Farmers Should Raise Grain

Every farmer in Vermont should
raise as much grain as possible. The
war is sure to make prices high and
there will be a market fol every
bushel of wheat, corn, oats, rye, and
barley. Even if not much is shipped
from Vermont the prices of feed
next fall are likely to- be SO high
that the long headed farmer will do
well to raise what he wants and as
much more as possible. The records
of the United States government
show that Vermont soil will produce
more spring wheat per acre than the
best wheat soils of Minnesota, Dakota
or Iowa so why shouldn't Vermont
farmers this year each SOW few
acres of wheat. Much wheat was
raised here in the early history of
the state and it is a good time to try
the crop again. Bennington Banner.

A Fast Vermont Engine

In very readableand informing
article in the current St. Nicholas
upon locomotives occurs the follow
ing paragraph of State interest:
'In 1848, Baldwin, the Philadelphia
silversmith and matchmaker, W h o
had been building locomotives since
1882, designed and built a fast pas
senger engine, the Governor Paine
for the Vermont Central. 1t had one
pair Of 7S-inch drivers, and a boiler
Is feet long, and weighed only %
tons, but it ran mile in 43 seconds"
We confess that we had to look up
in our Vermont history to see who
this engine was named for and we
there learned that Charles Paine was
governor of Vermont for the biennial
period of 1841-43. Springfield Re-
porter.

FRIDAY, APRIL %, 1915
1t Pays to Advertise

That it lays to advertise has been
demonstrated so many times that it
is about useless to say anything about
it. Merchants and others frequently
suggest that patronage of the local
papers is for it's assistance, and to
help out a struggling institution.
The poverty of the average news
paper is so we'll known that it hardly
seems proper to enlarge upon this
phase of the situation. Newspapers
are more often regarded as neces-
sary evil which people patronize to
keep from getting hurt.
The truth is, that any commercial
or industrial centre without a news
paper is a "dead one". Such a COM
munity needs newspaper as much
as it needs churches and schools.
Moreover, a county would be small
and insignificant indeed, without a
newspaper.
The only proper support for a
county paper is
Q) Subscribe for it.
(2) Patronize it's advertising
columns literally.
81 Let your local paper do all
your job printing.
In no other way, can a local paper
live, and the value of property and
the spirit and life of a community be
maintained.
lfyou see a live and prosperous
business anywhere, you see an adj
vertiser who uses the columns of the
local paper vigorously and consist
emily. For illustration: The Ameri
can Roofing Co., beginning with last
autumn, started a special advertising
campaign. AS result, for tn
months of January and February of
this year, its maximum gain in bust
ness was seventy per cent. AS &
further result, it has kept its 1861
employees constantly engaged a
regular wages.
While other concerns were pros
trated by the depression, this enter
prising concern started its advertis
ing with the results stated.

What Was Happenin $50
Years Ago

Now make your bets on the date
the ice will go out of the pond.
We have very pleasant news res
pecting one of our brightest boys, in
learning that Master ]. B. Benton of
Guildhall takes the second position
for scholarship at the st. Johnsbury
Academy.
Last Saturday morning as Mrs.
H. H. Hobson was walking on Derby
St., she stepped upon a piece of ice
and fell, badly spraining her ankle.
1t is feared that she will be confined
to the house for long time.
A gentleman who sojourned here
over the Sabbath, and who was ap-
parently a candid and creditable
man, said that he stopped in this
town 81 or 80 years since, and re-
membered that there was but one
hotel in the place and a railroad
boarding house; and that Squire
Boniface to increase his store, got up
an ingenious continuance to attract
custom and roll in the shekels. Every
day, towards evenings huge serpent
appeared in the pond, the borders of
which came close up to his house, and
this with the wildness of the scenery
about, attracted large crowds, so that
the borders of our little lake or pond
were wont to be lined with people,
they being charged New York prices
by the hotel keeper for their enter
tainment. This serpent was about 60
or 70 feet in length, and for a time
was great success, but on its being
discovered that it consisted of a
structure of india-rubber, and that
! by means of concealed wires it was
pulled down into the water or al
lowed to rise to the surface at the
will of the manipulation, the novelty
and interest were gone, and the
fashionable boarders at the hote
suddenly disappeared, disguste d.
| The narrator stated that he actually
saw the serpent representation. Now
there are many things that lead Us
to believe this a canard, but the cir
cumstances connected with it being
so frankly and confidently related by
a person whose appearance gave
credence to his story leads us to cal
on our oldest citizens to rise anc

A New DispensatiOn

In closing personal injury case in
Franklin County court the other day,
Judge Frank l.. Fish gave a striking
example of the cruelty and uneco-
nomic waste of the old common-law
system of compensation for injured
workmen through the courts.
lnstructing the jury to return a
verdict for the defendant, the court
called attention to the fact that
when Jennie Martin went to work
for Ralph C. Whitcomb in laundry,
she voluntarily assumed the risk of
operating mangle, and so she re-
covers nothing for losing four fingers
of her left hand and must go through
life crippled and partly helpless to
earn an honest living.
The learned Judge was correct in
his Interpretation of the law, but
cases like Jennie Martins have re.
suited in workmen's compensation
acts and a better, more humane
principle of dealing with the victim
of work-aecidents.
Had it been possible to place Whit
combs laundry under the Vermont
workmen's compensation act :, just
enacted, Jennie Martin would not
have been compelled to sue her EN-.
ployer. She merely would have given
due notice, and, subject to the new
system, would have received matter
of 70 weeks compensation. based on
one-half of her regular wages; not
very much. it's true, but several
hundred dollars better than nothing
wifi CHI the common-law system
awards her to-day.
This theory of the assumption OF
risk, together with the twin doctrines
of contributory negligence and fel.
low-servant are a trio of defenses
built up by shrewd counsel during
centuries of lawsuits under the com.
mon law, made necessary by the
unjust, exemplary verdicts usually
given by juries where negligence on
the part of the employer could be
shown.
If employers and their workmer
will work earnestly together under
the workmen's compensation act Of
this State, effective next July l., il
will be substantial and significant
advance in dealing with the industrial
problems and their victims. Rutland
