BOOMING VOLSTEAD ACT M. Cole Tells What It Has Done for Cause of Temperance. Hcv.

John Cole in an address on (he subject "Is Prohibition a Failure," at Iho Methodist church Sunday night, some figures were presented regard lir; the effectiveness of prohibition in les-nenlug the amount of Intoxication ami criino In the country. From a survey of the 58 largest cities in the United States, it appeared that Ihero wen three times as many ariests for drunkenness In 1917 as in 1921. From the rejiort of the Scientific TemperuncG Federation of Itoston, whoso report whs reviewed in the North American 31st ami summarized In Iho Literary Digest last Saturday, the number of arrests in Poston decreased 55 per cent, averaging the seven years before, and tho two years, 1920 and HUM. Kxactly the same decrease held for the t-tate as a whole. Arrests lor all pauses In the state fell from 90.079 to decronstf of 27 per cent.

Judge Gemmlll of Chlengo, who haJ polloetcd prison statistics for seven years declares that "20 per cent of the Jails In the United Stales have been without prisoners since Prohibition went into effect, and in 80 per cent of Ihein the number of prisoners has been reduced anywhere front 15 to HO per cent." The most significant figures, to the audience Ht least, were those from the municipal court of Bennington, which showed that during the last year before the amendment was adopted there were 90 arrests for Inloxic.i tlon; the first year after, 14. For 110 mouths before the Amendment there were 252 arrests, for thirty months nf ter, 27. It was dec'ared by the speak that the primes on the calendar for the last few months were of a more heinous nature than intoxication, due doubtless to the poisonous nature ol the stuff Illegally sold to continued drinkers. Hut a drop from 252 to 27 in arrests for Intoxication Indicated a tremeudous "sobering up' of the public, and considerable value to the prohibition amendment even under the partially enforced, and 'much neruted olstenl act. i A.

HUGHES PRAISES ADMINISTRATION IU WOULD ISSUES Record Exceeds Expectations of Present Officials OUTLINES FOREIGN POLICY For Us International Co-Operation Should Not Mean Entanglement Poston. Oct. A foreign policy of helpfulness and; good understand ing without entanglements which would filter American independence, was outlined by Secretary Hughes of the State Department in on address Symphony Hail 'last night review- the record of the Harding admin istration in the He'd of international i relations. i Ity the lead it took in the arms con ference, the Sceretury said, and by Its effurts toward harmony among tho nations of the Western Hemisphere, the American government during the past twenty months has set a record of accomplishment far beyond what was expected of It the. 'now ad ministration came into power.

So far as Kurope Is concerned. Mr. Hughes declared, President Harding and his advisers always have lcen ready to lend a helping hand where it would do the. most good, but are no willing to fritter away the Influence of the United States by Intervention in controversies that arc rooted in age-old national rivalries. "The chief trouble ut this lime iu Kuropo," he continued, "is that the great powers havo not been able to agree as to questions which, being dls tinetty Kuropean questions, directly concern them, and their want of agreement Is due to different conceptions of essential national policy.

For us. international ci operation does not mean mat we siiopnt eniurou. ourselves In controversies not luvolvlng our own The secretary -'d that In hu manitarian efforts he believed a way might be found for the United Statos to participate formally in the selection of Judges to the recently organized Court of Justice, a project which from the first bad had the sym pathy of this government. He de clared that nlreadv in a humanitarian way and through the channels of trade the United States was rea'ly giving aid of value Incalculable. He pra'sed the arms conference agreements ns meaning resrue of the world from despair' predicted that despite lh present delay th" Washington treaties would be rstilied bv all the powers signatory to them.

Ultimate failure of the conference program, he asseited, had been precluded In any case by the ratifications already voted by the United States, Great lirita and Japan. Among tin- othr accomplishments reviewed by Mr. Hughe has a pail of the const ru- tive program of the administration wen; the ucitotlatiou of a peace treaty with fiermaiiT, thrt Yap agreement protecting American interests in the mandate Islands of the Pacific, the reorganization of Cuba's finances, the Tarna-Afrlea arbitration agreement between Chile nnd Peru, the calling of a conference here of Central American republics, and the stabilization if Haiti anil Santo IVwilngo. Toward the people oT Mexico, the Secretary said, the Uu td Slates en tertaius only the friendliest send-uipnts although it Is unw illing to recognize any Mexican Internal policy based upon confiscatory measures against foreigners. He alluded nls) to the Near Fastern tual on, repeating the declaration that the American government, although interested deeply in some phases, of the Near Kastem settlement, can not appropriately attend the Ijtusannc peaeo conference because It called lo settle a war which the United States was not a party.

Secretary Hughes began his address wltli a eulogy lo Senator Henry Cabot Uulge chairman of the Com mlttee on Foreign delations ami He-publican leader of the Senate. Mr. liiidge's defeat by his Massachusetts constituency at the November tlon. tho secretary declared, would be not. only a loss to the state but "an Irreparable loss to the nation?" In his discussion of tho policies of the administration.

Mr. Hughes said; "Of course, there have been differences of ow, froe'y expresssd. 'Thi't is a wholesome, sign; there have been no attempts to establish a one man rule. The Kxccutlve has full iipre-' elated the great powers eonfiileil to i him by the Constitution and he is ex-icrclslni: thcni.

Hawks, president of tho, Hoard of Trade -delivered at tho dinner held Monday noon to open reorganization campaign. No 'community ever possessed a richer Iu tho emulation of lho: spirit which moves men'tt minds to. (brought und action than does Hcai'nington. Tho lesson of determination to no-pompllsli definite end, taught us by our forefathers back in the days of 1777, sliiould be uu Inspiration to the present jand future generation. Let in) then, citizens of muke a (firm resolve to live up to that reputation for Intensity of spirit and dctcriniiiatlon of purpose by accomplishing i whatever task wc may undertake, ufter having convinced our selves, ly careful thought, and Joint deliberation, that tho end should be attained.

Organized effort established on such a basis Is bound to meot with success. Tho machinery for harnessing tho forces (Jf any community has been adopted by the Chamber of Commerce of the United Statos and exists throughout tho country under the natno of Hoard of Trade, Chamber of Commerce, and the like. Tho efficiency with which that ma chinery will function in Pennington. depends entirely upon tho skill and abl'lty of the uiwrator or operators. Tho recently elected Directors and olllcprs of tbo Itenningtoii Hoard of Trade for tho ensuing year are men whom you all know: Arthur J.

Col-gan William P. Hogan, Harry J. Cole. William II. Nichols, Chas.

ien-berg. I.PP Warner. Itergeron, Fred Stickles. A. S.

Payne, Hcv. John L. Cole. Ceirrge M. Hawks.

Can these men Ins rellpd upon to carry out tin- policies which they are a-vocating? Do the result? of their delibemtlon merit your co-operation and support? Now as to tho policy of tho present board of directors for the ensuing year. At the first meeting oi the board, after a full discussion of (he conditions which now confront us, the opinion was unanlmoifs that two things aro Imperative at this time. First Tlsat nothing can be accomplished liy an organization without sufficient funds to carry on their pro gram and looking to this end, a pro-train of llminclng this Pennington Hoard of Trade is now in progress. the details of this plan will 1k dis cussed later by Mr. Morgan, who is among our guests today.

Second Tho devising of ways and moans whereby every man who desires employment In town may be properly housed it tainc estimated that there is a shortage of from 30 to pin houses under normal conditions. A housing committee has been created and definite plans are now In progress. There Is no man or woman In Itenningtoii who does not realize the all important part our manufacturers play in sustaining our economic life tho new dollar brought In by them from the sale Vt manufactured products in other parts of United States and Canada and Kuropo Is spent here for labor. It means broad and butter for us all. Did you ever stop to figure from an economic standpoint, the exact money value of each man who has been attracted to Pennington as a place to live.

Chief Powderly of the employment bureau, at Washington has said that the economic value of any man to the community in which he Is employed Is equal to a capitalization computed on the basis of his gross earnings be Ing equal to a reasonable return on the Investment, say 6 per cent. To illustrate. If a man's earnings are J1200, per annum. 11200 equal ti per cent return on a capitalization of If his earnings uro $24uo per annum, that man Is worth to tho community In which he lives. It Is therefore fair to assume that every nian in Pennington Is worth from I20.0OU to lo this community as a producer.

To illustrate aga.n, with 500 employees in the lloldeii Ionard Company mill With an average individual earning of say $1500 per annum, the economic value of that institution to this community Is then $12,500,000. The value of the grand Pst of nil the real estate In the village, as per the uuadrennial appraisal of 1919 was $3,822,397. Tho economical value then of only one of our splendid Industries is worth to Pennington more than three times our real estute up praisal. Does It not then behoove ns all lo support the manufacturer In this community who Is doing so much In contributing toward the commercial lire or this town. The present board ol directors III i i-operuto to the limit with our manufacturers.

Tho policy of the preset directors may best be llluMrated by comparison to Captain lloyd. howitzer company, of tlio Vermont National Guards, lined up at target practice at tho last State encampment. I'very p'o focused on the bulls eye of the target, one definite oMoot with standardized weapon and high now- red ammuiiit'on. If perchaneo a bullet shou'd now and then go astray and accidentally kill' a cow peacefully grazing in an adjoining pasture, wo shall at least know who killed (he cow and attach the proper party. responsibility to RIO GRANDE DE LINE FOR EMPIRE STATE CONCERNS Mexico Breaks Commercial Relations with New York ORDER ISSUED BY OHREGON Individual States in Republic also Instructed to Cease-Business Dealings Mexico City, Oct.

Through a conspiracy Involving the traffic officer at Putnam square their car was caught in a Jam and held up for some time whllo the brido and bridegroom were forced to listen to the usual amount of chaffing from temporarily irresponsible friends.

The successful cscupo from the home ot Mrs. Keeler was largely due to the thoughtfulncss of F.arl W. Wll-Pams the bridegroom's employer. Mr. and Mrs.
