Union and their industries individually, to
CONF in and be seen. State pride has
been adroirly appealed to and the appeal
has generally been successful
Vermont does net remember with pride
or profit the results of her investments in
these expeditions. Money ough wa, ap
propriated for the Chicago show, for a
creditab!e presentation there, but when
tie subject was subsequently referred to,
or when the harvest was counted up, there
!, were derislve comments or disposition to
charge the subject of conversation. Not
much glory came 10 the state from the dis
play and junketing at Nashville, either a

more serious every year. A remedy was

they are not satisfactory farm hands.

Ii the dis nclnaton on the pa OF young
men and women to DO farm work CONTINUES
to increase IN the near futura as it has dur

securing farm l.boreIs will become sei9u,,
AZ d 1t may be necessary to devise some
system to meet the situation. In the mean

Encouraging Outlook for Farmers.

That the vastly improved conditions in
agriculture in the United States are ap-
p-eciated is evident from the manner in
which farms are being snapped up by farm
ers as we'll as by those who see an oppcr-
tunitv for favorable investment 10 property
OF this character. 1t i, only short time
since man could hardly be persuaded to
purchase farm even at the low prices
which prevailed for a number of years but
now all this is changed and the coming
year promises to see an unusual activity in
reality of this nature.
To the student Of economic conditions it
has been evident for some time that marked
appreciation in farm values wa, inevitable
Land is usually the last commodity to feel
| an upward movement in prices, following
an appre ciation in the price of farm prod
ucts aud in this tendency is to be seen
the operation of natural law. All prod
ucts of the soil have for some time been
feeling the influence of this country's large
export trade which has resulted in a net
excess OF exports over imports estimated
at 5000, OOO,0 900; and considerable par
of this i, to be credited to agriculture
The effects of the improved condition., con
sequert upon this largely increased demand
for our article, of export are to be seen il
the advance in the various products of tn
farm.
Butter is retailing at the present tim
for % and 80 cents q pound. Th
farmer is getting four per cent more for hi
wheat than he realized one year ago
Corn is six cents bushel better, and othe
farm products range in proportion. Turn
ing to the south we find that cotton is 2
per cent higher than it was year ago, a
advance which means much for the prosper
ity of the south. Moreover, there is ever
reason to expect that prices of these com
modities will range higher during the com
ing year, and as a natural result there is a
incr eased demand for farms with a conse
quent appreciation in values. All thing
considered the outlook for the farme
could not be better than at present -Bul

The New Century.

Any arbitrary division Of time is but a
portion OF eternity. The century just
closed was an infnitesimal portion of the
everlasting, and the new century will be
nothing more. Yet the finite mind clings
to the milestones and the end of year,
the end of century appeal to all with
varying degrees of solemnity. Each mile
stone is sombre reminder that we shall
never pass that way again.
The last year of memorable century
has passed and the first year of new CEN
fury is upon US. The people OF Bellows
Falls and vicinity have much to be thank
full for in the past and much to hope for in
the future. In another decade, probably
less, Bellows Falls will become the largest
and most important center in Windham
county. Business has been and continues
to be good; the country is assured Of at
least four years more of republican ad-
minisiration; our schools are second to
none; tbs churches of the community are
doing valient work for God and man the
public conscience is being quickened and
Tor thousand and one other things the
readers of the TIMES have cause to be
truly thankful to the bene6cent Creator.
Tbi, paper extends to its readers the
greetings of the season and joins with all
good citizens in wishing for the community
in which we live all the blessings which the
new year and new century have to bestow

taken the paper 40 year, and always paid
for 1t at some time or other, would ask if
the publisher was afraid to trust them over

their bond but whose memory about trifes
is not the best, would forget to pay until
they missed paper or two, and the pub
lisher's refusal to send paper not paid for
in advance would be construed to be crit
ici,m on Their ability to pay. And there
would be others. However, advance pay

porary will find it the correct system IN

The st. Albans Messenger is still asking
the question, Who got Carrigan DRINK
and each time answers, the Ant-Saloon
League. Last week it unearthed some
thing that Boston police court judge said
and it conceded so exactly with the Mes
senger's ideas that it was reprinted in the
editorial column in bold, black letters.
Clrrigan got drunk while treating, in order
to get evidence of violation of the prohib-
itory law. In Boston it was sought to con-
vict several women as inmates OF dis
orderly house on the testimony of p ,lice-
men who visited the house in citizens
clothes in order to get evidence. Th-
judge said: eff a Police officer, under
orders or not, is sent to put person into
position to commit a crime, be is forced
to do q scarcely less meri' orious action
than if he induced men to commit burglary
in order to. arrest them afterward."

Toe cadets it seems are accustomed to give

cadets testified that they bad seen in.tssee,

cadets probably act on the theory that
hazing and war are about the same thing
in principle, but they should be induced tc
