riage whenever his duties would per-

charm and innocence of babyhood and
was amused by hundred things he
had never noticed In the children of
others. Already he was planning for
little Marie's future. 1t was hard for
children to be cooped up in the city

that they would move to some subur-

Wray resumed her Intellectual pur-

spect Wray as she might as an affec-

not love him, and that because Of the
gap that lies between those who think

the court a bundle Of letters, appar-
emily written on superfine paper and
tied with a ribbon, which in color
matched the dominant note, trans

expressions of admiration from the
women present.

OUR FAMOUS SONGS

through Stanton's poetry Is that OF
pathos. tenderness swaying of the
soul to the simple things of life. He
has lived-and he knows. No poet
can sing into the literature of his
country the soul-songs of his people
unless he sings them out OF the
abundance of personal experience
This is the secret out of which has
come the immortal glory of the sim
pie melodies of Robert Burns Frank
Stanton knows the spirit OF our be
loved south. the spirit OF our people.
our peculiarities. customs. failings.
faiths. creeds, aims and aspirations
Through a trained mind and life
time of experience he has caught the
spirit not only of our people. but OF
our seasons. birds. flowers and that
vaster still-life of southern Landscape
and southern sky. He knows our old
teachings-the things so hard for an
older generation TO surrender.

Mighty LAX a Rose" the deep
wrought feeling OF mother love
touches the zenith of greatness IN
these simple lines:

Everybody knows:
Dunno what ter call FIN.
But he mighty lax a rose:
Lookin' at his NANNY
Wild eyes so shiny-bl

The Recent Election.
(Barre Times.)

Perhaps the most striking victory of
the Democrats in the legislative election
was the putting across" of Burton T..
Bailey against Mason :. Stone, Repub-
lican, of Montpelier. Mr.. Stone. long
time state commissioner of education.
lieutenant governor and potential candi-
date for speaker, was at first considered
solidly entrenched and ready to pick out
his seat on the sunny side of Represent
atives' hall; he even declined the Demo
cratic nomination for representative,
permitting Burton f. Bailey to come
into the field; then came the peculiar po-
litical Frankenstein that sometimes de
velops most unexpectedly and Mason
Stone was trampled under foot most
ruthlessly. Those who were not on the
inside of things were very much sur
priSed, but those who know Burton
Bailey as a fighter and who know some
more of the inside workings in the politi-
cal workshop in Montpelier are today
expressing no surprise whatever over the
outcome. 1t is evident that a tremen-
dous amount of underestimate, good, hard
work was done while some of the other
fellows were merely under the covers.
Almost as pronounced as the defeat
of Stone was the political manhandling
given Frank f. Barber, Republican, in
Brattleboro, one of those who had been
actively campaigning for speaker of the
Vermont house. DR.. L. Z. Lynch, Dem
ocrat won by a decisive majority. 1t
was one of the big surprises of a some
what surprising election.

NEW ROLLING STOCK.

The number of new freight cars or
dered by American railroads up to Oct.
- was $4,000 and the number of new
locomotives $500. That is about 10000
more cars and 800 more locomotives
than were bought in average years dur
ing the decade ending with 1921 1t is
more than We're bought in any single
year since 1916 And the total will be
considerably larger before the year is
ended.
Much of this equipment goes to re-
place wornout stock, but there is a posi-
tive gain.
The mere fact that the railroads are
able to buy this new rolling stock in
such quantities is in itself a reassuring
thing. 1t shows that the roads are able
to start building up again, instead of liv-
ing on their own fat. 1t shows also
that they anticipate growing volume
of traffic and increasing prosperity. And
the additional cars and locomotives will
help to hasten the process of business
revival, for the nation as well as for the
transportation lines.

SO MANY PEOPLE:
ARE NERVOUS
HFruit-a-tiVeS" the Greatest
Of all Nerve Remedies
Because Made Of Fruit Juices

The increase in the number of
persons suffering from Nervousness is
worldwide; due, in measure, to the
reaction following the war. Sleepless-
ness, Headaches, Mental Depression,
Rheumatism, Nervous Dyspepsia,
Bad Heart Action, are the results of
a disturbed condition of the Nervous
System.
The nerves and the blood are so
intimately, so vitality, connected that
the condition ofoneis bound to affect
the condition of the other. IF the
blood is laden with impurities, it is
impossible to have strong, steady
nerves.
"Fruit-a-tives'' will always cure
Nervousness because it IS a fruit
medicine and acts directly on the
organs of the body which purify the
blood, thus relieving the nervous
system.
his because aFJuit-a-tires' IS a genuine
fruit medicine that it stimulates bowels,
kidneys and skin and purifes the
blood-improves appetite and diges-
tion-insures food being properly
digested-thus enabling the blood to

build up the body, particularly the

CULTURE FOR FARM SUCCESS.

1t is reported that the American
Country Life ASSOCIATION which will hold
its fifth annual conference during the
second week of November. is approach
ing it's work from n new angle this year
In the past the main efforts of this or
ganization and of the federal depart
ment of agriculture and state Farm Blu
reaus have been directed toward lessen
ing the drudgery of farm work increas-
ing the farmers products through intro
ductiOn of scientific methods, better seed
and purebred stock, and organizing the
boys and girls in practical clubs of all
sorts. All of these activities have been
beneficial and have shown steady prog
ress. But they have not succeeded in
stemming the tide of young people going
from farms to cities.
The new program being inaugurated
this month will place more emphasis on
cultural interests and less on occupa-
tional and economic subjects.
1t is believed by leaders in this work
| that the young people who leave farms
for city jobs are Iured less by thought
| of better pay and easier hours than by
| the opportunity for cultural advantages
| supposed to center in the cities. The
| fact that the transplanted country boy
or girl frequently does not find all these
eagerly sought advantages in the big
| towns and that many of them could be
made available in the rural communities
/ lies back of the American Country Life
| associations proposal to alter its usual
program. Enjoyment of farm life has
been recognized as essential to farm

Hiram Atkins BOOSTERS.

1t seems to me that politics
Have dwindled some of late,
We sort of miss the olden days
OF good red-hot debate,
The rally and the campaign speech,
The bowling of the boosters,
And oh ! the thing | miss the most
Is Hiram Atkins ROSTERS
Along about Election time
Those cocks began TO crow
You didn't have to read the text
The days result TO know,
For when a Democrat came in
They told it mighty quick
But let the other party win
Oh my but they looked sick.
With ruffied feathers, dropping heads,
And nauseated mien,
They told the world of their defeat
Like actors on a screen;
And only one there was who claimed
A game he did not win,
Still shouting: 'Tilden elected.
But Hayes is counted in" -
Firm dyed-in-wool Republicans
Were all my worthy sires.
And many platform was discussed
Beside our evening fires;
But Hiram's Democratic birds
Were always welcome there,
The Argus and the Tribune shared
My Granddad's easy-chair.
The fun that blessed those good old day.
We seem to miss by half
For those were times when men coult
fight.
But men could also taught
Bring back the campaign song anC
speech.
Bring back the bowling boosters,
And when Election day comes round
Oh bring back Hiram's BOOSTERS.

The following which Longrellow didn' t
write is respectfully dedicated TO Dick
Brodie, Otto Bennett and other enthusi-
asts who want to bond the state of Yer
mont and pay out the taxpayers money
for interest instead of for road building.
The poem hangs on the wall of the New
York state highway commissioner s
Office:
Hordes of autos now remind US.
We should build our roads to stay,
And departing leave behind us
, Kind the rains don't wash away.
When our children pay the mortgage
Fathers made to haul their loads,
They'll not have to ask the question,
Here's the bonds, but where's the
roads,"
