Many Christina. Tree. Shipped.

The cutting of Christmas trees in
Moretown has begun, T. L. Kissinger of
Buffalo, N. Y, having gone into the
woods with large gang of men. He
expects to cut and load four carloads of
the trees in seven days. This will be
record breaking work in cutting the
trees. Mr.. Kissinger is a large dealer in
Christmas trees, but has always made his
cut in Canada till this year. He con-
siders the Vermont trees far superior to
the Canadian growth and for that reason
is making an experiment with them this
season.
John Hoskins of Hancock, who owns a
large back country farm, gives a new
phase to the Christmas tree question in
this state, disputing the claim that the
practice OF selling thousands of little
spruces to city buyers at each yule-tide is
denuding the forests and Iessening the
feed streams of the main rivers.
According to him, the little trees which
are cut to grace the fireside OF the city
dweller at Christmas time are not the
spruces of the forest on which the future
generation is depending for timber
They are the trees which are creeping
down into the upland pastures. In a
nutshell, the annual trimming out OF
mountain farmer has to reclaim his
mountain pastures from the forests. The
spread of evergreen trees is rapid, accord
ing to Mr.. Hoskins, and every season
hundreds of little spruces spring up on
the edges of the forest. The grass which
grows on such lands is not of sufficient
consequence to warrant the farmer giving
up his time to trim out the trees, but the
land is valuable for pasturage and in get
ting small sum for the trees and at the
same time having the land cleared, the
farmer is really benefited to an extent
hardly realized by the lowland farmer.
The trees which grow in the forest and
which are the basis Of the lumber supply
of the future are so crowded that they do
not grow in the pretty conical form
wanted for decorations. 1t is the isolated
tree from the upland pasture which is
best fitted to adorn the fireside.

Policies That Insure Success in Saw

fOlICieS mar insure SUCCESS IN cav
ings Banks.
Every good banking institution has
certain policies which it follows invari-
ably and which make for the success or
allure of the bank. The Enosburg Falls
8 andard evidently believes the Hyde
Park Savings bank is following the right
kind of policies. 1t says
Ex-Gov. G. S. Page has every reason for
pride and satisfaction over the record
made by the Lamoille County Savings
bank, which on July 18th passed the mill
lion dollar mark in assets. This is dis
tinctively a Vermont institution for it has
been the policy of the bank since its es-
Enlistment that none of it's loans should
be made out of the state. 1t has never lost
dollar by poor note. It's depositors
are to be found in practically every town
in the state. Its policies have COM
manded patronage and made for its
success.
This bank pays A per cent compounded

COAL COMPANIES COMPLAIN.
Charges of Discrimination Made
Against Norfolk and Western.

Against Norfolk and Western.
Complaint was fled with the Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday by six
coal companies in the Coal Creek (Va.)
district, alleging unjust discrimination by
the Norfolk and Western Railroad in
charging 10 cents q ton more on coal from
that district than from the Pocahontas
district. Each of the companies asks rep
aration in the sum of 5000 for excessive
charges.
The complainants alIege that the real
reason for the diferential in favor of the
Pocahontas group is that stockholders Of
the Norfolk ard Western Company are
large owners of stock in the mines of that
district, and until recently officers of the
railroad were also officers in those com
panies, President Johnson. of the Norfolk
and Western, being also president of the
PocahCntas Coal and Coke Company un-
cil q fcw months ago.
