one of the customary stereotyped va
riety. When experienced woodsmen
and hunters make such grieyous mis-

in trailing the woods and in the hand

the line of caution and prudence, The
event is a call for the exercise of even
greater carefulness, not alone by the
experienced persons but by the novces

The Publishing Business.

Newspapers which have been facing
abnormal conditions during the war
seem to face further development OF
such conditions rather than a return
TO the normal,
Print paper consumption has in
creased tremendously and production
has scarcely Travelled at the same rate
so serious shortage of print paper
with attendant high prices promises
TO be the rule in 1920
This means smaller papers, less read
ing matter and higher rates both for
subscriptions and advertising. Amer.
lean newspapers face what is really a
critical situation and doubtless more
papers will fall by the wayside in the
coming year than in any year since
conditions in the publishing business
approached the abnormal.
Educational campaigns which will
create still larger English reading
public will tend to increase circula-
tions and the demand for newsprint
so it will be several years before any
thing like normal conditions will pre-
vail in the publishing business, Bur
lington News.

CONCEALING THE HAZARDS OF
THE TRACK.

The practice Of railroad companies
of building various structures at the
intersection of railroad track and high
way has resulted in more accidents on
grade crossings than from nearly all
other causes combined. These build
ings placed beside the track and also
contiguous to the highway shut off the
view Of the users of the highways so
that the approach of trains cannot
readily be seen An instance of this
nature has just come up in the town
Of Putney in which the driver Of an
automobile did not see an approaching
train because Of the interposition OF an
icehouse, with the result that he drove
his vehicle on the track and had just
time to jump before the crash of the
engine with the automobile Other in
stances of similar nature are coming
up constantly in every part of the
state and of all states where, grade
crossings still abound. The only rem
edy, pending the adjustment of the
grade crossings, is to compel the rail.
roads to build their storage buildings
at reasonably safe distance away
from the highway, 1t being, of course,
necessary that the structures be placed
close to the railroad track itself, If
the storehouses were to be, placed at a
| distance of a few hundred feet from
the intersection of railroad track and
highway they would not act as com
plete bar to vision of the users of the
highway or of the enginemen in charge
of the driving of the train 1t would
be comparatively easy matter for the
railroads to secure right OF way from
the highway to the locations a few
hundred feet from the main road, SO
that delivery of products to and from
the storehouses by means of road We
hicles would not be interfered with
If the railroads do not voluntarily see
to it that these changes are made then
it will be advisable for the state to
take action toward removing these
POSITIVE hazards which are to be found
at various points in sparsely populated
sections, as we'll as in the cities and
| towns.

A Growing Church Fellowship.

The invitation to several non Epis-
eopal clergymen to receive the eommu-
Mon at the installation of Bishop
Blrch in the Cathedral of st. John the
Divine is another indication of the
changing attitude Of religious bodies,
To some within the church who are
concerned with the strict letter of the
law, the unprecedented incident will
seem serious lowering of standards.
But the average man will be apt to re-
gard it as evidence of growing fell
lowship, based on the essentials Of re-
ligious faith.
Everywhere this tendency is mani
fest, and it is generally looked on as
evidence of spiritual vitality rather
than laxity. The country would not
willingly go back to the days Of doc
trinal controversy and denominational
quarTels, when ministers preached
against each others churches The text

Entertaining New Industries.

Northfield's new worsted plant, tax
en- in conjunction with Barre's new un-
derwear plant, means a good boost to-
ward the prosperity of Washington
county. The pubiic-spiritedness of
some of the people of Mortified which
made the new worsted plant assured
is to be commended and set up as an
example for the remainder of the coun.

BETTER ACQUAINTANCE
SERIES, NO. s

Dear Folks:
This is my last appearance in this
form My spirit will be with you, but
my form shall be no more. This sounds
mournful, doesn't it.? But really / do
not intend 1t that way, for | find that
can make more friends by keeping
them jolly and good natured. They say
that the only animal that will kick
you when he is good -natured is mule
He will laugh at you and kick you at
the same time. Did you ever see
donkey laugh? | never did, but they
say that they do--actually laugh. I've
seen beings with long ears laugh when
the resemblance was quite marked.
But that is beside the point. What j
want to say is this. The time has
come in the crucial months and years
which follow all wars, when the only
solution for our social and economic
ills is the simple, straightforward doc
trine--work and save. You may read
about your theories of social readjust
ment but when you reduce them all to
common factor you will find that
those three wordsworth and save--are
the salvation of our post war disturb
ances. People are not working as they
used to work, and they are not saving
as they used to save. They are work
ing less and spending more. Now,
friends, in all seriousness, this condi-
toin ought not to exist here in Barre,
and we must not let it exist We haye
always had reputation for working
and saving, and that accounts for our
unusual prosperity to-day and our har-
monious industrial relations. But we
must not get ayaricious. We must not
be selfish and enyious of each others
prosperity. We must realize that their
prosperity is our prosperity, that our
interests are mutual and inseparable.
] thank you all for your attention to
these little letters, which were intended
to carry point in saving, in a catchy,
amusing readable style. Remember
that / am at your service, always.
