WHAT ARE WE DOING?

The tribune asserts tHdt lile Ca
press package continues to get in its
nefarious, debauching, soulkilling
work in Ludlow and the community
is helpless" Evidently they do not
vote as they drink in Ludlow.-Mont-
pelier Argus.
Will the Argus kindly stand up and
tell us what relation there is under
existing law, getween a mo" vote.and
the express package The latter
comes into Ludlow, and goes into
Montpelier in spite of the mo vote;
and. aside from the privilege of lock
ing up the inebriated partaker of the
contents, Montpelier is as helpless
against the devastating influence of
the express package as is Ludlow.
Yet Montpelier-to her credit be ii
said-votes NO. Ludlow Tribune.
And the same thing was just the
same under prohibition and is the
same the world over. 1t isn't a new
theory but is, we believe. the true one
that it isn't the express package or
the absence of it that is the real
stain on civilization. II is the con
dition of mind and body that creates
the demand for it and makes that de-
mand so insistent that it will go to
any length to get it and then by means
of it descends to still worse excesses.
The problem for Ludlow and Montpel
Ter and Bennington is what TO do to
lessen the demand.
Are we enforcing the child labor
laws? Are we giving our boys chance
to learn useful trade before they get
along to an age where the necessities
of life will drive them to take any
job that can be, had? Are we letting
our girls from the critical age of thir.
teen to eighteen run around the
streets nights; not knowing who they
are associating with or to what temp
tations they are exposed? Are we
compelling our school boards to have
| manual training, business methods,
rudiments of some of the best trades,
bookkeeping, etc. taught to the boys
and, cooking, sewing, mending etc,
to the girls; or are we whining about
taxes and leaving the children and
young men and young women to shift
for themselves?
Gutter trained and stable educated
boys and girls will not raise the stan
dard of citizenship. Do we drain our
sewers into our water supply and then
expect the stream to run pure? Isn't
it equally important to protect the
stream of youth that is flowing from
this in future generations. down to
the most remote posterity? One move
ment for the good now may be the
start of an influence that will make
nation undreamed of today better
or greater a thousand years hence,
We are what we are and that is
mostly what heredlty and early train
ing has made us. We may hold our
habits and our appetitites somewhat
in check and control but that is about
all. But we can make our communi-
ties better by insisting on better
schools, better Libraries, better hospit-
ais. better opportunities for the young,
even though they cost us more of our
hard earned money We can frown
on scandal and obscenity and encour-
age honesty and cleanness of living
and thinking and dealing. We can't
change our own spots but the coming
generation will be what We make il
In the long run people will size you
up about right. What are you doing?

A PRODUCT OF DIXIE

Cotton has always been one of the principal resources of the South. In former days. only the Gotten lint was valued and preserved. The seed was thrown away as worthless. In recent years, however. tue skill and genius of experts have developed this waste product until now the Cotton Seed on adds millions of dollars each year to the wealth of the South.
 Foremost in perfecting methods of refining and utilizing the oil have been The N. K. Fair bank Company. They first appreciated the need of a cooking fat more clean and whole some than that made from the fat of the hog, In the manufacture o. Cottolene they have changed Cotton Seed Oll into a cooking fat as wholesome as olive oil yet SO pure and neutral that many housewives use It in place of butter in making fine cake.

Group Cured and ChiId's Life Saved.

It affords me great pleasure to add my testimony to that of the thousands who have been bene- fted by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. My child, Andrew, when only three years old, was taken with severe attack of croup, and thanks to the prompt use of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy his life was saved and today he is robust and healthy boy" says Mrs. A.. Coy, IT,, of San Antonio, Texas. This remedy has been in use many years. Thousands of mothers keep it at hand, and it has never been known to fail For sale by all dealers.

A Rattlesnake Farm.

Texas now has a snake farm. It is known as ''Rattlesnake Ranch, " and is on the Mexican border, near Brownsville. The snakes are sent there from several states and terri tories. The hunter leases the snake until it coils to strike. Then a leather moose is dropped over it's head. The captor drags the snake to camp. It takes strong man to negotiate an enraged rattler when fully aroused and writhing with his immense power of muscle, for the creatures weigh many pounds, are from six to nine feet long, and sometimes as thick as mans leg. The snake is next put into a box with a sliding lid. This lid is carefully drawn back until the snake protrudes hls head, ana IL IS then shot forward so as to clinch the neck behind the head. The snakes head is now forced back over the siGe of the box until the jaws close on the rim of the glass just as if the snake had struck. This is done to collect the deadly virus, which runs down the side in- to the glass and is bottled for sale to physicians and chemists.

THE IMPOSSIBLE.
u Lies Just Beyond the Limit Of Our
Own Understanding.

u Lies just Beyond the Limit Of Our
Own Understanding.
Here Is a striking parable by Miss
L. Fox Howard. which we take from
the "Friends' Fellowship Papers,"
"a dog tried to open door. He
scratched II. threw himself against II,
struggled to get his nose under II and
burrow his way out. but at last he
decided that the door would not open
and never could open. 50 he lay down
before 1t and went to sleep.
"A child was watching the dog. and
he laughed and turned the handle with
his small fingers. and the door was
open. Then he took book. and. sit
ting on the floor, he turned over the
leaves one by one and gazed at the
queer black marks upon them without
knowing what they meant. for he was
a very little child and he could not
read. As there were no pictures to be
found he tossed II away.
But boy picked up the book and
laughed and read page after page OF a
wonderful fairy tale. Then he went
to school and puzzled his head over a
sum which had to be brought to the
class that morning. Try as he might
the sum would not prove, and the boy
said: I can't do 1t. I'm sure 1t can't
be done. There must be mistake In
the book
But the pupils teacher laughed.
and. taking the blotted exercise book
from the boy. he quickly worked out
and proved the sum. Then he turned
to his own studies and went into the
laboratory. for he was learning chem
istry. All the morning he labored
among the gases and the acids, but he
could not get the right combinations
and only succeeded in making loud
explosion. It's all rubbish to say that
potash and carbon form potassium he
said. They simply explode. and ! de-
fy any one to say they don't!
"But the master. who had heard the
noise. came and took It into his own
hands. and soon the metal was drop
ping from the condenser. After school
was over the master, who was getting
an old man. sat In his study reading
paper on modern scientific thought.
AS he read his brow darkened. and Mt
last he flung 1t down and said: 1t is
monstrous idea. How can the crea-
ton Of the world have taken millions
Of years? The good old Bible account
Of the six days Of creation Is good
enough for me- And he wrote an
angry letter Of remonstrance to the
great professor who had sent him the
paper.
"But the professor only smiled. for
he was geologlst and had read the
message Of the rocks. He himself.
one Of the deepest thinkers Of the day.
sat late into the night among his
books. trying to &c some newly discov-
cred laws OF physics into his schemes
Of things and to bring his mind nearer
to a solution Of the great why OF the
universe. At last he bowed his head
and said: 1T Is impossible. Facts are
too conflicting. ! cannot explain them,
and I doubt II there IL any explana-
tion.'

understanding lies the impossible"
