Glover Girl Writes from China.
Tientsin, China, July 9, ]

Tientsin, China, July 9, 1922
Mr.. Editor:
Little did I think years ago when
read of Confucius, China's greatest
teacher and sage, that sometime 1
would visit his old home and tomb,
and would be served tea by 77th
generation descendant of him. But
on Fourth of July this came to pass.
/ can't tell you all the thrills l
had as / walked over the ground
where the great philosopher walked,
nor as I stood beside his tomb, and
later as I saw the room in which he
was born, and the schoolroom where
he taught. And then as l saw the
old family well, I could picture him
looking exactly as the small Chinese
boys of today look, drawing water
for his mother. For his village has
been untouched by Western influence
and were he to return today he would
find conditions there practically the
same as $500 years ago. Every fam
lily in the village still bears the old
family name-one is duke and he
twice a month offers sacrifices in the
temple. This temple is huge and
has many courts and rooms. The
greatest beauty, to me, was the huge
carved stone pillars and the wonder
full red and green of the tile roofs.
A short distance removed is an
old temple dedicated to len, the most
noted disciple of Confucius. This
temple was smaller. In the court
yard was a kind of a hemlock tree
with opalescent bark-a very rare
tree, and possibly the only one of it's
kind in the world.
This trip consumed the whole day
and we spent the night in the rail-
way station six miles away. Might
say that we made the trip in bump
ing, springless Peking cart.
The next morning we were up
early to take the train for Taianfu,
where we visited Tai Shan, one of
the five sacred mountains of China.
Since the time of Abraham, Chinese
have made pilgrimages to this noun
tain. There are countless numbers
of stone stairs which for some dis
tance are lined with old hemlocks.
All the way along are shrines and
temples where pilgrims stop to burn
incense. At one we saw the mummy
of Taoist priest who died of starva-
to gain merit in the next world. Most
of the pilgrims make piigrimages the
first two months of the year.
At +he t0p are several beautiful
temples. The view is wonderful and
one can see the Pacific ocean at one
place.
I wish I might do justice to this
wonderful trip, but words fail. But
after this visit my fellow traveller
and I felt as we came down from
the heights that we were a little
stronger for our duties on the plain.
Sincerely,
Lola I. Sargent.

The soul is safe in heaven.

"BARTON, VERMONT"
Comment on Publicity Folder Recent
ly Issued by Improvement Club.
Barre Times)


A very effective piece of village ex-
ton Improvement club, with the CO.
operation of the Barton syndicate of
printers and publishers, Gilpin, Hunt
& Co. 1t is in the shape of 10
page folder setting forth in accurate
and attractive manner the various
advantages of this hustling village in
northern Vermont, the printed mat
ter being accompanied by small pic
lures of buildings and scenes in and
about Barton, not the least attractive
of which is a partial picture of Crys-
tai lake, large body of water lying
within a few, minutes walk of the
center of the village. This Crystal
lake is in and of itself a splendid
asset to any community and it is
bound to become utilized by Barton
more and more as means of attract
ing people to Barton either for per-
manent or temporary residence. The
Barton Improvement club and the
printers are to be congratulated on
this move to help themselves and to
add to the prestige of Vermont.
(Northfeld News.)
The Barton Improvement Club has
issued neat folder telling of the
various attractions of that section.
The town had a celebration the
Fourth, and a good one. What i'm
pressed us more than anything else
in the leaflet was halftone of Hotel
Barton. The town is no larger than
Northfeld, and we think smaller, but
they have a 40-room hotel there,
large and commodious. 1t is run by
rG. 1. Lincoln, formerly of Essex juno
ton. Mr.. Lincoln is well known
in this section, and those who used
to stop at Lincoln Inn at the juno
ton know what he puts up for ac-
commodations. The News congrat-
ulates Barton on waking up, and par
ticularly on having such fine hotel,
and proprietor who knows how to
take care of guests. Nothing starts
a town right like a good home for
travellers. The Barton Monitor has
been a great help in calling atten-
tion to the town, and their energetic
Improvement club is doing these
things for the town continually. Co.
operation and pep will do the trick.
(Morrisville Messenger)
We recently received a little fold
er entitled Barton, VT, in the Heart
of the Lake Region" from the editor
of the Barton Monitor, Wallace H.
Gilpin.
He modestly disclaims the respon-
sibility of it's conception, editing, ETC.,
and only claims credit (justly due,
too) for the printing. 1t was real
work of art, a credit to any print
shop, city or country.
The Barton Improvement Club
stands as it's sponsor and is to be
complimented on the work.
The business men, very generally,
joined in sharing the expense by TAX
ing a certain number of copies with
"Compliments of" the store or firm
imprinted thereon.
These they sent to all out of state
people with whom they severally did
business.
Think of the advertising Barton
received in this way.
Think of the credit those business
men gained thereby as -up-to-date
firms.
The idea is not copyrighted.
Any town can do it.
Stowe did the same thing last
year, though the job was not half as
we'll executed geographically.
Why not put this town-your town
on the map? =
