The Omen Life.

Do more than exist-live fearing spirit
ual poverty more than punishment for sin I;
having self-love, but not seltishness. Be
righteous, but not self-righteous
Be honest in your convictions rather than
consistent with Your past belief; welcome
light, look forward. Keep in touch with
the times be true though not popular,
guided by principle rather than policy; la
ment not that you have no more talents,
prove your fidelity by using those you
have. Be discontented with what you are,
but contented with what you have, salts
fed but not sef-satisfed Love as well as
think; aspire as well as plan.
IIav, a mind open to God s thoughts, a
heart open to Gods love-this is the open
life Ulysses Sumner Milburn

to be thanked rather than kicked for
his enterprise in developing Vermont
water powers. When you get right
down to it. the interests of the people
and of Mr.. Fits and the corporations
with which he is connected, are lden-
teal. 1t is quite easy to create Il diff
ferent feeling about it, and it is true
that there exists that different feeling,
but in the final analysis the interests
Of capital and labor are so ntertWined
as to be inseparable. If this fact were
recognized and if men would but con
slider the problem in its larger and
truer phases we would come out of the
valley of class antagonism and arrive
ut the heights OF mutual understanding
and good will. With the various parts
of our industrial commonwealth pull
ing in opposite direction we cannot
hope for the beneficial results that
would come from team work. And
there is nothing that keeps class mis-
understandings and antagOnisms alive
like the expression of ill digeste,
thinking concerning the problem.

REVOLVER CLUB
WILL HOLD MEET
All-Day Event Planned for Tomorrow
Range Laid Out On Plateau
Back of Last Block Factory.

The members and guests of the Re-
volver club will hold an all-day shoot
tomorrow, which all are urged to at
tend. The committee in charge has
laid OUT range On the plateau ly-
my back of the Last Block factory,
about 20 minutes walk from the end
Of the ear line. This range will be
perfectly safe. 1t is near the Old trail
which leads from near the Richard
son farm TO Broad brook.
The meet will be held there, if
pleasant, but as the committee has
not as yet had time to erect a club
house, in case it should be cloudy and
look likely to rain the meet will be
at the well-known clubhouse on Wan
tastiqdet mountain, where everything
is convenient for good day S sport,
rain or shine.

Trend in the RIGHT Direction.

Both st. Albans and Brattleboro show
appreciable gains in polls as the result of
the reports of their respective grand lists,
but the gains are so nearly the same that
the comparison rather discounts Brattle-
horo's claim to great growth during the
past year, inasmuch as st. Adams prob
ably did not gain much in population.
Nevertheless. the trend in both these com
munitles was very definitely in the right
direction, and each is to be congratulated
on the showing made; they are helping to
make good the losses noted in many other
towns of the state from year to year as
the listers and assessors report.

DUST BATH IS A NECESSITY
