The feature of the money market was
not the AZ per cent. call money rate,
which prevailed in the New York Stock
Exchange. or the to Az per cent. rates
which prevailed outside, but tho fac.
that lending institutions were disposed
to offer time funds more freely. A
large amount of business was done On
Wednesday at ) per cent. for ninety
days on all Industrial and mixed COL
lateral and n substantial amount was
done at that rate yesterday. Although
bankers were more keen to lend time
money at 5 per cent. brokers found n
light demand. Consequently 4 smaller
amount than might have been loaned
was actually negotiated. One loan re-
ported yesterday was for five months

Car Turns Over But the

David Gadley of McIndoes must
have had rabbits foot and a
horseshoe in his pockets and had
his fingers crossed when he went
over an enbankment with his big
King runabout Wednesday night
on the road between PassumpAc
and East Barnet and escaped with
only a scratch on one hand. Such
good luck as Gadley had with him
in this accident would fall to but
few persons in lifetime.
Gadley was on his way from
st. Johnsbuly, at $50 O'Clock
when after passing through the
main street of Passumpsic, his
lights went out. He tried to pro
ceed slowly over the road but
went through a fence and took
about a foot drop into an open
field. The car remained right side
up ard he was able to get back
onto the road without assistance.
Bertram Kendall of East Bar
net came along in his Ford car
at about this time and with the
aid of the Ford car lights Gadley
attempted to follow him on the
road. He had proceeded about 4
mile below Passumpsic when on

Mrs. Platt Brings Suit
Against St. J0hnsbury
Law Firm

The business Of Caledonia coun-
ty court was of double interest
Thursday for two reasons. There
were most important matters un-
der consideration and two cases
were on trial at the same time.
AS one would say at the shop
county court was running on q
double shift. 1t happened in this
way:
Judge Sherman Il. Moulton of
Burlington presided at hearing
in the case of Mrs Clara Z. Platt,
formerly of Rutland against
Charles A. Shields and David S.
Conant,, the surviving partners of
the law firm of Dunnett, Shields
and Conant Judge Moulton. took
Assistant Judge Charles w Thur
ber as his associate and conducted
his hearing in the municipal court
room in the court house, while
Judge Wilson, with Assistant
Judge Oscar c. Woodruff, con-
tinued to hearing Of the evidence
in the Parmeter fire case in tie
main court room.
In the case before Judge Moul-
ton, Mrs Platt claims that the
lawyers fee of $4,000 and expen-
ses is excessive. 1t will be re-
nm dar Observation-Disclosures
membered that her husband, Hon.
Frederick S. Plat the clerk of
the U. S. District court, was killed
in a collision on the Boston and
Maine railroad near Brattlcboro
on September 10, 1918. Mrs. Platt
as executrix of his estate, brought
suit to recover damages. The
st. Johnsbury law firm of which
the late Hon. Alexander Dunnett
was the head, was engaged to
conduct the suit. During the
court proceedings offers of settle
ment and different times We're
made beginning at $4,000 and fin
ally reaching $4,000, but all
these offers were refused by Mr..
Dunnett and the case was finally
tried in the Federal Court
at Windsor before Judge Harlard
B. Howe where a verdict for the
recovery Of $23,500 was returned
by the jury. The defendant rail
road put in evidence in defense
at the trial. The case went to tne
U. S. Circuit court Of Appeals,
where the judgment of the lower
court was affirmed
When the claim was paid, the
attorneys deducted the sum of
$1,000 as fees and an expense ac-
count of $469.13, sending Mrs.
Platt the balance. After settle
ment was made, Mrs. Platt
brought suit against MessrS.
Shields and Conant, Mr.. Dun
nett's surviving partners, to re-
cover as she claimed the charges
We're excessive. The case was
entered in Caledonia county court
and was set for hearing at this
time. AS it conficted in dates
with the Parmeter case already on
trial, and as Judge Wilson was
disqualified to serve, Judge
Moulton was assigned to the case,

America is truly great nation. To
be an American citizen is greater than
to be king; it is the greatest blessing
and opportunity on earth.
American citizenship was created by
those who considered themselves re-
sponsible to sacred cause. 1t will be
pres erved only by sacrifice and service
the most Beautiful attributes of re-
sponsibility. Service is the greatest
word in or language. He has lived
we'll who has liVed in the service of his
God, and his Country, No one can
serve his country who does not serve
God.
The School is the place where, as
boys and girls, we should learn to love
our country. In it, then, we must ac-
quire the study of American history.
For to properly appreciate and love
America, we must know its history,
which is made up of the visions, the
dreams, the achievements of its great
men and women.
But in teaching the history of our
country, we must teach the truth.
America is not perfect. Mans work
is never perfect. God gave man the
earth to build upon. Every boy and
girl must realize that there is much
they can do to make America nobler
and better nation. Their every thought
and act must be directed toward that
end. It is an easy thing to Gle. The
problem of life is to live.
The structure which is America has
been built around the Home, the
School, and the Church They are the
foundations of our free institutions and
the source of our national ideals.
Without them America could not be-.
When they cease to be, America will
be no more. Boys and girls, always
reverence and respect these three The
School, The Home, and The Church
and always remember that true Ameri-
csnfsm means Service to God and
Country. mericam LEGION
