Vermont Rural Schools.
BARRE TimoS)

So much has been said and it is
still being said about the retrogres-
sion of Vermont rural schools and
the deterioration of their physical
equipment that news to the contrary
is welcome and somewhat reassur-
ing. For insta zee we read that the
pupils in Burke Hollow school found
marked charge in their schoolhouse
when they ceg-cr ned to begin the win
ter term G school. They found that
the tow !, d installed new black
board, tint the money raised by
the children at Christmas sale had
been turned into a handsome book
case and desk, that the old desk had
been cut down into a work table for
the younger children and that the
cupboard formerly used for books
was to be utilized for storing lunch
baskets and dinner pals. All of
these details may seem meagre. in
deed, and of a very homely nature,
but there is do doubt that they go far
toward making the schoolhouse in
Burke Hollow more livable during
school hours and more a place of at
traction to the pupils of the school.
That better surroundings, more

liquor, demonstrates what national
prohibition has done. Of course
there is some drinking and drunken
ness here. Mexico is only a few
hours away, and all along the river
everything is wide open-wider than
in Canada. But the Mexican brands
do not appeal to our folks much,
though quantities of tequilla and 9TH
er liquors are struggled in here and
used by the Mexican population. In
general, however, the big booze traf-
fc, which until the 18th amendment
absorbed so much of the peoples
money and gave them worse than
nothing in return, has been practi-
cally wiped out, to the inestimable
benefit of everybody except perhaps
the makers and vendors, and they
seem to have found other satisfactory
occupations. The vast sums saved
have gone into profitable channels
like business, bank deposits or insur-

Advertising which calls attention to
the fact that sugar making time Is
fast approaching calls to mind the
sorry experience of most sugar max
ers last season who depended upon
the open market for an outlet of the
crop. The remedy for such experience
is better organization and better
product. There is an unlimited mar
ket for high grade maple product
at profitable price, but that market
will not seek out the maker, nor
will it demand the poorer grades. A
determination to make a better prod
uct and find special market will put
profit into the makers pocket instead
of woe into his heart.

Time for the, annual March town

A few Orleans county dairymen and
sugarmakers attended the annual
meeting of the Vermont Dairymen
and Sugarmakers association held in
Burlington last week, but not enough
went. There is much of value in as
sociating with others in the same
business or profession and anyone
who fails to take advantage of these
opportunities loses something which
night add to his betterment. Roose-
veit once said anyone owed something
of his time and talent to the advance
ment of the trade, business or pro-
fession in which he was engaged.

Protecting Highways by Jail SEN

BARRE Times)

If the precedent established by the
judge of the municipal court in New
port Is followed very extensively in
Vermont, there will be greater safety
on the highways of Vermont during
the present year, both for the drivers
of road vehicles and for pedestrians.
The judge not only fined man who
had pleaded guilty to operating an
automobile while under the influence
of liquor but he also sentenced the
respondent to 30 days in the county

ulation fine, which is ordinarily i'm
posed in these cases, does not seen
to be sufficient punishment. / be-
lieve the beginning of the new year
is good time to try a new method,
which may prove a more effective de-
terrent." Very likely. By no means
ali the accidents on the highways of
Vermont. are occasioned by the be-
fuddled condition of the drivers of
motor vehicles, but a considerable
percentage of them are. Clouded
mental condition adds to the posi-
bility of collision in the thousands of
emergencies, which are facing the
drivers of motor vehicles; and if the
drunken drivers can be kept off the
highways the possibilities for acct
dents will be reduced in just that
proportion. Possibly the action of
the Newport judge will serve to keep
many of these menaces off the high
| ways. At any rate, their continued
presence there calls for more drastic
treatment than the mere fining of
the guilty and the removal of their
operating licenses for brief period

CURRENT COMMENT
RECKLESS DRIVING

Reckless driving of automobiles
has caused the authorities to
adopt more drastic measures. One
OF these, as put into effect in one
State acros sthe line, is to prefer
in the first instance homicide
charges whenever there are fatal
tiles thus placing the burden of
proof on the accused. This course
l., being pursued when occupants
OF cars are killed as we'll as when
cars kill pedestrians.
There is no question that reck-
less driving in many cases is Grim
inal whether Intentionally so or
not. Drivers take chances, and
know they take them when there
is no valid reason for their doing
so. "Such risk cannot be shared
by occupants of cars, recently de
clared a New York Judge, "any
more than pedestrians" The
driver has the same responsibility
as the engineer running a locomo-
tive, and must prove eXtenuating
circumstances
Just what effect such drastic
measures will have is problema-
teal. They may deter some driv-
ers from taking undue risks, but
have no effect on others, especi-
ally those whose brains are added
by "hooch". 1t is a statistical fact
that recklessnesS resulting in fata-
lities is generally due to partial

was about 100 in the shade where
we were.
After we crossed the Utah line
we were in some more desolate
country. We travelled for so
miles without seeing a single living
thing. On one stretch of level
going we rolled along at about
% miles an hour for three miles
with nothing but the wind push
ing US. | had to put the brakes
OH some times when we came to
rough places.
First we would be in the noun
tains and then in a desolate valley.
One of them, called White Valley,
was interesting because of the
clouds of alkali dust that were
constantly in the air due to the
winds sweeping down off the
mountains and then upwards lift
inc the dust with them. 1t looked
almost like steam rising.
Just outside of Eureka, Utah,
we ate our supper; a rather late
one, it being very near midnight.
After supper we went on in hopes
that we would come to a stretch of
concrete pavement that we had
heard about way back the other
side of Austin. We drove until
400 a. M, when Mr.. Steward fell
asleep and run US into sand bank
so we decided to hang up some
where for the night We were in
the edge of a place called Payson
and found a very desirable camp
ground there. We had been on
the road Is hours and only made
POP miles and yet the roads were
good-compared to what we had
been over.
About 7 miles north of the
town the next morning we found
that wonderful stretch of concrete
road; about 80 miles of it. 1t
sure was an oasis in a desert. We
reached Salt Lake City in about
three hours and took a whirl
around the capitol. Then we took
a look at the Mormon Temple and
Tabernacle from the street. If we
had not been in such a hurry we
would have gone inside but it was
August 14th and we still had 2700
miles and more to go.
Salt Lake City is certainly a
real city. 1t is very much like
any of our eastern cities of the
same size (about 100000. 1t is
very neat and clean looking.
At the Auto Club we obtained !
some strip maps that would guide !

on leaving the city there is a very
deceptive grade. 1t does not APP
pear to be much of anything but !
