one of the principal villages in Els
sex county and this section of the
state. There are numerous business
places in the village, all hustling to
take care of present patrons and
reaching out with never ceasing
activity to gain more. Of the bust
ness activity in this village the
HERALD is an integral part. Pub
fishing country newspaper is de-
cidedly business proposition and
can be continued only on its success
as such. 1t may have all the es-
sentials of live and we'll accepted
news sheet, but without a balance
on the income side of the ledger it
can no more continue to do bust
ness than the grocer, the butcher or
any other business undertaking.
The stock in trade of a newspaper is
publicity. This it has to sell the
same as dealers sell their goods. 1t
is the aim of all country newspapers
to make their columns interesting,
giving the local happenings first
place, making it a welcome weekly
visitor. A certain part of the paper
must be given to the publicity of
the merchants, artisans, professions,
and the numerous other business
enterprises that go to make the in
dustrial life of the community. The
newspaper is the industrial chart of
of its community and is searched by
the people in supplying the needs
and comforts of life. 1t is carefully
scrutinized by outsiders in estimat-
ing the business activity of the vii
lage and its individual members.
No one doing business can afford to
lose the returns that surely will fol-
low a constant place in the publicity
columns of the local paper. The
HERALD is seeking business the
same as any other business enter
prise, and offers it's advertising space
for sale knowing that profitable re-
turns will surely follow those who
persistently use its columns to make
public the constantly changing goods
they offer their patrons. We have
the goods in the line of publicity,
and the business firms of Island
Pond need this the same as the en-
terprising business men of other
live communities do in making a
success of their various industrial
efforts. The HERALD, like every
other newspaper, needs the local
patronage, and the larger and more
constant its patrons the greater will
be its work in pointing new patrons
this way and the farther it can
reach out in making public one of
the prettiest, most enterprising and
ideal villages in Vermont. Will you
help us keep Island Pond on the map?
Under the primary law all the
Republican candidates for county
senators in Chittenden county are
from Burlington. The rest of the
county did not have a look-in on
their selection. Chittenden county
has a population of 42,447 and the
city of Burlington a population Of
20,468, and when it comes to votes
Burlington can nearly get what it
wants. However, we believe the
city has no desire to gobble up these
nominations, and the Free Press
strongly urged one of the Burling-
ton candidates to reign and permit
a candidate from outside the city to
be placed on the election ballot
The candidate in question refused to
resign and all the Republican sena-
tors nominated are now from Burl-
ington. This naturally will make
the rest of the county feel sore"
and cause opposition to the primary
law.
There is urgent need Of a law
making all vehicles carry lights at
night. Automobiles are made to do
this and there is need that all wagons
and teams be lighted for the safety
of all who travel the highways. A
team carrying no light can see an
auto but the auto driver cannot see
the team until too close to pass in
safety. 1t is for the team owners
protection fully as much as for the
autoist that they be lighted. This
law will cause no great expense or
trouble to owners of teams and will
