to think of Mount Mansfield as
mountain resort that we may hav,
overlooked the claims of Camel
: Hump to be developed. The noun
tain is easy of access, and, o
course, it gives a fine view from
it's summit. The same can be sait
of any of the mountains in New
England, almost, for the Who'll,
section of this country is pictur
esque. We are glad to hear that ;
determined movement to develol
Cancels Hump as resort is wei
underway. Waterbury is the hom'
of this enterprise, and this is wha
the Record has to say of its planl
and possibilities:
"Camel's Hump is coming more
and more prominently before the
summer guests as an ideal noun
tain resort. In the vicinity of u
people were on this mountain las
| week, and no one climbs up ovel
the lodges who does not feel vel
repaid for the effort. The view
from this mountain far surpasses
all others-this with the invigorat-
ing mountain air gives one all thai
is to be desired. The local CamePs
Hump club is doing its part tow
ard developing the mountina and
has engaged keeper to look af-
ter the property and care for the
guests. The time is not far distant
when we hope to see house on
| this mountain, the same to be run
in connection with the Waterbury
| Inn. The local club should incor-
porate and sufficient stock could
be sold to erect the house and build
roads. Cancels Hump as a noun
tain resort is only in its infancy.
The future looks bright. The bust
ness men of Duxbury and Water
bury should work together for the
| interests of this resort. 1t means
much to both towns.
Buster Brown says many apt
things in his resolves at the end
of his pranks. Buster says:
"That figure heads are not con-
fined to shop windows, they are to
be found in every walk and run of
life. They are block heads that do
no thinking. I don't want to be
one, l want to think. To think
we'll of every one, think happy
thoughts, kind thoughts and
healthy thoughts, to think success
for "as a man thinketh in his heart
so is he" The figure head is al
ways an employee, he only repre-
sents the man who thinks. Every
great invention, bridge, ship,
building, opera, book, picture or
poem was first a thought; had to
be. So you see that thoughts are
actual things. See if you cannot
think something. A young man
thinks there are no opportunities
for boys like there used to be, so
when a chance comes he doesn't
see it. Another boy thinks that
the only road to success is pull,
or through influence, so he doesn't
work for himself and hustle. He
fails. Think 81 can and l will" 1t
works"
The signing of the tariff bill,
last week, made it law. Business
which has been unsettled ever since
the tariff revision has been agi-
tated, now knows what is to be ex-
pected, and to this certainty there
should be a response. An upward
movement is expected from most
parts of the country. The bill is
not perfection, we have that from
President Taft. In fact, the presi-
dent does not claim that it is a
complete compliance with the
promises made strictly interpreted
which will surprise no one, as we
realize better now than we did at
the time of the making of those
pledges, the obstacles in the way
of adjusting the tariff. But it is a
much better bill than at one time
seemed possible. The proof of the
pudding is in the eating, and after
a few months the public will be
better able to pronounce it good
or bad as it affects the prices for
the necessities of life.
