The following is letter received by
Alger Jones from his son in Dallas,
Tex, written August Is, and who
has been travelling in the West for sew
eral years -
Dear Father and Misunderstanding
stripped to under-clothes in order to
keep somewhere near comfortable,
will write line or two before going
to bed, which, by the way, is about
as disagreeable as sitting up. We
have had fearfully hot weather here
since the 1st of May, contrary
to the usual run of things in Texas.
The nights have bee. about as bad as
the days, until cry ody who has
had to stay in Texas looks as though
they were cooked ready to eat. They
all say here they have never seen such
continuous drought before. It has
hurt business very much in North
western Texas. l expect my sales to
drop off from last year twenty or
twenty-five thousand dollars. People
are leaving the western sections and
coming east to work in the cotton
belt to keep from starving. Their
horses and cattle, and even them
selves, are pictures Of suffering and
want. Many come here with nothing
to begin with and squat on some land,
hoping to make a ''crop," but this
season has starved them out. at is a
fearful picture of restitution to see
them trailing across these now barren
prairies, dusty, poor, hungry and
thirsty, moving along at snaiPs pace,
almost, and no water for miles ahead.
The oxen's tongues hang out and they
almost stagger, drawing the covered
wagons full of women and children
who look as forlorn as the oxen. And
yet some think it is fun on the from
tier, and easy sailing to settle up new
countries. Yet these people don't
grumble much. Actuated by the one
desire to possess money, these poor
creatures roam in advance of civillza-
ton, hoping to get a better spot than
some one else, where he can squat
and get rich. To think that this great
country of ours had to be advanced
into step by step, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, fraught with the same
hard work, trials, suffering, sickness
and death, seems almost incredible.
and that the ground was cleared and
the way made smooth for coming gen.
erations to live in peace and luxury;
that it was brought about by the tri-
ais and hardships of those who took
the lead, seems to me to be but little
by those who now enjoy
the fruit of some one else's labor.

Farmers and Poor Stock.

While looking over the herds OF
thoroughbred and grade stock at the
State Fair at Burlington, it appeared
to US as quite surprising, that men
noted for their superior intelligence
like our Vermont farmers, should con-
tinue to keep COWS that will hardly
yield TWENTY-FIVE pounds of milk a
day during ten months of the year
and not more than thirty day through
the very best month for the yield of
milk, when they may at very little
(if any, greater expense, keep diaries
that will yield to exceed forty pounds
per day during the ten months of the
year and eighty at times. The mer.
chant when he invests his money in
goods very wisely selects such as will
honorably yield to him the largest and
best returns, and we fail to see what
good reason the farmer has for not
doing likewise. The contrasting of
breeds, while making the circuit around
the grounds, was not the only matter
that created surprise in our minds,
but the fact quite forcibly struck US
that farmers can ill.afford to do less
than stock their farms with the very
best breeds.

State Fair.

The State Fair has proved a sue
cess in many respects. The show in
cattle, horses, sheep and swine, as
we'll as many other departments, was
large and fine. The attendance was
not as large as usual for two reasons,
the doubling of the gate fee and the
bad weather. The racing was spirit
ed and close, the Utton Brothers TAX
ing their full share of the races and
purses. They have always been quite
successful at the State fairs for many
years. Mr.. G. r. Page had his fine
J herd of Short-horns on the ground
and secured first premiums on steers !;
also premium on two-years-old bull
and two-years-old heifer. E. A.
Smalley, of Hyde Park, was awarded
second prize on his stock horse, Ster-
ling Boy, which he showed with three
of his colts. R. G. Hill took his
usual premiums (about all there was
ofered) on his flock of Cotswold
sheep. There was quite contest for
the premiums offered for four-years-
old stations. There were nine en-
tries, and the judges spent a long time
in the examination, and the matter
was not determined until the commit
tee ordered four of them to be har-
messed and shown on the track. These
were Glen Allan, owned by G.. W.
Hendee, Gladstone, owned in Shell
burne, Black Ben, owned in Ira, and
Golden Lambert, owned in Bridport.
They made good show. Glen Allan
was awarded the first premium, Col
den Lambert I'd, and Black Ben Sd.
Glen Allan is by Ben Franklin ; so also
is Black Ben; Golden Lambert is by
the Frost Horse, and he by Daniel
Lambert; Gladstone is by son of
Holabird's Ethan. The show of
horses this year was not quite as
large as last year, but was an excel
lent show, the exhibit of single driv-
ers and matched pairs being larger
than ever before. The exhibit OF
Holstein stock was the largest and
best in quality ever shown in Ver-
mont. 1t begins to look as though
that breed was becoming more popu-
lar throughout the country. The
most notable exhibit in the stock line
is that of L. D. Hazen, of st. Johns
bury, who had string of ten yokes
of oxen weighing as follows per pair:
1910, APO, ALSO, 4210, 1916, 1850,
4410, 4440, 4518, 61S7. The last
are the largest pair of cattle ever
shown in the State. They are eight
years old, grade Short-horns, aud
with the other yokes named have been
worked in the woods, logging till put
up to fatten. The annual address was
delivered by Senator Edmunds Thurs
day evening at the City Hall to a
large audience.

Theory of the Earthquake.

The theory as to the cause of the
earthquake shocks at Charleston, Sa-
vannah and vicinity, advanced by
Prof. MCGEE, of the geological survey,
is that they have been caused by a
movement of the coastal plain tow
ard the sea. He shows how the
region east of the Appalachian range
IS divided into two portions. The
granite or gneiss formation is called
the PIEDMONT escarpment, and extends
from the mountain ranges to about
where Columbia is. The region this
side of that is made up of what we
call fragmented rock and is called the
Coastal plain. The theory is that this
coastal plain has simply slipped sea-
ward bit, and that the displacement
produced the shock or tremor. Prof.
MCGEE claims that there is a constant
tendency in the direction of such a
slide, since the escarpment on which
this coastal plain lies is an inclined
plain ending in sharp depression a
hundred miles or so out to sea. Eric
ton has been the obstacle which has
prevented the slipping of the coastal
plain. The theory is that this fric-
ton has been enough overcome by the
readJustment of the earth's surface,
which is constantly going on, to cause
the recent slip. According to this
theory another slip will not occur for
some thousands of years. In con-
nectlon with it may be recalled that a
lew days before this earthquake &C.
CURED that eminent British scientist,
rro1: Dawson, in an address before
tne British association for the advance
ment OF science, said: sit was possi-
Die that there soon would be, or might
even now be in progress, a new set
tiement of the bed of the Atlantic
ocean, especially on it's western side,
ana that there would possibly be at
tne same time renewed volcanic actiy-
lty on the eastern margin of the
ocean" The theory of Prof. MCGEE
Is In full accord with the utterance of
mro1. Dawson, which reads very much
IKE prediction in the light Of what
has occurred.

N OTES.

By the careless issuing of orders tc
conductors of two trains on the Nicke
Plate road on Wednesday, freight
dashed into an excursion train at Sill
yer Creek, N. Y. The smoking cal
of the latter was telescoped, sixteen
persons were horribly mutilated and
killed, while upward of twenty more
were injured.
The iron front buildings of Charles
ton resisted the earthquake much bet
ter than those of stone fronts. 1t is
rare occurrence to find fracture in
wall which rests upon iron beams
and uprights.
1t is said that the water from the
artesian wells at Charleston has not
been in the slightest degree colored
by matter forced in from below. This
indicates that the earthquake was of
less depth than the wells.
During the earthquakes in Georgia
woman in Jackson county threw
open the front door and fired a gun,
and was walking the floor with the
gun in her hand when her husband
came home. She thought burglars
were around. In a negro neighbor-
hood at Macon the cry was raised that
the Day of Judgment had come. An
old nanny. with her inky hair almost
straight from fear, rushed out when
she heard the announcement and
gazed upward eagerly. Suddenly she
shouted: "No hit amt, honey; no
hit amt. De skies amt moved. When
Judgment comes hits er comin's bofe
ways" She was armed with the be-
lief that on that dread day the heav-
ems and the earth will rush together.

TO prohibition itself, in so far as il
alienates thousands of good and
