as brisk and steady, but it is also said
that owing to the fact that many are

Look about over the hills and valleys
at the neglected and abandoned farms.
Where are the BOYS who should be cult
waiting this land and increasing the value
OF our property; Too often drifting
about the streets oftown or city. Why?
Because Vermont is not awake to her
privilege. She is allowing her boys to
become attracted by the false glamour
OF the city and losing them, instead of
providing home and education. This
is what Kurn Hattin aims to do. To
provide clearly, wholesome surroundings
for unfortunate boys; to give them edu-
cation along practical lines and hold
them until habits of industry and fruga-
lity are formed. More than all, to teach
them to love the soil and to realize its
possibilities in health and wealth so that
they will become independent, self sup
porting citizens. This can only be done
by joining hands as one people in this
hour of great need and providing funds
to rebuild on the old site which is all
that can be desired for location. We
teel that 1t will be only necessary to
impress the people with the real need and
ready response which Vermonters
always give to all true, genuine appeals.
Remember it takes time to build. Our
New England summer is short. The
boys must have a home before cold
weather comes again. The trustees wish
to avoid all indebtedness in the future.
They believe in the good old maxim.
Owe no man anything" Help them
carry out this policy and begin "the
New Kurn Hattin' without hindrance
by sending a check or pledge
soon, to the treasurer, f. L. Walker,
Bellows Falls, Vt. Any other informa-
ion can be furnished from that Office.
Watch this paper tor further reports of
his work and the growth of the fund.
Help make this report a good one.

Plans are now complete for a svste-

funds for new Home to take the place
OF the large building at Westminster

this emergency ami rebuild with proper
equipment, the trustees of whom Hon.
W. J. Van Patten is president. vote to
raise the sum OF $4,000. A friend of
the Home, who has already given largely
toward the new school building which
mas just been finished on the West
munster property at once pledged So
900 toward this new fund. This has
been increased by smaller subscriptions
so that already there is a nucleus of
$4,000 Circular letters have been sent
out to every church. Sunday school and
young peoples society asking for definite
pledges. Pulpit and press are uniting in
urging this great and immediate need
upon the citizens of our state. This is
Vermont's great opportunity. Stop for
moment and consider what this work
means to Vermont.

CONGRESSMAN HaSklnS.

The situation in the Second Congress
sional district is inteligently presented
in another column by an excerpt from
the Brattleboro Retormer and the friends
of Congressman Haskins will heartily
endorse the RefOrmer's attitude that he
is more useful in Congress today than at
any other time in his official career. Yer
mont has recently lost the strongest
man in the Senate, whose place cannot
be filled by the best man in the State
without having the long experience
which Senator Proctor had. We do
not want to lose our influence in the
House for similar period of years and
at the same time displace an efficient
public servant for a worthy man who
has had no Congressional expert
ence. As chairman of the committee on
claims Congressman Haskins has a
tremendous influence in Congress and he
can get for Vermont what a new man
could not possibly obtain, and he also
holds position which new Congress
man could not expect to occupy for
good many years.

moDters that Taft cannot be nominated
at Chicago when 231 delegates are
already pledged to him, not counting
Massachusetts where the Taft people
were pretty we'll satisfied with FRIDAYS
convention. At the latter gathering
they got the substance of things desired
and avoided what would have been a
bad split. The senator's were beaten,
but the compromise saved them and the
district conventions are more than likely
to send Taft delegates. We do not
favor an instructed delegation from Yer.
mont, but if Mr.. Harris was up here
among his country constituents he would
lind Taft sentiment in the state that
might surprise him.

do something larger, which
he knows that he was meant and
