record that this association has made
in that period is one that stands slight
chance of being duplicated in Vermont
or New England. 1.-THE best is none too
good" has always been the motto of
tine society and they have applied it to
the election of officers as well as to
the choosing of attractions for the

are men of ambition, energy and pur-
pose. They start with fair equip
ment that cannot be excelled in YER

the new president, has submitted to
the patrons and managers recommended

progression. Let there be no iealousies

those who are to engineer the 62nd

According to the report Of Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson, American farms
produced the past year wealth valued
at S6,4l5,o 900. The Railway World
in an editorial says;
agriculture is the leading business
interest in the United States in respect
TO the number of persons employed and
as to its contribution to the welfare of
the country. The best reason for be-
lieving in the stability of our present
prosperity is the strong position which
is now occupied by this interest, and
which is in striking contrast with the
desperate situation of the farmer ten
years ago. Even in the South, as vet
primarily dependent upon agriculture.
the deposits in the banks exceed one
billion dollars, and the purchasing power
OF the farmer, upon which every manu-
featuring and transportation industry
must depend. is safeguarded by large
Accommodations which make this group
of producers Independent of the ordinary
fluctuations in yield and prices"
When we are told that of the farm
products employed In manufacturing
industry in the United States during the
last census year $2,679, 100000, or forty
per cent of the total value of farm
products in 1905 was so utilized we
begin to realize that the agriculturist
is quite a heavy stakeholder in the
industrial field. 1t won't be many
years, according to census reports, be-
fore the trusts will find themselves alb
sorbed by the man with the hoe.

Important Movement in Advertis-

ing.
The creation of General Advertising
Department for the New York Central
Lines, and the placing in charge of that
department the veteran railroad adver-
tiser, George H. Daniels, who has been
for nearly twenty years the General
Passenger Agent of the New York Cen
trail Railroad, marks an era in the history
Of advertising in America.
The: New York Central Lines are the
firstigreat system to create an advertis-
ing department which covers all the
railways in their system, and the far
reaching( consequences of such a move
ment scannot be appreciated at first
sight, lbut this action on the part of the
management of these lines emphasizes
the value.ofi advertising generally, and
forces 1.-THE conclusion of strong belief
in the efficacy of railroad advertising in
particular.
Some idea of the importance of this
new department.can be had when it il
understood L.that it will control the
general advertising in America and in
foreign. countries of the New York Cen
trial, Boston and Albany, Lake Shore and
Michigani Southern, Michigan Central,
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and ST.
Louis, II Rutland, and Lake Erie and
Western railways and their leased lines,
havingls. their western terminals at
Chicago, st. Louis, and Cincinnati and
their eastern terminals at New York,
Boston land nMontreal, and embracing
more thanItwelve thousand miles of the
best equipped. railways in the world.
Mr.. Daniels has for many years been
firm believer in newspaper and maya
zine advertising, and, therefore, the
organization of the General Advertising
Department of the New York Central
Lines is of importance to every legitimate
publication!in America, daily, weekly or
monthly.
In an address before the New York
State Press Association few years ago,
Mr.. Daniels madeithe point that the rail-
road is the advance agent of commerce
and thatg railway advertising had been
of immense value to American manu-
facturers in calling the attention of the
whole world to the excellent work done
by our inventors and mechanics, as il
lustrated in the Empire State Express,
the Twentieth' Century Limited, and
other great trains that connect the east
with the west; the average foreigner
arguing that the men who are able to
turn out such machines must be able to
build almost anything, and that the
farm. machinery, and all kinds of in
dustrials machinery made in America.
must be of the very best quality. Rail
advertising has certainly been the
means of bringing thousands of men here
from foreign countries to investigate
our manufactures has wonderfully in
creased our foreign commerce.
Every legitimate newspaper and maya
zine publication in America will have a
direct interest in the General Advertis-
ing Department of the New York Central
Lines, and every advertising agent on
the contipent will take a new lease of
| life because of this endorsement of the
value of advertising.

Theodore Starrett, in the Architectural
Record.
Not the least remarkable thing about
the great terminal station which is now
beginning to rise from the two million
yard fill at the intersection of Massachu-
sets and Delaware avenues in Washing
ton is the fact that it is a monument in
enduring granite to the Chicago Worlds
Fair and its architect, Daniel H. Burn
ham. The White City is vanished like
beautiful dream, but its chief designer.
grown greater with the years, has pro-
duced in this building a structure which
surpasses the most beautiful of tie ephem-
eral creations of the vanished city.
The new terminal is less than the Cap
itol in one dimension only, that of height,
but, viewed from the northeast. it is the
dome alone that surpasses it in height.
In the dimension of length and breadth
it exceeds the Capitol the stations
length being go feet, as against the
Capitol's TAG feet 6 l-2 inches, and its
breadth being 343 feet inches, las against
the Capitors 27O feet 10 inches.
The cost of the entire improvement will
be about S14 900, 900 including track rear
rangement, the building of the new plaza
and the establishment of the new streets.
The Washington station will have no
large span train shed, as it has been
found that great sheds have not justified
their enormous cost They are always
dark, dirty and leaky, and in winter
afford small protection from the cold. In
this particular case an enormous train
shed SO near the Capitol was regarded as
tending to dwarf the dome of what must
remain the most notable building in
Washington. Instead of the train shed
there will be umbrella sheds, covering
each platform and wide enough to over
lap the trains End furnish protection
from the weather.
The exterior is to be of white granite
from Bethel, Vt. This material has an
interesting story connected with it. 1t
had previously been used in but few
buildings, although it lies in limitless
quantities in a hill back of Bethel. The
owner of the quarry or property on which
the quarry has been made was a crank
of the deepest dye, who, because his only
son was killed in railroad crossing acct
dent near the town, swore a solemn oath
that as long as he lived the material
should never be used except for tomb
nesand so it remained until his death.
whtn the property passed into the hands
of those who undertook the work of in
PRODUCING it as a building material.
IC required some considerable boldness
on the part of architect. as well as a
good brand of confidence in that archi-
tect on the part of his client, to choose an
untried material for so great and i'm.
portant building as the station, but the
whlteness of the granite fitted in with the
color of the architects dream, and now
that the dazzling, creamy white blocks
are beginning to show and give promise
for the finished work, it simply scores
another success for the men who dare
and do.
1t Is expected to have the building en-
closed next summer; and unless some I'M
expected setbacks are encountered it will
