MRS. COLUMBUS
SMITH IS DEAD

Mrs. Harriet P. Jones Smith, wild
ow OF the late Columbus Smith, died
at her home, Shard Villa, in Salisbury,
at ii o'clock Wednesday night of pneu-
monia following only few days ill
mess. Mrs. Smith was S6 years old, and
while not particularly active publicly
she was widely known as widow of one
OF Addison county's wealthiest men.
Mr. Smith himself died November
20, 1909, at the age of 80 years, with an
acute attack of heart failure He was
largely interested in farming lands in
Vermont and in the West, and lived
during his later years at Shard Villa,
which is large stone house on mag
niicent estate of about 700 acres. He
graduated from Middlebury College in
lS42, and was admitted to the Vermont
bar in 1915. He made a speciality of
obtaining inheritances in Great Britain
and the Colonies for heirs in this coun-
try, and is said to have crossed the
ocean more than dozen times on such
missions. He was prime mover in the
famous Middlebury dashboard case.
He married Harriet P. Jones on
February p, 1866, and they had two
children, William J. and Mary Eliza
beth, both Of whom are now dead.
By the terms of Mr.. Smiths will his
large Salisbury estate was left for the
use of his widow during her lifetime,
after which it was to be converted into
an old ladies home, an arrangement
which will now probably be carried
out.
Ernest Kelly of Salisbury who has
been caretaker at the Smith home said
today that plans for Mrs, Smiths fu-
neral had not been completed, but SER
vices would probably be held at the
home and the body would be placed
in the fine mausoleum on the estate,
where already repose the bodies of Mr..
Smith and the two children.

THE SIDEWALK AND SLUM.

The farms Of the United States ful
nished two and a half million men tC
the army. Needless to say, they have
not all come back.
According to a report issued by the
state OF Nebraska, 1861 900 men will be
needed by that state alone to help In
harvesting the wheat crop.
The work OF rehabilitation is very
far advanced. A large proportion OF
the farm BOYS should be back on the
farms. They are not, In the state
Of New York $4,000 men left the
farms to join the %colors, and 5000 OF
them have gone back.
Many more have been freed from
the army, butlthey have stayed In
New York city. And that city re.
ports graver conditions due to unem
ployment than any other city in the
union. Conditions in Clevelani are
bad enough, bat they are worse IN
New York than any where.
Farm boys have decided to be city
boys. and join the ranks Of the un-
employed. If they obtain employ
ment, the expense Of living in the
city will leave them in the same posi-
tion financially at the end Of each
month as If they had gone back on
the farm. Wages may be higher In
New York-at all events If you are a
member OF a union, which most farm
boys are not-but that fact Is discount
ed by the increased cost of living in
the city.
But why should a farm boy want to
be a union member in a city? He
has more bosses there tn An he can
count. His employer is one, his 'cre-
man Is another, and each of half.a.
dozen union officers Is another. Even
his pals are his bosses. He never
knows If they are going to get him In
wrong with his employer, or with the
union officials.
On a farm he is closer to being his
own boss than any city employee.
and If he takes up land he can bring
that desirable condition to realization
"a dream which rarely Comes true ir
the city. Also, he Is the one maj
between the blue sky and the pit that
Uncle Sam cannot do without.
