Advertising Vermont
Her Attractions, Resources and OPP
portunities for Health Seekers

Editorial in the Boston Transcript
Vermont has found that organized
effort to make known the attractions
of the state for the seeker for health
and recreation brings return in graf
flying measure. With it's lakes and
hills, its bracing climate and it's
accessibility, especially to travellers
from the West and South, Vermont
takes rang among the foremost of
the pleasure grounds of the country
Vermont folk, in common with
those of other New England states,
are alive to the Importance of sys-
tematic effort to make known its
attractions and to supply Informal
ton of assistance to its visitors.
This year the hotel men, through
their state organization, have been
the moving force behind an energetic
publicity campaign. 1t has included
the maintenance of publicity bureau
in New York in addition to the dis
semination of information through an
efficient organization within the state.
1t has been the means of bringing
to Vermont large numbers of visi-
tors in addition to those who mad
already discovered the charm of the
Green Mountain State.
What the Vermont hotel men have
accomplished was reported at their
state convention in Manchester. They
have done good service not only to
those directly engaged in caring for
the summer visitors, but it is to be
remembered that the great army of
tourists stimulates business in many
lines. The vacation resort business
is an asset of great value to the New
England States. Such effort as that
which has been made in Vermont to
foster it and the efforts which are
being made in other states
are of general interest. And it ap-
pears that these Vermont men are
not looking solely to the so-called
Summer business" They are alive
to the opportunities that are offered
Vermont by the growing fondness
shown by large numbers of people for !
vacation days spent among the hills |
in the exhilarating atmosphere of a
New England winter.
The Vermont hotel men who have
taken the lead in the present endeavor !,
to further the resort business should |
be given cordial and active coopera- |
ton by other interests.
Chambers Of Commerce and Boards
Of Trade may well enlist in the move
ment. 1t is of general value to the
state and should receive general and
generous support.

THE MAKEUP MAN IN A RATHER
BAD MiX-UP

In handling the slugs which make
up the lines in newspaper, and in
separating the various items, the
makeup man sometimes gets the lines
mixed up and they naturally read
rather queer. AS an illustration of
what can happen, we cite the mix-up
of the Bangor (Pa.) News recently
when the printer got wedding and
an auction sale mixed up with the
following results:
William Smith, the only son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Smith, and Miss
Lucy Anderson were disposed of at
public auction at my farm one mile
east, in the presence of 20 guests,
including two mules and IL head of
cattle.
REV. Mr.. Jackson tied the nuptial
knot for the parties, averaging 1850
pounds on the hoof. The beautifuA
home of the bride was decorated with
one sulky rake, one feed grinder and
two sets of work harness, nearly new,
and just before the ceremony was
pronounced the Mendel & Sons we'd
ding march was rendered by one
mich cow, five years old, one Jersey
COW and one sheep, who, carrying a
bunch of brides roses in her hand,
was very beautiful. She wore one
light spring wagon, two crates of
apples, three racks of hay, one
grindstone of mousseline de sole and
trimmings with about 100 bushels of
spuds. The bridal couple left yester-
day on an extended trip. Terms, spot
cash. Exchange.

Timely Comments by the Press
VOTE FOR FLEETWOOD

There ought not to be any COM
plant by republicans in the first con-
gressional district about apathy of
the friends of Kennedy, democratic
nominee, continue to shout for their
we predict, to poll a record vote for
a congressional candidate in Vermont,
but they are not going to elect Ken
nedy for two perfectly good reasons:
first, because there. are not enough
democratic votes in the district to do
so, and, second, because not enough
republicans of ''wet" tendencies can
be induced to support this candidate
to make Kennedy's vote large enough
to defeat Frederick G. Fleetwood Of
Morrisville, republican candidate.
However, this active campaigning
upon the part Of the democrats should
cause republicans to do likewise. The
cleverly phrased advertising put out
by Kennedy will appeal to some re-
publicans, but the democratic candi-
date cannot even hope to win when
the women of the first district cast
their ballots.
Kennedy may hoodwink a few
males of the body polite, but his
cajolery will be lost on the women.
The sane voter of this congressional
district is satisfied that the 18th
amendment is in the, constitution to
stay and that a prohibition law is
necessary to enforce the provisions of
the amendment.
Mr.. Fleetwood has repeatedly
stated that he is solidly for the 18th
amendment. He is not afraid Of the
outcome on Nov. 7. He naturally eXa
poets that his opponent will get a
good vote in the so-called "wet areas"
but the republican candidate knows
that Vermonters realize their condi-
ton is improved because of prohibit
ton, that the general health is better,
that there are fewer intoxication
cases before the courts notwithstand-
ing that moonshine is manufactured
and bootleggers market liquor.
Just to convince Mr.. Kennedy that
he must have much stronger~issue
than an amended Volstead law, let's
get every republican voter of the first
district to the polls on Nov. T. Let
every republican town committee see
that every loyal republican, every
straight party man and woman vote
for Frederick G.. Fleetwood. Let's
make this "off year" one that will be
satisfying to every true blue repub-
lican who plays the party's game
clear to wire. Get every voter to
the polls.-Bristol Herald.

FACT VS.. FICTION
The Attempted Notification of the
18th Amendment by Misrepresenta-
ton Exposed.

Fiction-Prohibitio was hastily
| enacted.
FACTOR more than 100 years
prohibition was intensively and
extensively studied and discussed
No question ever decided by the
| American people was better under
stood.
Prohibition was the will
and act of the minority.
Fact-Before national prohibition
went into effect 81 states, acting
separately for themselves, had adopt
ed prohibition. More than three
fifths Of the people and four-ffths OF
the territory of the country were
under prohibition. The 18th amend
ment was submitted by a vote OF
more than two-thirds of both Houses
of the United States Congress and
has been ratified by As of the As
states, or by 23-24ths of them. The
only two states which have failed to
ratify to date, Connecticut and Rhode
Island, have less than 1-35th of the
population and trifle more than
1-500th of the continental area, and
if the water which is included in these
| states is not counted the area is fur
Their reduced by more than 800 square
miles.
STANDARDIZATION was "put over
while Americas soldiers were away.
Fact-The Congress which submit
ted prohibition to the states was
elected November, 1870, five months
before war was declared on Ger
many april, 1910. American SOL
diers are not drunkards. They helped
Kentucky to enact prohibition after
their return in 1919, raised the pro-
hibition majority in Ohio from $4,000
to nearly $4,000, and in Michigan
from $4,000 to 100000.
Fiction-Prohibitio is unconstitu-
tional.
Fact-By unanimous opinion of
the United States Supreme Court,
1920, both the 18th amendment and
the Volstead enactment code were
declared to be constitutional.
Fiction-More liquor is consumed
than before prohibition.
Fact-In 1917, the last year before
prohibition went into effect, 800 dis
GlliSIl SS III Iue OUltcu oIdU6S pro-
duced 168,000,000 gallons of spurious
liquor. In the same year 1900
breweries produced 1885, 100000 gal
Ions of beer. The first year under
constitutional prohibition three dis
tilleries were in operation and
28,000,000 gallons of spirits were
consumed, while beer practically dis
appeared. The liquor imported was
less than one-half of one percent of
the consumption of Reproduction
days.
Prohibition interferes with
personal liberty.
Fact-So do the Ten Command
ments, according to the testimony of
every liar, thief, libertine and BIAS
phemer.
Decentralization makes hypo-
critics.
Fact-The treason and anarchy
preached and practiced by the liquor
people will of course make patriots
and Christians.-Charles Scanlon, in

The active campaign of James E.
Kennedy, candidate for Congress on
the democratic ticket against the Vol
stead act naturally arouses interest
among the voters of the district, but
on the face of affairs it would look
to be impossible for him to defeat
the republican candidate, Hon. Fred
erick G. Fleetwood. Mr.. Kennedy
will poll a good many republican
votes among those violently opposed
to prohibition and all its works, but
his campaign is sure to arouse those
who support the 18th amendment and
they will rally to Mr., Fleetwood's
support much more vigorously than
they would have done had not Mr..
Kennedy raised the wet issue. Also,
in the rural towns at least is a con-
siderable democratic vote which
favors prohibition and Mr.. Kennedy
will not have the support of all the
members of his own party.-Benning-

Where VermOnters Go?

When Vermonters leave Vermont,
where do they go? Do they choose
an unprogressive state? They do
not. Nine times out of ten they go
| to some state which is spending a
lot of money on publicity and roads.
Manchester people are now buying
property and building in Florida,
which has brought itself prosperity
by spending millions on beautiful
roads and advertising.
Vermont has the opportunity, to be
the Florida of the North and the
Mecca of summer tourists. We can
not get results by pinching pennies.

Mt. Mansfield a National Attraction
The business of the Mt. Mansfield
Hotel is increasing at the rate of
$50 guests each year. Should this
percent in patronage continue, this
mountain will assume a national dis
tinction. The putting of this resort
onto the map is largely due to the
persistent and energetic efforts of
the Hon. Max L. Powell of Burling-
ton. The completion of the $4,000
road to the summit, making it pos
sible for an automobile to roll up to
the Summit House, is a business
builder for the hotel. approximately
500 cars have climbed to the top
without difficulty this season. The
future for Mt. Mansfield looks very
bright, which means much for this
section of the state. Every man,
