TALK AND WORK.

The editor of the Breeders Gazette,
magazine of stock raising, was invited
to go to the agricultural conference at
Washington, but he did not go, because
he felt that what this cOuntry-and the
world-needs is not more talk but more
work.
While understanding and respecting
the purposes and hopes of the confer
ence, he had this to say:
I'VE believe that hard work, thrift
and economy offer the only way out-the
one absolutely sure way out-and with
all due Difference to the President, who
lent the dignity of his great Office to the
opening session, we wish to say that the
cattle and hogs on feed today in the
corn belt are doing more for the restora-
ton of prosperity every "a hours than
the "talkfcsts" can accomplish in a year.
There is not an intelligent man,
woman or child in America but knows
that we are suffering not from some in
durable or dangerous disease, but from
the wounds of the war-gunshot wounds
if you please; and these are to be healed
by time and honest cooperation, not By
patent medicines.
Relieving that all should practice
what they preach, and believing that the
man who attends to his own business
closely these days is the one who is do
ing the most for his country, we have
saved the price of the Washington ticket
a hotel bill and a weeks time
1t is a philosophy which cannot be
emphasized too often or too strongly.
The conferences are good as far as they
go, but they can never take the place of
individual hard work, thrift and econ
omy" in the actual restoration of indi-
vidual and national prosperity.

1t is wholly within the realm of pos
sibility that Brattleboro may stage a
more largely attended ski jumping con-
test than that of last Saturday. and it
is even probable that Johnny Cartoons
record of $50 feet may suffer total
eclipse. There is sl~ht likelihood, how
ever, that any future contest will take
place under conditions more ideal from
the point of view of the spectators. The
weather gods were certainly kind TO the
winter sports committee of Community
Service. under whose auspices the meet
took place. Temperature but two or
three degrees higher than that of last
Saturday morning would have melted
the snow to such an extent as to have
made jumping out of the question. On
the other hand. temperature of the sort
that might easily have prevailed like
that of yesterday, for cxample) would
have made the job of standing in the
snow an extremely cold one even for
folks properly dressed.

Eighty-one years old today is Sir Wal
ter Parratt, who is known as 'the grand
old man of English music" Throughout
his long and highly successful career Sir
Walter has been an indefatigable
worker. His duties as master of the
kings music, teacher at the Royal Col
lege of Music, organist of st. Georges
chapel, Windsor, the conductor of musical
examinations in all parts of the united
kingdom, and a frequent contributor to
musical literature, have given him little
time for recreation. He is a past grand
Organist of the FreemaSons and past
president of the Royal College of Organ
lists. Among his friends and associates,
who have included nearly all of Eng
lands great men and women of the past
half century, Sir Walter has been known
one of the kindest and most sympathetic
|of men, with a quick wit and ready
repartee. He was an especial favOrite
of the late Queen Victoria and has en-
joyed the friendship of numerous other
members of the royal family.

So far as the jump itself is concerned,
there will never be many times when it
viii be better suited to distance jumping
than it was a week ago. All those who
participated admitted that it lacked
nothing in the way of speed. Indeed,
if the committees prayers for additional
snow had been answered it is safe to say
the 150-foot mark would not have been
approached. There can be no doubt that
the contest took" with the spectators,
and the possibilities of future events are
even greater than We're at first supposed.
One good feature of the outlook is that
Brattleboro has little to fear in the way
of competition. The natural advantages
of the local slide place it in a class by
itself when it comes TO record breaking
possibilities.

land Herald that another winter ii
might be possible to arrange a circuit of
such outings much after the manner that
racing events are scheduled. Such plan
would offer plenty of opportunity for
originality upon the part of arrangement
committees in planning programs and
lend a spirit of competition. Starting
say the middle of January and ending
not later than the middle of February
the various outing clubs, hotels, cham
bers of commerce, and other organiza-
tions or individuals interested, could
work out a circuit of winter carniyals
starting, for instance, in the south part
of the state and ending on the northern
tier of counties. Such a chain of winter
sport meetings, the Herald thinks, would
naturally attract the followers of such
events and more comprehensive programs
could be given because of such assured
patronage.

The Gardner, Mass, chamber of com
merce directors have filed with the Sc

furious to the morals of young people

community, and stating their opposition
to '-indiscriminate admission The di
rectors recommend that applications for
permits to conduct such shows be thor
ouhly investigated and only after find
ing the applicant reliable in every re-
spect should permission to locate be
granted. In the past few years numer-
Gus Gardner organizations have con
tracted with carnival shows on a per-
centage basis and replenished their
treasures but the departing entertainers
left anything but good impression The
chamber is out to erase Gardner as one
of the life-saving stations for this type
of amusement makers, although legiti-
mate travelling shows will be given a
hearty welcome.
