A Boost for Telephone girls.

If a man is really looking for a
wife instead of a social butterfly,
an heiress or a chorus girl, we
heartily recommend for his consid-
Grafton a telephone girl. For even
temper, patience, prOmptness and
meeknesS, telephone girls have the
world beaten. They are girls with
practical ideas and common sense;
they are girls who will help you
save your money and make you an
all-round housewife We have never
seen one that wasn't neat and clean.
and they would very probably be
the most orderly housekeeperS you
could get. And one of their great
est virtues is their ability to con-
troll their tongues. They are accus-
toned to being quarreled at and
bemeaned, yet they are not moved
to an outburst thereby. We know
they are sometimes imposed upon
and are seldom rated at their true
worth. If you are in need of a
good wife, get telephone girl.

It cost Waterbury s3,091.5O for
hedgehog bounties the past year. This
represents over 10000 hedgehogs and
the bounty act must have made quite
as much OF an inroad into the ranks
of those animals as 1t did into the
town ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Argus.
The population Of the town of Wat
erbury is 1878, so that until the boun-
ty law went into effect there were
more than three hedgehogs to every
man, woman and child in town. With
hedgehogs crowding the human popu-
alton like this, is it any wonder that
the representatives from the rural
towns insisted on a bounty law? For
the first time we can see the wisdom
of the law. We can also appreciate
the foresight Of George NJ. Wall, who
represented Dorset in the legislature
of 1910. When the hedgehog bill
came up in the legislature with such
unanimous backing, by the farmers
club that it was sure to pass, Mr.. Vi
all labored most strenuously to get
one clause of the bill changed This
clause In the bill as it came from
the committee was rather vaguely
worded and seemed to require that
all hedgehog heads brought in should
be buried by the town clerk. Mr.. vi.
all explained that he was the town
clerk of Dorset, and while he didn't
want to shirk any or the duties of his
office, he really didn't care to become
the sexton OF hedgehog cemetery.
The town clerk OF Waterbury should
extend vote of thanks to Mr.. Wall
for saving him from the fate that
might have been his had he been left
the sole control and residuary legatee
OF ten thousand hedgehogs in one
year. BY the way. the bounty money
does not come out OF the town. but
out Of the state treasury in the end
We all help pay 1t and we might as
well have all the fun there is in il.
The farmers in the Legislature insist
ed on having the bounty law and the
farmers are always in the majority in
the Vermont legislature.

BENNINGTON, VT, MAR. 2, 1912

The article in The Banner yester-
day showing the splendid progress
that has been made in paying up the
town debt, shows what can be done
with good town management. If the
town finances are as well managed
in the future as during the past few
years, it will be only few years be-
fore the town will be out of debt
Every years progress in paying up
the bonds lowers the interest charge
and leaves more money toward the
principal. There was a time in the
history of Bennington when the town,
through bad management, kept get
ting deeper and deeper into debt.
Thousands of dollars were spent with
no adequate return and other thous-
ands were thrown away in foolish lit
igation. The business management of
the town is important to every voter
and taxpayer. Real estate is worth
more as the debt becomes reduced,
and then too, the cleaning up of the
debt will make more money available
for roads and other things for the use
of the present generation, instead Of
going to pay for the dead horses Of
the past. Town meeting comes next
Tuesday and it is better to be pres
ent and help along the business in
terests of the town than to grumble
about 1t afterwards
