First, work: for society never bene-

Second, save; for no good is accom-

thriftless.
Third, keep Well; for every person in
poor health is a liability to the world
at large.
Fourth, serve; for only by enlistina
in the army of the common herd can
YOU translate your good will into ac-

abreast Of the times-boostinp GOOD
causes and swatting evil-backing good
public servants and letting the others
know that they've got to be good.

A Beautiful Scenic Route.
(Keene. \. H.. SentineIN

tkeene, \. H., Sentinel.)
In recent issue of the Brattleboro
Reformer that paper SAYS, cditoriallv:
The improvements that have been
made the past season on the Brattle-
Bennington highway. called the
Molly Stark trail, are interesting in
tluentlal men of southern New Hamp-
shire in proposition to improve still
further the road between Brattleboro
and kecne with n view to making it
one link Of a thoroughfare that shall
extend from the New York line to the
Atlantic ocean. The road from Bon
nlngton westward to Troy has already
been greatly improved, and it is ex-
perted that next season viii see more
traffic then ever along this route from
New York TO the White mountains.
Scenicallv, the Brattleboro- Bennincron
section Is the equal Of any in this part
ct New England and the improvements
It has undergone the past season should
make II strong rival OF the more wide
" known but no more beautiful Mo
hawk trail, which parallels It to the
southwark. 1t is to be hoped that the
New Hampshire men will be success
tul in their plan.
The New York end of this line is n
Troy, from which place it crosses Yer
mcnt through Bennington WILMINGTON
end HTattltb bone, entering New Haup-
shire at Chesterfield (Spofford) and
proceeding east to Portsmouth and the
Atlantic coast or north to the White
mountains. After entering New. TTamp-
shire the Molly Stark trail becomes
the Great Green way, as il is often
named, in its course across the country
and the state, or strikes the West Side
road running to the mountains.
Going through Vermont, the road
needs considerable Improvement. The
Wilmington road has not had a very
good reputation, being billy and rough.
The road from Brattleboro to Keene
Is excellent and after leaving Kecne
IS being improved by the state in the
direction IT Portsmouth.
If Vermont makes the highway from
l}rattleboro to Troy a state road a
very important link in the route from
New York to the sea or mountains j.
provided. In crossing New Hampshire
not much new legislation is necessary.
Authorization as a state highway viii
be required with the recommending
lie one entering central New York
from New Hampshire over the high
way. the improved road across Yer
mont will be an especial convenience.
To tourists from New York and other
states the road across Vermont aud
New Hampshire viii open up one of
the finest scenic routes in New Eng
land. From the high levels. the pic
turcsquc lakes and streams and fields
and villages give a varied scenery that
IS not excellcd anywhere. It shows
New England at its best. It deserves
a place on the map. II will serve
strangers by pointing out what tho
residents of this section already know.
