RAISING HARDY PLANTS
Chance for Ambitious Country wOm-
to Make Money

Kate V. Saint Maur in Woman's
Home Companion for March claims
that the ambitious country woman
can add materially to her income by
raising the old-time hardy plants for
sale among city people with whom
the revival of "Grandma's Garden"
has become a craze. Mrs. Saint
Maur says:
There is such an endless variety
OF perennial plants that it is impossi-
BILE to grow them ALL in fact. it
would be very foolish to try to do so.
Select the best known and most pop
ular kinds and have some of different
sizes, so that you can make up sell
ections for beds. Hollyhocks, fox
gloves, golden glow, monk s-hood all
range from three and a half to five
feet in height After them come
phlox, larkspur false dragon s-head,
/ Canterbury bells and bergamont A
step lower are bleeding-heart column
bine, leopard shane, asters, sweet
williams, and wallhowers. Still lower
are Iceland peoples, Japanese prim-
roses, wake-robin and pansies.
The first year it would add to your
profit to grow a, few of the annual
varieties in the hotbed collection:
Hollyhocks, sweet sultans, sweet to-
bacco asters, wallhowers, mignonette
and SALIVA. Among the perennials
which will flower the first season if
seed is sown in boxes or .hotbeds are
monk s-hood (Which is one of the
most charming of the tall blue flow
ers and comes also in white, and blue
white mixed; larkspur; Chinese bell
flower large bell shaped flowers of
steel blue, white and violet; hello
trope and marshmallows pink, rose
color, white with crimson spots and
golden yellow with maroon centers)
these are amongst the most yalu-
able of the first year boomers, for
they flower all through the summer
Three of the most fragrant ANIMALS
are sweet tobacco, sweet sultan and
mignonette
"Sweetwilliams are such old favor
ties, and are so multicolored that
have always been thankful that they
lowered the first season. Meadow
sweet-or goats beard, as II is Otter
called-is white and fragrant"

EQUAL PAY FOR BOTH

en- ticket sellers will be a great i'm
proyement over men,, he said. They
are heater in their appearance, they
are nimbler with their fingers and
their wits, than any men we can get
for such jobs-they can sell tickets
faster and make change quicker.
They won't make us so much trouble
as men-they are more industrious.
Besides, they are cheaper
Why cheaper asked Mr.. Nc
Adoo.
Why, they were women-of course
they would work for smaller wages
than men, they always did so every
where.

PLUMLEYs POSITION
Vermont Congressman Explains His
Stand Against Reciprocity

Washington, Feb 27.-In response
to a request for his views on the tar
if and other matters Congressman
Frank Plumley of Vermont has writ
ten the following letter to the Wash
ington correspondent of the Rutland
Herald
Washington, D. c.. Feb. 25, 1911.
Mr.. John f. Harris,
Washington, d. c.
Dear Mr.. Harris:-You are so kind
as to ask my position on the tariff
and certain other matters pending
or liable to be pending before Con
gress.
believe in the principle of protec-
ton for home industries through the
adjustment of the customs tariff of a
sufficient amount, only, TO safeguard
these industries against those on for
eign soil and which will permit the
producer to maintain the American
scale of wages and give him a reason
able profit on his capital and reason
able compensation for his own per-
sonal attention TO the business.
expect this principle applied to
present conditions would mean a re-
duction of the tariff in many instan-
ces. If it required a general reduc-
ton to meet this proposition then l
would favor a general reduction but
If a general reduction would not safe
guard certain industries then there
should be as to those industries an
exception.
favor reciprocity, but / would not
so arrange the terms as to disturb
this general proposition Of safeguard
ing the interests of the American
producer and as my best information
is, and take 1t from the statistics
Of commerce and labor. that there is
a difference in wages of farm labor
ers in the Province Of Quebec, and
in the states Of Maine. New Hamp
shire and Vermont an average of q
per cent in favor of the American
farm laborer, the farmer should bC
safeguarded to that extent in the
arrangement, certainly, and It would
seem he should have some allowanc,
for the better homes, better schools
and better conditions of living gen
orally than prevail in the PROVING,
of Quebec where he finds his com
petition.

COMPLETE REPAIRS
MADE THIS WEEK
new PUMP IS INSTALLED AND The
WATER AND LIGHT PLANT IS IN
AN EXCELLENT CONDITION

The installation of the new pump
and the other repairs and improve
ments that are taking place at the
city water and light station are
about completed and the last of
this week will find the plant in the
best of shape for the coming wint-
er and ready to meet all demands
for power, light and water.
The two old boilers have been
thoroughly overhauled, new fues
placed, a new casing of brick set
and the steam generators are in
the best of order. This makes the
battery of four boilers all in good
condition as the other pair, that
were added in more recent years
were in good shape having had an
overhauling not long ago.
Down in the pump pit the new
centrifugal pump has been placed
in its bed fourteen feet below the
level of the floor and will be put
into commission this week. The
pump is fifteen horse electric
and has a lifting capacity of 1900
gallons per minute and will be
used to pump water from the river
into the settling tanks as this
character of pump can handle
fluids of different density without
the wear on parts that are always
giving trouble in the other pumps.
The two other pumps that have
been in operation will be used to
maintain pressure on the mains
from the settling tanks. .:,-4
New transformers have been in
stalled to reduce thex xcurrent from
400 to 250 that being all that the
smaller pump will carry.
A new grade has been put in
around the new settling tank and
nearly fifty feet of new iron eight
inch steel main put into place the
old tile main from the settling tank
that has always before given
trouble by being crushed by the
quick sand.

KILLS HIS Wife
THEN SUICIDES
ALEX PETERS A SPRING BROOK FARMER
TAKES own LIFE AFTER THAT
OF HIS WIFE While INSANE

Alex Peters, a farmer living
three miles south of Spring Brook
went suddenly insane Tuesday
morning and securing a hatchet
attacked his wife and family Of
five small children inflicting
wounds from which his wife died
and one or more others may die
and then tragedy took his own
life by blowing his head off with a
shot gun.
The tragedy took place about
half past four o'clock when Peters
arose and taking the hatchet as
saulted his wife first as she lay
sssleep inaicting dreadful wounds.
Her screams aroused the oldest son
Russell, a boy of about fifteen
years of age too, was asleep in the
room upstairs and who rushed to
the aid of his mother and en-
deavored to drag the crazed father
away from her. Tpe insane man
turned on the boy who ran out of
the room followed by his father
who inflicted several wounds on
the boys head and body and was
turning back to finish the deadly
work on his wife when the lad
rushed into the room and closing
the door held it until Peters again
broke in the door and so beat his
wife about the head that she died
after being brought to Spring
Brook that afternoon.
After finishing the bloody episode
down stairs as he supposed, Peters
went up to the room above where
the other three children we're
sleeping and attacked them savage
ly, they only escaping with their
lives by breaking out a window
and crawling through to the roof
of the kitchen and thence to the
ground below.
After finishing the family, the
crazed farmer roured kerosene
