Dealers association, recently held in
st. Johnsbury, it was reported that the
demand for the finer and somewhat
more elaborate monuments was in
creasing constantly and that the pros
poets for the present calendar year were
Tor increased volume of business. 1t
undoubtedly is a fact that within re-
cent years there has been another
change of sentiment among the people
regarding the kind Of a memorial to
mark the last resting place of loved
ones. Half a century or more ago a
mere slab with inscription was consid-
cred sufficient monument" to the
members of ones family Then there
developed an inclination toward some
thing less dreary and less of the ''all of
a piece sort, there being a desire TO
secure something which would make a
cemetery bear less likeness to potter's
field with its rows upon rows OF small
headstones. The result of the inclina
ton was a change insthe shape of the
stone placed ON the grave although
there was not so much of change to-
ward the ornate or the beautiful. The
new style of memorial remained in
vogue for many years, and in the Older
cemeteries the stones are yet distinct
improvement on the slab headstone but
still many degrees removed from the
artistic monuments which have been
evolved under the delicate traengs of
the artist and the skilled handling of
the carvers of the recent years. Hide
Gus designs are giving way to the pure
Nv artistic. There is greater demand
for the most highly finished work with
the elimination of all defects Of work
manship as far as it is humanity pos
sible to do so. Stone of the highest
quality is being sought more and more
by the discerning public, which means
that more and more is the public mind
turning to Barre granite, than which
there is no superior
Under this growing demand for the
finest stone, the more artistic designs
and the highest quality of workman
ship, our "cties of the dead" are be-
coming more and more beautiful. They
are places of rest alike TO the living
and to the dead--to the living who de-
sire to spend time among the things Of
beauty in art while at the same time
they are communing with the departed
in fond memories. The bleak hillside
cemeteries with their gloomy and in
artistic tablets of stone are giving way
to places of unrivaled beauty The
landscape gardener, too, is adding his
skill to the general scheme of improve
ment and the aid which he is giving is
doing much to make more attractive
the place where we lay away our dead.
A cemetery of the present, modern idea
is not the resort of intensely gloomy
memory; its very surroundings seem to
awaken more happy thoughts in con-
nection with the departed
This is as it should be- There should
be no attempt at vulgar ostentation re-
sulting from great wealth; but there
should be tidy, well-kept greenswards
on the graves, artistic monuments,
whether large or small, clean-cut and
not too much lettering ON the monu-
ments, landscape environment that is a
joy to look upon, a whole that is pleas
ing to the eye and satisfying to the
inner consciousness.

If the Sims matter has done nothing
else. it has brought out that Rear Ad-
miral Henry I. Mayo, Vermonter, was
in supreme command Of the Z. $. naval
forces in the war. The impression was
quite general, we believe, that Rear
Admiral Sims was in command of the
naval forces, the impression having
been gained, no doubt, because of the
fact that Sims was in immediate COM
mand of the T. S. forces in European
waters and participated in most of the
naval conferences with our allies ON the
other side of the Atlantic ocean. 1t
comes from an authoritative source
that the famous Vermonter was really
at the head of the navy.

Stop UP the Hole, Sister!

A woman who lives on the second
floor of Crosby block has had an ex-
perience with pair Of rats the past
three DAYS which is somewhat out Of
the ordinary. A hole in the partition
which was left by plumbers afforded
access to the room, so ON Saturday
night she set mouse trap. The next
morning the trap had disappeared, and
since then a rat has been dragging il
about in the partition. During last
night the mate entered the room and
tried to drag laundry bag into the
partition. but the hole was a little too
small. The bag was damaged, however,
and several handkerchiefs probably are

Set Aside To-day
And Have Your Will
Made

In the event of unforeseen accident
and death, Will is of the greatest
value in the protection of property
and loved ones. BY VIII, property
may be left largely according to your
own wishes. If you do not leave a
Win, your property will be disposed of
according to the inheritance laws of
the state. in a manner which you
might not have desired.
Almost everyone realizes the value
of a Will, and plans at some time to
make one. In great many cases this
plan is never carried out.
To-day, while the matter is before
YOUR mind, is the time to have your
will drawn. Tomorrow you may not
think of it. See your lawyer to-day,
and have YOUR Will drawn.
