covering a period of approximately

Rev. John Kimball was the success

in Glover. He has had experience in
another state, in legislative work, and
will be a valuable member. Let the
House make him chaplain, and thus
put an end to the unseemly scramble
for this office among the clergy.
( The nomination of Aaron HI. Gcout,
for city representative of Newport,
over w. C. Lindsay, the popular may
or, by the decisive vote of 615 to 800
was the big surprise in Orleans coun-
ty. Mr.. Grout is a very capable man
with legislative experience and very
pronounced views on reduction OF
state expenses.

reading the returns from Orleans
county primaries. They prove con-
clusively that the people are behind
"Stod" Bates He headed his ticket
with the total of $500, or 500 more
than any candidate. "The stone that
the builders rejected has become the
chief stone in the corner" as it were.
This vote indicates radical change
in our highway laws as "Stod" Bates
knows how to get results with much
less money.
Barton had a red hot fight over the
representative with two live men as

Opening Some of the Closed Schools

One encouraging sign in Vermont
which has not received the attention
it deserves is the fact that school
house in East Hardwick which has
been closed for 16 years was reopen

scholars. These days when country
schools are being closed for want OF
children to put in them it is distinct
ly encouraging to note an instance

Flies May Be Useful
ScnUenqers

A G. Weeks, lawyer, says it is wrong to advise
people to kill flies. Mr.. Weeks writes
"Flies are the most useful and capable scav-
engers> in the world, and without them as
agents in the rapid dissolution Of pestiferous
material we might be swept off the earth by
plaques of many kinds On the other hand, the
flyless community is best assured by the
prompt, removal of pestilential matter Hence
my new slogan: Don't swat the fly, but don't
give the fly iob.''
The fly may be useful as scavenger, as are the
vulture, the buzzard and the hyena-where carrion
exists. ...'
But there should be no food for scavengers IN
THE HOUSEHOLD, and therefore no scavengers
should be needed or admitted. -.
The fly comes from carrion or filth outside of the
house, bringing into the house filth and germs
with him.
He does not, destroy carrion, he BRINGS 1T IN,
Therefore he should be killed when he appears and
kept out by the metal screening.
The hyena is all right in the Jungle where ami
mails die and must be devoured. But you wouldn't
have them in your front yard, you wouldn't have
vulture in place of your canary.
Undoubtedly certain flies are necessary as yet,
for they great scavengers. They lay their eggs
in decaying meat, and the young worm flies devour
the carrion that would spread pestilence.
Darwin says that there exists an African fly of
which one couple and their descendants would de-
stroy entire lion eating it to the bare bones,
inside of twenty four hours
Let's be grateful to the fly for what he does in
the RIGHT place, and let's swat him mercilessly
when he brings his trade into the house.

MAKE NICE PETS,

The ruby.throat humming bird is easily
reared a pet, and some time ago 1 found
a single young one in a nest that had been
taking It home, writes DR.. r. w. Shufeldt in
the American Forestry Magazine, I expert
enced no trouble in getting It to drink water
from a teaspoon the former having been
well sweetened with sugar. When being fed
II would sit on one of my fingers, while
held the spoon with the other hand.
At night II slept on the chandelier In the
middle OF the room, and the first thing in
the morning II would fly down to little glass
vessel containing sweeened water which 4
had taught It to find 1t would ny out on an
open window to Visit the flowers OF the red
honeysuclSle that grew luxurlantly over the
broad porchway Of our home. On one occa.
sion, with loud and rapid twittering II flew
into the room through the open window,
closely followed by. a\bird Of It's own species.
It was not long after that when my pet re-
sponded to the 'call Of the wild" and flew
away never to return. .~

The Lark

TN James Barrie's address at
Scottish University the other
q day, he told story of the
lark.
He said he heard it from Nam,
sen, the explorer. There was a
legend among the Northern peo-
pie of a certain monk, Father
Ansen, who wandered out of the
monastery one day into the
woods, and heard a lark singing
The music was so beautiful that
Father Ansen listened with rap
ture.
The word rapture implies
being carried away.
When the song had ceased the
monk returned to the monastery;
but when he knocked at the door
stranger opened it and asked
who he was. "Why, I am Father
Ansen," replied the monk. After
some considerable consultation it
was found that some hundred or
so years ago there had been a
monk in that institution called
Father Ansen who had wandered
away in the woods and had been
lost.
Time had stopped while the
lark sang.
This is a beautiful illustration
CT the timeless value of life's
highest moments.
Just look back over today and
yesterday, and if there has been
any small period wherein your
soul boiled over with beauty
and "time stopped" why then
life is worth living. y .

Mr.. Kerensky's s
Ambassador.

AFR. KERENSKY, interesting, but without stay
M ing power, became for few weeks boss and
H'A dictator of Russia. He celebrated by moving
into the Winter Palace, where he married charm
ing young actress. Then he moved out of Russia.
During his brief rule he sent over here an ambas-
sador to represent Russia. And the United States
has continued to recognize that ambassador, al
though for years he has represented nothing at ALL
so far Russia is concerned. It is now announced
officially that the gentleman is about to- retire as
Russian Ambassador, having paid off one hundred
and two million dollars of the Russian Govern
ment's debts-meaning debts of the Cars admin
istration.
How much MORE did he payi Where did the
money come FRONT Who GOT the money! That
is an accounting that will never be rendered in
detail.

Fundamental
Principle.
vITITHOUT presuming to die
Wv tate in the field of finance

+" tate in the field OF finance
or to express an opinion
upon the mooted tariff question
or otherwise be definite where
learned men are confused, we
should like to call attention to
one fundamental law that most
statesmen, financiers and cur
roncy experts seem to forget.
That law is that the heart of
commerce is the exchange of
goods for goods and not goods
for money. 3.
In other words, you cannot, in
the long run and as a permanent
program, continually sell unless
you continually buy.
i We should not lose sight Of
the fact that money is not of in
trinsic value, but merely a token
or representative of it.
You cannot eat money, drink
it, wear it or smoke it.
All that it is good for is to
get something else with.
We do not claim to be able to
know the way out of the present
economic chaos among the ma
tions of the world, but we do
know that no order or prosperity
is going to emerge from it until
somehow or other we manage
not only to get our goods to other
countries and receive money for
them, but also devise some way
to. take goods from other coun-
tries and give money for them.
~ As they say in marbles this is
taw. And we are never going
to get very far with the game
until we all start at taw.

Making and Breaking
Records
THREE Englishmen, while at
tempting to climb Mt. Ever

THREE Englishmen, while at
tempting to climb Mt. Ever
= est in Asia, succeeded in
reaching an altitude of 26,SO0
feet, which, their chronicler
states, "is the highest altitude
ever reached by man."
If they had climbed 1900 feet
more they would have reached
the summit. TO temper their
, disappointment we shall now be-
tray one of natures secrets and
tell them what they would have
found had they reached their
goal. Snow and ice. Let us
hope they will keep this to
themselves.
The desire to establish record
or to break record that another
has established is one of the
mainsprings of human action. If
a man receives medal for
having eaten fifty pies in five
hours, another becomes eager to
eat fifty-one pies in that same
period. Thus we have records
for long-distance piano playing,
for endurance in dancing, etc.
We thought of mentioning golf
records, but we fear the storm it
would arouse.
Sir Isaac Newton, who gave
the world its theory of the law
Of gravity, did not hold the
record for falling from the
greatest height. He was not
even the champion apple grower.
Sir Archibald Geikie. the
great Scottish geolegist, who
made many contributions to
mankind's knowledge of ma,ln-
tains and volcanoes, was never
the man "highest up"
Z 1t really seems as if the great
discoveries Of science are worked
out in the human brain, labor
ing in a laboratory or in the
scclusion of a study. The
achievement Of an altitude record
suggests the lines from an old
opera: ... ~
my name is William Tell, OIL
my name is William Tell;
And what a glorious thing it is
to be named William Tell"

CONSUMPTION
and Sales Tax
N HE proposed tariff bill prop
erly protect, established


American industries. In its
present form it has provisions
which levy new heavy taxes on
foreign manufactures of a sort
not made in America.
The effect of these taxes will
be to increase prices to Ameri-
can consumers without benefit to
American workmen.
For example, women's kid
gloves apparently cannot be
made in this country.
Their manufacture did not de-
velop under the generous rates
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff, nor
even when French importations
were shut off during the war.
The proper handling of these
delicate skins, remains a secret
Of the French workers.
The new tariff bill levies an
additional tax of &c cents per
pair on women's kid gloves now
selling for $3.50. The present
duty is 20 cents. An additional
tax of $1.25 is levied upon six
teen-button mousquetaires now
selling at a6. The present tax
is 40 cents.
The proposed increased tariff
is a heavy consumption tax. As
such it cannot be justified. The
rate is beyond reason.
If the French are not allowed
to send us 'ANYTHING-even
what we cannot or do not make
for ourselves-how are they to
pay for our exports to them, and
how are they to pay interest on
their debt to usf
By the way, the proposed
manufacturers sales tax, to f.
nance the soldiers bonus, also
applies to imported goods. A
sales tax of ~ per cent on
manufactures - exempting fuel
and most foodstuffs-would yield
$400, 100000 a year. The tax on
the Sc gloves would be 9 cents
per pair, and on the $3.50 gloves
S cents per pair.
The same agricultural mem
>bers of Congress who are said
to oppose the general sales tax,
which would add 5 cents to the
cost of kid gloves-the same ag-
ricultural members, are swallow
ing: the enormous consumption
taxes carried in the tariff bill.

W ever working hard for Britain, says: "The
A'A United States policy hampers Europe"
England would like to forgive fifteen billions of
debts that other countries owe HER, but she can't
do it unless forgive five billions in debts that
SHE owes u.s. The difference between the debts
is that England's debts are bad debts, probably
can't be collected anyhow. Ours are supposedly
good debts, as Englishmen usually pay.
The feeling of Europe toward the United States
is a feeling that two gentlemen had when
they called on Mr.. De Rothschld in Paris They
suggested that he should divide his fortune with
them and he refused. That refusal greatly cham

Home Again Slogan
Adopted for Motor
Show ait Garden
Exhibition to Take Place
January 8 to I3; Great
Accessory Store Will Be
One of Novel Features
Back home again!

Back home again!
That is the slogan that has been
adopted for the fourteenth annual
motor show, the renewal Of which will
be held in historic Madison Square
Garden from January to 10 next. The
palace exposition is scheduled for the
Same week, and thus New York will
again harbor two automotive shows ct
one time.
The exhibition In Madison Square
Garden is being resumed after a lapse
Of ten years and was made necessary
by the urgent demand Of ranufactur-
ers Of automobiles, trucks and access
ducts at the palace because Of lack Of
space.
This Ia the first public intimation OF
the Garden show. Tho trade generally
has been aware of it only few days,
and already requests for space reser-
vations have been received by the pro-
jectors Of the exhibition.
Ono of the novel features Of the
Garden show will be what is said to be
the greatest accessory store in the
world. On and behind an enormous
counter, on shelves and under glass
will be exhibits from all over the
will simply send the products they de-
sire to have shown and staff of trained
clerks will take charge Of the store,
book orders for the various products
and represent the various manufactVr-
ers. In this way the only expense for
the maker is forwarding his exhibit.
Another innovation is to be a Sec
tion devoted to displaying shop equip
ment Of all kinds and varieties from
trouble wagons to cotter pins.
