less than 10 inches in diameter; and
I hemlock and hardwoods less than Is
inches, tall trees to be measured at

close. The legal arrangements for the
purchase were made by States Attor-
ney Maurice of Lamoile County
From forestry standpoint the pur-
chase Of this large area at reason
able price, with fairly good stand Of
growing trees, makes this by far the
finest in the State. Markets for lum-
bor in Stowe and Underhil are bound
10 improve and there can be no ques-
tion but what the purchase will prove
a good investment to the State in
future years.
Governor Gates, who has been in
favor Of this purchase since it was
first called to his attention, is par
ticularly interested because of It's
scenic aspects. On the north the tract
crosses the Smuggler's Notch Road,
which the Governor hopes to develop
as one of the chief attractions of .he
State. II is unsurpassed for beauty by
anything in New England Farther
south the Nebraska Notch crosses the !
State forest. BY development Of
roads through these two notches a
splendid circuit would be thrown open
to the automobilist. State Forester
Hawes believes tina. the demonstra-
tion of practical forestry principles in
a section which will be so widely Wis
tied cannot fail to produce good re-
suits throughout the State.
In still another way this large state
forest will be beneficial. This is in
the protection Of the streams. Several
large brooks rise in this forest and are
important tributaries of the Winocski
and Lamoille rivers. The waterfalls
on the forest are numerous and ex-
ceedinly picturesque.
II should be mentioned that the
summit of Mount Mansfield is not in
rluded in the purchase, since that be-
Iongs TO the University of Vermont
through gif. dating back to 1859.
These purchases are made possible
through an appropriation made to the
Forestry Department by the General
Assembly of 1912.

HUGHES PENETRATING VIEW

The address of Justice Hughes be-
fore the New York Bar Association
will be memorable as searching an
alysis of the conditions of govern
ment--of legislation, administration
and judicial procedure and interpreta-
tion--in this country under conditions
not Of the past, but Of to-day. In the
view shat Justice Hughes has taken
of all these things we see the opera
tion not of a narrow or opinionated
mind, but of one which, beginning
with public-spirited and unsefish
lesser service has been broadened by
judicial and administrative experience,
and has now risen to the highest level
Of competence in the study Of prob
lens of American public life. Mr..
Hughes frs. attracted favorable pub
lie attention from the way in which he
bent his mind, without fear, favor or
error, to the solution of the tangled
mess of revelations in the insurance
cases, more than 10 years ago. But
tina. remarkable achievement of pub
lie enlightenment followed a restrict
ed course indeed in comparison with
the analysis, at once penetrating and
broadly fundamental, which Mr..
Hughes has made in this address.
He shows us in a striking way the
real trainity under which we live in
this coun.ry-the people on one side,
determined TO exercise governmental
control" and disposed to utilize free
ly whatever powers they find at their
commando" on another side,
the legislators, politically-minded,
vagueof purpose, not infrequently in
ambiguous, aiming to sat
isfy the people and putting up to the
courts the solution of their own mean
ngs; on the third side, the courts, in
weighing, often correcting.
and sometimes tending, perhaps in
spite of themselves, to invade the ad-
field. Our government is
,he result of the balance struck be-
.ween these three influences. How
shall we arrive at the best result?
Justice Hughes points out the method
If patriotism and common sense. /.
5 the solution of wisdom, experience,
,ublic spirit-the solution Of expert
touched with the talisman
( patriotism. And of these words in
he address we may well be glad, be
ause they are deserved rebuke 20
lie minds and ignorant brains: 1--WE
hall never rise to our opportunities
/ this country and secure proper
ischarge Of the public business until
ne get over our dislike Of experts"
md what could be more to the point
f our present situation than these
ords regarding the great events Of
Ie time?
"We are living at a time when men
nd women in large part Of the
ORD are undergoing a discipline un-
vailed in its severity and are exhibit
z heroism that has never been sur
lssed. Let j. not be supposed that
ose who survive will lack the
rength which such sacrifice and such
scipline must give. Let us not con-
Mt ourselves with the comfortable
ought Of hardships we have escaped,
It rather refrec. upon the vigor, self
,cipline and patriotic ardor which
,ne can make US worthy Of oppor-

Sold Kipling $ Checks for More Than
Their Face Value

R. Thurston Hopkins has written a
book on Rudyard Kipling. which he
calls literary appreciation.
1t is volume full of anecdoteE and
Renaissance, and it draws abundant
" upon the writings of others. When
he lived in Vermont e. at Vermont is
Mr. Hopkins s way of putting it, Kip
ling paid all his household bills by
check, according to Mr.. Hopkins.
" Many of these checks We're very
small. and the shrewd Yankee trades
men soon discovered that autograph
hunters would pay much over face val
ne for them, so quite a number did not
turn up at the bank for payment. One
shopkeeper obliged his autograph
clients with a duplicate memorandum
of the account. For example: bill
against Kipling for FIVE pounds of
cheese, accompanied by an autograph
check, was a souvenir that commanded
a good price. The consequence was
that when Kipling sent his bank book
to be balanced, it invariably showed
more to his credit than there should
have been on its return. He was unable
to account for the discrepancy, until
one day he saw one of his checks given
for a case of bottled beer framed and
hanging in Boston bookshop. The
first thing he did, when he returned to
his home, was TO burn his check book
After that he insisted on paying his
household bills in coin of the realm.
