asked 5000 for next year and 5000
for the year after, and in return for this
support, the fair commission would give
the state a deed without any strings
attached TO il for the property, valued
at $4,000. He said that he was modest
when he said that II was the best fair
in the state and had the best cattle
exhibit this year ever displayed in New
England. They wanted to make il a
great agricultural fair. He spoke Of the
efforts Of Maxwell Eyarts TO keep the
fair going and referred the members TO
his statement that II the state would
come up with the appropriation he did
not expect to come again asking for aid,
because he believed IL was only a matter
Of little time now when IL would be
self supporting.
A large number spoke and they all
represented counties that had fairs which
they believed 70 be the best, but they
supported the measure just the same
There was Mr.. Fish Of Yrgennes, who
pointed with pride to the Addison county
fair which had the best trotting ever
held in the state, along with a lot Of
other fine things that surpassed; Mr.
Goodrich of Royalton. Mr.. Loeklin OF
Richford, who swore by the Franklin
county fair. Mr.. Williams of Newport.
afr. Martin Of Plainfeld favored the bin
and Mr.. Boyce OF Waterbury Mr.. Bar
Der OF Brattleboro opposed the bill. be-
cause be believed ii the state were 70

The shouting was all over in a minute
and Mfr. Barber when he saw how things
were going said that he would withdraw
his demand for the yeas and nays. The
bill then passed by an overwhelming
vote.

The weekly newspapers are coming to
hand with their support of Governor
Prouty in HIS position regarding the pub
lie utilities bill Among them is noted
the Barton Monitor, which says the fol-
lowing, "The inference that Governor
Prouty personally, knowingly and wit
tingly lowered himself to support any
measure or means to private gain at pub
lie expense and sacrifice win meet with
cool reception. Gov. Prouty is too bright
man, if nothing more, to allow it.

THE NATIONAL BONFIRE.

Again Ii the greater destructibility d
American buildings over those in Europe
demonstrated by the comparative fire
losses Tn the United States last yeal
the total loss from fire was 1915, 100000
which is a sum seven times the entire fire
loss of the whole Of Europe. It is easy
to point out the reason for the lesser
loss in Europe: not because Of superior
tire fighting abilities on the part of the
Europeans. but because of the nature Of
the constructing material in the building
There wooden building il the excep-
ton; here it is the rule. In that state
ment you find the cause for the tremen-
dously greater destruction in the United
States, The humblest cottage in Europe
Is Of some material that is not intIam-
mable, while the great structures are in
variably Of stone. Consequently the pos.
sibiity for conaagration is reduced to
minimum, as fire does not readily com
municate TO walls OF brick or stone. On
the contrary, in the United States the
humblest cottage is Of wood, because
vAood happens to be the cheapest CON
strueting material Moreover, great
proportion of them are said to be con-
strueted in faulty manner. Leastwise,
three fourths Of the losses last year were
due to improper manner OF building So
we see that we have not only to cope
with an inaammable material, but with
artificial tre.traps as well. The time is
very fer distance when ston@or cement
shall have superseded wood as building
material; SO that We may reckon on that
handicap to less fire losses for great
while to come But we can demand safer
methods of building construction, and
that is the gradual trend Of the day.
Ordinances Of cities, charters Of villages
and FIRE districts are calling for less finn
~ buildings and they are getting them
The education Of the people in this re-
speet is necessarily slow, but Il is being
acquired. nevertheless. Meanwhile the
ire losses in the United States may be
expected to continue very much larger
than those Of Europe.

Although founded primarily as an aid
to agricultural pursuits, the Vermont
state grange, we think, might give a
few lessons in finance, inasmuch as the
treasury Of the organization contains up
wards Of six thousand good dollars, and
there's not an outstanding bill against
the organization. There are indications
of capable, honest management, as was
to be expected from the class OF people
which the grange claims as members.

practical place for you to trade?
BECAUSE we consider your
satisfaction before we look for

WHY is this the safest place
for you TO buy?
BECAUSE we have no last

goods are new each season and
the quality and the price we

CARLETON TO PLAY ST. LOUIS U.

The Carleton football team will
leave Friday for Cape Girardeau
where they play the Normal Schoo
at that city. Carleton should win
easily, and II they do, will cinch the
championship OF Southern Missouri.
On Thursday, Nov. 10Th, Carleton
will play st. Louis University at
Pennington. st. Louis has one of
the best teams In the West, having
defeated, in the past two years,
teams like Nebraska, Kansas, Ark
ansas, Iowa, ETC., and while they
will probably defeat Carleton, the
boys here are confident they will
hold them to a low score. Coach
Brannon Is working the men regu.
larly and hopes to make good
showing. We understand that sew.
eral Of the business men have taken
the matter up, and an effort will be
made to get the stores and business
houses to close for the game.
Special cars will be run from Flat

DR.. j. w. Turley died at the State
Hospital No. Infirmary last Satur-
day, November 7th, aged 42 years.
For some time DR.. Turley had been
in declining health, which effected
his mind in II measure, and about
two months ago he was sent to the

ably known throughout the county,
especially in the mining districts,
where he practiced his profession
for many years, more recently at
Desloge. He was a brother of
former County Collector Ed Turley,

ONE TREE NETS WOMAN sl1o

Birdsbara, Pa, Nov. 9.-One OF
the largest walnut trees In Berks
County was sold recently by Miss
Rebecca Radenoch, owned by the
Radenoch homestead at Jefferson,
this conuty, about two miles from
Krick's mill. The tree has long
been known as monarch of the
forest. 1t stood in n grove near the
public road. In diameter the tree
measured nearly five feet near the
bottom and three feet in diameter
fifty feet from the ground. without a
single limb for that distance.
The price paid was $llO and the
purchaser was Abraham Eby, OF
Bird-in-Hand, Lancaster County,
who will ship the log to Germany,
where 1t will be cut up and used in
veneerIng furniture. Near this tree
stood another of the same species,
but trifie smaller. The first limb.
however, grew from the trunk of
thls tree AZ distance of twenty-five
feet from the ground.
Miss Radenoch sold n large num-
Der OF walnut trees and the grove
contains many more. A grove con-
tanning all trees OF this character
would be worth fortune, since wal
nut wood Is becoming exceedingly
scarce and big prices are being paid
for the right kind OF trees
