ONE.CENT LETTER RATE Is
GETTING STRONG BACKING

Hundreds of commercial bodies.
chambers of commerce, boards of
trades and national associations, as
well as thousands of business houses
have endorsed the campaign for one
cent letter postage. A bill pI oviding
for the lower rate has been intro
duced in congress and is being sup
ported by the National One-Cent
Letter association. of Cleveland, o.
Not only the commercial bodies
the big national associations of
business men have endorsed the low
er rate. Among these importat mt or
CARNATIONS are The National Hard
ware association, The national Sup
Ply and Machinery Dealers associa-
ton, The National Dry Goods asso-
citation, The National Wholesale Lum-
ber Dealers association, The Nat
ional Grocers' association, The Nat
ional Shoe Wholesalers association,
The State Grocers' association of
Illinois and Ohio and number of
| other organizations.
The hardware dealers of the coun-
try have expressed themselves par
ticulariy strong on the subject. Every
state and retail hardware associa-
ton throughout the country, as
well as the National Retail Hard
ware associations have gone on rec
ord for lower postage.
In addition to the campaign be-
city of Cleveland. and those OF the
large cities of the Illinois, North
Carolina, Wisconsi Bankers, and
many similar associations have come
out favoring one cent letter postage
Scores of other miscellaneous busi-
ness organizations in every state in
the union have passed favorably on
the matter. Several hundred bust
ness men are conducting campaigns
on their own stationery, urging
their friends to support the move
ment
The association, while seeking a
one-cent rate, is also in favor of
better compensation for postoffice
employees. both of which reforms
would result in better service in the
department.
Many prominent financiers and
politicians as well as government
officials are backing the movement
for one-cent letter postage. These
General Hitchcock and his various
assistants, Senator Theodore E Bur-
ton and Representative John w.
Weeks, who introduced the bill for
one-cent letter postage in congress.
! Vigorous efforts will be made to have
the bill passed upon at as early a
date as possible.
Hundreds of newspapers, maga-
zines. trade periodicals and house
organs located in almost every coun-
ty of every state in the union
have Loyalty supported the measure
and it is believed the time is almost
ripe for a lower rate.

charge of all first class mail matter.
strongly favors the lower rate.
In my judgement" says Mr..
Britt, "a readjustment of postal
rates, so that each class of mail mat
ter shall pay cost of service, will
make possible, not only one-cent let
ter postage, but also many improve
ments in the postal service"

HINTS ON THINNING FRUIT.

In thinning fruit in this coun-
June drop have done their worst
the rude is to leave one apple to
the spur but in some cases this is
too many. Some of the spurs should
bears its fruit on the tips of the
limbs, il is necessary to leave two
to the spur or materially reduce the
crop. The grower should study TO
bear well. This varies with the
strength of the tree. An apple every
span of the hand is a good general
rule. In thinning always leave the
stem hanging to the spur Half 4
dozen stems removed from spur
will cause such an amount of evap-
oration and injure the remaining
stem so much that often the rem ain
ing apple will be blighted. The ap-
PIES to be thinned may be picked of
by hand or cut off with scissors. The
long handled grape scissors are good
for this purpose, When the apples
are picked off. If the grower takes
the small apple between the thumb
and first finger and with the second
finger against the stem bend the ap-
PIE quickly at right angles, in most
varieties It will be easily removed,
leaving the stem on the spur. This
is the quickest method of thinning ap
pies and can readily he used by any
one after little practice Some peo-
pie have the knack of giving the ap-
pie a clever little twist before bend
Ing It over and this brings It every
time without injury to the spur.

A FINDER OF PEOPLE

Emergencies are constant
ly arising which make it nee
essary to communicate with
persons whose exact loca-
tions are not known. In
view of this fact Bell opera
tors everywhere give the
most scrupulous care to To-
eating people and bringing
them together in emergencies
when probably no other
means of communication
would be available.
Bell operators are trained
to follow any reasonable clue.
They have complete infor-
nation concerning residents
in every district, and can often
find parties wanted by street
addresses, occupation, busi-
ness or other indications in
the absence Of names. Their
facilities for locating tran
sients are good. Messengers
are on duty at railway sta
tions and are frequently able
to intercept travellers by des-
cription. and bring them to
a telephone.
Night service is particu-
larly thorough and sympa-
thetic, for it is recognized
that calls then. when the
community is asleep. are
likely to be Of the utmost
urgency.
Toll charges in emergency
messages are no higher than
ordinary rate. and in most
cases the results cannot be
weighed on a money basis.

Decrease in Number of DeerH
Shot.

The deer shooting season closed
Monday, and it is estimated that
fewer deer have been killed than in
in any previous year.
The total number OF deer killed in
Vermont during the first seven days
of the open season. by carefully tabu-
lated returns, is 1893.
Eighty-four were reported killed
in Windsor county.
For the first seven days of the
season in 1910 the total number
reported killed was 1859. In con-
sidering these figures due allowance
must be made for reports in transit
through the mails, delayed reports
and other causes of delay.
Fifty-four does have been reported
killed Ia the majority of cases the
wardens have found the carcasses
with little if any clue as to who did
the shooting. Several cases are be-
ing quietly investigated. Washing
ton county leads in the number of
does shot.

Then he had boy go up on the
