The young people will hold box
social at the hall on Friday evening
of this week A good time and much
fun is anticipated. as a pleasing pro-
gram has been arranged for amuse-
ment.
Mrs. Grundy' is busy with the re-
port that Dorset is not only to have
new church but that new chapel
is to be erected by private parties
The desirability has long been felt
here of building a hall similar to the
Ben Venue library in Bennington but
many difficulties always delayed the
scheme. In agricultural districts OF
this kind ii would seem a privilege
to have chapel or reading room pro-
yided where amusement could be
found or instruction and mental inn
provement provided for the working
people.
Poultry is claiming considerable at
tention at this season, and many in
cubators will soon be at work. n. Z.
Gilbert. the most enthusiastic dealer
in this section, will soon set at least
5000 eggs and is to erect new poul-
try house 1870 feet long in connection
with his already large plant. We
wonder at the small quantity of gum
ca fowls kept by farmers. The gum
cas- are of great value as scare-hawks
and can be given freedom, as they
do not scratch like other fowls and
therefore do not injure gardens but
on the contrary pick up many insects
that damage plants.

Granite Trade Satisfied.

The esteemed and benevolent Free
Press, ever on the alert for noble
and altruistic explanation of the pub
lie acts of Congressman Foster, re
Gently published the following para
graph:
According to advices from Washing
ton Congressman Currier of New
Hampshire is more disturbed over the
fact that Congressman Foster of Yer
mont dug out of the measure an item
cutting the rate on rough granite from
l. to cents, and it is very likely that
the granite quarried in Vermont, New
Hampshire and Maine will be heard
from before the new tariff measure is
disposed of.
This creates a very pleasant and
hearty picture of Messrs Foster and
Currier, their broadclothed breasts
bursting with a generous haste, car
aering across the capitol to Mr..
Payne's Office, with the tails of their
Prince Alberts swapping like snake
whips as they turn the corners.
Meanwhile the granite trade in Barre
and vicinity, at least is not wearing
out any typewriter ribbons or burning
out any transmitters, the Barre Times
says:
So far as the granite of this immed-
late part of Vermont is concerned,
the Times is not aware that it is
greatly concerned over the proposed
reduction of the duty on rough stock
from II to cents per foot. The re-
publican presidential campaign last
fall was conducted on a platform
which promised reduction of the
tariff downward and President Taft
more than once made il clear that If
elected he should call an extra ses-
sion of Congress for this purpose.
This he has done and in the proposed
tariff bill, along with other proposed
reductions. is a cut of so per cent
in the tariff on rough granite If the
Times understands the local senti-
ment Alright, our quarrymen are ready
to accept this if they are to receive
The benefit of substantial reductions

The fact that there is a general hes
itation in business now because of ex-
pected changes in the tariff, affects
the granite industry, as well as other
lines of manufacturing at the present
time, and the earlier the tariff law
is enacted, just so much earlier will
the bushes revival begin.
The Barre example is particularly
significant, as the cost of producing
granite monument is almost all in.

Nature Study.

Nature study is teaching the youth
to see and to know the thing nearest
to hand, to the end that his life may
be fuller and richer, writes Prof L. H..
Bailey of Cornell university Nature
study is not to be taught for the pur
pese of making the youth specialist
OF a scientist. Now and then a pupil
will desire to pursue a science for the
sake of the science, and he should be
encouraged. But every pupil may
be taught to be interested in plants
and birds aud insects and running
brooks, and thereby his life will be
the stronger. The crop of scientists
will take care of itself

MODEL OR D. A. R
FOUNTAIN SHOWN
BY dorado TAFT

A model OF the ID. A. r. Memorial
Fountain for Paducah is among Lo-
RADIO Taft's exhibits at the Midwinter
Art Exhibition in Chicago. Mr.. Taft
has six pieces, among them a colossal
figure OF George Washington for the
University of the state of Washing
ton, at Seattle, but the Paducah foun-
tain has had more compliments than
all the others from Mr.. Taft's brother
artists and architects. The figure on
the Indian is very striking. full of
dignity. poise and power; and the
fountain will be something of which
Paducah can be justly proud.
DR.. Della Caldwell, who is chair
man of the d. A. r. fountain COM
mittee. has received a letter from
Mr.. Taft in regard to the fountain.
He wrote from Greenville, S. c.,
where he had been lecturing. and
said he would go on Thursday to the
quarry In Georgia. whore the base
OF the fountain is being carved. He
thought II would require more than
a month for the carving of the figure,
which is being done at Mr.. Taft's
studio in Chicago.
The ID. A. r. chapter hopes TO have
the fountain dedicated the nrst OF
May and Will invite Mr.. Taft TO DO
present for the ceremony.
