LIGHT ON THE RONUS.

series of Investigations in various
states has offered some interesting evil
dence on the way in which soldiers spent
their bonus money.
In one state it is reported that so
per cent of the money was promptly
turned into savings accounts stocks and
bonds and payments on property and 10
per cent went into clothing and house
furnishing. Conditions were much the
same in other states.
Judging from this report the service
men must be fairly well re-established
in industry and ordinary routine of liv
ing and less given to profigate spending
than extreme opponents of bonus meas
ures warned they would be.
OF the unitemized 81 per cent, some
went to the support of dependent rela-
tives and some to the payment of old
debts. Some, naturally enough, and sur
prisingly little, at that, was wasted
promptly. But the evidence is that the
service man is pretty well established,
and is not, except in occasional in
stances. an Immediately needy citizen.
These facts suggest that further delay
of the federal bonus question until do
nestle expenses are lighter and the for
eign situation less threatening would
work no serious hardship to the men.

FRIDAY AUGUST -. 1922
NO STINT FLYING.

The editorial entitled Stunt Flying
which the Burlington News published in
reference to last Fridays tragedy at the
dedication of Brattleboros aviation field
is based on a wholly false assumption of
facts and is so unfair in the impression
it conveys that refutation seems need
full. If the accident here had happened
as a result of stunt flying there would
be no occasion for reply, but the facts
are that it occurred in a straight fight
in a machine not designed for stunning
and whose pilot had no desire or thought
of doing any stunts. Furthermore, no
fancy flying of any sort known as stunts
had taken place during any of the events.
Possibly the choice of the words fly
ing circus as a title for the meet was
unfortunate but the word circus was not
intended to convey what the writer of
the Burlington News editorial seems to
think The events on the program of
the Brattleboro meet were the same as
those which took place at the dedication
of the Burlington field last summer, al
though stunt flying did take place in
Burlington.
Enough of tragedy and sorrow is con-
nected with the actual facts of the dis
aster to make cruel and unwarranted
any such impression as the News has at
tempted to convey.

WOOD ALCOHOL FROM CANADA

The notion prevalent in some parts of
the country that bootleg liquor from
Canada is better than the native kind is
demolished by report submitted by
drug experts to the American Pharma-
ceutical association.
According to DR.. Henry Kraemer of
Mount Clemens, Mich, who has con.
Quoted a long series of experiments, al
the Canadian whiskey he examined con
tanned wood alcohol sometimes to the
extent of 10 per cent, and the beer Otter
showed four per cent of the same poison
Heavy indulgence in such whiskey might
be fatal, and five drinks of such beer, he
says, would have a very injurious effect
on the consumers eyesight.
So fades another alcoholic illusion.

Howard G. Kelley, who has resigned
the presidency of the Grand Trunk rail
way, is a native of the United States
who came into high position in the
Canadian railway world, after a service
beginning. in his case, as far back as
1881, on the Northern Pacific road. He
was born in Philadelphia in 1858, edu-
Gated in the Polytechnical college of that
city, and then struck out for the North.
From 1884 to 1887 he was superintend-
ent of the Northern Pacific's mines in
Montana. Later he was stationed in
Minneapolis and st. Louis, and was busy
acquiring experience and reputation that
led, in 1907, to his being made chief
engineer of the Grand Trunk railway in
Canada. Four years later he became
vice president, and in 1917 he came into
the Office of president, on the retirement
of r. J. Chamberlain. Mr.. Kelley stands
high in the engineering profession, and
has been honored with the presidency of
the Canadian national organization.

POLICE PROTECTION FOR cows.
Attleboro Farmers Want Autos Held

ATTLEBORO, Mass, Aug, 25.-The
selectmen have before them an odd ap-
peal for police service. David McIn-
tyre, who says he represents number
of farmers in the vicinity of Draper ave
nue. and South Washington street. said
that it is almost impossible to get herd
of cows across South Washington street
on Saturdays and Sundays owing to the
automobile traffic and the farmers down
there feel that police ought to be sent
there to hold up automobile traffic long
enough TO permit the farmers to get
their herds across the thoroughfare.

probably assign officers for the section
on the days mentioned.

"If the coat fits you, put it on"

1t is evident that the Brattleboro
board of civil authority, scheduled to
meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning to
hear appeals from the listers quadren-
NAL appraisal of property, will not be
the only body of that kind in the state
to consider. the valuation question, Re-
ports from other Vermont towns indicate
that they are about to go through a
similar course of proceedings to that
which Brattleboro has been going
through on the valuation question. Lo-
cal listers it win be remembered, raised
real estate from total of $5,597, 1893 to
sc, 237 .667, a boost of $639, 164, and
then after a public hearing made reduc-
tions of S137 $50, leaving the total at
$6,O99,S17. Tomorrow the board of
civil authority convemes to consider the
cases of those who have taken appeals
from the listers action. To what ex-
tent they will go into the question of
local property valuations remains to be
seen. but the fact that one appeal-that
of the Brattleboro Water Works Co.
is based on the allegation that its APP
nraisal was too high and all other APP
praisals in town were too low would
seem to furnish opportunity to thresh
! the matter out pretty thoroughly.

Up in Montpelier the listers got
around to file their quadrennial ap-
praisal Tuesday of this week so there has
not been much time for noise from the
taxpayers of that city. That there will
be. however, is indicated by the fact that
the real estate total was lifted from
S., 993, 100 to S6,409, $50, an increase of
S475,970, nearly third of which is ac-
counted for by the added valuation
placed on the National Life Insurance
Cos new building now in the list at
S750,000. In this connection it is in
teresting to note that Montpelier has
$3,077, 40 of non-taXable real estate.
In Barre still larger increase in values
has been made, the appraisal filed there

proximately 100000 from last years

ures published in tie Barre Times the
highest single valuation in that city is
the Montpelier & Barre Light & Power
Cos property, in the list at $97 800.
Tie same company, by the way, is in the
Montpelier list for $2S4, 300.
When the time for filing town repre-
sentative primary petitions expires at
midnight next Tuesday entries in all
political contests of a local nature will
have been closed for this year. Thus
far there has been nothing to indicate
excitement on the part of anyone save
the candidates themselves, and even they
have not become unduly "het up over
the campaign. A similar calm pervades
the atmosphere of the gubernatorial con-
test. In fact, it is generally conceded
by state newspapers that the present
campaign is the most featureless within
the memory of the oldest scribe in the
bunch Indications in this corner of the
state are that Proctor has comfortable
lead over Foote for the nomination, and
that seems to be the report from other
localities. 1t is rather hard, however
to get line on sentiment when so little
expression is given to it.
The cool weather early this week
doubtless brought to more than one mind
the question of what will be done in
Vermont to keep warm this winter. II
is generally admitted that anthracite
coal will be out of the market entirely
and soft coal available in limited
amounts only at extremely high figures
The prospect is certainly chilly. The
st. Adams Messenger thinks it is time
the state fuel administration made a
plain, frank statement" to the people,
telling them just what must be done to
get soft coal.
The Messenger appears to be one of q
large number of Republican papers that
are losing patience with President Hard
ings hesitating course in the rail and
coal strikes, for it concludes heated
editorial on the coal situation thus !:
rs Washington going to continue to
tariff bill which already is cursed by
excessively high duties? Is Washing
ton going ahead spending its time dis
cussing the bonus measure involving the
expenditure of hundreds of millions
while industry faces suspension because
of lack of fuel? Or is there going to be
some sign of intelligent directing force
at the capital-a most welcome change
it would be-and something done for ac-
tual relief of the people in an emergency
which looks as if it might be more criti-
cal than any which we faced even in the
time of the World war? If Washington
is not completely bankrupt in brains and
courage, it is high time that it began to
demonstrate this fact. The people al
ready are skeptical.'

Wheat Lower
Despite Higher
Prices Abroad
Heavy Receipts at Winnipeg
and Lake Port Congestion
MoreThanC Counterbalance
Effect of Warlike Moves

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-Wheat averaged
lower in price to-day, heavy receipts
at Winnipeg and congestion of sup
plies at lake ports more than counter
balancing the effect of war-like moves
by the Turks and Of highe2 quota
tions at Liverpool. The United
States government crop report issued
after the close was generally con-
strued as bullish on wheat and bear
ish on corn. Wheat finished easy at
1-2 cent net lower to 1-8 advance.
Corn closed shade lower to lac up;
oats off shade to 1-S a 1-4c, and
provisions unchanged to % cents
higher.
Except for a brief time at the outset
when the upturn at Liverpool and the news
the wheat market was, for the most part
inclined to sag. In addition to the big
rvals rDst Of ,iae wheat at Winnpeg the stock at
100000 bushels for the week Bears made
much. too, of an unexpected increase of
$500, 900 bushels in the amount Of wheat
less.
Evening up to prepare for any surprise
In the government crop report kept the
wheat market from going very far In n
downward direction, and was even led to
slight rallies the days trading drew to
an end.
Corn derived strength from general ex
pectance that the government report
% be Re was Also
off in the visible supply total. Oats were
influenced by the. action of wheat; some
foreign buying of lard gave lift to the
provision market after prices had declined
in the early trading.
