Our First National Road.

was the Cumberland road, which ran
from the Potomac TO the Mississippi
Starting from Cumberland, Md, it ran
west through Maryland. Pennsylvania
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois TO its ter
nninal point at the Mississippi opposite
81. Louis. Ii was built by the United
States government under the supervi-
sion Of the war department In order
to secure funds for the constant repairs
necessary congress passed a bill in 1872
ordering the establishment % turn
pixies, with gates and tolls, but Presi
dent Monroe vetoed the bin on the
ground that congress had no power to
pass such sweeping measure Of in
ternal Improvement. Two years later
he signed q somewhat similar bill, and
the road received the needed appropria-
ton. The last appropriation was made
by congress in 1874. Parts of the old
rcad are sin in use.

prltt FROM country to citx.

Some further statistics as TO the
drift of population in this country from
the country to the city were presented
IN a recent census bureau report. Fig
ures show that this drift has now cGy-
cred period of a century and a quar-.
ter, or from 100 to the present time,
1870 being the year in which the first
census of population was taken. Since
that time the drift has been practically
uninterrupted. In 1890 cities were eX-
tremely rare in this country. Only one
had population of more than 10000.
This was New York city. which had at
that time 33,131 inhabitants. Next
came Philadelphia with 2S500, and
then Boston with 1920. In the en-
tire country there were only 2929.214

A news dispatch says that the
faculty of the University OF Vermont
has passed resolution advising
President Wilson to break diplomatic
relations with Germany on the
ground that Germany is too coarse
and rough in making war. This is
approximately the same faculty pre-
sumably that few years ago pro.
posed to expel any member of the
college if he took drink or kissed
a girl. From this distance it sort of
looks as though the University Of

An effort is being maze to line up
the members of the legislature from
Bennington county against the re.
forms proposed by Governor Graham
because one of his proposals is to
combine probate districts where there
are two in a county in order to save
expense and that would mean making
this county one probate district The
members and their constituents ought
not to let small selfish reasons blind
them to important issues. If the
north shire is afraid that Bennington
win get the best of the proposed
let them annex Bennington
probate district TO the district of Man
chester with the provision that the
Judge shall hold court down here oc-
casionally. The point is that every
citizen and official should be willing
to forget any personal or selfish in
terest and act broadly for the interest
Of the state.

Folk We Touch in Passing
PURPOSE OF MAY.
By JULIA CHANDLER.


Maytime hugged the face OF the earth.
Dandelions and daffodils flecked the
fields with yellow. The soft spring breeze
stirred the bursting buds with a song
that rose like a velvet flute note on the
perfumed air. The spring wheat rippled
and crinkled like a lake, and the throats
OF the birds seemed bursting with glad
ness.
But in this wonderful symphony The
Man was a discordant note.
The scales still hung before his eyes
so that he saw, ''as through a glass
darkly." and he could find neither
rhyme nor reason for the perfect day.
The Springtime is demoralizing," he
told himself impstiently. as he noted the
folk who took time to gaze afield and
drink into their consciousness the re-
freshment Of the cool emerald unts of
the woods beyond.
"of all the things God ever did the
making OF Springtime is the most sense
less. What is the good of II save to
entIce men away from their jobs?" The
Man demanded sacriIigiously.
For, in spite of himself. his years OF
railing. and his boast of concentration
upon the getting of dollars under any
condition, the Springtime stirred within
him an unrest so great that eventually

and disgust.
Absorbed in the analysis of his mex
plicable frame of mind, he did not notice
when he reached the outskirts Of the
little city, nor heed the turning of his
feet toward the dandelion-flecked fields
until suddenly he was arrested by voices.
The takers were sitting on an emerald
bank Just beyond a hedge and their
voices came to the ears of The Man like
a strain OF tender mysIc.
"Springtime," said the male voice. The
world in Its youth with love the main
issue
1T is all so wonderful, so beautiful
the Springtime.. ! am sure II was made
for love-" answered The Girl.
1T was the first season in the garden
of Eden. created as a setting for Adam
and Eve-the proper background for the
birth OF Love" she went on to explain.
See" interrupted the clear voice of
The Youth, and so interested had The
Man become in The Girls explanation OF
Gods purpose of Spring that he forgot
he didn't wish to be seen away from
his practical pursuit of busines in the
mid-afternoon Of May day, and
Strengthened himself with real eagerness
just In time to see the intimate con-
sultation Of two little wrens over their
half-builded nest.
And, as he looked from the radiant
faces Of the young lovers to the little
feathered mates, and on across the
swinging. swaying wheat to the phalanX
Of budding trees that marked the edge
OF the wood, his dumb heart uttered
song. He touched the edge of the great
gladness that permeates all the world.
The scales were lifted from his eyes, and
The Man knew why God had made the
Springtime.
