BARTON ACADEMY %, CRAFTS
BURY 2.

With changed lineup, Barton acad-
emy played the best ball they have
shown this season, decisively defeating
Craftsbury % to 2 in Saturdays game
at Roaring Brook Park. Emerson,
pitching his first game for the home
team, struck out IA. walked six and al
lowed only four hits. Wallace Abbott
caught strong game and Parker was
back on first base after having been
out of the game because of sickness.
At no time was the outcome of the
game in doubt and the game was more
interesting to watch than the one-sided
score would indicate. The alI-around
work of the Barton boys and the play
ing of Emerson,W w. Abbott and Cutler
were features of the game In the
fourth inning Craftsbury had three
men on bases with none out and
seemed likely to score but fast double
play took away all chances. There
was good attendance at the game.

ures that they enjoy. He showed
that they are not a helpless class of
people but are able to engage in trades,
professions and business successfully.
He showed that success or failure is
not determined by sight or By the lack
of it where the individual possesses
a sufficient amount of grit and good
sense. He gave an exhibition of touch
reading and told of many wonderful
things that the blind are able to do.
He held the close attention of an ap-
preciative audience for more than an
hour No one having an opportunity
should fail to hear Mr.. Farman deliver
this intensely interesting lecture. He
was master both of himself and his au-
dience.

Lecture by Blind Chaplain.

Rev. M. w. Farman of Westfeld,
chaplain of the Vermont senate, gave
lecture before an open session of
Crystal Lake grange on Friday evening,
May 5. The subj ject of the lecture was
Light in Darkness. Mr.. Farman is
veteran speaker. having been on the
public platform for more than quar-
ter of a century. He portrayed the
darkness which envelopes the blind and
also the light which ilumines their
lives. AS he is totally blind, he spoke
from personal experience. This was
the first time that he ever spoke in
public on this subject. He showed that
blindness is condition of comparative
ly minor consequence, which does not
really reach down to the fundamentals
of life. He told not only the depriva-
tions of the blind but also of the pleas.

WHAT Dc We GET:

According to q press dispatch
from Washington congress, the
State government, counties and
townships will spend S250,000
900 year for the next five years
on the Improvement and main
tenance of the roads of the
country.
That statement in itself is of
absorbing interest to every citi-
zen Of these United States.
But a question of still more
vital interest to US locally and
personally is, How much do
we get::"
The people Of our community
of course can decide what we
ourselves are to expend IN good
roads, but when it comes to the
expenditure by the federal and
State governments We are much
of the opinion that the early
bird will get the biggest worm.
In other and palmer words,
the federal government allots a
certain amount of money to each
State for improving its roads.
Then comes the qestion of where
and how that money is to be
spent.
We do not know just what pol
icy wilt be pursued in this State
but we do know that it will be
clearly to our INTEREST," get out
in force and hustle for a good
slice Of this amount for road i'm
provement in our own territory.
The Lord knows we need road
improvement, but He will not
aid US in the getting if we are
not alive to our own opporSuni-
ties.
Everybody hereaboutS wants
good roads and is quite willing
to profit personally from their
construction. But how many,
.aink you, are willing to devote
the necessary time and energy
to securing the allotment to
which we are entitled?
How much do we get. Or,
better still. do we get anything:

EEADWORK IN THE SHADE.

When the scorching sun Of sum
mer days sends US scampering
for the shade we think only OF
the comfort that is to greet US
when we reach the goal.
Our brains relax, our minds
become drowsy, and the hours
pass into history without any
thing of value being accomplish
ed.
And that is where we fail to
grasp one of our golden oppor-
tunities where oppor t u n i t y
passes US by without a bechon-
ing hand from US.
We reach the shade and if
feels good. and our thoughts re-
fuse to wander into other and
more profitable fields. We are
killing time, and time once dead
is never revived.
The relaxation we need and
should have, but the hours spent
in the shade might be turned tc
good advantage by devotlng al
least a portion of the time to the
working out of some of the many
complex problems of business
that present themselves in the
journey Of life.
When we are at work oul
minds should be centered wholly
upon that work if it is to be sue
cessfully accomplished. There
is no room for other thought or
action. But while in the shade
in the summer time there is
abundant opportunity for devils
ing ways and means of putting
the coming hours to more prof.
table use.
He who wastes his time squan
ders the greatest substance OF
life, but the man who devotes
his idle moments to planning fol
the busy ones to come IS like ur
to the honey bee that hoards
his sustenance against the day
