Sir Thomas j. Upton, the famous
merchant and sportsman who has been
in America to discuss preliminaries for
an international yachting contest, en-
ters upon his 10th year today. The man
whose two chief desires have been to
feed the world and to lift the Ameri
can cup, began life as an errand boy in
a store in Glasgow, the city of his
birth. The life did not suit him, so he
ran away from home and came to Amer
lea as a stowaway. First he went to
South Carolina and worked on plan
tation. Then he located in New York.
He could find little to do in the metro
polls, so he went home, travelling again
as a stowaway. His father had saved
q little money, and with it the boy was
enabled to set up little grocery bust
ness. 1t prospered, for while in Ameri-
ca Upton has studied the American
way of displaying and selling goods
and he used his knowledge to- such ad-
vantage that he was soon able to open
other stores until he had a line of them
all over the United Kingdom, and had
built up the greatest system of food
supply in the world.

DEVELOPING VERMONT.

That the state authorities realize the
necessity of bringing back life to
many sections of the state is shown by
the plans of the State Publicity Blu
reau to develop some of the mountain
towns of the state as sites for summer
homes for city people having long va
cations. This department plans to is
sue a booklet with a list of small farms
and sites available for cottages and
bungalows and distribute il as far as
possible among the vacationists of the
country. 1t is a commendable purpose
and its full success is ardentIy hoped
for.
1t is generally understood that Wind
ham county offers great opportunity
for such development. Miss Ethel Ed
dy, superintendent of schools for the
eastern section of Windham county has
given some very interesting facts con
corning Stratton and vicinity that will
have local interest. She states that the
town of Stratton in 1857 had a popu-
lation of $50 and in 1919 only fifty
two. In 1915 there were lis school
! children in the town with five schools
and in 1919 there are only seven school
children all of whom are transported
to schools outside the town Less than
ninth of the land is owned by resi-
dents of the town, one lumber corpora
tion owning more than half of the
township.
In West Wardsboro nearly half of
the houses are vacant while three miles
from there is the old village of STRAIT
ton without a resident and West ia.
maica three miles northeast of STRAIT.
ton is another deserted village of a
dozen or fifteen houses. Miss Eddy
says some of the deserted houses are
IN very good state of preservation
and probably all could be remodelled
cheaper than building new.
Among the necessities of rehabili
tating these sections is first reasonable
prices for the properties. Good price.
doubtless could be obtained but the
owners should not make them prohibi
tive. Next is a spirit of neighborliness
and cooperation with newcomers. City
people are possessed of a different ma
ture than the few people whose lif,
has been spent in isolation, but they
possess hearts, sympathies and socia
bility. The natives should show they
possess as much of these desirable quail
tiles. If they demonstrate from TIN
first disposition to give prospective
buyers square deal the city bre,
people will reciprocate.
| This rehabilitation of the mountain
neighborhoods of Vermont is a grea
task but with the cooperation of tn
owners and residents of these section
| the State Bureau of Publicity can &C
| eomphsh much in the development o
| Vermont as a great park that will at
tract thousands of people seeking res
pleasure and recreation elsewhere. Ey
cry resident of this county should con
/ stitute himself a committee of one t
/ promote this worthy object.

a Good Thing.
Barre Tines

Up in the northern part of Vermont.
Canadians are picking up Vermont
farms and settling on them in ever in
creasing numbers. 1t denotes period
of increased prosperity for the state be-
cause most of the Canadians who be-
come thus interested in Vermont are
good farmers and tend to develop the
value of the land. 1t would be a fine
thing if more Canadians could be in
duced to come into Vermont and take
up some of the idle land or the land
which is not worked to the limit of its
capacity.

The Real Reason.
(Rutland News.)

No specific reasons are assigned pub
licly by Fred L. Webster of Swanton
for declining the appointment of super
ior court judge made by Governor
Clement. 1t is easily imagined that
the real reason may be the size of the
salary, al. hough the remuneration is
larger than it was in former years. A
good lawyer can make a much larger
income than any position on the bench
in this state offers. A iudgeship APP
peals only to those lawyers who have
particular liking for the bench re-
gardless of the income that goes with
it. The place will undoubtedly easily
be filled by some acceptable man
