Los Angeles is celebrating the com
pletion of an aqueduct which is to give
it a practically inexhaustible supply of
pure water for probably as many years
as the city shall endure, and the peo-
pie Of the country are ready to extend
to it measure of congratulation and
sympathy that San Francisco hardly
need expect should it succeed in filching
IIetch Hetchy from the nation. The
enterprise has been a colossal one. The
aqueduct has been brought over des-
erts and through mountains a distance
of 260 miles and it has cost the city
many millions. But it brings the pure
snow waters of the Sierras, as fine a
supply as any city in the country can
boast San Francisco could get the
same kind of water in unlimited guam
titles by going lesser distance, but
she has worked craft rather than en-
terprise in order to make the nation
bear her burdens by surrendering for
her exploitation one of its choicest
treasures.

NEW HAPPINESS CULT.

Cleveland has new happiness cult
and incorporation papers have been
filed there for the Appreciation League
of the United States, the members of
which are to practice Philosophy and
in that way ensure their own happiness
and that of those with whom they
come in contact. The founder of the
cult is wealthy philanthropist who
believes that the true road to happiness
is appreciation and his idea of helping
others to take that way is to demon
strate that courtesy pays in a financial
as well as a sentimental way.
Members of the society will make
it their business to show appreciation
of every courtesy that is extended to
them, which is certainly a wide de
parture from the generally accepted
way of doing things. Instead of try
ing to make life miserable for others.
| by reporting their delinquencies to
| their employers, the happiness seekers
are going to report courtesies and pc.
| likeness.
| Blank forms will be furnished for
reports and when any person has been
mentioned three times for courtesy his
employer will receive a letter from the
league secretary. In that way the
value of the services of the courteous
employe will be brought to the atten
tion of the one who employs him. anG
he will stand "a much better chance OF
promotion than if his commcndablC
conduct were accepted as a matter oil
course, and nothing said about it.
If If were possible to get larg,
part of the people of any community
TO accept the theory of Philosophy il
their everyday relations there is n,
doubt that the sum Of human happines
would be materially increased.
While the Cleveland society is desig
mated as new cult it should be re
membered that after all its propose,
plan is simply putting into practice
operation the golden rule: . As y
would that others should DO unto YOU
do We even so unto them.

Central Vermont s Poor Fiscal Year.

Barre Times
1t is a rather unsatisfactory report
which the directors of the Central
Vermont railroad made to the stock
holders at the annual meeting of the
corporation held in ST. Adams Wednes-
dav. but the report was typical of
conditions throughout the entire coun-
try, with few exceptions The cost of
operation of the various lines has
jumped greatly, while the receipts for
the fiscal wear have not increased in
proportion to correspond. Indeed, some
Of the largest and most powerful rail
road systems of the country, which
have been dividend payers for decades
and whose margin of balance was con
sidered safe enough to ensure a con
tinuance of those large dividends, have
lately been forced to make 4 reduction
in their dividend rates and others are
said to be likely to follow suit. Such
a gloomy prospect has rendered rail
road stocks somewhat shaky in the
financial msrkets and some kinds have
/ been materially reduced IN selling
value, with the end apparently not in
sight. Therefore, the Central Yer
mont s showing for the last fiscal year
is not peculiar to itself and need not
cause undue alarm, for where a move
ment is so general there is rather sure
to be a rebound in favor of the rail
I roads-there must be if the industrial
and agricultural conditions of the
country continue good. And, in con
nection with the financial statement OF
the Central Vermont. it is worthy o.
note that the granite industry of the
state not only continues to maintain
position as a large feeder of the sys
tenn but that it shows an appreciate
gain over the previous fiscal year il
its percentage of contribution to tn,
transportation company 5 business. All
of Vermont 5 mining and quarryin,
activities are likely to gain rather thar
lose, so that the Central Vermont. a
one of the chief distributors of thei
products, is certain to be Il materia
gamer in the succeeding years. s
there is hope in that OUTLOOK, at least
That the policy of the road viii no

Gold Medal to be Awarded.

A gold medal to the school bow or
girl between the ages of 10 and Is
who writes the best composition, not
to exceed 800 words, on the repair
and maintenance of earth roads, is to
1e awarded by Logan Waller Page,
Director, Office of Public Roads, I'm
ted States Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c.
All compositions must be submitted
to Mr.. Page before May IS, 1918.
and the medal will be awarded as
soon thereafter as the compositions
'an be graded. The composition NAV
De based on knowledge gained from
books or other sources, but no quota
tons should be made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situation
Of the country, it is Mr.. Pages belief
that ignorance on the subject of re-
| pair and maintenance of roads is as
much the cause of their bad condition
as any other one factor. 1t is ex-
| pected that the competition will bring.
about better understanding of the
| subject Of repair and maintenance in
the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the disad-
vantages of roads made impossible
through a lack of proper mainten-
ance and it is expected that their in
terest in the competition will stin,-
ulate greater interest among the
parents. Bad roads have prevented
many children from obtaining a pro.

The following was given to a News
representative by Superintendent
Thorpe of the local telephone sys-
tenn with request to publish:
Never speak pleasantly into the
transmitter; always try to make the
girl believe you are mad at her.
When you give your number blur
your words so the operator can't pos
5ibly understand them. If she does,
call her back and tell her she has mis-
understood you, whether she has or
not. That's what she's there for.
If you have to wait half a minute,
call the chief operator over an oppo-
sition phone, and complain about the
service. If you don't now, pretty
soon you won't get a chance, and it's
excellent practice.
Never hang up your receiver; let it
hang down so the light will be shin
ing on the girls switchboard all the
time. She likes it, and, besides,
what's the use of your eXerting your
self so much.
Last of all, don't hesitate to ask
information to hunt the number you
wish, even if you only know one nu-
neral of it. She's a mind reader,
and besides, that's what she's there
for.

little William TiIghman Dead.

Died at his home in our city last
Sunday night little before seven
o'clock, William Tilghman, the young
est son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Thigh
man, aged ten years.
The sad news of little Williams
sudden death cast a shadow over the
whole community, for his short but
happy life was spent among us, and
every heart was touched with sympa-
thy for the stricken ones, from whose
fre5de the light had fed. For ter
bright, sunny years not only had he
been the joy and comfort Of the home
now left desOlate, but his sweet
childish presence brought wealth of
sunshine and happiness into the lives
of the entire community. There was
not a child in PaIatka better known
and more thought Of than little Viii
liam, and by none will he be missed
more, except by his family, than by
those in The News office, for he made
his weekly visit to us to get the funny
papers.
We feel the emptiness Of human
words in times of bitter sorrow. YET
He who "has borne our griefs and
carried our sorrows" will comfort and
sustain.
All the care and love that skilled
physicians, nurses and by an anxious
household could devise and apply foi
his comfort and assistance were
brought into play, but the fiat of Him
who rules our incomings and outgo-
ings had been issued and after Q
brief struggle of less than forty eight
hours, despite the prayers and en-
| treaties of all who knew and loved
him, their appeals were overTuled and

beautiful Sunday, the sufferers spirit
took its fight without a struggle tC

in the Sunday school, and the super

A brief service was conducted al

and the little form was laid to rest
