ard ugliness were held to be virtuous.
The city man was proud to find him
self as far as possible removed from
nature and country.
We woke up To the folly OF this
when our cities grew too large for
men TO get out of them in a few leis-
ure hours.
Then came the demand for parks.
followed in turn by demand for
boulevards.
Tree-planted residence streets be-
gan 10 be fashionable.
And now trees near a house are an
asset 10 the landlord. drawing tenants
and even raising rents.
Instead OF cutting down trees. the
wise builder is at pains to save as
many as possible.
Where the damage was done long
ago, the communities themselves are
lending a hand for It's updoing. Wash

Trees have an educational influence

Trees encourage outdoor life.
Trees purify the air.
Trees cool the air In summer and
radiate warmth in winter.
Trees improve climate and con-
serve soil and moisture.
Trees furnish resting places and
shelter for birds.
Trees increase the value OF real

Trees protect the pavement from

Trees counteract adverse conditions

competition than now exists in the

who experience a feeling of personal
outrage when the Confederate raider,
most execrated and despised in Yer
mont war time, is invited to a func-
ton of patriotism in a Vermont city.
At the same time let us be careful
that we do not undertake to perpetu-
ate the war feeling in our hearts that
we do not needlessly reopen the near
ly healed wounds that kept the North
and South apart for nearly half a cen
fury.
There is a spirit of forgive and for
get" in the land today. There is
feeling that not only the descendants
of the gray-clad confederates but such
of the rebel soldiers as now remain
alive, are as loyal in their hearts, as
devoted to the flag, as ready to rally
to the defense of the Union today as
we are. There is no longer a North
and South, but one great, unconquer-
able nation, in which we all have
part.
Possibly there may be a question of
taste involved in bringing to the
scene of his guerilla exploits the lead
er of the st. Adams raid, but we have
faith to hope and believe that ii will
mean "a fresh bond between the blue
and the gray, a long step toward the
national ideal when every man born
north of Mexico and south of the 49th
parallel can strike hands together and
meet as brothers under a common
flag.
The war is over and the war was
right; now comes our duty in making
its results final and patriotic. Let as
begin forgiving, even though we may
not forget.-Rutland Herald.

LAWYERS ARRESTED
Two Prominent Attorneys Engaged
in Swindling Operations

Boston, May 6.-Two prominent To-
cal lawyers, Charles Hall Adams and
William w. Risk, the former a con-
sui for three countries and Massachu-
sets Commissioner for all the states
in the Union, pleaded not guilty to-
day to indictments charging them
with conspiring to obtain $4,000 of
unclaimed deposits from the Suffolk
Savings bank.
The two lawyers have been acting
as public administrators and as spec
ial administrators for persons living
out of the state. The indictments
charge them with conspiring in the
substitution of mythical heirs to the
estate of Ellis Gray in order to OBJ
tain the money from the savings bank.
Gray died in 1888 and in 1902 the Suf-
folk bank published a list of eight
depositors heirs of the Gray estate.
The depositors and the amounts
which they inherited were; Robert
and Nathan Hyde, 1866; Thomas
Jackson, $2259; James Avery $22O6;
Samuel Sandbank $1263; J. Collins Jr
1928; Freeman Cross, 1854; and Jon.
athan Davis, 1921. 1t is also charg-
ed in the indictment that a deposit
standing in the name of Thomas Pink
and amounting to s1O26, was also
claimed by Adams and Risk.

Spirit of "Forslve and Forget"

Al want to thank you for your fine
editorial in last Friday mornings
Herald, in defense of the actions of
our governor, and other officials, in
their invitation to Bennett H. Young
to be the guest of St Adams at the
coming celebration.
1T appeals to me as a fine demon
stration Of brotherly love, willing
ness to forgive, and is in direct har-
mony with the masters command,
Love thy neighbor as myself and
It is command that cannot be ignor-
ed If we wish this world to be made
better"
The above was received from sub
scriber of the Herald in Rutland and
so exactly touches the spirit that this
paper would exalt in connection with
national affiliations that it is publish
ed herewith.
The younger generation of Vernon
tiers and Americans may well give
careful heed to the sentiment express
ed therein. With the memories and
antagonisms of war days, we have no
quarrel whatever. Those were stir
ring and striving times. The fratric-
idal strife between the North and
South was national calamity and
we of the North have right to in
sist, quietly, that the South was ever
lastingly wrong. The great conflict
was necessary, as settling for all time
the solidarity of handful of loose
ly associated states.
These United States, in their pres
ent indivisible supremacy, might have
been impossible without submitting
to the adjudication of arms the ques-
tons that then disturbed the Union
today, let us never forget that we
are one people, one blood, and one
great nation.
1t Is natural that some bitterness of
a great strife should remain in the
hearts of those who suffered the hor-
rors of rebel prisons, who gave up
their youth and manhood to the cause
of the Union, who guarded their
homes from the threatened nightly ter
rors of the raider, the ravisher and
the guerilla, who followed their
friends and brethren to a CORY rest on
Southern battleflelds. 1t was a very
real thing to them, and the outrages
and excuses of war time are not to
be brushed aside in an offhand or
careless fashion And so we find no
fault whatever with the old soldiers

Owners of gardens and people with
farms, in many parts of Vermont and
other sections of northern New Eng
land, where the soil is stiff clay or
hard clay loan often refrain from
trying to raise muskmelons, or try
once and fail and then give 1t up as
bad job. though muskmelons are one
of the finest and most easily raised
OF garden products if the proper
method is pursued. The way to do 1t
is to plant the seed in mixture OF
coal ashes and well rotted stable
in the garden or field and make the
hills at least six feet apart. For
each hill dig a hole the size of a half
bushel measure level with the top OF
the ground. Put into each hole
peck of black well rotted manure and
a peck of sifted coal ashes. Work
them thoroughly together and at the
top add little sand il available or
mere trine of the natural garden soil,
but not over a quart or so to hill.
The pulverizing process should
raise the mixture in the hill an inch
or two above the surrounding level
and If the ground Is rather damp
raise three or four inches by adding
more coal ashes. Plant the seeds a
half inch deep and use plenty of
seeds, but often the plants get out
their fourth leaves and the danger
from bugs is over pull out all but
three or four plants in a hill. This
is essential. If you don't reduce the
number of plants to three or four
you won't get any melons The kind
to plant is either the Emerald Gem"
or the Melted Gem" The seed cat
alogues are full of varities, but these
two are the best and the safest in
this northern climate. Both are good
troopers and fine melons. The EN-
erald Gem" is rather the better of the
two, but it is well enough to plant
some of each as the Melted Gem" is
little earlier. The planting should
be between the Goth of May and June
list. Nothing is gained by planting
earlier as melons started in a cold
wet spell never do well. These di-
rections are only useful on cold, stiff
soils. On light, warm, sandy loans
