make the w, c. T, U. believe that its
warfare aga nst alcohol is accomplish
ed and that law enforcement need
not be our great objective.
Our chief danger lies in the apathy
and indifference of many good people
who aided in securing the law.
An unescapab obligation, Miss
Gordon declared, rests upon every law
abiding citizen brayely to cooperate
with federal and state enforcement
officials and to work for the ection
regardless of party afliliat ons OF
candidates who bel eve in prohibition

Today she added the United States

NEW CONCRETE ROAD
GIVEN SEVERE TEST
Heavy North Adams Trolley Car Jumps
Switch and Barely Scratches"
Surface Of SA'eet

Contractor C. b. Lindholm believes
that the concrete paving that he has
been putting IN on Bennington streets
has been given a severe test Late
Tuesday one Of the double truck cleo
trio cars running between Bennington
and North Adams jumped the switch
and ran for some distance over the
pavement. The concrete has not yet
become thoroughly seasoned but in
spite of this fact the road was not
damaged Where the car first left
the rails the fange on the wheels
cut into the concrete leaving mark
like a deep scratch but during the
remainder Of the Distance travelled by
the car its course is hardly traceable.
'It1is estimated that the ear
weighed 2S tons aud it Is the general
belief Of persons who have had ex-
perience In road construction that no
other material than concrete would
have come through such n severe test.
u Is probable that brick would have
been crushed at every spot touched
by the car wheels, What the car
would have done to an ashaltum road
is not known but 1t is not difficult to
imagine the wreckage that would un-
doubtedly have resulted.

IOWA FARMERS WILL
BURN CORN FOR FUEL
Big Crop, No Market in Sight and
Freight Rates too High They
Tell |. c. C.

Washington Aug. is Iowa farmers
are attempting to mature the largest
corn crop in the history of the state,
with no prospect OF market and Min
nesota farmers are preparing to burn
their corn this winter instead Of buy
ing coal. farmers inform the Inter
state Commerce Commission in It's
investigation of freight rates on grain
and hay.
Railroads, by maintaining abnormal.
ly high freight rates, will lose the
traffic on the coal which the farmers
would use II they could sell their corn,
as we as that on the unsold grain.
T. r. eastman, Minnesota farmer
told the commission
Lower freight rates on grain and
hay he said in replying to questions
by members Of the commission, would
increase the volume of traffic, not only
in those commodities but the increase
would be reflected in the added pur-
chases by farmers OF machinery
household goods lumber and other
necessities.

Remarkable Improvement Noted
in Condition al the End of
Two Weeks in Vermont

Put me on the list for next year.
Good bye!" The southbound flyer
Wednesday afternoon pulled out OF
North Bennington with the AZ Fresh
Air children from the big city who
have been having the time Of their
lives at different homes In this vii
lage, North Bennington, SALISBURY
and Arlington during the past two
weeks.
AS the train with the little hands
waving at the car windows whirled
around the curve Just south of the
lstation several women on the platform
were seen to wink rapidly and to dab
their eyes with their handkerchiefs.
Apparently not all of the enjoyment
OF the two weeks had been exper-
fenced by the kiddies. Likewise it
was evident that not all the regrets
because the outing of two weeks had
come to an end and were on their
way TO New York. Furthermore, the
scene on the platform once more
proves the old rule that the recipient
of a kindness is not the only one bene-
fted
1t would have taken long hunt to
find child in the bunch wearing the
same clothes in which he or she left
the city two weeks ago. Most OF them
were loaded down with bundles and all
had bouquets of flowers. One Of the
striking features that came to the
surface while the children were In
Vermont was their passionate love for
flowers, They carried them in their
hands whenever they could possibly
secure them and even salvaged those
that had been wilted and had been
thrown away.
Physical Improvement was noted in
practically every one of the children.
One little girl, who was weighed when
she arrived and also at the end Of the
two weeks. was foxnd to have gained
six pounds, and she was little girl at
that Bennington awomen who came
in contact WITH the children during
their stay found them all anxious TO
return to this vicinity another year,
which ia certainly a Recommendation
for the homes at which the little folks
lived while on their outing.
