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 year for each member of the
subordinate oranges, while no other
state takes less than "a cents, and
some as high as 45 cents and GO 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 $27, 900 TO their state treas
ury had they had this rate. He be-
lleves that they would not have the
hundreds of splendid grange halls now
owned by subordinate oranges through
out the state if they had.

The Kind of Savings Bank
for vermont

The Brandon Union thinks that the
Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Company typihes the kind OF
Bank which Vermonters should be in
terested in. 1t says:
On July IL the assets of the Hyde Park
Bank passed the 100000 mark. Bear in
mind that this is an all Vermont institution,
not dollar of its capital is or ever has been
invested out of Vermont, and it holds the en-
viable record of never having lost dollar by
a poor note. An institution Of this kind is,
of course, of great value and convenience to
Vermont and Vermonters. If an individual
or corporation has assets and needs cash they
can get it, and at low rate. The average
depositor wants his money where it is abso-
lutely safe and also where he can get ii on
call.
This Bank pays 4 per cent. COM
pounded semi-annually on deposits OF
$Ioo or more.

Century Club Course.

The Century Club has provided as a
course this year one of, If not the best
course that has ever been given nnder its
auspices. The course comprises two
lectures and two concerts. The first on
the list of attractions is the Common
wealth Ladies' Orchestra; the second,
DR.. Thomas E. Greene, with a most en-
tertaining lecture; third, the Whitney
Bros, furnishing as fine concert as is
often provided Middlebury audience;
and lastly, an evening spent with the
noted lecturer, DIR. w. V. Kelley. The
price for the whole course is low enough
for all to invest; and they are assured
of excellent returns on their investment,
Another thing that is worthy of consid-
Grafton is the fact that the proceeds of
the courses are always used in some very
commendable work; though this claim is
not made by the ladies comprising the
club. There is no doubt but that buyers
of course tickets will be grateful to the
club for being instrumental in securing
such high grade entertainment for such
a trifing amount. All seats are reserved
in the usual way.

Not a Public Utility.

An effort was made to have the
grange and agricultural interests of the
state recognized on the public utilities
commission recently appointed by Gov
ernor Hughes of New York, but it was
not successful. The reason is evident.
Agriculture does not need to be under
the supervision of commission in the
sense that the gas and electric compa-
MES and the railroad corporations do.
And this is compliment to agricul-
ture.

Fifth Avenue christm as.

New York's 400" go into the Christ mas festivities with much enthusiasm and good-sized purses The outlay is almost as large for procuring toys for the children as yachts and autos for the older folks, says the Delineator for December.
 Along Fifth avenue and all of the other gold-builded avenues of its kind Christmas comes in on full tide. It is a festival abundant beyond all belief. Little silk stockings that hang from mantels of marble and wonderful cary ing are filled to overfowing and splen- did Christmas trees bend beneath a bountiful load. And 1t Is because Santa Claus stays so long doing so much for those children that he no longer Is able to go around to all the rest.

Poetry Pays, After All.

From the Spokane Spokesman Review.
 After all, it pays to read poetry, per- haps not the Ella Wheeler Wilcox or even the George Sterling brand, but good, old-fashioned classical poetry. There may be lots of good people in the world today who have not read "A Wine of Wizardry," which Ambrose Bierce declares to be the best Ameri- can poem in years, just as there may be lots of good people outside the church, but the preponderance of evil dence Is with those who read and are to be found regularly in the pews

Being told it was 25 cents, he purchased the book and then disclosed four $20 bills in the book, which had been on the shelves for years and handled by scores of per sons.
 It is highly probable that before many weeks have passed the purchaser will admit the money was really the least valuable thing obtained from the book. Just think of an old-fash toned day out in the woods, with the autumn leaves falling thick and fast, "a jug of wine, a loaf of bread and Thou" and a ten-acre vacant tract in which to read aloud the hearts desire:

Useful Self-Sacrihce.

This long period of useful self-sac- rifce of the young physician Is not re- warded even in general way by pub lie or private munificence directed to the furtherance of medical educa ton. Gifts in the shape of money and en- dowment to medical schools in the city have not been at all commensurate with tn cir need, or on par with the donations lavished on other branches of education. All three of the older university medical sch ools in the city have been pressed for funds to carry on their work for several years, and this year the largest of the schools, the University and Bellevue Hospital Med ical College of New York University, which has an enrolment larger than that of the other two schools com bined, was compelled to turn away students because of lack of equipment to accommodate all properly. The re- gently announced gift of several mil lion dollars from John D. Rockefeller for an institute of medical research does not help to solve this problem, for, while 1t gives a great impetus to scientific study, it will not aid in the training of hysicians who must earn a living in practice.
 It Is largely as consequence or this lack of funds among the local medical schools of the city that they are turning out fewer physicians today than they did ten years ago. The rise of applied sciences, with their greater rewards, and the gradual length ening of the course at the medl- cal sch ools from two to four years may nave contributed to this falling off. But the principal reason why New York has not gained as center for medical education. is spite of the ia ct that it has the best natural Ia cilities for such training in the world, is ascribed to the inadequate support given to the great schools by the wealthy public. stss
