About 30 city people are passing the
summer with A. B. Manchester and son,
b. \. Manchester at the Valley farm.
Messrs. Manchester intend to enlarge
their fine residence next year so as to ac-
commodate more city people. Randolph
Herald.
There are hundreds of country homes
more attractive to summer visitors in
this county and there are city people
who would be glad to fill them. We
know this place well. Twenty years or
so ago the Manchesters bought this farm
for $40, 600 and have paid for it out of the
profits on their summer boarders The
big brick farm house has been enlarged,
improved and several thousand dollars
expended on it. Yet there are people
who say that summer boarders do not
pay; people who have not tried it, or
have gone at it wrong. 1t does pay and
Vermont and Addison county ought to
receive thousands of dollars from this
source, every year where it now receives
hundreds.

Home lnvestme nts Pay.

Ira Holden, father of w. w. Holden,
of Mortified, was for many years owner
of 80 acres of land in what is now the
best quarry land in Barre, and from
which thousands of dollars worth of
granite has been taken and distributed
over the country in the past decade,
making that town the most famous
granite center and adding millions to
the wealth of Vermont The land was
used for pasturage but it required a
pretty sharp nosed animal to pick out a
blade of grass between the rocks.
a matter of 80 years ago Mr. Holden
signed note with party, and, as some
times happens in such "A case, had it to
pay. The party who held the note,
which amounted to 5000, consented to
take in payment the 80 acres of pasture
land, and Mr. Holden and his neighbors
considered that he had 'got out of the
note scrape" fairly well in disposing of
the land at $l2 per acre.
In this connection it may be remarked
that less than 25 years ago there was a
class of people in Barre who sat on the
grocery store steps in that little village,
shivered when they heard that some
body had invested a good dollar in the
infant granite industry, and relieved
themselves of all responsibility in the
matter by proclaiming that the granite
business would never amount to any
thing, and incidently thanking the Lord
that they knew enough to keep their
money out of such foolishness and put it
into chewing tobacco.
The Mortified slate industry is getting
much the same kind of encouragement
from a small class of citizens, although
the ranks are thin. 1t is only question
of short time when this thing will
come to an abrupt end in Mortified, as
it did in Barre years ago, says the North
field News.

American cities present the most re-
markable feature of the rapid growth OF
this continent in population and riches.
There has been nothing like it in the
whole. previous history of the world
The stories of Terre Haute Columbus
Youngstown and Harrisburg, crisply
told and fully illustrated in the National
Magazine for August, drive this fact
home in the mind of even the least OBJ
servant. These articles tell how these
cities began, what they are and what
they are doing. Charles Ferguson
article on The Rise of Free Cities Under
the New Industrial Order, in the same
number, makes clear the larger meanings
of this rapid city growth in America
The August National contains also sin
brilliant short stories, a dozen illustrated
articles on various phases of American
life, the usual chatty departments OF
Affairs at Washington, Our Army and
Navy, Timely Topics of the Stage, Note
and Comment and Let's Talk it Over,
rejecting the thoughts and deeds of mer

trations of this number are more thar

The newspaper publisher has to be on
his guard constantly against the chap
who tries to whip somebody through the

Herald. All sorts of sly tricks are
thought up to deceive the publisher, who
will not knowingly lend his agency for
such purposes. Sometimes innocent
little personals float in-innocent on
their face-but which contain hidden
meaning that is we'll understood in the
little community affected. For this
reason, editors always request the names
of the persons furnishing such items.

The growing frequency of nameless
assaults upon young girls in this state is
a matter of serious concern. The laws
do not appear to be adequate to the
crime, and should be amended at the
next session of the legislature. We dc
not believe in mob violence, far from it,
but the human beasts, moral degenerates
etc, who infest this, and other states
should meet with swift and adequate
punishment. Let the officers arrest then
promptly and the courts deal out the
full limit of the law in every case. The
sanctity of the home is the basis Of

The paper of Rev. George w. Phillips
of Rutland read at the 10Sth annual
meeting of the Congregational conven-
ton at Burlington in June appears infull
in the Vermont Missionary. 1t is dis
cussion of how the male portion of the
community can be won over to Christian
belief and experience. The speaker was
ready to admit that the sway of dog
matte teaching and the ''old type of
proof-text persuasion" have gone by,
and suggests a return to the preaching
of the personal Christ says the Herald.
| He adds: mo department of the religious
/ life needs strong, wise treatment at the
moment so much as the emotional side.
Christ found it chaotic and at low
level Ignoble sports and sensuality had
distorted the human instinct for happi-
ness. He changed all this in those who
felt his touch. The blossoms and fruit
of song, prayer and popular worship
were the immediate result Elation of

have insisted on clear thinking, but are
afraid of strong feeling in religion. We
resort to great enthusiasts in every
thing else. But if there is one thing Of
which the average man is afraid Of be
ing suspected, it is that he feels deeply
on the subject of personal piety. Oul
seminaries and pulpits are schools OF
thought, but are intolerant of enthusi

Practically everything the farmer
owns, or has, or has the use of, is taxed,
and taxed good and hard. The special
exemptions are notably few that affect
him favorably. Unless he happens to
have enough personal property to equal
any debts that he may owe, his debts
do not tighten his burden. He cannot
apply his debts toward his real estate
and pay taxes on what he is really
worth, as the merchant or professional
man can.-Randolph Herald.
True, but there is no good reason why
it is so or should remain SO. All the
farmers have to do is to unite and they
can pass any law they wish. Why is 1t
not done? Simply because the farmers
do not trust each other and will not
unite 1t is time they got together
