The exhibition of the products OF
far off California that has been here
this week has an educational value
In addition to Its advertising features
which makes 1t we'll worthy of visit
of inspection 1t is said by some that
such an exhibition ought not to be
allowed in New England, because of
its design to attract our people to
California, but The Banner does not
feel that way concerning the matter.
Only few at the most will be led to
try their luck on the shores of the
Pacific and these would probably go
anyway, either there or TO some less
favored locality. and We would ra-
Their see these few go to the good
state OF California than to the bleak
prairies of the Canadian northwest.
For the rest of us 1t is good to see
what can be produced by q great
state which many of us will never be
able to visit except In imagination.
California is the second greatest state
of the union and In diversity of re-
sources probably excells all others.
We are glad to welcome showing OF
the handiwork and natural products
Of our distant neighbors and we shall
be not less patriotic citizens Of Yer
mont to have seen and studied first
hand an exhibit brought so far for
our inspection. We are not to be de-
ceived into thinking that wealth and
prosperity come without effort and
industry in California, any more than
chey do in Vermont Hard work and
close attention to detail almost any
where will bring creditable results
and the lesson for most of US to learn
from seeing this splendid showing
from sister state Is that as our good
friends out there are able to do 80
much with the opportunities given
chem, so can we by taking advantage
Of thought and labor make a fruitful
showing of the possibilities of good
old Vermont. A few may go and to
them we bid godspeed and wish them
happiness and prosperity. while those
who remain-tremendous the great
er number-may they learn the les
son of emulation, endeavor and pub
lie spirit. and especially public spirit,
for this California exhibit is financed
and supported by the citizens of five
counties of the state through then
boards OF trade. What FIVE counties
of Vermont stand ready to support
and maintain for upwards OF two
years, as this exhibit has been sup
ported and maintained, an enterprise
for the exploitation of the resources
and opportunities of our own state ?
God gave all men all earth to love.
But since our hearts are small
Ordained for each one spot should
prove
Beloved over ALL"

Plaster Casts.

Those who have plaster casts that
they wish to preserve may protect them
from dust by brushing them with a
preparation of white wax and white
soap, half a teaspoonful of each boil
ed with quart OF rain or other soft
water. Use when cold, and when they
are dried the casts may be wiped with
damp cloth without injury. To hard.
Ell casts brush with strong solution

BENNINGTON. VT. DEC. Of, 1912.

Young John Robinson, Shaftsbury's
road commissioner. has won the fine
good watch offered by Mr.. j. 3. VIII
bur to the commits sioner who made
the best showing tais year in Ben
nington county. And he won 1t In
spite of the fact that he had large
mileage and very little money less
than SIG per mile--with which to do
the work. Wonder If SALISBURY will
re-elect him next year or pass the job
around on the theory that somebody
else needs 1t or is good fellow.
That is what a good many towns do
and suffer the consequences without
realizing the reason why.

ORIGIN OF A FRENCH DISH.

The names bestowed upon certain
dishes have often an origin entirely dis
tInct from technical considera ton.
This is true Of the well known cpl
grammes d'agneau la Micheiet or u la
Toulouse, as it was more frequently
called Mlchelet was the cook of a
young French marquise of the century
who was noted for her lack of educa
tion
On a certain occasion she gave a din
ner 10 the officers of the regiment
Choiseul-C avalerie. During the func-
ton her guests spoke of banquet that
they had attended on the previous
evening, ut which the host had enter
tanned them with many new and bril-
liant epigrams. The marquise supposed
that "epigrams" referred TO culinary
surprises. Consequently she summoned
Michelet her cook, and ordered him to
prepare some epigrams for dinner on
the following day.
MIchelet was greatly troubled as to
how he was to obey the order. He recol-
lected. however, that he had in the
larder some very superior lamb. He
praised the breast. removed the bones,
cut the meat into pieces and bread
crumbed and fried them. He then
cooked the outlets. arranged them on a
dish alternately with the praised breast
and served them with a suitable gar
nish under the name OF programmes
dagneau la Michelet. by which name.
or a la Toulouse. the connection has
since been known.

Minister of Finance Neergaard has
placed an important bill before the
riksdag regarding the harbor of St.
Thomas, West Indies. The bill pro-
vides that syndicate consisting Of
some of the leading Danish ship own
ers be permitted to rent, for. a period
OF 80 years, a certain portion of the
harbor. The most important condi-
tons are, that the syndicate construct
dock accommodating ships of $4,000
tons, install electric light and power
systems, build refrigerators, water
works and street railways, and intro.
duce wireless telegraph system.
A Dane has invented an apparatus
for sweeping chimneys, which he
claims to make chimney sweeping as
clean as any other kind of work. The
new continuance, which is sold for
1880, is placed in the chimney at the
top. It consists of an alright iron
box, containing a frame to which
brushes are attached. A lead weight
Is suspended under the box. By
means of lever the apparatus is low
cred down the chimney to the bottom,
and as it passes down it carries all
the SCOT down with it. The inventor
claims that the person operating the
apparatus does not need to get dirty
at all. He also claims that it works
80 easily that anybody can use it
without previous practice. The chin:
ney sweeps are the only people that
object to the new invention.

The monument Is to represent the

ment is to be made out of a huge
granite block, weighing fifty-five tons,

Good Move for Road Improvement.

To the Board Of Supervisors of the
Townships:
Gentlemen: I am instructed by the
engineer of the State Highway Com
mission that I am to aid and assist
the several townships in the county
when called for that purpose, in
making surveys and furnish plans
when necessary, for the improvement
Of townroads or survey of bridge
sites for new bridges, the s.rvices Of
the surveyor being furnished by the
state, the help to be paid by the
town. This does not apply TO new
roads recently laid out. l would al
so like to call the attention of the
Boards to Chapter 800 General Laws
Of 1909 that allows the Town Boards
thru the town overseers, to contract
with land owners to maintain and
keep i'll general repair certain Sec
tons Of road in their vicinity. @
This / believe to be very meritor-
lous measure and should be put into
effect. E..
This measure would allow farmers
who have taxes to pay, to run the
road drags after rains to keep holes
in the roads filed and have general
oversight of a small section of road
and still feel that they, while doing
a public benefit, would receive some
compensation for the same.

AVOID HARSH DRUGS.

Many catharties Tend to Cause Injury

II you are subject to constipation,
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give temporary

sometimes more annoying than consd-

already weak organs with which they
come In contact.
We honestly believe that we have
the best constipation treatment ever
devised. Our faith in it is 50 strong
that we sell it on the positive guaran-
tee that it shall not cost the user
