furtherance of the Monitors sugges-
ton The Banner would inquire OF II
would not be a good plan for all the
rural towns of Vermont say Those OF
thousand population or less, to send
delegates to conference at some
central poin. and to undertake to ar
rive at concerted plan for their fu-
ture. The people of the larger towns
stand ready to aid and further move
ment OF the sort but do not know
where or how to begin. Business men,
professional men, labor unions and
others, when they have serious issues
to face, get together and consider.
1t would seem as though the rural
towns might profit by a similar un-
dertaking.

The readers of this paper win be
pleased IN learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment Halls
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces of the System thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing It's
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in the curative power of Halls
Catarrh Medicine that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that II fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Vermont is fullof small towns and
the situation confronting those towns
constitutes a real small town problem.
Decreasing population and increasing
taxes make the problem. Take the
good old town of Grafton as an illus
tration. The census of 1900 gave a
population of S04; the census of 1910
729, and a Grafton man states that the
census of 1920 gives only about 500
a shrinkage of third in ten years
This is the story in many, many OF
the so-ca led back towns, meaning
towns remote from a railroad. These
towns each year assume larger bur
den of taxation, but few of them can
raise the tax rate as fast as the cost
of running the schools and town gov
lernment increases. Is it any wonder
that the young, what few there are
move to more promising fields of en-
deavor? Is it any wonder that the
old and others are discouraged? What
! is to be done to revive these towns,
or aren't they worth reviving? Is the
population OF Vermont to be confined
to the valleys and along the railroads
and leave the towns in the foothills
to grow up to thistles and bushes p
Bellows Fails Times
Withou; questioning the serious
fact that Vermont has a small town
problem and that many of these towns
|are temporarily in Difficulty. The
Banner is of the opinion that the sit
uation is not as bad as 1t seems. The
population of the United States is
doubling every fifty years or less and
in the near future all tillable land
available near the great markets of
the east will be in demand at values
which will exceed anything their pres
ept owners ever dreamed. The rural
towns have assets In the shape of
farms which will make Vermont more
prosperous than it ever was before.
1t may take few years but in the
mean line the hill towns should not
lose their courage. They are not the
only ones that have difficult prob
lens to so.ve. The Banner is greatly
interested in plan proposed by the
Barton Monitor and reprinted in this
paper, suggesting that the rural towns,
without surrendering their identity
as Independent townships, as
