Middletown Springs, July IL
Henry G. Copeland, New York banker,
bequeathed a permanent endowment
fund Of $4,000 to the Federated church
and also $1,000 to the Pleasant View

Minerva Skinner Copeland Mr. Cope

National bank of Poultney and when

Cowardice Ruined Germany.

The war was caused by cowardice.
Rathenau, the assassinated foreign
minister of the German republic, who
knew whereof he spoke, said SO year
ago, and his murder releases his
words to the world The kaiser ratified
his sword until he frightened himself
and all his ministers out of their
normal Judgment Rathenau ex-
planned. "Bethmann- Hollweg and his
ministers sat up all night in theii Of
fees in fear and trembling, hoping and
praying that the ear would succumb
to the terms of the ultimatum and that
hey would escape the diaster into
which their cowardice had led them"
This construction of the Hohenzol-
lern psychos that Numbered into
catastrophe accords with the psychoses
of father and son that propelled both
as fugitives across the Holland border.
Shrewd observers of William II. long
before the war OWNED what old Bis
marck had judged the character OF the
imperial braggart to be. They knew

German people to have no sense Of
humor. To be led about docilely by
the nose requires want of humor, as to

humorlessness.
Rathenau in the same interview ex-
pressed confidence that the German
people were through not only with the
but with any royalty.
Perhaps his death will help confirm the
Germans in that determination. He
called the remsfning royalists "an
inconsequential minority" They are a

veg was the German oliver. II
Hindenburg and Ludendorff were not
the Prussian Bazaine and MaeMahon,
nevertheless they served to ruin Ger

as the two French marshals ruined
French imperialism.

stood in the way Of the beaten mill

MEMBER GYPSY BAND INJURED.
Boy Struck by Auto at Bellows Falls
Great EXCITEMENT Followed.

| Bellows Falls, July Ia band Of
gypsies, 90 in number, travelling IN
seven large touring cars, reaching here
Friday afternoon, had to be permitted
to camp here temporarily, even as the
police were preparing to speed them on
their way, for boy Of the party was
run over by local automobile and
severely injured, SO that he is in the
hospital.
AS they entered the village, the first
car had blowout and the whole
caravan stopped in line beside the
street. While fixing the tire, the
Leader, Peter Eli, let his family con-
sisting of his wife and IL children, out
of the car, and as one of the boys,
James Eli, aged 10, started to cross the
road, car owned and operated by E.
M. Colman, an official of the American
Express, struck him and knocked him
down, breaking his collar bone and
seriously bruising him.
Great excitement followed, the wom-
en- all screaming, dancing and rolling
on the ground, attracting a great
crowd. The boy was taken to the
hospital, and since it would be few
days before he could be moved, the
whole party was escorted to the
meadows at the north end of the vii
lage, where they are under police sur
veillance, no one from the band being
allowed in the village except the lead
err, to visit the boy and get supplies.
The gypsies claim to be on their way
to Burlington and from there intend
to cross Lake Champlain and return to
their home in Detroit.

Two Sides of Turnover

The alert business man dealing with
present day conditions knows that
the big word to-day is Turnover"
Whether he be merchant, manufac-
turer, jobber, or banker, he sees that
one thing with clear vision unbiased
by the limits Of his own business. 1t
is in the air, and on the tip Of every
tongue.
And yet many of them-entirely
too many-are thinking on only one
side of Turnover. They think of it as
meaning rapid selling-putting money
in and getting it out quickly and at
a profit. They realize that they must
put greatly increased efforts back
of all their plans for selling and dis
tribution.
The other half of Turnover is the
consumer. All selling plans and efforts
fail if the consumer doesn't want to
buy. His desire for the product must
be created. He must meet the seller
half way. He must be in mood to
buy before the salesman meets him
across the counter.
That is the function of Advertising
