Last year was a good year for apples
in this section and bumper crops were
the rule, but this season conditions are
the opposite. Very few farmers who do
not make a speciality of apples have got
ten more than small crops. Those VINO
devote a good part of their time to their
orchards also report that this is a poor
apple year despite the care bestowed.
On Ames hill, E. b. Barrows has
harvested a fairly good crop. Good
Baldwin apples are being sold in the
stores for $3.50 and $2.75 a barrel, but
not a large number of barrels nave been
brought in. Apple shipments to points
outside the state have been about one
half what they were last year.

put it over" the Keene team they will

as to 0 Saturday on the Bellows Falls
gridiron. The Bellows Falls men out
weighed their opponents and the Keene

Within a very brief time after the
first report of the terrible calamity which
wrought such disaster at and around
Austin, Pa, Sept. 80 had been flashed to
the outer world, Lyman IT. Howe started
several of his most expert motion pic
ture photographers for the scene of dew
astation. They arrived at Austin hours
ahead of any other camera men and were
photographing the sad spectacle almost
before any newspaper men were on the
scene to write about it, The subject has
been treated with great reverence by Mr..
Howe and everything of a gruesome ma
ture has been eliminated. The scenes
tell more wildly than any printed des-
cription the magnitude of the calamity.
They will be presented in the program in
the Auditorium tomorrow afternoon and
evening.
The first real snow storm of the sea-
son occurred early Saturday morning
and when the local residents awoke
they found the ground and trees cover
ed with snow. 1t was a heavy, damp fall
and weighted down shubbery and trees,
causing much damage to young fruit
trees. The leaves have not dropped off
and the heavy weight of snow broke
many small branches and young trees and
caused the stronger ones to bend to the
danger point. On the outskirts of the
town snow fell to the depth or three to
-four inches and remained until Sunday,
while in this village disappeared Saturday
morning as soon as the sun came from
behind the clouds. The Wilmington
stage came in Saturday with snow five
inches deep on the roof. Fields OF rowen
in tumble covered with snow made an
unusual sight.
Herbert G.. Barber. of the law firm of
II. G. e f. f. Barber of Brattleboro, has
announced to some of his friends that he
will be n candidate for the senatOrship
from the southern district or Windham
county in the next session of the state
legislature. The nomination for county
officers will be made in county convention
next July. Mr.. Barber represented his
town in a creditable way in the legisla-
ture of 1908, being one of the leading
members of the House. A rumor has
been current to the effect that Lyman
f. Holden of this town would seek a
seat in the upper branch for the coming
session, but Mr.. Holden informs The
Phoenix that he does not plan to be a
candidate. According to custom the
Office will come to Brattleboro next time,
as it a%lternates in this district between
Rrattleboro and the rest of the district.
The honor went to f. p. Adams of MARI
boro in the last election.
"Baby Mine,' one of William A.
p,.a n xr'C ct1nnnoonC iG of thn ftnttaCt
plays that has been seen in many sea-
sons. 1t was written by Margaret Mayo,
and the theme is based on the departure
from the happy fireside of a devoted
husband because his better-half has told
him a little lie regarding a luncheon she
attended. In order to win the husband
back the wife, with the aid of a sym
pathetic friend, engages a baby at a
founding asylum and apprises the alb
sent one that he is a father. He is de-
lighted and hurries home. At the last
moment the real mother of the founding
decides she wants her baby and then
ensues a series of ~side-splitting compli-
cations that are helped along by the
young husband in his ignorance of con-
ditions. "Baby Nine ran one solid yeqr
at Dalv's theatre, New York, and it is
now playing to overflow at the Vaudeville
theatre London Productions of the
comedy are also under way in Paris, Per-
lin, Vienna, st. Petersburg, Australia,
South Africa and South America. 1t will
have it's first presentation here at the
auditorium next Tuesday evening. Oct.
