Poems Are Written About Us.

instead of having 70 live up to their
ancestors: they ,aean the people who
have gone before them, who are Of
their own family
For instance. a little boys grand
father and his great grandfather and
his grandmother and his great grand
mother and those people of his family
who came before him-thcy are all his
ancestors.

we haven't any coal grandfaihers.r
That is true said tho first piece
of coal. "but | spoke of our ancestors

last winter. ! am sorry If mixed you
up at ALL"
I'll forgive you,' said the second
piece of coal. ram glad TO know what
ancestors are. But | don't think they
are as nice as roaring fires. Now if
we had ancestors and could choose
them ourselves I'd pick out furnaces
and coal fires.
That's COED idea" said the first
piece of coal, but of course ancestors;
are never chosen. We can't choose
those who go before rs, and be-
sides the furnaces and the coal fires
don't go before us. They go with us.
They wouldn't do for ancestors any
way"
Maybe not said the second piece
of coal, but let Us pretend they would.
It's such a pleasant thought to be re-
lated to furnace fire.
That's So, said the first piece OF
coal. ''As We can't have. ready made
ancestors, AMI as we can't have any

Vermont Roads.
{ Burlington Free Press.l


Can il be possible that after all the
people of Vermont have said about the
absolute necessity Of improved roads we
are to continue another two wears with
out more adequate appreciation of
our need expressed in the form of Iccis
lation' Are we to limit our efforts to
restrictions merely to preserve the
roads we have! Following the reduc-
ton of automobile loads that can be
driven over our roads. how would It
do to limit the weight of heavy teams
that can be driven faster than a walk
on our principal thoroughfares9 We
might go farther and warn tourists to
keep off our roads on account of the
successive layers of dust removed with
the uncovering Of stone and the break
ing down of our highways as a result!
This age believes roads are construct
cd because we need means of trans
portation of both people and freight
in the form of products of soil and in
dustry. When the railroads found
their rails too light for the increased
loads necessitated by modern eondi-
tions and their bridges too weak TO
withstand the pounding of heavier loco
notlNtS lney promptly substituted
heavier rails and stronger bridges. We
know of no reasonable way TO meet
modern conditions on our highways ex-
cept to make our roads more durable
If we arc to try TO save by preventing
people from using our highways. We
may as we'll go out Of business as q
state supposed TO represent thriving
industries and prosperous farms and
everinereasing trade and commerce.

The Meddler
~ tie coal fits yon, PIT il on

The widespread sentiment in favor
of holding the Valley fair at the very
end of September is largely based on the
belief that weather conditions at that
time are likely to be more settled than
in the middle of the month. This is
true, but experience has shown that no
good weather guarantee goes with any
dates. Ten years ago this fall the
Valley fair was scheduled to take place
Sept. IS, % and so but had to be put
over one day on account of rain, and
there have been times since when the
line storm caused trouble However,
there are other reasons which make
the later dates more popular, one of
them being the advantage they give to
exhibitors who must do their showing
with as little interference with rou-
tine work as possible. In the ease of
most farmers the end of September
finds their crops pretty well harvested,
and they are in q much better position
TO take few days off than is the case
a fortnight earlier. And with due re-
gard for the importance of the "big
exhibitor who has time and money TO
plan a regular fall show campaign, it
is the nearby stock breeder and agri-
culturist on whom fair officials should
place their main dependence, not only
because Of the interest which nearby
| exhibits create but because of the good
which fair made up of them does for
the interests represented.

Trout fishermen who contend that the
legal length of their favorite fish
should be reduced from six TO five
inches will be interested TO know that
in Connecticut the legislature has fav-
orably reported measure making the
legal length seven instead of six inches
and limiting the number of trout that
may legally be taken in one day TO 20.
As the supply of trout in the streams
comes to depend more and more upon
artificial propagation and stocking the
natural tendency is to reduce the NUM-
Der that may lawfully he caught, and
as this limit is reduced less IS heard
from those who used to argue so strong
ly for the fvc-ineh length. In fact
trout fishermen everywhere are coming

tinued enjoyment of this sport depends

News that the Holyoke, Mass, board
