NORTHAMPTON'S
PRIZE GARDENS
Extremely Interesting Address by
George w. Gable Wednesday Evening.

An audience of about 200 members
of the Brattleboro Woman s club and
friends listened Wednesday evening to
George w. Cables entertaining talk
on northampton s Prize Gardens. Mr.
Gable has a most interesting person.
ality and a convincing manner OF
speaking, and this together with the
fact that he was speaking on sub
iect especially dear to his heart made
the talk an inspiring one. The prize
gardens of Northampton are a part OF
the work Of the Home Culture club OF
that city, a club which does work
among 1900 or 1900 young working
men and women. The prize garden
contest has completed its eighth year
and last year $50 gardens entered the
competition. The contest is modelled
on a similar scale to that in the town
of Dunfermline, Scotland, the birth
place of Andrew Carnegie, and it is
through the generosity of Mr. Carnegie
that the yearly prizes are available.
The prizes were made large and to this
fact is attributed no small part of the
success of the contest. Fifteen prizes
are awarded each year, the highest be-
ing SIS, and 800 the sum of the whole
Is prizes.
The contest is open to adults only as
the main idea is to enlist the man OF
the house and to stimulate in him the
care and pride of his home. Three
Judges are appointed to award the
prizes and 25 visitors go about during
the garden season to say chow does
your garden grow?' and to give prac,
teal advice. This thing alone has
done wonders in promoting neighborly
feeling among all classes of people
The field of contest is divided into five
sections in each of which prizes must
be given to three contestants. There
is a rule that not alone the competitors
who show the best gardening are to be
rewarded but also those who have
made the most earnest effort and
the largest progress toward the best
gardening. Another rule is that pro
gress must be forward. One who has
taken a high prize can never take
lower one although winners OF first
prizes may compete in a class by
| themselves.
Through the winter months course
of lectures on practical gardening If
given at the Home Culture club where
also a plant and shrub exchange has
been established and things may be
bought at a nominal cost.
The whole scheme is an exceedingly
practical one and is being adopted in

Latest from the Legislature.

The $1,000 liuqor license bill was;
not called up in the legislature Tues
day The committee was nos ready
to report and vote will not be taken
before Thursday.
The situation is still an enigma
The high license advocates claim a
majority of six votes for the bill,
while those opposed say the bill will
be defeated by six votes.
Wickwire's bill directed against
bucket shops was taken up. This bill
drawn after the best known bills of
several states, aims to provide against
every form of bucket shop, however,
organized, and provides heavy fines
and Imprisonment for the violation
of the act There is little doubt but
that the bill will pass the house.
The public depository bill, just as
outlined in these columns some days
ago, was reported back to the senate.
AS predicted the bill as reported car
ries no provision for the increase of
the salaries of the treasurers of the
state, and that will probably be made
the ground for attack. Unless the
situation changes, this bill will have
a pretty hard pull to get through in a
recognizable form before the general
assembly is over.

tration bill without any pity on it at
ALL The vote on the measure stood
Is to 81. This bill had been made the
special order for Tuesday afternoon
at 80 and the senate took just about
an hour in deciding that the condi-
tons in Indiana did not justify the
passage of the bill. The expense feat
ure of the measure was taken as an
other ground for defeat, and between
the two ideas of righteousness and
economy, the bill did not stand much
