among its varied chart

A new danger of the highways has
arisen through the development of the
holdup method OF robbery. The road
bandits have become so numerous and
their operations have become so bold
that drivers of horses and automobiles
are in more or less spprehensive mood
when they use certain highways; and
they picture all unidentified persons
on the highways at night as robbers.
The result is that innocent parties may
become victims to actions based on
that fear Such proved to be the case
near Salem, Mass, when occupants
Of q disabled automobile attempted to
prevent an oncoming automobile from
running them down, the result being
that the driver of the moving machine,
suspecting a robbery design, put on
full power and ran down and killed
On innocent party. No great blame

| tit To undertake the matter on a small
scale at least Moreover, there are
other towns IN Vermont which may be
expected to take up the same proposal
in due season when the advantages of
the scheme are set forth. Vermont
laws now permit municipal corpora
| tons to embark in such an enterprise
as creating municipal forest, such
permission being founded on consider,
alton of state and local welfare. A mu-
nicipal forest, to our way of thinking,
is very desirable adjunct of corpor-
ation existence and activity, IN the
first place municipal forest, while
not perhaps very extensive, sets an eN'
ample of activity in the right direction
The forests Of Vermont, as well as
of the entire continent, are being re-
dueed in alarming fashion. There IS
continual cutting of trees, with very
little effort along the line of reforesta-
! ton except the natural growth, which
does not by any means keep up with
the slashing operations. If municipal
corporations should embark in the work
of developing tracts of trees they
would no doubt encourage private eti-
gems and other corporations to activi-
ty along the same line; and thus we
gradually would develop a wide spread
policy of rcforestation, the results of
which would go far toward making up
| for the tremendous loss in timber and
wood which Vermont is suffering each
year. Therefore, it is the force of ex.
ample, of incentive, that commends the
proposition to establish municipal
/ forest.
Secondly, there is feature of self
gain which commends the idea of mu-
nicpal forest. Many municipal and
town corporations now find themselves
in possession of tracts of land which
are of little or no source OF income
to the municipalities, being largely
waste land or pastures. The land is
doing no particular good. That being
the case, it would be possible TO turn
such land into revenue producing in.
yestment without very heavy initial
| ka
made simply by setting ont few hum
dred, or a few thousand trees of the
genus peculiar to the locality. Having
done that, all the municipality would
have to do would be TO await the re-
suits, with no further outlay Of time
or money. Nature would do the rest.
In the course of score or thirty or
forty years the municipality would find
itself the possessor of valuable tract
of wood and timber in place of nothing
but waste land, as would have been
the case If the trees were not set out.
Then, under a systematic cutting Of
trees, the municipality would lind a
sizeable income at hand at reasonable
intervals, the income enabling the mu-
ncipality TO reduce taxation to con-
siderable degree. The public Golfers
would be enriched markedly
Those two considerations, ~ the
force of example toward reforestation
and (2) the good investment, combine
to make the idea of municipal forest
for many towns Of Vermont worth
considering We shall expect to see the
idea develop into action in St, Johns
bury and in other places as the people
come to realize that they can put their
waste land to work.
