Windsor as Leadlng center.

One of Windsors progressive mer-
chants, and there are several Of that
class here, remarked the other day that
Windsor was the trading center for at
least 10000 people. OF course the ma
iority Of these people are living on the
farms in towns adjacent 10 Windsor.
Most Of them are Of the old Yankee
stock thrifty industrious, and mighty
good citizens, If Windsor merchants
allow these good people to do their trad
ing or any considerable part Of it, in
Springfield, Claremont, Or White River
Junction, they are not awake 20 their
opportunity OF course the first requi-
site in securing this trade Is good stores,
that carry good stocks which they are
willing to sell az reasonable prices.
Then, too, there Is great deal II edu-
cation. Every Windsor merchant should
be more than mere shopkeeper. He
should BE- 4 good citizen, deeply inter-
ested in the permanent welfare Of tho
community in which he lives. lie should
be broad enough To feel real 10y ID his
neighbor's prosperity AZ well as his own.
He should be willing 70 Join IN cam.
paiQn to make Windsor the center OF
the little universe hereabouts and take
bis chances on getting bis share Of the
trade. Let the people in the neighboring
towns once set the habit Of heading the
Old mare toward Windsor rather than
some other place whenever they hitch
up, and Windsor's prosperity Is assured.
Get them coming and keep them coming.
That is the way to build up trade and
the town at the same time.-Windsor

COUNTY CONTESTS IN FRUIT
GROWING

One feature Of the state fair which has
not heretofore been given the proper
attention Is the county fruit contest,
a prize Of $3.50 having been offered BY
Il. A. Kennedy 81 Windsor for the best
exhibit by counties. The winner was
declared to % Windsor county, although
tie award was made according to the
preponderance of exhibits rather than
from general excellence. Addison coun-
ty, although having less in quantity,
was conceded to have probably a finer
exhibit than Windsor In apple culture
Addison was found to be far advanced,
while in grape culture there was one ex-
hibit Of thirty four varieties. Franklin
county stood third, as decided BY the
two judges. The advantage Of location
was certainly with Windsor county, since
the fairgrounds were more accessible for
the fruit growers Of that county than
any other But If the contest Is con
tinued another year there is likely to be
different story to tell Addison county
Is generally regarded as the premier fruit
growing section Of Vermont and the
people there can be depended upon to
make special effort another year. since
they have found out what fine advertise
ing possibilities the state fair presents
That the state fair is an admirable place
to advertise goods is shown by the fact
that Morgan horse fanciers came as far
as from Ohio 70 see the splendid stable
Of Morgans and the fame Of the Yer
mont bred Morgans was spread even
wider than ever. The same thing can
be done by the fruit growers Of the
state, and II will be to the advantage
Of all Of them to be represented
at White River Junction, in this county
contest. The state appreciates the
efforts of Mr.. Kennedy to advance the
fruit growing interests Of Vermont
through the formation Of this rivalry
between counties.

The Revolt Against Cannon.

II the statement going the rounds Of

can members Of Congress from Illinois

term for Joseph g. Cannon, Of their own
state, for speaker Is correct, it is Of
great significance The sentiment
against Cannonsm is SO widespread that
IL is doubtful If he can be chosen again
to preside over the House Of Represent
tatives. Opposition to his methods is
very strong in the West, and even in
our own state Of Vermont there is out
spoken hostility TO Cannon on the part
Of press and people. It may have been
purely accidental that the speaker could
not attend the Vermont Fish and Game
league outing last month, a. advertised,
but he was not a popular choice as one
Of the orators Of the occasion.
Mr. Cannon represents a type Of pub
