A Question For Fletcher

In this issue will be found political
advertisement by Sen c. S. Page explain
ing his vote on the rural credits BILL Mr..
Page mentions feature of the bill, the
exemption of rural bank notes or bonds
from taxation, that was not generally
known in Vermont. 1t is probably true
that the rural credits law will not allow
the farmers of Vermont to secure money
any cheaper than today, and if it should
remove considerable Vermont capital
from taxation it would increase the rate
of taxation upon all other real property.
1t that case it would be detriment to
Yer monters. 1t looks as though Sen.
Page had caught Mr.. Fletcher on this
matter. Either Mr.. Fletcher was igno-
rant of the exemption feature or else he
favors the exemption of money from tax
alton and the placing of the tax burden
on other property. 1t is Mr.. Fletcher S

SECRET OF A LONG LIFE

You sometimes see a woman whose
old age is as exquisite as was the per-
feet bloom of her youth. You wonder
how this came about. Here are some
Of the reasons:
She knew how to forget disagreeable
things.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.
She mastered the art of saying pleas
ant things.
She made whatever work that came
to her congenial.
She kept her nerves well in hand and
inflicted them on no one.
She relieved the miserable and SYM
pathized with the sorrowful.
She retained her illusions and did
not believe all the world wicked and
unkind.
She never forgot that kind words
and smile cost nothing, but are price
less treasures to the discouraged.
She did unto others as she would be
done by, and now that old age has
come to her and there is a halo of
white hair about her head, she is loved
and considered. This is the secret Of
a long life and a happy one.-Ex-
