A locomotive struck an automobile

Johnsbury. The engineer didn't blow
bis whistle because not compelled to

motorists knew nothing of the APP
proach of the train till two seconds
before they were hit, Sometimes the
railroads find it TO their advantage not
to strike automobiles whether on pub

renee at Jonesville few seasons ago in
which a train was wrecked by hitting
an automobile is case of that sort.
There might, easily have been a wreck

Rutland at par value, thus enabling
Rutland to place its, bonds without be-
ing required to take sacrifice, which
would have been inevitable in case the
bonds had been underwritten by some
bond house. A municipal bond paying
Ave per cent interest is an attractive
investment for the person who desires
to secure good rate of return, a sure
repayment of yhis principal and no
care or worry over the whereabouts of
his money in the interim, In the his
tory of municipal bondings by Ameri-
can cities, covering millions of differ
emit issues, there have been virtually
no instances in which bonds have Ell
their passed their interest dates or
failed to be redeemed. The very few
instances of that nature known in the
long period of municipal bonding have
been in boom town here and there,
chiefly in the mining realms of the
West, where the town all but disap-
pesred in the collapse Of the boom. In
yestors who put their money in Yer
mont municipal bonds have the credit
Of the entire municipality back Of
them; and, moreover, they have the
consciousness of having contributed to
1he upbuilding of their own commu.
nifty and, too, they see the works ere
sted by their money. That is why eff
forts to float municipal bond issues d.
rect deserve to meet with success.

Incidents of An Interurban Trolley
Trip
MIR. Editor. Some months ago you
kindly favored me with space to praise
the B. & M. street railroad upon then
orderly run road. | am not sure wheth'
er it's best now to congratulate or ex'
press condolences that motorman
who ran the 1916 trip from Montpel-
Ter TO Barre was so energetic or unwise
that he could sit upon the front seat
and let the car 60 along its way re-
joicing,
While passing the Dodge place I be-
lieve a COW suddenly appeared upon
the scene and only by sharp work OF
the company's efficient motorman was
the car prevented from hitting the
"bosse."
After this incident this faithful en-
ploye took his seat again and contin'
ued to Jolly" with the two passengers
who were upon the front seat till
rounding curve the operator of ear u
| believe was forced to use the brake
in order not to hit big motor truck,
After these two Incidents, / will, in
Justice to the motorman, write that
for the rest of the trip he was on his
job.
Two Standard Oil men said that
"never in all their travels had they
seen the like of operating" and | de-
sire to back up their statement.

PAL BONDS.

Various Vermont municipalities have
of late negotiated the sale of their
bonds direct to the investor, thereby
eliminating the services of the middle
men. There are several reasons why
resort 10 this method has been made at
this time which it is, perhaps, not nee
essary TO enumerate. Suffice il to say
that the municipalities have been
meeting with considerable success in
their efforts, not the least of which
successes is that of Rutland, where
an issue of $4,000 was disposed of dur

Georges Carpenter, the French pu-
gilist, has brought over an idea devel'
oped in the great war; he's strung
barbed wire entanglements about his
training quarters to prevent invasion
However, it is evident that he will
need something besides barbed wire
when meeting Dempsey, although
Dempsey never saw battlefield Of the
World war and, in fact, never put on
the United States uniform when he
might have been expected to do so.

Whatever else the English may find
out about our ex-yermonter who is
now officiating at the Court of st.

him quite positive in his beliefs and

admit he made mistake was in max

tive now that he made mistake then.
