BOYS, READ THlSl

We wonder whether the boys who
smoke cigarettes, loaf on the street
corners, indulge in discourteous re-
marks and given general impression
Of toughness realize that their actions
are noted by men in business. When
these boys leave school and seek work
they are likely to find that their habits
have blocked the avenues leading TO
good positions. The conceit Of youth
is a great factor in holding others to
mediocre positions or worse through
out life. 1t is difficult for any youth
in his teens to take long look ahead,
and to think of the kind Of man he
would like to be at %, IS, As, or even
older. Many boys who have won high
standing in school studies have proved
failures as men for the reason that
they wish to go ahead at jump, and
are not willing to work hard and pre-
pare themselves for the promotion
gradually. 1t is a sad thing to see
person endowed with capacity by ma
ture soured and embittered in mature
life because he took the job paying the
most money at first without giving
thought to the seemingly minor posi-
ton where he had chance TO learn
while working at small pay.

NEW FLOODED STOCK IN MAN
CHESTER

Wilburton Farms have just receiy-
ed a valuable flock or Registered
Hampshiredown sheep from the estate
of Whitelaw Reid. These sheep are
bred from the best blooded sheep Of
England and will be great addition
TO the live stock of Bennington Coun-
ty. We understand that next year the
farmers of this County may purchase
4 few out of this flock. Superinten-
dent Barnes also purchased two
Ayrshire cows in New York last week,
One came on the express and the
other on the flyer Saturday They
are very valuable registered animals
imported from Scotland whore one of
them made d great record for rich
milk as a four year-old. The farmers
of this session will enjoy seeing this
herd of fine cattle and they can learn
how to raise and care for stock that
will sell at high prices every day in
the year.
A registered COW eats no more than
a scrub COW and her calves are worth
from FIVE to ten times as much.

PROUTY REPUDIATES
PR0GRESSIVES' AID
II Is Also Declared That He Is Not
Anxious for Any Party Endorse
ment for Senate,


Rutland, May 25.-Information has
come out that at the Progressive con
ference at Brattleboro last Friday af.
ternoon a letter was read from Chas
A. Prouty, repudiating the Progress
siyes and stating that he did not seek
endorsement from any political party
in his desire to be elected to the
United States Senate.
j. G. Jones, recognized leader Of the
Rutland Bull Moose contingent, who
was present at the meeting, said that
such letter was read, Mr.. Prouty
announcing that hereafter he would
affiliate with the Republican party
and did not desire any endorsement
by the Progressiyes. Mr., Jones could
not remember the phraseology Of the
letter, but said it was not regarded as
especially important. He understood
however, that the letter amounted to
an elimination Of Prouty as a Pro-
gressive candidate for the United
States Senate.
Judge 4. w. Gibson Of Brattleboro
also admitted that such letter had
been read at the meeting, but was un-
able 10 remember its exact language.
His impression was, however, that Mr..
Prouty had asked that no endorsement
should be made Of his candidacy for
the Senate, either by the Progressive
or by any other party.
The general impression among Rut-
land Progressiyes yesterday was that
Prouty was "out Of IT,"

W. G. Gallagher Of Philadelphia
president of the Chrysotile Asbestos
corporation, which owns large mine
and plant located near the Eden line
in the town of Lowell, arrived in town
Monday, having accompanied Balti-
more, Md, and Pittsburg, Pa, capital
lists to the mines and also over the
whole proposed route from North
Troy to Stowe.
Mr.. Gallagher confirmed the report
that surveys will be made the first Of
June for steam railroad from the
mines to either Johnson or Morris
Vile. He said that the matter Of
financing the construction had been
arranged and the route to be chosen
would be determined later. Johnson
has the advantage over Morrisvile as
regards distance, being only Ia miles
from the plant, while the distance to
Morrisville is about four miles great
n. On the other hand, the possible
lies of extending the road later and
making the road to the mines part
Of the connecting link, would seem to
favor Morrisville.
The plant at the company's mine
has been quite extensively operated
since 1907, until the past year. when
it has been closed The product has,
previous to this time, been hauled by
team to Johnson. President Gallagher
says the plant will be reopened in
June and that the company has an or
Ter for 5000 tons Of the product for
1915 delivery from manufacturing
firms in Germany and Austria
The present capacity of the plant
is only 10 tons per day, but this will
be increased to 100 ons,which amount
the company claims it can contract
