One Of the great opportunities that
await action by the people Of Vermont
is apple growing. Our oranges might
proftably take up the crusade for more
and better apples. When il has been
proved satisfactorily that our state can
do a thing quite as well as any other,
that we need to develop all our resources

decadence in our rural communities,
then all good Yermonters ought to la

used perfectly legitimate means in the
conduct of his campaign, that he spent
no money unfairly and that be scruti-
nized each expenditure with due care,
so that there should be no perversion of
the money to uses other than intended.
In short, there can be no exclusive criti-
eism of the methods pursued by the
individual candidate for office; but there
can be, and is, a great deal of fault
found with the spirit of the times which
permits such state Of affairs to exist.
The idea Of a seeker for office spending
Sl6.635 to gain his ambitionl
The amount is not, of course, large
to man of Foss' means, since he is
rated as a millionaire; but it is a figure
which prohibits the entrance to politics
Of very large percentage Of men who
would be splendid officials, It is a dc.
cidedly wrong viewpoint which tolerates
such extravagant methods and which re-
stricts the field Of larger politics to a
comparatively few men who have the
fortunes to spend in their self-seeking
For instance, look over the list of men
in Vermont who are competent to be
governor of this state and see how many
OF them are in financial position to stand
such an expenditure as Foss has just
made in Massachusetts,; for Vermont,
too, has been somewhat noted for lavish
expenditures by some candidates. Doubt
less, the number who would be able to
compete in such political race would
be very small. Yet we Americon people
permit such conditions to exist. And
the conditions will exist, too, until the
people rise up and shove poor but capa-
BILE men into Office, even in the face OF
Haunting thousands and millions of dol
lars.

JINGLES And JESTS
FAIRY TALES.

You never hear good stories now,
The DEAR old fashioned kind;
These modern tales don't seem, some
how,
To satisfy the mind.
| wish someone would tell few
Like those we loved of old;
The ones we used to think were true
The stories mother toldl
When / was just a little chap,
As soon as it was night
I'd CLIMB up into mothers lap
And she would hold me tight,
And tells of fairies, giants, and
OF warriors brave and bold
And ne'er have tales seemed half so
grand
As those that mother told
Tale after tale she'd tell-and then,
When she would say she'd done,
I'd always make her start again
And tell another onej
Until, at last, all tired out,
My eyes would lose their hold
On wakefulness-Pd dream about
The tales that mother told.
Then, by and by, there'd come a knock,
And she'd let father in.
And, as she pointed at the clock,
He'd grin a sickly grin;
His business kept him late, he swore,
And he'd explain and scold
Till mothers tales looked pale before
The stories father told

MOntpelieris Apple Show.

The results of the annual meeting of
the Vermont Horticultural society, with
the accompanying apple show, are of
such beneficial nature that they are
likely to be felt for many years. Every
meeting of this kind arouses new en-
thusiasm and sends forth men who are
determined to make Vermont as good
an apple growing state as Oregon and
Washington. Every meeting of this kind
Is better than its predecessor, which
shows that the Green Mountain state
is making progress in the right direc-
ton.
The display Of fruit was particularly
creditable. A great number of varieties
constituted the exhibit and the quality
was excellent. Our fruit growers are
learning that it pays to pack selected
fruit in neat boxes, bearing attractive
labels, because the appeal is to the eye
as well as to the palate. 1t has been
demonstrated that it is possible for YER
mont to produce just as good apples as
can be grown anywhere But only a
few of our growers take pains to pro-
duce such apples What we need is
missionary work that VIII induce hun
dreds Of apple growers to do what
few are now doing. Until we get to
the point where it isn't too much both
err to prune and spray and fertilize and
cultivate and pick and pack correctly we
will continue to raise bumper crops of
cider apples with few seconds and
thirds. 1t is willingness to bother
that brings success in any line of bus
mess.
It is gratifying to note the improve
ment that is being made in Washing
ton county, and no little credit is due
to the apple meeting held in this city
year ago under the auspices of the
board Of trade Some of the old orch
ards in this vicinity are being removal
ed and that is the quickest way to get
returns in apple growing, taking much
less time to get profits than is neees-
sary when a new orchard is set out.
The attendance at these meetings
ought to be much larger The money
spent in attending such convention is
well invested if the information gained
is put to a proper use. The various
addresses made were practical and help

MAINE OFFICIALLY PROHIBITION
STATE


The official announcement that Maine
voted against the repeal of the prohibit
tion amendment of the state constitu-
tion by majority Of 75s votes, as de-
cided yesterday after formal canvass of
the returns, merely determines a basis
of administration it scarcely removes
the doubt in the minds of great many
people, regardless Of their affiliation
lnasmuch as the returns Of the county
clerks gave a majority of 26 votes in
favor of the repeal, only to be reversed
to 75S against repeal on the changed
figures of four town clerks, an uncer-
tainty was developed in the minds Of
many people, an uncertainty which of
fetal pronouncement cannot dissipate.
lt is, of course, an uncertainty based on
little more than ones personal opinion
and, therefore, Of little value. However,
the doubt is still there and win not be
satisfied until another election on the
proposed repeal on the constitutional
amendment comes around, as naturally
it viii come around. But for the time
being, the official decision just announced
will have to do as a basis Of operation.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inf1amed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed, you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the infiamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inf1amed con-
adition of the mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
Catarrh) that cannot be cured by

lars, free Sold by druggists, 75c. Take
