For improved Highways

The bill calling for an appropria-
ton by the legislature Of 100000 for
state highways, and which has been
favorably reported by the committee
is undoubtedly a most practical meas
IRE. and it's passage would probably
better meet the approval OF the tax
payers as whole than almost any
ether new proposition. calling for any
considerable appropriation, now De-
fore the general assembly.
AS The News understands 1t, the
bill does not change the present plan
of helping every town that want such
help, but simply raises the limit for
State Aid from $500 to $1,000. The
towns can vote whatever appropria-
ton they please up to $1,000 and OF
course need not vote more than they
are doing now, unless they wish to do
SO Many towns probably would not
devote more money than at present
to permanent highways, while other
towns would avail themselves of the
limit of $1,000; enough quite likely
to make a decided increase in the mi
leage of permanent roads in the next
two years.
If there is a surplus remaining in
this proposed 100000 appropriation
after the towns have voted to get as
many dollars of State money as they
are willing to put up themselves, 1t
can be used on the highways where
the greatest number of people will be
the most benefited under any agree
ment which the State highway COM
missioner may deem advisable to
make with the town where the money
lis expended.
The terms of the measure will also
give the State highway commissioner
an opportunity to employ expert ser
vice in expanding the surplus, and
thus furnish an object lesson in com
plete State supervision of road build
ing, a feature that will be worth q
good deal in the future consideration
? Of permanent road construction.
It would also probably insure the
building of roads on the trunk line:
of the State in small towns which are
now and always will be financially
unable to do the work In all this
, the rights and advantages of State
/ aid for highways is retained as al
present for every town in the State
which wishes to take advantage Of 1t
Altogether, The News is convinced
that no scheme can be devised that
will have such practical and fan
reaching results, and keep the expen
dmre within the means OF the State
than will this plan. It is to be hoped
that the legislature will act favorab
ly upon this appropriation bill and Il
necessary-and it will be necessary
let other new measures calling fol
large appropriations go over for two
years.
Nothing will do as much for Yer
mont's growth and progress at this
time as good roads .-NorthfielC

kPERFECT CURE BY CUTICURA

when my little girl was six months
old | noticed small red spots on her right
cheek. They grew so large that | sent
for the doctor but, instead Of helping the
eruption, his ointment seemed to make
il worse. Then | went to a second doc
tor who said it was eczema. He also
gave me an ointment which cid not help
either. The disease spread all over the
face and the ewes began TO swell. The
itching grew intolerable and it was ter
rible sight TO see. | consulted doctors
for months, but they were unable to cure
the baby. l paid out from $50 to $50
without relief. One evening began to
use the Cuticura Remedies. The next
morning the baby's face was all white
instead Of red. ! continued until the

that history will ever be the most pro-

made up Of the nobility and aristoc-

anything either for the king or the peo-

indifference of the notables, Louis con-
voked the states general, which was
composed Of representatives Of the no

APPROVE LAND RULES
1t Is Now Possible to Assign Home
stead Entries in Whole or in
Part.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 23.-Sec-
rotary Ballinger, following the de-
mand of Senator Borah, has approved
the new instructions with reference
to the assignment of homestead en-
tries in reclamation projects where
the entrymen have completed five
years residence and cultivation as
required by the homestead law.
Under the new regulations entry
men are permitted, where the claim
involves two or more farm units, to
assign and transfer for qualified
persons one or more Of such units.
II the entryman desires to assign
part of farm unit heretofore es-
tablished he may be permitted to do
so upon finding by the government
that the farm unit as proposed to be
divided, or as capable of adjustment
in connection with surrounding land,
will make tJo or more farm units
each capable Of supporting a family.
In such cases the party desiring to
make assignment, or the proposed
assignee, will be required to deposit
sufficient amount to cover the cost
of any survey necessary to divide the
farm unit into two or more units
for the purpose of assignment.
Assignees will be required to con-
form to the terms of the reclamation
act. to file water right applications
and to make payments when due
upon lands included in assignments

Tho Roman Forum.

The Forum was originally market
place and only by degrees became the
center of Roman civic and political
life. About B. C. 40 it became the
place of assembly Of the people in
their tribes and was gradually adorn-
ed with temples and other great pub
lie buildings. The Roman Forum-the
Acropolis at Athens alone excepted
is perhaps the most thrillingly inter
esting spot on earth to such as know
and appreciate the teachings Of his
tory. From the Forum came the au-

known world for more than thou
