The MOVING Trial ut Weybridge.

Mn EDITOR In your issue OF last
week there is card from the agent of
Woods Mower, in which he states that
he understood at the trial, and believes,
that the Acme was offered at lower pri.
ces than the Woods sold for.
Now, all have to say to that matter
is, that up to, and until after, the day of
the trial, no Acme mower had been offer
ep as low as the price the purchasers OF
the Woods mowers say they bought for.
The price of the Acme that day was
Sll0 for four feet six inch cut, with
changeable speed, and 500 for four feet
cut, with single speed, and the offer was
made that day to sell at IS off those pri-
,es, provided five or more machines were
purchased by the number Of farmers that
had there dubbed together to get re-
duction on the price of whatever mowers
they purchased. Ii any one says the
Acme was offered at less price than above
stated, that day, he utters an untruIh
and whether the idea originated with the
agent Of the Woods mower or any ono
else, it is wholly false.

The purchasers Of the Woods mowers

lieve any one has ever been offered an
Acme of any kind ia this county at less
rate than 800 for four feet cut, single

prices that were finally fixed upon subse
quent to the trial, and up to, and after
that time, no one bad been offered either
kind as low as the purchasers Of the four

above for the Woods ON that day are
the true ones, and they are the same as

Mr.. Editor A cultivated taste, we
are told, is derived from an extensive OBJ.
servation Of the best models. He who
has natural eye for beauty, and has
by extensive travel and observation cul-
tivatcd his love of tho beautiful, is quail.
fed to act as umpire in matters Of true
taste.
To allow shade trees to grow to full
size, limbed low down with scragly and
unsightly branches, is to ignore every
principle Of good taste, to cultivate de.
formity, and drive symmetry, dignity and
beauty into exile.
Among the trustees of your village
there is evidently lacking class of men
possessed of highly cultivated tastes
Judging from the appearance of large
numbers of the shade trees that line your
walks and public pleasure grounds, one
can readily detect the fact that the Board
is measureably filled with men, whose
tastes, to say the least, are not of the
highest order of cultivation, or else they
are very remiss in duty.
1t is no wonder that the Rev. Mr.. NJ.
remarked recently in our hearing |
cannot pass thirty rods in any direction
10 your village without feeling strong
desire to lop off scores of unsightly branch
es that mar the trees and obstruct vision
10 every direction"
While ii is blessing to possess a high
order Of taste, it is sometimes quite I'M
fortunate to be situated where it is being
constantly offended 1t is one of the for
tunate conditions of society in your vii
lagc that some of your citizens are men
of correct taste, and of decided action, in
the correction of vulgar notions aud obso.
letc ideas and opinions. Happily we are
not unacquainted with one or moro of

FROM REV. PROFESSOR THOMAS j. CO.
NANT.
To my much loved Classmates, the
surviving members of the graduating
class of 1923;
| had confidently anticipated the
great pleasure of meeting with you, on
this iifticth anniversary of our gradu-
alton, but unexpected and pressing
engagements forbid my absence from
home at this time. To all and each of
you, | tender an affectionate greeting
with lifelong rcmembrances of our
pleasant class association in College
l beg leave to submit the following
sentiment, at your jubilee gathering:
To our Alma Mater; the first to in
troduce the study of the German Ian
guage and German classics. as n class
exercise in an American College, in the
year 1872. .
This was done through the influence
and under the instruction Of Professor
Robert b. Patton, an enthusiast in
pathological learning, who had the mis-
fortune to be born little before his
time, and found but slight encourage
ment in his efforts for the promotion OF
linguistic studies, now so zealously and
successfully prosecuted in our country,
AS copies of classic German writings.
i'm sufficient numbers for the use of a
class, could not then be obtained in this
country, he printed at his own ex.
pense few selections from the best
German writer's. AS still more reading
matter was wanted, he wrote out in his
own beautiful hand, extracts from
Goethe, Schiller, and other classic au.
thOrs, and these Were copied by the
members of the class for use in the reel
tation room.
When l afterwards met him at
Princeton, he spoke very highly of the
talent and culture of the students un-
der his charge, but acknowledged that
he could not awaken in them, that en-
thusiasm in study with which lie In
spired the Vermont boys.
Fraternally yours,
