pay their part of their construction and
maintenance, which might be accom-
plished by system of gates, as in the
case of turnpikes, this question could be
settled to the satisfaction of all fair
minded people. The gates would be not
only for the purpose of collecting toll,
but also as an assistance for regulating
the speed of the motor vehicles usirg the
highways.
PROFESSIONALLY our forthcoming Legis-
lature will pass law in accordance with
these suggestions of Gov. Proctor, and
this vexed question of proper use of the
highways be finally settled
Again, the Register would congratu-
late the people of Vermont upon their
good sense in the selection of their Gov
ernor, and also takes the liberty of sug
costing to the Legislature that they
should carefully consider any just criti-
cisms of State policy which have been
made in connection with this campaign.

Our Representative.

Among a trio of such men as were
presented to the people of this town
for the office of legislative representa-
tive, a choice of either was sure to be
good one. AS the Register stated be-
fore the election, it would be a choice
of men, as all represented the same
general party principles. And the fact
that the farmer element had not had
a personal representative in many years,
if the writer is correctly informed, that
consideration had a bearing upon the
result. 1t is a matter of congratulation,
however, that the town is to be repre-
sented by a Christian man who will
not let party expediency or doubtful
policy of any kind swerve him from the
line Of conscientious duty to himself and
the best interests of the people he will
serve. Willis N. Cady's character is a
guarantee that the public interests will
be upheld in his hands.

Apples a Big Money Crop.

The great fruit market of the world is
the American workman and his staple
fruit is the apple. We think of the
peach and the orange as the great money
makers, however; there are apple or
chards in California and Oregon that are
paying large dividends on from $4,000 to
$4,000 per acre, and Prof. John Craig of
Cornell university says there are a few
orchards in New York state that average
Va net return of $500per acre. While these
last orchards are rare they show, how
ever, the possibilities in apples under the
proper condition of location, care and
management j. II. Hale of South Glas-
tonbury, CT, and Fort Valley, Ca, is a
great peach grower who has lately
entered the list of apple growers, having
established plantation of some four
hundred acres at Seymour, CT. Mr..
Hale says: "If only had little apple
sense thirty years ago when l began
planting peaches and had devoted as
much to apples as l have to peaches, l
am confident that my apple orchards
would now be giving me returns equal
to the income of a million-dollar invest
ment."

PRES. JOHN E. WEEKS
Extends His Thanks Formally to
all Assisting During the
Recent Fair.

In behalf of the Addison County Agri-
cultural Society l wish to thank the
many exhibitors, who, by reason of their
exhibits, made the department OF ex-
hibits at our recent fair such f1attering
success. Also would l thank the mer-
chants and townspeople of Middlebury
for their ready acceptance of my sug.
gestions in regard to decorations, and
the merchants for their generous CO.
operation in closing their places of
business afternoons during the fair,
which assisted greatly in increasing
the attendance. To the public in general
and to all, who in way assisted in max
ing the 62d annual fair the pronounced
success it was, feel personally indebted
as have asked many favors and courte-
sizes, all of which have been very gra-
ciously extended.
Very truly yours,
JOHN E. WEEKS, Prest.

How to Milk,

AS rule We find it most convenient to
milk the fore teats together and the back
ones together. Some claim that by milk
ing crosswise, one hind teat and one for
ward one, that it has a tendency to
throw the udder out of balance. l
never noticed any bad results from so
doing, but, as a rule, most cows give the
most milk from the rear quarters and if
they are MIXED crosswise, the work does
not come out even, and it requires more
changing around, but whichever way
you start, continue that way, as they get
accustomed to it and do much better.
In case the front quarters are shy milk
ers, especial pains should be taken to
thoroughly empty these quarters 50 as
to encourage larger flow and to get and
keep more perfectly balanced udder.

William j. BRYAN.

Mr.. Bryan returned from his European
tour last week, and was received in
New York by an immense throng of
Democrats, who feted and Toasted him
in the most elaborate manner.
His home coming had been advertised
far and wide and delegations came from
the extreme West and South to be at the
grand reception laid out for him.
Many Republicans babe him a warm
welcome, the Republican press, espec-
tally, treating him with great Difference
on account of his being a distinguished
American who, by his urbanity of man
ner and distinguished position at home
had impressed himself upon the noted
personages of Europe.
The Democratic Press had announced
him rs the Moses who was to lead the
wandering and divided party to the land
of promise, with a view of ultimately
in case of his election as president, to
the fat offices of the national govern
ment
Mr.. Bryan's speeches at his reception
were lauded to the skies and he was
looked upon by the average politician as
modern wonder.
But Mr.. Bryan is one of the kind of big
men who cannot be controlled, even by
his best friends. If he has anything to
say he is going to say it. And he has.
He has marked out his political policy,
and it smacks so thoroughly of socialism
that the more discreet portion of the
press and leaders have already disowned
him as political factor.
The New York World and the Times
have both called him down on his avowed
advocacy of the public ownership of rail-
roads and a number of the Democratic
leaders are criticising his position. They
are repudiaiing him as a Moses to the
party and predicting all sorts of failures
unless he takes back track on this ques-
ton. What the outcome will be time
alone will reveal. The REGISTER, how
ever, offers him welcome home.

Sensible Vacation.

The vacation, from being an incident
of modern life. is rapidly becoming an
institution. If it marches forward with
as steady pace as it has in recent years,
the two weeks off every summer will be
solidly established. Now the more the
vacation habit fixes itself, the more is
attention being paid to the difference be-
tween the wise vacation and the foolish
vacation. And it is even coming to pass
that the glitter and glare Of the summer
resort is beginning to wear off at this
early stage in the progress.
A Chicago manufacturer was quoted
the other day as saying that he was
weary of letting the young men of his
office staff go to summer hotels, where
they grew tired instead of rested. where
they fell into worse habits than they
keep at home, and where they were gen.
orally deprived of vigor, discipline and
moral tone instead of being restored to
good "form." Of course, he is not his
clerks keeper, and he can't control their
disposition of their time. But he pro-
poses to undermine their summer hotel
habit by indirect methods, and to tempt
as many of them as he can to going off
into the woods, where they can fish,
shoot, camp out, tramp, row; come up
into Vermont and breath our life giving
breezes,or otherwise build up their physi.
cal powers in preparation for the winters
siege of work.
