Before the war the American child
had been educated to believe that it was
not quite nice and possibly a mark of
poverty to go barefooted in summer, al
though the stories of "Dad' when he
was small barefoot boy had their APP
peal. Perhaps the high cost of every
thing, especially of shoes may make a
change in sentiment. Many who grew
up in former days, recall with pleasure
their barefoot days. Boys and even
girls went without shoes and stockings
on ordinary OCCASIONS Chasing around
over Vermont S rugged hills had its adj
ventures and lucky the boy who had
not several "stubbed" toes in VARYING
stages of soreness, but this was part of
the price one paid for the freedom from
shoes.
This experience was not half as har-
minded by Mother that feet must be
washed. The average boy had rather
drop down to sleep on the porch or any
old place than be compelled to do such
task when he was dead tired and
sleepy. Some even thought bed ought
to be invented where a boy could hang
his feet over something and not have
to wash them.
When going in swimming in the creek
or somewhere, it facilitated quick un-
robing if one had no shoes to remove
Then, one could climb tree with far
greater ease without shoes and get over
fences quicker when retreating hastily
from someone's apple orchard.
If one has never gone barefoote6
he has never known one of the rea
pleasures of being boy.

Auto Camping Trips.
est. Adams Messenger.)


According to The Rutland Herald,
many out of-state tourists claim that
the highways in the Green Mountain
state are much better than some of the
surrounding sections. A new feature of
the tourist traffic through the state is
the large number of ears equipped with
tents and full camping outfits. This
mode of travelling makes possible an
enjoyable sightseeing trip for many
who might not feel that they could af-
ford lodging and meals for an entire
family every day at a first class hotel. -
-Brattleboro Reformer
1t is not only those who want to
economic that an auto camping trip
has its delights. 1t is an inexpensive
way of getting over the country; it is
also one of the most delightful and
it is real health restorer. Tired nerves
that were on edge calm down; sunken
places in the checks fill out, pale cheeks
become red and then darken with hea-
w tan or thick sprinkling of freckles
as the case may be; sleep comes without
any aid, and the man-animal improves

SOME LIGHT IN RUSSIA

1t will be reassuring to the friends of
democratic government to learn some
of the developments in Russia, the ma
ton that has been almost lost in the
darkness of its own prospects. Admiral
Kolchak, the head of the All Russian
government quite firmly established at
Omsk, has been quietly doing things in
Russia. He has organized an army that
so far has successfully combatted the
Bolshevik forces and has been gradually
increasing the territory under govern
ment control.
Kolchak has declared the policy of his
government to be radical decentrali-
cation of power in the reconstruction of
Russia. The local government is to be
made the real foundation of the political
structure of the country and the CEN
trail government is to exercise only gen
eral functions. This is quite similar to
the American plan of government and
is the most sane conception of liberty
under law that has come out of Russia.
Admiral Kolchak s success in wrest-
ing control of the Black Sea from the
Germans, when they were strong. and
his holding the reins of government dur
ing the period when revolution and no
government seemed to be supreme is a
! promise of better things for Russia.
, America will be pleased to see him ad-
vance to complete control of the Rus
sian people.
