Brattleboro appears in a rather amusing
light in one portion of the new industrial
book issued by the state publicity bureau
We are told, for instance, that its princi-
pal crops are corn, potatoes garden vege-
tables, fruits and dairy products () the
principal occupations are given in the fol-
lowing understanding, gardening and
manufacturing, while bottles and ex-
tracts" stand at the head of the list of
manufacturing industries. There is also
the information that the village" has
five printing offices and two laundries
and that there are no large tracts of tim
Der in town The author might have
added that the principal street in the
village has stores on both sides and is
quite busy place Saturdays, that the
steam cars stop here every day, that a
good many of the village folks own their
own automobiles, and numerous other
equally important bits of information
With Brattleboro men candidates for
Encouragement on the Republican and
Progressive tickets and another candidate
for lieutenant governor on the Progressive
ticket it is now up to the Democrats of
the state to see that this town is prop

Except for an accident which was due
ITO circumstances with which it had no
connection the storage battery car seems
to have done very well thus far in max
ing its scheduled trips between Brattle-
boro and Millers Falls and Brattleboro
and West Townshend At the end of a
month of regular running time it ought to
be possible to determine definitely as to
the practically of this type of car for
this form of service, Those closely con-
nected with the experiment have little
doubt of its ultimate success and expect to
see two larger and in many ways more
comfortable cars put into service before
very long. As far as the West River
valley is concerned there Is no question
that its traffic can be largely increased by
improved train service. In the past two
or three years it has more than doubled,
more people travelling over the West River
line this summer than ever in its history
What the people in South Londonderry
ought to do is to equip the village with
an electric charging station so that motor

As soon as the experimental period is

have matters arranged so that the motor

house when still alarms are expected.

Boom New England was the
keynote of the address which Presi-
dent Howard Elliott of the New Ha-
ven railroad system delivered yester-
day at the convention of the Amer,-
can Association of General Passenger
and Ticket Agents in Boston. The
way to follow Mr.. Elliott s advice is
for all of us to boom our own com
munities, and in this way we will be
helping to advance New England.

Germany has suggested informally
that the United States undertake to
elicit from Great Britain, France and
Russia a statement of the conditions
under which the allies would make
peace. We imagine that when the al
lies are ready they will tell Kaiser
William that they will make peace
according to their own terms and that
he can take what they are willing to
grant and nothing more.

the village garbage collection and disposal

Earliest Arc Liohts.

A recent historical exhibit of arc
lamps and electricity in Cleveland, o.,
has brought out a bit of interesting
history in connection with the pioneer
arc lamp system built by G. f. Brush.
The first demonstration of these lamps
was made in the public square Of
Cleveland during the summer OF 1876,
and afterward in the fall of the same
year the apparatus was set up at the
centennial exposition at Philadelphia
The exhibit at Cleveland was extern
sively advertised in the newspapers,
and on the evening the demonstration
took place thousands of people assem-
bled, most of whom carried pieces of
smoked or colored glass to protect
their eyes from the arc lamps rays,
which were expected to rival those of
the sun.-Electrical World.

Buffers very dear;

Excuse this briny tear.
I've had to give up steak,

My heart begins to ache
When butcher shops I see.
All things great and small,

One cannot save at all,
However hard one tries.
But there are two things yet
That have not scared in price;
One is the knock you get,
And one unsought advice.

Lay heavy burdens on the rest:
With youth and beauty and good health
She frowns upon the passing throng,
Forgetting her fond fathers wealth,
And sadly thinking all is wrong.
She might be happy, but, alas,
A look of pain is on her face;
Though others who behold her pass
Could be contented in her place,
Her thoughts in angry eddies whirl,
She wriggles in her cushioned seat;
Her corset is too full of girl
Her dainty shoes are bulged with feet
