Gel Running Water into the
House.

There is little need for the average
farm homes being without running
water. If the most nearly perfect sys.
tenn cannot be afforded, there surely
is a less expensive system that can be
had. If we'll planned before hand it
need not necessarily lead to waste to
install substitute equipment.
An ordinary force pump at the
well, connected with a tank in the at
tic, can be made to furnish running
water at the kitchen sink, the hot wa
ter tank, and a full equipment for
the bathroom and toilet. If all Of this
equipment cannot be afforded at one
time, one can put in the pump, the at
tic tank, and the kitchen sink with
the necessary connections probably
for less than $50. AS more money be-
comes available one or nor of the
bathroom fixtures can be added un-
til that is complete.
Therefore we feel justified in urg-
ing every f~arm-owning family not to
delay putting running water into the
home. Begin with that portion of a
good system that can be afforded.
And then add to it year by year, un
til the system is completed-Pro-
gressive Farmer.

Whereas, The great and supreme
ruler of the universe has in His in
finite wisdom removed from among

That the sudden removal of such a
life from among our midst leaves a
vacancy and a shadow that will be

prove a serious loss to the commune

Protect Your Property.

The cheapness of lumber in the old.
days and the shortage Of cash led
many good farmers into habits of
carelessness in the handling of an inn
portant part Of their property, the
farm buildings. So long as lumber
was seemingly cheap and SO long as
the good, durable heart-pine timber
of a few years back was available,
there seemed to farmers to be little
reason for painting. The lumber was
so durable that the damage by decay
seemed inappreciable. And on many
farms available money was needed
so badly for other things that the
house, the barn, and other buildings
went implanted.
But the quality of lumber avail
able in most parts nowadays is no
longer Of the heart-pine variety
While there still is some Of this kind
to be had, the average farm user of
lumber gets a far different grade.
The sap-growth lumber ordinarily
available now is so porous and so,
readily absorptive of water that it
offers the best of living conditions
for the agents of decay. And such
lumber, if allowed to remain unpro-
tected, deteriorates so rapidly that
the sound plank of today is soon a
spongy, crumbling mass.
! With the ever growing secretly of
f, lumber and with the present day
prices for new lumber or lum-
Der of inferior grade, it is imperative
that every man take steps to save
what he has. Paint is the n re-
course. Instead of being a luxury,
paint is in reality a necessity. Money.
expended for paint and its proper APP
plication pays a handsome dividend
in the prolonged life of the building
or the farm implements.
Like other things, paint can be mis-
used. Painting when lumber is moist
may be worse than useless, inasmuch
as the paint will tend to seal the mois-
ture inside the wood, allowing it to
escape much more slowly and thus
prolonging the period of activity Of
the decay organisms. Painting heart
pine or resinous lumber before it has
been exposed long enough for the res
inous materials to disappear lessons
the value of the paint. One would
hardly think of painting without US
ing a printing coat. Painting the iron
parts of implements without first
thoroughly cleaning them and freeing
them from rust is poor protection.
Paint, properly applied, is n Of
the best investments a farm owner
can make. Buildings or implements
unprotected will not last. It isn't a
question of what is good enough for
you Or good ensgggba6esyr44a4h suHf pBBScf=

so prominently mentioned as the choice
of the Green Mountain State. Mr.
Redmond was born in Charlotte In
1861. He prepared for college at the
st. Johnsbury Academy and graduated
from the University of Vermont IN
1886. He began the practice OF law
in North Troy in the year 1891, re-
moving to Newport two years later,
where he has been a successful at
torney for 27 years.
He was prominently identified with
Vermont's educational system having
been supervisor of schools as we'll as
teacher. He was for some time chair
man of the public service commission,
known at one time as the railroad
commission, before it was given juris-
diction over all public service corpora
tions. He was also for time report
er Of decisions of the supreme court
of Vermont, his work being OF the
highest order. He is counsel for the
Central Vermont railroad and has had
many cases for the Grand Trunk
Railroad, also many important clients.
Mr.. Redmond can we'll be classed
as a self-made man. He does not
care for publicity and was reluctant to
give out information for the press
when interviewed at his office by "a
reporter of this paper. He said he
had no fear of enemies but was sus-
picious of friends, as many times
friends would overdo things.

kept in the closest touch with public

his locating in New York, and sever

Buildings of Henry Clifford
in Village Burned With
Heavy Loss

The little village of Coventry was
the scene of another serious fire on
Thursday afternoon which destroyed
the house and barn of Henry Clifford
together with many of the household
furnishings, also quantity of hay,
farming tools, wagons and sleighs
stored in the barn adjoining the house.
The fire started early in the after
noon and was first discovered in the
upper chambers, at all appearance
having originated from the chimney.
Mrs. Clifford had started fire in the
stove and had stepped outdoors to
join her husband who was painting
his auto truck. just across the road
from the building, the fire breaking
out shortly after. A large force of
men in the villages soon gathered and
succeeded in saving the larger part
of the household goods. Famed by
the strong wind, the fire quickly
spread to the barn, and the buildings
were mass of flames. The men
then directed their efforts to save the
residence of Walter Minkley, recently
purchased of A. D. Thursber, it being
only few feet from the burning
building, fire catching quickly in the
end and jet. The men worked like
beavers but with the intense heat it
was losing fight and they were with
drawing from the task when the New
port city combination fire truck, which
had been called by phone, swung into
view and was quickly at work.
The pail brigade was again in ac-
ton carrying hundreds of pals of
water from the river which run close
to the house, to the roof of the build
ing. After an hour of one of the
hardest fights ever witnessed the
house was saved, the damage being
confined to the outside end of the
building. The truck poured a contin-
uous stream of chemical on to the end
of the house until three large tanks
had been emptied.
The people of Coventry were loud
their praise for the work accomplished
by Chief Green and his four men,
who accompanied the truck.
Much credit is due Clifford Slog-
gett who plotted the truck over six
miles of road which in many places
was filled with holes and deep ruts,
arriving at the fire in Is minutes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Minkley whose house
was saved were away at the time of
the fire. Much sypathy goes out to
Mr.. and Mrs. Clifford in their serious
loss as they had but very small in
surance. The work of the ladies of
Coventry who supplied the fire fighters
with sandwiches and hot coffee were
greatly appreciated. The house
saved was for many years the home
of Mrs. Burt, who now is living with
her son, E. r. Burt of Newport.

THINK

"There is no expedient to which a
man will not resort to avoid the real
labor of thinking" says Sir. Joshua
Reynolds. And Thomas A. Edison
says it is true.
"There is hardly day that l do
not discover how painfully true it isl
says Mr.. Edison. cit is because they
do not use their thinking powers that
so many people have never developed
a creditable mentality. The brain
that isn't used, rusts. The brain that
is used, responds. The brain is ~ex-
actly like any other part of the body;
it can be strengthened by proper ex-
ercise, by proper use. Put your arm
in sling and keep it there for a
considerable length of time, and when
you take it out you find that you can't
use it. In the same way, the brain
that isn't used suffers atrophy."
Mr.. Edison claims that the brain
can be developed, just the same as
the muscles can be developed, if you
mind to think. These statements
were made by Mr.. Edison to a writer
for the American Magazine and are
so important we want to pass them on
to the readers of our paper.
Mr.. Edison is a man who thinks and
spends years in working out some of
his great problems. These are days
when boys and girls must think. Use
your mind and develop your talents
Our country expects greater things
of boys and girls today than ever be-
fore. Learn to concentrate your mind
while in school, in your work, in your
play. Think what you are doing and
train YOUR mind to see what the eve
sees. Learn to think and you will be
successful and credit to your coun-
try.
