I'VE reaffirm our position stated once
before, that whereas many towns are
manifestly over churched, in some com
paratively small communities more good
work can be done by two churches than
by one Honest competition need not
mean hostility. And we think it would
be wisdom if a denomination that is sup
porting a dying society in, village
where there are three or four competing
societies would let such a poor and
weakling thing the pressure of finger
would crush die, and double the aid in
a village of fewer spires.
1--WE recommend that a secretary be
selected to give more of his time to a
careful study of the situation, that he

raise money for necessary expenses, such
funds to be expended under the supervi-
sion of the executive committee of this
body"
1t was voted to adopt the recommend
alton, and the executive committee after

get any workingman to accept a din

absolutely right. The On thing that
can take the place of sugar here /,
beer or wine. 1t is a significant fact
that the free lunch counters run in
connection with bars furnish every
imaginable thing except sweets Even
the restaurants and lunch grills at
tached to saloons or bars often refuse
to serve desserts of any sort. They
know their business! The more sugar

Meeting of Committee on Interde-
nOminatiOnal Comfy.

The annual meeting was held at Mont
pelier, Friday, January 10, with a
quorum present representing the Baptist,
Congregational, Methodist and Free
Baptist bodies. The committee appoint
ed last year, consisting of Rev K. F.
Lowe OF st. Adams and Rev. l.. F. Reed
OF Montpelier, made the following report:
'If the Year books of the various
churches were always reliable and if
various necessary data were differently
classified it would be far easier to disin.
tegrate the Gordian knot before us. Our
plan has been to make study of the re-
hglous situation in the smaller towns of
our state. Accordingly we selected those
towns whose population was between
100 and 1000, excepting those where
there was a regular Roman Catholic
church. We numbered them alphabet
cally and tried to ascertain such facts as:
the population, number of churches, sala-
ry, missionary aid received, benevolent
money raised, and church membership
Ii we could have ascertained accurately
what we desired our tables would indi-
cate something worth while"
The tables which followed the com
mittee desired not to have published
They appeared to show that in one.
church towns, with an average popula-
ton OF 500, the church membership was
81, the income $515, the missionary aid
SAL, and the benevolences $57. In the
two-church towns, the population was
1903, membership total 70, income $500,
missionary aid $14 and benevolences SSS.
The three-church towns gave only an
aggregate membership of II. Follow
ing this the committee say:
From such imperfect data it is hazard
Gus to state any general conclusions.
Yet it would seem as though the two
church towns make little better show
ing relatively. From our reading it
would appear that the Episcopal church
spends the largest sums upon individual
churches, and the Methodist the smallest;
yet the latter expend money over con,
siderable area.

PRESS COMMENT.
Small Business.

When certain members of the Vermont
delegation suggested to President Roose-
welt that Judge lde of st. Johnsbury was
open to an appointment in the judiciary or
diplomatic service, they were pointedly
and even strenuously informed that Yer
mont had more than it was entitled to al
ready. Judge lde is now taking an active
interest in presidential politics and it
will be interesting to watch and see
what follows Burlington Free Press
We don't quite like the tone of this.
We infer that President Roosevelt de-
clined to consider Judge lde as a candi-
date for Judiciary or diplomatic service
on the ground that Vermont already has
more than it is entitled to; and that
Judge lde, in his disappointment and
to get even" with the president, will do
his utmost to beat the presidents known
choice for the presidential nomination.
II true, this makes out Judge Ide to be
a much smaller man than we have
estimated him, and of calibre that
might well induce the appointing power
to question his personal capacity for
the place sought
Judge lde had right to seek further
public service-though he has already
been well used and highly honored in
that department, and a return to civil
life might not do him harm. The Yer
mont delegation of course performed
their duty, which was also doubtless a
pleasure, in urging Ide's nomination.
But if the president, in the exercise of his
judgment, thought best to rule Ide out
on the ground that Vermont is already
well provided for, that should end it-he
had right to. There should be no
Indian tactics on the part of Idle or his
friends. Ifhe was for Taft before land
it was formerly reported that he had
agreed to deliver Vermont for Taft) he
should still be for him. If he isn't, folks
will know why, and it will hurt Idle. not
Taft.
We say this, although our first prefer
ence is not for Taft. Let's get above the
kid level in this business Randolph

Manual Training in Rockingham

Manual training has been introduced
into the schools of the town of Rocking

an excellent course in drawing under the
direction of competent supervisor

shop work, sewing. and cooking. Only
the first five, possibly shop work nclud-
ed, will be taken up this present school

regular work in sewing shop work and
cooking Miss Baker will have general
charge of the manual work but will be
assisted by different teachers. Supt. B.

Excellent Advice to Young Men and
Women on Saving the Pennies.

1t is fact that people in general have
little conception of the cumulative power
of compound interest.
Money at compound interest grows
night and day, ceaselessly, and when
compounded semi annually grows to an
extent that very few realize unless they
have taken the trouble to figure it out.
How many young men there are that
waste, in ways that are often worse than
useless, the hard earned dollars of their
younger days and come down to old age
in poverty
How few young men there are who
could not at the age of fifteen begin to
save at least ten cents per day
Even this moderate sum, if placed at
semi-annual compound interest, would
produce surprising results.
Here is what it would amount to at
four percent. compounded semi-annually,
commencing at fifteen and continuing
until the ages of 25, 80, As, So, 90 and rs.

A la Mother Goose"

LITTLE JACK HORNER
Hid in the corner
While his shirt was in the wash,
He had taken it where
They do nothing but tear,
Till he'd come to his last, b'gosh!
OLD MOTHER HUBBARD
Went to the cupboard
To see if the clothes were clean,
But when she got there
The sight made her swear
Not piece was fit to be seen.
LITTLE MISS MUFFET
She got in huff at
The way her shirt-waist was done.
Said she: ITO be frank,
This is decidedly rank"
And she came to us on the run.
And so you'll agree
There's but one way to be
That's careful, prompt and 0. X
And you patronize US
There'll be an end to all fuss
And, besides, you'll find twill pay.
