If the purchase of the Langdon
meadows in Montpelier by the Cen
trail Vermont Railway company
means that the main line of its
tracks is to be changed to nearer
point to that city the general pub
lie, as well as the capital city, will
be exceedingly glad. The News has
believed for a good man wears in
the idea, and occasionally advocated
the practicability of changing the
main line of the railroad from
somewhere near West Berlin and
running it directly into Montpelier.
1t is still of the opinion that such
plan could be carried out to the
financial advantage of both the rail
road company and that city. AS
The News does not yet own a con-
trolling interest in the Grand
Trunk it cannot at this time do
more than advocate the feasibility
of such a plan or any plan that will
do away with the present inconven-
ences.-Northfeld News.
There is yet another project that
If put through, would add not little
to the convenience of a large number
of people, the extending Of the VIII
Jamestown branch to connect with the
main line of the Central at some
point in Windsor county. Such con-
struction would put the state capital
on a through road which would also
touch the outskirts of the rapidly
growing city of Barre That this ex-
tention was not made years ago for
the through line has been considered
by many to have been one Of the mis-
takes of judgment on the part OF
railroad management. Another de-
cision that has worked TO the in
convenience of the people of the
state was that which created Essex
junction. Had the old Central Yer
mont been built through Burlington
that city today would have far better
railroad facilities than 1t can ever
hope to secure. Whether the pres
ent existing conditions in ChIttenden
and Washington counties were the re-
suits of personal spite as was fire.
quently rumored a generation ago or
failures on the part Of the road build
ers to- forsee the future matters lit
tie now. The results are that the
two most populous centers in Yer
mont, including the state capital, are
both off the line of through traffic
over the Central Vermont.

Some of the Plans for the Important
Scenes of the Great
Pageant

The proceeds from the historical
pageant to be given in Bennington
August II, IA, Is and Is are to go to
start fund to provide the town with
a public park This question which
has been up for some time was de
cided today by the executive commit
tee.
Ever since the pageant was decided
on there has been discussion as to
what should be done with the net pro-
ceeds which will vary according to
the success of the pageant The
members of the executive committee
have seen and asked large number
of people as to the matter and a large
majority have favored starting a park
fund
A few of those seen favored a
hospital fund, few more wanted to
use the money for the public play
ground and larger number voted in
favor of the library but many more
than for all the other objects thuoght
that public park fund would be
best In fact the sentiment that way
appears to be Overwhelming.

A WARNING FOR BOYS
From C. Il. claudy's "The Battle OF
Baseball" in August ST. Nicholas

The acquired curves-those which
do not come naturally-may well be
let alone by boys, for this reason: A
boys arm is growing arm Both
bones and muscles are not what they
will be in man hood Pitching a ball
v hich strains the arm when ii is
young and growing may fatally in
iure 1t for fine pitching when it has
its growth While not one lad in
hundred who read this expects to be
a professional baseball player, there
may be also not one in hundred who
does not expect to play baseball at
intervals for some time TO come.
Moreover, straining an arm may keep
you from pitching now as well as
later; hence, don't try to initiate
every wide cure or jerky drop BALI
You see, if after a trial you find it
leaves your arm aching and sore. And
above all things, don't worship at the
shrine of that finger magic which
makes a ball do strange tricks in the
air, at the expense of control. Any
big league pitcher will tell you that
no matter what curves, jumping balls
and deceptive deliveries you may
/ have, your prowess goes for naught
il you lack that one thing-control
II you can put it where you want
it, and have not even a suspicion
of curve, you can pitch better
same and hold down the opposing
batsmen more effectively than can
the finest curve and jump ball pitcher
ever born who can not make his
curves break over the plate, and
whose jump ball always misses the
| corners
