VERMONT
A Song

My heart is where the hills fling W
Green garlands to the day.
'Tis where the blue lake brims he1
cup,
The sparkling rivers play.
My heart is on the mountain still,
Where'er my steps may be.
Vermont, o maiden of the hills,
My heart is there with thee!
Oh, you may find a prouder dame,
With jewel at the ear
And richer robe and louder fame,
But never face so dear!
No queen has had for followers
A holder train of men;
And when again the need is hers
They shall be hers again.
My heart is where the hills fling up
Green garlands to the day.
'Tis where the blue lake brims her
cup,
The sparkling rivers play.
My heart is on the mountain still,
My steps return to to thee,
Green hooded maiden of the hills,
Lady of Liberty

the best possible place to live in be-
cause (and / hope the Caledonian
will pardon John Fiske's masculine
vocabulary nobody gives a damn
for you in Cambridge and you can
live as you please" In Greensboro,
too, you can live as you please, forth
fed by the surprising tolerance and
friendliness of your neighbors. They
live and let live. The people who
settle here for their summers
are mainly "of one sort" and it is
good sort. The few misfits dis
cover that another place would suit
them better, and they move on. The
fir-balsams and cedars do not seem
to miss them.
Indeed, on a MINDLESS day in late
September or early October, as you
paddle along the shore of the desert
ed lake, and watch the squirrels, rab-
bits and cartridges take possession
of the abandoned cottage porches,
you discover that nobody is really
missed the water and shore and
sky are sufficient to themselves, and
that you, yourself, are not wanted.
And yet, the next June, they seem

They found there, too, audiences who
could appreciate the best they could
give.
The view showing the center of the
village in winter time gives a very
good idea of the business of the place.
In the front is the hotel. On the left
is the mill of the Greensboro Grain
company On the right part of the
general store of Cuthbertson Broth
ers is seen and beyond it on the cor
ner is the store of B. M. Wiley.
The oldest firm in the village is the
Cuthbertson Brothers and they are
credited with doing the largest bust
ness of any firm in the village. Forty
nine years ago this business was start
ed by the father of the two brothers,
H. M. Cuthbertson and G. M. Cuth-
bertson, and it has been continuously
in the family ever since. Naturally
conservative, they buy only goods of
proven value and so are able to sell
goods that satisfy. Archie B. Cuth-
bretson, a son of H. M. Cuth bertson,
is also employed in the store and this
infusion of young blood aids in
keeping the stocks thoroughly up-to-
date. The Cuthbertsons are identified
with other features of the village and
have built some very attractive resi-
dences which they occupy.
A. E. and l.. A. Perrin, associated
under the name of Perrin Brothers,
is another old firm that for rs years
has been engaged in the manufacture
of wagons, sleds and iron work. They
learned a trade and were instructed
to build right, even if they could not
build so fast, and they followed their
instruction Their handiwork can be
found in many homes, cottages and
on the farms in the whole region

The Greensboro Grain company
is the new name for very old estab-
lisnment that has performed q large
amount of work for the people of the
vicinity. J. H. Darlington, the young
and progressive manager, has associ-
ated with him capital from a large
ST. Johnsbury grain firm and in CO.
operation with them has built up a
very large and successful business
among the farmers.
The general store of B. M. Wiley
is located on the corner, is well light
ed and has the most modern appear
ance of any of the stores. Mr.. Will
ley is an industrious young man who
devotes his whole time to his business
and he has built up a large and sue
cessful business and is recognized as
a man always awake to an opportun-
ity to develop the town as well as his
own business.

THE ORIGINAL CABIN.
Used as a Mess Hall and the Land as
Picnic Grounds.

Greensboro as a summer resort
was first discovered by Vermont
people. About so years ago a cluI
of young men and women from
Montpelier and other parts of the
state established a camp on the point
of land now known as Birch Point
and long familiar as the farm OF
John Black, formerly the WhitelaW
farm.
This camp is said to have been the
first on Caspian Lake. 1t was found
ed by Mr.. Hubbard of Montpelier on
the northern shore of the point and
was known as the Hubbard Camp.
A little cabin, used as a mess hall,
was the nucleus of the camp, and
near it the club members lodged in
tents.
After the club ceased to use this
camp the site was a favorite picnic
ground for many years, its large, old
forest trees and rocky shore making
it one of the most beautiful on the
lake.
The site of this camp, with several
acres surrounding it, is now Ramble-
wood, the summer home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward H Bancroft of New
York city, and their daughter, Miss
Jessie H. Bancroft, a director of
physical training in the New York
public schools.
In 1908, when the place was pur-
chased. of John Black, Mr.. Bancroft
found the cabin, which had not been
open for many years, in a surpris-
ingly good state of preservation, and
converted it into a cosy refuge for
afternoon tea and picnic suppers,
with a work bench for handicraft oc-
equations. Mr.. Bancroft also made
the old boat house on the waters

PosTPoNINe OLD AGE.

Overworked, weak or diseased kid
neys will often make a man or woman
feel old before middle age. Rheuma-
tism, aches and pains in back, puf1ness
under eyes, stin joints and sore muscles,
biliOusness, headache and various other
symptoms give warning that the kid
neys need help. Foley Kidney Pills
bring a sound, healthy condition and
help the kidneys eliminate uric acid
and other poisons from the system,
which, when permitted TO remain, cause
dangerous disease. c. G. Bingham.

Later the White House gave out the folowing

This statement has been prepared and will be issued

the leaders of all the Mexican factions.
Officials at the White House and state department decln-
ed what the Presidents statement contained but de-
MED that recognition of any faction contemplated

each instance a reduction Of $500
On the petition public hearing was
ordered to be held at the Offices Of
this commission at Augusta, On May
%, 1915. Notice of such hearing was
proved to have been given as ordered
From the evidence adduced at the
hearing it appeared and we find that
the Moosehead Telephone & Telegra phi
Co. is a corporation lately formed I'M
der the general law for the purpose Of
doing a general telephone business in
what is known as the ''Moosehead re-
gion." Its authorized capital stock is
$3.50, 900 The territory to be served en-
braces that row covered by the North
ern Maine Telephone & Telegraph Co.
the Noosehead Telephone Co. and a
portion Of that covered by the New
England Telephone & Telegraph Co.
This territory is fully described in the

TIE reason for the formation Of this
new company grew out of the neces-
stiles Of the patrons Of the three exist
ing companies in this Moosehead re-
gion. and which necessities were not
being properly served by such COM
panies operating separately. Both the
Moosehead and the Northern Maine

dividuals or by corporations not ex-
clusiyely engaged in the telephone bus

Intervention Possible

High officials referred to the Presi-
dents forthcoming pronouncement as
not meaning immediate intervention
and they emphasized the word i'm
mediate" The impression in execu-
tive quarters was that one purpose
would be to place responsibility for
the present state Of affairs sQuarely
upon the military elements in the
southern republic. While anxious to
continue the policy Of allowing the
Mexicans 10 settle their differences
without outside interference, the
President is said to be determined
that the civilian population of the
meantime.
Talk Of intervention. which has been
dormant ever since the European war
diverted attention from the situation
nearer home, was Immediately revived
by the White House statement.
For the present it is understood
the notification to all the Mexican fac
ions Of the intolerable state of affairs
and the desire of the American gov
eminent for a betterment Of condi-
tons will be allowed to stand with
out explanation while the relief work
Of the American Red Cross is under
taken in earnest.
Agents Information
Officials fatty denied reports that
Great Britain through her embassy
there, had been exerting pressure for
the relief of conditions in Mexico. 1t
was pointed out, however, that Duval
West after spending three months maxi
ing an investigation Of conditions in
Mexico, is understood to have brought
back information tending to show that
none of the leaders had sufficient ca
pacity to dominate the situation and
have suggested that the United States
must compel a settlement The idea
that by relieving distressed conditions
among the populace the influence of
the United States government upon
the warning factions would increase, is
said to have been one of Mr. Vests
arguments. His reports were of a de-
