The house in town, for summer, may
be made to look cool and attractive by
removing the oriental and heavy dark col

substituting rag rugs and those especially
designed for country homes. 1t makes a
pleasant change for spring and again IN
the fall when the winter furnishings are
resumed.

DOCTORING TREES.

Tree doctoring is a subject to which hortl-
cultural societies as well as individuals
are giving considerable attention, with the
result that many beautiful trees sup
nosedlv about to die have been saved to
serve as landmarks for years to come. Inc
treatment which these trees receive Is
comparatively simple. The decayed heart
wood is carefully removed and the open
ing filled with concrete, care being taken
to fill lust inside the bark so that 1t may
grow over the edge and make the cavity
alright. The heart of a tree may be en-
tirely gone yet if the cambium layer or
inner bark, is unframed the treatment Will
he successful In such cases the concrete
filling serves the double purpose OF keep
ing out the air and moisture and OF
STRENGTHENING the tree Trees of all sizes
and in all stages of decay have been doc
tored in this manner and their lives pre-
served. Only recently the Liberty tree on
the campus of St. Johns college at An
napolis, Nd, the largest tree in the coun-
try with the exception OF the California
redwoods, was subjected to a course OF
treatment that cost $3.50. Many loads
of decayed wood were taken from its trunk
and it was necessary to make concrete
filling extending from four feet under
ground many feet up the inside. Other
famous trees including some of those on
the Washington estate at Mt. Vernon have
responded to similar treatment. Consld-
ering the centuries it takes for elms and
oaks to reach their majestic proportions
it is certainly folly to think of cutting
them down when little wise and mex
pensive treatment will save them for cen
turtles more Brattleboro's wealth of shade
trees constitutes heritage too valuable
to let deteriorate for lack of proper care.
The town has tree warden whom it could
well employ in making an inspection of
these trees and treating such of those as

every time there is murder or an
attempted murder in Vermont, particularly
when the criminal is a woman, the St.
Adams Messenger sarcastically asks its
capital punishment friends to show where
the example of hanging has ever restrained
other neonle from killing. Nobody knows
how many people NAV have been pre-
vented vent from committing murder by the
shadow of the gallows. Those to whom
the examnle of capital punishment may
have acted as a restraining influence do
not get in to the newspapers as do those
who are not restrained" -Brattlebo Re-

The Bennington Banner wonders wheth'
err listers who in their capacity as citizens
and business men are, practically sure that
a man has more taxable property than he
has put into his inventory are in duty
hound to call that man before them and
ask him to account for his other holdings
There can be but one answer to this ques-
t;nn. The state doesn't recognize dual per.
sonalities. Reformer.
IF this view of the ethics of listing should
prevail we fear it would be hard to get
competent men to fill the Office of lister.
When citizens known by everybody in
town to have incomes of from $4,000 to
$50, 900 year put into their inventory, only
their real estate and, perhaps, few thou
sand dollars worth of other property, it
takes a good deal of nerve on the part OF
a lister to get after those gentlemen with
a sharp stick and to double their lists if
they fail to make satisfactory statements;
The present listing laws invite perjury, and
concealment and the listers get it in whole
sale quantities.

A despatch from Littleton, N. H., tells Of
a project for the construction of three huge
dams on the Connecticut river between
Waterford VT, and Dalton and Monroe
N. H.. Involving the investment of be-
tween S5,OO0,OOO and 100000 and fur
nishing more than 5000 horse power. The
despatch further says that the proposed
project will compare favorably with the
great power plant now in process OF de
velopment at Brattleboro. How favorable
this comparison is from an industrial and
financial point of view is extremely doubt
full. The big dam below Brattleboro will
generate four times as much power as Is
claimed for the project in the north coun
try although the cost of the latter is es
timated at more than twice as much. Still
we hope our friends on the upper Connectl
cut will be able to bring about the devel

Commissioners Report.

We are publishing this week
the Commissioners Annual Report.
The Report was compiled by
County Auditor j. L. Martin, and
is neatly typewriter document.
This is the seventh Commission
er's Report that Auditor Martin has
gotten out, and it was among the
first, if not the first in any county
ready for the printer for publica-
tion this year. The present Audi
tor has never failed to have the re-
port completed on time, and when
We consider that it requires the
compilation of some two or three
thousand vouchers as approved by
the Commissioners for a whole
year, and classification of each
of them under it's proper head,
the task of getting out such re-
port is no small one, and taken in
account with the other onerous
duties of the Auditors Office, is
an accomplishment worthy of
menticn. Promptness has been
the key to the successful admin.
stration of Auditor Martin.
