THE RIGHT OF WAY WHEN FIRE

rules of the road when the fire depart
ment is called out should be given due
consideration by the entire public of

of those rules will add to the efficiency

normal degree Of danger is increased

department assert. there has been a
marked laxity Of late, especially since
the return Of good road conditions has
brought out the automobiles. on the part
OF the public on occasions Of this nature;
and there has been decreased regard for

Street Work in Rutland.

| The News does not wish to be captious
or supercritical as to the street work in
Rutland. However, the taxpayers of this
city have expended in the last generation
something like third of million dol.
lars in road improvement, and large
proportion of this money has been vast.
ed simply because roads which have been
built have not been maintained. Only
last year good many hundreds OF dol
lars were spent on State street, from
Grove to the house of correction, to lay a
macadam roadway. This is the second
time this street has been constructed
within the short period of tlve years. To-
day there are breaks in this roadbed
which if not given prompt attention will
soon lead to its disintegration. A com
paratively few dollars expended in re-
pairs on surfaced street the minute
holes develop and weaknesses manifest
themselves will save many fold the ex
penditure later on. And State street is
only one OF several instances of the same
character. Road maintenance, if it is
conducted on the principle of "a stitch
in time saves nine" is not great finan-
cial burden; rather it is economy. Our
highway builders, it is confidently be.
lieved, have learned by this time that it
is the part of good common sense to
promptly repair roadbeds; otherwise all
of the expensive lessons of the last 20
years have gone for naught.- Rutland

returned to her school studies at the re,
sumption OF the spring term. 1t is per-
haps not fair to assert that she knew
she had been exposed to the disease but
il is reasonable to assert that had she
suspected in the least degree that she
had been exposed to smallpox she should
have remained away from her school and
strictly in her own home. In no other
way can Vermont stamp out the disease
which has persisted in mild form in
several Vermont towns during the latter
part of the winter and the early spring
and which now seems in fair way to
spread to other communities through
careessness. The necessity for the strict
enforcement of quarantine until the time
has been passed for the appearance Of
contagious disease should not be permit
ted to be overlooked. Every community
has a serious duty on hand to uphold
such quarantine, and the people of every
such community should take full cog
nizanee of the danger of spreading the
contagion.

The Spring Hobo.

Many kind hearted people unintention
ally do an injustice to their community
in feeding tramps who beg from house
to house. These pests have a well learn
ed pitiful story to tell, but nine times
out of ten there is little truth in it
The tramp is a danger to property and
society for the reason that he has lost
all self-respect and decency. There il
mo certainty what lawless act he may
commit. it being mostly dependent upon
his inclination and opportunity.
There are enough worthy people in
need of assistance in every community
for the full exercise of all charitable in
clinations. Help, unostensibly given to
such people is a real christian service
and will afford the donor about as much
happiness as it does the recipient.
But deal with the tramp as a danger
and a nuisance. II he is turned over TO
an officer or an officer is put on his trail
he will be properly taken care of. He
VIII not be allowed to suffer from hunger
or cold. If he has a story to tell it will
be investigated and if it happened to be
true he would undoubtedly be helped to
reach his destination or carry out his
plan.
If there was no worth in the fellow he
would be sent where he could earn his
bread and butter by little actual work
and without being danger TO society
for time at least.
just at the present time tramps are
infesting the farming communities and
instead of asking for food. are simply
demanding it, and if it is not forthcom-
ing they are impertinent and sometimes
threatening.
II a tramp comes to your door and
asks for food. don't give il until you
have set the fellow TO work, to split
some wood rake your lawn or any one
of the multiple Of things needful TO be
done just now. II he will not work for
his meal, don't give II to him. He is
not worthy Of your help, and there are
plenty of people who are.-Northfield

From boyhood days, as tobacco fac.

story of Richard j. Reynolds of Winston
Salem, n. c.
Mr.. REYNOLDS believes in advertising.
He reinvests between 2 and 3 per cent. OF
his annual sales in advertising. When
YOU know that in 1914 the X. j. Reynolds
Tobacco Cos. output amounted to many
millions OF pounds of tobacco, it isn't
difficult to understand just what or 3
per cent. in advertising means in dollars
and cents. The Reynolds advertising ae-
count is among the heaviest ever known.
In 1894 Mr. Reynolds first realized that,
properly applied and backed by tobacco
worth all he asked for it, advertising was
profitable. He invested $4,000 that year
and saw his business grow over 100000
pounds. Next year he spent five times
as much-and his business doubled,
From that period TO the present the
n. J. Reynolds To bacco Co. has surged
forward with sincere belief in the quail
ity of its brands-and firm confidence in
ma. keting them with intelligently con-
ceived and applied newspaper and maya

Already the people of the nations at

the loss of the large amounts OF money
which American tourists have been carry

is Europe's loss will to a large degree,
be Americas gain, and since New Eng

Does Shipping PAY?

British shpowners, in defense against
the allegation that they make exrobitant
profits out of the great war, have sub
mitted statement that is highly inter

companies operating cargo craft show by
detailed accounts that dividends and bo-
nus 10 their stockholders amounted 10
| 1880 per cent. in the year 1914, as COM
pared with 1890 in the year preceding.
This statement IL apparently received by
the British press and public as a salts

paid only after liberal allowance from
