PASSING OF THE LOG DRIVE.
Vermont Phoenix.

The passing of the log drive marks
a chapter in Connecticut river history.
Two factors have contributed to the
end of a custom followed more than
half century. The building of power
plants has added to the expense
of floating the logs to their destina-
ton, and the logs have interfered
with the rights of motor boat owners.
Hereafter the logs will be sawed into
marketable lumber near the big for
ests around the headquarters of the
Connecticut and will be shipped from
various points by rail Years ago the
logs went as far south as Hartford,
which at that time was the New
England center of the lumber industry.
In recent years the logs have been
stopped at Mt. Tom, short distance
below Northampton. The change will
mean a blow to the Meadow city,
where 200 or more men are employed in
the big saw mills.

EXPENSIVE ADVERTISING
Rnndolnh Hcrnld and Now.

Randolph Herald and News.
Readers speculate as to the cost OF
page ads in these big city papers. Five
thousand dollars is the contract price
for one page, one insertion, in the
Saturday Evening Post, to be used by
the manufacturers of Barre granite in
pushing that product, That's big money,
compared with anything paid anybody
in Vermont, but the Saturday Evening
Post has a circulation that warrants it..
The enterprise shown by Barre pro-
ducers in making the venture deserves
favorable comment. Publicity's the
thing.

ADVERTISE VERMONT PRODUCTS.
Orleans County Monitor.

The proposal of the slate men to
advertise Vermont slate is commend
able and has in it an idea worthy Of
consideration by others who have a
common interest in the marketing of a
given product For instance Vermont
maple sugar should be advertised and
known from one end of the country to
the other as the purest, cheapest and
most healthfu sweet in America.
What an opportunity for the Vermont
Sugar Makers association to do some
lasting and highly profitable work.
Along the same line Of thinking, one
can see increased sales and increased
profits for Vermont apples, Vermont
granite and score of Green Mountain
products. Vermont needs organiza-
ton

CALAMITY AVERTED,

There is no good reason why the board
of education should not have taken the
people of Vermont into their confidence
and stated that they were practically
agreed at one time upon the selection of
President John NJ. Thomas of Middle
bury College as Vermont $ commissioner
of education. But for the objection of
some of the authorities the announce
ment of the actual selection of Presi-

have been announced without previous

PRINTING PAPER SOARING HIGH,
Brattlcboro Rcformer,

BfhtttDoio N'lolN'ls
The price of white paper has gone up 20
to 30 percent. In many cases the in
crease is greater than that, and some
grades of paper are practically out of the
market at any price, Printing inks, es'
pecially colored inks, are soaring in
price. High prices are not confined to
any particular trade or line Of business.
The tendency is upward everywhere,
The shoe dealers tell us that shoes will
cost more, and the hardware dealer
knows that certain lines in his business
are getting beyond control. The dry
goods dealers and the clothing merchants
find it difficult to keep stocked up on
certain lines, while the drug trade has
had more trouble than any other bust
ness ever since the war started. The
American people, VIGOROUSLY eXtrava-
CANT, are learning to be thrifty. One
of the bright sides of the situation is
that labor is we'll employed at good
prices, and the people generally face
the future high Of heart and resolute OF
faith

THE LOCAL CORRESPONDENT

st, J0hnsbury NHlcuonl"Ii
We take this occasion to express one
thought on the work of the local cor
respondent of the country newspaper.
He or she writes all the printed record
of at least eighty per cent of the resi-
dents of their community, Very small
is the number of people in these small
communities whose names are printed in
anything but the local paper. Thus
these correspondents are local historians
and with them lies the question of how
much of the community history shall be
preserved in printed form. In this
respect their work has dignity that
should not be degraded or ignored by
their fellow toWnsmen.

VALUABLE SOAP BERRY TREE
Product Of Ecuador Has Remarkable
Qualities, Besides Its Worth as
Cleanser Of the Skin.

Tho jaboncello. or soap berry tree
tSapindus saponaria), grows in the
humid parts Of western Ecuador. 1t
attains height of about fifty feet
and has wide-spreading branches and
immense quantities of fruit Of the size
and shape of cherries.
The nearly transparent yellowish
skin and pulp surrounding the round
black seeds are so saponaceous as to
be used instead of soap by many peo
PIE of Ecuador, being equivalent tc
more than fifty times their weight OF
that material.
The hard, polished seeds have beer
used extensively in Spain and England
for waistcoat buttons, for they ART
very durable and seldom break. They
re used also as beads.
Although considerable quantities OF
the berry are utilized locally, tens O,
them rot on the ground every year
there being as yet little foreign de
mand for them. Since they contain q
large percentage of saponin, they
should be of value in the manufacture
Of soap.
