Prior to this date fruit had been
grown in a small way for eighteen
years, but no one engaged in the
Industry extensively on account Of
lack of railroad facilities, the near
est station being Delta, a haul by
wagon of thirty-five miles. Since
the advent of the railroad in 1908
the town has grown by leaps and
bounds from small village to a
modern town, owning its water
system and electric lighting plant,
and is now the home Of two news
papers, a canning factory, an evap-
orator, three large fruit shipping
concerns, numerous up-to-date
mercantile establishments, with
an excellent public school system
and six church organizations.

EARLY SWEET CORN.

1t is not generally realized that
sweet corn on the Fourth of July is
not among the impossibilities any
longer. This has not been a good
year for green corn but a Hockanum
farmer writes the Hartford Courant !:
Il had sweet corn ripe and ready for
market the 18th day of July. but have
picked only a limited amount, as / am
saving it for seed. At the present time
have at least 200 dozen ears past
the eating stage. If it had not been
for the drouth and having it on high
sandy SOIL it would have been a week
earlier"
Now, this means that IL the season
had been good average season. this
sweet corn would have been ready for
the market on July 9Th. At this rate
it looks as if June green corn is among
the future possibilities.
The time was when the smart farm
er had his first green peas on the
Fourth of July, and now it is often
full five weeks earlier than that on
specially early seasons. And while
the green corn and green pea sea-
sons are being brought springward the
strawberry season is being heightened
and the probability is that we shall
yet have August strawberries as well
as June.

CIRCULATION
AS A SUBSCRIBER VIEWS 1T.

The names of subscribers are COM
ing in for the Jubilee book of the 25Oth
anniversary as fast as The Bulletin
anticipated that they would. This book
is essential to the proper completion
of the event, and it's publication was
assumed by The Bulletin as a matter
Of civic pride rather than as a specu-
latiye enterprise. There is no money
an it for the printer. One citizen has
ordered "a copies and one ID, and
these are the only large individual
orders.
An order from New York subscrib-
er. who has no other interest than the
interest awakened by a few years of
residence here, reads:
"Please have my name put down for
one of the celebration books. want
Il for two reasons: First, ! want to
be able to read the whole thing and
study the pictures at my leisure; sec
ond, il is an inVestment--your two
dollar book will be in demand at IS
or better before you and ! get through
selling things. There are people Iiv-
ing in Norwich now who won't order
and whose children will be begging
for copies at any price in 1925"
This is the truth. If The Bulletin
does not print an edition larger than
500 copies, the book may be in such
demand that it will go to a premium
at once.
No agents will be sent out to solicit
orders, because that would add to the
cost of the edition. Names of subscrib-
ers should be sent in to the business
manager of The Bulletin.

NOT TO BE so EASY.

The getting of a vote upon the IL
quor question is not to be so easy in
the future as it has been in the past
1t was an easy matter to procure
twenty-five voters names upon a pc
tition to the selectmen to have a vote
taken for the purpose of determining
whether the citizens were for license
or prohibition. Under the law passed
by the present general assembly, pro-
viding that petition to the selectmen
TO have a vote taken on the liquor
license question at town election
must be signed by ten per cent. Of
the registered voters, instead of by
twenty-five names as heretofore, such
a petition must be signed by ten per
cent. Of the legal voters, which would
mean here in Norwich a list of 500
names sThis gives hope in many
places that the temperance element
has been absolutely checkmated; but
1T will not operate in that way. It
will be more work to get the petition,
but so many people are willing to sign
a petition for anything that the num-
Der of names can readily be procured.
1t should be borne in mind by the
agitators that if petition is to be
gotten up it must be signed and on
fllesin. the selectmens office not later
than September 18th.

papcrlnan. 1t is to his credit that he
measures up to the responsibilities.
There are a few people, not them
selves the superior in breeding or de-
pertinent to the newspaper reporter
who affect to treat him as an Ishmael-
lite. We remember a. case some years
ago when the president of a club, in
asking The Republican to send a rep
resentative to an outing of his organ
ization, specified that he should be a
gentleman. Whoever we send there
to represent US win be a gentleman
was the reply. land let me tell you,
sir, that If anybody gets drunk and
makes q fool of himself at your clam
bake, it will be a member of your
club. and not reporter of The Re-
publican"
There was just enough truth in this
shot to make the official laugh and
admit that his remark was entirely I'M
warranted.
The reporter sometimes comes to
see you about things you would prefer
to keep out of print. Always remem
Der that he dislikes to do So but that
he knows his duty. You cannot help
either him or yourself by scoiding or
calling him names. Even swearing
won't help. Discourtesy may result as
it did in the case mentioned at the be-
ginning of this article. altholgn the
trained reporter endeavors to sink his
identity aid feelings and will do so
except under extreme provocation. In
short, the reporter is like any other
human being. He expands under kind
liness and his soul shrivels up under
harsh treatment, much as yours does.
1t never pays to flout the reporter
He mares and unmalxes more reputa-
lions than you ever dream of. He can
point what is good and suppress what
is not so good, and in the long run,
his influence in this country is greater
than that of the courts and pulpit COM
bined.
Besides, you never know what a re-
porter may become in later years. Re
porters graduate into the highest walks
of life. Ex-reporters are big men in
business and in craftsmanship; they
shine in literature and international
politics They stand before kings and
give counsel to the great men of the
earth. One of them paid $2,525 to
Nordica to sing for King Edwards de-
light the other day, and another sits
in the White house.
Imagine how any man who snubbed
young William Fl. Taft, when he was
a reporter on a Cincinnati newspaper
not so many years ago, must feel when
he remembers it.-Waterbury Repub-
ican.

FINE WRITING BY TELEGRAPH

1t is one thing to tell the news and
another to write poetry. If you can
combine these arts, you're a bird, in
deed. The Associated Press, the great
news gathering and distributing agency
of the world, sent one of these news
poet birds to do up the Wright aero
plane performance near Washington
recently and "he done it, all right
too. Here is how the muse and he
shook it out;
"Out from the edges Of a brilliant
salmon cloud-curtain the silver half
moon sailed, and looked down upon
the scene as the machine dipped in a
cloud of dust"
The chief rival of the "A. Pr is The
New York Sun. and you don't sup
pose it was going to get left as a sky
poet with flying machine around, do
you? Not much. Here's how that es-
teemed contemporary viewed the high
ly colored situation in the heavens:
"As the machine went sailing on the
sun sank lower. The clouds caught
its rays and the sunset was brilliant.
To the south and eastward the gray
clouds turned to pink and red and
purple"
The Sun man overlooked the moon,
but as the moon only shines by re-
Election from the sun that is a small
matter. The "A. P.'s" salmon looked
to The Sun pink. red and purple, which
is going one color better than the sal
mon that people fish for. As for the
sun sinking lower when the machine
went sailing on, we venture the opin-
ion that it would have turned that
trick whether the machine had sailed
or not; for the fact is that it has ac-
quired the habit and cannot stop, if it
wants to.
We leave it for impartial readers to
decide between these rival poets, but
trust that in the competition they will
not forget that there are others. Here
is the este eme1 New York Times,
which also took a lick at the job, and
see what its artist tossed off-just as
easy as rolling off log:
"The scene was a beautiful one. The
clouds were rolling away, and finally
as veil of pink tinted clouds passed
slowly eastward the moon three-quar-
ters full was disclosed. The soft light
fell on the broad white planes of the
flying machine and brought it out in
full relief"
All right but just suppose the soft
light had refused to fall on the white
planes. How much more interesting
and important that phenomenon of

MILITARY MANoEuvREs.

The military interest of New Eng
land Is centered upon the game of wal
to be played on Cape Cod in the week
between August IA and 81. In round
numbers, $4,000 will be &ineolved in
the manoeuvres. About 1000 members
of the Massachusetts militia assisted
by possibly some regular cavalry from
the ranks of the Fighting Tenth the
negro regiment recently stationed al
Fort Ethan Allen, VT, TO serve as or
derlies, will act as a defending force
They will be opposed by about 1000
men of the New York, New Jersey
Connecticut and district of Columbia
national guard.
Under the superstition that the at
lacking force is backed by a strong
naval display, says a Boston paper
the invaders are conceded the STRAIT
egical ability to land their forces. They
will attempt to fight their way through
the state, but the defenders assem- bled
in Boston on the afternoon of Satur-
Elay. August Ia, will be notified
promptly of the place or places of dis
embarkment. Warned of the landing
the defenders, are to be rushed to the
scene. undoubtedly a place bordering
on Buzza<ds bay. The further ma

The defenders will be so arranged
as to deploy the 1000 troops over a
frontage of more than thirty miles.
This initial line of defence to be moved
backward or advanced according to
the strength of the offence will extend
from Plymouth. bordering Cape Cod
bay on the east, to the town of Mans
field, close to the ssachusetts-
Rhode Island boundary on the west.
TIE range of the invaders will neces-
sarily be such as to facilitate a prompt
discovery of any possible 1oopholes"
and ability to concentrate strength at
such points.
The navy is entirely eliminated from
this years game. The problem is one
of repulsing an attack from the rear
Of coast fortificationsS not one of re-
polling naval enemy. There will be
no forced marches on this years pro-
gramme, the movements being regu-
lated entirely by conditions.
Nearly 100000 will be required to
cover the cost of the game. The troops
engaged will receive pay ranging from
81 day for enlisted men to IS for
officers of the line and SIS for those of
the rank of brigadier general. Sala-
ries alone will cost Massachusetts
$4,000 for her troops
That state will also bear the ex-
pense of transporting the defending
army to and from the mastering
point. This is reckoned at $4,000
The eommissary department for the
defending army, having entire charge
of distributing articles, ranging from
$4,000 pounds of fresh beef to 1,50O
packages of matches and 400 pounds
of candles, will expend about as much
more
The army of the invaders will come
to the battle-ground entirely provis-
toned and ACQUIRED.

THE REPORTER.

short time ago The Republican
had occasion to call a reporter to task
for what seemed spitefulness in a
piece of social news.
The reporter had been sent out to
get the particulars of a wedding. Aft
err making four calls. two by appoint
ment. and receiving three severe snubs,
the reporter did not have the required
information. The facts were finally
gathered elsewhere and everything
would have been satisfactory. but in
the article as it appeared was a phrase
that had no business there
In three innocent looking words,
the reporter opened the door of the
family closet. took out a skeleton. held
it up to public view for an instant.
and then with vicious rattle of bones
popped it back into the closet again,
probably forever. 1t was mean but
it was very human, and after listening
to the way the reporter had been
treated that day, we could not blame
him
This brings US to the moral of the
story which is, to be courteous to the
reporter Nine times out of ten he Is
as good as you are, and we are not
always sure about the tenth time,
either. The reporter on newspaper
like The Republican is an Industrious.
we'll behaved and quiet-spoken young
man, who does his duty to the public
and to his employers. There may have
been days in the remote past when
newspaper reporters were more or less
of Bohemians, but that was in other
days. The requirements of the news
paper machine of today call for the
best that is in young men and wom-
en-, and the newspaper gets them.
There is no difference between the
young man who is starting life in a
newspaper Office and the one who is
studying law, medicine or theology,
except that greater responsibilities are

Microbes Make tn. World Go.

Biologists tell US that, as 1t is, en-
tire strata of rocks on the earth's sur
face are largely made up of the skele-
tons of once living forms. Hence if it
were not for bacteria, corpses would
soon pile higher than the Andes, and
the earth would be choked with its
own dead. In other words, bacterial
keeps life going by removing the bod
les of each generation to make room
for the next. This life here begins
with microbes and. ends with them
Therefore, bacteria are indispensable,
and we ought TO be disinterested
enough to admire their activity in
thus working for the good of posteri-
ty. This reminds one, however. of the
Hibernian who. when told that if he
died for old Ireland he would gain the
applause of posterity, demurred with
the words, Faith, what has posterity
done for me that should die for it?"
But do bacteria produce only what
