Those who hung onto the old pung in
spite of the increased use of motor
vehicles even in winter must have
found it a mighty good thing to have
on hand when three feet or more of
snow laid along the roads. Shabby
and ancient looking, it may have been
taking a long rest in some cobwebby
corner, but when old Boreas gets on a
rampage the pung comes into its own
once more. 1t seems to have a faculty
of staying rightside up in snowdrift
that some other conveyances on run
ners lack.

That Boundary Suit.
bellows Falls Times. J

Rumor has it that Gov. Clement of
Vermont and Gov Bartlett of New
Hampshire, in conference at Portsmouth,
\. H., recently came to an understand
ing over the boundary dispute between
the two states and that as the result of
that understanding there is a feeling
here lin Concord, n. H. that not much
more will be heard about that suit and
that the Connecticut river as far as high
water mark on the west bank will remain
within the jurisdiction of New Hamp-
shire" OF course, the public of Vermont
will hear about the result of the confer
enee to the extent of being informed
what disposal has been recommended in
connection with the matter. The rumor
from Concord does not, we fancy, indi-
cate that the matter has been given a
quietus and that no official report will be
made. In due season Gov. Clement may
be expected to make known the progress
of the suit instituted between the two
states, for it is an official matter and one
, in which the people of the state are very
much interested.-Barre Times.

good news. The whole rumpus started
in Walpole town meeting and was fool

Hampshire has sued the state of Yer
mont to collect taxes on real estate which
always has paid taxes in the town o
Rockingham. The suit has already cos
both states many thousands of dollars

France has just adopted the measure

French cows are not so "'set" in their

According to the Boston Herald cen

American toy makers are said to be
making big bid to fill the world 5
markets with their products. In 1913
seventy-one factories were producing
toys to the value of $7,500,000. In
1918 this number has been increased
to 165 with production estimated at
$20,0O0,00O These factories, it is said
are making first class articles at a
comparatively low price. Two Vermont
towns, Brattleboro and Bennington, can
be listed as having given material aid
in putting this figure where it is.

THE LARGER VIEWS.

Since Vice President Marshall and
w J. Bryan have made public their
views of a proper Democratic plat
form two other citizens, Herbert Hoo /
yer and Elihu Root, have outlined po- |
ltieal platforms Mr. Root s outline |
is openly for the Republican party
while Mr. Hoover does not confne his
principles to party but enunciates them
Of these two men are broad but def
mite and appeal to the intellect of the
public
Mr.. Hoover bluntly says, 81 am not
in politics." But his principles are
laid down for political guidance.
Briefly summarized they are:
No scheme of political appointment
Of men to conduct the railways can
compare with the hard school of COM
petition which Sits out the best men,
A national budget to prevent waste.
Capitalization of public construction
in the department of the interior to
avoid the competition and duplication
of nine separate government agencies
bidding against one another for sup
plies.
Ratification of peace that confidence
may be restored and enable the coun-
try to reconstruct its economic life.
Re-establishment through organized
representation of personal cooperation
between employer and employee in pro-
duction and collective bargaining with
complete sense of obligation to bar.
gains entered upon.
The ideal and social philosophy OF
American democracy to overcome rad
icalism and reaction of groups and
factions.
/ Mr.. Root s proposals are:

Among the many political rumors
floating about the state is the persistent
one that Representative Porter II. Dale
is likely to enter the senatorial race
Dillingham; is certain to have opposition
provided he decides to defy time and
seek reelection, and in view of the posi-
bility that Vermont may be limited tc
one congressional district after the next
census Mr.. Dale doubtless thinks it time
to be providing against an office-less ole
age.
