DISINTERESTED TESTIMONY.

The people of Vermont will be in
tercsted in what must be regarded as
entirely unprejudiced testimony with
reference to Vermont's representation
in the jamestown exposition. The cap
tain in the United States revenue SER
vice who is in charge Of tho govern
ment exhibit OF that service at James
town has written to a resident of Bur
Hngton and in the course of his letter
he says:
I have taken keen interest in the
Vermont State exhibits and the State
building. I am we'll within bounds IN
saying that the State is most appro-
priately and most interestingly repro
scented by its four exhibits, in four diff
ferent buildings, the history. mines,
States and Vermont State buildings,
each OF which is of great interest. The
State building Is unique In It's colonial
cottage style. and has attracted wide
and favorable attention. The hostess
Mrs Goddard OF Montpelier, is most
charming and hospitable, and is ac-
counted one of the most pleasing OF
mitted to know quite a little of the
history of the various States buildings
and ! am prepared to say that the ono
entertainment at the Vermont build
Ing was one Of the most artistic and
modest Of any OF the State functions
I am telling you this so that you may
refute any criticisms you may hear
You Will know tho facts from an en-
tirely unprejudiced observer"
This language seems to be explici'
as well as comprehensive, and 1t would
indicate that the money spent for ad
vertising at the Jamestown exposition
was not wholly lost. We suppose 4

and sanatoria for Its treatment. At three
meeting in the administration building at
which Dr. f. r. Baldwin, the we'll known
specialist OF Saranac Lake, and others
will speak. Visitors from Burlington can
leave on the flyer at noon and return on
the flyer at GAO
Tho purposes and plans of the sanato-
the meeting, but for the benefit of those
who will not be present 1t may be well
to emphasize the fact that the Vermont
sanatorium is intended only for those
early cases Of pulmonary tuberculosis,
In which there Is reason to expect cure,
or at least such Improvement Of their
condition that they may become wage
earners again. 1t is also an educational
institution where patients are to be
taught the simple but important laws
OF hygienic living necessary for their
own well being, and where they will also
acquire the essential habits Of personal
| cleanliness, so that, although they may
not be cured, they will cease to be a
menace to those bout them, when they
return to their homes.
In addition to incipient cases as de-
| fined by the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis Il
is explained that those who have had a
daily temperature not exceeding 100 de-
grces, SOC impairment of general
strength: moderate loss OF weight, with
one or both api>es showing dullness, with
rales, with iaryngeal and marked digcs-
tive disturbances absent, are suitable for
treatment Patients with marked symp.
toms Of digestive disturbances, or with
| laryngcal invoNment as shown by loss
Of voice or hoarsencss; with night
sweats, regular afternoon elevations of
temperature above loo degrees, great loss
of weight, or with frequent attacks Of
diarrhoea, even when there are COM
paratively few signs in the lungs, could
not be admitted to the sanatorium.
The Vermont sonatorium is charit-
able institution built as a free gift and
partially supported by an endowment, and
physicians are urged not to recommend
for admission those who are able to meet
the larger charges OF private institutions
or regular resorts as this Sanatorium Is
| tot.

rapid progress since then. OF the many
meetings and warm welcome the society

which had always been extended the So
clety by the city OF Burlington
Mr.. Kinney then touched upon the
great aim and hope of the society as a
body that Of making Burlington a great
distributing poirt for all the fruit and
produce raised in Vermont. He spoke of
the fine location Of the city In the very
heart of the Champatn valley where
the erection of great cold stora &c
building would draw farmers from all
parts Of the State to put their products
into storage. 1t should he a plant where
could he stored thousands Of barrels Of
apples. and which would be an insptra-

COUNTY REPORTS.

Tho reports OF the vice-presidents from
f. l. Wright of Middebury reported for
tcrcst In this county In the matter Of
apple growing, and many sprayins
machines have been purchased. The last
season has been hard one for young
trees in the C, unity, and the early potato
crop was a failure, although the crop
of late potatoes was large. Up to the
present time, no San Jose scale has been
discovered In this county
Grand Isle county was reported by D.
r. Trombley Of Isle La Motto, who
stated that owing to the cold spring all
fruit was late, and on account OF the
shortened growing period none OF the
fruit reached its normal size. In the
north end OF the county only about %
per cent OF the usual crop was realized
while In tho south end the crop was
normal. Nearly all the fruit In the
county was sold on the trees. with ad-
vantage TO the sellers
Orange county was reported by A
NJ. Vaughn OF Randolph, in the alb
sence OF p, II. Morse OF the same town
The report showed that while this
county was rather behind in the mat
ter OF setting out young orchards
there was awakened interest in the
subject of apple growing.
Windsor county was reported by
George w Perry of Chester as ashow-
ing the least improvement in the mat
ter OF apple growing, While apples
that were sold in this county brought
good price, no now orchards have
been set out. and most OF tho farmers
preferred to sell their apples for cider
Conditions could be improved in this
county, he stated, If the farmers would
take better care Of their orchards,

MAYORS WELCOME.

In his "cmarks, Mr. Bigclow spoke
of the facilities which Burlington pos
sesses for entertaining State organlza-
tons. and said that the city was al
ways glad to welcome conventions with
in her borders as they brought lead
ers in all lines of Wort. to the city. The
organization, he said, was to Nc con-
graduated on one thing moro than all
others, and that was, that If the state
of Vermont has in away ceased to be a
market for horses and turkeys an her
maple sugar has been SO aduateratcd
that it is received with suspicion in the
outside markets, but tho favor of its
fruits cannot he adultcrated and
she IS still unmatched FOR her
fine apples. He compared the condition
OF affairs In the past when the apple
crops were left to take care of them
selves with the present time, when the
very best methods OF raising apples are
employed. anC the apple-ra!sins part OF
farming has become a business In it
self. Mayor Bigclow urged the members
of the society especially to Interest their
youn men ana boys in this part of tho
work, and pointed out that their aim
should be to have the younger men de-
vclop tho orchards tn t they had set
out rattle" than the mon of middle or
advanced age. He touched also on the
help problem and offered some sugges-
tons for the consideration of the mem
bers of the society whereby the ques-
ton Of help from the foreign element
could he solved by establishing a sys-
tom Of cooperation among the laborers

DID BOOKS ARE HEIRLOoMs.

Frank h. Edgerton of Bennington IS
the owner Of three interesting books all
Of which are nearly a hundred years Old,
while the Oldest is 100 years. They have
been handed down from generation to
generation as n sort of a heirloom
"Eliotts Debate on tho Constitution"
the title of one was printed in the year
1857. The second book is entitled AN
American Gazetteer of the American
Continent also OF the West India Is
lands" 1t was printed in Boston in 1910
The most interesting OF the three is an
account book OF Mr Edgerton's great
grandfather. Francis Buck. The inscrip-
ton IN the book is as follows: Francis
Buck SALISBURY, Vermont, his book for
1901" Although the book is dated 1904
It runs through a period Of nearly a
quarter of a century Mr.. Buck was a
shoe maker and some OF the accounts
read as follows; April s. 1917. Stephen
Robinson. DR., 10 tapping shoes %
cents" March %, 1918, David Robinson,
Jr., DR.. to tapping shoes for daughter
20 cents" Sept %, 1913. Heman Swift.
DR., to a pair of thick shoe. 81" Another
account shows the price of rye at that
time. "James Greenslct DR.. to one peck

VERMONTS FIRST CAPITOL.
As the result OF efforts by the Yer
mont branch of the Daughters of the
American Revolution to have the
quaint, historic building In Rutland,
which constituted Vermont's first State
House, set aside and turned into a
public museum OF antiquities. 1t is
likely that the project will take con-
crete form in the near future. The
picturesque old structure was erected
1872 years ago and is located in the
heart of the city, most interesting
