In two early-morning flights Wilbur

The two flights lasted eight minutes
altogether. on account of a breeze which
sprang up shortly after Wright as

had time 20 do some instructinE of his
two pupils IN the time that he was up.

After the machine had been put in
the shed Mr. Wright and Lieutenant
Humphreys made an inspection trip on
foot over the field. Most of the stunps,
which remained after the preliminary
work had been done, have been removed
throuFh the use of dynamite, but a few
places still can be improved. Before

The prize winning Dorset sheep
from the Colgate farms have begun
their annual tour of triumph by TAX
ing the major bunch of blue ribbons
at the Ohio state fair at Columbus
this week Nowhere in the world are
there better natural sheep farms than
among the hills of Vermont Some
twenty years or so ago the sheep
business in Vermont was badly shat
tered by the development OF the great
sheep ranges of the west, but this
competition of the west is now
gone, for the best OF the ranges
have been taken up by small farms.
Again it is possible to make money
every year through sheep farming in
Vermont. The first requisite is TO
get a rifle and shoot all the stray
dogs running loose in the neighbor-
hood, but with these once tninned
out the raising of sheep is sure TO
bring good returns if attended to in
reasonably businesslike manner.

The Next Governor

While other would be candidates
for the governorship are hanging
back hoping for assurance of support,
DR.. Mead is making hay and it is
truly surprising to see tle amount of
strength the Rutland man is develop
ing. He appears to have enthusiastic
friends in every town and it is already
evident that his strength with the
old soldiers, the farmers and others
is bearing fruit. The other candi-
dates will have to be up and doing
soon or they will start long distance
in the rear.-Bennington Banner.
No doubt tne Bennington neighbor
has sized up the situation pretty ac-
curately in the above. While a num-
Der of possible candidates for the gov
ernorship have been acting modestly
in the matter and the newspapers
have been advising a cessation from
political activity during the summer
months. DR.. Mead has been getting
things into shape for his campaign.
If reports are true tne Rutland gen.
tleman has already secured the SER
vice of a good many political work
ers" and preparatios are being made
for a demonstration in his favor at
the coming Fish and Game league
meeting.
With such tactics, plenty of money
for campaign purposes and a total
disregard of the dignity which could
go with a candidacy for the higa
office of chief executive of Vermont,
it must be confessed that it will take
a brave man to oppose DR.. Mead
The fact is, as has often been said,
a man of ability in moderate circum-
stances financially, cannot afford to
actively aspire for the governorship-
and therein lies the hope of DR..
Meads candidacy.
But after all, the matter is with the
voters. If they would simply take
things into their own hands and unite
upon some progressive citizen of CUB
ernatorial size there would be no diff
ficulty about nominating and electing

With a deficit of twenty million dol
lars in the postoffice department in
one year there is a good opening for
the curtailment of government extrav-
agance. The deficit is largely due to
the reports and documents sent free
by congressman and senators and the
various departments at Washington.
These documents are of value for ref
erence only and in most cases are
simply thrown away and wasted
These documents and reports might
well be sent to Libraries at public ex-
pense, but should not be sent to pri-
vate individuals uness these indivi-
duals are willing to at least pay the
postage on them.
