Food for Thought.
Barre Times.)

In the course of vigorous attack on
Ex-Governor Clement and Clements claim
of two million dollar surplus in the state
treasury on July l, 1921, Olin Merrill O,
Enosburg Falls. declares in the ,Burling
ton Free Press that Clements claimed sur
plus is only slightly more than half that
amount, that someone erred greatly in
unnecessarily saddling a 81 800 900 bond
issue on the state of Vermont that 40
cent direct tax was not necessary if the
bonds were to be sold, that Clements pro
posals of expenditure would thrust the
state 81, 80 2S into debt. that the budget
for 1871 was excessive. that the budget
should not be made up by persons con
nected with the outgoing administration
but by those who fill be closely related
with the new administration. that the
state needs a governor who will be general
manager of the states So, 1000, 600 year
business. that the governor should live at
Montpelier the year around. and that the
state should provide the governor with a
house. Taken all in all, there is not much
in Mr.. MerrilfS statement that could be
considered praising the Clement con
duct of the states business. Detlucting
the spirit of venom which seems to run
through the article. Mr.. MerrillS sugges-
tons furnish some food for thought.

plane was the flagship on this flight. /
had the captain with me.
Well. we left Acapulco on Friday morn
ing for Salna CRUZ and everything went
CRUZ and then we struck hard wind
storm. but everyone was very lucky and
got through it safely, but we had four
planes slightly damaged after getting in
side of the harbor. All planes were re
paired and ready To go again on time. and
we left there on Tuesday. Jan. IL. for the
Gulf of FOnSeca, a distance of 49, miles.
That was our longest one day flight. and
we made it in seven hours. The first 60
miles out of Salina CRUZ were very hard
as the wind was blowing ~ miles an hour.
We only stayed at FOnSeca over night
and left next morning for the Gulf of
Nicoya. We were again forced to stop
over one day on account Of the y CS and
were finally sent along without them to
Bhiha Horda. We left Bhiha Horda on
Saturday morning, Jan. IL, and arrived
IN Balboa four hours later, all II planes
in a perfect formation. 1t was wond-
full sight to all the people here as they
had never seen any such thing before. 1t
was also wonderful sight for the natives
all along the coast, many of whom never
even knew there was such a thing.
The captain was very much pleased
with the success of the trip. 50 was the
commander-in-chef and the navy depart
ment. 1t was the first trip of its kind and
was Itiu per cent strong as far as the F-.J-
Is goes. but now the story of the i'll
fated y Cs. They had trouble all the way
through and never will get to Panama as
they are now in their last resting place
in the briney deep with crews safe on
board two different ships They got into
bad weather in going from the Gulf of
FOnSeca to Gulf of Nicoya and landed at
sea. They made bad landings and dam
aged both planes so the cOmmander-in-
chief gave orders to sink them and bring
the crews on the Panama. so that ends
the story of the y &.
We don't know just yet what we are
going to do, but | think we are going to
leave our planes at Coco Solo on theAt-
lantlc side of the Canal and go back on
our, ship to San Diego instead of flying
back. We. will get all new planes when
we get back there
1t Is so hot l just don't feel like writ
ing any more, 50 will close for this time.
With love and best regards to all.

people of the state, and the efforts will no
doubt receive cooperation from the public
IN general. Within recent years the god
ct chance has found its way more and more
into the features of agricultural fairs in
Vermont and elsewhere until at the pres
ent time the gambling devices have be-
come a menace TO the good name and the
good will of the fairs themselves. A good
many peaople patronize these games
thoughtlessly, little realizing at the time
that the preesnce of these devices and
their open operation lower the tone and
benefits of the fair itself. In fact. the in
roads of the gambling element have al
ready been greatly detrimental to the best
interests of the fairs. causing a large
number of people to stay away and CON
tributing other unsatisfactory conditions
No doubt the state fair commission APP
preciated the increasing influence for evil
by the gambling inroads. as well as recog-
nizing the bad features of games of chance
in and of themselves. Hence the deter
mination to eliminate gambling Let's

We're worked out in Oklahoma City at a

Working without knowledge of the
English language, SPquoyah was an old
man when. at the end of 20 years of la
Dor. he gave to his tribeSmen an alpha
bet. In two years the CherOkecs were
raised from virtual illiteracy to Il degree
OF Cducation. and Sequoyah's achieve
ment has been heralded as one of the
greatest forward steps in the history of
the American Indian. Hailed as a
crazy Indian" SeqUoyah persevered and
finally reached his goal by forming a
character representing each of the 81
SyllableS of his language.

that while Mrs. Benson probably holds the
Vermont record. the fact also remains that
the quality of her product is such as to
command the most favorable comment.
Mrs. Benson, as a girl. was fascinatineIv
fond of cooking and this fondness has
grown into real love for the work. Peo-
pie often ask her if she doesn't get tired
OF dong the same thing day after day.
Her answer invariably is that she never
thinks Of getting tired and enjoys every
minute.
Before her marriage she was pastry cook
for the Jacobs bakery for two years. Aft
or marriage she was away from town some
six years until her husband died. after
which she returned here and did house
work for a few months before taking her
present position. Mrs Benson does every
particle of the work herself, from the
pairing of the apples and stoning the rail
sins to taking the products from the oven
or the frying-pan. /
