Entertaining New Industries.
Mortified News)

Northfield's new worsted plant
taken in connection with Bar
res new underwear plant, means a
good boost toward the prosperity of
Washington county. The public-Spir-
itedness of some of the people of
Mortified which made the new
worsted plant assured is TO be COM
mended and set up as an example for
the remainder of the county, and, in
fact, for the whole state of Vermont.
Washington county needs to take on
new impetus if it is to keep pace
with its strong rival, Windsor coun-
", which has been coming along fast
in the period since 1915.-Barre
Times.
The contemporary gives good ad-
vice. Speaking about Windsor coun-
| ty for a minute Those who are ac-
quainted with history will remember
who it was that started things down
! that way, particularly in Windsor. 1t
was Maxwell Evarts, than whom no
better booster for Vermont ever liv-
ed Big money was interested, start
ing with big fellows financially right
at home That is the difference be-
/ tween Windsor county and Washing
! ton county. This is illustrated in the
new Barre industry, as well as II
Northfield The little fellows in both
cases put these over. If there was
only one real fnancier at this mo-
ment, ready to put up plant on the
rental basis, we think there is no
the shadow of doubt, but what We
would land this Hartley Clock enter
prise for Mortified. 1t is fact tina
there are many small industries try
ing to get out of the congested cit
lies. The solution is in giving then
comfortable homes and pleasant sur
roundings. The housing problem i!
very important part of this build
ing-up program.

Childless Couples Disgraceful.
Rutland Herald)

There should be less talk about the
"smartness" of childless parents. The
wretched advice" peddled about
homes and some doctors Offices should
be frowned down in no uncertain
fashion Deliberate and artificial
chiIdlessness should be regarded as
disgraceful as vice or disease. Moth
erhood and fatherhood should be hon.
ored and exalted. Instead of the
canting and indecent sympathy of
self-indulgent women for the pros
pective mother, she ought to be re-
stored to the place of honor she had
in biblical times and which she now
holds IN all nations where the poison
of race suicide has not entered.
The parents of two children should
be considered as merely having done
the minimum toward replenishing the
race, leaving nothing whatever for
the hazards of existence and perhaps
dying without even leaving their
places filed. Three children should
be no more than a factor of safety
so far as the population problem is
concerned. Five would merely ap-
proximate the average on which we
compete with the more natural races
of the world.
Not only must decent men and
women face this rrob'en for them
selves without prudery CT false pride,
but they must stem IN md insist up
on a standard witch will in eff
feet be new morality, with normal

guarantee of character and the child

sequent social penalty as slackers
and sensualists.
After that, the state might 10

To state the situation in business

The entire county has an interest
in seeing that Newport has Nation
al Guard company of the required
strength to make possible the cree
ton of a state armory in this city.
The erection of an armorv of the size
and character this building viii be,
is something of benefit to the entire
county, and wherever there are men
who can enlist with the Newport men
in order to make the company 100
strong before January 1, whether
residents of Newport or not, they
may feel that they are doing some
thing for their community as well as
for themselves, though the sacrifice
involved in such enlistment is some
thing. Everyone is interested in
seeing a big new arnory in Newport
but the first requisite to such bull l.
ing is a 1O0-strong National Guard
company, and anything and every
thing that can be done to help should
be willingly offered.

A correspondent in another column
touches upon the housing problem in
Orleans. The conditions he pictures
there have been referred to several
times in this paper and are conditions
similar to those found in all the rail
road centers of the county. There is no
doubt that this condition is retard-
ing the growth of these centers and
there is no more vital problem the
commercial clubs in these towns can
undertake than its elimination How
can we expect to grow when there is
nothing in the line of places for peo-
pie to live in that can be found either
for rent or for purchase? The stu
alton is one that demands attention
or those towns which solve the prob
lem through building associations
will advance and leave US behind. The
day of great expansion for Orleans
county is at hand, and the centers
which are ready to grasp the oppor-
tunity will make great strides ahead,
while the unprepared will curse ''the
luck"
