impovershing Of the State. Starr,
Pearsons, Warner are names that have |
become permanent life-giving powers
where once they served their generation |
in daily toll. The bread cast upon the
waters has been found. Vermont has
no better investment than its colleges.
8. Institutions of higher learning con-
meet the present with the past. The
generations pass away, dynasties sue
coed each other, political parties are
now dominant, then lose power and
finally vanish, but institutions of learn
ing continue from age to age. They
unity successive periods of time, they
combine important events in an histori-
cal embodiment Oxford dates from S72,
the pride of England while Tudors,
Stuarts, Hanoverans have come and
gone. The Sorbonne, founded in 1858,
has seen Bourbons, Napoleons, Revolu
tions, Reservations fit across the sur
face of France But we need not go to
the Old World for illustrations of our
theme. We have colleges and univer-
sites that have endured not only
through decades but through centuries.
Harvard will soon complete her third
century and Cotton Mather is as truly a
living author as is James Russell Lowell.
Yale University has history of more
than two centuries and Jonathan Ed
wards, who graduated when the college
was twenty-seven years old, is still her
most distinguished alumnus. James
Marsh stands by the side of M. H.
Buckham of the University of Vermont.
Middlebury College is passing the fif-
teenth year of its second century and
its entire life is an important factor in
the history of Vermont. The classes of
Silas Wright, of Thomas J. Conant,
James Davis Butler Z. J. Phelps come
to mind when their names are men
toned. Indeed the College is a monu-
ment built up tier on tier by historic
names. The catalogues contain the
names of fathers and sons who become
brothers by graduation All graduates,
of whatever date, meet at commence
ment as members of one family and
contemporaries in age. The State does
not possess any organization, church or
society, that embraces so much of
= history in living force as is to be found
; in its colleges.

Vermont does not possess a mono
poly of the Pudding Hills and Sucker
Hollows. The National Geological
Survey publishes a list of refined,
poetical names from the local geo.
graphy of Iowa. That State has a
Farm Creek, a Chicken Creek, a
Duck Creek, Goose Creek, a num-
Der of Turkey Creeks, as we'll as
Pidgeon Creek. There are Fox, Hawk,
and Rat creeks to devour the domestic
animals, and some Crow creeks, while
there are also Fly Creek and Mosquito
Creek to worry the summer boarders.
Milk and Cold Water creeks are present,
likewise Hog Run and Mud Creek,
so that Bacon Creek is not strange 1t
is fitting that with a Bee Creek and a
Bee Branch there should also be a
Honey Creek. There are a couple of
Cherry creeks, Crabapple Creek and
plenty of Plum creeks, and for wild
animals we have Bear. Beaver. Buck
Crane, Deer, Doe, Elk. Otter, Panther,
Raccoon, Skunk. and Wolf creeks
With Keg Creek there is Whiskey
Creek and a Whiskey Run. Finally
there is a Purgatory Creek

THE BEST PART OF THE PAPER

Bennington Banner.
The average reader of a newspaper
often misses the best matter in the
paper. He looks over the display heads,
chances at the local news and feels that
tains. The fact is, however, much of
the most valuable matter is in the OBJ
scure corners, with single line heads and
nothing to attract attention. 1t is this
class of matter, the selected reprint
from other papers and the less spectac-
ular of the news that actually contains
the most varied and often the most valu-
able information to be found in a news
paper.

HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS?

SDo colds settle on your chest or in your
bronchial tubesp Do coughs hang on, or
are you subject to throat troublesr
Such troubles should have immediate
treatment with the strengthening powers
of Scott's Emulsion to guard against
consumption which SO easily follows.
Scott Emulsion contains pure cod liver
oil which peculiarly strengthens the res
piratory tract and improves the quality of
the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and
heals the tender membranes of the throat
Scott's is prescribed by the best special
lists. You can get it at any drug store.

Of these statesmen are going to

are few suggestions by which
you might oIsn the conversa-

Ask them what they will do
to help YOU sell the goods they
want you to buy.
Ask them if their firm is go
ing to advertise their goods in
the newspaper of your city. IT,
they reply No, ask them why
not?
Tell them that it is necessary
for them to create the demand
in your city, among your GUS
toners, for their line Of goods;
otherwise you cannot push their
e HE III RlClCI OnSS W VuO6O
manufacturers or jobbers who
do create this demand.
Tell them the best way to
create the demand is to adver-
tise in the local newspapers;
that your customers read the
newspapers published here;
that you yourself advertise in,
them; and that you are not will
ling to spend your money to
make their particular brands
popular in this town and later
have them take the line away
from you and give it to your,
competitor.
Tell them that you favor
goods which are advertised in
your local newspapers because
you find it more profitable to
do so.

to hold. Itshould be q stand-pat

Iowa and the Lincoln High

Iowa and the Lincoln High
way.
Clinton, Iowa, just about
every thing that can be done
to improve Iowa's section Of
the Lincoln Highway short at
actual hard surfacing has been
done. Cuts and fills, grading.
dragging, scraping have made
the Lincoln Highway across
this state almost a railroad
grade, wide, smooth ard in dry
weather practically perfect.
Yet we all know that a few
hours rain serves 10 make all
of this expensive work useless.
One is foolish to attempt ia
drive the Lincoln Highway in
Iowa during or Immediately
after heavy rain. The very
places where the most work
has been done are then found
to be the worst. After every
rain the state of Iowa pays
thousands of dollars in cash
and time and labor putting the
roads in shape again. During
thu rainyqspells translate tour
lists and farmers traffic alike
are forced to wait.
Last year our farmers COM
tributed a billion dollars to the
wealth of Iowa and this year
the sum will be larger. 1t
would be larger every year if
the cost of hauling their pro.
ducts to market over unimprov-
ed roads could be cut in half or
still greater reductions worked
by hard surfaced roads. The
present waste in this respect is
enormous and is we'll realized.
In 1914 Iowa had lO7, 900 reg
istered automobiles. To date
over $4,000 have registered
this year, that the numser of
cars in Iowa will pass 10000
before the end of the year
seems certain. These cars re-
present an investment of at
least $3.50, O00, 600 which is prac-
tically worthless every time it
rains.
In addition to this vast num-
her Of locally owned cars. 'h,e
Lincoln Highway is bringing
into the state every month an
increasing number of cars from
every part of the country.
These tourists bring a focd of
new wealth to the state. More
important than that they carry
away and spread to the ends Of
the nation the story good or
bad of Iowa's roads
To remedy conditions in this
state, nothing but legislative
action is needed. The per cap
ital wealth on the farms is
$1682 When our counties can
anticipate by bond issue for
permanent road building the
road bailding revenues of years
which under the present sys-
tenn are wasted we will have
permanent roads in Iowa both
on the Lincoln Highway and
elsewhere and our farmers or
our tourists can move where
they will be it wet or drv.
When our state law is brought
up to date our roads will be.

 WRITES OF THE EXPOSITION

A Haines lady recently received the following letter from her little 11-year-old neice, who is living in San Francisco. The descriptive mat ter and composition are so remark able for a child of the above men toned age that we take pleasure in reproducing the letter, and more particularly because a competitive English composition contest is now going on between the pupils in the Skagway public school:
 San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 15, "A. Dear Aunt:
 Today is Exposition Letter Day and all of the children are writing letters to their relatives or friends to tell them about the Exposition.
 The war will not effect the Ex- position. None Of the nations that intended exhibiting have withdrawn. The Netherlands, Japan and Argen- tina have asked for additional space. Seventeen foreign nations and twenty-two states are building on the Exposition grounds. Five neu- tral nations have pavilions nearing completion. They are the Nether- lands, Italy, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Although Great Britain and Germany are not officially par ticipating they will have large and important buildings and exhibits, as will France, Turkey, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan.
 Exhibits have arrived from Eng land, Cuba, China, Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Argentina, the Philippines, Hawaii, and the Netherlands. Costly eX- hihits are pouring in from all parts of the world. A United States gov ernment vessel is enroute with eX- hibits from several European coun- tries in the war zo1e.
 The Exposition is ninety-seven per cent completed and will be one hundred per cent completed on the opening day, February 20, 1915, It will be the first exposition of color, and will be the most beauti- ful and the most wonderful exposi- ton in history.
 The warshlp pageant will pro cred through tue canal to the Ex- position as originally planned, with President Wilson and Admiral Geo. Dewey at the head.
 More than three hundred nation al and international congresses have voted to meet in San Francisco in 1915.
