pleasure at being able to be IN this
booming little city, and especially at
being the guest Of the men OF the
Congregational church. The subject on
which he was to speak, the governor
said, was Vermont; and In the talk
wlrich followed, he made everyone pres
ent glad that he was Il Nermonter
Gov. Bell started by saying that Yer
mont Is the very best corner of the
earth in which to ike, and that the
people who live in this state are the
pick Of the nation He said that Ner-
aaonters are in demand every whare, be-
eRase Of that native quality that makes
them ever ready to do their duty,
Since | have been chief executive of
this old state, | have had the fact of
the worth of my native state more deep
" impressed ia by heart than ever be-
fore. chiefly because ! have accepted
cvery invitation which have received
to attend meetings Of Vermont societies
in other states. He went on to say
that there is more love for their native
state among yermonters out in the big
cold world than among the natives ~
any other state
He then explained why II ~ that this
ID 40, ard why Nermonters amount tc
so much wherever they may be. The
fact that nearly everyone Of these pso-
pie who have gone out from Vermont
have come from farm homes is what
gixesa,shenl their sterling qualities, the
Il M, pr said There they were taught
MI, To mind their mothers and once
u AsFhiIe to do as their fathers told
{ tsaMn. when they were children Hs
mid that a person who has been brought
up on farm thinks more Of his old
henle in after years than do people
Nko are brought up in any other place
On earth. Everyone whom havs
talked with who was brought up IN Ver.
nrcnt and has gone out into the world
says that they are coming back hers
as soon as they get a little more mon
ey.
Now, you see, the idea prevails thai
there is no money to be made in Yer
mont, and especially on the farm HI
went on to show that there i inst a.
much money to be made on q farm By
knowing how 20 manage it as thcr,
is at any other occupation.
There il more opportunity In agri
! culture inst now than there ever wat
before The Teasm for this. he said
! il the faet that sNeFmnfSt products II
the cities are getting snch a reputation
that just to say a thing was raised
in Vermont will sell it. Why, we thinl
it is wonderful, the price that oranges
raised in laiifornia, oring in Vermont
Do you know that apples rased IN Al
olson county. this state, are selling today
lin New York for 81 90 a dozen 4
murrnur went through the audience ri
4 that statement. and the governor gave
as his proof the fact that one of ths
members Of his stan few days ags
bought some apples at a fruit stand il
/ that city and gave an even dollar fol
twelye Of them. They were nice ones
4 10 be- sure. but no nicer than lots q
our fruit. The gentleman who boughi
\ them was curious to know where thes
came from and so enquired Hewas tols
/ the name OF the man who raised then
I and the town where he lived. It wal
JsTUninent farmer in Addison county
That 7saFsner has studied hew tn rails
the best kind Of apples and has hol,
( everyone he could raise at fancy pric'
in New York
The speaker then went on TO ten o
the beautiful things IN nature to b
found in Vermont, saying that not onl,
were there many beautiful places il
Vermont, but that one could not q
rod on country road without flndini
a scene that people In other cities conn
here and exelaim over and think it i
wonderful.
