VERMoNT'S HIGHWAYS.

Vermonters will generally be pleased
with the hearty commentator If three
well known Burlington business men of
the roads in Vermont While improve
ments are desirable and necessary in
many sections it remains a fact that
great injustice has been done the state
in the thoughtless condemnation of all
its roads. The road agitators apparent
ly have been following the line of least
resistance and simply grumbled. They
have ignored conditions and INDUCED in
unreasonable criticism.
These Burlington men did not ignore
the faults of Vermont roads, they
stated the most serious ones were in the
villages and cities or in the approaches
to the larger towns of the state. 1t
will generally be admitted they are
correct in this statement. Possibly an
improper system of construction is res
ponsible for this condition. Too many
villages and cities have attempted to
DuiiI pei lOduS Win very pei
ishable material and they now have
large debts and the poorest roads. But
it should be possiblc for these larger
places to construct good and durable
roads. 1t is not impossible that good
foundations with coating of good
gravel properly oiled through the dry
season would prove more durable and
cheaper than crushed stone. 1t is an
experiment that might be safely tried
on short section of highway bearing
heavy traffic.
Frost penetrates so deeply in Yer
mont that solid surface roads are very
hard to maintain. The state cannot
reasonably expect to construct such
highways and must endure unsettled
roads for about a month in the spring.
But for the rest of the season it has
good smooth and comfortable riding
roads on its main thoroughfares; and it
would be well if the grumblers would
advertise this fact rather than their
grouches.

The Vacation Season.
burlington News.

The coming summer is being heralded
as probably the most notable one from
vacation standpoint that the country
has seen. Tourists agencies report an
unprecedented demand for accomoda-
tions and there is every prospect that
the country plans to relax after its
strenuous dip into war.
This brings to mind that as a 'tsum-
mer state Vermont Is not nearly de-
veloped to its full possibilities A great
many people come to this state in the
summer and approaching its beauties
come again, but the scenic wonders are
far from being adequately advertised.
More than that the state appropria-
ton for publicity is only drop in the
bucket even if expended with the
greatest wisdom That being so it
would appear that those directly profit
ing from an influx of summer visitors
would bestir themselves.
In the Boston Transcript of Saturday
evening, for instance. there were nearly
three pages of resort advertising Less
than column was taken up by Yer
mont advertisers and that was largely
given to one particular advertisement
the hotel at Lake Dunmore.
On the other hand there were about
seven columns of New Hampshire re-
sort advertising, so being out -adver-
tised at ratio of seven to one we need
not wonder if New Hampshire contin-
ues to be the popular vacation state.
Evidently Vermont lacks in appre-
citation of her own beauties or possibly
it may be only lack of their CONNER
cial value. We have a promising in
dustry here which does not require the
usual course of taking raw material and
putting it through the usual process UNI
til it comes out the finished article.
Nature has done the work and left
the goods on our hands. Having done
that nature leaves it up to u.s.

Farming Offers Independence.
BARRE Times. J

Indiana young men are reported to be
showing stronger tendency to remain
in agricultural pursuits rather than to
go wandering off into the cities and
larger towns; and the farming life of
that state is feeling a new impetus from
this decision. Sooner or later Vermont
young men are going to find that while
there is lot of hard work connected
with farming there is an independence
of existence which commends it far
above job in the big city where the
worker becomes mere automatum.
There are some splendid opportunities
for young men to make good in farming
here in Vermont providing they are
willing TO apply themselves.

I'm sure he doesn't mean to be so

said Mrs. Crow.
NO." said Mr.. Crow, 81 am sure he
hates the very thought of being cruel.
For have often heard him say so. lie

Just then the very person they were
talking about came around, and the
person was young boy named Dick.

nodded their heads as best they could,
but Dick didn't think they really meant

And they didn't want orange JUICE,
but oh, the word juice had such very
pleasant sound. They were thirsty.
Both these crows had belonged to Dick
only very, very, very short time,
which, of course, was lucky for them.
Dick had found out what they should
eat, but somehow he didn't think of
them as wanting any water. A strange
thought, on his part, but still it was so.
He didn't mean to be cruel, though.
No. he loved his two black crows
Then" continued Dick, and the
crows hung their heads sadly, for he
was no longer talking about juice,
then repeated Dick, you can eat
your bugs in place of it, and in place
of the porridge which / eat next you

lnseck ants are more intr.sting than
unkles wives. They dig holes in the
ground to carry bred crumbs into. sum
times the bred crumb is so mulch bigger
than the ant you cant tell weather the
ant is pushing the bred crumb or the
bred crumb is pulling the ant.
1t Is Supposed to be bad luck to tired
on ant, but no matter how bad luck
1t IS, It's verse luck for the ant.
If people find ants in things to eat, they
genrelly throw the things away, on ac
count of most people being too proud tc
eat the same things ants are eating. II
all the ants suddenly died nobody would
feel very sad about it, altho they are
more popular than spiders
Ants are found all over the werld, al
tho not the same ants.
No matter ware you see an ant it is
always bizzy going sumware or coming
back frum some place. Nobody ever sees
a ant looking tired
Ants genrelly ike to be ware other

"Here Is Fine Breakfast for You"
his two pet crows, who were so nice
and tame and friendly, very fine
breakfast.
The next day they looked so poorly
they could hardly eat and friend of
Dicks came over to look at them, for
Dick was awfully worried.
"What do you give them to eat?"
asked the friend
And Dick told him.
That's all right, and do you give
them good water to drink"
NO" said Dick. How horrible! |
didn't think they liked water. | don't
know why I ever got such an idea. Oh.
dear, that is why they look so poorly"
THAT must be the reason" said the
friend, land | think that would be rea-
son enough to make me feel poorly if |
hadn't had any water"
So Dick got water for the crows, and
oh, how they did cav and cav their
thanks and gratitude.
I'm so glad asked you to help me-"
said Dick to his friend, but il teaches
me lesson to find out everything
which should be given to pets in adj
vance, for almost killed my precioGs
birds, and If ! had, oh. how terribly l
would have felt"
But the crows were soon all right
