OUT the roads in Vermont may be iusti-
fed, to a certain extent, but they are too
much inclined in their broadcast criticism
to give proper consideration to existing
conditions. Vermont is a mountainous
state, the highways run "up hill and down
dale" the streams in time of food work
havoc with the numerous bridges and the
rapidly flowing surface water rips away
the surface of the roads in times of
heavy rains. In addition to the difficulties
created by nature there is the big prob
lem of finance. Good roads cost money
no matter where they are constructed and
the state is not in a position to expend
the large sums that are appropriated in
states with larger populations and more
extensive resources. There are many good
roads in Vermont and there will be more
of them in the future, and in the mean
time the knockers" would do we'll to
hang up their hammers. They are living
next to the richest state and the most
populous state in the Union and it is
time that they realized the actual state
of affairs and ceased to draw comparisons.

ATTACK ON ADVERTISING.

Unconsciously the secretary of the
Consumers league has started
an effective advertisement of adver-
Using 1t is entirely unintentional on
his part because he has made a public
attack on the advertising of the great
packing houses of the country which
he says is increasing annually. To this
advertising he attributes the defeat of
the unadvertised local meat products
and dealers in competition with the
packers; thus acknowledging the Elf
cheney of the agency he would con-
DENIM
He also expresses another fallacy in
claiming that the cost of advertising
is added to the price of the advertised
goods. The poor fellow ought to real
ize that an increase of purchasers or
consumers of any food product reduces
the cost of that product. Take the but
cher as an example. He must have a
certain wage per day, say So. Sup
pose the dealer has a market for five
beef animals per day, the cost of
slaughtering his meat is ST. per head.
If he can develop market for TWEEN
ty animals day and bis butcher
slaughters them, the cost of slaughter
is only twenty-five cents per head, a
saving of seventy-five per cent. 1t
costs as much to ship refrigerator
car half filled with meat, both ice and
freight, as it does to ship a car full of
meat. The successful man knows this,
advertses until he has a market for a
whole carload of meat and reduces the
cost per pound for shipment by one
half. Then he can undersell the small
shipper and get his trade in meat.
Advertising has another effect. 1t
standardizes the quality of goods by
educating the tastes of the public. The
government inspection and certiica
ton of the healthfulness of the pack
err s meat, the sanitary methods of the
packing plant guarantee the quality of
his meats. He has produced a quality
of meat that will outsell the meat of
the country meat peddler whose meat
is not guaranteed free from disease or
free from contamination in slaughter
house or meat cart.
Advertising further standardizes the
price for standard goods. Mrs. Smith
can buy at the same price as Mrs.
Brown and generally feels considerable
pride in the fact that she has paid Just
as much as her neighbor who often
claims some superiority over Mrs.
Smith. Without an advertised price
Mrs. Brown might have been mulcted
more as demonstration of the super
ority of her pocket book; but with the
advertised price before each of them
Mrs. Brown must act the part of a
true democrat and suppress her desire
for autocraey.
BY developing market for the full
productive capacity of plant or of
craftsmanship in store or shop adver-
Using reduces the cost; through its
publicity it makes prices uniform and
just to every man and his neighbor, the
secretary of the National Consumers
league to the contrary, notwithstand-
ing.
