is ii not just as fair for me to
criticise the Senator from Wisconsin"
retorted Hitchcock, for advocating a
duty on paper in the interest of the
great paper mills OF Wisconsin to
which the whole country pays trib-
ute?"
Senator La Toilette replied that he
did not favor a duty on paper, that
he was in favor of free print paper,
and would propose a measure in that
interest as direct tariff measure. He
objected to the reciprocity BILL he
said because the newspapers would
get free paper at the expense of the
farmers, whose duties on their prod
ucts would be removed.
Senator Townsend's amendment to
the reciprocity bill, providing for in
ternational improvement of the st.

large vote.

and 15.-White River Junction Land
mark
If we are correctly informed this
is much more than mere local cele-
bration 1t is part of a national eff
fort to improve conditions of rural
life The Landmark as the local
newspaper of that section should in
form the state more fully concerning
it and The Banner for one will un-
dertake to help in giving the matter
all the publicity possible. The adj
vance program sent out has the fol-
lowing to say concerning it:
THE Pageant of Thetford will pres
ent, in dramatic form, by means of
acting, with and without spoken
words, singing, orchestral music and
dramatic dancing, the history of the
lOMn vi litllOlns Vel llOul TIC
coming OF the first settler one hun
dred and fifty years ago down to the
present and on into the future.
"Thetford is a typical agricultural
town OF Vermont, whose history has
been that of most of the farm towns
OF New England. In connection with
the Pageant, the people of the town
have entered upon a movement for
general development of their re-
agricultural, educational
and social. In this they are receiving
the direct assistance of the Univer-
sity OF Vermont and of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The results OF this development work
will be predicted in the last section
OF the Pageant, the episodes OF the
future
THE Pageant of Thetford, there
fore, will be a study OF the rural prob
lem, and it is hoped. contribution
toward making the country town an
ideal place to live in.
The Pageant will comprise twelve
dramatic episodes and five symbolic
scenes It will be given outdoors, in
beautiful location on the banks Of
the Connecticut River, near the vii
lage of North Thetford The new
dramatic dancing will be introduced
into the Pageant in charge Of Miss
Virginia Tanner, who will herself
dance in the three interludes The
music of the Pageant is composed and
arranged for the occasion by Mr.
James T. Sleeper, and will be render
ed by a local orchestra and chorus,
which will continue permanently as
part of the towns social life
While this celebration comes at the
same time as Bennington's historical,
pageant there is ample room for both
and all we folks down here in Ben
nington wish the Thetford people
abundant and deserved success.

Men in tho Field

]. A. McGilicuddy, superintendent
of the county timber cruise. began
the work of cruising last week with q
force of 20 men, starting in the North
river country. Large holders of tim
Der land are not responding with
alacrity to the invitation to send in
the cruiser estimates on the holdings,
so that the expected saving from that
quarter may not materialize. In this
connection. one Of the county commits
sioners is quoted as saying:
"If the big corporations do not as
sist the county in this work, I am
in favor of cruising every quarter
section belonging to them and plac-
ing the figures at their highest, and
assessing them high rate, in order,
to make them pay for the work."
said commissioner today.
"The foreign corporations could
save Chehalis county more than one
half the cost of the cruise, If they
desired to do so. Nothing can be
saved by their refusal, because the
cruising will be the work of compet-
ent men.
