An Advertising Thought.

| am uncompromisingly opposed to
billboard advertising for the following
established reasons: First, billboard and
other forms of outdoor advertising con-
stitute second or third grade of profit
able publicity. By many prominent and
successful advertisers they are classed as
illegitimate methods of advertising.
Comparatively few advertisers consider
them of more than secondary value.
Ninety per cent of the better class of
advertisers refuse to use them at all.
The fundamental basis of all good adver-
Using, whether it be of national or local
character, is vested in the newspaper
and periodical of the regular issue. All
other methods are worth comparatively
little unless used in conjunction with
newspaper or periodical advertising.
The economy of business as well as that
ofevery other estate, separates things
into the proper and the improper
Successful advertisers, as rule-those
who have studied advertising conditions
and know how to weigh advertising
values-divide advertising into two
primary classes: First, the legitimate.
which includes advertising space in the
newspaper or other periodical; and,
secondly; other forms of advertising,
which include the billboard and other
more or less questionable advertising
schemes. Something for nothing isn't
business, and is worth what is paid for
it. The advertisement which the reader
pays for the privilege of seeing is worth
a dozen times more than the advertise
ment thrust upon him.-[Nathaniel c.
Fowler, advertising expert.

Married at Montpelier.

Our readers will be interested in the
report which was given in the Mont
pelier papers of the wedding of Fred E.
Everett, formerly employed in c. c.
Bingham's drug store, and which took
place at Montpelier last week Tuesday.
"The home of Mr.. and Mrs. c. c. Bliss
on Winter street was the scene of quiet
home wedding Tuesday noon, when Miss
Eva NJ, their daughter, and Fred E.
Everett were married by Rev. L. F. Reed
in the presence of the immediate family
of the bride. The bride was becomingly
dressed in cream silk trimmed with
applique and lace The ceremony was
performed in the parlor, a wedding
dinner being served afterward. The
bride, who is a popular young lady in
the city has made her home with her
parents, having been student of Mont
pelier seminary in the shorthand depart
ment. The groom is employed in the
drug store of Harry A. Slade, where he
has made many friends since coming to
this city from Bradford. He is son of
DR.. and Mrs. F. H. Everett. The
marriage occurred on the birthday of
Mrs. Everett The groom's gift to the
bride was brooch set with opals and
pearls.
The young couple received numerous
wedding presents, among them being cut
glass, silverware and money. After
spending the afternoon at the home of
the bride, they left on a short wedding
tour. Upon their return they will make
their home in the house of c. ]. Brown
near Liberty street, which has recently
been completed for their occupancy"

An Over Churched Village.

An item going the rounds of the state
press asserts that West Rutland, with
its 5000 inhabitants probably has more
churches in proportion to it's size than
any other town in New England, the
Jewish synagogue recently completed
bringing the number up to nine, all of
different denominations. The town also
supports a Congregational, Baptist,
Methodist, Episcopal, Irish Catholic,
French Catholic, Welsh and Polish
church and nearly all are on a sound
financial basis. The reason which brings
all these sects together in such small
towns the work offered by the Vermont
Marble Co. The firm employs largely
foreigners in its quarries and they are
church going people. The company has
contributed to the building of nearly all
the church edi6ces.
1t should be added that the Congre-
gational church once covered the entire
territory alone and was for many years
one of the strongest in the state.

Hens Pay II They Lay.

What is more aggravating than the
refusal of the biddy to lay when eggs are
high7
The poultryman oftentimes sputters
and scolds and proposes to live on poul-
try until every hen is eaten, forgetting
that the biddy always does her duty
when she is supplied with the necessary
ingredients for producing eggs. She likes
TO lay and then talk about it after she
has done the job, but she does not like to
work when she is cold, chilly and poorly
supplied with warm, stimulating food.
If she could speak good English, she
would tell you that she would like few
rations each week of green cut bone and
meat; that she would like warm, clean
home to live ina home with plenty of
sunshine and southern exposure. CAR

ideals and good impulses, whose advice
and services were frequently sought by
his people. For several years he was one
of the selectmen of his town and received
the unusual distinction of being its repre-
sentative in the General Assembly two
terms, 1894 and in 1904; the latter year
he served as a valued member on the
important and exacting committee on
highways, bridges and ferries. He was
modest almost to timidity, and never
engaged in public discussion upon the
floor of the House, but always attentive
to matters of legislation. He was care
full and considerable in the discharge of
his duties, and was particularly safe in
his conclusions. He was watchful and
attentive to all the interests of his
constituents, and in all his useful life
seemed to find his greatest pleasure in
trying to oblige others. He had firmly
established for himself the character of
a good Christian citizen, a loving and
devoted husband, kind and affectionate
father, an honest public servant and
secured for his memory an honorable
place in the history of his town and
county

To rise upon some fairer shore

An Adventurous Verm0nter.
The Romantic Career of Capt. j.
Thompson of Lyndon.

A Vermonter whose career, could it be
known in detail, all that he went through
and saw, would furnish material for
hundreds of novels of adventure, died
the other day peacefully in his bed. The
Vermonter in question was ]. S. Thomp-
son and he hailed from that home Of
Yankees, Lyndon Centre. He was 20
years old, when the California fever
spread over the country, and, catching
the Infection, he proceeded to the Pacific
coast, making the trip by way of Cape
Horn. He spent several years in the new
Ell Dorado, prospecting as far as Colo
RADIO on the east and Washington on the
north.
In 1852 Commodore Perry sailed on
his famous expedition to Japan, which
opened the way to intercourse between
that country and the western world.
Mr. Thompson joined the expedition and
for three years cruised about the coasts
of Japan, China, etc.
Returning to California, Mr.. Thomp-
son soon went to Nicaragua to live and
prospered nicely for year. Then one
fine day Capt. William Walker, the
famous filibuster, landed with a little
army. The Nicaraguan government
proceeded to impress every man it could
lay its hands upon, and Mr.. Thompson
was one of the conscripts. Nothing 10th,
he shouldered a musket and went forth
to do battle for the country of his resi-
dence. But in an engagement with the
tiilibusters he suffered a wound from
which he never fully recovered, and this
put an end to his soldering temporarily.
When the war for the Union broke out
MIR. Thompson managed to come home
ION sailing vessel, but to his digust was
mot allowed to enlist on account of his
Nicaraguan wound. He persevered,
however, and in 1862 he was mustered
S'n as private in one of the Vermont regi-
#anents and served through the rest of the
war, rising to the rank of captain. In
the last victorious assault upon the
#fortitications around Petersburg. he was
Sseverely wounded, but managed to come
home with his regiment, when all hands
were mustered out. The next year,
unfortunately, he was married, and this,
OF course, brought to an end his adven-
lures as wanderer.
But surely he had seen and done
enough to make a record for single
hietlme.- Burlington News.
