State to Advertise Summer House
Sites

The Vermont State Publicity Bu-
reau plans to concentrate its efforts
to considerable extent the coming
year IN development of the summer
homes idea.
There are in Vermont approximately
5OO mountains which equal or exceed
two thousand feet in height and 400
lakes and ponds large enough to re-
celve names and find place on Yer
mont maps. This Investigation of
lake and mountain scenery furnishes
unequalled attractions to persons de-
string site for a cottage or a small
farm, and there is no town or city in
the state which lacks scenic attract
ions in abundance
There is a large number of persons
particularly those in the teaching pro-
fession who have long summer vaca-
lions. Many business men desire to
establish summer homes for their
fanatics where they may spend their
weekend in addition to a vacation of
a few weeks. Vermont is sufficient
ly near to the cities of southern New
! England and New York to furnish an
ideal location for such summer visit
ors. Lake Champlain extends along
the western border for more than one
hundred miles. The Connecticut Riv-
er forms the entire eastern boundary
of the state, and the Green Mountain
system reaches from the Massachu-
sets border to the Canadian bound
airy line. In addition to the desir-
able sites on the shores of lakes and
ponds, there are tens of thousands Oh
acres of upland property, on the
slopes of hills and mountains, afford
ing magnificent views, which are Oh
little present value for agriculture
or forestry purposes, and the selma
price, if there is any, is exceedingly
low. Much of this property may be
utilized for sites for summer homes
There are, of course, certain essentia
requirements. The view afforded
must be satisfactory. The location
must be accessible The water supply
must be adequate and the place mus
be within reasonable distance of some
farm where milk eggs and Other
necessary supplies may be obtained.
But these requirements may be sat
isfied in many places in PRACTICAL!
every town in the state. 1t is vital.
important, however, that prices shall
be reasonable. This is particular.
true of the property in the upland re
gions. In many mountain towns tn
population has decreased steadily TO
more than half century. There i
an opportunity to build up thes'
waste places by attracting summe
residents A combination of attrac
! tive scenery and low prices will brins
: customers. Great frankness is nee
essary in discussing this matter. I'm
! less prices are very reasonable, Their

Advertisements will be printed il
all the state papers offering an OPP
portunity to advertise property of tn
nature described, free of cost in

CHAPTER vi
The Flying Frogs Fly

DALKY SAM fed swiftly, madly
ID through the woods. He wanted to
get far, far away from the supposed
magic of the feathcred flying frogs. And
Judge Owl, who was also afraid of the
magic charm in the bulging, goggly eyes
of the frogs, was urging him to 60 faster.
Judge Owl couldn't see well in the day
time, and he thought the maple sirup
kettle in which the frogs We're making
themselves sticky was, magic kettle
turning them into real flying frogs. He
hadn't noticed the torn feather bed
where the frogs were getting their bor-
rowed feathers.
Peggy aud Billy couldn't stop Balky
Sam until he was almost at the edge
of the woods. Then they told him and
Judge Owl what they had seen through
the crack In the sugar makers shed
and how the flying frogs were only
regular frogs with feathers stuck on
them. 70, -, ;,

mad clear through when he found that
the flying frogs were Just hopping frogs
and that their bulging, goggly eyes were
otmagic making eyes, but only regular
And Judge Owl was mad, too. He
had been shut up for three days by the
flying frogs, and during those three
days he had been very hungry and much
worried oyer what was going to happen
to him.
'I'll eat 'em," he hooted. 1T never
ate e'fa frog before, but I'm hungry
enough to eat an alligator"
"Hee.haw! I'll show 'em what it
means TO scare an army MULE" brayed
Balky Sam, and he raced back to the
sugar camp as fast as he had fed away
from II.
No frogs were in sight, for they had
all been changed into flying frogs and
had gone to Chief Fretful Frog in the
nests Of the birds. But Balky Sam
didn't know this, and in trying TO find
them he banged down the door of the

army mule, and Peggy and Billy had
been turned into feathered children.
Back to the nests of Birdland gal
loped Balky Sam, and when they got
there they found the trees swarming
with feathered frogs croaking away as
loudly as they could croak.
From homes in mire, we've moved up
Cro.ax Cro-ax!"
Chief Fretful Frog was perched on
branch.
"I'll show you all how to fly" he
croakcd.
Hoo Hoo! You bet you will"
screeched Judge Owl, swooping down
hind foot and his long fuzzy tail. The
tail came right off in Judge Owls claw,
for it was only string of pussy will
low blooms stuck together, but Judge
Owl hung on to the hind foot until he
was above fir tree. 3,
Now fly - hooted Judge Owl, and
he let Chief Fretful Frog fall. Chief
.Fretful Frog spread out his arms and
legs, but of course they weren't wings
even II they were feathered and down
came Chief Fretful Frog, bounding
from branch to branch Of the fir tree
until he hit the ground with a bump
that knocked all the croaks out of him
for a week.
'Hee -haw! Back to the bogs I'll
Kick you frogs" brayed Balky Sam,
and he swept down upon the frogs.
Now the feathered frogs had been
very brave when they thought that
their queer feathers and their talk of
magic were soaring Peggy, Billy and
Baiky Sam, but now that these big,
teathered creatures-which they didn't
know were the children and the army
mule changed as they themselves had
been changed--came rushing at them
the flying frogs didn't wait to try the
charm of their bulging goggly eyes.
They few--not as birds fly, but as
frogs fly, by leaps and bounds. And they
flew so fast that they reached the pools
in the marshes just one leap ahead of
Balky Sam. PUNK, plunk. plunkety-
plunk they dived into the water by
dozens, by scores. by hundreds until
there wasn't frog In sight. Every
frog was back home and glad to get
there.
