FRIDAY. JANUARY II. 1913

The man of ability who is willing
to work persistently, without much
recreation except what he finds in
the labor itself, is bound to make
money. He may have reverses, or
what is termed, "a streak of hard
luck" But if he keeps at it he is
bound to go ahead. The captains
of industry who have cornered large
fortunes are frequently criticised,
but the charge of laziness is never
laid at their door. Most of them
worked necessarily in their younger
DAYS. That they were able to get
along without much recreation, was
of course. a matter of constitution
and temperament, says the Washing
ton Post. To many men too much
work and too little play makes for
dullness or nervous prostratlon.
The man who loves his work and
knows it thoroughly is bound tO.push
ahead. He doesn't have to cringe
or fawn. Life is largely a process
of elimination. A man cannot have
everything he wants. If he is more
attached to a life of amusement,
theaters, dances, and parties than he
is to work, he need not complain if
he is greater success in the socia
life than he is in the business life
Only by satisfying to the full the
demands of work, giving even
little more effort than is demanded
and then,using whatever time ma.
be left over for recreation can a MAI
hope to become a $10,0 man excep
unusual cases.

BradStreet's Report

Reports to Bradstreet's for the
week state labor is generally well
employed and the retail trade has
been little more brisk particularly
in the sales of heavier clothing as the
cold weather has tended to stimulate
demand for seasonable wearing ap-
parrel. Dealers in furs comment on
the slow business of December but
state past weeks business has moved
that class of goods. Further reports
from the wooden mills in the state
say the business done in 1912 was
the best they have had for ten years
and prospects for the future are
dependable upon what is done with
the tariff. Machine interests are
fairly well employed and the wood
working shops state the demand has
been better than was expected. In
the granite trade the prospects for
the near future are good, the mild
weather has enabled manufactures
to operate sheds at good advantage
and has been particularly beneficial
to work on the quarries which have
considerable business ahead. Paper
mills are working full time and
reports from organ manufactures
are encouraging. The parcels post
system appears to have worked out
so far exceptionally well and has
been patronized as far as the state is
concerned in excess of what was
anticipated. The merchants have
made use of it in a large measure,
their patronage having been large.
The incoming and outgoing receipts
compare well. Among the manu-
,facturing interests at Burlington
| labor is well employed, and at
| Winooski additional help is being
ladded. Clearance sales have had
the principal tradelamong the retail
| stores and sales are reported large.
| Rutland reports manufacturing
lplants are fully employed and there
appears to be considerable business
ahead. The weeks sales at the
retail stores shows some i'm
provement. st. Adams reports the
sleighing of the past week improved
retail trade. Labor is well employed
} and the result of holiday trade was
better than it was expected it would
be. = Reports from St. Johnsbury
speak we'll of existing conditions both
among the manufactures and with
i the retail merchants. Montpelier
reports good sleighing and that
retail trade has been helped by it.
At the manufacturing plants labor is
well employed in nearly all lines. At
Barre the granite plants are well
employed Tor the season OF the year,
while retail merchants report fairly
good business. Collections are re-
ported from fair to good. Bellows
| Falls reports no material change in
the general condition of manufactur-
ing interests while trade at the stores
appears fairly good. At Brattleboro
labor is we'll employed, all who are
willing to work are given en-
ployment. Merchants report trade
never better for the period of the
year. Bennington mills are we'll en-
ployed and the clearance sales that
have been held have been well
patronized.

What Was Happening 30
Years Ago

President Arthur has signed the
bill permitting grain brought by
Canadian farmers to be ground in
mills in the United States.
According to the grand list of Ver-
mont for the year 1882, the property
of the state, if equally divided, would
give each person within it's border,
$500.
The balance of the stock now re-
naming in the store of C. M. Dyer
will be sold at public auction on
Saturday. Jan. 20, the sale commenc-
ing at 7 o'clock.
Gov. Dale, accompanied by his son
Porter, started on his Western trip
last Tuesday morning.
A subscriber in Meriden, Conn,
renewing his subscription to the
HERALD, writes to know if his rela-
tives are still in Island Pond, and in
good health, he not having heard
from them for several months.
They are are well Doctor, and still
living here.
The assistant manager, general
passenger agent and general freight
agent of the G. T. R. are engaged in
calling at the principal stations on
the line, making train connections
and considering the best available
means of expediting the movement
of the present traffic on the road.
They were at Island Pond last
Wednesday.
The High School was summarily
closed last Monday by the town
superintendent owing, it is said, to
the fact that the teacher has not en-
forced a proper and needed discipline
among the pupils. Miss Sarah nj.
Hobson, who taught the last term at
this school, has been engaged for
the remainder of the present term,
and commenced her duties last
| Wednesday morning.
Next Wednesday comes the grand
opening ball at the Stewart House,
with Bigelow's full orchestra for
music. Everything possible is being
done to make it pleasant occasion
| for all who may attend; and it now
looks as if there would be large
attendance, not only from this place,
but from surrounding towns. Re-
turn tickets at single fare will be
issued on the G. T. R. between Sher-
brooke and Gorham, and on the B.
C. & M. between Woodsville and
