There is the greatest practical benefit
In making a few failures in life. You

people in the world who are just as
clever as you are and you very
soon find out If you have not found it
out before, that patience and tenacity
of purpose are worth more than twice
their weight in cleverness.-Huxley.

Vermont Farms Pay.

Those state papers that recently
spoke OF the results that Almost j.
Eaton had obtained on a abandoned
Vermont farm" in the past twenty
years. made the mistake of locating
the property in Caledonia county in
stead of Windsor The farm is two
miles from South Royalton, not
South Ryegate, and Mr.. Eaton repre-
scented Royalton in the legislature two
years ago
That he has made success of farm
ing, the illustrated article printed IN
this paper two years ago fully proved.
That article proved that there was
opportunity awaiting young people on
Vermont farms just as great as in the
golden (?) west, and a mighty sight
moro certain.
Mr. Eaton could barely raise enough
the first year on this farm to support
himself and wife and had to work cut
to earn money enough for clothing.
Last year he sold $4,000 in crops
from that same farm.
Better still, he has raised as fine a
family OF boys and girls as there is to
be found in VeImont.-Morrisville

There is increasing evidence that
the farmers meetings in Vermont are
making their impress upon the agri-
cultural interests OF the state. Not
only is there more interest manifest
ed by those most vitality concerned
but the scope of the meetings is wild
ening. The discussions are no longer
limited to the planting and tilling of
the soil and the harvesting of crops,
but other features of which the farm
er must acquire knowledge to obtain
the best results and TO round out his
life are being incorporated into the
programs. For instance, take the
meeting that Is to be held al Rich
mend on the DIST by the Richmond
Cooperative Farmers assocition. The
list of speakers in itself is evidence
that the farmers of Vermont are be-
ginning to delve into some of the
things which were closed books to
their fathers. 1t includes such men
as the present governor who made an
exceptional reputation as road
builder before he became the states
chief executive Charles J. Brand,

mont association Willes n. Cady,
master OF the state Grange.
Such diversified program gives one
the impression that farming is no
longer n mere occupation but that it
is rapidly becoming business and
profession.

Friday, November II, 1916.

We continue to retain some OF our
pioneer characteristics, one might al
most say Instincts, here in Vermont
A Stowe man who stole traps was
last week sentenced to three and one
half months in the house OF correc-
ton. AS the case was only briefly re-
ported in the newspapers. the actual
value OF the stolen property is not
known. IT, however, il were possible
to ascertain The worth Of the traps
appropriated we are convinced that it
would not be difficult TO find on the
court records of almost any ccm-
munity case OF petty thieving in
which the losses to the owners were
greater and in which the culprits es-
capped with lighter punishments. In
the days OF the early settlers trap
stealing was regarded If not so con
sidered by statute, to be one Of the
most despicable offences on - cal
endar The pioneer depended upon
his traps TO a consid orable extent TO
furnish material for winter clothing
and the man who deprived him of
these utensils was given a low rating
in the scale OF humanity. Although
trapping has now become purely
commercial feature o. modern times
and has lost the vital relation it once
bore TO human existence in this
rigorous cline. the trap thief has not
risen any higher in the estimation of
his fellow man.

The production OF David Garricll" In

eral months. but has not been made pub

OF its Limitation was evident among
other producers. Not even the members
Of the New York offices of the company
were aware of the fact that the staging of
this famous subject was under way at the
studios.
In the title role Of the Palas Pictures
version, Dustin Farnuni is presented I'm n
part for which lie Is well suited. as will
be realized oy the many thousands who
are familiar with this subject. The chief
part of David Garrick" has proved irre-
sstibly attractive to many successors OF
the elder Sothern, and only several weeks
ago his famous son opened IN n revival Of
the celebrated play with great success ut
the DOoth Theatre, New lork city. Tho
success of this comedy H. England has
more than been duplicated here. its inl-
tia appearance in this country being pre-
scented with George c. BonifaCe, at the

peatedly produced here starring such
famous actors as Lawrence Barrett, Sir

he did not appear In the role created by

truth the evangelist cndeavored to instil

Forty-six men and women professed
conversion. Among the converts were en-

of the after service was that most of the
"trail-hitters' walked down the aisles in
pairs. In several cases the pcnitents were
