Wanted Summer Board.

For a vacation we would go
To some place where the rates are low;
Where flies in morning do not bite
Nor .skeeters sing around at night.
Where we could rest our weary dome
Upon bed like that at home;
Where we could get fresh garden STUFF,
Where chickens are not old and tough.
And for a lake we also wish
Where we d be sure of catching fish.
A cool delightful, charming spot
Where it is never sizzling hot
Where we could not, at night or morn
Hear a single foot of an auto horn;
Where we could DRINK from bubbling
springs
And not absorb tadpoles and things.
Where every road was arched with
trees
And one could always find a breeze.
And one could on a picnic go
Where poison ivy does not grow.
To find such place as we We in view
We We looked the catalogues all
through.
Alas, we say ii with regret,
We haven t found the place as yet.

Yes, there is new third party
the fifth, as matter of fact-com-
posed of radicals, socialists and boilers
of every description. 1t assumes the
dignifed name of the Farmer Labor
party but it does not represent either
class. 1t in no sense represents Amer
icanism and more closely resembles
Russian Bolshevis.l than anything else.
A name applied to political organiza
tion about half century ago would
be more appropriate-the Know Moth
ing party. It need not be feared more
than the elements of destruction and
ignorance arc to be feared and its po-
litical influence will be as infnitesimal
as its cohesion in its national conven-
ton.

PAYING THE FIDDLER.

When it was officially announced the
government must pay the railroads of
this country over billion dollars de-
felt between income and operating ex-
penses during government control many
supposed that was the full expense of
government management. That such
is not the case is indicated by the state
mcnt of Senator Cummings, father of
the senate railroad oil, that the in
ability of the railroads to do the bhs-
mess ofsthe country is at present cost
ing the country every day more than
The German war cost the people any one
day.
This cost is placed upon the consum-
crs of this country by the failure of the
railroads to move the necessaries of life
from the producer to the consumer. The
unprecedentedly high prices for grain
and -four are not due to a shortage of
production, but to inability of the pro
ducers to get them to the markets. 1t
is reliably stated that large quantities
of last year crop of cereals are still
in the western farmers hands or in the
western elevators awaiting transPor-
tation These producers would gladly
turn these crops into reasonable
amounts of cash but cannot do it. Con-
sequently the eastern farmer cannot
buy as much as he needs and pays ex-
60 -ha% hn
This shortage of transportation is
due to the policy of not constructing
tracks and cars for the increased ser
vice demanded Between March 81 and
June 13 of this year the railroads
moved nearly a million more carloads
Of freight than during the same period
last year, so it cannot be maintained
they are not properly performing their
service. They are utilizing the facil-
tiles they have to better advantage
than formerly but the facilities are not
equal to the great increase there has
been in production.
Compared with the pre-war year of
1913 there has been an increase in pro-
duction of wheat of 90 per cent, of
coal IA per cent, of iron ore of 26 per
cent, of pig iron the same, of manu-
featured steel Al per cent and so on
through long list. But the railroads
have not been allowed to grow as
fast and they are inadequate for the
greatly increased volume of traffic.
As previously stated the consumers
have to pay for this in increased prices.
Therefore the railroad policy of the
country is of vital interest to every
resident of the country, however little
he may realize it. When the farmers
of this section realize this they I'M
doubtedly viii be more sympathetic
with the request of the railroads for
such liberal treatment they will be able
to build more tracks and more cars to
handle the tremendous traffic of the
present day.

continued in power for much longer
period than has been the average in
provincial politics in the Dominion.
Mr.. Murray was born at Grand Mar
rows, n. S., in 1861, and after receiv-
ing such schooling as his home town
afforded he went to Boston university
to secure training for the law. At
the age of % he was called to the
Nova Scotia bar and four years later
he made his debut in politics as an I'M
successful candidate for the provincial
legislature. The year 1889 saw his en-
try into public office as member of
the legislative council of Nova Scotia.
In 1891 he was appointed member of
the fiild administration, without port
folio. and FIVE years later he succeeded
Mr.. Fielding as premier.

high and noble birthright mentioned
by the governor.
In conversation with one press rep
resentative the governor said in part:
Look at that body of men and
women. They are my home folks, the
kind of people with whom was raised,
and of whom | am proud to be one.
They demonstrate that it is not neces-
sary to have great riches to be sue
ccssful, or as a starting point for the
building of character. They are splen-
did examples for city folks to follow.
1t would be greatly beneficial
to them if they could have more of. the
splendid spirit that lives in the coun-
try, if they had more of the sturdy in
dependence of the farmer. And it
would be of inestimable benefit to the
nation. My folks are happy and con-
tented They belong to themselves,
live within their income and fear no
man. y. The foundation of all
progress is in the soil. No people can
maintain or achieve greatness through
the neglect of the source of all prog
ress, the farm. A great ma
tion and its great men spring from the
soil. To keep close to the soil is to
keep close to all power"
Vermonters should remember these
words and so far as possible teach
thrift, understanding of the noblest
qualities of mankind, contentment, in
dependence and appreciation of the
sources of true greatness in our imrne
date environment Vermont cannot
hope to produce greater men than she
has in the past, but the greatest monu-
ment Vermonters of today can erect
is generation of men and women ed
ucated, trained and broadened by those
characteristics that all of its great sons
and daughters acknowledge to be the
foundation of their characters.

That great American institution, the
vacation season is well under way.
Trains, boats and automobiles are car
rying the big army of vacationists
hither and thither, away from home and
business, all with the same idea in
mind-to have change of scene and
air. The mountains, seashore, the coun-
try town and the farm all make their
appeal, and whatever place is chosen
is. generally opposite in its environ
ment to that of home. 1t is monotony,
not work, that kills and most EN-
ployers now look upon the vacation as
part of their business institution
which has proven to be a paying in
vestment. The vacationist is generally
glad to get away, he has waited a
year for the opportunity; he may have
what he terms the ''time of his life
during his play time, but on his return
he is often heard to make the state
ment that ''after all there's no place
like home. = That is just what a va
cation is for.
