Clark county correspondent of
the Knox county Democrat has
this to say of the cucumber indus
try in this county: "Clark county
will have out over FIVE hundred
acres of cucumbers this year.
This is great business for our
citizens, and it adds annually for
W or fifty thousand dollars to the
county. There is some agitation
now in regard to the beet sugar
industry, and no doubt in a few
years we will be making our own
sugar, and will have a surplus of
the sweet article to spare other
countries.

The proposition OF Dodsons
& Hill, referred to in the GRAPH
les news columns, should recelye
the attention and encouragement
from the farmers that it merits.
The firm asks for nothing that can
not be easily, abundantly and, even
at mod crate prices, profitably
grown in Adair county. Besides
there are thousands of hooks and
corners on Adair county farms,
aad often the most firtile land, that
remain uncultivated year after
year, and are thus wholly unprotit-
able. These could be utilized and
in the aggregate would yiela sur
prisingly large revenue Itwould
also give the farm boys a chance
to make some ready cash. Not
one of them but could find time to
devote to the cultivation of a small
area planted to one or all the veg
e.ahles required in the PROPOSE
ton. Finally it would give ready
cgsh market for all the surplus of
these vegetables In the farmers
garden. whether he is in the busi-
n ,ss or not, just as the fruit evapo-
rater gives a market for the sur
plus fruit of the county. We
urge our farmers to give the mat
t,r careful consideration. Wheth-
er we shall have this new industry
rests entirely with them, as the
firm can not afford the expense of
establishing a sailing works with
out some guarantee that enough
vegetables named will be grown to
make it profitable to the firm.
"A thorough study of the
platform of the Cincinnati conven-
tion fails to reveal single princi-
pie on which to found a new party.
Protection is ignored and free
trade is disregarded. A party that
deliberately shuts its eyes to the
absorbing and ruling subject of
political discussion must become
extinct without becoming factor
in national government, for the
reason that it presents no princi-
pie at Issue that can supersede the
ole that now divides the two great
political parties. The demands of
their platform ale a curious mkt
ure, and will confound the men
who framed it. The principal feat
ure is the sub-treasury plan, to
make tne governm INT bank that
will Issue to the people irredeem-
able currency at 2 per cent upon
non perishable products and real
estate. Their next declaration
calls for unlimited coinage of sill
yer. But what benefit can be
gained from free coinage of silver,
If the sub-treasury plan were to
20 into effect, is beyond compre-
hension. If treasury notes
are issued in unlimited quan-
titles at 2 per cent the
mints might coin one hun
dred million of silver dollars q
month and not one cent of it would
get into circulation. Free coinage
of silver, if paper money is issued
under the sub-treasury plan, is a
contradiction, The sub-treasury
scheme and the free coinage of
silver are the principle features of
the platform on which the new
party asks for political power. All
other demands of national impor-

TO PLATTSBURGH

About 125 people went from St.
Johnsbury on the Lake road excur-
sion Saturday the 22d, about as many
more going from the other stations
between here and Morrisville. Ar
irving at Maquam the party went
on board the steamer of the same
name and enjoyed trip down the
Lake, stopping at Mallet's Landing,
North Hero, Laird's Landing, Adj
ans Landing, Senter's Landing,
and Pittsburgh. All are small island
villages except the latter, which is a
town of some 5000 inhabitants. tits
admirably situated on Cumberland
bay and is an important railroad
center. Here in this bay was fought
one of the great and decisive battles
of the war of 1912, which resulted in
a sweeping victory for Commodore
Marlborough of the American fleet.
The British land forces made an at
tack at the same time under Gen.
Provost, but they were repulsed and
driven back by the sturdy boys from
Vemont and New York. The ruins of
the old fort are still visible on the
bank of the Saranac river, and a
short distance up that stream are
the crumbling piers of an old bridge
which the Americans, after crossing,
so cut and weakened that when the
British attempted to go over it fell
beneath them into the river. Platts-
burg has many natural advantages
and might be made an important
center for trade, but it is said that
Sc saloons thrive within it's limits
and, if this is so, it is easy to account
for its lack of thrift and to explain
the absence of fine public buildings.
The ride up the lake was very
pleasant one, the water being still
and a cool breeze blowing from the
south, but for some reason the boat
lost time, and instead of $50 it was
$50 before she left on the return
trip and 100 ere Maquam was
reached. But the delay was amply
recompensed by one of the most
beautiful sunsets. Slowly the sun
sank behind the western hills and its
parting rays, shining across the
water, made the lake look like a
sheet of fire. Such delicate tints, fine

NAL Trophy on Monday. private
Locklin of the Richford company
carried off the first medal in the af-
ternoon contest that same day for
the three Webb badges.
The scene under the two large tents
where the banquet was held was a
very pretty one. Plates for 24OO
had been spread in one tent, while
100 persons sat down in the other,
the two being closely connected and
thrown into one. There was moth
ing elaborate about the bill of fare
it was substantial, nothing more.
A distinguished group occupied the
tables where sat the presidential
party, including gentlemen of high
position in military and political
circles. Gen. Veazey was an excel
lent POSTMASTER, and at the close of
the presidents speech Gov. Russell
of Massachusetts,, Gov. futile of
New Hampshire, Gen. Howard,
Secretary Proctor, Attorney Gen.
Miller, Gen. Alger Of Michigan, E. B.

decided ovation, and his addresses at
the monument and at the banquet
were thoroughly enjoyed-clean-cut
and loyal, paying due tribute to the
worth of New England charac-
ter, and declaring in behalf of every
thing that Vermonters and Ameri-
cans in general hold dear. Gov.
Page received many compliments
for his speeches at the monument,
and his acceptance of the deed Of the
property from Ex-Gov. Presco It, the
president of the Battle Monument
Association, was especially graceful
and to the point. A pleasant episode
of the banquet was the presenta tiOn
of a solid gold medal to President
Harrison a t the close of his remarks.
The chief magistrate was evidently
touched, and made this brief but
meaning response: "This memorial
was not needful to preserve in my
heart grateful memories of this
hour
But enough. One might write at
considerable length OF this event
without exhausting his text"
Bennington will remember for some
time to come the events of this week.
The historic locality has been the
Mecca of thousands of loyal YER
monters within the past few days,
and the plain but impressive shaft
which stands there, now formally
dedicated, will continue for all time
to come to draw the worlds atten-
ton and emphasize the significance
of that victory won by Stark on the
battle of Bennington one hundred
and fourteen years ago.

VIII not Let Ills Trees alone.

Squire John W. schultze is in whole
bushel Of trouble. He has had line Of
fine shade trees planted along both sides
OF his property at Thirty-third and
Chapline streets and has erected neat
wooden boxes to protect them, painting
the boxes. The vandals who frequent
that part of the city do not appreciate
the work the Squire has done towards
identifying the city and they persist in
whiting the boxes and pulling the
smaller branches off the trees. The
Squire says that young women do more
Of this than anyone else and that the
little boys who are usually blamed with
such things do not touch the trees nor
the boxes. Hon. John w. is very much
worked up about 1T and says he will
have the offenders indicted for malicious
destruction OF property.
