These are the days in which the Yer

ought to be giving serious thought to
the work that is ahead of them. Do all
such officials raelize how important they
are to their community and to the state?
One OF the most important questions in
Vermont to-day is that of highway con.
struction and development, and it de.
mands attention and study. There is no
good reason why a feeling of contentment
should not be general in the work that
has been or is being done. There is
plenty OF chance for Improvement, and
the overseers from the top to the bottom

a Snider and a Fish.

"The amazing strength of spiders IS

Gated instances a biologist says.
''Thus we have an instance or q half
inch spider catching two inch fish.
1t was of the ground or wolf family.
A scientist came upon 1t struggling
with a fish on the edge of a little pool
Its claws were buried in the f1shs tail.
1t had the tail out of the water, but
the head still remained underneath.
Like tiend the spider struggled to
pull the Ash up on the bank, and the
fish struggled desperately to draw the
spider into the pool. For ten minutes
the scientist watched this silent and
deadly fight. Then he hurried away
for a bottle in which to put the COM
batants when he captured them. He
was gone about half an hour, and on
his return the end had come. The fish
was dead, and the spider was slowly
dragging its victim way."-London
