France May Yet Get

There Is possibility. remote, per-

into the French Republic as part OF
the Department of the Alpes- Maritimes.
That is why the ball Of destiny is
spinning so madly for Monte Carlo to-
day.
Greed. the lust OF gambling and the
sinister background OF the magnificent
Casino are pitted against the morality
OF the civilized world.
Tourists, professional gamblers, ad.

that Monaco's new ruler. or France,
will kill the goose that lays the golden
eggs.
The rainbow tints of romance cast a
glory about Monaco of which it Is part.

SHRINER'SCLUB
CELEBRATES AT
WILLOUCHBY
t..
Had Enjoyable Outing
and Entertainment
Friday Night

The members of the Caledonia
Shliners Club and their friends
had a most enjoyable outing Fri
day evening at the Boulders' Ca
slno at Wllloughby Lake, and to
hear the description of it by those
who were lucky enough to be pres
ent, the members who failed to at
tend missed a real treat.
The program was in charge of
the entertainment committee OF
the club of which c. A. Burrows
of St. Johnsbury is chairman, and
they certainly qualified as past
masters in that line. The other
officers of this new organization
among the members of the Gale
donia hot-sand travellers are :
President, c. Roy Calderwood
vice president, Earl Bradley; sec
rotary, James A. Spare; treasurer,
Donald McGregor
The evening was devoted to
music by H. Guy Dunbar's orches-
ira, who also furnished music for
dancing; two fine solos by Mrs. l.:
T. Huntley of Lyndonville; and
a mirth- provoking, care-forgetting,
thoroughly first-class entertain
ment by Herbert A. Clark of Bos-
ton, always a great favorite. Re-
frcshments were served at the
Boulders tea rooms followed by
dancing, and all combining to af-
ford real outing, which everyone
present will be delighted to have
repeated early and often.

Working in Hot Weather

Warm weather has a somewhat
unfavorable effect on industrial
production, since most people feel
rather lanquid on a warm day.
In extreme weather it is wise for
everyone to moderate his pace a
little, and many working forces be-
come so listless that they don't
accomplish much.
The employer who keeps his
work rooms comfortable gets much
better results in summer. A poorly
ventilated factory is not favorably
planned for good production re-
results at this time of year. The
people who are not used to work
ing out doors are almost prostra-
ted if they attempt farm or gar
den work on warm day. Mean
while the old hardened farmer
keeps hoeing or officiating cheerilv
and does not seem to think much
about exposure. The warm weather
tests the kind of physical condition
one has been maintaining. Those
who wilt down easily suggest that
thew have been neglecting their
bodily development.

blow. This is supposed to have
gained him some active and invet-
crate enemies, but on the other
hand it has tremendously strength
ened him with voters who believe
in constitutional government and
the rule of the majority.
1t is true, as the congressman
states, that he has been generous
ly maintained in office by (his) i'm
mediate constituency" and it is
also true that until this year he
has never had serious opposition.
1t is now stated that his nomina-
ton will be disputed by Major H.
Nelson of Burlington on the bon
US issue.
If that is the case, The Herald
trusts that the issue will be made
sufficiently clear and the attempt
of Jackson, Fletcher, ct al, to
coerce public men and government
officials will be definitely and over
whelmingl'' rebuked by the voters.

May Affect State Tax Burden

st. Johnsbury is another of Yer
monts enterprising towns which
has had to take gracefully cut in
the grand list figures for 1922, due
to the shrinkage of personal pro-
perty and polls. If this quite
general reduction in the towns
keeps up, the state will be likely
to suffer a reduction of returns on
