2-To try to measure the enjoyment
of others by our own
3-To expect uniformity of opinions
in this world.
Ito fail to make allowances for
mex perience.
5-To cndeavor to mould all dispo-
sitions alike.
6-Not to yield to unimportant tri-
files.
ITO look for perfection in our own
actions.
S-To worry ourselves and others
about what cannot be remedied.
Not to help everybody. where
ever however and whenever we can.
10-To consider anything impossible
that we cannot ourselves perform.
Ito believe only what our finite
minds can grasp.
12-Not to make allowances for the
weaknesses of others.
Ito estimate by some outside quail

The 14th mistake of life is to utter

Keeping Up vermont's Good Roads

Barre Tines
Vermont s state highway commits
sloner, Stoddard B. Bates, has the
right idea; he is going to preach road
maintenance during the coming wear
as never before in his career as 4 road
builder, county commissioner and head
OF the state s highway department.
Commissioner Bates asserts. and he is
backed up by all experience of him
self and countless others, that a road
begins to wear out just as soon as it
IS built and that constant attention
must be paid to a highway or the work
OF construction will be entirely wiped
out within a short time. 1t is a process
OF natural wear and tear. It cannot be
otherwise even though a stretch OF
highway should be subjected TO only
shTht traffic; the elements themselves
are constantly working to destroy
man creation along the line of road
building, and sooner or later the
smooth, even road surface will become
eroded and quilted. Then. on roads
which are much used, the traffic adds
its wear to the action of the elements
and quite rapidly the lighter surface
material becomes swept away. Holes
appear here and there; ruts develop in
wet weather; and wind takes its turn
in dry weather. The result is that q
fine highway becomes a rocky lane.
Right here in Barre we have noticed
this process of destruction going on in
the north end, where fine macadam
was laid few years ago. only to be
worn into a rocky road. with the sub
surfaeing materials protruding through
the lighter surface material. Now Com
missioner Bates idea is that these
strips of highway must be constantly
watched and that just as soon as holes
and depressions begin to appear thew
should be filled up without DELAY to
prevent the continued stress on those
particular points, lowered as they are
beneath the surface of the highway.
1t is an idea which is admirably car
ried out TO some extent in Vermont
and to a greater extent in New Hamp-
shire. where the system of road patrol
on the state highways is highly de-
veloped. In consequence New Hamp-
shire S state roads are kept up in first
class fashion. Vermont can do the
same by constant vigilance.

THE PROFIT OF DISSOLUTION.

Dissolution seems to have done the
Standard Oil company a world of
good. When this great corporation
was broken up by order of the United
States supreme court in 1911, its
stock was worth $675, 100000. Today.
according to the Wall Street Journal
the same stock, "unscrambled' for
statistical purposes by the Journal s
expert accounts, has a market value
of $2,025, 5000, 600. And this estimate
is regarded as extremely moderate.
The stock is thought to be actually
worth about $4,000 share instead of
the $l,700 allowed
In any event, the stock has trehled
in value since the great Standard Oil
company Of New jersey was shattered
into 81 separate corporations. to the
CONSERVATION of the world of big
business. And John d. Rockefeller is
worth about $250,000. 900 more since
the courts undid his life work.
Almost any big business would re-
joice in an ''attack' of that sort.
As a matter Of fact, fnanciers have
got over being scared ont of their
skins by applications of the Sherman
law. The tobacco trust was dissolved.
too, and has prospered since almost as
notably. It ism t on record that anv
of the various corporations broken in
to their constituent parts have suf-
fered therefrom.
There are two explanations given
for this fact. One IS that the dissolu
tions haven t really dissolved, that the
trusts are still as monopolistie as ever.
and are making their added profits bv
gouging the public more successfully
under the cloak of a hypocritical com
petition. The other is that the corpo-
rate divorces are genuine, and that the
Divorces actually make more money
than they did when united. Great cor
porations, it is argued, are really I'M
wieldy and inefficient, and the loss of
bulk and the need of competition have
given new force and efficiency to the
members that formerly comprised the
big trusts.

Earning and Investing.

would be putting that $4,000 into cir

That would be Of tremeu Jus good

Tho only trouble is. those with the
$4,000 bits Struggled away for safe
keeping -4y not be letting 20" Of
them and this may be said 10 have
been true Of a great part Of the south
east
one hundred men with $4,000 each,
who would be willing to invest it in
even the most conservative manner
would be a serum for this city that
would bring about amazing results.
Investors come from the outside. just
as thcy have come and are coming
from the outside to many OF the south
crn cities. civic organizations have
devoted their chief endcavors to at
tracing investors from the outside,
and it is noted all the way around
through the southern states that whcr
ever these investors are located that
they have invariably earned a good
rate of interest on their investment.
There are scores Of instances that
might be cited where outside capital
has been put into the land. into in
dustries and into variety Of things
and where this money is now raised
to a high earning power, whuc the
same or greater amounts Of capital
have been and are lying idle In the
banks of the same cities. The very
act that nome money is not being put

backs Of those organizations that are
making an effort TO develop the re
sources TO attract outsiders.
However, this situation is gradually
being overcome. 1t might me men
toned that the opportunities for in
yeatment in southern industries never
have been and never will be greater
than at this time The United States
has been thrown back upon its own re
sources and the south is logically stu
ated to supply a great amount Of these
resources
