Vermont Granite Advertised With
out Cost

II imitation is the best form of flattery,
as it is said to be, the best advertising is
an attempt to initiate. For that reason
we see articles advertised to be "as good
as" such and such standard and we'll
known brand. Particularly does this
habit of comparison find favor with the
provision business, in which the intro
Queer of some new thing pronounces it
to be as good as that which is already on
the market. Unconsiously, perhaps, the
foister of the new product on the credu-
lous public does the older and the stand
dard brand distinct service in advertis-
ing his product to be as good as, etc.
For in announcing that his product is as
good as that already on the market, he
places the stamp of reliability on the
older article; he tells the public that the
older product is all right and that it has
been the aim to produce an article of the
same high standard. The purchasing
public will read between the lines, and if
it be at all critical will decide that the
more tried article is good enough for its
use if the newer product be not consider
ed better even by the extravagant ad-
vertisement writer. Therefore, the
article which has become the basis for
imitation will gain renewed prestige
through the attempt to measure some
other product up to its standard.
In similar way will Vermont granite
receive the benefits of the unsolicited adj
vertising, such as is contained in stray
dispatch from the Lone Star state which
compares an Ell Paso county strain of
granite with Vermont stock. The Ell
Palso granite is said to be extremely
good for building purposes. The dis
patch even goes to the extreme to say
that the Texas product is superior"
All advertising matter of this sort costs
Vermont granite men nothing and is
welcomed by them; the more the better.
1t may serve to reach some out of the
way corners where the local stock has
not established reputation.-Barre

Possible Cure for Cancer.
From the Baltimore American.

FROM the baltimore American.
Some information seems to have been
acquired at last of that terrible scourge
cancer, which will be of practical value to
humanity. Science already knows much
concerning the disease, but 1t has never
been able until now to discover anything
that Will prevent or arrest it. In the past
ten years the public has been repeatedly
startled and many thousands Of sufferers
encouraged by the announcement that a
remedy had been found At one time it
was the X-ray, and some striking instances
OF Improvement were cited; but in the light
or subsequent events the Imagination had

cess, but it's founders have seldom had any
permanent object in view, or regarded the
experiment as much more than a means OF
tiding over a passing difficulty. There Is no
general desire on the part of the immi-
grants to return to the country which they
have left. The gain of the change may be
quite invisible to the outside observer, but
those who have made it seem to look for
ward to lettering their new position rather
than to recovering their old one. The city
takes a firm hold Of those who have once
come into its hands. The trouble is that
the cry itself was wrongly worded. 1t
should have run, not Back to the land"
but Keep on the land" The experience Of
the countryman turned townsman should
have been used to prevent others from fol-
lowing his example. A laborer who has
thrown up his work and come to London
may regret the step he has taken, and yet
not be willing to run the risk of quarrcliDg
with his bread-and-butter twice over. The
true way of checking the agricultural
exodus is to give the Israelites solid reasons
for not crossing the Red sea. Up till now
we seem to have done little or nothing In
this way. In the south, at any rate, We
have everywhere been faced by the wages
question. The laborer complains that he
cannot live as he wishes to live on the
weekly sum which the farmer pays him.
The farmer complains that the work he
gets In return is not worth a penny moro
than what he gives for It, This is a diff
f1culty from which there appears to be no
escape. Neither side is prepared to take
the first step. The laborer will not do a

Of money. The farmer will not offer tho

than he used to get for his fifteen shillings.
If we allow our imagination to wander
further afield and picture to ourselves q
new peasant proprietary, We come at once
