Poems for Your Scrap Book.

Put some pennies in your pocket,
And basket ON your arm,
Try the Davis market Friday,
1t can surely do not harm.
Our store is light and airy,
Quite unlike a hole in the wall.
We are just around the corner,
Only step from Allen Ball.
And the maid who still is loyal
To our cause, of which she knows,
You will notice, if you rubber,
Always wears the silken hose;
For the war has taught her many things,
Ad her money she spends with care
She trades with the Guy who put down
prices,
She knows that trade is there.

THE PULSE OF VERMONT TOWN
LIFE.


About the most interesting reading
that has appeared in the Vermont ex.
changes during the last few days has
been the summary of the town meetings
held in many Of the PAT cities and towns
of the state last Tuesday. Even though
one may have no association with a
town, may even never have been in the
town, there is something which compels
attention in the recounting of the pulls
ing details of the annual town meetings,
for in those meetings is centered the life
Of the town, For one brief period the
attention of the whole town is directed
toward the meeting which shall hear the
reports of activities of the year just past
and which shall make the plans for the
ensuing year, together with the election
of officers to carry out those plans. Only
a percentage of the voters of the town
may be in actual attendance at the meet
ing; yet the thoughts of all the voters
are drawn, sooner or later, to the doings
in that meeting. The taxpayer must
pay the tax which the voters in town
meeting levy; the parent is naturally in
terested in the persons who are to have
charge of the schools in which his child
- his children, attend; someone may
consider that the road leading to his
farm is not kept in the best possible CON
dition, so he turns to the road commits
sioner for relief for conditions that ought
to be remedied, and the road commission
err is, Of course, elected at the annual
town meeting; town clerk and town
treasurer must be elected in whom the
confidence of the people is reposed it
may be that someone is destined to be-
come so unfortunate as to be compelled
to call upon the town for support during
the coming year, and the town overseer
of the poor then becomes a person of
powerful influence even though forbid
ding of mien-and the overseer of the
poor is generally elected at the town
meeting. So it goes through the whole
list of officers and through the whole
program of corporation and community
life; the whole current of affairs depends
upon, and has its start at the annual
town meeting.
No wonder, then, that the annual town
meeting is the magnet which attracts
the attention of all people in a given
town even though it does not always
draw them to the. voting place itself;
and, Furthermore, it is not remarkable
that the activities of the town meeting
furnish interest, instruction and, some
times, entertainment for those who are
not even indirectly. concerned with the
affairs of that given town. Long may
the town meeting flourish and continue
the clearing house of the ideas of the
people Of the town, hi it lies much of
the secret of the success of representative
government.
