Savings and Income.
BENNINGTON Banner

In spite Of tagging business eondi-
tions in Barre the past year, the de
posits in the four banks of the city show
that there is $685. 7S more money on
deposit than the figures of two years ago
show when things were booming. A few
rainy DAYS" may have shown the PEG
pie the good sense III preparing for fp-
ture ones-Brattlebor Reformer.
Savings and income have always had
a peculiar relation TO each other. Some
persons save more money when they
have less to save and save less when
their incomes increase. Most of us make
a more creditabla showing when faced
by adversely than when threatened by
prosperity. Most of us are endowed
with more COURAGE than common sense.

WASHINGTON, July 22-United
States senators are getting restless and
uneasy over the industrial crisis. Sew
eral of them fiocked to the White House
yesterday to find out if legislation could
cure the trouble and bring peace 9th
ers told Mr.. Harding that if there was
going to be any allocating of coal they
wanted to know about it. Senator
Lodge. Republican leader, said, for in
stance, that he hoped to see that New
England would get its share
The situation has reached a point
whore the effect of continued Industrial
warfare may be felt in the political
campaigns. The department of COM
merce issued a statement saying that the
rising tide of business recuperation was
being arrested by the rail and coal
strikes. The Republican party has
much to lose this fall if conditions APP
preaching their campaign pledges are
not realized by the rank and file
Many of the Republican leaders know
how close the connection is between in
dustrial peace and political success next
autumn. Senator Watson of Indiana
came to the White House with Senator
Cummings and the net effect of their
visit was determination to reason with
the rail executives and see if they would
not waive the single obstacle that stands
in the way of agreement, namely a
restoration of seniority rights to the
men who return from the strike.
Eastern Men Hold Firm.
The word has gone out that the north
western roads are ready to settle and
that many of the southern roads would
do likewise. The eastern executives are
unyielding. Will they put the Republi-
can party in a hole by prolonging the
strike beyond the point of political
safety? There always has been an Atm
ity between the railroads and the Re-
publicans and the latter now are trying
TO see whether their influence counts for
anything.
Scarcity of coal for next winter is
making senator's apprehensive. If the
house were in session. there would be
inceSsant pigrimages from the capitol
TO the White House Of house members.
As it is the senate reflects the general
uneasiness which is felt throughout the

FAULTY CONSTRUCTION IN DAM.
Engineer Finds There Was insufficient
Supervision in Langw8Id Dam.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. July 22.-
Faulty construction and insufficient SUI
perVision are given as the causes of the
collapse of the Langwald dam at Wilt
mansett. in a report Of State Engineer
Frank w. Hodgdon to Gov. Claiming
ii. Cox, made public last night. AS a
summary the report states, the cause of
the collapse appears to be the softening
of the improper material under the sec
ton of the core wall where there was no
sheet piling, allowing the water to es-
cape under the core The report also
states that the plans of the dam were
not approved by the county commission
ers at the time of its construction.

spite pending appeals before the
home secretary.
Mrs. Thompson and Bywaters, al

death in Old Bailey court for the
murder of the woman's husband,
Percy Thompson. Evidence showed
they plotted his death by slow poi
soning and finally stabbed him to
death, so they would be free to
marry.
At the home office it was said
that no action would be taken on
the appeal, which is accompanied
by petitions for clemency bearing u
million signatures, this week. Mrs.
Thompson's principal plea is that
she is about to become mother.

thriftlessness that is as destruc-
tive of rightful pleasure as waste
of money or waste of health.
/ Work alone brings happiness,
because work is creative and up
building.
All the instincts of the human
race which have been responsible
for humanity's development have
found their fulfillment only in
work.
In every realm Of mans ac-
tivities, whether it be spiritual,
mental or physical, human ex-
perience has shown that progress
alone has come through work.
This does not mean that there
is no rightful place in life for
play, or that diversion is not in
accordance with good thrift. 1t is
a matter of common sense that
life can not be made UP entirely
of labor. There would be little If
any progress in a material way un-
der such condition, and, in the
finer things of life, there would
be absence Of all development.
You cannot transform a man
into machine and get human
results.
But, within the bounds Of thu
average routine of life, woi k
brings the most satisfying happi
ness-work that is right, upbulld.

Happiness through work is ono
of the fundamentals that can be
