FARMERS hereabouts, according to a
correspondent Especially those who vot-
ed for a change in 1922, are beginning to
realize what free wool means. Ten and
twelve cents pound, is not very high
figures. The-New York World told peo-
pie, that free wool would make it cheap
er for those who bought it, and yet those
that sold it would get more, and many
believed it because the World said so.
But nothing convinces one like hard,
cold facts and ten cent wool carries its
own moral, and it is an eloquent one.

which time the individual communion
cups" will be used for the first time, if

THE New York papers of last Sunday.
reported a sermon by the Rev. Chas. S.
Robinson, D.. D., the subject being
MANY Mansions" DR.. Robinson is
well known as the compiler of some of
the most popular church hymnals, and
lately he has, at considerable expense to
himself of time and money, secured the
New York Presbyterian church, Seventh
avenue and 12Sth street, from being sold
for debt. DR.. Robinson would not take
pastorate, but freely gave his services
for this noble object. Your Bennington
friends, congratulate you on the success
of your work, DR.. Robinson.
OUR farmers are, generally, done with
their haying for this year. The Hay
Trade Journal claims to have advices
from England, France, Scotland and Ger
many which say that the largest crop of
hay known in several years has been Sc
cured in all those countries. Such
sweeping news as this, launched at a
period when it is most likely to effect
the marketcan safely be taken with sew
eral grains of allowance. Hay is doubt
less going to be cheap. but be it remem-
bered that the above is the kind of tune
that buyers like to sing in farmers ears.
