1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE

Mary had a little lamb, its fleece
was white as snow; it strayed away
one summer day where lambs should
never go. Then Mary sat her down
and tears streamed slowly from her
eyes; she never found the lamb be-
cause she did not advertise. And
Mary had brother, John, who kept a
village store; he sat down and smoked
his pipe and watched the open door.
And as the people passed along and
did not stop to buy, John still sat
down and smoked his pipe and blinked
his sleepy eye.
And so the brokers seized his stock,
but still he fingered near, and Mary
came to drop with him a sympathetic
tear.
"How is it sister, can you tell why
other shopmen here sell all their
goods so quickly and thrive from
year to year,"
Remembering now her own bad
luck the little maid replies, "These
other fellows fatten, John, because
they advertise

A WORD TO THE WISE 1!

Come, Mr.. President, an honest con-
fession is not only good for the soul,
but sometimes a relief for sore eyes,
and you must realize that from start
to finish the policy Of the Administra-
tion in the matter Of Mexico has borne
evil fruit when it has borne any fruit
at all. Except the the futile effort Of
the A. B. C. Conference at Niagara
Falls, no part of it will stand out
against critical scrutiny. If it should
hold over into 1915 and become par
amount issue-as it will, unless mean
while decisive action is put forth and
benefcient results are attained---it will
prove dangerously effective weapon
in the hands Of your enemies.
Each day that passes brings us the
report of some kind of parley at long
range with the faction fighters. Moth
ing is to be hoped from them. Their
trade is revolution. The worse the
internal conditions the better for each.
No one Of them could survive stable
and orderly government. The delays
you are allowing such cut-throats, Mr..
President, are life to them; every
word you address to them is recogni-
ton and encouragement; your unsup-
ported demands pass through their
ears, for minds they have not, as wat
err passes through sieves. They know
only the stress Of arms, respect only
the law Of force. Unless you bring
force to bear, you may brawl and bick
er, back and fill to the end Of time,
with nothing doing toward reclama-
ton, restoration and peace in Mexico.

THREE WOMEN

Beside the highroad of life they sat,
Three women there in the bright oi
day;
And one was young, and one was old
and one the middle way.
Each studied the road with watchful
eyes
That greeted each passer with swift
surmise;
"And whom are ye waiting" the wind
would cry,
"Many, so many, have crossed ye by?"
And the maiden waited for love, she
said,
And the old one waited to greet her
dead;
But the other dreamed Of child
who'd run
Down the broad highroad, ere the day
was done.
For love, for life, and for death, chose
three
Were waiting, waiting so patiently.
"Ah, woman's life is waiting life"
And the old one bowed her head,
81 have waited love, | have waited
child, and now | await my dead;
For a woman's life is waiting life,
and life made all of dreams,
And but for the dreaming who may
tell
But waiting would bear the stamp
Of hell;
For they tarry long it semsw
Beside the highroad of life they sat,
Three women there in the bright of
day,
And one was young, and one was old,
and one the middle way!

Truck Blames c. W. Humphrey of
Poultney for Collision.

Rutland, August 24--Papers wer'
served to-day by Deputy unitet
States Marshal Edward S, Whittakel
Of this city on Charles w. Humphre,
Of Poultney, owned and editor of the
Poultney Journal, in a suit instituted
by John w. Turner Of Syracuse, n
y, who seeks to recover damages OF
$4,000 alleging that he was seriously
injured when thrown from an auto
mobile he was driving when his ma.
chine was struck by an automobile
owned and driven by Mr.. Humphrey
The accident happened August 16 of
this year. Gregg Brothers & Rulison
Of Syracuse, are attorneys for the
plaintiff.
The case is brought in United
States court, the accident happening
in New York State and the defendant
being resident of Vermont. The
case is returnable at the October term
of federal court.
The original paper alleges that on
August 10 the plaintiff was employed
driving motor truck on the SYRIA
cuse Utica highway and at a point
short distance east of Manlius Center
the rear Of his machine was struck by
the Humphrey car, which the COM
plant says was running at an exces-
sive rate Of speed and beyond the
control of the driver The accident
happened at 11:30 o'clock in the morn
ing.
Mr.. Turner swears that he was
thrown from his seat striking on his
left side. He recites numerous inju-
ries, some of them minor and includ-
ing sprained and bruised left shoulder,
torn muscles on left arm and shoul-
der, left hand hurt, back injured and
a severe concussion to his head. Aside
from these he complains of a nervous
breakdown following the accident.
Mr. Turner claims he was driving
in prudent manner, but that the
defendant was negligent. The paper
also asserts that Mr.. Humphrey was
driving in New York without a New
York State license and that he was
driving at rate in direct violation Of |
the laws of the State.
The plaintiff asserts he had no
warning of the approach of the de-
fendant's machine.

WILL CAMP ON HOTEL ROOF
Novel Accommodation Planned For
Vermont Electrical Association

Rutland, August 24-Novel accom-
modations are being made for the
members of the Vermont Electrical
Association who will meet in this city
in annual session September 9. As
this will be during the fair and carni-
val the hotels will be crowded, but to
insure plenty of room for the cleo
trical men the roof of the Hotel Bard
well has been secured. 1t will be en-
closed in canvas and waterproof
canopy will be put up. Beds and cots
will be set up and in addition to a
cool sleeping place the visitors will
have a fine place to view the carnival
illumination and fireworks.
Instead Of papers and business the
association will deovte the first day
to the fair and carnival. On the sec
ond day a clambake will be held prob
ably on the banks Of the Rutland Rail-
way, Light and Power Company's big

tee on military affairs, which is sure
to be one Of the biggest committees
in the imdst Of the wave Of prepared
ness now sweeping the country.
Secretary of State Guy W. BaiIeys
name has been discussed in connection
with an understanding that he might
be a candidate for the United States
senate under certain circumstances
Former Gov. +, c. Smith is another
prominent Vermonter who would nat
urally be considered in connection
with any vacancy in the Vermont del
egation in the upper branch Of con-
gress, and while the Hon. 0. NJ. Bar
ber has high judicial position in the
national capital general mix-up over
the position might find him one Of the
scorers.
Among those named Mr.. Clement
may be expected to stand almost alone
as an active champion of local option
in connection with the referendum on
the liquor question next March, and he
would naturally seek to rally to his
senatorial standard whatever strength
would come to him in that connection
as il came to him in connection with
his governorship contest and cham
of local option when state
prohibition was overthrown in 1902
The people who want to have hand
in selecting their own candidate for
the United States senate as well sas
Cor state and other officers will be all
the more inclined next March to vote
for the act establishing this privilege
instead Of opposing direct nomina-
tions, and il would not be surprising
from all accounts to see the Eyes"
vote predominant in connection with
this referendum as well as the other
on the prohibition referendum to be
voted on at the same time Signif-
'antly enough, Mr.. Clements paper
opposes both propositions, --Burling

War, with all It's horrors, has been
on the front pages OF the newspapers
for months While one may conceive
Of the rayages taking place across the
ocean, little does one know Of the
actual destruction wrought by the
bomb, the machine gun, the fort ar
tiIlery or by the rapidly moving cav
airy.
The sensational feature TO be pre-
sented at the Vermont State Fair al
White River Junction, Sept. IL, Is, l6
and II, will depict the aerial feature
OF modern warfare. Capt Chauncey
Rcdding, one Of Americas leading
ayiators, and the only man in Massa
chusctts having a license 10 drive an
aeroplane, will attack a fort located
on the oval OF the fair grounds by
dropping bombs from high alti-
tude. The fort has its complement Of
soldiers and is fully manned With
the attack Of the fort by Capt. Red
ding, company Of soldiers cadets Of
Norwich University attack the fort
in true land military style. The result
is the blowing up Of the fort by
the bombs dropped from the plane and
the capture OF the soldier occupants
Capt. Redding is an accomplished
aviator He has been doing many
thrilling feats in and around Boston
in the past few weeks One day re-
Gently he flew from Saugus with a
parachute jumper and after sailing
around the Common the parachutist
dropped from the plane and landed in
Joy street. Redding will make flights
showing what can be accomplished in
the air. He will do the stunts that all
the daring aviators have done and
will conclude his twice daily flights by
dropping bombs upon the fort. The
fort has been named Gov. Gates.
With this feature, which is not only
sensational, but Of most daring
nature, thrills sufficient to satisfy the
most exacting are assured.
Everything is moving along nicely
with the State Fair commission in the
preparation for the fair which comes
next month. The new p ublic service
building is well under way and will be
completed several days before the fair
opens.

/ REMEMBER, REMEMBER. !.

| | remember, | remember
The house where was born;
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn.
You'd hardly know the old place now
For dad is up to date,
And the farm is scientific
From the back lot to the gate.
The house and barn are lighted
With bright acetylene,
The engine in the laundry
Is run by gasolene,
We have silos, we have autos,
We have dynamos and things;
A telephone for gossip,
And a phonograph that sings.
The hired man has left us,
We miss his homely face;
A lot of college graduates
Are working in his place.
There's an engineer and fireman,
A chauffeur and a vet,

oh, the FARMS run right, you bet.
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at-morn
Now brightens up a bathroom

And she's sanitary, too;
But dad gets fifteen cents quart
For milk that once brought two.

THE SENATORSHIP
AND STATE ISSUES

We had supposed United States
Senator Carroll S. Page would have a
reelection, if he wanted one, without
serious opposition. Judging from
vague hints thrown out by different
contemporaries, however, there must
be a smoldering fire where there is
such persistent smoke. Following the
intimation of the Brattleboro Reform
er that there would be opposition to
Senator Page, various neighbors have
commented on the situation in a way
to Indicate that they scent trouble for
the senator from LamoiIle.
The Barre Times comments as fol-
lows: "Stories are in the air of con-
templated opposition to Senator Page
when he seeks reelection next year
The recent aeroplane flights of Con-
gresham Frank l.. Greene and Gov
ernor Gates should suggest to the
member from Hyde Park an admir-
able method Of ascertaining whether
or not his fences need mending."
The Rutland Herald discusses an
other phase of the situation in the fol-
lowing pointed paragraph: "There is
an element Of humor in that state
ment Of the Waterbury Record that
Senator Carroll S. Page, once known
as the figuring wizard of Hyde Park,
knows just what to do and when TO
do it, when confronted by opposition.
1t seems likely that the knowledge
will be needed when the time comes.
Peculiar significance is to be at
tached to this utternace, in view of the
fact that the Hon. Perciyal w. Glenn !
ent is long known to have had an
to go to Washington. I'm
der these circumstances a race for the
senatorship "open to the field" would
probably be welcomed by the gentle
man from Rutland, and he would not
be one Of the tail-enders either, al I
though the well-known ambition Of
former Governor Mead might be a
if it meant two candidates
from the Marble city.
So far as Congressman Greene is
he is known TO be satisfied
With the progress he is making in the
louse, as he has abundant reason TO
De, and he would undoubtedly make
10 move in the direction Of a promo
Jon tothe senate unless Senator Page
we're TO retire, and even in that event,
We doubt If he would be in a position

TEN CALVES ADDED
TO L. S. BISON HERD
Buffalo on Wichita National Forest
Now Number 62 and Promise to
Continue Increasing.

/ NOW NUMBER o. anu EfoItlst w
Continue Increasing.
Washington, August 23-The gov
ernment's herd of Buffalo on the Wi
ehita National Forest, in Oklahoma,
which is also federal game preserve,
has been increased by the arrival Of 10
calves, according to report received
by the Forest Service from the super
visor in charge. The herd, which now
comprises 62 speciments Of the almost
extinct bison, is in good condition,
says the supervisor, and promises TO
continue increasing at rapid rate.
Eight of the calves are females,
bringing the number of heifers and
cows up to 30. The bulls number 81
and have been placed by themselves
in a pasture which has just been fenc-
ed in for them.
Three years ago the buffalo herd on
the Wichita Forest was little more
than half as large as it is now. 1t is
said that the other game animals in
the preserve, including the elk and
antelope, also are increasing, due to
the protection afforded, not only
against hunters, but against wolves,
wild cats, and other predatory ami
mails, which committed serious depre-
dations from the establishment Of the
preserve in 1905 until measures were
taken to stop them. In protecting the
game from predatory animals, the
wardens and forest officers are also
promoting the interests of local stock
men, who Craze several thousand head
of cattle on certain allotted areas
within the preserve.
