That Brandon man who was con-
victed in Rutland county court this
week of extortion, in attempting TO
secure money from a woman by
threatening to circulate stories de-
famatory to her character, is not in
particularly enviable position.
There are number of mean methods
adopted by the large number of per-
sons in this world who choose TO
live by their wits" but the course
taken by the Brandon man would be
condemned in congress of crooks

Bad Roads Very Expensive.

"a correspondent from Pawlet
writes that the roads in that vicinity
all corts of persons, possibly by those
four horses to draw small load. Is
not this an irrefutable argument in
favor of the economy of good and
we'll drained ?"-Montpelier Ar
gus.
Unless some people have to go di-
rectly into their pocketbooks and
pull out the cash they don't realize
that they are paying for anything.
This is about the proposition that
confronts one when looking into the
road question. Many a farmer does
not realize that when he is forced to
hitch four horses to wagon to get
it along muddy roads. he is paying
good money because the roads are
poor. He is paying for poor service
and far too often he makes no COM
plant at all.
The roads are of vital service to
the farmer who must deliver his
goods at some distance from his
farm. Good roads make the delivery
easy and of less expense, while bad
roads mean that he either can make
no delivery at all or must do so at
increased inconvenience and expense
to himself. Good roads are a COM
mon asset; bad ones are common
expense. From all over the state
comes information that the roads are
in frightful condition Is this
necessary? OF course it is a bad
time of the year, but should the roads
be so universally poor? If not
something ought to be done. And
there doesn't seem to be any reason
why they ought to be so bad in view
of the large expenditures the state is
making-St Adams Messenger.

The large number of people who
have called at the law office of Post
master Graves to see the plans for
the new postoffice building evidences
the big interest in the structure that
prevails in this community. Now, II
the powers at Washington will push
things along so that the building can
be completed inside of year the i'm
mediate locality and the village in
general will receive a boom in the
way of improvement. Experience
has shown that good looking build
ings on a thoroughfare tend to the
betterment in appearance of all other
property on the same street.

example:

A NEW WAY OF SPELLING 1T

ALTHOUGH William R"cHhII Nelson
"A editor Of The Kansas City Star, IS
thereby the principal Of one OF the best
papers in the United States from viewpoint
Of pure English and all that goes with It,
there are times when even he encounters
difficulties. It happened in this case tnat
spelling was the obstacle. .,
Mr.. Nelson lives in a castle at RothhiII'
Kansas Citv's most exclusive residence
section. He has a married daughter. Cn
her return from a recent European trlp. Mr..
Nelson decided 10 give a dinner, one oi the
decorations of which was To consist oi I'M
ported Japanese parasols, billed to nm at
the office OF The Star.
But the day for the dinner came round
and the parasols had not arrived Afternoon
came. and Mr. Nelson left for home leaving
orders that should the shipment come II Dc
rushed to the house in one OF the newspaper
motor trucks But the shipment did not
come. and no word OF the fact was sent from
the office. Shortly before the dinner Mt
Nelson became nervous and went To the tclc-
phone He got one OF the assistant cdltorS
on the wire and began asking about the Dc-
lated decorations. g.
But either Mr.. Nelson did not speak dis
tinctlv or the assistant editor could not near
well, for no progress was made. Ntcr about
the fifth attempt to iathom what the owner
desired to learn about, the assistant editor
said:
"I'm mighty sorry, Mr.. Nelson, but !
can, catch what YOU want. What's the
word,"
Mr.. Nelson tried again. No success.
I'm afraid you'll have to spell IT, the
assis,an, said.
Spell ~" the owner asked. Certainly.
P-a-r-gct that? P-a-r-o-" "a pause; then
the owner began again. Something was
wrong with that spelling. He tried aEaan.
"P-a-r-o-" again a stop. Once more, ia
