The announcement that 4. F. Rob
erts has bought a controlling interest
in the National Automatic Machine
company and will devote his entire
time to developing the business along
lines that already have proven very
successful excites fully as much interest
among Brattleboro people as does news
of further transfer of mercantile real
estate. The immediate demand for addi-
tlonal stores and offices is not so great
as to make the announcement of new
buildings for these purposes the oeca-
sion for excitement, but there is a feel
ing that the town is very much in need
of further industrial development, and
on that account any happening which
gives hope in that direction is at once
the center Of sympathetic interest.

The crank is somebody we don t
agree with Every crank is operated
b. a self starter which works by com
pressed air and never has to be pump
ed up, which makes his conversation
tiresome to people who are accustomed
to think in the same channel from the
cradle to the grave.
The crank is nearly always the vie
tim Of some idea which has not struck
anybody else and is therefore about
as popular as Mexican in Texas. The
world is full of examples of earnest,
weIl-meaning citizens who have gone
along for years without entertaining
bright idea of any kind, only to be
impaled upon some fad of the day and
become as noisy as a windmill. Some
of our strongest-l unged enemies of the
tobacco habit are men who consumed
enough pure Havana cigars to pave
the Lincoln highway and who never
swore off until their wives inserted
something into their coffee which
caused them deep remorse.
The crank Is never satisfied Will

it viii not vote to do this. he states he
will build elsewhere where he can secure
exemption. This exemption which is
asked for will extend only to the new
building erected. The exemption which
was voted on the present tannerv in
1911 expires in 1921.
1t is a good thing for business in
Bethel that the tannery is prosperous
for with the work in the stonesheds en-
tirely suspended and with a lull in the
tanning business it would be very dull
in Bethel. If the Woodbury. company
resume work and throw three to four
hundred men into the sheds this, with
two hundred and fifty men at work in
the tannery, would send wave of pros
perity over Bethel not known since the
shoeshop times, if ever.

This has resulted in a great scarcity
Of bass singers who are willing TO sing
for nothing and furnish their own mu-
sic. The crank does not hesitate to in
form the minister that his Sunday
evening sermon would have been more
of success if it had contained less
language and more thought, and if
there is Ladies Aid supper he will
be heard to complain OF the texture
Of the oyster soup without allowing
his remarks to interfere with his APP
petite.
The crank is great aid and solace
to Congress, which he bombards with
petitions on every subject ever invent
ed, ranging from free dent stry for
the Fiipinos to more clothes on the
| Goddess of Liberty. One well-oiled, de
termined crank who has plenty OF
| leisure time can stir up more trouble
| for his congressman than nine candi
| dates for internal revenue collector
| Every congressman who has been il
Washington for any length of tin,
becomes stoop-shouldered lodging tn
| petitions fired AT him from every poin
of the compass by people who are il
favor of reform in fifteen minutes.
We will be more patient with tn
crank if we remember that all of Tn
great inventions of all ages have ha
! their start in his dome.

President Wilson has filed his as,
sent with Secretary of State Bailey
to the use of his name as a candidate
at the presidential primary to be held
in Vermont May IS. Tuesday, April
%, is the last day provided by the
law for placing names on the presi-
Dental primary ballot. It is entirely
probable that Mr.. Wilson s will be
the only name on the ballot Republi-
cans of this state, Judging from our
observation, are for Hughes first and
Roosevelt next, but neither of these
gentlemen have allowed the use of
their names in other states. 1t will
evidently be up to Republicans to
write in the name of their choice
when the presidential primary vote is
taken.

The opening of the trout fishing sea
son in Bennington and vicinity was
the most successful in years. The
Banner says the lesson is as plain as
(" boil on the minister s nose Trout
fishing has been restored in that sec
ton by consistent stocking and per-
sistent good faith and honesty in liv-
ing up to the law. The lesson is one
that ought to be learned here in Wind
ham county. We ought to have a
county fish and game association in
which every town in the county is
strongly represented. We Will get
more small trout than ever before from
the rearing station in Vernon, but in
addition to what the state commissions
er 5 Office is doing there ought to be
united and systematic effort right here
at home to keep the brooks we'll stock
ed and to see that the fishing laws are
enforced.

NJ. Fletcher of Cavendish will oppose
Senator Page for reelection. The St.
Adams Messenger and a few other
Vermont papers fairly rave over such
a move But Mr Fletcher has devel-
oped a way of doing things just as he
deems prudent, despite the Messenger
and some other ewspapers.-Bartor
Monitor.
Yes, and in the majority of in
stances subsequent events have shown
that Mr.. Fletcher judgment was
fully as good as that of the editors
who so noisily attacked him. As to the
senatorship it isn't going to be de
cided by a few groups of politicians
this year.

HERE'S WHAT ONE WOMAN DID:

Gentlemen are city people who
own a farm, the management of which
has devolved upon me, a woman, for
the last two years.
We sell cream, and having calf we
did not want TO raise, offered 1t for
sale, but the only bid was $3.50. That
seemed so little that / decided to risk
an experiment with calf meal.
We use the cold water separator SO
the skinned milk was also half water,
therefore used that TO scald the meal as
well as To thin it. About three weeks
later another calf was born so he also
was fed that way. My neighbors as
surcd me il would never get the market
price. that ! could not possibly fatten
them on calf meal and would not get
more than $4,000 for the two. One

Reforesting Worcester State Forest
Tracts

The state forestry department has
received from c. c. Putnam and
Ralph Putnam, a deed of 300 acres i'll
the town of Worcester adjoining the
area given by them to the state last
year. The department will exchange
nursery stock, of which there is sur
plus in the state nursery, for this land.
In this way the land is acquired with
out direct expense to the state and
more nursery stock is planted than
would be otherwise. This has now be
come the second largest state forest,
with an area of l40 acres. The Mans
field forest, with an area of 5000 acres,
is the largest owned by the state The
forestry department have completed
plans for planting this spring $50, 900
trees, mostly Norway spruce, on certain
portions of this Worcester tract having
suitable soil. A camp will be estab-
lished as soon as the season is far
enough advanced, and about 20 men win
be engaged in this reforestation work.

While perhaps not generally known,
it is nevertheless a fact that the bust
ness of the National Automatic Ma
chine company has increased greatly
during the past six or eight months by
reason of sub-eontracts from large con
Germs with war orders on their hands.
1t is in this direction, rather than in
the development of the machine for
which the concern is named, that Mr..
Roberts intends to devote his immc-
diate energies, and with. the enlarged
quarters to be placed at his disposal

TO THOSE WHO
BORROW OF OR
DEPOSIT IN
BANKS

The first element of safety in
conducting Banks is sound bust
ness judgment in placing loans.
A man may be good lawyer, a
good physician, good teacher
and yet be entirely unreliable and
unsafe as a Bank director.
The President Of Bank ought
70 be man Of ripe experience, OF
unerring judgment as to values and
credits and Of naturally conserv-
alive makeup or mental tendency
But that is not all. He should
be courteous and painstaking, al
ways ready and willing to assist
the borrower to bring his securities
into such shape that he can be &c
commodated without either viola
ton of law or importing the
Banks safety.
| No Banks ever try harder to
take care of those who come to
them for banking accommodations
than the two Hyde Park Banks.
| If the security or names offered
are good and comply with the re-
quirements Of law and banking
rules the managers Of the Hyde
Park Banks always endeavor 10
provide the funds.
Persons who wish to borrow are
. assured not only of courteous
treatment but OF the very best eff
+ forts OF the managers of these two
h Banks to make negotiations 10,
I loans successful
The Banks solicit applications
. from those who wish to borrow
r and they will endeavor to see to
n il that those who apply for loans
are not turned empty away, if their
! paper is, or can be made, Lawful
:, and good
J. Remember that the Hyde Park
Banks regard themselves as proper
Intermediates between those who
IS wish to borrow and those who
have money to loan They exist to
in serve the public.
or The Hyde Park Banks are never
to short of money to Vermont appli-
icants for loans.
: During the two panics through
which they have passed, those OF
50 1898 and 1907, they not only met
ID the demands of every depositor
.e, who wished TO withdraw his mon
u ey without a moment'e notice, but
they had money in abundance to
loan to every Vermonter who wish
: ed to borrow and was able to offer
lawful paper.
