TRADE TREATY OF U. S.
AND GERMANY DEFERRED
Secretary Hoover Says Versailles
Clauses Protect Interests of
American Business.

NEW YORK, January 2l.--No new
commercial treaty will be negotiated be-
tween the United States and Germany
at.present, Secretary Hoover of the De-
paftment of Commerce declared in a
letter to tie New York Merchants AS
sociation. just made public.
1T WIS originally planned that such
,treaty should be negotiated" Secre-
tary Hoover wrote, but it has been re-
cehtly decided that the matter be held
up"fOr the time being. This is due to
the fact that in our treaty with Ger
many We especially reserved the rights
and prerosatives conferred on the allied
and associated powers by the treaty of
Versailles, and after mature conSidera-
tion it was believed that the clauses in
this treaty would protect the interests
of American business without entering
into special commercial treaty"
Mr.. HooverS letter was in answer to
one forwarded him by the merchants
association offering cooperation in the
negotiation of a new treaty.

being painted grey and white.
The board of education gave to all
schools of the county sufficient paint
for one coat. However, the people
Of Concord added another coat of
paint to their building. The people
of the community feel quite proud of
their school, and are determined that
it shall not be excelled by any rural
school of. the county.
The ladies of the community are
planning a festival at the school
building Saturday night, August 26.
They will have on sale all kinds of
good creams, candies and cakes. The
proceeds viii go toward paying for
a second coat of paint. Everybody
is cordially invited.

industries are likely to come back in
due season. The loss last Friday night
in which a butter package company
and a violin manufacturing plant were
destroyed came as a particularly hard
blow because Of the fact that it threw
approximately sixty persons out Of
employment at a time when employ
ment is most desirable. 1t is to be
hoped that steps will be taken soon
to replace the properties and, at the
same time, to offer as good fire protec-
ton as is possible through the extern
sion of water mains to the site of the
burned buildings or through the lo-
cation of the prospective property in
side the present fire district so that
hydrant service will be available in
case Of a need at some future time.
Distance from hydrant service seems
to have been one of the great draw
backs to fighting the disastrous fire Of

BARRE'S FREEDOM FROM
FRESHET.

Barre has been deprived of the
thrills Of the annual spring flood ever
since the river bed was turned in the
center of the city. Gone are the days
when merchants on Main street spent
weary nights lifting goods out of
easements to avoid the rising water;
only a memory are those boating trips
on North Main street; perhaps never
to be repeated are those awesome
scenes of turbulent waters surround
ing stonesheds, houses and other build
ings in the lowiand districts. The
engineering feat of turning the course
Of the annually rampaging Stevens
branch has removed all that from Us.
Already a very great sum Of money
has been saved, not only to individuals
but to the city as well, because of
the successful putting through of this
operation. Now the winters accumu-
lation of snow in the watersheds of the
Stevens branch and the Jail branch l,q-
uidizes and comes down in a hurried
but nevertheless orderly fashion; The
two streams join in the southern plains
of the city and then proceed, with in
creased volume and considerable pow
err, through and past that section of
the city which previously had been
the scene Of great back settling of the
waters clogged by a curve as pro-
nounced as a shepherds crook. The
damage each year was large; the nerve
tension was very wearing; but the Fun
THE thrill of it to the youngsters
was great. Now that's gone. One faa,s
that almost an institution is gone
from our midst. Our spring freshet,
our annual flooding out has vanished.
To be sure, we do get, and win c%ontin-
ue to get, some high water; but the
danger of damage is largely removed.
!The wiping out of that shepherds
crook in Stevens branch did the job.
Some people scoffed at the idea of
taking up a river bodily, so to speak,
and moving it some distance into a
straight line, or practically SO. 9th
ers demurred at the cost OF the under
But there We're more than a
few who believed in the practicability
Of the scheme and who considered he
cost of the undertaking would be small
compared with the aggregate gain.
So the project was put through. The
wisdom of it is demonstrated to us
every spring. Now the flood passes us
by with scarcely a nod Of recognition.

Viewpoints drowning record of three

explained by the fact that Newport

stantly ast an invitation to careless

More or less authoritative
ment is made that Howard i. Hind
ley, editor of the Rutland Herald, does
not intend to become a candidate for
congressman from the first district to
succeed Frank L. Greene, providing. of
course, that Mr.. Greene does not seek a
reelection to that position. Selling
upon the opportunity, the Bennington
Banner states that this leaves the field
open and the nomination ought TO
como to Bennington county, which has
not been permitted to furnish a con-
gresham or senator for half a CEN
fury, so far as the Banner can rec
o~llect." At least two other editors on
the west side have been mentioned
more or less in connection with the
congressional position, one of whom is
the editor of the Bennington contem-
porary. Possibly the utterance Of the
Banner might be taken as a tentative
announcement.
