CURRENT COMMENT
An Example to Be, Stunned

A boy in Mt. Holly who had
gained a reputation of being a
daredevil because he "stood up be-
hind the bat" without mask, glove
or protector, got along to the age
of 10 years without meeting up
with anything particularly serious;
but when at the age of IS he climb
ed one of those forbidden power
line towers and touched a porce-
lain insulator he got the lesson,
which no doubt will stay with him
through the remainder Of his life
(if he lives).
When the young man, in pur-
suance of his dare-deviltry before
the eyes of some companions, put
his finger in close proximity to the
insulator, there was flash, a yell
a ball of fire and the Venturesome
youth was hurlec to the ground
with his clothing a mass of flames.
The young man is still alive, but
he suffered terribly from the ex-
peMence of coming up against that
invisible force coming out of the
wire.
If there is any value in the warn
ing to other young men of similar
venturesome spirit fthe dare-dev-
il sport we pass along the features
of the incident.-Barre Times.

News Of the State In Tabloid
Form for Busy Readers

East Alburg-An innovation in
the ferry boat line will begin oper-
ations here within a week or so.
Henry J. Blair, who has operated
the ferry business at that point for
several years, brought the new
boat down the river from Swanton
Saturday. Instead of a propeller
being used for power, a cable is
laid on the bottom of the lake and
anchored on either shore. This ca
bic is picked up by q revolving
drum operated by a gasoline en-
CINE Of the stationary type. The
boat is held to its course by rollers
and pulleys at either end through
which the cable runs as it is
brought in and let out. The carry
ing capacity of the boat is eight
large cars and the equipment will
be such as to give the motoring
public excellent service. The fact
that the boat will be operated in
either direction without the bother
of turning around ought to shorten
the time of crossing also.

Runners and Rurnors

The st. Adams Messenger al
leges in leading editorial, than an
organized effort is being quietly
made to secure the election of a
Legislature, Senate anyway, favor
able to the repeal of the present
three headed highway department
and a return to the old plan.
We have not heard a word up
this way, so it must be very
quiet movement.
Another rumor duplicates the
banks as trying to secure men
elected to the Legislature favor
able to taking off the six per cent
interest limit on loans.
That too many be set down to
"dog-days weather." which is a
prolific season for rumors.
The St Adams Messenger pass
es over the demand of the people
for the election of Legislature.
Fundamentally in favor of econ
omy. 1t says at is not much of an
issue after all"
Our esteemed contemporary will
Illlu II - tllt lN0ut WIltl tilt re-
turns come in, Just as the Old
Guard found in Indiana, Pennsyl-
vania, Iowa and North Dakota,
where the people won sweeping
victories.
All there is to the rumor of a
"return to the old highway system"
is the fact that the people are de-
termined by what we have heard,
and heard very frequently to lop
off the heavy overhead charges in
the highway department.
The peoule know we had pretty
GOOD roads in. the days when Ex-
Gov. Charles w. Gates was State
Highway Commissioner, and the
overhead was not one-tenth what
it is today.
If the building roads "as Gates
built them" is treason, there is a
mighty lot Of it all over the state.

Nor clocks don't strike, nor gongs

And I'd have stiffness all around.
Not real stiffness, but jest the trees
Low whisperings, or the hum of
bees,
Or brooks faint babbling over
stones
In strangely, softly tangled tones.
Or maybe a cricket or katydid,
Or just some such sweet sounds as
these
To fill the tired heart with ease.

Bushes and Auto Accidents


A number of motor vehicle acct
dent reports in Vermont of late
have named as one of the contrib
uting causes the growth of bushes
and underbluSh besides the roads
which shut off the view and which
made turning-out almost an
impossibility This condition of af-
faiIT is particularly bad at bends
in the roads and may be the cause
of many serious collisions, The
remedy is at and in the shape of
law, which requires the cutting of
bushes and underbushes along the
country highways; and the remedy
ought to be invoked before acct
dents of serious nature take place
on some of the narrow highways
in Vermont. Unless the work is
done by selectmen or by abuters
now there might be cause for civil
action in case of accidents.-Balre
