"The spirits showed me how TO

The temple is 3 feet by 2 feet, and

Is suggestive of the ancient Indian

The temple. Mrs. Gigours, explained

STOCKHOLDERS
LOSE $4,000
4,524 Out $5 Each, Co-0pera-
tive Store Managers Say.
Closed for Liquidation.

More than $4,000 will be lost by
4,624 Treasury Department employees
who were stockholders in the Treas
ury Department Cooperative Store,
which closed for liquidation last
month, it was announced today by
the store managers.
SALE BRINGS $500.
Only $4,000 was realized From the
closing -out sale OF its entire stock
and fixtures during the last two
weeks, II was stated, and this togeth-
er with cash on hand and other re-
sources will barely be enough to pay
the outstanding debts Of the store.
1t was thought at first that enough
money would be realized from the
sale OF the stock of groceries anil
investors all but 81 .25 each on their
original investment OF IS each. but
due to q steadily declining market
and the severe competition OF the
chain stores. II was announced that
none OF the stockholders would re-
ceive any OF their money back.
In the fourteen days that IL took
to close out the stock, most of the
goods were sold much below cost, due
to the falling market, but even with
the heavy price decline the sale net
ted approximately bS per cent of the
inventory taken before the sale be-
gan, which. according to officials OF
the store. Is a much higher per cent
age than is usually realized from a
sale of this sort. They state that 40
per cent Is all that 10 usually realized
on such sales.
EMPLOYEES SATISFIED.
Store officials declared that none
Of the Treasury employees feel very
bad about the matter because they
have all saved more than IS. the
amount of their investment, aimee the
opening OF the store in the difference
In the prices of goods sold at the
Treasury store and the prevailing
prices on the outside.
"A large number Of the stockhold-
ers have told US that they have saved
many times IS since they have been
buying groceries and other goods at
our store. compared to prices they
would have had to pay on the outside.
30 they shouldn't feel bad about the
loss" declared one of the store man
oSOf stouoy.
MANAGERS CRITICIZED.
The failure of the store is attrib-
uted to poor management and un-
skilled buying during the past year,
officials stated. 1t was pointed out
that the store would have been a sue
cess had II not deviated from the sale
OF groceries and other commodities
incident to the general grocery busi-
ness. and made large purchases of
clothes. shoes and other goods in COM
petition with department stores. Un-
skilled buying in these lines, together
with large purchases Of grocers at top
prices, caused it's failure, 1t was said.
From the final counting. which is
being completed, 1t is thought that
there will be a slight shortage of the
sum sufficient to meet all Of the out
standing debts of the store. When
the exact amount of this shortage is
ascertained. II was stated the stock.
holders will be appealed to by the
store officials to contribute the sum
necessary to meet it's outstanding
debts. This, it was said. will be done
probably next Monday.

pose. Without doubt that eX-
PLANTATION means that there are
many deserted farms on the roads
IN question and that the property
is reyerting gradually to its Tor
mer condition of wildness and lack
of cultivation, albeit some of the
meadows will probably be cut over
each year and the pastuEage OF
.ome of the farnthwill be ut.44cd
Under such conditions, it does
seem like poor business policy to
continue the repairs and upkeep
Of these practically unused roads.
On the other hand, the discontih-
uing of the roads by the town
means that the farm land will be
even more inaccessible in Il few
years and its marketability Will be
reduced in ike proportion. Thus,
Vermont farm land goes into the
discard. Some Of these farms il
Stowe may be reclaimed in lates
years, but, if 50, it will be under
the handicap of lack of roads, o.
of very poor roads. A good high
way is one OF the best selling ar
encies for Vermont farm land
and unless -ome way is devised to
prevent the reversion of accepted
highways into state of disusc
and disrepair our present unoccr
pied lands will not be likely to b.
occupied and the states prosper
ity will be checked to that extent
A farm that is inaccessible is not
salable, is acarcely tenantable.
Therefore, Vermont is facing Sc
lious problem, viz, how to keep
our roads open and worked
