get number of representative in
diyiduals interested in different
parts of the town. None of US
knew Just how to do it, and while
we talked about it Mr.. Wells began
to plan for other work. Immediate
action seemed necessary if we were
to be sure of his services. So, to
save Barnet's opportunity, this
small, self-appointed committee
made a personal contract with Mr..
Wells, August ID, 1918, to pay him
500 a month for three months (if
necessary "to prepare a history
of Barnet similar to those of New
bury and Ryegate.
Printed circulars asked for the
cooperation of all Barnet families
Sept. 7, 1918. A suggestion that
the town share in the undertaking
was discussed in town meeting in
March, 1919; but it was deemed
unwise to increase the already
heavy war expenses o fthe town.
The committee, realizing the price
less value of the work which Mr..
Wells had already done, went
ahead on their own responsibility,
hoping and planning to interest a
larger circle of individual coopera-
tors. Continued delay along that
line was wholly due to my lack of
organizing genius.
Meanwhile the book has gone on
growing, and this committee of
four has kept on paying the bills,
and giving much time and thought
to the work-witness the copies of
CAB letters. which | myself have
written for it. The contract for
printing and binding was signed
with the Free Press Printing Co.,
of Burlington, Oct. z, 19l9-and

we had the best Vermont town

am sending this letter to every
family in town,-so far as ! have
their names-some 500 of them
to satisfy an uneasy feeling that
there may be here or there one
which has not yet taken advantage
of this opportunity, which comes
but once in the lifetime of town,
to put their records where they
will be safe and accessible, in case
the family Bible burns up, or is
arried out of town. The author
F. P. Wells of Newbury, Vt,
will be glad to receive additional
Data at-this eleventh hour. The
only change in arrangements is
that families coming in now should
paw him for his time, since he has
agreed to finish the work without
further expense to the committee.
This item will be very small, and
there is no charge whatever for
the printing, unless illustrations
are wanted and they are inserted
at cost, so long as there is room.
The present plan is to print 500
copies and sell them for $40, which
will barely cover the cost, as nearly
as we can estimate it now--after
repeated additions to printers
prices and authors salary. OF
course there is no telling how many
copies will be sold-and of course
no one ever expects to get back all
the money put into such "a book.
If we dared print more, the cost
of each book would rapidly lessen.

erly welcomes all cooperation from
everywhere which will help make a
good book better. They are deep
ly grateful, for instance, for re-

Mr.. Wells can't bear to stop

much time on material received
since December, when he was glad

Application Wins.

The ancient fable of the tortoise
and the hare tells the whole story Of
success and failure. It was the con-
stanr application and answering de-
termination Of purpose that brought
the tortoise in ahead of his fleet footed
antagonist in that quaint race de-
scribed by Aes0p.
Leo, the great pontiff, was an early
r1ser In order that he might not lose
a moment of time In the fulfillment Of
his great and sacred duties. Thomas
Jefferson, though endowed by nature
with brilliant mind and surrounded
by every environment conducive to
success, knew the need and advantage
OF constant application. During his
school days he held himself to a rou-
tine Of Is hours Of work a day, and
during all his career he was an ex-
empiar and exponent of the thrift Of
time-BostOn Globe.

MORE IN LIFE THAN WEALTH
Man Who Refuses to Let Money
Dominate Him Calls Forth Eulogy
From Rudyard kipins.

Sooner or later you will see some
man to whom the idea Of wealth. as
mere wealth, does not appeal, whom
the methods Of amassing wealth do
not interest, and who will not accept
money If you offer 1t to him al GER
tain price Al first you will be in
clIned TO laugh at that man, and think
that he Is not smart in his ideas. !
suggest you watch him closely, for he
will presently demonstrate to you that
money dominates everybody except the
man who does not want money.
You may meet the man somewhere,
but be sure that whenever or wher-
ever you meet him, as soon as ii comes
to direct issue between you. his 1T
tie finger will be thicker than your
loins. You Will find that you have
no weapon In your armOry with which
you can attack him. If more
wealth is necessary to you, for pur-
poses not your own. use your left hand
to acquire 1t, but keep your right hand
for the proper work In life. II you
employ both arms in that game, you
will be in danger Of stooping.-Rud-
yard Kipling.

Coal as CONCEALED Gas.

Attention has been invited to an in
teresting explanation of the burning
Of coal. Coal, petroleum and illumi-
mating gas are related to one another
much as ice, water and steam. For
this reason perfect combustion of liq-
uid fuel Is already long step to-
ward vaporizatiOn, just as Ice Is ad-
yanced toward steam, when turned in
to water. The volatile elements OF
coal are locked up In the solid form,
or virtually frozen solid. 1t has been
demonstrated how great an amount
OF heat must be taken from the so.
called permanent gases to make them
liquid, and how much more to make
them solid. Yet nature has solidified
gas into the form Of coal, and solid
coal, like solid ice. will dissolve into
vapor only through the expenditure Of
heat.

the Constitutional Convention 10
regard to parish government
There are many who cling to the
present system. government oy q
police Jury. Others convinced OF
the defects of the present system.
advocate parish government oy
commission.
Hon. w. T. Peterman. one OF
the delegates to the convention
from the Parish of st. Mary. has
introduced an ordinance providing
that all parish matters shall be
under the management of q board
of supervisors composed of FIVE
members who shall be free.
holders and who shall own prop
erty of not less than $1,000 IN
value. Under Mr.. Peterman's plan
each parish would be divided In
to FIVE districts from each of which
one supervisor would be elect.
ed from the parish at large.
the duties and qualifications OF
the members of the board would
be prescribed by law. The effect
of this plan would be to put into
the board of supervisors the entire
management of all parish affalrs
and Il would abolish both the
police jury and the school board. :.
1t would have control OF parish
finances, schools. roads, bridges
and drainage. Under this plan,
however, the school system Of the
yarious parishes will not be dis.
turbed, and will still have super.
inten dents of education.
A very pleasing feature of this
plan is the provision requiring the
supervisor to reside in q certain
district. but elected by the voters
of the parish at large. 1t is true
that, according to Mr.. Peterman's
view, It will cause the best citizens
to serve on the board.
We heartily endorse this or
ordinance and hope that the
convention In its wisdom will
put 1t in the constitution. Mr..
Peterman made the folio wing wise
and fair statement in advocacy of
the ordinance he has introduced i:
"St. Mary parish has, perhaps, the
best Police Jury In the State. We
have our best type OF citizens on our
Police Jury, and nobody in our Par.
ish has any complaint to make. Bu,
appreciate the fact that some OF the
other parishes are not managed like
ours. In fact, from what | have
heard, am OF the opinion that there
are parishes In the State whose affairs
are not properly managed by their
Police Juries. Citizens of those par
ishes are entitled to some relief. But
In giving them relief we should not
get too far away from local control
of local affairs.
1.-THE ordinance that l propose to
introduce will give relief where it is
needed, while at the same time, 1t will
not take from the people any OF their
rights.

ium for compromise between the
