Did you ever stop to think what a
great labor saver the home paper is
as a means Of communication with al
sent friends? Write me often" is
the last command the one breaking
away from home ties so often gives
to those left behind. In the rush and
hurry Of every day few people nova
days have time to devote to cores
pondence Of the leisurely kind the
people OF other days kept up with
such unvarying punctuality. And here
Is where the home paper saves a
lot, Of trouble, II is better than a
letter, too, for II contains much that
a letter would not. Items Of inter
est are in 1t, that the writer Of let.
ter might not know or overlook. It
IS wonderful how eagerly one deyours
the home paper when a stranger In a
strange land, Even the people you
did not know intimately while at
home, become Of absorbing interest
to you when you read that they have
died or married or figured otherwise
prominently in home affairs. II Their
is some one Of your family away
from home. try sending them this
paper regularly and a letter occasion
ally and see II they do not appreci-
ate the favor Of the paper.

DEAD.

Breathes there a man with soul so
dead
Who never to himself hath said:
"My trade Of late is getting bad;
I'll try another eight-inch ad."
If such there be, go mark him well,
For him no bank account shall
swell; s
No angel watch the golden stair,
To welcome home the millionaire.
The man who never asks for trade
By local line or ad. displayed,
Cares mere for rest than worldly
gain, t1l-
And patronage but gives him pain
Tread lightly, friends; let no rude
sound
Disturb his solitude profound;
Here let him live in calm repose
Unsought except by men he owes,
And when he dies, 90 plant him deep
That naught may break his dream
less sleep
Where no rude clamOr may dispel
The quiet that he loved so well.
And when the world may know its
loss,
Place on his grave a wreath Of
moss,
And on a stone above, Here lies
A chump who would not advertise"

State Publicity.

Vermont's secretary of state has a
mailing list that includes the names OF
about $500 persons who have made in
quiries of his office concerning the at
fractions of Vermont for summer board
ers and tourists, and the list might in
clude $4,000 names if Vermont would
use the big newspapers to advertise

1t cannot be believed that in this OBJ
servation there is any censure intended
| for the head OF the states publicity bu-
! reau. Ii there be any censure, and it
would be difficult to maintain that there
| is none, it is intended for every voter
| in the state, for every man who has it,
even in the smallest measure, in his
power to help make known to the out
slider the many beautiful attractions the
Green Mountain state has for those who
desire to escape the life of the city dur
ing the heated months Of the year.
Every year Vermont newspapers
spread ink in lavish measure in extolling
the beauties OF the hills and dales. OF
the streams and lakes within the Dor.
ders Of this commonwealth. Added to
this are the remarks of men of note
who are forced to respond TO natures
influences. And the result is that there
is a general knowledge that Vermont
has her attractions, that she is a proper
playground, a place where the city
weary may revel in the joys of nature
but the reveling is not as extensive as
il should be.
Why is this so, why do not summer
folks come in the numbers that one
might expect they would if all that is
said about Vermont is true? just be-
cause humans are animal enough to fol-
low the leaders wearing the bell The
beaten path allures. And there are local
tiles in this very state to show how
true this is, localities that have become
firmly associated with summer things in
the minds of out -of-the state summer
people. How TO increase this kind OF
association Publicity. This word alone
holds the magical key that will unlock
the treasures of Vermont to the outside

eralities; specific information is demand

The start has been made. The state |

itation is the amount of funds allowed |
