Walking.

Every inch Of every foot is meant
for use When man walks in the
right way, speaking literally, the back
of the heel strikes the ground first.
Then the rest Of the heel comes down,
after which the outer edge OF the foot
takes the bulk of the burden until the
forward movement shifts the weight to
the ball of the foot and finally to the
toes. The ideal step is slightly rock
ing motion. At no time should the en-
tire foot be pressed against the ground
Heel to toe is the movement. Try it
and see how much farther and more
easily you can walk. It's the Indians
way, and what poor 10 doesn't know
about footwork can go into the discard.

ORR WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, D. G., Aug. 30 The
Democratic Congress Is responsible
FER heavy loss both u money and
efficiency, in the work q the Office q
Table Roads,
Three important phases Of good
road development practically had 70
be abandoned for q year because the
Democrats failed to pyss before the
close 81 the fiscal year of 1913, the
Agricultural Appropriation Bill, which
provides money for good roads,
The first loss fell upon the expert
mental road work. A portion Of each
ears appropriation is devoted to eN-
perimcntal road building in and near
Washington, in order TO make seien-
tifc tests and discover improved
methods in road construction. The
officials could not carry out these
tests properly. The delay in securing
their appropriations caused an estim-
ated loss Of about onc-tenth Of the
fund, with an even greater loss in
efficiency because many Of the expert
monts could not be made at all.
The second loss occurred because
officials were unable to contract for
new work until the money was ac-
tuaIly appropriated II is n maxim in
good road building that al work I'm
dertakcn must be completed IN the
same summer. Congress failed to APP
propriate the money until nearly the
middle Of August Before bids could
be secured and contracts let fall was
approaching and the roads would not
be completed Machinery either had
TO be moved to warmer localities o.
remain idle, all Of which entered into
the amount Of the bids. The new
roads cost more and their construction
was delayed for an entire season.
The third loss occurred in connec-
ton with furnishing government road
engineers to local communities to give
advice in local road building. Scores
Iof these experts were in Washington
at the time, ready to start for local
points as soon as Congress passed the
A bin. There was nothing they could do
here, and 10 money to send them to
the field.
! When the appropriation bill was
finally passed, it was too late for
many OF them to report to the local
communities to which they had been
assigned. Their efficiency was de-
stroycd and their salaries and ex-
penses were total loss during the
weeks they were delayed by the in
action of the Democratic Congress.

have heard young executives make
the remark that they could do all the
work Of an organization excepting
raise the money. Raising money is
the whole test of an executives abil-
ity. An executive cannot do good
work but that he will raise money.
Can you find an organization that is
really doing good things, that is
really producing lasting results in the
community, to which large numbers
Of people are not responding ? Can
you find an organization which is a
failure in its results and yet which
is being supported from year to year
by large numbers of people? The
best way to measure the results Of
an organization or the work of an or
ganization is by the number of people
who are willing year after year to
give money to carry on that work.
The fact that an organization Is
promoting activity is not an excuse
for its existence. The only excuse for
the existence Of any social service,
community development, religious or
philanthropic organization, is that it
actually produces changes for the
better in it, community. The only
changes which are vital and lasting
are changes in character. The only
character worth promoting is that
kind Of character which Christ sought
To bring about in mankind and per
haps not the only, but the best, prac-
teal measure Of such work is the
number Of people who are willing year
after year to give Of their personal
means TO support that work.
In short, the citizens of Benning-
ton county have not only a right but
a duty 10 demand that the County
Association produce actual results. i
have confidence that increased results
will be parallelled by increased mem
berships thus bringing in more money
TO carry on the great work. The
greatest indication that results are be-
ing obtained is the fact that the mem
bership has increased 80 per cent in
the last six months. Let as look for
ward TO even better work, bringing IN
more and rrore members which in turn
will again enable still better work 70

The Late J. f. Austin

Earlv Wednesday morning, August
18th, the life of James Erwin Austin
came peacefully and quietly to close.
He was the oldest resident of this vii
lage, being in his 92nd year. He was
born in Frankfort, N. Y, January 2,
1924, where his early years were spent.
In 1916 he was married to Mary l..
Shaw of Rupert, who celebrated with
him their 10th wedding anniversary.
February 26 of this year. In 1852 he
moved to this town. He was the first
regularly appointed station agent
here, filling the position most faith
fully for over 46 years, during more
than 20 years Of which he did not lose
one hour from his post of duty.
Though obliged to retire some years
ago, his interest in railroad affairs
was still keen and he derived much
pleasure from watching from his ver-
anda the activities around the station.
He was loyal and devoted member Of
the Congregational Church in which
he served as deacon for nearly 30
years. He was jealous and earnest
in his support Of every plan and un-
dertaking Of the church that made for
righteousness. One so conscientious,
faithful and active will be sorely miss
ed in the church work. In his home
he was cheerful, helpful, and consid-
crate Of his family. In the commun-
ity he was a good citizen, respected by
all. He showed much public spirit and
was ready to lend his aid to any i'm
provement in the village. He did much
toward identifying the grounds Of our
main street and those about the sta
ton. His was life well spent, race
we'll run. The funeral was held from
his late home Friday, at o'clock. His
pastor, Rev. j. Duke King, spoke most
fittingly from the text: well done,
good and faithful servant; enter thou
into the joy of thy Lord" The burial
service under the direction Of Under
taker Burton of Salem was most
beautiful and impressive. The abund-
snce Of beautiful flowers attested the
love and estem in which Mr.. Austin
