and already $500 trees have been
planted On this farm the expert
ment station people will try to learn
what varieties and what methods are
best for Maine apple growers. 1t is
great and wise undertaking, and the
people turned out to start it. 1t
seems that some shippers of Maine
apples have tried hard to pass off in
ferior fruit for A No. 1 apples, The
folly of such work ought to be clear
to everyone who knows what an ap-
pie tree is. At this meeting Prof.
Woods of the experiment station hit
the keynote when he said that If
Maine farmers would try as hard to
put specials on the market as they do
to run in culls the reputation for
Maine fruit would be second to none.
Some years ago Maine man told
us about pauper. This man ap-
piled to the town for support, and
the selectmen went with wagon to
carry the family to the poorhouse.
The wife and children went that way,
but the man rode ON his own bicycle.
Surely nowhere else except in the
"Contented State" do paupers own
bicycles. In one of her short stories
Sarah Orne Jewett tells of an old lady
who lived ON the town farm. A small
legacy was left her, and the old lady
spent it in going to the Centennial
Exposition--and then went back to
the happy family at the poorhouse.
The farmers ride in automobiles on
occasion and many of them make
enough out of their farms to buy
motor cars. The group in the auto
is made up of solid Maine folks. The
artist who took the picture says: "The
lady on the rear seat with hand on
the frame, raised and marketed $50
bushels of Burbank plums this year
but she does not grow the wonder
berry,"

Pure, red blood has well been called
the vital principle of life for upon it the
tissues of the body live. 1t goes to prac-
tioally every part of the body, CARRYING
nourishment and oxygen, taking up the
wastes and so changing them that they
can be cast out of the system. As our
every act results in the breaking down
of the tissues and the formation Of
waste materials, the body is in a con-
slant state of change. To maintain
health, strength aud life, the blood must
be pure in order to replace these tissues
with plenty of fresh nourishment and to
rid the body of Its waste material.
The value of reliable tonic medicine
is well shown in the case of Mr.. John

THE "BASHFUL STATE"
This Title Given TO Vermont Because
Our People Neglect to "BlOw Their
Own Horn"


Own Horn"
We have called Vermont the "Bash.
full State" says the Rural New York
erThe name is appropriate, for with
many advantages and opportunities to
offer Vermont people seem to hesitate
to blow their horn" Maine is an
other New England State with great
natural advantages. Yet while the Pa
cifc Coast and Western Canada are
kept in the limelight, did you ever
read boom" or a boost" for
Maine? Some of the most beautiful
and finely-havored apples that ever
went down the happy apple lane are
grown in Maine. The Aroostock coun-
try is one of the worlds noted potato
sections. The poultry business has
reached large proportions.
If you want horse than can "go"
and keep going get one bred in Maine.
AS for a wife Vermont and Maine are
in much the same latitude. One
could easily fill a column with the
superior qualities of Names prod
ucts--yet who ever read an article
waving the flag about them, as is
done about Oregon, California or AL
berta? The reason why these articles
are not written appears to be the fact
that as rule Maine folks are SO
thoroughly contented that 1t is not
necessary for them to shout. We may
therefore call Maine the "Contented
State"
But seriously, up in the northeast
corner of this country lies some of
the best farming land on the con-
tinent. The winters are cold, but the
summers are mild and quick, and
with proper care of the soil great
crops of potatoes, hay, sweet corn
and similar things are grown. New
England is usually thought of as a
rough rocky country, yet in Maine
will be found great stretches of
smooth level land. Parts of eastern
Maine reminds one very much of
Michigan. While most of the State is
very productive, the local markets
are particularly good. During the
summer the State is one great camp
ing ground for tourists. They camp or
live in boarding houses and hotels

WANTS CASE TRANSFERRED.
Petition For Separate Maintenance
With AlimOny In Middle.

Brattleboro, Nov 12.-The hearing
which was scheduled today in the
case of Angeline M. Larrow, OF Holy
oke, Mass, against Frank H. Larrow,
on petition of the plaintiff for sep
arate maintenance with temporary
alimony has been postponed until to-
morrow morning at o'clock before
Judge Hall on a petition introduced
by counsel for the defendant asking
that the case be transferred from the
Windsor County Court to the United
States Circuit Court
The contention the defendant sets
up is that the case is between two
parties, both from different States,
Mrs. Larrow being resident Of
Massachusetts, the defendant of Ne
braska, living In Omaha. The petit
ton alleges that he is in no way
bound to furnish alimony or contri-
butte maintenance as he was divorced
in the Nebraska courts in June, 1903.

along the ragged shores, or follow the
river back to the wilderness. They
eat with an appetite which greets
them as they enter the State, and
they pay for the food. Thus while
Maine cannot be called manufac-
turing State, there is a great summer
market for fruit, vegetables, poultry
and dairy products and other things
which good farmers can produce.
Along the rivers on the rich bottom
lands are many hay farms which
yield good incomes. The State has
never been doomed" as farming
section, yet for quiet, industrious peo-
pie it offers many attractions.
The picture shows some Maine peo-
pie and the way they turn out at
farmers meetings. This meeting was
held on the farm at Monmouth which
the State has bought for experiments
in orcharding. There are 225 acres,

Almost every prosperous township
which has attained it's century mark
can point with more or less pride to
some house of public entertainment,
some quaint tavern or hosiery which
has come up into the present day
with the growth of the town, hous-
ing the strangers within it's gates
and sheltering the great men and the
small men who could tarry but a
while. Montpelier possesses such a
hotel in the Pavilion on State street,
a structure which attained in its first
year, the reputation of being one of
the best hotels in New England, a
reputation which, by the way, it has
kept with it until today and which
has increased in favor instead of de-
teriorating.
In the days of that Cody scholar,
and gentleman pioneer, Col. Jacob
Davis, Montpelier boosted no tavern
but the hospitality to be found with
in the Davis home, filled as it was
with the large family of stalwart sons
and blooming daughters, was wide
spread. Here in 1898, Prince Edward
of England, Duke of Kent, son of
George, the third, and father of Queen
Victoria, with a retinue of twenty men
to taste his food and protect his
person, supped and slept. In that
year, also, was built the first hotel
by Col. Davis the Union House, on
the site of the present Unitarian
church. This tavern burned in 1885
Another brick hotel here burned in
1859 and was succeeded by the pres
ent Union House. The second tavern
was the Hutchins or Shepard hotel
on Main street at the head of Barre
street and this structure also burned
The third hotel, the one with which
this article has to deal, was built in
the winter of 1807-1S08 by Thomas
Davis and, in that day achieved 9
splendid reputation. In 1908, the first
Legislature convened in the newly
completed State House and the Pa.
