find their conditions materially bettered,
but eventually prosperity moves along
to some other place and they find them

the long run prosperity eVens up through

CHASING GOLDEN VISIONS


A Vermont man writing home from
California asserts that since the close of
the two great expositions on the Pacific
coast the hubble has burst" that is,
those people who went to California from
other states, chiefly states in the East
with a view to getting employment dur
ing the rush times of the fairs, are on
their uppers now and are glad to get
merely enough on which to 1--we. In
deed, some of them could not live were
# not for the handouts which they get
from the restaurants in some of the
larger cities, these handouts consisting
Of the food which had been rejected at
the tables The Vermont man describes
the fierce fights among the stranded un-
fortunates for these scraps Of food, and
he goes on to tell how a great many peo-
pie would gladly return to their homes
had they the price of the TRANSFORMATION.
There is no doubt that settled Califor-
uians are getting along comfortably de-
spite the fact that the coast is experienc-
ing none too brisk times, but the people
who went there without capital and with,
ont a return ticket in their pockets are
hard put to 1t to gain q sustenance.

DESTRUCTION OF TIMBER.

Some of the splendid old forests in Eng

for timber for pit props and other pur-
poses growing out OF the war demands.
Fifteen hundred Canadian bush-men
have arrived in England for the purpose
of telling these trees. many Of them in
historic sections owing to the lack Of
ships and the excessive freight rates it
has been impossible to import timber. and
to meet the necessities Of war famous
woodlands are to lie leveled.
Artillery fire has destroyed much stand-
ing timber in France and Belgium, and
some of the best timber-forests in Canada
to-day are being ruined by fire
The bush fires start in Canada through
the Carelessness of camping parties or
from sparks from locomotives where rail-
ways traverse forest sections It Is said
that most of the Canadian forest fires

VERMONT SCHOOL PROBLEMS.

state Superintendent of Education Hile-

many of the rural school problems. The
new commissioner impresses MS that he
is believer in letting the Vermont home
do it's part toward educating the sons and
daughters, and in so doing he has paid
distinct compliment to the mothers and
fathers residing In rural homes
We have thought for some time that
some mot alb of this vocational training
was slightly far fetched. II is little wond-

how useless it Is in many cases to teach
a Vermont girl the art of cooking In our
public schools. The average home has n
