His Views on State Highways

His Views on State Highways
Every one the State of Vermont is in favor of good
roads hardly two agree to the best to get
them Merely talking about good roads won't help things
much Who's got real plan? Who's prepared to give
new DEAF in building good roads? Who's running for
governor without consulting the political road machine in
the State of Vermont?
Not Mr.. Emery whose district has the best roads in
the state because the present road commissioner lives there
Not Mr.. Rabbit, who merely proposes to extend the
present system and reappont the present highway
missioner;
Not Mr. Hardness, whose campaign ceners about es-
tabshng new industries for Vermont and letting the roads
take of themselves
In his various speeches. Mr. Agan has pointed out that
bad roads standard cent faster than good
roads, that the difference the cost of gasoline about
20 per cent, to say nothing about tires.
Figuring 10000 Vermont cars at $1,000 EACH this
yearly loss runs into something like 100000 year.
Worth saving, isn't il?
What's the Agan plan? It's told in two words:
SURAFACE and DRAINAGE
Nothing new about that you say? True enough,
France has had roads of the gas-savng upkeepsavng type
for years French good roads helped to win the Mr.
Agan favors the French plan.
What's the French plan? Merely deep bitches and side
drainage with good surface your money can buy,
waer-prooed if possible That plans good for roads,
gravel roads and dirt roads It's good for selected highways
county highways cross-stae highways and town highways
tells the whole story bad VS. good roads and how
to get them.
Costs money, you say? True again. but we've got the
money to spend and can get much more if need and
show something in the way of improvement.
If motorcar owners could save any part of that So 0O0
600 wouldn't they be willing pay tax? Wouldn't you
be glad to have money spent for roads and cross
roads?
AS matter of fact we're not using all the money
raise now, due to various There is money
the state treasury right than the highway department
knows what to do with.
Ordinary folks paying all the they can stand
at present what ais tax system not the lack of
thing to tax but the unequal way that assessed
man buys $4,000 house and is assessed-say $780,
At $3.50 the grand list the tax his house would be
$780, man buys $4,000 and he pays probably $40
altef
that. Anything right about that?
Once more: The light car, which costs less than $1,000
pays horse power tax of $40 The big heavy expensive
which costs than five times much and Injuries
the highway ten times much pays perhaps $40 Is that
fair distribution of the burden?
Mr.. Agan heavy car and he says No!
So here's program: Better roads by better methods:
more tax if necessary, by readiustng the burden No
bonded debt No heavier burden the ordinary taxpaye
Has any one else better plan?
Has any other candidate any definite plan?
If you want change vote for Agan If you want the
same sort OF roads you've got vote for his OPP

ARRESTED AT EGG HARBOR

Philadelphia, Aug. 3.-Postal in
spectors who admitted today they ar
rested man at Egg Harbor, N. j.,
yesterday in connection with the kid
mapping Of the thirteen
child of Mr.. and Mrs. George II.
Coughln, Of Norristown, Pa, on June
2, expressed the opinion they had the
right man. All efforts to learn the
identity of the prisoner, who is said
10 be foreigner, or where he is be-
ing held, have proved futile, the gov
ernment agents declining to furnish
further information regarding the
case. Neither the Coughin family
nor the Norristown authorities have
been advised of the arrest and they
declared they knew nothing Of it cy-
cept what they had read in the news
papers.
Chclf Postol Inspector George Leon
ard, Of the Philadelphia district said
ne believed the arrest would eventual
~ lead to the recovery of the missing
child. The man under detention is
declared to be the one who wrote n
nall dozen letters to the parents of
the child, signing them "Thc Gran" 4"
and demanding $4,000 be left under n
deserted trolley station at Swcdcland,
near NorrStown, as ransom for the
return of the child. Coughlin fol-
lowed the instructions by leaving the
money at the designated place at mid
night Junc IA, believing the writer to
nave been the kidnappcr, as he accu-
rately described the room from which
the child was taken.
The money disappeared and nothing
further was heard from "rhc Crank"
until last week when the family re-
cciVcd letter making further de-
mandS. Leonard said inspectors are
now running out clues leading to the
whereabouts of the child.

BABY CONFERENCES
WELL ATTENDED

The results of the Bnby Conferences
conducted at Summerton, New Zion
ana Manning during the month of
July by Miss Ruth Moore, Public
Health Nurse, were gratifying and en-
couraging. Gratifying because of the
unusually good showing made by the
children. Encouraging because of the
cooperation on the part of the moth
ers, the physicians, the local commit
tees and the public in general.
Inc Local Committees ADVERTISED,
each conference in advance, making a
house to house canvass to inform eacb
mother about the conference. They
provided transportation for mothers
and children who could not have at
tended otherwise. At the conferences
they assisted in receiving, distributed
ii.eiaCure ana acted as secretaries. The
physicians gave their services as ex-
amlners and coopcrated with the nnrse
IN every way possible.
At the Summerton Conference,
which was held on July 18th. there
were thlrty-onc children examined. In
New Zion, where the Conference was
hed on the 10th, there were thirteen
children. This number would have
been much larger had it not been that
work IN tobacco kept many awav,
SIXTY children were brought by their
mothers to the Manning Conference
on the 9th. Miss Helen Fenton. Bis
sfict supervisor: was present at Sum-
merton and New Zion and assisted
Miss Moore
Exhibits of proper food for child
reN uhder SIN years, charts on infant
wei1are, patterns for baby clothes and
kiddlc koops were shown at each con
terence. At New Zion an interesting
feature of the exhibit was a plav pcn
made by two little boys of Gable eight
ana ten years old. An iceless refrie
orator was demonstrated at Manning.
At all of the conferences literature on
child welfare was distributed and
mothers were given diet slips cover
ing the needs of their children, Each
mother was given a copy of the record
OF examination of her child and dur-
llcate of this is filed in the Office Of the
County Nurse.
Many interested visitors who did not
Erlng children were present at all of
Lhe conferences and they have express
ed themselves as being much pleased
with the splendid work done.

late Saturday of the Interstate Com
mcrce Commission to grant railroads
rate increase soon was exhausted
and the bear faction, usually success
ful of late, renewed it's attack on
prices.
Representative railroad stocks i'm
proved from ! to 8 1-2 points, with
sympathetic gains of large propor-
tions in many spccialties but spccial
stocks were singled out by the bears
for their effect on the general list
and when such favoritcs as the stccls,
motors, shippings and oils crashed
through their recent low levels, rail
roads also became affected and sur
rendered their early advances.
The bull faction was considerably
discouraged by this turn of affairs,
and although hope had been enter
tanned that the market was only
waiting for the decision on freight
rates to inauguratc permanent up
ward swing, the ease with which
prices went off when pressure was
applied caused general revision of
speculative sentiment.

blespoonful Of minced celery or few
dried leaves, 0ns-half teaspoonful Of
paprika and two teaspoonfuls Of salt.
Wash the peas and soak them over
night in cold water. In the morning
pour Off the water and put them into
the soup kettle with three quarts Of
water. Place over the FIRE and bring
to the boiling point. Pour of this wa.
ter and add four quarts Of boiling wa
ter. and let the peas simmer for four
hours. Add the celery the last hour
Of cooking. Cook the onion and drip
pings slowly for half an hour. Drain
the water from the peas and save the
water. Add flour, water and season
Ing and cook half an hour, stirring
often. Mash the peas. rub through q
sieve, and mix with the other ingredt-
ents. Cook 20 minutes and serve hot.
Scotch Broth.-Take three pounds Of
mutton, two tablsspoonfuls Of pearl
barley. two tablespoonfuls Of minced
onion, two tablesposnfuls Of minced
turnip, the same of carrot and minced
celery, and salt; ono tablespoonful Of
