Governor Bells Good Advice.
Rutland News.l

Governor Charles ]. Bell has been Civ
ing the youth of Vermont academy at
Saxtons River some splendid advice.
which should have the widest possible
publicity. Nermonts executive is good
type OF the progressive, intelligent far
mers who constitute such an important
factor in the progress and prosperity of
the country. Words from him as to the
secret of success in this age of specialize
alton and strenuous competition have
considerable weight and it would be well
for the youth about to enter into lifes
activities to heed them.
Among other things which the governor
told the students at SaXtons River are
the following: To-day success in agri-
culture means that the farmer has as
much of a profession as the minister or
the teacher. He must study his profess
sion as carefully as any one. Why is it
that so many farmers seem to be fall
ure in their work? Men who choose a
profession spend a series of years in
studying for it, Seventy per cent. of
these men are a failure, financially or
otherwise. Fifty per cent. of the educated
farmers are n real success and we know
that many men are now farming because
they know that on a farm they can live
longer, starve more gradually, and die
happier than in any other busenss, so
they have selected this for their life work.
The one who selects agriculture in the
future has as sure a reward as the man
in any profession.
THE great success is in understanding
our business There is something in the
Vermont climate and soil that produces
the best sort of flavor and quality We
may take fruit growing for example. Or
binary apples are worth 50 a barrel. The
man who grows apples of just the right
/ color 80 a barrel for his
fruit, and the man who can add just the
right flavor can get 50 more. Apples have
| been sold from the Vermont farms for
| from SIS to $40 a barrel. We may take an
/ example from raising potatoes. Two
men on adjoining farms, with equal
| knowledge OF cultivation and fertilization
! of the fields. were raising potatoes. One
sprayed his potatoes at the cost of few
dollars while the other neglected thi:
small item The first man found that
his potatoes had cost him 81 cents g
| bushel and he paid for his labor anC
| cleared $500. The other man found thai
his potatoes cost him 43 cents a bushel
and his potatoes had just barely paid fol-
his labor. The difference came from pay
ing attention to a small matter Fail
ure and success in agriculture depend
upon attention 20 details as truly as il
| other professions.
So, whatever you choose for your lif
work study carefully every detail. YOU
are learning something every year. TIL
end is not yet in any direction. Whei
you get into active life study as care
fully as ever before. Whether you choos
a profession or not choose something
you like and have a taste for, and d
your best as well as, you know how. Dig
Nifty your occupation, whatever it is, an
you will make a success of whatever yo
do"

NEWS NOTES.
Nine Perished In Burning Of Sound
Steamer.

Nine lives were lost Saturday morning
by the burning Of the Starin line steamer
Glen Island in Long Island sound, and
property roughly estimated at $3.50, 900 was
destroyed. That more lives were not sac
rificed undoubtedly was due to the per-
sonal courage of the officers and crew and
the excellent discipline maintained when
a horrible death for all seemed almost a
certainty When the steamer was ADAM
doned she was flarhe-swept from stem to
stern, and yet the only persons who lost
their lives were those whose escape had
been entirely cut off by the fire before
the alarm reached them. OF the 81 per-
sons. including 10 passengers, who sailed
from New York on the Glen Island Friday
night. %. including eight passengers, were
taken back to New York Saturday. The
Glen Island was making a regular trip
from New York to New Haven and was
off Greenwich, Conn, when the fire broke
out and quickly enveloped the ship The
electric lights went out almost as soon
as the flames were discovered. and the
steering gear soon became clogged so that
the vessel could not be run ashore. and
it was necessary to lower two life boats.
1t Is thought that the fire started near the
