Girl On 200 Mile
Hike to Win Wager

Mrs Grace Campbell of North
Union street, Burlington, whose
husband paid the supreme sacrifice
in the late war, passed through
St. Johnsbury Friday on the last
leg Of a hiking tour which is TAX
ing her from Portland, Me-, to St.
Adams, VT. Mrs. Campbell left
Portland at 10 a. M, Saturday,
September II.
The pretty young lady hiker
started this unique journey as the
result of argument with her bro
Their which she decided to settle
satisfactorily. He made the state
ment that no woman could start,
with only $1,000 in her possession
on a hike of 200 miles through the
white mountains. He stipulated
that his sister, if she accepted his
wager, was not to ask for lift
but that if a ride was offered she
might accept it.
Ms. Campbell is recovering
from a serious operation perform
ed recently at the Mary Fletcher
hospital in Burlington and she
told a Caledonian- Record reporter
that aside from the fact that she
was going TO beat her brother, she
found the great outdoors was the
best of all medicines.
During the world war Mrs.
Campbell was stationed in France
for nearly three years as a Red
Cross worker. She has an envia-
bic war record as also did her
husband have.

PRESS COMMENT
Ways in Which Time is Stole

ways IN winch lime is Stolen
The real time-thief is not Pro-
craStination, notorious as that
old rascal is. The man who put
off until tomorrow what he should
have done today is more apt to
rcfraud himself than others. He
drifts into position, where no
one any longer expects anything
of HIM. He ceases to count, and
so it doesn't matter greatly what
he does with his time.
The time-thief who needs to be
squelched is the person who steals
the time of other persons. He may
do it by habitually failing to keep
an appointment until ten minutes
II adIl an hour after the designa-
ted time. If he is an executive, he
may steal time by having his stem

telephone for him and then keep
ing them waiting until he is
ready to speak; or he may do it
by always being ain a conference"

PHILIPPINES
HAVE GREAT
FOREST RESERVES
Gov. Wood Believes In
dustry Can Be Greatly
Developed

MANILA, Sept. 26-There is
enough timber in the Philippine
Islands to take care of most of
the lumber industry of the Far
East, according to Major General
Leonard Wood, who has just ira
versed the archipelago from
Northern Luzon TO the Nisayan
Islands.
Few people appreciate the
enormous resources in the islands
in the way of lumber, much of it
of the most valuable kind" he
said. Nearly 230,0OO,OOO feet of
1t was cut in 1920, of which in the
neighborhood of 100000 was
exported.
I'm ordinary years there ought
to be an enormous amount avail
for export. Now is the time TO mi
tate those wise forestry measures
which would insure the replace
ment of the trees cut. These for
csts are full of the most valuable
woods, and there is possibility Of
great development in the produc-
ton of rubber, camphor, etc, also
an enormous amount of other for
est and jungle products.
"Lumbermen in the island ought
to unite so as to have better mar
keting Of their products abroad
In other words, here is great in
dustly which can be developed on
sound lines and reproduction of
the forest assured"
w. Cameron Forbes, former
Governor General of the Phil
ippine Islands, predicted a great
future for the lumber inductry of
the islands. Hesaid:
"On my way to the Philippine
Islands for the first time in 1904,
| stopped at the forestry exhibit
Of the Philippine government ut
the st. Louis fair. was literally
carried off my feet by the beauty
and splendor of the Philippine
woods there displayed. Right then
and there | made up my mind that
it was one of my ambitions TO
have certain rooms in whatever
house | might build in the future,
finished with especially fine pam
els of selected Philippine woods.
During my 10-year stay in the
island, collected consider
able quantityof these woods, took
the risk of their not standing the
American climate, and sent them
home. The wood has stood wonder
fully well and seem to be good to-
day as when first put in and is
the admiration of everybody who
visits my house just outside OF
Boston. / am sure that the lumber
industry of the Philippines has a
marvellous future"
A. F. Fischer, director Of for
estry of the Philippine Island, es-
Inmates there are 72.224 square
miles of standing timber in the
Philippines, and that on this area
the stand of timber is 100000 O00-
900 board feet. This timber which
is owned by the government is es-

The Opportunity il the Provision
Trade


For the past year there has been
much complaint about the price
OF meat and other provisions.
" Wholesale values have been great
- reduced, yet in the majority OF
places retail prices continue hiph.
Probably one big reason is, that
the retail meat trade has not
learned TO advertise as well a.
other lines.
The fact that prices are high
does not necessarily prove that
profiteering exists. A trade may
be split up into a lot of little shops
which do too small a business to
do it economically. So the public
has to pay a high price, not to
enrich the merchant, but to pay his
abnormally high operating and
overhead costs.
The dry goods trade and many
other lines have done business
economically through advertising.
Enterprising men WOULD thereby
acquire such n volume of trade
that the charge per article for
overhead cost, clerk hire, rent, etc
was small.
Meanwhile in many places, the
provision business had been divi-
ded into a number of small stores,
none of them big enough to do
business at a minimum of cost. In
such city there is a fine chance
for an enterprising man to devcl-
op his business through advertis-
lng. BY making moderate prices
and telling the public constantly
what he has, he should within q
year double or ripple his business.
That will enable him to do bust
ness so much more economically,
that he can make more money on
lower prices.
Chain stores have obtained a
big hold in many places in the gro
Gerry business, as the result Of
failure of such stores to advertise
as they ought to. Probably the
reason why chain stores have not
obtained any such hold in the dry
goods trade, is that dry goods
merchants are usually good adj
vertisers, as the result of which
they build up permanent good
will and secure themselves from
competition.
