Sending Your Money Far Away.
(Rarre Times)

One reason why Vermont does not
progress faster, or because 1T goes
back in some localities, is perhaps
given in the testimony presented in
Orleans County court in connection
with a case in which woman sued a
Willoughby man for % years services
as housekeeper. In order to deter
mine what money had been spent by
the man in payment of bills contract
ed for the housekeeper it was order
ed that the mans checks to a certain
mail-order house in Chicago be pro-
duced in court. This order was COM
piled with and bundle NEARLY as
large as the family Bible" was pre-
scented, the bundle bearing mute tes-
timony to the quantity of money
which had gone out of Vermont from
this single household. 1t seems that
large amount of the purchases made
by this household, excepting, prob
ably, some articles of food, has been
made at this Chicago mail-order
house, the money going out of cir
culation in the state and the local
merchants being forced to stand di-
minuation of business. When it is
considered that several thousand Yer
mont families may be patrons of that
same concern, or some similar con-
Germ outside of the state, there is lit
tie wonder that Vermont is suffering
from acute prostration of business IN
the smaller communities of the state.
Of course there is something to be
said on the other side of the situation,
the distance of many prospective
purchasers from the village store, the
possibilities of getting some goods
cheaper at the mail-order house and
sometimes false notion that the To-
cal goods are not as good as the
mail-order house products. There
may be a few cents saved temporarily
and some people may be inclined to
think those few cents very large; but
they will find that in the long run
they have been losing money through
the general depression of business
and marked depreciation of real es-
tate values in their home communi-
! ties resulting from the flowing out of
| the state of considerable current of
good money. AS business stagnates
in the centers of population, farms In
| the immediate vicinity lose their val
ue and the farmers have to go far
| Their to find a market for their ex-
! cess products; and eventually the
| farms may have to be abandoned as
almost dead loss. Thus it will be
seen that the tendency to save a few
cents temporarily means definite
| loss at a date easily within ones life
time.
Outside trading in the end is a
poor policy, and the only helpful
course to pursue is to patronize home
merchants or merchants in the state,
the state wherc we all expect to get
our own living and where strong CO.
operation is necessary.

Friday is Jay Peak day and judg-
ing from the interest one hears ex-
pressed in the matter there will be a
large crowd present at the foot of
the mountain that day if the weather
permits. With a list of splendid
speakers and the need for extending
the Green Mountain Sky Line Trail to
Jay Peak, there is every reason fol-
making the day a red letter event ir
bringing our mountains to the front
More than 1000 people have tramped
the trail in the southern part of the
state this season and many of them
would visit this section of the state
if they were given the chance to con-
tinue the trip to Jay Peak. AS 6
business proposition it looks as
though we ought to take hold of this
matter with a will. Remember tc
start for Jay Peak Friday morning.

Hopes Bates Will Say Something.
(Randolph Herald)

F ormer State Highway Commission
er and Senator-to-Be "Stod" Bates
has resigned from the three-member-
ed state commission. The inside dope
about his retirement is that he dis
scented from the report formulated by
Commissioner Dix, which has the ap-
prevail of the other two members,
Governor Hardness and DR.. Bryant,
and requested the privilege of setting
forth his own ideas in a separate re-
port. This the majority at first de-
MED him, but later he received the
intimation that it might be recorded
providing he would submit his report
to the other members before making
it public. This didn't suit Mr.. Bates.
who rendered his resignation instead.
In his letter to the governor he re-
marked that he found it impossible
longer to coordinate" an express
sion that hanks back to the last ses-
sion when the Hartness-Bates contro-
versy began. The former commits
sioner has apparently functioned dur
ing his incumbency about like a spare
tire. We hope his report filters out,
now that he is free agent. 1t is
to be presumed that "Stod" will have
something to say worth hearing
anyway when he gets into the senate.

GENERAL EDWARDS AT CAMP
VATT.

General Edwards spoke to all of
the boys and girls camps in front
of Camp Vail this morning (Septem-
Der 20) emphasizing the five funda-
mental principles in the development
of boys and girls which he regarded
as essential: sound body, apprecia-
ton of labor, sound mind, self-con-
troll, and an appreciation of the other
mans point of view.
Immediately after his talk the Of
fetal achievement medal was present
ed in behalf of Camp Vail and pinned
on the lapel of his coat by Frances
Hancock of Maryland. In reply the
General gave the French token of APP
probation by kissing Frances on both
cheeks. An opportunity for each
member of Camp Vail to shake hands
with the General was then given.
AS General Edwards was inspecting
the exhibits at Camp Vail he found
a poultry team from his own coun-
try, Norfolk, demonstrating the use
of electric lights as means of in
creasing the egg production during
the winter months, and was SO much
impressed with the value of their sug-
gestions that he has asked them tc
come out to his farm in Westwood
Mass, in early October to install ar
electric lighting system in his poul-
| try yards.

elected president of the Union for the
coming year. Russell E. Everest of

state organization, have been the
moving force behind an energetic
publicity campaign. 1t has included
the maintenance of publicity bu-
reau in New York in addition to the
dissemination of information through
an Efficient organization within the
state. 1t has been the means OF
bringing to Vermont large numbers OF
visitors in addition to those who
have already discovered the charm of
the Green Mountain state.
What the Vermont hotel men have
accomplished will be reported at their
state convention in Manchester, this
week. They have done good service
not only to those directly engaged in
caring for the summer visitors, but 1t
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 Yer
mont to foster it and the efforts which
are similarly being made in other
states are of general interest. And
it appears 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 fol
vacation days spent among the hills
in the exhilirating atmosphere of
New England winter.
The Vermont hotel men who have
taken the lead in the present endeav-
or to further the resort business
should be given cordial and active
cooperation by other interests. Cham
bers of commerce and boards of trade
may we'll enlist in the movement. II
is of general value to the state ane
should receive general and generous
support.

The Country Church.
Mortified News

The country church can be made
one of the most useful elements in
building up a rural community, but
not all churches succeed in making
themselves factor. Many are very
successful, but others do not get the
hold they should on the community.
In order to win the support and in
terest of a rural section, a church
needs to do something more than hold
religious services. The spiritual mes
sage is the heart of it's mission, and
must always be made the most prom
inent feature. But it takes something
besides preaching to capture the pop
ular heart. The interest of nom
church goers can be won great deal
more readily, if it is seen that the
problems and accomplishing some
thing along the lines of every day life.
Country people are exceedingly busy
and lack time for carrying on public
enterprises. Many ministers make
| themselves tremendously valuable in
community, by taking hold of the
things that no one else seems to have
any time to tackle. So they often
run Boy Scout and other organiza-
tons that will give an outlet for the
! activity of the kid element. Or they
| find women who will get the girls
working in some similar society.
Many of them have induced the farm
ers to form clubs to promote their
interest and have given a boost to
other movements of community SER
vice.
If a minister and the church peo-
pie can thus fill up the gaps in a
community and provide it with the
1 ~; 70
efficient way, such religious society
will have no trouble in getting good
| congregation to attend it's preaching
services, and the children will be sent
| to Sunday school.
The people will recognize that here
is an organization that is getting
things done which the community
needs, and they will feel that such q
society is entitled to have hearty CO.
operation and that it gives full re
turn and more for whatever it costs

We admire the courage of James
E. Kennedy, Democratic candidate for
congress from the first district, who
opposes Frederick G. Fleetwood. the
Republican nominee, who frankly an
nounces that he is for an amendment
to the United States constitution
which shall allow the manufacture
and sale of light wines and beers. In
other words he would be termed a
"wet" candidate, while Fleetwood
must be termed a "dry" candidate.
Kennedy probably does not remember

form against Dale, who has always
been frankly and openly staunch

somewhat discouraging situation with
reference to bootlegging the United
States has gone out of the liquor bust
ness for good and for all, and we pre-
dict a vote in the first district which
will convince Mr.. Kennedy that as g

dead one.

1t is noted that Burlington and 9TH
er places on Lake Champlain are to
stage historical pageants next sum-
mer. This is good news to those
thousands of people who saw the Bar
ton pageant presented last year. A
real pageant is a real community
builder and warrants the time, ener-
gy and expense involved in it's pro-
duction. If Burlington presents a
good historical pageant it will get
many visitors from this section of the
state where pageantry has been ex-
plotted t. some extent.
