COUNTRY MEEkLrEs

One Of the notable speeches made at
association N Burlington was by
CORTLAND Smith II the American
Press association, representative Of
over 1000 country weekly newspapers.
According 70 Mr.. Smith the coun-
try weekly IS the one indispensable
newspaper adjunct Of our civilization,
both from the standpoint Of eommun-
ity service and advertising
"The country weekly" he said, "is
the only genuine cazh-in sales medium
in the United States. the one medium
through which the advertiser can &C.
tually trace sales and see that the nd
vertising Is selling the goods"
AZ TO service Mr.. Smith said that
nothing in a community could begin
TO render the service to that com
munity that Is rendered by the week
iy newspaper.
'There isn't a merchant in that
community" said Mr.. Smith, "who
doesn't owe the country weekly more
than he can ever pay. His bills for
advertising and printing don't begin
TO represent what he owes. Communi-
tics and merchants are actually made
by the newspapers, and yet most
country weeklies are just living and
that's ALL Every country weekly
ought to mack at least $4,000 year
instead Of being up against It all the
time"
Entirely apart from the business
aspect Of the country weekly prob
lens, il Is a fact that every great
movement, political or social, owes a
tremendous impetus and power to the
country newspaper-in which term
might now be Included the country
daily rs well as the country weekly
All that Mr.. Smith said about the
country wcekly's value and service is
true enough, but OF course the daily
newspaper in the small town renders
the same valuable service six days a
week instead Of once a week. In fact, 1
with two or three exceptions, the ser
vice rendered by the country daily in
Vermont is exactly the service render
ed By the weekly multiplied by six.
The woeklies, however, render a !
special and particular service in some
towns where the dailies don't really
penetrate. Vermont weekly newspa-
pers like the Island Pond Herald,
North Troy Palladium, Groton Times,
Londonderry sitter, Wilmington Times
and the local editions Of the Water
bury, Morrisville, Mortified, Ran
dolph, Essex Junction and Vergennes
newspapers are in very active and
genuine sense the outposts Of eivili-
zation. They hold aloft the torch Of
truth under conditions that represent
constructiveness and often real sacri- /
6ce.
Vermont and every state Of scat
tered populations owe more TO the
weeklies Of the small towns than they
are apt TO repay in the present gen
GRAFTON. Often not even respect !
able living is the reward Of such ef- /
forts, and always. practically without
exception, the country editor and the
country printer are the worst paid
type Of skilled labor in their COM
rnunity.
Few people realize the value Of the
reiterated slogan in print, yet the big
fortunes made by advertisers in the
past are a standing tribute to the
potency 81 the repeated Injunction
mostly in the columns Of the country /
xeeklics. II the advertiser can sell +

Gargoyle is a name given to a pro-
jecting spout, so placed that it drains
the roof gutter. The modern metal
pipes have superseded the use of gar
goyles to a great extent. In gothic
architecture these long and grotesque-
ly-carved spots have heads of men,
beasts or birds in preposterous COM
bination with bodies, paws and wings
of monsters. The gargoyles Of the
cathedral of Notre Dame are particu-

The principal source of the amber
supply is the coast of the Baltic sea,
more particularly in the vicinity Of
Konigsberg. Even in ancient times
this district constituted the "Klmber-
ley" of the amber world. At this
place amber, which ia really a min
erallzed resin Of extinct pine trees,
is freely washed up by the sea, espe-
cially after a violent storm. The fish
ermen use nets, with which they trawl
the shallow waters.
