Hrourd The World.

The old saying admonishes us to
elbow our own HORNS" but it always
sounds more like music to me when
the trumpet is handled by someone
else.
Not the least of life's burdens is
the high cost of keeping up with your
neighbors.
It's the easiest thing in the world
for timid girl to fool a man into
believing he'll have his own way af-
ter they're married.
Just as fast as it grows easier for
man to do without friends he finds
their number increased.
The per capita wealth Of the coun-
try is now $51.06, and we find our
selves shy only little more than
$40.
1t has been our observation that
it's useless for any man to seek a
steady job if he is not steady him
self.
As one man said yesterday, the
difference between a job and pro-
fession is about $50 week in favor
of the job.

VERMONT SUMMER HOME SITES

The Vermont State Publicity bureau
plans to concentrate its efforts to al
considerable extent the coming year
in a development of the summer home
idea
There are in Vermont approximately
500 mountains which equal or exceed 1000
feet in height and 400 lakes and ponds
large enough TO receive names and find
place on Vermont maps This di-
versiication of lake and mountain
scenery furnishes unequalled attrac-
tions to persons desiring a site for
cottage or a small farm. and there
is no town or city in the state which
lacks scenic attractions in abundance.
There are large number of persons,
particularly those III the teaching pro
fcssion. who have long summer vaca-
tious. Many business men desire to
establish summer homes for their fam
| lilies where they may spend their week
| end in addition to vacation OF a
few weeks. Vermont is sufficiently
near to the cities of southern New
| England and New York to furnish an
| ideal location for such summer Wis
itors. Lake Champlain extends along
the western border for more than one
hundred miles. The Connecticut river
forms the entire eastern boundary OF
the state, and the Green mountain sys
tenn reaches from the Massachusetts
border to the Canadian boundary line
In addition to the desirable sites or
the shores of lakes and ponds, there
are tens of thousands of acres of up
land property, on the slopes of hill'
and mountains, affording magnificent
views, which are of little present valu'
for agricultural purposes, and the sell
ing price is exceedingly low. Much o
this property may be utilized as site
for summer homes. There are, o
course, certain essential requirements
4 The view afforded must be satisfactory
. The location must be accessible. TIL
, water supply must be adequate an
the place must be within REASONABLE
! distance of some farm where milk
; eggs, and other necessary supplies ma,
be obtained
But these requirements may be salts
fed in many places in practically ever,
town in the state 1t is vitality i'm
portant, however, that prices shall b
reasonable. This is particularly tru

many mountain, towns the population
has decreased steadily for more tina
half a century. There is an opportun
itv to build up these waste places b
attracting summer residents. A CON

prices will bring purchasers. Grea

this matter. Unless prices are yer
