OPPORTUNITIES NEAR HOME.
Progressive Towns Offer Excellent
Advantages for Young Men.

Students In sociology have recent.
ly expressed pessimistic views as to
chances for the success Of young men
OF country districts. There has been
no denying of the fact that the farm
affords splendid opportunity for
those inclined towards pastoral life.
but II is maintained that OF recent
years conditions preclude any great
chances for the average young man
to succeed in the average business
vocation. That Is that the channels
for his development are being made
more narrow year after year through
the formation Of corporations and
trusts for the control OF various in.
dustries. In other words, the cen
tralization of business is considered
detrimental to the pursuing OF busi-
ness in mercantile lines on q small
scale.
This subject is open to wide discus
sion. Cities and towns OF the United
States are rapidly building up. The
population of the country is increas-
ing wonderfully. With this increase
in population new opportunities pre-
Stul themselves lDT NHt tAtltlSt Va
intelligent endeavor. The towns. par
ticularly of the west, are embryo cit
les, and the little village OF to-day
will be the large city quarter cen
tury hence. Almost every town af-
fords the progressive young man a
chance for business success. Oppor-
tunities are plentiful for those who
have the foresight to discover them.
Towns are built up where are certain
natural advantages and their growth
is dependent upon the territory that
they can draw support from, or upon
some particular advantage that they
may possess favorable to manufacture
Ing along certain lines. The oppor-
tunities for young men are TO some
extent guaged by the life and prog.
ress of the towns. Heads OF families
look forward to the time when their
sons may enter into business or pro
fessional life. Ties of kinship are
strong and few parents care to have
grown sonE and daughters far away
from them. In this is discovered a
reason why residents Of a rural dis
trict should take more than ordinary
interest in the home town. The more
important the local town the greater
are the opportunities for the young
men of the neighborhood engaging in
business in 1t. In thousands of cities
and towns OF the United States the
leading business men to-day are the
boys who were farmers sons quar-
ter or half century ago. In modest
ways they started in business in the
home town. and with the progress OF
the town developed as business men.
The opportunities that were opened
to those youths are still open to the
youths of to-day. but remember that
many of these men would not have
been the great business men they are
today only for the fact the towns
where they located were progressive
places which gave the opportunity to
succeed

been melancholy and Respondent since
the death of his wife, who was drown

FRANK Z. HOWE. Editor and Publisher
Court Expenses Increase.

Newspaper readers in Vermont who
have given any thought to state affairs
have noted the past year that terms of
court have been longer in nearly all
the counties and especially in the
three large counties, Rutland, Wash
ington and Chittenden and 1t is stated
that the increase in court expenses
is beginning to worry State Auditor
Graham and other state officials.
For several years previous to this
year the supreme court and the several
county courts have been unable to
keep up with business and the result
was that dockets grew and grew. On
~ the more pressing cases were tried,
while the others were continued in the
hope that there might be let-up in
the future, but the expected relief did
not come.
Last fall the legislature took hold Of
the matter and provided more judges
anu TedTTdHBtu lHc Soult SsotSih VI
the state so that the supreme court
was free to give all its time to ap-
pealed cases, while the superior judges
presided in the county courts.
The result has justified the change
in expedating court business, but it
was not foreseen that, owing to the
congested dockets in every county, the
terms of court have been greatly
heightened in order to clear up this old
business that has been hanging from
year TO year.
Enough has now transpired TO show
that for this year and for several
years to come the court expenses OF
the state must be much larger than
in the past. This condition is bound
TO continue until the dockets get back
to normal again. There is no large in
crease in litigation. 1t is merely the
doing of those things which had been
left undone, and, while temporarily
expensive, it was sure TO come sooner
or later and every year it was de-
ferred only made the matter worse.

LAWSON AND BILL" GREENE
From "The Real Lawson" by Frank
Fayant in Success Magazine"


The newspapers on Wednesday
morning carried half page savage at
tack on lawson over the signature OF
William c. Greene. Ii was a perfect
piece of work. so perfect that it was
plainly evident that Greene had not
written 1t. Only master. a man
schooled in the use OF invectiye, could
have penned that terrible indictment.
| Greene closed his attack with this
threa
Tomorrow, in Boston, shall call
upon you. | for many years have
stood as a worker, as a man who has
built up and who has created and
know the savings of lifetime of many
honest investors have been swept
| away by the falsehoods that you have
spread abroad through the public
press. Tomorrow at your office, |
shall denounce You for what you are.
The Master long ago said: BY your
works We shall be Judged Personally
| shall call upon you for your answer
tomorrow"
Bill Greene had the reputation Of
being gun-fighter. He had killed
his man-there were notches on mis-
gun stock. In the Wall street game
II is always allowable to empty the
other fellows pockets, but murder is
tabooed And so Wall street gasped
and then laughed AT the copper min
er's threat Wall and State streets
eagerly awaited the encounter. Greene
despite the entredties oi his friends,
hurried over to Boston lin the luxury
of New Haven limited train) and
went TO the Touraine (Boston's most
luxurious hoteD. Lawson stuffed
three pistols in his pockets and an
nounced that he would wait for the
Arizona guntighter on the steps Of the
old State House. The selection of the
State House steps for the scene of the
climax of the drama was worthy of
Belasco, the playwright. Lawson
waited there on the steps for Greene,
while the eXpectant crowd of passers-
by eagerly awaited the meeting. But
Greene did not come. Then Lawson
went boldly up to the Touraine-and
sent up his card The gunfighter ac-
cepted the challenge. He asked Law
son to come up to his rooms. The two
men met. No shots were fired. A
little later the Wall Street news tic
kers received this bulletin by tele-
graph:
Greene and Lawson bombard'ng
each other with champagne corks.
No lives lost, but great damage done 10
the Touraine wine cellars
Hours afterwards Greene and Law
son appeared arm in arm, and each
told what a good fellow the other was.
And the melodrama became a comedy
"a farce. That was the end Of the
Lawson panic. Stocks began to re-
cover, and the bull market was soon
going merrily along again. Investors
guessed, too, that Lawson had made n
fortune out Of their hysteria, for II
soon became common gossip that the
Boston operator had sold big line of
Amalgamated at top prices before he
shrieked SELL" and had bought 1t
back from his followers cheap in the
midst of the panic when he was shrek
ing SELL" the loudest. And this gos-
sip was the naked truth. Lawson had
made hundred of thousands OF dollars
beyond the cost of his advertising.

Pays 4 Per Cent Interest on Deposits.

The New England Farmer, the old
agricultural standby of New England
believes that the policy of keeping the
Vermont money at home is popular
and wise one. 1t says:
The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust Co., Hyde Park, VT, of
which Ex-Gov Carroll S. Page is pres
ident, is run upon wise principle,
one which the farmers who patronize
it would do well to apply in their gen.
eral business transactions. This bank
believes in keeping its money at home.
That its policy is profitable as well
as popular one is indicated by the fact
that it about to pay per cent interest
on deposits left with it year or
more.
