BLUE SUNDAY NO. 2.
It's Drouth Was Broken by the Estab-
lishment Of a Refreshment Resort.

Brattleboro's second Blue Sunday wa:
| like unto the first in SO far as the loca
drug stores and ice.cream emporiums
were concerned There was nothing do
ing in the refreshment line at any oil
them. Thanks to the resourcefulness OF
Charles Cakes, however residents OF this
town with desires for soda, ice-cream or
cigars were able to crafty them by taking
stroll across the bridge to the island.
In the rear of the building formerly oc-
cupied by the Cheshire Express company,
on land owned by the Connecticut River
Power company, Mr.. Cakes erected tent
where harmless refreshments were dis
pensed in large quantities during the day.
Mr.. Cakes disposed of II gallons of ice
cream, six cases of soft drinks and four
boxes of cigars, and his customers included
not only residents of Brattleboro but auto
mobile tourists and others from out Of
town.
Mr.. Cakes will continue his Sunday
business day after tomorrow although
not ON land owned by the power company.
The agents of this corporation are not
willing that land controlled by them shall
be used for purposes in any way antago-
nistic to the laws of Vermont, and Mr..
Cakes was notified to this effect Monday.
He expects, however, to complete arrange.
ments with +. G. Gale for the use Of land
just in front of the Cheshire Express
company building, and if this arrange
ment cannot be made he will build a float
in the Connecticut river and conduct his
refreshment business on the water.
A minister who preached in Brattle-
boro Sunday went into a drug store at
the close Of the church service and an
nounced that he was thirsty and wanted
something to drink "You will have to
see the state attorney" said the pro
prietor and the minister, thinking that
the proprietor was perpetrating joke
relative to intoxicating liquor, replied:
well, then, / suppose l shall have to
take up with an orange phosphate"
Still the druggist insisted that he was
unable to supply the desired article, and
then he explained why his soda foun
tain was closed. "Well," said the minis
ter, 81 freely admit that | am surprised.

less and refreshing drink on hot Sun
day." The druggist suggested to the min.
ister that the existing conditions would
make good subject for him to talk about
in the pulpit, and the clergyman replied
as he left the store: Il will do it; l will
10 it."

Fertilizers for Summer and Fall Top Dress.
Ing and SeedIng-DoWn.

Up-to-date farmers are agreed that in
many cases better results are obtained on
meadows from fertilizers which are ap
piled in the summer or early fall. This
is true both as to topdressing and seed
ing-down.
We wish to call the attention of the
farmers of Vermont to the fact that we
can furnish formulas for mixing fertilizers
especially adapted to. top,dressing and
seeding-down grass land. These formulas
have not only been appro7 red by the Yer
mont Experiment Station, but have been
used with excellent results by great
many farmers in Vermont and have
proved thoroughly reliable. We can also
furnish the materials for mixing fertilizers
in accordance with these formulas. We
should be pleased to send the formulas to-
gether with full directions for mixing, cost
of materials, ETC., to any one who will
write us. mentioning this paper. Address
