yertisement for the same amount of mon
ey can be secured for Barre granite than
by purchasing these cards and sending

pressed upon the general public by these

your friends it would be well to add
something that the picture does not indi-
cate, which is that Barre granite is one
of the most durable materials that can
be obtained.

ing as a reporter on the Burlington Free
Press has been rather remarkable, and
each new honor which has come TO him
has been pleasing to his friends in Yer

Taft to be assistant secretary OF the

who quit the office under dissatisfying
conditions, is high honor but one which
is undoubtedly deserved. Mr.. Allen has
done well in the various positions to
which he has been called, and a similar

the new work. In selecting Mr.. Allen for
the post of assistant secretary of the
treasury, President Taft is to congrat.
ulated on getting level-headed Vermont.
