 Schopp has gone home to attend the bedside of very sick mother, and 1t is not expected that he will return to At lanta this season. It is not known why Smith wants to get rid of Castro. The shortstop has not been hitting any too well, and it Is expected that the move is made to make room for Clayton
 With Larsen going as well as he is Bir- mingham hardly needs another shortstop. If Schopp could report at once he might fill a gan.

THOSE EARNED"

Cincinnati, July 2S.-Chairman Herr sion today issued list of all major league players who have been sold to the minors under agreements submitted and approved by the commission. These agreements contain certain clauses re- garding the return of the player to the big league by purchase on August 20, 19OS
 The national commission has decided that where the major league club desires to recall any player it must notify the secretary of the commission as well as the minor league club with which the player is now playing on or before Au- gust 20 that it intends to exercise it's option. It must also send to the secre- tary of the commission check for the amount specified for each player, which will be forwarded by the secretary to the minor league club interested The failure to so notify the secretary of the national commission and the minor league club and to transmit the check will be taken for granted that the option is not to be exercised

1T SAVED MY LIFE-WRlTES
ECZEMA PATIENT.
Bed-Ridden Sufferer Completely
Cured by Use Of ID. ID. ID.
External Wash.

One of the most remarkable Eczema
cures recently credited to the we'll
known D. D. D. Prescription has just
been recorded in Chicago.
Mrs. E. Hegg, 1850 West Madison
street, under date of Dec. 9, 1907,
writes as follows:
81 suffered three years with Weep
ing Eczema. 1t started with a little
spot on my knees and spread fast over
my whole body. | spent hundreds of
dollars and went to every good doctor
heard of, but l kept getting worse.
Nothing would stop the awful itch and
burning.
Il had to stay in bed from the middle
OF May to the middle Of July. Then
tried d. D. D. Prescription. This is
the 9th of December and | am entire
~ Tree from the terrible disease. D.
D. D. saved my life.
When began this treatment, people
were afraid Of me I looked so terrible.
My husband was the only one who
would take care of me. D. D. D.
stopped the itch at once so l could
sleep, which l had not done before.
linen began to get better fast and now
my skin is clear and white, not a spot
anywhere.
Just few drops of D. D D. Pre-.
scrlptlon applied to the skin brings re

Fashion Notes.

Fashions are changing" says
Grace Margaret Gould, the fashion edi-
tor, in the April Woman's Home Com
panion. "The new idea emphasizes
the simple, classic forms of dress.
Paris is looking to ancient Greece for
her inspiration. Surely that is STEP
ping back a bit Nevertheless, the
new gowns are extremely artistic, even
though it will be hard to make them
appeal to the practical, economical
American woman. They are character
lied by grac eful, clinging lines, and
generally are one-piece models.
1.-The princess dress is a good illus
tration of the modified Greek effect.
1t is made Of one of the rough silks,
which are so fashionable this season,
and in shade which suggests bronze
as the coloring. The gown would also
look we'll developed in olive silk wolfe.
In making the costume, the short
wasted bodice is mounted on fitted
guimpe, which may be of filet net or
all-over lace, dyed to match the color of
the fabric. The bodice is made with
two plaits on the shoulders, back and
front, and it is cut round at the neck
and has large armhole, though not in
the extreme japanese effect. Round
ed revers, which extend over the
guimpe, give a touch Of novelty.
They may be in the same shade as
the gown or tint lighter.
The graceful Empire skirt is gored
and extends above the waistline,
where it is also mounted on the:guimpe.
The skirt is attached to the lower edge
of the bodice. Where the joining oc-
c"rs band Of the material is applied,
band may be used ui u The e skirt has
demi-train and at the back falls in a
triple box plat.
"a gown of this sort made of soft
black satin would be extremely beauti.
full using cream net for the guimpe anc
darning it all in dull art shades Of silk
floss"

pay their just proportion. AS the law
is to-day a man owns small farm
which is visible property and on which
he must pay his full share of taxes.
On the other hand man may be pos
sessed of million dollars in stocks and
bonds and all he has to do is to refuse
to make an inventory, in which case
the listers may find what they can and
double his list, which may not amount
to hundredth part of what he is ac-
tually worth. l am aware that. this is
very hard matter to regulate but we
should certainly make an honest effort
to do away with any such state Of
affairs and | have great hopes that
when the report of the commission is
received some remedy will be offered
which will appear to be feasible. l
and is placed before the legislature no
| hasty action will be taken as has been
| done sometimes in the past.
l believe that the resources of our
state are very great not only in our
quarries and mines but in our undevel-
oped water powers and our beautiful
scenery and that it would be for the
best interests of our state to have the
board of agriculture or some other
equally suitable agent take all posssi-
BILE means to advertise our resources
| o+% to Il
where with view of bringing them
to Vermont either as visitors or perma-
nent residents.
1t is true that our state expenses
have been increasing very rapidly anc
that during the last session of the legis
lature more money was appropriated
than during previous sessions but was
partly owing to the fact that our state
institutions had not been kept in suita
BILE condition and it was necessary tt
make many needed changes. In m,
Judgment appropriations should not b,
as large during the coming session Al
they were during the past one and
|. should certainly strive to see that n
, money was expended that was not alb
! solutely needed. We must be economi
, cal in our expenditures and I shout
: certainly strive to that end.
4 There are other matters whic
t might be taken up and which are O
e great importance but I do not care
: make this statement longer than it a
h ready is. l can simply assure the cit
: zens of Vermont that it they shout

PROUTY GIVES OUT PLATFORM.

Lieut.. Gov. Geo. H. Prouty issued
Tuesday the following statement in re-
gard to his position on various matters
of public interest:
AS candidate for the Office of gov
ernor of Vermont, let me say first, it
has always seemed to me that candi-
date for that high office should be
very careful not to arrogate to himself
the right to dictate the party policy.
l do not at this, or any other time,
wish to place myself in any such posi-
ton, | believe that the duty of formu-
lating such policies rests with the re-
publican convention called for that
purpose as we'll as to nominate those
to whom shall be intrusted che carry
ing out of such policies as may be
decided on by the representatives of
the people. While, therefore, l would
not attempt to outline the platform to
be adopted l do feel that it is proper
that 1 should state my position regard
ing matters of vital interest to the
public.
The republican party has been work
ing the past two years along lines
similar to those followed in a larger
way by the Roosevelt administration
in national affairs, has instituted
measures to protect the rights of the
people against encroaching corporate
interests, has passed laws preventing
discrimination in railroad rates, has
commenced the work of abolishing
grade crossings and has given the rail-
road commission real powers so that
it's orders must be obeyed, has passed
laws opening the books of corporations
to inspection Of the courts, and insti-
tuted other measures to guard the
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1908-03-30

ton of justice should be made as SIM
pie and inexpensive as possible and
while all necessary safeguards should
be retained, cases should not be dis
missed because of mere technicalities.
| believe too much time is wasted
every session of the legislature in con-
sidering loosely drawn and needless
bills. | believe it should be the en-
deavor of all those connected with that
body to prevent such waste of time.
Some improvement was made during the
last sessions but it was not sufficient
to remedy the evil. 1t should be our
constant endeavor to perfect such rules
as will do away with this difficulty and
result in the shortening of the sessions
of the legislature which are having a
tendency to become longer each year.
| am fully aware of the inequalities
of taxation existing in Vermont at the
present time and this is one of the
upon by the coming legislature. l be-
lieve that the proper course was taken
lring the last session in providing for
commission to thoroughly investigate
conditions and to make such a
report as they thought best after duly
considering all matters brought to their
attention. That commission is made
up of men of such great ability and
sound judgment that have no doubt
they will make such recommendations
as will appeal to the good judgment Of
the coming legislature and that such
laws will be passed as will more nearly
e1ualize the burdens Of taxation than
at the present time.
Personally | feel that the greatest
difficulty with our system of taxation is
no1-taxation, that is those people who
have large amounts Of property fail to
