gressives who have declined to
support Hughes. Whenever possible
their letters are quoted and repeated.
This morning a second letter from a
Progressive who seldom, if ever, voted
the Republican ticket is printed by 4
local Democratic organ. But these
newspapers make no mention of Re-
publicans who are not going to vote
for Hughes. because there are none
such worthy of quoting. Neither do
they say anything concerning the thou
sands of Democrats who intend to

revolving Democrats is Lewis E. Row

Hughes was placed in the Congress

Speed Upon the Water

A boat has been designed by D. N.
Brown of Grand Haven, Mich, which
on test runs has attained a speed Of
40 miles an hour, says Popular Sci
ence. The body Of the craft Is made
of thin galvanized iron over a bass
wood framework two feet wide and
twenty feet long. Two galvanized iron
air tanks are attached to an Outrigger
five feet from the rear end on both
sides, When the four-cylinder motor,
set in the rear, whirls a six-inch pro-
peller, the PROV rises out of the water
and the craft skins along like huge
bird over the surface, the entire
weight resting on about three feet of
the stern. The two tanks maintain
the equilibrium.
The boat has proved success in all
ways, and the inventor believes, with
an improved design, that he will have
a craft capable of making 60 miles
an hour without being crowded.

Advice From Seventy Years Ago.

To young ladies, who, regardless Of
hard times, deck themselves as If for
the sacrificial altar: Ladies' must re-
collect that because their male friends
do not tell their pecuniary dis
tresses, 1t does not follow that they
are at ease In these troublesome times.
Many a man worth his thousands is
"cramped" now. Ladies: Be econom-
ical; lay off your rings, put on your
soiled slippers, resume and mend your
rent gowns. We call on females to
practice economy, to cut off extrava-
gances, regulate your expenses-cur-
tail your wants, and show your affec-
tiOnate husbands, kind brothers and
fond fathers that you are ready to
hear a recital of their troubles, that
you will sympathize with them, and If
necessary resign luxuries, and do it
with a good grace, and have none the
less smiles for them for what they
would gladly avoid and what they are
not to blame for enduring.-From the

Dream Reveals Hiding Place.

William He'll of Brickerville, Pa, as
serts that dream revealed to him
the hiding place of can of gold, the
property of John Belleman, his prede-
cessor on the farm. Belleman did not
believe in banks, and secreted his
money. He died suddenly and did not
reveal even to his wife where he had
it secreted. Heil's story is that he
had dream that he was digging for
Belleman's money In the haymow of
the barn. He was about to give up
the task when the spirit of Belleman
appeared and commanded him to dig
on. The next morning he went to the
haymow, dug under the hay and found
a tin box. He took 1t to the home
of Mrs. Belleman, who counted the
contents, $1,000 In gold, and He'll was
handsomely rewarded.

Industrial Vermont.

The recent sale of the Howe Scale
company of Rutland to western cap
italists brings the welcome announce
ment that the working force of that
industry is to be doubled in the near
future. The sale of the Fairbanks
Scale company of St. Johnsbury to
outside capitalists short time be-
fore brought a somewhat similar
announcement concerning that COM
pany. These two items are specimens
of many others that are steadily ap.
pearing in the Vermont press con-
corning various industries in the
Green Mountain state. 1t used to
be said that Vermont was an agri-
cultural state, as distinguished from
others that were called manufacture
ing commonwealth, but the distinc-
ton can now no longer be made.
Vermont has diversified interests,
one is agriculture, another is manu-
featuring, another is quarrying, etc.
And this diversifcation is bound to
become more and more marked, and

Oldest Druggist i'm Vermont
Dead.

William H. Wheeler, the oldest
druggist in the state and one who
had been continuously in business in
Springfield for a period of Ga years,
departed this life shortly after one
o'clock Monday morning within a
few days of his seth birthday ami
versary. The weight of added years
had seemed to rest upon his should
ers with unusual lightness until
about a month ago when exhausted
strength yielded to the infrmities
of age and the inevitable decline
began.
Mr.. Wheeler was born in FitzwiI-
liam, N. H., Sept. 13, 1880, a son of
Henry H. and Tabitha (Wright)
Wheeler. He came to Springfield a
young man of % and commenced his
business career as q clerk in the
Charles Sabin drug store, of which
in three short years he had acquired
a part ownership, and in little
longer time was sole proprietor.

What to Do When

Foley Kidney Pills have done me

medicine" Chas. N. Fox. Himrod,

and pressure across the small of your
back. hurry to your druggist and get
relief through box of Foley Kidney
Pills. They will stop the cause of
that pain very quickly. spur the slug

able them to throw the poisons out of
the blood. They will get rid of pain

SUBSCRIPTION RATES

The Waterbury Record says:
Some pointed questions are being
asked relative to where all the road
money has been spent" This is
proper. But it is easy to learn just
where every cent is spent, especially
the permanent work. We believe
that every dollar put into permanent
highways is one of the best invest
ments the state can make, and the
increasing mileage of good roads in
Vermont is mark of progress in the
work for bigger and better Yer
mont" The question of what kind
of road is best, is one that must be
solved by actual test. We believe
gravel roads are the best for Ver-
mont and money invested in them is
not wasted. 1t may be other kinds
will prove better, but the real test
will never be made through fault
finding and doubling the honest eff
fort of those directly in charge of
the work.

ORKNEY ISLANDS IN HISTORY
Christian Of Denmark Put Them Up
for Security of Dowry When His
Daughter Married James III.

No other territory in the British en-
ptre has more tragic significance to
Englishmen today than the Orkney is
lands, off whose shores the most dis
| tinguished victim Of the world war,
Earl Kitchener, lost his life when the
cruiser Hampshire was sunk.
These islands, 80 in number, of
which only 80 are inhabited, are sep
arated from the mainland of Scotland
by the Pentland Firth, from six and
half to eight miles wide. They were
selected as England's North sea naval
base not only on account of their
proximity to the field Of operations,
but on account of their semi-isolation
and the advantage of the superb har-
Dor of Stromness, in the largest island
Of the group, Pomona, which has an
area of 200 square miles.
While the original inhabitants of
the islands were Picts, whose round
towers and chambered mounds are
among the interesting ruins Of this re-
gion, the Morse pirates secured q
fOOthold here during the early centuries
of the Christian era, and carried on
their depredations against all naviga-
tors of the North sea. In the last
quarter of the ninth century Harold
Haarfagr put an end to the rule Of
the pirates, and added both the Ork-
neys and the Shetland islands to Nor
ways domain. In 146S the Orkneys
came under the sway Of the Scottish
crown, Christian l OF Denmark giving
them as security for his daughters
dowry when she became the bride
of James III. AS the dowry was never
paid the islands have remained a part
Of Scotland's domain ever since.
The Orkneys, which are the Orcades
Of classic literature, furnished the set
ting for many Of the episodes In Sir
Walter SCOTS novel, 'The Pirate" the
character Of that romance being John
Cow, the notorious freebooter born in
Stromness and captured off the is
lands In 1925. Another literary as

especial interest to Americans centers

Returning Efficient Men to the
legislature,

The Vermont legislature would be
more efficient body if the custom
prevailed of sending able men to the
capital more than one term. IN
fortunately it is the general custom
to elect man town representative

out to give one of his ambitious
nelghbors his turn" J. Wesley
Miller, minister in Bethel ,hassbeen
elected for four terms of service, al
though he is a Democrat in town
with a large Republican majority.
Mr.. Miller will be candidate again
this year and will undoubtedly be
elected. The knowledge which he
has gained in the service will make
him one of the most useful men of
the House if he is returned again.
There are two Windham county
Legislators whose conscientious work
has been repeatedly recognized, and
their tenure of office probably has
not been equalled in the present
generation. We refer to Tyler

Protect Ponds and Lakes.

Commissioner Titcomb in his ad-
dress here Thursday evening called
attention to one matter that is of
vital interest to Vermont. This
point is the practice of raising and
lowering the level of lakes and
natural ponds to provide water sup
ply for mills or power plants. One
Of the greatest assets of the state of
Vermont is the beauty of it's lakes of
which there are several score of
varying size and wonderful beauty
in Vermont. To build dam at the
outlet or to deepen the channel so as
to draw water in time or drouth is
ruinous to the beauty of the lake or
pond. 1t leaves a fringe of dead
timber and mud around the shore.
Sometimes the water is back in the
woods and sometimes the bed of the
lake near the shore is exposed.
Spawning beds of the fish are ruined
and thousands of little fish along the
shore are destroyed. The fisherman
and campers should see that the mil
owners and power promoters do not
interfere with the level of natura
pond or lake. No one has right tC
change the level .of one of these
bodies of water except in two OF
three cases where the legislature
has foolishly and inexcusably chart

Vermont was once our political
barometer and the increase or de-
crease in the Republican vote very
accurately forecasted the national
election. Now Vermont gives place
to Maine, and while the Pine Tree
State was not always as accurate in
its forecast as the Green Mountain
State, for it occasionally followed
strange political gods such as the
Greenbacks, yet as a whole it has
been fairly good political pointer
and now is watched closely in its
September election. The Maine
election on Monday gave a strong
Republican victory and shows that
80 percent of the Progressive vote
has returned to the Republican party,
this gives an indication of an increas-
ing Republican vote all over the
country, and that under the strong
leadership of Roosevelt and Hughes
will poll a winning vote in Novem-
Der.
