Evolution Of the Wheel.

Naturally, there was n first man to
eat an oyster, and there must have
been some heroic pioneer to tackle
every edible article that is known to
civilization today. High authority has
bestowed eulogy on the man who in
vented the wheel, and some have gone
so far as to assert that this unidenti-
fed genius was the greatest benefac-
tor Of the race, but we may doubt If
the wheel was really an invention. 1t
seems more likely to have been a
gradual discovery, the result Of a slow,
evolutionary process for which no man
or group Of men could claim the cred

LAWSON GETS
WIRE SUBPOENA
Must Go to Washington at Once for
Committee Hearing on LEAK"
Resolution.

Washington, Jan. 5.--Public hearings
on Representative Woods "leak" in
auiry resolution in connection with
President Wilson's peace note will be-
gin this morning before the House rules
committee. Thomas w. Lawson of Bos-
ton, Representative Wood, and Repre-
sentative Gardner of Massachusetts will
be the first heard. Lawson was sub
poenaed to-day by telegraph to return
at once to Washington.
Arrangements for the hearings were
made by unanimous vote of the com
mittee. Democrats said they expected
to show that neither lawson, Wood,
nor Gardner has any tangible evidence
of leak" and thus the majority mem
bers of the committee will be justified
in reporting the Wood resolution ad-
versely.
Republicans, obviously pleased over
obtaining an open hearing, declared en-
phatically that they would force full
investigation, either under the Wood res
olutions or by some other means.
While this resolution is ostensibly
aimed at finding out whether the Law
son fulminations against Congress and
government officials are justified, the in
dications are that if the investigation
is ordered it win develop the scope OF
an inquiry into the facts concerning the
leak itself.

LESSON IN THRIFT
Is Being Taught in Schools in Washing.
ton County.

AZ the beginning of the schools in
September 1915 Supt. w. b. Lance in
stituted a school savings system in the
towns in his district and in an inter.
view he tells something of its workings
and the results up to Jan. l.
THE federal government is putting
time and money into extension work
among the boys and girls in the public
schools, forming clubs of various kinds
for the purpose of encouraging them to
do things worth while, things that pay,
and in my district | have had clubs in
each town that have done excellent work,
/ shall take up this work even more ex'
tensively next year along all lines.
Among some OF the projects that have
been carried on during the past year are
the raising of vegetables, poultry, and
swine by the boys and sewing, cooking
and canning by the girls. From the sale
of their products they have realized va
rious sums of money; one boy got TWEEN
/ ty dollars for his potatoes; two girls
raised an acre Of onions and did the work
alone. III these things are worth while
and profitable why not have some sys-
tenn whereby they viii get the habit OF
saving and learn TO handle their earn
ings properly.
81 took up this matter with the Mont
pelier Savings Bank and Trust Co., who
kindly consented to assist me and give it
fair trial. They printed folder that
would hold fifty two-cent stamps, spe-
cial two-cent stamp, and envelopes to
use in sending in the folders. I 5istrib-
uted these to the teachers and they to
the pupils. When the pupils bring in
their money they buy the two-cent
stamps, paste them into the folder and
when il is full send them in to the bank
for deposit. The cash is all handled by
the teacher and superintedent.
"The results already attained are ev-
idence of merit in the system. The first J
folder was sent to the bank on Oct. ] I
and in three months. Jan. LIST, they had 4
sent in two hundred and sixty nine dol |
lars (s26900l. Among the boys and
girls that sent in folders l02 had never |
before had a bank book
like everything else saving is hab-
it, and habits formed during the charsc-
ter-making period of a child's life will
endure. The habit of saving leads boys /
and girls to devise methods TO get mon
ey; they save old rags, rubbers, paper,
and work at a great variety of odd jobs.
It would astonish you to hear them tell
of the unique ways they have OF earning
money.
"The actual benefits and profits may
not show for years but | believe il will
result in great amount OF good TO
them, their parents and the communities
in which they live.
