VERMONT CIDER DRINKERS

The Boston Herald lays the Sutton
murder and subsequent suicide Of the
murderer to hard cider, saying that aof
all the hard drinks cider appears to be
frauglit with the most peril, chiefly fol
che reason that the drinking Of It il
reckoned a legitimate indulgence IN ru-
rad communities from which rum and
whiskey are bafished as tho only real
viper" Theoretically, there may b.
some basis for the contemporary solu-
tior Of the Sutton murder, view DIS Tho
country sections are viewed by the aver
age metropolitan newspaper. Hard cid
er is Thankfully supposed to be the chief
drink of the country, by necessity, Il
not BY choice; and vermonters are often
times painted az great consumers Of tht
fruit of the apple But actually, hard
cider is no more frequently used as a
beverage than whiskey in the country
districts of the state, tradition to the
corkrary, notwithstanding. One picture
may be no better than the other, bin
if the country sections are TO be painted
at all, they may as wen be painted ae-
carafeIy.

A writer in the HaIxiwick Gazette re-
Gently made good point in the com
pafison of Nermont's and Massachusetts
outputs of granite in the following:
From 1902 TO 1905 vermont's granite
output for monumental purposes has in
creased 81 per cent, while Massachu-
sets, its closest competitor, shows only
25 per cent. increase. When it is re-
nemBered that the Vermont granite in
dTlstry is still in its infancy, The citizens
Of the Green Mountain state have every
reason to feel proud Of this gigantic
growth. It ~ also well to remember III
considering these figures that the Yer.
mont output is considerably under rated
along the lines of monumental work. al
the report in question gives the finished
value Of the monumental work produced
in 1906 in Vermont as only s45l ,222
