The finance committee reported adversely on the bills to remove the tolls on all bridges in the state on which traffic tolls are now collected. Tho explanation was that the state needs the revenue. The bills vera rejected. zsThe same committee TO- ported against a. number of bills for taxation exemptions, such as those to relieve from taxation street rail ways in the hands of receivers.
 Other favorable reports were these. ---------------

IMPLEMENTS FOR
CLEANING HOUSE
Proper Tools and Materials Are
Essential for Performing Tasks
Easily and Quickly.
KEEP Them IN RIGHT PLACE
Ideal Arrangement Is to Have CON-
pete Set Stored in Orderly Man.
ner in Convenient and Well
Ventilated Closet

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
No matter how carefully the house
keeper plans her daily, weekly, and
Semiannual housekeeping, it can not
be done easily and quickly without
suitable cleaning tools and materials.
If they are kept together in one place,
time, bother and nerve strength are
saved. If they are given good care,
money is saved.
The ideal arrangement is to have
complete set stored in orderly fash
ion in convenient, well-ventilated
closet. Whether few or many kinds
are needed, it is economical to buy
well-made, durable tools and keep
them in good condition and grouped
together. If possible, it is well to have
on each floor a supply of some of
the things most constantly used.
Give Tools Good Care.
As far as possible, cleaning tools
should be put away clean and ready
for use. Brooms, brushes and mops
should be hung by strings or screw
eyes fastened to the handles so that
the weight does not rest on the straws,
bristles or strings. Carpet sweepers
also should be set so that the weight
does not come on the brushes The
hair and lint which accumulates in
brushes, especially in carpet sweepers,
may be taken out with an old button
hook, coarse comb or old scissors.
Corn brooms may be washed in hot
soapsuds, but care must be taken rot
to let the water rust the wires which
hold the straws to, the handle
Bristle brushes may be washed with
luSewarm water and little ammonia

Something to
Think AbOut
YOUR SUPERSTITION
By F. II. WALKER

TT YOU read the cable news you saw
i few days ago an item from Bonn
bay which said that the stock and ex
closed and that general religious
strike was in prospect because two
European boys had killed two pigeons
in the streets of the city.
The natives considered the pigeons
sacred and the strike resulted because
the police did not take the action
which the natives thought should have
followed the destruction of the birds
From the beginning of history there
is record of animal worship by hui
man beings.
/ The carvings and crude paintings of
the earliest Egyptian periods, which
are the first picture record that we
have, show the esteem in which the
lower forms of life were held.
The cat was especially venerated by
the ancients and in the tOmbs of
Egyptian rulers and nobility are found
wonderful carvings of cat heads, some
times pictured us being on human
bodies.
The tops of funeral jars which were
placed in the tomb to contain either
food or toilet preparations for the use
of the dead had covers of cat heads
wonderfully true to nature. The
Metropolitan Museum in New York
has numerous examples of these jars.
The bull was a sacred animal for
centuries and some modern savage
populations still worship it and lead
1t, gorgeously decorated, in all their
state ceremonials. Greek and Roman
mythology and history are filled with
references to the sacredness of the
bull and it figures largely in both
painting and sculpture.
In India, no matter how near to
starvation n man may be he will not
take food from a dog nor kill it to
eat, although dogs are recognized as
a staple article of food in the Philip
pines and other parts of the world.
To kill dog in India would be al
most sacrilegious.
We cannot hold ourselves as wholly
immune from animal worship. To the
owl we ascribe wisdom wholly alb
sent from that dull and witless bird.
His brain power is not to be compared
The Ordway new era., 1921-04-15

probably the first white men to see
those lofty landmarks which so appro-
priately give this state its name. This
was in July, 1909, when Champlain
made his memorable voyage up the
lake now called after him.
The first permanent settlement was
made in 1924 at Brattleboro, where the
Massachusetts colony established u
fort as buffer against invasion from
the north. The territory used was
part of what was known as the
Equivalent Lands" which were sold
at public auction in Hartford for
about farthing an acre, the proceeds
being donated to Yale college. Shortly
after this, settlers pushed eastward
from New York across Lake Cham
plain and westward from New Hamp-
shire. This led to disputes between
these two colonies as to their bound
aries. Under the leadership of Ethan
Allen New YOrk's claims were resisted
by a local military force, which
proudly called themselves "the Green
Mountain Boys" 1t was these same
men who played such brilliant part
during the Revolution.
In 1777 n formal Constitution for
the state was adopted and vermonters
are proud of the fact that theirs was
the first of the states to prohibit
slavery by constitutional provision.
For number of years Vermont re-
manned as separate republic, but in
1871 1t was admitted to the Union as
the first addition to the original thir-
teen states.
In size Vermont has 1854 square
miles, and its congressional delegation
numbers four. 1t thus casts four votes
for the president.
