Bishop Manning asserted. I'VE have
full right to our different views.
For my own part | have never been

"We all know what our race has
suffered through the evils OF drink
and know that II this evil can be sup

may well be willing to make such

You OF think about prohibition but
what we think about the great prin.
ciple of respect for law. Prohibition
is the law OF our land Those who dis
approve this law have the right TO
say so and to work in lawful ways
for its repeal. But no one has the
right to evade or disobey this law,
and no one can do this without grave
harm to himself and to the life OF
our country.
1T is asserted that this law Is wide

whose wealth and position in the
community give them greatest intlu
ence. To whatever extent this Is true
il Is a matter of the utmost serious
ness and OF the deepest concern"

Mr.. Custman, in his long business
career met with some misfortune,
some reverses such as fire that de.
stroyed a factory and stock and en-.
countered periods OF depression but
through all there was the persistent
progress toward the success realized
in his later years. Notwithstanding
the constant demand upon his time
and energy, he maintained an active
interest in the public affairs Of the
state and his home town and in the
social life of the two villages. His
connection with the Congregational
church at North Bennington was
more than usually close and was ex-
pressed not only by attendance and
support but by the carrying out OF
those multitudinous details neces-
stated in the success OF any religious
organization. For a number OF years
he was president Of the village OF
North Bennington and the head OF
the school committee,
Mr., Cushman represented Benning
ton county in the state senate OF
1910. In 1877, when the Tooth ami
versary OF the battle of Bennington
was observed, he was made adjutant
general OF the veterans reunion and
was active in locating the encamp
ment and preparing for the entertain
ment of the veterans and other sol
diers. He has been member of the
Grand Army of the Republic for
many years, Of the military order OF
the Loyal Legion, Sons Of the Ameri
can Revolution, the Bennington club
and other organizations.
At the time Of his death he was
president OF the board of trustees

president Of the Bennington Battle

a member Of the board OF trustees oi

"Vermonts farms are worth more
to her than all the gold mines m
America" was one OF the significant
remarks that Prof. Walter Hill Croc-
kett Of the University OF Vermont
made last night in t:lO address on
Resources and Opportunities of
Vermont" delivered before the Con-
lgregational club. The value OF all
the gold mined in the United States
in 1920 amounted to about $53,000.-
900, whereas the farm products pro-
duced in this little commonwealth OF
about 10000 square miles amounted
to better than $S3,000,0OO tie same
year. The removal of the former
left hole in the ground while in the
latter case the soil was improved and
the value Of it greatly improved by
making it yield so generously OF Va

TRUE ECONOMY MEANS
 BUYING MILES NOT TIRES

After all, that's what you want nlles-and you want tires that will stand up and give you long, unin- terrupted service. We, as tire deal CTS, realize that it's an easy matter to sell cheaply constructed tires once. But we've never seen such tires that are also economical tires. And we are not interested in making, dis satisfied customers by selling them tires that are not truly economical. TMs is our reason for recommending Dayton Tires.
 We know how they're made-the kind of rubber used-the kind of fab ric-the kind of labor. We've talked to dealers and users. We've watched them perform and we're satisfied to tell you to judge us by the service you get out of Daytons. Incidentally, they're the most beautiful tires we've seen. And don't forget-they cost you less per mile-guaranteed and de- livered.
 Dayton Tubes improve the service of any tires They're thicker, smooth CT, finer and stronger. Ask us to let you feel one. 'S. #

A BROKERS IDEA OF QUANTITY

Speaking of the way brokers see things in quantity reminds us of a hunting trip Ed Shaw and himself participated in sometime ago. After three or four hours spent in hunting and after exploding two or three tons of powder, trying to put the shot in the vicinity of some ducks, the hunt CTS had returned to camp with one bird which was something of runt.
 After supper they dressed the little bird, as Ed figured for once in his life he had better have the evidence with him when he returned home, and rolled in. Just as they were dozing off Ed spoke up in loud voice, "Do you know I can still smell THOSE ducks on my hands"
