Following up what we have recently
said about the fire loss and the pos
sibility Of reducing that loss each year
in Vermont, we should like to add EN-
phasis to the question of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters, which is,
care we burning up Vermont" In
view of the fact that thirty per cent
of the s4,397 $50 fire loss during the
past five years is classed as strictly
preventable" and AZ per cent is classed
as partly preyentable" it begins to
look as If the question might well be
answered in the Affirmative. II the
people of Vermont could have prevent
ed all, or nearly all, Of " per cent Of
the entire fire loss in five years by
merely taking reasonable precautions,
then we are open to criticism and cen
sure; and il is probable that the stats
tics are correct because they are gath
cred by trained experts of the actu-
arial bureau Of the National Board of
Fire Underwriters. 1t IS time to call
a halt in such carelessness.

PLEASURE RESORTS AND
FARMING.

That the summer resort business
and farming can 20 hand in hand Is
the contention OF the Boston Tran
script, which comments on note Of
fear from Maine that the growing ae-
ton OF wealthy people in buying up
great tracts of land is to the detriment
Of agriculture in the following man
ner:
But II has not been the development
of the summer resort that has caused
the decline of New England agricul-
tnre. Its sad state Is in evidence lar
from the summer palace OF the mil
lionaire and the humble boarding house
Of the clerk and the stenographer- And
while we may deplore the condition OF
agriculture in this section, the coun-
try as whole still manages to do
enough farming to keep civilization
from trembling in the balance. 80
Maine may safely boom its summer
resort business without fear that IA
SO doing it win reverse the progress
of the ages. And the multitude will
continue TO flock 10 Names hundred
harbored shore, to the banks of her wind
ing streams. and the dim recesses OF
the great woods, regardless OF the
prediction that civilization may drop
dead in this playground Of nation.
Agriculture began to wane in many
a state long before the arrival OF the
people on pleasure and recreation bent
and the latter cannot be blamed for
such decline. As a matter OF fact,
many Of those people who buy up
large tracts Of land in various parts
Of New England have built up the
agricultural life of their immediate
section by introducing methods q
practical farming which the people Of
smaller pocketbooks could not dot
have increased the productivity OF the
land and have contributed greatly to
Hhe sum total OF the wealth OF the
world by getting greater returns out
Of the ground. The coming OF people
OF large means from other sections
ought to be welcomed in Vermont, as
as well as in Maine. In Many instances
they help toward the upbuilding OF the
state and the region.

Mr. Editor:
Alexandria Gazette,
Dear Sir:-I would thank you for
the use Of the collins Of the Gazette
for the following article.
This campaign has brought to my
mind a pleasant recollection. Janu-
AIRY, 1921, while patient in the
Alexandria Hospital, suffering from
injury to both eyes. Attributing my
recovery to the skillful physicians
that attended me and also the hos
pital management. Miss Carter, the
popular superintendent, was always
on hand to see that everything was
done for my benefit and comfort.
The nurses both day and night were
unurng in their effort to admins
ter every relief possible. l must
not pass over so important a branch
as the Office staff, without q few
words of appreciation for their I'M
firing service All messages and
mail being promptly delivered.
Speaking Of the mail recall to my
memory on January 18th, 1921,
when my mail was brought up to
me, amongst which was a letter
from the Hon. Claude A. Swanson,
which read as follows:

teams you can depend upon to show
up on the field at the designated
time so our fans won't be disap-
pointed.
We were more tran anxious for the
Cherrydale nine to show up so we
could show the fans in Alexandria
how We can stand up with the same
class of baseball teams that the Dread
naught Athletic Club are playing. We
may Of been little out Of our heads
but we had decided that they would
have to play a good brand of base
ball to beat Us Saturday, because we
knew that if we defeated them that
1t would be drawing card for the
rest Of our Saturday games as they
were to play the Dreadnaughts Sun
day.
We would play the best teams that
are in Virginia or Washington, d. G.,
if we could get them, but we are IN
such 2 position we cannot guarantee
those teams from fifty to one hun
dred dollars fiat base guarantees. If
we could we would play any Of them.

nif.iest-rought baseball duels, yester-
day defeated the fast Shamrock A. c.
oil North East Washington by the
score OF / to =. 1t was the first OF
three-game series FOR pivot position
in the Championship series OF the DIS
rict.
"Rowdybush," the infant twirler OF
District fame, performed as well rs
could be expected, but the Dread
nauehts were right and edged out by
ero runs. The locals lack the ability
OF engineering good baseball In the
piulnes. and threw away enough
chances to WIN four games. The sec
end game was with CherryGale, the
score being . 10 3, in favor OF the
"DS. In the early inings the game
developed into e farce as the visitors
were completely ouJclaSsed. Frye and
Oriefus tossed for the locals.
Next Sunday Del Ray plays here IN
