This came to our notice a few days
ago and upon inquiry we learned that
several well-known merchants have Is
sued them. Having an out-of-town
clientele and wishing to give their Gus
toners the best of service and at the
same time to obtain more trade, they
invite these customers to call them up
bv Bell Telephone and agree to pay
whatever toll charges there may be on
the call. After the customer has CIV
en- the order, he ascertalns from the
telephone operator the amount OF toll
charges, which he enters on the eou-
pom as provided. The coupon is mailed
to the merchant and the amount stated
thereon is deducted from the bill for
the goods ordered-or it is held and re-
mitted as part payment on the bill sub
sequently rendered.
This plan has many excellent Tea
lures. In the first place it saves car
fare, and also time-a great deal OF
time. Then, equal to either of these, is
the advantage of quickness. The tele-
phone is speedy-it only takes few
moments to telephone an order; and
before we know it the goods are on the
way. sooner, much sooner than we
could have secured them by going to
town in person. And the progressive
merchant pays the bill for the toll SER
vice.
Alert, up-to-date merchants in almost
every line of wholesale and retail trade
are adopting the idea. Wholesale
grocers, commission men and supply
houses, etc., find it an excellent means
of obtaining rush orders and rendering
a service which will make customers
stick.
AS for the retailers, Fin all classes OF
business, they have gained astonishing
" good results from its use. Depart
ment stores particularly can use it
probably. 1t opens up an easy way
to shop for the woman who lives miles
from town and who cannot reach 1t
as often as she might wish. 1t enables
her to take advantage of the special
offers advertised in the papers from
day to day. The telephone brings the
stores to her home, and the store pays
the cost of the trip.
Our QUITO town readers who have
not vet heard of this scheme will see
its advantages at once and, without
doubt, such a beneficial plan for both
merchant and customer will spread

Buffalo Bill to Retire

Considerable interest has been arous-
ed in this vicinity through the announc-
ed appearance of Buffalo Bills Wild
West and Pawnee Bills Far East at
Washington, D. c., April 18th and 18th.
Col. VIM. ?. Cody, the original and
only Buffalo Bill" travels with the
big exhibition and positively appears at
everv performance, rain or shine, but
this will be his farewell appearance IN
this section as he is soon to retire.
Arrangements have been made with
the railroad officials to run eXcurs ,ons
at special rates from the various
stations along the line and there will be
special provisions for the accommoda-
ton. To the small boy and grown-up
Buffalo Bill' will be the chief attrac-
ton. for his fame is not dimmed by the
years which have since he helped write
the story of the West through his
heroic deeds. One of the principal
contests of the red men, in which he
took active part, will be pictured in the
open-air melodrama. The Battle OF
Summit Springs, an engagement IN
miniature introducing more than one
hundred Indians and as many cavalry
men and soldiers. Contrasted with
this scene will be an Oriental spectacle
which will picture the gorgeous beauties
of the Far East, its pageantry and
people, its pleasures and pastimes,
and its strange costumes customs.
Turning again to American history,
there will be an Attack Upon an
Emigrant Train and A Holiday at ct
E" Ranch. Rossi's Musical Elephants
will be particular feature of the Far
East scene, and as an Individual fea-
ture of the Wild West section OF the
exhibition Range Horses will be shown
in feats of grace and equine skill.
Sharpshooting by Johnny Baker will be
particular attractive feature, and
bunch of bucking bronchos will furnish
the principal comedy element of an
exhilarating and strenuous exhibition.

April 9th, was the anniversary
of the surrender Of General Lee
at Appomattox. The day is we'll
remembered in this county by
the older inhabitants who will
never forget the gloom and de-
spondency which settled over the
community. In mentioning the
anniversary the Philadelphia
Record of Sunday said:
Forty-six years ago the Con-
federate States of America
virtually came to their end.
There was some resistance for
a few weeks, but practically the
war ended when Lee surrended
to Grant. The courage and
heroism on both sides was cour-
age and heroism of Americans
and the recollection of it is the
common heritage Of US all, north
aud south. The controversies
were so serious, the antagonisms
of interest were so deep-seated,
that probably there could have
been no permanent peaceful set
Element, but it is the browning
glory of the American people
that the results Of the war have
benefited all, and both sections
have acquired a higher and
broader patriotism than they
knew before.

CHAMP CLARK AS A PRESIDEN
TIAL POSSIBILITY.

Few men have grown so much
in public estimation during the
past year as the Hon. Champ
Clark, of Missouri. His wise
leadership of the minority had
no little to do with the success
of the Democrats in securing
control of the House of Repre-
sentatives, says the Baltimore
Sun. His devotion to his
principles was shown by his re-
nouncing his claims to the powers
exercised by Cannon against
which Clark had long protested.
Elevated to the highest Office
within the gift Of the Democrats;
he has borne himself with be-
coming modesty. AS Speaker
of the House he has made a fine
beginning, has delighted his
friends and disappointed his
enemies.
Though he has not appeared
as an active candidate for the
Democratic nomination, many of
the faithful have remarked that
Champ Clark would make a
mighty strong run for Presi-
dent" Mr.. Clark himself mod
estly admits it, for when an in
terviewer asked him if he thought
he would be nominated he
laughingly remarked that the
party can go farther and do
worse. )" A few years ago the
Democrats were wondering
whom they could nominate, if
they ever got the chance to save
the country once more. Now
the Democratic woods are full
of fine Presidential timber.
Woodrow Wilson, Judson
Harmon, Marshall Of Indiana,
O'Gorman and Gaynor of New
York and Champ Clark give a
wide range of choice all of them
big, broadminded men who
would make good Presidents.
1t is wholesome sign to see so
many men urged by their friends.
The Democrats do not believe in
monopoly in Presidential candi-
dates any more than they do in
other things, and no man
has a mortgage on the
nomination. The report that
William J. Bryan and William R.
Hearst are working together and
that both look with favor upon
Mr.. Clark gives a decided impetus
to the movement for him. He
has been Mr.. Bryan's staunch
friend for twenty years, and the
Bryan influence, coupled with
the power and energy of Mr..
Hearst. would make him a for
midable candidate.
AS for Mr.. Clark himself, he
is not worrying about 1912, but
devoting all his time to filing
the job of Speaker and seeing
that the Democrats make a rec
ord that will pave the way for
the election of the man the
Democrats nominate next year,
no matter who he may be. But
a successful Speaker, who is an
old-fashioned Democrat with
progressive ideas and sound
principles, is certain to be given
careful consideration when the
Democrats meet to make up
their minds at the Baltimore Ma
tional Convention in 1912.

SUGAR MAKING IN VERMONT.

The Rutland Press doesn't endorse the sentiments of the Boston Tran script with reference to maple sugar making in that state. and in reply it says. If the writer of the above were 10 visit Vermont two or three weeks hence. he would find the error of his statement; for nearly every church society. many fraternal organizations and fnnumerable clubs will be holding their annual sugaring -ofr parties, par- ticipated i'm with all the zest of the good old days which one is prone to recall Out in the woods, too, there would be found the less formal par ties gathered about the boiling pans, with the people sweeping the vapor- tngs from the surface of the ebullient uQuid. psrchance slipping eggs into tho pans to add to the expected re- yasf, transferring the syrup to the ooflinB down pan and then extending c wafchful care lest the thickening mass become burned, now and then slipping a crotchsd splinter in the fluid and fetching forth few drops of sugar to hold to tle air, for de- termining if the stuff is done, Then the joyful groups would seat thena- selves on wooden chopping blocks and chatter as they ate the delicious prod uct of the Vermont naples
 NO, the days of the maple sugar glory of Vermont are not gone, albeit one is forced to admit that sugar. making is somewhat on the decline. lt will continue to decline if the ruth less slaughter of noble maple trees 3s kept up; and this, too. in the face of . growing market for one of the finest products of the Vermont hills"

The Little Fellows.

There is story of veteran and expert sailor who was denied a posi- tion as lighthouse keeper because he couldn't answer the civil service boards question, "Who was Uncas? ?" Goyernor Baldwin seems to voice a mild disapproval of certain civil ser vice limitations in his declaration that the executive heads of departments should be linen who have made good in other ways than by writing answers to examination questions" There is little doubt that the governor believes in the merits of the civil service sys- tenn. when kept within it's proper sphere and conducted by sensible methods, yet his implied contempt for some of it's workings is most gratifying to certain practical politicians. The practical politician, mind you, has found that the most successful Ob- struction to the advance of civil ser vice can be accomplished by pointing out the apparent inconsistency of ap
 plying it to the little fellows while the big fellows run loose. To many little fellows this seems an injustice. And the little fellows are in the majority. Waterbury American.

MILITARY SPIRIT WANING.

 It ls well said that ~the tipe was when the National guard was one huge 5o1fflc2tfon party, when no thought was given to preparation for killing tho enemy since all was devoted to the killing of time to 'thes most enjoyable tuno. They were days of brass<bu tons. waving plumss and sway backs, and spring training wes Tan event to be looked forward to and long dis cussed after 1t had slipped into the past-~
 The St AIbans Messenger notes the namo evidences of a waning military spir1t in Vermont, and it says:
 ~1hs war department lends every kfHort to have it's reserve conform as elosely as possible with the standard maintained in the regular army, with the result that the pleasure of the in- dividua1 is lost in the turmoil of crowding a great amount of work into . small allotment of timt. There are those officers of the regular establish ment who express the opinion, based upon personal observation, that the National guard would be greatly bene- flfsd if some plan were worked out to mako the service more inviting. In New York state the company is al- most a social cIub-when off duty and 1t ranks with the best-when on duty The esprit de corps which is developed by such minsIins in . social way as Is offered in Minnesota is oi t1e highest value in . military sense K is almost too much to expect that ( young man will give up so much of his time to nothing but real 1abc-.
