The address was given by the Rev. G C.
Adams. who spoke on 1.-The Practice of
Immortality" The Rev. Mr.. Adams dwelt
first on the idea that i'm the practice of
immortality We realize here on earth the
conditions under which immortas live,
thereby fulfilling that petition in the Lord =
prayer 'Thy kingdom come, Thy will be
done on earth as 1t Is in heaven" Mr..
Adams went on to mention three princi-
pies OF life by which heavenly conditions
are brought to earth. namely. righteous
ness, JOY and peace.
| In the second place the practice of i'm
mortality would bring nearer to us those
Of our brothers who have departed. AS
we live here the life that we believe they
! live hereafter, the nearess OF the depart
ed Is more appreciated. In the third place
the practice of Immortality will help to
take away the sting of death from us. IN
living the immortal life now, death is but
a step into the larger life.
Very much was added to the service by

Advertising Helps n Merchant to Make
His Store "DiStinCt;yp.'

Nearly all merchants asDire to have
their stores "dfferent" Different just
to the extent that the ideals on which
they build differ from prevailing or COM
monplace ideals. Different as one man
is different from another--with marked
individualitos.
Not all merchants aspire to create the
biggest stores in n city That aspira-
ton is attanable for only one merchant
in any field. But the merchant with
ideals does aspire to create a store which

lie mind-whch shall perhaps, peciaize
on certain lines, and in these lines ct
merchandising become pre-omineut.
In realizing that aspiration the mer-
chant utilities newspaper advertising with
great effect. He makes his advertising
mirror his store" In his ADVERTISING
the store policies stand forth. the store
ideals are popularized-an understanding
of them is given to the people
The merchant realizes tina: his store is
ION trial. every day. That with every
transaction there is an opportunity to
win a friend, or to lose one. And that
in every store advertisement there is the
opportunity to win new friends-or to fail
and even to estrange old ones. The ad-
vertising Of Il store Is such an essential
feature of that store that it must be
aligned with the big tasks of every day.
Merchants who aspire to create indi-
vidualtics for their stores must keep in
mind that the advertising space used
must not give the impression that their
stores are unimportant, compared with
other stores-perhaps larger ones. on
general principles the small stores should
be advertised in space which will CORE
spond to their size and Importance. II
your store is half as big, and in no re-
spect n better store, than your COM
petitor's you should use at least half
as much space for your message as he
uses. II you aspire to grow nearer to
his size, use more than half the space
that he uses.
But, aside from general principles"
your use of large space for your store
message mirrors your belief in the inn
portance of that message, in the distinc-
tiveness and peculiar usefulness to the
people of your store service. Thus the
store that aspires to supremacy in spe-
cialized lines or whose policies have an
inherent appeal" will find t profitable
to plan its use of space accordingly,

APRIL wALTMASONED.

When April trips along the road with
violets in her hand, her smile is like n
golden dream that brightens all the land.
Her hair. unbound. floats on the breeze;
her voice Of tender mirth sweeps Joyous
~ across the fields, and wakes the sleep
ing earth. rainbow glimmers in her
smile, bright dewdrops crown her head,
and at her touch the trees bud out that
long have been as dead. She pauses by
a frozen stream and melts it with the
glow of love and youth and happy days,
and hearts that faltered slow, beat high
again with life and hope. All! breathlcsS-

by with violets in her hand
When April trips along the road tho
children seem to know before the rest
for childish eyes are quick and ours arc

and laughter light as foam, and lovingly
they ask her in and bid her welcome
home. And April, smiling, brings 20 them
a wealth Of treasure rare she brings them
pale anemones, and wild arbutus fair
She brings them sunlight warm and
bright, and though she scatters rain the
children know Aprl's tears are not the

EX-PRESIDENT TAFT IN BURLING-

President William H. Taft was one Of
the guests of honor in Burlington on
the occasion Of the Champlain tercen-
tenary celebration. and he delivered one
OF the eloquent addresses on the occa-
sion OF the great banquet held in con-
nection Herewith in the gymnasium Of
the University Of Vermont
Mr.. Taft has been heard In different
parts of the country since he retired
from the White House in the discussion
Of great variety of important sub
tects of national interest and concern
No problem is more important than that
of Military and Naval Defenses of the
United States" which Mr. Taft is to
discuss next Saturday evening, when he
will again appear at the gymnasium,
speaking under the auspices of the
University Young Mems Christian asso-
citation.
The problem Of national preparedness
is one In which the whole nation is con-
cerned. 1t promises to he one of the
most important, II not the paramount,
issue in the coming presidential cam
paign. The city as we'll as the univer-
sity and all concerned are fortunate in
the prospect Of visit from this dis
tinguished American and it goes with
out saying that many people from other
towns as we'll as Buringtonians will be
anxious to hear what Mr.. Taft has to
say on the most mooted question of the
day In national politics

the idea of the new law. however. was
TO enable the voters individually to ex-
press their preference for the benefit
OF delegates to the national convention,
ana THIS Is what the State committee
would like to see worked out In a it's
factory manner.
In this connection two methods of pro-
ceuure VIII naturally suggest them
selves One way would be to carry out
the recommendation of the omaha Bee
that the name of Hughes be written in
the blank space on the primary ballot
in every state having the presidential
primary In any form. The other practi-
cal way would be to provide pastors
bearing the name of the candidate
favored by the voters. What course will
eventually be adopted is a question.
The members Of the state committee
are also to be commended for provid-
ing for the election of delegates to the
state convention, on the date Of the
preferential primary on May 49, thus
enabling voters to perform both duties
on the same day. instead of on different
days The state convention is to he held
IN Montpelier on May &c. in accordance
with the provision that it must be
called within three weeks after the
presidential primary.
In view of the prevailing desire of
vermont for candidate, preference for
whom can not be expressed officially

mont presidential primary will be
marked from this time forth.

PREPARING FOR VERMONTS YER
DICT.

The republican voters of the State OF
Vermont are to have every opportunity |
the State committee can afford under
the new law to express their preference
for candidates for the presidency of the
United States. The Vermont committee,
made up OF one representative from
each Of the fourteen counties, have
shown their appreciation of the eternal
fitness of things by holding this to be
their duty and not trying to determine
the states choice for president as do
The State committee of New York.
The latter body, numbering $50, may
lay some claim to being n representa-
tive body. but even at that in Vermont
their attempt to anticipate the wishes
of the voters would be resented.
1t is to be borne in mind that the
presidential feature Of the new primary
law is not direct nomination measure
as is that part of the act dealing with
State, congressional, county and repre-
sentative nominations in the September
primary The presidential primary to
be held on May 16 represents a prefer
ential primary. which the people re-
5ected In the first referendum combined
with the retention of the State conven-
ton method Of selecting delegates to the
national convention. 1t is faulty pro-
vision, under conditions like those exist
NO hut ha of lo1 TO
take this along with the real direct
nomination provision embodied in the
referendum.
With no republican ready to become
candidate for the republican presiden-
tial nomination, and with no contest
over the democratic nomination. Sccre-
tary of State Guy W. Bailey was con-
fronted by a problem as to how to pro-
coed with the preparation of primary
ballots under the new law. Secretary
Bailey was clear in his own mind that
he could not print any candidates name
on the primary ballot under the law
without the assent of such candidate;
but in order to meet all the requirements
in the case he applied to Attorney
General Herbert G. Barber for an
opinion in the matter. In his reply
Attorney-General Barber says in part:
Replying to your inquiry I beg to
state that under section six Of said act
you would not be justified in printing
the name of any person on the presi-
genital primary ballot as candidate

practical question presents itself as to
now the voters OF Vermont can proceed
to express their presidential preference.
Under the law they can elect delegates,
as of old, to the State convention, which.
in turn will choose delegates to the

that these delegates to the State con-
ventlon are for Hughes or Roosevelt or
any other man they prefer for the presi-
