FOR POET LAUREATE

Vermont women chose a summer
resident of the state for the Vermont
poet laureate. Perhaps the poet got
some of his inspiration from Yer
mont, even though he is not a Yer
mOnter Barre Times.
"And as the Rutland Herald re-
marks, Robert Frost is real poet,
but he is not a Vermonter.' And
there's the rub We might just as
well select Kipling as poet laureate of
Vermont on the strength of the fact
that he used to have a summer home
in Brattleboro.
without any disparagement of
Mr.. Frost meant, his choice by Yer
mont women as poet laureate of the
state does not seem to be wise one.
If we are to have a poet laureate why
not have Vermonter born and bred
There's no need to go outside the
state for real poet, either. Why
not DR.. Daniel L. Cady of Burling-
ton, whose ability as a poet is unques-
toned and whose famous poems of
Vermont rural life especially, to say
nothing of his other verse, are known
far and wide Huntington News.
We agree with the News. A "poet
laureate" for Vermont should be Ito
the manner born" DR.. Cady would
be good selection and then there
is Miss Georgia White, editor of the
Springfield Reporter, writer and
poet of repute, By all means let us
have Vermonter for this honorable
position.

DANGEROUS Vermont Roads

The distressing fatal accident near
Bethel, in which the daughter of Ex-
Lieut.. Governor Hulburd, the daugh-
ter-in-law of Senator Carroll S. Page
and others were involved, brings to
the bereaved and afflicted families
the sympathy of large number of
friends. No blame is imputed to any
one, but the accident points out, by
the prominence of the people in
volved, the dangers of our mountain
roads in wet weather, whenever, in
fact, their more or less clayey soil
becomes slipper. A skidding car on
a high-banked road is about the most
dangerous thing there is in the way
of tation.-Rutland Herald.

BELONG TO PREHISTORIC DAY
Bones of Whales Possibly Ten Thou

earthed on English Farm.

The skeletons of two whales, dating
back, it is supposed, 10000 to 1900
years, were fOunud by two worllmen
gu farm near Peterborough. accord
ing to the Westminster Gazette. Some
of the teeth and bones were submitted
to Doctor GarrOOd of AlcOnbury hill,
HuntiRSdonshire, and he, in company
with two geological experts, visited
the farm and obtained all the bones,
with the result that one of the whales
has been set up.
The whales were lying side by side
under the peat, and just embedded in
the clay. On the whole the bones are
in good condition, and those that have
been taken out carefully are scarcely
broken. Unfortunately, the skulls are
damaged.
II is believed that many thousand
years ago these whales, and perhaps
others, swan up a creek when the
wash came further inland, and got
caught at the top of a. spring tide
in place where they were unable to
turn.
Another theory has been advanced,
though it is rather far-fetched. Some

gestion has been made that the crew

The custom of placing candles on a

con.es from Germany. The Germans
placed a thick one in the center, called
Lebens-licht, the light of life. Only he
or she who declares his or her birth
day may pat out the light of life; it is
unlucky if done by any other member
of the family. The lights are symbols
of life and its portions the years. For
persons advanced in years one candle
must do duty, as otherwise too many
would be required.
