If I Were A Boy

If were boy again would not choose to be reared upder different parents or under different influences. but
 If I were boy again would do lot of things I did not do and leave undone some of the things did do
 If I were a boy again would go swinl- ming and hunting just as did and often- CT if could. would play as hard and as often as could in the open air and build me strong and supple body.
 If--
 If I were a boy again I would reao more books and better books than I did read, and I would thus find out how the best and most successful men got on in the world.
 if
 If were boy again I would be as much as possible with persons older than myself. would try to get from personal contact all the graces and the manners of such persons and learn from their own lips the story of their lives.
 If--
 If were boy again would not resent my mothers little scoldings, knowing take the good advice of my father. Nor would think myself wiser than both my parents-and the preacher thrown in.
 If-
 If were boy again I would go to Sunday school. whether was told to go or not. But I would realize the importance in my education of real knowledge of the Bible
 If-
 If I were a. boy again I would dream the dreams of boyhood-and then some. And no doubt when I was particularly disappointed with the world I should dream the dream of being a lawless pirate of the high seas, with price upon my head and the skull and crossbones at the peak. But
 If were a boy again I would mostly dream of the day when should grow up to be good and useful man.
 If were boy again.
 But. deary me! It has been so long ago. And should I have the chance to do and dream might be no better boy than was-or worse.

The Chief Cause of Poverty

F rOnl tne CnlcdgO RecOTd-derdlu.
 Intemperance as a cause of poverty seems to be losing It's importance. Only 2 per cent of the 1900 families which have been lately in the care of New Works association for improving the condition of the poor relate their distress to that source. Desertion, imprisonment and in- efficiency, while more important factors, are still not of first consequence. The two great causes of poverty, according to the association, which is the first body to look into the question in a broad and careful way, as effecting metropolitan populations. are sickness and unemploy- ment. Together they account for two thirds of the trouble--with the former in the lead. This state of things brings forward most pointedly the necessity for instruction in better ways of living and for some form of insurance to soften the effects of Illness on domestic life. The other phase of the question invites em- phasis on the need of avoiding congestion of population by devising machinery for the. advantageous disposal of new coming aliens through the country at large.

Savings Accounts--Antidot for Fear

Savings Acc0unts--AntidOte for Fear man with savings account active than one with out. The without savings account frequently fears to act A man with savings account will take chances to his profit that he would not otherwise. With the bread and butter problem put several months away, will leave paying position to accept better whereas if he immediately faced the main issue he would fear that he would not make good and remain stationary
 It is all in the elimination of fear
 Fear is the cinkers of life
 You often hear say that he would do this that if it not for his family responsibility The action he pro- would be to his profit and all that but he fears to take that action.
 A savings account is the insurance to action.

In Those Days


 In those days in our town, in front of nearly every house leading from the front gate to the front porch. was the sidewalk of bright red bricks.
 Also of the same sort one switched off and went around to the side porch. Also, and thereby hangs this tale, there were
 Cracks between the bricks.
 In these crevices luxuriantly grCw graso and weeds, which grass and weeds were not highly esteemed by one's mother nor deemed to be particularly ornamental.
 Therefore-woe. Presently with an old case knife. you received general orders No. to move on the works and extinguish and destroy the green stuff.
 Now
 You yourself had held a growing admi- ration for the contrast afforded by the green of the vegetation with the red of the bricks. Privately you regretted that your mothers education in art had been so much neglected.

The Fall of a Man

One hundred trolley cars.
 Fifty taxicabs and automobiles.
 Four sightseeing motor barges with 100 passengers aboard.
 A countless horde of possersby who get no chance to pass
 All these were held up in Herald square New York, one day recently when the square was filled to overflowfng with men, women and children.
 The cause?
 One middle aged, 200 pound, pompous mau, outfitted with a sturdy cane, did it all.
 In the height of the rush hour the self important man started to hurry as rapidly as he was able across the rails under the elevated station.
 Stooping down to reach something, he fell flat.
 Swiftly the motorman of an oncoming car put on his brakes to avoid running over the man. The sudden stopping of this car stopped all the cross town cars. Like the accumulated waters above q dam. the people swarmed around the bar- ricade.
 One man stumbled.
 Thousands were affected.
 Is it not so in other ways of life?
 A man stumbles financially. Because he slips and falls others are disastrously af- fected. Or
 A man makes a false step and falls nor ally Others go headlong because of his lapse.
 The banker fails. and the barricade of the losers fills the street. The man in the public eye stoops morally, ana multitudes go halting because of it.
 Even a small man may halt his com rades by the loss of his footing. Theye eager to go on. must wait or fall over him.
 If--
 If each man lived to himself alone one might drop and lie there and rot and no hurt would come to his fellows.
 But we are tied to one another, as the guides and the tourists who go up the Matterhorn are tied to one another. When one goes down the others must halt and pull him up. else they must go down with him.
 Be careful of your footing.

Couldn't Fool Him

 Practical-that was just what he was. No dream-shimmer for his: only realities Ho 1t was with. trepidation that they lent him "Allce in Wonderland"
 A few days later he returned 1t and they timorously asked: Well, what did you think of it?" To the intense surprise of all present the practical, hard-as-nails one had detected something-he didn't know exactly what-about that book that pleased him.
 He sndeavored to explain 1t. In the midst of the explanation he noticed the surprise on their faces. and feared dimly that he had made a faux pas" that he had been untrue to himself

Conservation of Beauty.

The vote of the New Hampshire
and around Crawford Notch and
preserve it as park of natural
scenery must commend itself~to all
people who appreciate the value of
such natural attractions It is
simply one of the steps that must
be taken in New England and Ver-
mont especially, in the near future
if this section is to retain it's power
to attract people from all sections of
the world.
The value of land that will pro-
duce anything that can be used for
timber has become so great and
timber so scarce that we cannot
longer depend upon private owner
ship to maintain and preserve our
natural scenery. Private owners
cannot afford to do it. Already the
slopes of every mountain peak of
prominence in the state have been
permanently marred by the lumber
man. Every water shed in Vermont
has had its value as source of
water supply seriously reduced by
the cutting of it's merchantable
timber. Beauty, usefulness and
value have been sacrificed to the i'm
mediate profits of private ownership
in large proportion of our terri
tory and it is rapidly encroaching on
territory that previously has been
improbable for private exploitation.
We cannot depend upon private
generosity longer but must develop
some public scheme
Vermont is fortunate in having
one great beauty spot presented to
it for preservation in the gift of Col.
Battell of a thousand acre tract on
the slopes of Camels Hump. But the
people cannot rely on gifts alone. If
the state attempts this it will lose
many beauty spots that it can i'll
afford to have destroyed.
The Importance of preserving our
natural beauty spots is evident when
one remembers they draw sight-seers
generation to generation. So long as
the beauties of Smugglers Notch, Mt.
Mansfield, Camel's Hump and Killing
ton, the valleys and the hills can be
preserved will people come to see
them. When they are destroyed by
the lumbermen they are, deserted by
them for other profitable fields and
their power to attract visitors is
gone. Their permanent value is
sacrificed for temporary gain and the
people of the present have robbed the
generations coming after them. 1t is
time for the people of Vermont to be-
gin the formulation and discussion of
plan that will enable them to con-
serve these valuable permanent at
fractions.

Lower Prices.

Cheering reports for the consumer
are coming these days from the mar
ket places. No. red wheat is now
selling at 81 cents a bushel, a. de-
crease of Al cents since the beginning
of last year Since August, 1910,
corn has dropped 2 5 cents, oats IT
cents, -four by the barrel IS cents,
beef by the hundred weight $1.85,
pork by the hundred weight S475,
mess pork by the barrel Sd, butter
cents pound, lard 4 cents pound.
Besides 20 and 80 per cent recessions
in foodstuffs, cotton is down 10 per
cent from recent high price, staple
cotton goods 15 per cent and wool
about % per cent. The general level
of commodity prices, according to
Bradstreet's index number, is the
lowest since September, 1909, and the
trend continues downward. II Brat
tleboro Phoenix
That sounds good but we fail to
notice any reduction in price when
we buy pound of steak, a barrel of
-four or pail of lard. It would
seem about time for retailers to let
the consumer in on these twenty to
thirty per cent recessions in the
prices of necessities

A. F. STONE IN BOSTON.
Gave Address Before Postmasters' AS.
ISOLATION of New England.

Commenting on the recent semi
annual convention of the Post
masters Association of New Eng
land, in Boston, the Boston Trans
cript said:
The real interest Of the meeting,
however, was centred in a paper by
Postmaster Arthur F. Stone of St.
Johnsbury, on ''The Present Registry
System" He discussed with much en-
thusiasm the work of the registry
service such as came within his own
Jurisdiction, dwelling at length upon
the return registry receipt card re-
Gently abolished by the Government.
cit has caused some dissatisfaction"
but I think in time that we will rea-
lie that it has eliminated a vast
amount of red tape. What I do advo-
cate, however, is the use Of linen
lined envelopes to transmit money
and va1uables through the mails.
Thousands of dollars in coins are lost
in ordinary mail service through plac
ing them in fiimsy envelopes, and
even in cases where they are
registered. 1t is hard to keep
the coins from dropping out
and in that case there is no way
of telling whence they came. He
then distributed among his hearers
envelopes to illustrate the adj
vance that foreign countries had made
in this line and as a conclusion to his
paper, advocated the adoption of pos
tai insurance, showing, as a concrete
illustration Of the method, an Eng
lish envelope which contained will
of a Russian Woman to be probated
in Vermont and which had been in
sured to the amount of several
hundred pounds.
Following the address a resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted ask
ing the Department to furnish all
offices with cloth-lined envelopes
for use in the registry service with
the registration stamp printed there

Good Lawmaking Body.

The legislature of New Hampshire
which adjourned last Saturday GER
tainly accomplished much good work.
1t did not do everything promised as
the senate refused to pass the income
tax bill or the direct election of dele
gates to the national convention as
promised in the party's platform. 1t
did however meet the railroad in a
spirit of fairness and passed laws
granting the railroad relief from I'M
profitable rates and creating a pub
lie service commission. This has been
accomplished without the familiar
cry of railroad Nominations which
has been so long raised to the dis
grace of the state.
Other important bills passed were:
A bill to prohibit campaign contr1-
buttons by corporations; to provide
for purity of elections and prevent
bribery; providing for publicity of
campaign receipts and expenditures !;
creating a permanent tax commission
to equalize taxation: providing for
workingmens compensation; defining
the duties of the encouragement and
providing that he devote more time to
the business of the state; assembling
a constitutional convention; increas-
ing automobile license fees, appro-
priating the fees to the maintenance
of highways, and laws protecting
child laborers, regulating baby farms,
providing for the purchase of Craw-
ford Notch, extending the protection
from forest fires, providing for the
enforcement of decisions regarding
express rates, providing homes for
dependent minors, providing for
the exemption of certain mortgages
from taxation, and reconstructing the
bureau of labor and extending its
duties.
These are all progressive measures
passed in response to the demand of
the people and form a very credit
able body of work for the New Hamp-
shire legislature.
