Mrs. Sage'S Great Offer.

1t is refreshing to see with what a
practical sort of philanthropy Mrs.
Russell Sage is blessing the world. One
of her latest and most tar-reaching bene-
factions is disclosed in the following
press clipping:
Mrs. Russell Sage has offered to the
American Bible society half million, if
an equal amount is raised by December
81. 1909.
Everybody can surely have a share in
securing this grand offer. Let all lovers
of the Bible give according to their
ability, dimes or dollars. At this date
about two hundred thousand have come
in, There must be lively work in the
next three months to get the balance.
Mark all gifts for the Endowment Fund,
William Foulke, Treasurer, Bible House,
New York.
Give and enlist your friends. The
Lord loveth cheerful giver.
We earnestly request that you-not
your friend in Calcutta, nor your
neighbor across the way-but you,
when you read these words, think Of
what it will mean to have an extra
million dollars invested in Bibles and
wisely and widely scattered over the
world, and send your part, large or
small, to the above address. Help Mrs.
Sage to spread the Light The Golden
Age! Atlanta, Ga,

irnately 1000 miles of highway were
constructed or repaired. This proves
that Vermont is wisely expanding it's
money on the highways. If the state
can continue improving 1000 miles OF
highways each year it will not be long
before every highway of any Importance
will be improved.
The amount spent by Massachusetts
for repairs of its permanent roads, the
oldest of which have been built from
twelve to fifteen years, shows that per-
manent roads are not exempt from expen-
ditures for repairs. With these actual
results before them it is not likely YER
monters will ask for a change in Com
missioner Gates highway policy but will
demand continuance of the improve
ment of all the bad sections of highway
until its whole length is improved that
travel over it will be a pleasure.

An Efficient Steward.

The Hotel Review has these words Of
praise for H. M. Wing of St. Johnsbury,
son ofMrs. J. c. Wing, which will be ap-
preciated by all who know him.

due to his untiring energy-he is always
at his post. He holds the record as a
carver, which means a great deal, as

VermOnt's Highway Policy.

The figures published on another page
showing the amount of money expended
upon Vermont highways under state SUI
pervision this season show very pleasing
results. Every town has raised state
highway tax of five cents on a dol
lar of its grand list and has expended its
apportionment of that tax. In addition
to this sum 81 towns have raised from
500 to $500 each in order to secure a
similar amount from the state for the
improvement of its own highways, the
total money from the two sources being
$121,79S. When the towns of Vermont
are willing to expend this sum in excess
of what the state compels them to it is
evident that the spirit of highway inn
provement is strong throughout the
state.
A comparison of the results here with
those of Massachusetts reveals much bet
ter results in Vermont than in Massachu-
sets. In Massachusetts the sum of
$1,OO0,0O0 was spent by the state for
highway purposes. Of this sum 100000
was used for the repair of permanent
roads already constructed by the state
and left 100000 for the construction of
new roads. With this latter sum about
800 miles OF road were built. In Vermont
about $226, 900 was used for the con-
struction of state road work and approx

The Apple Industry.

The New England apple exhibition in
Boston has been a revelation to many
New England people of the possibilities
of this section in the production of fruit.
At the same time it revealed the
fact that the western grower is giving
more scientific care to his orchards,
putting a better class of fruit on the
market and is reaping good rewards for
his work. They are accomplishing these
results despite the fact they have to pay
more for their land, transport their
products about 5000 miles to reach the
eastern markets and cannot produce as
good favored fruit as the New England
grower.
With the advantage of cheaper land,
closer proximity to market and superb
or favored fruit the New Highlander
should not rest until he is able to control
the fruit markets of the East. The only
requisites for gaining this control are a
more honest and uniform sorting of fruit,
a more intelligent effort to produce good
fruit and the production in large enough
quantities to secure the best transport
tation facilities. The opportunity to
secure land here in Vermont at from SIS
to $40 an acre and increase its value to
about 500 an acre without cost, should
not be neglected by the young men of
this state. This increase without cost is
possible because the land can be made to
produce enough to pay all the costs of
Improvements and at the same time it
will increase its value from ten to twenty
fold. Vermonters should keep thinking
of this and arise to their opportunity to
develop new commercial Importance.

day afternoon. Mrs. Sherburne gave a
most interesting account of the organiza-
ton of the society in 1884, by Mrs. T.
P. Frost, and traced its growth and
development down to the present time.
Rev. E. o. Thayer gave the evening
address, and held the close attention of
the audience to the close. He spoke of
the great need of missionary work
among the people of our island posses
sions, of Alaska, and especially among
the immigrants who are crowding to
our shores. He said, "a nations
strength does not consist in wealth, nor
in extent of territory, but in the char
acter of it's citizens" "The women of
this society have been doing the social
work of the church for % years" eve

lation of this country or they will
heathenze us"
A collection was taken to defray the
expenses of the convention, and the exer-
cises closed with the benedction.

The Poultry Industry,

1t is fact not generally known that
of all farm products poultry stands fifth
in value. 1t is estimated that the cash
derived from the sale of poultry and eggs
amounts to half billion dollars an
nually 1t is believed that this amount
is being rapidly increased each year, due
to the fact that farmers are beginning to
realize the profits there are in a we'll
cared for flock Of hens. When all poul-
try keepers fully appreciate how easy it
is to increase the productiveness of their
fowls, it is fair to assume that this
branch of farm products will advance
well toward first place in relative value.
The following letter from c. D. Chatter
ton of West Brookfeld VT, indicates the
way in which some are increasing their
egg production. He says: II have used

PRESS COMMENT.
The witness Fee Expense.

Now comes the witness fee factor of
court expenses for its very sound drub-
bling at the hands of the Montpelier
Journal. The Journal puts it very well:
Vermont pays more for witness fees
than almost any other state in the
Union. If the Journal is correctly in
formed in some New York courts wit
nesses receive only 25 cents a day. The
increased cost to the state is consider.
able. Through the courtesy of the state
auditors office the Journal has obtained
the aggregate amount paid in witness
fees in County courts for the year 1908.
the last year before the change was
made, and for 1865, the year alter the
increase in fees was established. OF
course such amounts huctuate because in
certain years protracted criminal cases
add greatly to the cost.
In 1908 the amount paid in witness
fees amounted $12 ,305 IS. If the fees
had been doubled previous to 1903 the
cost to the state would have been 1914.
610.36. In 1905 the aggregate cost was
SIS, 352.50. Under the old schedule the
cost to the state would have been only
$7,726.25. 1t must be remembered that
these figures do not include the fees paid

Tribute to Col. Walker.

In these days when records for speed,
for strength and size are Haunted in near
ly every newspaper that one picks up, it
is we'll to stop for moment and give
recognition to a record which does not
appear on the sporting calendar or the
newspapers year book-a record for fl
deity and length OF service which proba-
bly, cannot be equalled among all the
millions of industrial workers in this
country. Francis Walker called by
courtesy colonel in his home community,
has been employed ga years without a
break in the Fairbanks scale factory in
St. Johnsbury, and for SO years has been
at the head of the foundry department
of that concern. Col. Walker will be "a
years old, Oct. 81, but despite his age he
is found at his post each day efficiently
directing the work of 160 men. Col.
Walker was the representative from St.

The Tariff Board and Its Work.

The new tariff board, composed of
Prof. H. c. Emery of Yale, J. B.
Reynolds and Alvin H. Sanders, has
begun it's work by appealing to business
interests of the country to furnish it
with information on the actual effects of
foreign tariff laws on American export
ers as compared with their effects on ex-
porters of other countries. In this way
they hope to assist the President in deter
mining whether or not unjust discrimina-
tionexists against American commerce in
the tariffs of any foreign countries. If
such discrimination is found the duties on
imports from those countries to America
will be increased 25 per cent over the
rates named in the Payne tariff law.
SO it will be seen that the fear of some
members of Congress that the tariff
board might be used for the purpose of
formulating tariff revisions at home were
not we'll grounded, The work of the
board, if carried out on the lines begun,
promises to bring about tariff revsons
abroad in favor of American exports
and thus be powerful agency in build
ing up the foreign trade of this country.
If succeeds in this work the hostility
that was shown against it will soon
vanish.

A Notable Record,

The Morrisville News and Citizen has
this editorial mention of one of the best
known railroad men in Vermont:
"Forty-three years in continuous ser
vice as railroad conductor is the record
of Charles Ranney, popular conductor
on the St. J. & L. c. R. R. Always
courteous and pleasant, yet ever Jealous
for the railroads best interests, Mr..
Ranney has many friends all along the
line who wish he might round out a
good half century of service"
And it was Conductor Ranney who,
in a railroad crash in which he was so
desperately injured that his recovery was
a matter of a year, refused to allow the
rescuing party to take him out of the
wreck until every passenger had been
taken out Burlington News.

"Elght Bells" Wednesday, Nov.3.

Unlike most theatrical productions
once seen, Eight Bells" has the effect of
creating desire in the spectator to wit
ness the performance again and again.
Eight Bells" will be presented at The
Colonial, Wednesday, November 3.
Eight Bells" is different from any
other stage performance 1t contains
comedy and pantomime, with any
amount of mechanical effects, the latter
being remarkable for the genius display
ed in their arrangement. The incidental
music is pretty. The company is
thoroughly adequate. The specialties
are ingenious and amusing to a degree
No maudlin melodrama is introduced
and consequently there are no silly lines
and painful situations to endure. The
mechanical effects are surprising, and
songs and dances enliven the whole.
The entertainment is refreshing and in
spring.
