THE PROBLEM.

Our troubles have increased of late:
Alas. how problems veX us;
Il seems as If stubborn Fate
Delighted TO perpleX us.
We fcndly wished our son TO no
man OF deepest knowledge,
For years we've struggled patiently
To pay his way through college
We've watched his progress with pride
That fully has repaid us
For all the luxuries denied
And all the care he's made us
But by a problem hard and grim
We are at present Weighted.
We don't know what to do with him
Since Whites graduated.

WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY
| Vermont Should Produce It's Own Can
| ned Products and Jellies.
| IE,rnrn The Nhifa River Junction LaQds

(From the White River Junction Land
mark)
The White River Junction apple pie Of
to-day as a rule. is made Of evaporated
or dried apple brought from New York.
In the majority Of instances. But much
OF this York State product was made from
apples originally shipped from Vermont,
for which an average price Of % cents
per 100 pounds was paid while the finished
product retails at 25 cents pound. Fac
tory evaporated apple Is product new
to this generation. but already 1t is
world wide staple Up to within few
years even If not now. an inordinats
amount Of sulphur was used for bleach
ing the aim having been to get It as
white as possible. Germany, which coun-
try by the way, safeguards the public
health to a higher degree than does any
other land, prohibited the sale Of the Am
erican article, and even Americans are
becoming sufficiently Intelligent to object
to his artificial and needless bleaching
| by sulphur and its allied fumes.
| But what the Landmark more especially
| desires In this connection Is to call at
ten,ion to the obvious opportunity that ex.
| lists right here In White River Junction
for this establishment OF plant for tha
manufacture OF evaporated apple Moth
| ing OF the kind Is in the whole White
River valley. even II there be IN all YER
mont Still from one town In the White
River valley there were shipped last au.
tumn. no less than eight full carloads OF
apples to one Of the York State factories.
Presumably moro or less of the finished
product is resold at "25 cents per" to
these same people of the White River VAL

PIGS BORN WITH TUSKS.

swamps of Robson county and
put him on it's staff. And we
might add that as yarn weaver,
he is entitled to good wages.

Happy Jack" is all right, bat
honest, now, he was not respon-
sible for that story about the
pigs born with tusks, as you seem
to think. That those pigs hap
pened just like it was told in the
news item in last Mondays Rob-
esonian good men and true will
depose and say. What ais you.
man? Is not the truth the truth?
That pig story stands. It's
strange, but true. Since Mr.. W.
0. Britt gave the story to The
Robesonian Postmaster Lewis
Lawson, of Drum, has confirm
ed it; and Happy Jack" in a
letter which we must hold over
for Thursdays paper, says that
his father has five pigs that were
born with tusks about an inch
long. Their tongues were cut
to pieces, but the tusks were
broken off and the pigs are now
doing we'll.
That's the remedy. The tusks
must be broken off.
| Mr.. Lawson thinks perhaps
these freaks are the result of
mixing with Some fierce breeds
that were imported from down
): Greensboro way.
Instances of single freaks of
this kind are perhaps not un.
known, but this is wholesale.
Some forth or fifty maybe more
= pigs have been born with tusks
