Sections of the White river valley are ideal spots for summer homes and summer colonies. Intelligent and well directed effort would soon result In the coming of the summer resident, and though he staid but for the summer time it were rar better than not to have him at all, for the property he might develop remains for the year. The Whke river valley, along with the rest of Vermont, has its good roada but they are used in the summer time by the tourist from the middle west as a cut across lots to get into New Hampshire, for he has been told of Us summer hotels and resorts, but is wholly unaware or the vacation home opportunities of the White river valley, nor will they know until they are told.

They were told and that repeatedly about New Hampshire and Its resorts. An Instance of the skill and persistency of New Hampshire publicity was seen at the recent national good roads conference in a middle west city. Each state in the union sent a delegation. That from the alert granite state carried some $2,000 worth of printed matter, all descriptive of the state as a summer home. The $2,000 to pay for the printed matter was "raised by popular subscription.

At this same national conference there was not two cents worth of printed matter pertaining to Vermont. Community action is what counts and there Is no better field for this "A community where such a microscopic minority or voters takes interest enough In its public affairs to attend the annual meeting deserves the worst that can come to it In management. It deserves, indeed to be in the hands or suffragettes exclusively." Rutland News. But let's not be too hard on St, Johnsbury, dear contemporary, she doesn't stand alone in such displays of political indifference. While The Messenger has no figures at hand, it will venture the guess for your consideration that Rutland has had some city meetings called to decide important business, where only a handful of citizens were present.

Indeed, If Rutland has not bad this experience, then she stands aloof from the rank and file or cities and towns here in the East, To be perfectly frank, there have been times here in St, Al-bans when one might well blush because of the lack of interest in very important matters, such as the authorizing of bonds, etc. But to go out or Vermont, Boston has just elected a man for mayor who cannot be said, even in the most lofty flight of fancy, to measure up to the, standard one might expect the citizens of such a cultured city would set. But the Boston analyzers say that Curley waa elected because the "respectable" people stayed at home; the very people who have the most at stake. And so it is elsewhere. This much is certain, a city or'town usually gets just as good government as it deserves, for.

If the electorate is alert, it will see to it that good and experienced men are elected to important posts, for the competent (Eirflst Mill The little ones love it.

Pure, clear castor oil, without taste or smell, is a recent discovery of the house of Spencer Kellogg Sons, refiners of vegetable oils. The Kellogg Mills take away the nauseating taste, but remove none of the good properties of castor oil. As Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil is merely a purified castor oil, it works better than the evil-tasting, evil-smelling dose of the past, and does not upset the stomach. Children take it easily. Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil has been supplied to all druggists, not in bulk, but in neat 25c and SOc bottles.

It is necessary to ask for Kellogg's by name, to distinguish it from disguised castor oil, flavored with peppermint and other strong essences. The trademarked label bears a green castor leaf, with the signature, Kellogg's. Made only by Spencer Kellogg Sons, Buffalo, N. oil refiners.

adv. than the White river valley. The Landmark. Auto Fire Truck's Good Work. At the meeting of the St.

Johns bury Commercial club a few evenings ago, when Franklin II. Wentworth of Boston spoke on The Economic Sign! ficance of Fire Waste, President Joseph Fairbanks of the club had something to say on the efficient work which has been done in St. Johnsbury with an auto fire truck. The total fire loss in St. Johnsbury from 1905 to 1912 had been $145,676, an aver age per year of IS.

2 09. Since the fire truck had been installed in Aug ust. 1912, the total fire loss had been $1,600, and the loss for the year 1913 was only $977. He then read figures from other towns showing only two of the size of St. Johnsbury had a lower average from the years 1905 to 1912 and none had approached St.

Jobnabury's figures since the fire truck was installed. Figures like this prove nothing, as fire losses vary from year to year in every community regardless of pro tection, but Mr. Fairbanks, knowing of the conditions in his home town, evidently believed that the showing there was due in large part to the work or the fire truck, as he stated that he knew personally that it saved property owners and fire insurance companies thousands of dollars during the recent cold snap. St. Johnsbury has authorized, also, the pur chase of an auto truck for Its hook and ladder company.

If St. Johns bury, with its steep hills, heavy snows and low temperatures, can use these machines to advantage they are not barred by natural conditions from any other town In Vermont. Brattleboro Reformer. An "Open Mind" Proposition. Speaking of the termination of the telephone hearing at Montpelier, the Journal of that city says: "That the state has not deemed it necessary to introduce expert or otherwise, seems to furnish signal and conclusive proof thpt it is fully satis- fled to rest its case on the evidence as it has been disclosed by the telephone company themselves." Whereupon the St.

Johnsbury Caledonian drops in with the remark that "it Is just as conclusive proof that the telephone companies have made a full satisfactory presentation of the facts connected with the case." The Caledonian does not go on to say where it finds that "conclusive proof," but, in response to the Journals' reference to the great expense connected with the trial, the St. Johnsbury contemporary courteously contends that the "Ignorance and Incompetence of the commission and the counsel for the state" is responsible for no small proportion of the expense to which the state has been subjected because of this hear ing. The Caledonian says "that the pub lic will await the verdict with an open mind." This is just what The Tribune has pleaded for in what It has said from time to time regarding the hearing; and it has preferred to keep Its mind open pending the final report of the commission, instead of taking stock in the unofficial ac counts or the situation which have appeared rrom time to time. Everybody wants a fair deal in this matter nobody wants the opposite: and The Tribune has con fidence enough in the gentlemen wno make up the public service com mission to believe that they will endeavor rully to meet the requirements or justice alike to people and telephone companies In their final decision. Vermont Tribune.

Ricker Was Right. Albert A. Ricker, a successful busi ness man in New Hampshire, in speaking to the Commercial club of his boyhood home, St. Johnsbury, emphasized the fact that the main province of such an organization was In improving local conditions rather than baiting outside concerns to come there. This Is a point which is often overlooked.

By developing a good community life, getting good railroad accommodations and freight and passenger rates and developing home resources and attractions, a live town can make itself so inviting that outsiders will want to become its permanent residents. Vermont Phoenix. A Common Evil. "Seventy-two voters participated in the annual village meeting at St. Johnsbury.

The Messenger will not undertake to say what percentage this represents of the total voting strength of the town, but It must be very small. After all. if no more interest is displayed than this, could St. Johnsbury complain if, in the coming year, she got an administration which would cause her to blush with shame?" St. Albans outnumber the incompetent, and once they register their choice that choice will prevail.

And on the other hand. If the competent stay away and leave the election and the decisiod or Important matters to those less interested directly, there need be no surprise expressed if 111 results are attained. No government achieves its possibilities unless it has the sympathy and support ot the best in the community. St. Albans Messenger.

Banquet In Littleton. The Littleton Courier or last week says, "The Littleton Board or trade banquet committee is busily at work arranging for the annual affair which will be made mcie elaborate this year than ever berore. This year's meeting is to be held in the opera house the first week in February at a date later to be decided upon. Several speakers well informed as to the qualifications or a live commercial organization will give addresses and Senator Hollis. editor Bigelow or St.

Johnsbury and others well known in Littleton will speak. The services or an after dinner entertainer of Boeton have been secured in order to help liven up the affair. Arrangements for serving the banquet have not been made as yet but it is planned to have a lay out that will long be-, remembered Everyone interested in Littleton's welfare Is expected to be present and then work for its continued success the rest of the year."
