Good Roads Advocated
at Conference

having level of 10 feet on the ap-
proach to the bridge to prevent
pounding" when an automobile run
ming at high speed struck the
bridge.
Nj. Bates spoke of how the Fcder-
al government was aiding the state
in building good roads. He said that
rVemont's allotment from the nation
al treasury for the five year period
was $1,244,000. This was apportionod
according to the area, population and
road mileage Of each state. In allot-
ing this money to the various coun-
ties in the state on the same plan Mr..
Bates said he had set aside
$183,G35.31 for Caledonia county.
Federal projects had already been
develo ped in HardwicE- and Barnet
and third project was under con
sideration. After road is built by
the joint expenditure of the Federal
and state money the state has tc pay
for its maintenance. Mr.. Bates
thought eventually this would be
such a problem that the Federal gov
eminent would have to keep the
roads in repair. He said he had a Vi
sion that many of those present would
live to see the day when Federal con-
structed roads extended from state 10
state, and that the projects in Ver-
mont were built with the hope that
eventually they would all be connect
ed as trunk lines. Answering. the
question as to where the public came
in that did not live on these selected
highways and state roads, Nj. Bates
sail chat the state had an appropria-
ton OF SIS, 900 to be used exclusively
on unsolicited highways
Nj Bates spoke in closing of the
gift to the state of the Federal
trucks that were either used Or built
to use in the war. He said Vermont S
allotment was 101 trucks, many Of.
them absolutely new, and that a ga!
rage costing $4,000 had been built
at Montpelier to house them when
not in use. The state has already re-
ceive d 81 of these The trucks when
received were not equipped for road
work and had to have new bodies and
ot'1cr changes to make them suitable
for peace rather than war purposes.
He thought the towns should pay a
fair price rental for the use Of these
trucks and the highway department
had decided to charge a rental Of s.
o da.v for the trucks, the town to pay
for the oil and gasoline and to pay
the wages Of the driver which the
state would furnish. He urged the
town officials to arrange their road
work so that all towns that desired
could use these trucks during the
season when road construction could
be done at the best advantage.
Commissioner Bates left for New
port Thursday morning where the
annual road conference will be held
with the officials of the various towns
of Orleans county.

Tn. Maple Sugar Industry
(Rarrn TinneS(

a contract has been let for the con
stluction in St. Johnsbury of maple
sugar factory having a capacity OF
turning out three carloads of products
. day. This development is likely to
have a strong effect toward the build
ing up Of the maple sugar industry
all over tn state and, in fact, through
the northern part Of New England
and New York, for it will take an 2X-
tensivc lot Of maple sugar operations
to keep such large factory going
to anywhere near the capacity. Yer
mont farmers ought to find plenty Of
outlet for their product, but they Will
have to have better weather con-
ditions than they have enjoyed ,hu5
fer this spring if they arc TO make
much money.

The Randolph Herald and News
presents a regular sob picture OF
distracted husband rushing around
after small dose OF Whiskey or
brandy to carry q sick wife through
the crisis of pneumonia, without be-
ing able to procure drop from any
body, and then sitting down by hcr
bedside to watch the last tlutte@lng
breaths and muse on the unaccoun--
abilities of temperance legislation.
When it is remembered that during
the agitation for the prohibitory
amendment, notable physicians with
OUT number were quoted as declaring
that 10 end Of stimulants far better
than alcohol in any emergency are
known to medical science, the idea
of that distracted husband brings TO
mind the story Of the Irishman, who
stuck his head out Of a car window
one day TO ask if anyone on the plat
firm happened to have pocket hG k
Of Whsky, a woman on the train
having tainted. When a flask vas
handed up to him, he took long
pull on it and remarked as he hand
ed it back that it always upset him
terribly to have woman faint.

Tic story Of how the orGer of

inspiring narratives that have come
out Of ten war. As told before
The House committee on education by

shows a combination of sympathy and
practical assistance that deserves to
stand as a model. Finding itself ut
the signing of the armistice with IN
appropriated funds, the commission
selected from numerous Suggestions
for the disposition of this money the
plan of aiding in the work of The
board for vocational education. The
sum of 100000 was set aside for dis
purpose, and any additional sum Of
100000 was made available as re-
volving fund to be lent to young men
in training who are in need of aid.
There were many soldiers who were
unable to enter training because they
did not have money for their first
months expenses. What have been
the results? OF The total Of $4,000
men in training under the vocational
board, no fewer than 22,574 have re-
ceived help from the Eks. The
amount loaned to them has reached
over 100000, Of which over 100000

Pneumonia Remedy
Direction Given

A simple remedy for pneumonia,
which is said to have been effective
In the cases of numerous patients,
some OF whom have been given up to
die. is suggested by II. G. Holman,
president of the Hoffman Loan and
Trust company of Salt Lake. The re-
medy is as follows:
Make hot poultice OF corn peal,
sprinkle rubbing alcohol (Which MAY
be obtained at all drug stores) on
the poultice and apply on the chest
of the patient; change often. so as
not to allow the application to grow
cold; continue until patient shows
signs of relief and is considered out
of danger.

WHY So?
Communicated

Mrs. A. sells to the stores a guam
tity of eggs. weighing, say one-fourth
more than the same quantity Mrs. b.
sells; yet both receive the same
amount in money or goods for their
deal. We think this unfair, and sug-
gest that eggs ought to sell by weight
and not by number. which would
be fair to both buyer, seller and con-
sumer.
Furthermore: We have electric
meters placed IN our homes for the
purpose of measuring the amount OF
light We burn, yet, should one use
but so cents worth. month. one
must pay the company not less than
a dollar, or be threatened with ex-
clusion from the service.
Nov, considering that said Electric
Company IS able TO pay little better
than per cent, per annum, to us
stockholders, together with good sal
aries to it's employees, and with q
good profit on the numerous electri'
cal devices they sell. we think they
ought to be content to -. the price
of light go ct just what the meter In
dictates. and nothing more.
This would be an incentive to thrift
and economic conservation. so much
needed al present. and would be In
good keeping with the general earn
paign now going on against unjust
and extortionate profiteering.
