PRESERVE CHARM OF VOICE
Proper Care of Organ Which Nature
Has Bestowed Is Essential
Duty Of All.

A sweet voice is a powerful femin
Inc charm. One also admires fine
masculine voices which are sonorous
and full
We should. therefore, be careful of
this organ which nature has bestowed
upon us, and improve 1t If possible.
Coarse, shrill and harsh voices may be
softened by care and study. A woman
with peacock voice can never charm.
Speak in a low voice, but distinctly.
Loud speaking denotes ill-breeding,
and sometimes shows a domineering
spirit. Many people drown the voices
of others in a discussion that they
may themselves attract the more at
tention. To keep the voice at proper
tone, never call from one end of the
room to another, nor from upstairs
down, nor at any distance where II
becomes necessary for one to shout
with all his might, as this coarsens
and roughens the voice and in time
ruins 1t.
There are persons who, when
oPOhNh w. pay nv dNtChaiOhf CitANi
from abstraction or from Indifference,
to anything which may proceed from
others. The person who speaks is
then obliged to raise the voice and re.
peat, and thus the habit of speaking
loudly is frequently formed.
These things occur in families
where but little politeness is observed
between those who owe one another as
much consideration as is due to out
siders.
One should never cry out under the
influence of anger, Indignation or pain.
These cries forever destroy the har
mony of the vocal chords Children
should be prevented from screaming
when at play.

lndinnant at Loss of Beard.

Samuel Stiegler, barber in that sec
ton of Brooklyn known as East New
York, appeared in court the other day
to explain why he cut of Morris
Kreutzer's 40-year growth of whis-
kers without orders. Kreutzer
climbed in the barber chair after in
structing the barber to trim his beard
and dozed into gentle slumber.
When he awoke he screamed with
rage and modification when he saw
that he was clean shaven. AS he Is
Sc years old and his beard was the
pride of his life and part of his re-
ligion. he had the barber arrested.
Stiegler declared he understood Kreutz-
err to say he wanted shave and as
the customer slept soundly during the
operation he did not learn of his error
until the work was done.

The basis upon which Secretary Bal
ley has reckoned horse power for pur-
poses of registration and incidental
by the Associated License Automobile
Manufacturers of America, these Ia
bles being practically the same as
those used by a like association in
Great Britain and such insurance com
panies as accept automobile liability.
The general satisfaction of this rating
is evidenced by the fact that out of
all registrations thus far made any
complaint from owners indicating the
contrary has been confined to frac-
ton of one per cent
AS the registration this year has
been after new plan, new system
of record has had to be inaugurated
SO thorough and complete is the sys-
TEN THAT Secretary Bailey is using.
that the owner, the chauffeur and a
complete description of the car can be
had at moments notice concerning
any car that has been registered. For
instance, If on account of reckless
driving or any other violation of law
by an automobile driver, information
concerning any particular car is de-
sired. II may be had from the secre-
tary of States Office in no more time
than is necessary to call that offiSe by
telephone and receive an answer
Further than this, the system used in
recording receipts for license fees in
connection with automobile registra-
ton is such that constant check
upon items is almost automatic
The number of dealers licenses is
sued to date is SO. The number of
motor cycle licenses is 80. The num-
Der of chauffeur's licensed is 1884.

The Montpelier Savings Bank and
Trust company is the first banking in
stitution in the state to reduce its in
terest rate to depositors from -four
per cent to three and one-half per
cent, to take effect after July /. The
banks i'm Vermont have been at odds
among themselves over this matter
Some of them are able to pay -four
per cent; others are not fairly able
to do so, but are compelled to by
their stronger probably
at some risk to the integrity of the
former institutions. At the last leg
islative session q movement gained
Roadway to limit the dividend rate to
three and one half per cent, but after
a powwow of bank magnates it was
announced that they had agreed e.
voluntarily come down to that level
and compulsion was not applied.
Since then. until now, nothing has
been heard of the matter The strong
banks are still pying four per cent
and the others straining to keep up.
The Montpelier bank, it appears, has
broken the ice and others may follow
its example.-Randolph Herald and
News.
Vermont laws favor the banks in
every particular at the expense OF
the borrower and as long as they col
lect six per cent interest on loans, it
is proper that they should pay tneir
depositors four per cent.

s1s.oOo FROM AUTOMOBILES
Registration Fees During the Past
Three Months.

Montpelier. June Secretary OF
State Guy w. Bailey by sending to
State Treasurer +. Ii. Deavitt, a check
for $15,72S.1S has made the beginning
of fund new in state finances. This
check represented the amount of mon
ey collected by. Secretary Bailey for
automobile registrations during the
three months ending with May 81.
IL will be remembered that the law
of 1908 regarding the registration of
automobiles and the licensing of chauf-
feurs embodied the collection of auto
mobile taxes through the process of
registration. This law authorizes the
collection on machines that are regis
tered for the first time, one dollar per
horse power; on machines registered
for the second time. seventy-five cents
per horse power, and on machines reg
istered for the tnird time, fifty cents
per horse power. Further, under the
present law. dealers pay a license fee
of twenty-five dollars and chauffeurs
a liz ense fee of two dollars. From
these sources have come the amount
of money above given.
The new Law also provides that all
money thus collected shall be used in
the respective counties of the state
from which 1t mas come, in highway
improvements. The various sums to
which the different counties are en-
titled as their share in the amount
Tins far collected are as follows.

Necessity, Not Choice.

A young man engaged board in a
private family who were extremely
devout. Before each meal grace was
said. To their dismay the new board
er sat bolt upright while the others
reverently bowed their heads. When
the second day passed, and the young
man eyinced no disposition to unbend

dure the situation no longer.

PLANT MORE CORN

Raise more corn and buy less west
ern meal ought to be the watchword
of the Grange and every farmers or
ganzation.
More than a quarter million dollars
has been sent west by Vermont farm
ers during the past six months.
II is making Vermont poor and the
west rich
Corn is easily grown. 1t is as sure
a crop as the farmers can raise.
Then plant more corn.
Patten, the great wheat king, says
botn wheat and corn will sell high
next year.
Then raise your own corn.
Maine sets an example for Yer
mont. Maine expects TO raise a lot of
corn this year Some time ago the
College of Agriculture at Orono or
ganized corn growing contest and
offered prizes, and now the Dairy
mems association is planning to hold
a corn show in connection with it's
meeting i'm December. Formerly
Maine was an important corn produc
ing State. but for several years little
attention has been given to the crop
Huntington Clipper
The foregoing contains a lot of
horse sense boiled down. The average
Vermont farm will easily produce
from 100 to 140 bushels of corn on
the ear, or from so to 20 bushels OF
shelled corn and we have known of
Vermont farmers raising over 100
bushels of shelled corn to the acre.
The cost of raising corn in this state
runs from $40 to $25 per acre. With
the prices of feed where they have
been the past few years wnat crop
can farmer raise that is more profit
able?.

WILL REBUILD IN BETHEL
The e. c. Fisher Co. Received Nearly
$145,0o0 Insurance on Tanning Plant

Montpelier, June 3--The w. c..
Wasnburn insurance agency has set
tied with the r. c. Fisher Co for the
tannery fire at Bethel April 20 which
destroyed the company's big plant.
The insurance on the buildings and
machinery was $4,000 and the
amount actually paid was $77.651.10.
The stock of hides was insured for
$7S,500, and the amount paid was $67,-
1896. The largest loss by any com
pany was $21,011.65 by tae Liverpool
& London Globe Insurance Co.
The company was doing a large
business at the time of the fire, the
weekly payroll ranging from 81 1900
to $4,000
Bethel people are much pleased to
learn that the plant will be rebuilt
there on a larger scale, although in
ducements have been offered by
Massachusetts and New Hampshire
towns. Bethel has voted to exempt
the new plant from taxation for a
period of ten years.

The public schools of the Benning-
year ending April | cost the taxpayers
approximately $4,000. The number
of pupils averaged about 1000, making
the cost about $26 per pupil. that
is not a severe drain on the public
purse in behalf of the rising genera
tion.-Bennington Banner.
The public schools of the entire
country cost about $500, 600, an.
nually just about what tne govern
ment receives in internal revenue
from the sale of tobacco and liquors.
In Vermont the total is something
over million, the school tax amount
ing to 60 per cent on the grand list
of the state. If we spend no more
in educating the children in the pub
lie schools than the government re
ceives from the sale of liquors and
tobacco we are not extravaganza
Bellows Falls Times.
Just think wat would happen if
the public should spend as much
money for schools as it does for
liquors. We should all have to go to
school until we are sixty to use up
the money. Still we think we have
heard men who spend from one to
three dollars per week for tobacco
and something for liquors grumble
about the measly little sum ne pays
in taxes for the benefit of his town,
county and state and to educate the
children for the citizenship of the
future. 1t doesn't seem possible does
