SPARE THE TREES.

In letter to the Burlington Free Press
Clifton ID. Howe, who was employed by
the National Bureau of Forestry last
summer to inspect the timber of Yer,
mont, presents some strong arguments
why the business of cutting young
spruce treas for the city Christmas trade
should be stopped. Besides, the article
gives some extremely interesting facts
about this rapidly growing business
The writer says that The farmer of Yer
mont receives two and one-half cents
per tree, and the same tree brings any
where from % cents to one dollar in the
markets of Philadelphia or New y DIRK.
If this business of cutting young spruces
for Christmas trees is to be carried on
in the present proportions the farmers Of
the state may as well get something like
the value of their trees. Barre Times.

NO..

There is undeniably growing senti-
ment in the state among men of recOg-
nized soundness of Judgment that the ref
erendum vote on the license act should
be mo" This conclusion it should be
said is being reached through belief
that rural Vermont has not the means to
handle the saloon with safety. There is
questonably much reason in this view.
Rural communities are governed a good
deal on the neighborly plan, and neigh
borly indulgence to petty vioaters of
law is a condition difficult to eradicate.
In cities where arbitrary police super
vision is operative, the case is different.
As rule the men who are taking this
view have no use for the foreign anti
saloon league superntendents, who are
advertised as about to descend upon the
state, to teach the best read people in
the world their civic duties Morrisville

PLACING THE RESPONSIBILITY,

The democrats and Clement men who
joined hands to help dismiss the caucus
bill, having succeeded in their attempt
10 aid in multiplying the republican
pledge to give the honest voters protec-
ton against fraud in caucuses, the ques-
ton arises whether the caucus system
better not be dropped. There is no such
system in some of the states and they
get along very well without it. 1t is
certain that thousands of honest Yer
mont republicans are tired of being re-
quired to vote for candidates virtually
nominated by democratic votes in So
called republican caucuses, and do not
propose hereafter to attend primaries in
which their votes may be offset by the
votes of their opponents, nor to acknowl-
edge any obligation to support nomina-
tons carried by democratic votes. aided

REAL FARMER FAIRS .

The Poultry Journal, in its issue of
October 3, started a discussion on fairs
that Is bound to do much good. 1t said :
Now that the great agricultural fairs
are all held and the shekels of the gran
gers repose In the pockets of the mana
gers, it is worth while TO ask, "In what
way have the four fairs held in this
vicinity benefited the farmers ~
This was copied by the Rutland Herald
and commented upon and from this arose

L YOU HAVE PAIN IN YOUR BACK
Do Not Be Deceived. You have
Kidney Trouble, and You Do
Not Need a Physician to
Tell You So.

Pain in the back is an almost infallible
sign of kidney disease; a surer sign is
the condition of your urine. If you have
pain in the back, then look to the con-
dition of your urine. 1t is easily done.
Take a glass or tunbler and fill it with
urine after 1t has stood "a hours, if it
has sediment, if It is milky or cloudy,
| If it is pale or discolored, stringy or ropy,
ySur kidneys and bladder are in a dam
gorous condition and need immediate at
tcntion, or the consequences may prove
fatal. DR.. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy is the one medicine that really
cures all diseases of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspep-
sia and chronic constipation, and it will
take you but a short trial to convince
yourself of its wonderful curative power.
