FRANK E. HOWE. Editor and Publishe

The Groton Times says that the
Christmas tree traffic in that section
is showing a decided falling off from
previous years and believes the farm
ers are beginning to realize the value
of these young trees. The $50 license
required by the dealers in these trees
to cut them in this state and the grow
ing interest in forestry that is being de
veloped will no doubt gradually de-
crease this annual slaughter of young
trees, but unless we mistake reports
from different parts of the state there
is being too much of it done this year.
We regret to report that large ship
ment is being made from this point as
has been done for several years past,
though hoping that it is not as large as
formerly and that next year will find
the solicitors for these trees meeting
with such success in this section that
ii will not be profitable for them to
stop.-Lyndonvill Union Journal.
That the enactment of the law re-
quiring license from the Christmas
tree dealers is bringing about the
hoped for conditions will be welcome
news to all who have the real interests
of the state at heart. The business
has been increasing every year and the
New England states have been furnish
ing the trees for the entire country.

First Printer Found.

A French semi.scientifc magazine

story; When Agesilaus observed be-

EFFECT OF EARTH's ROTATION.
Belgian Geologst SO Ascribes Curious
Twists In Tree Trunks.

Curious twists are observed in many
tree trunks, and the inquiry just be-
gan In Europe suggests the surprising
conclusion that they are produced by
the earth's rotation, like the twists OF
storms and the whirls seen in water
Van den Brock, the Belgian geologist,
points out that II conditions of growth
were the cause the torsion should fol.
low the suns apparent path. In at
least $50 out 1000 trees the reverse Is
true, and 1t may be that the twist is
usually to the left in the northern
hemisphere and to the right-or with
the clock-in the southern hemisphere,
like the turn Of the cyclonic storms
and water worthless. This difference is
due to the earths rotation. Jean
Brunhes notes that II was shown
some years ago that the winds due to
the earth's motion blow steadily at a
season when vegetation Is active and

bending and turning then would be
likely TO affect the tree permanently

HARD WORK TO RETAIN YOUTH.
One Man Declares He is Not Envlous

THE tabled secret OF youth, the

ance," said a widely known lawyer OF

joys himself like one, but | know he's

that. He hasn't a gray hair on his
head, his eye is bright, his skin clear,
his step elastic, and his voice strong.
What's the secret? 1t has been an In
flexible habit with him from early
youth to retire at eight o'clock in the
evening and sleep until seven in the
morning. On rising he takes a cold
bath, but many men do that. oh,
that's all easy, you say? It's not so
easy, after all Try it and stick to 1t,
despite engagements at the theater,
business affairs left over from the day
and all the variety OF things Of that
sort, and you'll find It about as hard
a task as you can place before your
self. or course. there have been few
breaks In his lifetime habit. But in

dry existence. prefer this style OF
life, and am willing to die young ac-

The American seautx,s Defects.

If we were to find particular fault
with our American beauties dominant
in the public eye to-day, it would be
their lack OF facial strength, the abb
sence OF soul quality which our
strenuous national life and feverish
ambitions tend TO nullify II not annihi-
late The nobility OF countenance,
the calm, pure, steadfast expressions
seen in the faces of the great sculp-
lures might well be emulated by our
own beautiful women. We lack the
simplicity, the repose OF the period
that produced those beauty types that
have been accepted as standard for
all ages. The American girl, with all
of her glorious qualities needs some
of the serenity and power of old
Greece to make her more perfect than
she is. Her facial weak points are in
her nose and chin and forehead Now
and then one comes upon the strong
type. but II is the exception-Perri-
ton Maxwell In the Bohemian.

Russian Post Office SAVINGS Bank.

Consul T. E, Heenan, of Odessa,
states that although the post office
savings bank system in Russia is of
comparatively late origin, 1t shows
healthy development The annual in
crease in the deposits now averages
about s46,000,0OO The amount on de-
post on August /, 1908, was s5Ol,-
100000, and on the same date in 1907
it had reached 1886, 100000 As there
has not been any real advance in the
national prosperity to explain such an
increase in the nations savings, the
rush to the savings bank can only be
accounted for by the fact of the peo-
pie not desiring to retain large sums
in their homes.-Consular Report.

A stronq Savings Institution.

The strength of savings bank de-
ponds not alone on the size of its de-
posits nor the number of it's depostors
1t depends rather upon the kind of Sc
curities in which the management in
vest their funds and the care with
which these securities are looked af-
ter The Dandy Mirror evidently
thinks these conditions are well met
in the Hyde Park Savings Bank. 1t
says.
Beginning July list, the Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Co.,
of Hyde Park, VT, will pay four per
cent interest on deposits remaining in
it's care for year or more. This is
a particularly strong savings institu-
ton, and during it's existence has in
vested the money Of its depositors
wholly in the state and has never lost
a dollar. Hon. Carroll S. Page, one of
the most able business men in Yer
mont and the states honored ex-Gov-
ernor, is president of the bank--the
kind of president who knows at all
times how the affairs of the bank are
being conducted, and is ever active
in promoting its interests and protect
ing its depositors against possible loss.

How a Philosopher Described a Child.

Brewers Are Worrying.

The beer brewers and distilleries are
evincing great nervousness concerning
the forthcoming platforms of the Ma
tional Democratic and Republican par
ties. They aver that there is imminent
danger that one or both of the National
parties will take up the Prohibition issue
and become its champion. This is a
contamination devoutly to be wished
for, and would be glad to think that the
fears of these public enemies were well
grounded. But there is not much upon
which to base hope that the prognos-
tications of these men are founded in
anything beyond their own guilty con-
sciences. The liquor power of the United
States has held in its grasp the two great
political parties time out of mind, and
it does not seem even a possibility that
either of them will change front on thi:
great question. 1t is true that in Ken
lucky the other day, the Republican
party adopted plank favoring county
local option but this is very mild form
of Prohibition at its best, and the actor
of one State would scarcely influence {
national result. One of these days some
great political party will champion the
Prohibition issue and carry it to victory
but from all present prospects, that party
will be the National Prohibition Party
