STATE PRESS.

Looking at it from an outsider
viewpoint, the cigar and soft drink
amendment to the liquor law, as
passed in 1904, is working against
the interest of temperance by leading
men to drink intoxicating liquor
when they would be apt to call for a
cigar or a soda after round Of
drinks with party Of friends were
1t not for that amendment. Being a
total abstainer from the use Of intox-
icating liquor, the writer has often
had cause to note cases of this char
aCter, and at times wonders why so
called temperance reformerS should
uphold such a law when it increases
the sale of intoxicantS. "Take one
on me! !" emo! I've had enough old
boy! Gimme cigar!" Cant sell
cigars" replies the genial bartender.
"It's agin the law!" "Well, l guess
I'll take a small pony of lager" says
the would be smoker; and that being
disposed of, one pony follows
another in rapid succession until it's
question as to whether the ponies
or man will win the race. The
average man is "social kind of a
critter," and the law tends to con6ne
his bar room hospitality to intoxi-
cants alone is not temperance meas

THE SWEETEST EXHIBIT.
Remarkable Maple Sugar Display In
Pure Food Building.

Remarkable Maple Sugar Display In
Pure Food Building.
Vermont would be well advertised at
the jamestown exposition If it had no
other display than the maple sugar
exhibit in the Pure Food building This
occupies nearly 1000 square feet and Is
conceded to be one of the greatest at
fractions in the building.
The Vermont booth contains an eX~
tensive exhibit of maple sugar and
maple slrup The process of sugar
making is illustrated here, and a gen
uine "sugaring OFF, takes place daily
in the presence of a crowd of interest
ed spectators. Several brick arches
and three evapOrators are in use in the
manufacture Of maple goods. A min
iature sugar camp, showing the old and
the new ways of sugar making, Is also
on exhibition.
Several tons Of sugar and strip al
ready have been sold at the sugar
BOOTH which is in charge Of President
A. j. Croft Of the Vermont Maple Sug
mr. Makers association. The exhibit IS
made Jointly by the Sugar Makers as
sociation and the state Of Vermont,
One of the main purposes Of the dis
play is to advertise the purity of the
Vermont product.
In the booth, as a very illustrative
part Of the exhibit hot pancakes and
maple strip are served for the delec
tatiOn of guests.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. E. Croft of East
Fairfield Vermont, are the active
managers of the exhibit. n. WV mt

into fifteen second spaces, The I'M
usual feature of the watch face is
that the hour hand is a little trian-
gular pointer which revolves outside
the numerals, while the minute hand
is an arrow which revolves within.
The other dials are queerer still, for
their figures revolve while the soil
tary hand that adorns each face
stands still.
When you talk with a man twenty
five or two hundred and fifty or a
thousand miles away, as the case
may be, the details Of your call are
recorded on an order ticket, which
goes to toll operator. She slips
this ticket into the slot in the calcu-
lagraph and at the proper time pulls
down one of the levers. This regis
tiers the exact hour and minute OF the
beginning of the connection, thus
identifying it for record purposes by
printing on the order the watch face,
hands and all, while it also leaves
impressions of the two other dials,
though no hand appears on either Of
them.
When the calculagraph is not in
active use the dials showing the sub
divisions OF the hour and the five
minute period arc motionless, with
their hands pointing to zero. Pull
ing the lever sets the dials going, but
the hands remain stationary, so when
the mechanism is stopped these in
dicators show just how long the dials
have been moving. The instant the
operators gets the signal that tells
her that you are through talking she
slides the ticket into the calcula-
graph again and pulls down the
other lever. That prints an arrow
like hand into each OF the blank
dals, registering the exact lapse Of
time down to the seconds. To give
full measure the company allows on
every call fifteen seconds leeway on
the elapsed time the calculagraph
records,

think perhaps if we could spare
the time from other reading and look
up the address of Lincoln at Gettys-
burg, and renew our acquaintance
with the terms he used then, we
might change our minds, and posi-
bly, conclude that the use Of a few
feet of soil for this purpose might
not be desecration or spoliation.
The village meeting called for the
purpose of getting the consent of the
village for this location was fairly
