What is thrift" Mr.. Kraft asked.
1T should not be life insurance, nor
a home, nor real estate, nor a bank
account" he continued, but it is q
complete program in life which in
'cludes all of these, which take their
rightful places and fit in naturally.
Life insurance has definite part in
the program of thrift.
I'm saving it is well to keep in

bears out that point of view. 1t is

THE PLIGHT OF VERMONT

The Green Mountain state finds itself sorely tried and the appeal of Governor John E. Weeks for federal aid has been interpreted as meaning that every other humanitarian as- sociation, the New England Council, the other New England states, and individuals as well, will be eager 10 lend the helping hand so badly need ed.
 That there will be a serious exo- dus from Vermont unless such aid is forthcoming in abundant measure would be hard to believe were it not for the fact that such a calamity has been greatly facilitated hy the dam game already done. In some of the stricken areas people who already find the roots which bound them to the state cut away arc looking about atl l'' " ii'ii1 anu past lul J-NCl the business men, everything they had in the way of property being lcveled to the ground, are said to be reluctant to rebuild and are going elsewhere. If such an exodus be- comes universal within the flooded areas the damage done will be well nigh incalculable and rather backs Up the assertion that it will take Vermont many years to recover from the disaster
 Vermont does not deserve such q sequence. The work of putting her back to normalcy is of vital con- cern to all New England. No state in New England wishes to gain n straw at the eXpcnse Of Vermont, and the spirit of hclpfulncss is already abroad.

RED CROSS IS CALLING

The Red Cross roll call is under way and it is to be hoped that this city will meet its moral obligations without delay. Twice this year the Red Cross rose to outstanding Mississippi flood and the New England flood. Its effl- Ciency was tested to the utmost in the former, and in the latter it is doing trojan service in Vermont, where it's headquarters are at Bur lington.
 The sum which each individual is expected to contribute to the Red Cross annually is small, although there Is no limit to the amount which citizens may give to this great organization.
 The Herald feels it a privilege to further the interests of the Red Cross. Providing it with the funds to carry out its humanitarian activi- ties is moral duty.

\ PUBLIC GOLF COURSE

The mayors idea that those faN- bring a public golf course contribute the money to pay for one is original As an evidence of sincerity the mayor offers to contribute s100-- which at least is start toward the s90.o0O or slO0,o00 required for an lS-hole course.
 Ii 5000 golf enthusiasts contribute s10 each the sum of s90,000 will be reached. If 100 contributed s100 each 1t will provide s10,000-and the remainder can be raised by the army of golf swingers less munifi- gently provided with spare funds.
 If these figures appear too high cut them in half. but they will still look formidable.
 There may not be enough golf enthusiasts in the city to raise the needed money. Perhaps the mayor knew this before he thought of rendering the s10O.

Observations On The Weather

Washington, Nov. 11.-Forecast for Southern New England: Mostly cloudy and warmer tonight. Satur- day cloudy; rain Saturday afternoon or night. Much colder by Sunday. Fresh southerly winds.
 Forecast for Eastern New York: Cloudy and warmer; probably rain in northwest portion tonight; Satur- day afternoon: much colder Satur- day night and Sunday; fresh to strong southwest winds shifting to northwest Saturday night.
 Conditions: Pressure has di- unfinished rapidly over the north At- lantic states and Lake region dur ing the past 4 hours and light rains prevail tins morning through out New England.
 The center of the western dis turbance is over Iowa. A strong area of high pressure is overspread- ing the Plains states. It is accom- panied by much lower temperature. Sub-zero temperatures prevail in the Canadian northwest and freezing temperatures as far south as New Mexico and Arizona.
 Conditions favor for this vicinity unsettled weather and not much change in temperature.

COTTON PROSPERITY

Cotton prosperity in the south does not reach favorably upon nu- merous New England industries which are large consumers of the product The low price of cotton last year aided the textile industry; there was bumper crop and a sharp price decline. This year conditions are re- vcrsed-there has been reduction of 5,300,000 bales In the crop, with an enhanced price level. Cotton growers will be richer, although producing less, while the textile in- dustry will have to pay higher prices and contribute to the increased wealth of the southern planters.
 The planters, however, are the only folk in the industry who will profit by this turn. The revenues Of ginnets and of southern railroads VIII SulleT ny tne Itu uutlioil VI op per cent in the cotton crop.
 One wonders what the effect Of this southern cotton prosperity will have upon the fortunes Of the re- vamped McNary- Haugen bill to be brought before the next Congress. Last year, when this bill dealing with the agricultural surpluses was pending before Congress, cotton was included among the basic commodi- operation of the bill if it became law. A shift In southern votes, which had been cast against the bill if the preceding session, was decisive in bringing about the passage of this measure, which later was vetoed by the President. With cotton prices advanced between 60 and 70 per cent this year the southern delega- tions in Congress may not see the necessity of being aroused about the McNary- Haugen plan.
 The cotton situation is one of cycles: High prices stimulate in- creased production; then a big crop and low prices: then planters go In | for diversified crops and a short crop with high prices results. And then inc cycle all over again.
 Last year the total Of cotton ex- port was the largest in history even exceeding the large figures

no one can deny who has had occasion to have such worn done. Dr. Pullen quotes the average price at s2 a ton.This seems a low figure, as there are people who are paying such contractors Is cents for every can of ashes removed from the premises, and many people have as much as two and three cans a week 10 be removed.
 Now If the city goes into the in- cinerator business, Dr. Pullen points out, the city not only will collect garbage free Of charge. but also ashes and rubbish. It requires no mathematician to discover that with the saving 70 householders on ashes and rubbish removal, the cost Of the incincrator cannot be consid- cred excessive.
 Without saying much. we think pr. Pullen has said quite enough for the present.

established in the season of 1s11-1o. Exports to Germany and Japan have been particularly noteworthy, and last year. for the first time. more American cotton was exported to Germany (2.ss3,3o1 bales. an in crease of 71.9 per cent) than to the United Kingdom (2.573,s5s bales. or an increase of 1j.1 per cent) the ex- ports to Japan was only a million bales less than to the United King dom, and represented an increase of 43.6.
 We hear much nowadays of less cotton goods being worn: and this is proven by tho statistics announced by the cotton spinners' associations. The reduction has taken place in the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Italy: but the decline has been more than offset by the rapid increase in the use of cotton fabric. in Germany, central European countries and Japan.
