NJ. v. 3. Vance.

On Friday, July Goth, occurred the
funeral of the late Senator M. V. b.
Vance. The townspeople, together with
many from surrounding towns, gathered
in large numbers as mark of respect
and love for their departed friend and
neiShbor.
The entire community has been
shrouded in gloom since the intelligence
of the severe stroke of apoplexy which
befell Mr.. Vance Sunday afternoon,
July "a.
The relatives and near friends of the
deceased gathered with the immediate
family at the house where brief services
were held, then the remains were borne
to the Congregational church escorted
by the color bearers of the W R. c.,
the q. A. r. as guard of honor, the
local body of the W. r. C., Moose
River Lodge, No. 80, of the +. & A. NJ,

Summer and Fall Top Dressing
and SEEDING Down.

Many farmers are finding 1t to their
advantage to seed down during the sum
mer and fall, claiming that 10y so doing
they are apt to get a much better
'.catch" than they do when they follow
the usual practice and seed down in the
spring.
The same is true regarding top-dress'
ing grass land. Some Of the most pro,
gresslve farmers put on top-dressing i'm
mediately after haying, with perhaps a
small application of nitrate of soda the
following spring.
If you will send your name and p. O
address to Carroll S. Page, Hyde Park
VT, he will send you free, postpaid, sew
eral formulas for mixing fertilizers es
pecially ada fted TO top. dressing and fal
seeding, together with prices Of ingredi
ents, full directions for mixing, etc
These formulas have been approved by
the Vermont Experiment Station anc
will be found thoroughly reliable.

The Modern View of Highway
Work,

The more the road question is studied
in Vermont, says the Rutland News,
the more convinced are the people that
highways should be handled as state
rather than local institution. In the
good old days Vermonters "worked out
their road tax. They found that this
was a poor investment both for them
selves and the community. Roadmaking
is a business, or rather science, of itself
1t requires special fitness and training,
and nothing less than that will make
satisfactory permanent highway.
The highways belong, from the ma
ture of things, to all the people who
travel over them, whether they are resi-
dents of the town or city in which they
happen to lie or not. For this reason
the roadmaking of the future is going
to be handled as general state under
taking, according to uniform plan and
system.
1t is utterly fatile to attempt to make
good roads at a popular farmers Abee".
The most that such an informal and
unsystematic semi-social gathering can
accomplish worth while is to fix up
temporarily some defects or bad spots.
The permanent road, built right, must
be made by the man who understands
the science of roadmaking.
1t may sound somewhat revolutionary
to Vermonters at first, to tell them that
roadmaking is properly state business,
rather than town business. Vermonters
have been strong for good many gen.
erations in their notions of "town
rights, but these notions are not mod
ern and the sooner we get over them in
such matters as road building the more
progress we will make.
Along this line the st. Adams Mess
enger is everlastingly right when it says:
"Vermont may hesitate and beat
about the bush with one statute or
another, but the state will never be on
the right track of road building until
the voters recognize as cardinal prin-
ciple the supreme fact that the high
ways of the commonwealth do not be-
long to the towns in which they chance
to lie but to all the people of the state
that want to use them. They should be
constructed by the state agents under
state authority by state money and be-
long to and be controlled by the state"

Affiliations Success.

The happy solution of the dlfhcuIt'e'
between the Grand Trunk railroad and
the committees representing several
thousand of its conductors and tralnmen
is the latest evidence of the success OF
arbitration in labor disputes. BY the
result of these peaceful negotiations
great army of industrial workers VIII
resume work following two weeks OF
idleness pending the settlement OF
vpxed questions, vast financial Interests
receive necessary protection and laoo'
and capital alike are given cause to re
ioice. What the consequences might
have been if arbitration had not been
successful can only be left to conjecture
but there is no doubt that the injury
would have been national in extent from
business standpoint and the loss and
suffering to individuals incaculable'
From every point of view the successful
arbitration proceedings were creditaoie
to the enlightenment of the times.
We have now reached state OF pro-
gress in this country when arbitration
appeals to us as a duty rather than a
privilege, and it is destined soon to be-
come the universal rule in the industrial
world. No strike that does not wait
upon it will be justified in public opin'
ion, and no injustice not amenable to II
can be much longer practiced by an,
employer corporate or individual.

satisfaction of arbitration's success Il
