WILL BENEFIT FROM QUARRYINa
Brattleboro Pleased that West Dunn
merston Plant Is to Be Re-opened-
Getting Machinery Ready.

Brattleboro people note with pleasure
the decision of the Flint Granite Co.
of Monson, Mass, to reopen the West
Dummerston granite quarry as this
town as well as Dummerston will bene-
fit from resumption of operations
there. Fisk g. Rogers, formerly sup
erintendent of the West Dummerston
plant and now in charge of the Mon
son quarres, has engaged James Phil
lips of West Dummerston, who con
Quoted a private quarry before the war,
as superintendent in charge of the men
now putting the plant in readiness.
Formerly about 100 men were en-
ployed there, but several years ago the
quarry was closed as the Monson plant
was able to care for the orders. With
the cessation of war more orders are
coming in than the Monson plant can
handle, hence the decision to open the
West Dummerston quarry. At present
a small force of men is employed get
ting the machinery and tools in work
ing order, and the number of men to
be put to work there is problematical
depending on the demand.

The advertisement by Brattleboro
bank of deposits whose owners have not
been known for twenty years or more
has attracted much attention because it
demonstrates the extent that money on
deposit in sound bank will increase.
The item that has attracted the most at
tention is a deposit of $1,1l4.S6 due
Newton F. Whiting, it being the largest
unknown deposit held by the bank. Peo-
pie have learned in the news columns of
the papers that Newton f. Whiting in
January 1857 deposited the sum of $50.
For some reason he never called for the
money and left for some unknown place.
So the money has remained in the bank
drawing the regular rate of interest un-
til now there is $1,114.S6 in the bank
drawing four per cent compound inter
est, or $500 per year-a sum almost
equal to the original deposit
Sixty-two years is a long time but the
money is more than twenty-five times as
much as it was when it was saved out
of Mr.. Writings funds and placed in
the bank. The great returns on this
small sum suggest the desirability of
making savings out of the larger in
comes of the present day and depositine
them in a safe bank for n nest egg
People today are earning much more
money than the people of 1857, but they
are spending a great deal more. If they
would begin the systematic saving OF
portion Il the money that comes into
their posss ssion they would be laying
the foundation for just as profitable and
wonderful capital increases as Mr.. Whit
ing. It's not the money you earn but
the money you save that serves yor
through good and i'll fortune.

Windham county people will be inter
estcd in the recommendations made by
an investigating committee with rela-
ton to the Cheshire county farm at
Westmoreland n. H., across the river
from Putney. Briefly these recommends
tions are that no more money be spent
on the present institution, which is
called an impracticable proposition,
that the farm in its present location be
disposed of as soon as possible and the
institution removed to some place near
the center of the county and adjacent
to the railroad where it can be combined
with the county jail The Cheshire
county farm in Westmoreland was es-
tablishcd in 1869 when conditions were
vastly different from what they are
today. The majority of the county IS
legislative representatives, from swAom
the investigating committee was ap-
pointed, seem to share the committee s
opinion that larger institution with
modern equipment should be built and
that the farm connected with it should
be smaller and less costly to operate
than the present one.

THE GOOD ROADS QUESTION.

The discussion of good roads in Yer
mont continues and is bringing out
many good suggestions One man in the
state, a practical road man we suspect,
makes the following:
"Make every mile of road an integ-
raj part of a general road system for
the township, county and state. That
means a state road system and many
other things. Avoid heavy grades
wherever possible. Avoid troublesome
water courses and assure good drainage
Carefully consider the cost of construc-
ton in connection with the factor of
permanence of foundation or subgrade
A road should furnish the maximum of
benefit to the greatest number of peo-
pie. Keep the surface well rounded and
small holes filled constantly in order tc
avoid standing water and the conse-
qucnt softening of the surface. 1t is
easier to keep a road in repair than &c
construct the entire roadway at fire
quent intervals. -
There are principles simple enough tc
be mastered by every citizen; and they
will furnish standard by which he car
measure the amount of good road work
that is being done in his own community
or town. If every citizen will make him
self "A good judge of good roads he will
become an influence for good roads anC
the influence of all the citizens for gooC
roads will be an irresistible force fo
general highway improvement.

A correspondent asks this ques-
ton:
Does the marriage of conven.
ience often turn into a love match
In other words. is the man or wom-
an who married without love apt
to fall in love with his wife or her
huband?
To this question I should answer
both yes and no. The marriage of
convenience seems to work very
well in Europe, where sentiment
appears to cut a smaller figure in
peoples lives than material pros
perity does. However. in this land
of the free the marriage of con-
venience nearly always turns out to
be one of the inconvenient mar
riases that ends in the divorce
court
No. Matrimony is not the cradle
Of love. 1t Is the fiery furnace in
which love is tried out. and in
which all affection that is not pure
gold is burned up into ashes. This
being the case it is a hazardous
experiment for people to attempt
the holy estate on the OF chance
that they will fall In love after
marriage with the individual who
did not inspire love before mar.
riage.
Still the day of miracles is never
past. Sometimes Cupid does visit
the loveless household, but when
he does knock at the door 1t is
almost invariably the woman and
not the man on whom he calls.
Practically any woman will fall
in love with a man who is good to
her, and a good husband, but, this
rule does not apply to men and
good wives. A man never falls in
love with a woman because she is
good or good to him, and this IL
because women love men for theiI
virtues. and men love women for
their graces.
A woman who is not in love with
a man when she 'marries him may
fall in love with the man after

"Oh. no. not very" he answered, as
he finished giving his machine a drink
Of gasoline.
This is baking day. the muskrat
lady answered, land wish you would

1t did not take him long to reach
the home Of the lady bear.
Good morning, Mrs. Stubtail." said
Uncle wiggily as he stopped in front
of her garden.
Nurse Jane sent me over to get
some rhubarb pie plant
There you are. Uncle Wiggily!"
said Mrs. Stubtail. handing him an
arnful of green stalks.
But why can't I eat any OF 1t
raw" asked the rabbit gentleman.
"Oh, because. II you do" began
Mrs. Stubtail. and just then she had
to run in to answer her telephone
The rabbit gentleman started back
toward home when out from behind
a big bush jumped the bad Pipsise-
wah.
Halt! Stop where you are." cried
the Pip. standing in front of Uncle
Wiggilys machine. II am going to
take a lot OF your souse But first
tell me. what are those reddish-green

That is pie plant" said Uncle Wig
gily. but you are PARTICULARLY not to
eat any of it raw
Nonsense! Not eat pie plant raw:
OF course l shall II like" cried the
bad Pip.
He reached over and grabbed a
stalk of the rhubarb pie plant He
took a big bite and then his large
mouth was all puckered up. and the
Pip cried:
"Oh, wow! The pie plant Is the
most puckery stuff I ever tasted"
''Ha. 1t serves you right" cried
Uncle Wiggily. Now, l know why
they didn't want me to eat any pie
