him is. and good books for any bent
of mind are easily obtainable So Good
Book Week should bring to many a
better opportunity to develop along
the lines they desire. More reading
should not be its only object but bet
ter and more useful reading
Perhaps it would be proper to con-
slider at this time some features of
books. There was a period when a
book did not aim at the real but rath-
er at the ideal The story did not at
tempt to tell what actually happened
but what should happen. sin sufficient
~ punished and virtue properly re-
warded. Today realism is the aim and
all the evils, accidents and debastng
influences of life are pictured in de-
tail. We dislike tho modern style. 1t
reduces the book to the level of a mere
chronical and robs it of its power to
inspire, purify and elevate We should
be pleased if one result of Good Book
Week was the awakening of desire
for moro through reading Of theideal
and a more careful selection of realis-
tic books for reading in Vermont

Old Locations and Trade

There are always some merchants
who think they can win out as a re-
suit of the favorable location of their
store They arc so situated that an
unusual number of people pass by.
Also they have held the same position
for many years and they think the
people are used to finding their way
inside.
But if they would count the num-
Der OF people who pass and those who
enter. they would be surprised TO sec
how small a proportion they get. They
need to do something else besides sit
ting down passively by the side OF
the thoroughfaro
Also it is surprising how easily a
store in an unfavorable place can gel
business by wise publicity. People
like to go out. Of their way IL thereof
they get an advantage in buying
They boast TO each other Of the ncs,
place they have found where goods
can be bought to better advantage
1t only takes a little OF tho worth
while advertising, just a few an
nouneements Of bargains. just a little
giving the impression Of hustle to di-
vert the trade current The Land

Good Book Week

This is Good Book Week" in the
State of Vermont, Ministers have been
appealed to preach a sermon on good
books, librarians are trying to get
good books into the hands of the pat
rons of Libraries and teachers and
others in touch with the public are
expected to urge more use of good
books by the people in general. The
purpose is a worthy one and if it is
properly carried out will be of much
benefit.
The human mind is capable of de-
velopment the same as muscle, plant
or other organisms. Like these other
things exercise is the most potent
agent in its development. The meth
cd of exercise is therefore important
The exercise of the mind on things of
a temporary nature develops a tenn
porary mind, a mind pleased with the
spectacular, sensational and fitting
subjects. A retentive mind is the pro-
duct of careful and thorough study.
a pure mind follows pure thoughts
and perusaI of pure books. and so on.
1t follows that the reading should
be determined by the kind of mind you
wish to develop in yourself or others.
When the object is determined one

Two attorneys, Collins NJ. Graves OF
Bennington and Thomas c. Cheney of

of December at Montpelier for the
purpose of revising any bills that may
be sent by a member of the incom-
ing legislature for introduction to that
body. 1t will be interesting to know
at the end of the month just how
many measures have been received by
that committee to act upon. We have
always thought it would be cheaper
for the state to have the members Of
the legislature attend to all matters
coming before it, the same as they did
for more than a hundred years when
the legislative expenses were far be-

SALMON RIVER REPORT.

cording to data given the Times bZ(
G. M. Hall, manager of the SalmoE
river canal company, Monday. THIS
represents an available storage sup
ply of $40 acre feet.
The run-off for the month OF Febru-
airy as shown by the automatic reg
ster at the head of the reservoir is
1850 acre feet The total gain for the
month is $3.50 acre feet. The appar-
ent Discrepancy between the run-otf
and the gain is probably accounted for
by the flow of small creeks joining
the Salmon river below the gaging
station. The gain for the week ending
