People Must Interest Themselves In
Politics.
(Brattleboro Reformer)
The people of Vermont have the
political power of the state complete
ly in their hands in the Vermont prl-
mary law but they seem rather lno1-
ferent about the matter. Ihere
seems to be an impression that Ma
son S. Stone may be the next COVER
nor of the state. With his name has
been coupled that of Martin 3 Was
for lieutenant governor under the
title of 1.-THE Barge Terminal Ticket.
This name commits these men TO a
scheme that will add hundreds OF
thousands of dollars to the states IN
debtedness which is already the larg--
est in its history. viii the people OF
the state indorse such an increase to
state taxation and to the high costs
of living? 1t is generally admitted
through the state that Mr.. Villas has
ssbeat the band" on the public forum
but that should not enable him to
beat the voters and taxpayers.
1t is generally recognized that the
state needs fully as good manager
at the head of its executive depart
ment as governor, man who can
represent the state with dignity and
control the business of the state with
real business ability. 1t Is hard to
discover these qualifications in either
OF the men mentioned, but there is
question whether or not the people
will insist upon having men who do
possess them.
There is talk of a new candidate
for United States senator TO succeed
Senator ". p. Dillingham; and Judge
Wendell P. Stafford of Washington
is mentioned as a candidate There
IS, however, little evidence of public
interest in this matter.
Thus far no candidates for state
auditor, secretary of state, state
treasurer or attorney general,
against the present incumbents have
been mentioned and it looks as
though the only contests will be over
the governorship, the lieutenant gov
ernorship and possibly the United
States senatorship. The contest be-
ing brought down to such narrow
limits, the people of the state should
choose wisely for these places. The
lines are being laid and it is time for
the public to take an active interest
in the matter.

Rossier's Act One of Great Heroism
Barre TimeS)

In these annals of peace times
there is no more heroic deed recorded
than the action of Arthur Rossier of
Westmore, who although not a good
swimmer, went to the rescue of Ma
poleon Maillot, aged II, in Willough-
by lake and was drowned although he
was able to save the life OF his young
friend When the latter got beyond
his depth and cried for help, Rossier
took no thought for his own safety
but rushed to the aid OF the drowning
lad, being himself drawn under the
surface of the water and held there
although all the while he kept SWIM
ming toward the shore and pushing
the frightened young man ahead OF
him until at length Maillot was able
TO touch bottom and Rossier sank
back into the deeper water. 1t was
an instance of real sacrifice, manfully
carried out, and viii no doubt stamp
In minds OF the friends OF the deceas-
ed consciousness of his heroism.

Give Violation Information to Off
Gals
(Rutland News)

The Barre Times gives excellent
advice TO those who may know OF vi
olations OF the weights and measures
regulations of the state when it urges
that complaints be made directly to
the officials ''man-fashion." This is
the only decent way TO make COM
plants of any kind or character. Al
together too often do those who have
knowledge of law violations harbor
their information or peddle it around
as gossip. It is entirely legitimate to
give public officials direct and deff-
mite information of law violations. 1t
is disreputable and cowardly for the
most part to circulate the informa-
ton in an underhanded and under
ground way

Vermont as a Dairy State.
Waterbury Recordl

Vermont ranks high as a dairy
state. This fact was brought out in
the report of the town clerks on live
stock. The number of cows reported
is 211. $50 and figuring that the aver
age cow viii produce SIS per year,
one can easily figure this part of the
farm production. 1t is said that with
in 3 radius of ten miles from Enos-
burg Falls postoffice more cows are
kept than in any like section in the
United States.

many reasons why his watch
selection should unqualihedly
be-a Waltham Watch.
We could do this because we
were the first watchmakers
in the New World to apply
American mechanical genius
to making theparts of watches
absolutely uniform in quality
by marvellous machinery, to
making them more accurate,
giving them a Aawless stand
ardization which protected
every purchaser Of a Wal
than Watch from those ma
terial variations which are
natural attributes Of foreign
watches made by hand.
We were enabled to open
wide the door to the works
of a Waltham Watch because
there were many exclusive
Waltham inventions. and
metallurgical discoveries en-
shrined in its creation which
we were proud to reveal.
And because a fallacy was
abroad in the land = that the
foreign-bu watch was supe-
rior to this American master
piece we were glad to do
our part to dispel this mis-
leading idea.

Get the Watch You Have Decided to Buy

Substitution usually breeds
dissatisfaction. There is
nothing "just as good to a
man or woman who has set
mind and heart upon some
thing else. And the dealer
who sells a customer against
the wishes of that customer
is a poor business man.
This obvious fact is the foun-
dation of all Waltham Watch
advertising. The layman
knew very little about
watch. To him it was
mystery Of wheels and gears
and pinions, and he believed
almost everything he was told
about it. So we took the
mystery out Of a watch -
took him on a tour Of inspec-
ton through its works" and
showed him by illustration
and simple language why the
Waltham has become univer-
sally famous as a time-keep-
ing mechanism.
Andthiswasthe6rsttim timeinthe

spective purchaser of a watch

Therefore we welcomed the OPP
portunity to make comparisons.
As Americans we take pride in de-
tending American genius, Amer
lean watchmakers and American
theological achievement as demon
strated in the Waltham Watch.
People did not generally know that
Waltham had won large majority.
of the highest honors at the worlds
greatest expositions - that Wal
than had obtained over six hun
dred Kew Observatory "A" Ger
tificates from stock models at
London-perhaps the severest test
of time-keeping performances that
can be given a watch.
And now the demand for Waltham
Watches is greater than the sup
ply our enormous resources are
taxed to the utmost. Some one
has to wait. The dealer is not
to blame. But substitution is a
poor exchange for conviction. If
you have decided to buy Wal
tham Watch, your good judgment
equals that Of any other man. We
prize most that in which our own
faith is invested.
b
A Waltham Watch Is a lifetime
investment. IF it is the watch you
have decided to buy, and cannot
get it Immediately, wait for it.
You will be amply repaid. 1t will
give you that faithful, dependable
time-keeping service which has
made Waltham the Worlds Watch
