Tho conflict had to come soon or late
between the worship OF Baal and the
worship Of Jehovah. Sin and righteous
ness wage constant battle. hut some
day they come to final engagemer, In
mans life. and then is decided tho
question whether no will henceforth be
ruled by God or by the devil Elijah
In his splendid greatness. commanded
that the battle between the false and
the true be fought on Mount Carmel.

the prophets or priests Of Baal. $50 of
them. clothed in their white vcstrncnts
with flaming disc on their turbans to
signify their worship Of the sun. Tho
great prophet of Jehovah was alone
with his one youthful attendant
And then began the conflict. Could
the heather Baal, whom the! wor-
SHIPPED send fire TO consume tho pre-
pared sacrifice on the altar? All day
long tho priests cried "Raal. Eaal." They
reused themselves TO frenzy and cut
their bodies with sharp Instruments as

The Street Oiling Question

The matter of oiling the streets in Nor
risville in preference to sprinkling has
been discussed to some extent the past
week. AS predicted in this paper last
week, the matter will be decided by the
voters, as a village meeting has been
warned for that purpose, to be held Fri
day evening, May %, at 100 p. m.
There is also an article in the warning
which gives the taxpayers a chance to
vote a special tax ior this purpose if
they decide that oiling is the proper
thing.
The opposition to this method of lay
ing the dust is made both on the grounds
that it costs more than water and that
oil is Objectionable on account of the
smell and the fact that it tracks into
buildings.
Those in favor of the change hold that
if the oil is put on properly much of the
latter objection would be eliminated. As
to the satisfactory results from oiling
they point to surrounding towns that
are continuing the practice after trying
out oil thoroughly. St. Johusbury, it is
understood, has again contracted for
$4,000 square yards of oiled streets. Ac.
cording to information that will be pre-
sented at the meeting, oil that cost St.
Johnsbury s IA cents per gallon last
year for use on side street can be bought
cheaper this year. An attachment that
can be used on a water sprinkler is said
to go with purchase of acertain amount
of oil The cost per square yard for oil.
ing st. Johnsbury's principal streets this
year is said to be .01S5 cents per square
yard, which would make the cost of
what they have contracted for S1O73.
Those opposed to oil say one application
would not be sufficient for a season. 1t
is said that the Standard Oil people
guarantee that one coat properly ap-
piled will last the whole season
These are all matters for the voters to
decide.
In Stowe oil has been used for the past
three years with good results. A car
load has just been received there for use
this spring.
