VERMONT FARMS RISING IN VALUE


1t is a remarkable thing that more
people will buy land when prices are
:ising than when values are low and
at a stanhstin. The present trend In
eon nection with farm values in YER
mont Is a splendid illustration of this
tendency. A man who sells many Yer
mont farms told the writer yesterday
that there was growing demand for
farms in this region in spite of the
fact that values are approaching to a
marked degree as result Of high
prices for various foodstuffs which are
produced on our farms Some people
who went West expecting to mako n
fortune in western farm lands are re-
turning to Vermont realizing that at
present prices there is a better oppor-
tunity to establish a farm home here
than In the West.
A movement which Is tending
strongly to strengthen the prices of
farm lands is that inaugurated by
President william c. Brown of the
New York Central lines.
Tho back-to-th farm movement has
boon formally and permanently or
Eanixed by the creation of the Agri-
cultural Improvement Association OF

MEMORIAL DAY
EXERCISES FINE
SIC AND SPEAKING AS WELL
AS SPLENDID DINNER
ENJOYED.

Memorial Day exercises were fol
lowed Monday in accordance with
the program already published, con-
cluding with a most bountiful din
ner given by the ladies' of the local
Improvement League. From the
morning when the graves in the
cemetery were decorated, until the
conclusion of the dinner in the hall,
the day passed in a continued appro-
pirate observation of the occasion.
AS early as o'clock friends of the
departed visited the cemetery strew-
ing the graves with flowers and
green1ng life rs symbols of remem-
brance and as a token that though
many have departed still they are
not dead. Later in the forenoon, be-
ginning with 8 o'clock friends and
relates of the departed living swell
ed the crowd at the cemetery, un-
til the lot was well filled with peo-
pie. The decorations were made
with loving hands and sympathetic
minds. One beautiful feature through
out was the decorating of graves
by others than the immediate rel
aties, showing brotherhood and sis
terhood unconfined to the limits of
A single family. In this way all the
graves were remembered; and the
sight presented by lilies, carnations,
evergreen, wild flowers, smilax, and
many varieties of living plants, was
a benediction unto life and a joy
even in the midst of human sorrow.
Dinner a Success.
The dinner given by the ladies' of
the Improvement League was a
splendid one and netted a sum of
;65 to the league. The ladies of
the league desire to extend their
deep gratitude to all those ladies' not
members of the organization, who
came so generously and helped make
the dinner success. Also to ex-
tend their thanks publicly to the
young ladies' who so ably waited up
on the tables, both at the dinner
Monday and at the banquet given by
-he Commercial club the evening
Of '''Tom Richardson Day.. Alto
gether, some SIS or $77 were taken
in at the Memorial Day dinner, and
in that considerable of the dinner
was donated, the net profits to the
league were a large proportion of tht
gross result. In this way the league
will soon have funds enough to car
ry forward their cemetery project
and thus meet the commentator
of all here.
