Morbid Women

When people have trouble. and real
trouble. they don't SIT down and analyze
all their emotions, and remember
whether this person or that person,
looked 10 the right or TO the left when
they spoke 10 them.
Morbidness should be counted as a
wicked demand that can be driven out.
Healthy cOmpaniOnsElp. plenty Of
laughter. good long walks IN the sun

DIES IN FOREIGN LAND.
John HaInon, an Aged and Re-
spected Farmer of ornwaIl
Dead

A cablegram has been received here
from Ireland stating that John Halnon,
respected citizen of Cornwall, had died
there. Instructions were promptly
cabled by his relatives to send the body
here. Mr.. Halnon came to America
when young man and became a pros
porous farmer, owning one of the finest
farms in this section. He was about rs
years old and is survived by wife, five
daughters, Mrs. Thomas Carrigan of
Fowler, Mrs. John Halpin, Misses Hattie
Maud and Genevieve Halnon, and three
sons, John, Frank and George, all of
Middlebury and Cornwall. Mr.. Halnon
had long wanted to return to his native
country for a visit and sailed few weeks
ago. The cause of his death is not
known.
Further announcements made later.

A Savings Bank Which Never Lost
Dollar on Poor Note

The Vergennes Enterprise & Yer
monter thinks that the good luck the
Hyde Park Savings Bank has had IN
placing its loans is due to the policies
of this Bank in investing its money at
home. 1t says:
The Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Company of which Carroll S. Page is
president, passed the million dollar mark in
its assets July II. This bank has never lost
dollar on poor note and makes all its in
vestments in Vermont This fact may be one
Of the secrets of success of this financial in
stitution. 1t has been noticed before that
everything that ex-governor Page is interest
ed in is successful.
This Bank pays 4 per cent. com
pounded semi-annually on deposits of

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6. 1907.

There is a great deal of complaint
among not only the citizens of Middle
bury, but those who come to Middlebury
for their marketing or otherwise, in
regard to automobiles standing upon or
near the stone bridge, often by the hour
and at all times, both day and night.
This should be entirely stopped. The
recent accident to Mr.. Bingham's horse
which resulted in the death of the horse,
was the result, as we understand of SINH
lar conditions, the horse being fright
ened by an automobile whilst standing
upon our streets. Luckily no person was
injured, but no such accident can take
place without very great risk of one OF
more persons being injured, very posi-.
bly, killed.
Under no circumstances should any
vehicle be permitted to block up OIL
assist in blocking up any narrow road
and especially one that like our bridge
is constantly being crossed by many
vehicles. We presume that our trustees
will see that this nuisance is removed

Names Dues Lowest.

State Master Gardner of Maine says
the Maine state grange requires smaller
dues from subordinate oranges than
any other grange in the country, 16
cents a year for each member of the
subordinate oranges, while no other
state takes less than "a cents, and
some as high as 40 cents and 60 cents
The next lowest to the Maine rate is
"a cents, and figuring for the nine
years that Mr.. Gardner has been mas
ter of that state. they would have add
ed at least S27,0 900 to their state treas
ury had they had this rate He be-
lieves that they would not have the
hundreds Of splendid grange halls now
owned by subordinate oranges through
out the state if they had.

Oreqon State Granqe.

Oregon is one of the few states that
does not hold its annual meeting until
June. The membership in the state is
only about 6.500. or about the same as
the membership In Jefferson county,
New York state, alone. The increase
in membership during the past year is
reported to be 1913. The grange in
Oregon, though small, is very active
under the leadership or State Master
Buxton. At the recent session $500
was appropriated for the work Of or
ganization.

very easily made for timing the automo-
biles, by telephone, when they leave the
village limits, and when they pass any
house on the road.
1t is equally important that in every
town where roads are posted, the law
should be enforced. Naturally, the COM
munity look to their selectmen, and Their
town grand jurors, to attend to this, but
if necessary, an organization should be
formed. in every town to prosecute al
such offenders. Eternal vigilence is the
price of Liberty.

been of the best quality to be found at
fairs. The music was pronounced by
many to be as good as was ever given at
the fair, and much credit is due Leader
Cobb for his selections and dictatorship
of the band.
The exhibition of Morgan horses was
one of the many attractions and it has
proved the finest display ever seen in
Vermont. Cattle and swine have been
much in evidence and are also among
the best seen for years. Special mention
of the sheep exhibit should be made as
the largest number of high blooded sheep
ever put on exhibition.

Although our last legislature did not
pass such law for the regulation of
automobiles as the great majority of the
people of our State want, and will event
ually have, STILL as the Register has
several times remarked, there is law
enough at present to largely protect the
people, if the law was properly enforced.
This is illustrated by the recent case in
Ripton when an automobilist was prose-
cuted for running his machine at a
higher speed than that fixed by the town,
and fined $25 and cost, amounting in
the aggregate to about $50, which was
paid. We hardly think that there will
be any more trouble in Ripton, as the
law provides more severe penalty, in
GLIDING ten days imprisonment, and for
second offense a fine not to exceed 5000,
nor less than S25, and imprisonment not
to exceed six months, or both, with costs.
1t therefore will be seen that if towns
both post their roads, and prosecute
offenders, the very great dangers which
avoided, but if they do not prosecute
when the law is violated, posting in
many cases will have no effect.
The road between Middlebury and East
Middlebury, being turnpiked is especially
dangerous for meeting or passing auto.
mobiles. 1t is also used very extensively
by teams, probably more than any other
road in town, and therefore was very
properly posted by our selectmen.
But we have been informed by several
parties, living on the road, that since il
was posted repeatedly automobiles have
been found going at extreme speed, very
much faster than the limit, s miles ar
hour Several serious accidents have
already occurred including the overturn,
ing of a carriage containing one or more
ladies'.
The selectmen should see that every
automobiles exceeding the speed limits
is prosecuted. Arrangements could be

A NATIONAL GRANGE BUREAU
OF Publicity and Information to In
teneify Grange Influence.
Especial Correspondence.l

Especial OOrreopOnQenCe.l
That the Order Of Patrons Of Hus-
bandry possesses a mighty influence
when II is rightly exerted is beyond
question. But its potentiality may be
frittered away and be rendered ineffec.
tual by lack of concentration. In or
der to centralize its power and make
its real strength available it seems
to the writer that a national grange
bureau Of publicity and information
should be established.
The object of this bureau should be
the procuring and dissemination of in
formation relative to all subjects Of
national legislation in which the
grange may be actively interested.
In order to secure unanimity of ac-
ton on the part of Pomona and subOr-
dinate oranges on subjects of national
legislation it is obviously necessary
that they be kept thoroughly posted
ON all grange legislation that may be
pending in congress. That grange pc
titions and resolutions forwarded to
members of congress had much weight
with them when the denatured alcohol
no doubt. But such petitions and res.
buttons were not as influential as they
might have been. nor were there n
tenth part in number of what there
should have been had there been a
systematic correspondence with the
oranges by some central bureau Of in
formation at the very time when peti-
no a
the most weight with our national rep
reSentatives.
This year there Is likely to be unit
ed effort on the part of national, state
and subordinate oranges to secure the
passage of a parcels post bill. How
shall the combined strength of all
grange forces be best brought to bear
on congress when the proper time ar
rives? Surely not by leaving the
oranges to act when and in what man
ner they please or not at all. There
should he intelligent, united action and
at the right time A central bureau Of
information would secure from all
available sources Il variety of informa-
ton, statistical and argumentative,
post and. having condensed and sum-
married. this information, forward it as
frequently as necessary to the subor-
dinate oranges TO be read and discuss
ed in the grange. Then when united
action by petition or resolution Is de-
sired the oranges will be accurately, in
formed and can therefore act intelli-
gently and promptly on any date ad-
vised by the managers of the bureau
of informe ton, who should be the ma
tional Legislative committee.
The distribution of the literature
among the subordinate oranges could
be accomplished by mailing the same
direct to each subordinate grange from
the national bureau Of publicity and
information, or each state grange could
establish state bureau of information
and the literature emanating from the
national bureau could be sent by ex-
press to each state bureau and there
be distributed among the oranges of
the state.
This systematic educational work in
the subordinate oranges would apply
to all matters of legislation demanded
by the national grange,

Friday afternoon, being introduced by
Judge Joh' E. Weeks, and made short
speech. He said the success OF fairs re-
manned entirely with the farmers; that
an honestly conducted fair is the best
warned parents to look after the educa-
ton of their children. He said that
this State was fast coming to the front,
and paid glowing tribute to the farmers
of this county
The fair has proved far greater sue
cess than the management even hoped
for. Taking all four days fully 40, 900
people were at the fair, which without
doubt is the largest attendance at any
fair held within the State for many years.
I Brattleboro has for long time been Mid
dlebury's rival, but this is no longer so,
since this years record has beaten

! People from all over the country who
have had exhibits here are well pleased
and Secretary Fred Hamilton has been
besieged with applicants all day for space
on the grounds next year. Fakirs from
Maine to California have visited the fair
