CURRENT COMMENT
Taking Off Hats to Old C. v.

An unexpected example Of enterprise
was shown this summer by the New
England railroad which :, nsld"rsi
the most inert of all. Through the
change in Boston & Maine schedules
ON account of daylight saving, direct
communication south bound in the
daytime between Montreal land many
Vermont points and this city was
cut off. The only available route is
by way Of the Central Vermont tram
between White River Junction and
Palmer, where there is connection
for Springfield. Taking advantage OF
this opportunity to haul passengers a
longer distance, the Central Vermont
advertised the route conspicuously in
its summer timetable, and every day
this summer passengers have reached
Springfield by this route. For once
the other railroads must take off their
hats to the Central Vermont.-Spring

II is odd enough that asbestos mines
should be found in a place named
Eden; yet Eden, VT, is said TO have
some Of the finest asbestos deposits
in the country, which are about to be
opened up for commercial purposes.
Asbestos has been mined in Vermont
for many years, but the development
Of the operations has been by no means
on the same plane as operations in
granite and marble. However, the di-
,ersity of uses to which asbestos can
be put makes it seem probable that
the operations in the Vermont quar-
ries will reach much more extended
form within the next few years, or as
soon as the industrial life Of the coun-
try shall have reached normal proper
tons Vermont's asbestos mines may
become almost As famous as the states
granite and marble deposits. In that
case the commercial life of the state
win assume much greater activity and
a corresponding prosperity will some

hoped. therefore. that the operations

larger scale than usual viii pan out

GOOD Use OF THE AIRPLANE.

If they discover ways in which the
airplane can be put to practical use,
the day when the heavier-than-alr
machine will become common thing
will be brought much nearer. A step
forward was made the other day at
Hampton Beach, N. H., when party
of bathers were caught in the deadly
undertow and were carried far out
from the beach line. When life
saving party started out in boat 1t
was found that the boat was unsea-
worthy, necessitating the return OF the
life savers to the beach, after which
a resourceful member of the party sug-
eested blown up automobile inner
tubes. The tubes were some distance
away. Here is where the airplane
came into play. An airman cranked up
and flew to garage, obtained some OF
The inflated inner tubes, flew back to
the beach ana tnen over the "dtSi
where several persons were struggling
in deep water. The airman dropped
the tubes to the water, and the IN
fiated circles were seized by most
of the members Of the party and all
except one of the endangered people
were rescued. The use of the air
plane in this instance was demon
stration OF practical development in
air navigation that win prove invalu-
able in countless other instances. As
the result of the rescue at Hampton
Beach, no beach resort will count IT.
self well equipped unless it has an arr
plane with which to fly out over the
water and drop inflated inner tubes to
endangered persons, besides doing 9TH
er Jobs about the beach. It was a
happy thought on the part OF someone
at Hampton Beach.

Barre's school population >seems to
be holding its own, if not doing some,
what better than that. A first-day
enrolment of 527 in Spaulding high
school, with prospects of increasing
that number quite materially within a
short time, is the largest ever recorded
at the school on an opening day and
speaks we'll for the reputation OF the
school. As a matter of fact, the ex-
cellence of Barre's school system is a
strong agency toward maintaining the
progress of the whole community, as
many families are constantly being
attracted to the city as place OF
residence because of the advantages
along educational lines.

Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, sug-
gests that the governors OF New Eng
land states find cure for the ills OF
the railroads of the section. Senator
Walsh may have been trying to be
sarcastic or he may really have in
tended his suggestion as it appears on
the surface; but he did not take into
consideration, perhaps, that the COVER
nors of the New England states have
considerable problems of their own to
figure out and that they are not by
any means experts on the rehabillta'
ton of railroads. Because they happen
to be governors of the New England
states does not qualify them as ex'
perts on railroad matters.

drift of part of that tendency 10
the establishment of branch factories
of various concerns already in oper-
alton. In some respects location in the
smaller communities was found to
have its advantages for the manufac'
turing concerns. Those advantages
WILL in the main, be found present
when the manufacturing concerns be-
gin to feel the impetus Of renewed
business life.

the past thirty-three years he has
continued to reside here.
For many years Mr.. Geisert was in
business in this city, but for many
years has been a faithful employee

August Geisert was a loving hus-

and eight children, William of
Duluth, Roy and Earl of Minneapolis,
Angelina of Coleraine, Hazel of

CONDUCTS FARM WITH
NO HORSES OR COWS

The horseless farm is in existence.
Not one single head of hive stock has
been raised for four years or used
on this 12,OOO-acre grain farm, which
is owned by Schaal & Shaal, twenty
four miles northwest of Winnipeg.
The farm is not only horseless, but
is cowless, sheepless and hogless.
History does not record whether cats
and dogs are owned there or are not,
but that does not count. All haulage
is, done by tractors, as well as plow-
ing, seeding, harvesting and thresh-
ing. There are three complete
threshing rigs, forty tractors each
pulling two fourteen-inch plows and
turning over an acre of ground every
two minutes. Tractors are used for
disking the coil for seed. Twelve
footdrills drawn by tractors seed GAO
acres daily. 1t would take 400 head
of horses to do the work of the farm
requiring the product of 1000 acres
of the land to feed the stock alone.
