CROSSINGS lMpAssAsLE
Many OF Them Difficult For Men To
Cross Without Boats

Editor of the Banner: | wish to
call attention to the streets in muddy
weather, particularly to the condition
of the cross walks on the side streets,
In number of places, among which
are the cross walks at North and Riy-
er streets. River and Lincoln streets
and County and Lincoln streets.
At these and other places the mud
is SO bad at times that while 1t is diff
fieult for a man to pass II is almost
impossible for women to do so. And
yet. women have TO go to the corner
evenings to do trading and school
children are compelled by law to at
tend school must wade through the
mud to do so. 1t would seem as
though the street commissioners
should make some effort to keep the
cross walks clear,

Rheumatism for Years
Lyit Him Helpless and
Unable 10 WOrA--Gured

Mr. James H Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this
terrible disease left him helpless and
unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of
caseless study, that no one can be free
from rheumatism until the accumu-
lated impurities. commonly called uric
acid deposits, were dissolved In the
Joints and muscles and expelled from
the body. ~ !. IA
with this idea in mind he consulted
physicians made experiments and
finally compounded prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism from
his system
He freely gave his discovery TO
others who took It, with what, might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf-
ferers everywhere know about his dis
covery through the newspapers WI l.

suit Involving Title to Spring Be-
fore Supreme Court.
The case OF Charles Haldiman Of
Bennington against Frank C. Oyerton
of New York was argued at special
term Of the Supreme Court which
met at Rutland this morning. A few
years ago the defendant Overton
bought a farm in Manchester which
he has since occupied as a summer
nome. In connection with it he made
some improvements on the spring
which is located on a farm owned by
llr. Hadiman, claiming that the
spring was an appurtenance of the
defendants property.
Haldiman brought suit against
Overton and the case was tried at
Manchester before Judge Harrie B.
Chase last spring. Judge Chase de-
.ided that the spring was an appur.
tenance of the Overton place and dis.
missed the plaintiffs suit. The
Plaintiff appealed and his appeal was
argued at Rutland this morning. G.,

1t may be said quite definitely thas
the United States is not prepared TO

Meeting
SUPERINTENDENT TO HELP

There was a special meeting of the
board of water commissioners Mon.
day evening when Harry =. Jones.
civil engineer, appeared before the
board and made certain proposals rel
atiye to prospective addition to
the village water supply.
At the conclusion OF the meeting q
tentative agreement had been reach
ed for a preliminary inspection OF
the territory between the reservoir
and the sources Of supply which will
be made by Mr.. Jones and the super
intendent, Grover G. Lyons.
This inspection viii be made for
the purpose of obtaining data and a
rough estimate OF the expense that
would be entailed by the construction
Of an add tional pipe line from source
to reservoir.
The information obtained In this in
mission TO the annual village meet

convinced that the expense OF hauling

CEASED when sleds could he used in
stead of wheels.
The need for additional water has
been forcefully impressed upon the
commissioners by the experiences OF
the recent summer but this need is
nc new subject to them. Three years
ago they attempted to bring the mat
ter before the voters but were not
successful. Since then the need has
been increasing because OF indus.
trial and residential growth and has
reat.'ed a stage Wherein action OF
some nature is imperative.

PETROLEUM IDNUSTRY SOUND

The Federal Trade Commission has just issued sum-
 mary of it's report the Pacific coast petroleum industry
 After all that one has heard about combination to control oil prices the report fails to show any such tend ency nor there any intimation to such condition ist The report also shows that while recent earnings of leading companies have been very good the earnings in 1914 and 1915 far from satisfactory considering the risk involved in the business.
 Conditions in the California petroleum industry and it's profits and losses not exceptional compared to other sections of the United Stated.
 As to the future, the commission recommends that the active support of the government be given those gagged in the oil industry to develop production in foreign counres that methods of drilling for petroleum and the utilization of petroleum products and their substitutes should subject of special study technologcal and economic aspects with view to conserving the supply that the great importance of information regarding changes in industrial and commercial conditions in the oil suggests the need of making provision for having such information currently collected and reported for the use of Congress, the public and the industry.

BIG CHIEF IS LEGION BOSS
Only FuII-FIedged Indian at Head of an Ex-SerVice Mems Organization
 in America.

Maj. A. B. Welch of Mandan, N. D., is the only full-fledged Indian chief and commander of an American Legion post in America. He is wearing the of ticial dress of a head chief of the Sioux, which he was authorized to as sume when he was adopted by their great chief, John Grass, many years ago. He is now the duly elected chief of the Sioux, in addition to his duties as commander of the Gilbert S. Fur ness post of the Legion at Mandan.
 A veteran of the Spanish-American war and a participant in the Mexican border expedition, as well as an au- thority on customs, sports and ceremo- nies of the Indians, citizens of North Dakota were eager that Major Welch should lead battalion. of Indians to France. Major Welch volunteered to do so. but his offer was refused by the War department.
 Nevertheless, a number of Indians were included in the detachment of men which Major Welch took to France in December, 1917. He served upon the staff of Gen. Hunter A. Liggett and on Armistice day was with the artil- lery of the Third division, south of Se dan. When he arrived in Germany he was named as officer in charge of civil affairs in the COblenz area, which pO- sitiOn he held until the divisions came back to the United States in Septem- ber 1919.
