THE PAGEANT.

In recent years 1t has come about that
when a New England town or city cell
ebrates some important anniversary or
INDUCES in an old-home week festival, a
historical pageant is an important fea-
ture on the program, If, indeed, 1t does
not constitute the whole program. Such
pageants have recently been held at
Brattleboro, VT, Lancaster, N. H., ana
Danvers, Mass, and among those pam
ned for later in the summer Is one at
Marblehead, under the auspices OF the
local historical society. Last summer
among the most notable of the New
England pageants, were those at Taun-
ton. Mass, Peterboro, n. H., and Ben
nington, Hartford and Thetford, VI.
The pageant idea is one worthy Of all
encouragement, and 1t deserves 10
spread and prosper. 1t is an importa-
ton from England. where there mas
been a succession of REVEALS OF the
elaborate pageants that were popular III
earlier centuries. In England, however,
the episodes that are enacted are us
ually strictly historical, and commonly
the pageant Is closed with the repro
duction of some incident that happened
not later than the gorgeous reign OF
Queen Elizabeth. While the American
pageants have not neglected the early
years-indeed, they are commonly built
mainly on historical events of local In
terest-there is also more of an attempt
to show the relation between the past
and the present. and even sometimes to
indicate the future.
The educational value of the pageant
is one of it's great advantages, and 1t
has the charm of being presented In the
open, where there is never lack of beau
tiful setting in a New England village
Its presentation usually involves the
participation of hundreds of members of
the community whose pride In their
home town, knowledge of its history
and interest in it's welfare are thus in
creased 1t is the best kind of an at
traction to draw back absent sons and
daughters for an old-home reunion. Its
expense is not great, and it affords a
historical celebration that is fitting, dig
nifed and inspiring and without the re-
grettable features that too often attend
local celebrations of other kinds.-[Bos-
ton Herald.

MRS. ROBERT L. MANLEY.

Mrs. Katie (Kinnie) Manley, 81 wife
of Robert l.. Manley, died suddenly of
heart disease Friday evening while sit
ting in a hammock in the yard at her
home on Maple street. She had been in
i'll health with heart disease about a
year, but for several weeks had felt
much better She was intending to go to
her former home in Dorset for visit and
one of her sisters had come to accom-
pany her there. On Friday evening, after
an unusually comfortable day, she sat
up in the hammock to see her seven
year-old daughter, Eleanor, dance on
the lawn and became suddenly faint and
died before her husband could return
from his work at the Manley Brothers
garage, of which he is one of the pro-
prietors.
Mrs. Manley has lived here since 1898
and was member of the Centre Congre-
gational church and the Ladies' Enter
prise society She was born in Dorset in
August, 1874, a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Albert Kinnie. Mrs. Manley attended
the schools of Dorset and the Troy con-
ference academy in Poutney. She was
married to Robert l.. Manley and came
to Brattleboro in 1885, She leaves her
husband and one daughter, her father
and two sisters, Mrs. Fred Gilbert and
Mrs. John Lille, and two brothers, Will
liam Kinnie and Bert Kinnie, all of Dor
set Prayer was offered in the home
Sunday afternoon at o'clock by Rev.
Henry Lamb, pastor of the First Con-
gregational church of West Brattleboro,
and the body was taken to Dorset Mon
day morning The funeral and burial
took place there Tuesday.

Capital and the South.

Financial noses are keen. Just now
they are turned toward the South. With
a population of $4,000, 900, the South now
has invested in business about $S4, 100000
more than the whole United States could
show in $780, the value of the South's
crops now exceeds the value of the crops
of the whole country as late as 1890;
and it's coal products last year amounted
to two and a half times the coal out
put of the United States in 1890. Go al
most anywhere in the South and you
feel self confidence which is based upon
figures. "They talk big down there"
said an Investigator, but they tell the
truth" He showed some figures which
did indeed talk big In the six months
projects, with a total capitalization Of
lied. They will ultimately develop 1,500, 900
horsepower. Their financiering is looked
after by bankers in London, Toronto,
Montreal, New York, Chicago, Philadel-
phia, Pittsburgh and the cities of the
South. A recent Offering in London of
$40, 900, 900 of bonds of an Alabama pow
er company was largely over-subscribed
Virginia, West Virginia, Georgia and
Alabama are the great water power
states-there, manufacturing enterprises
must grow to justify the investments
which are being made. 1t Is in the
South that the greatest crop increases
are coming that diversified farming is
winning converts most rapidly, and the
situation is freest of the parasites who
fatten on boom time -products-[Col-

been and are being adopted. The farm
ers are much more closely organized
than in America, and for a generation
or more cooperative societies have been
growing, and at present are found in
every field of agriculture.
Cooperative insurance has long been
in use among the European farmers, and
has not been confined to fire and light
ming insurance. but has been extended to
provide for loss of crops by hail or other
unavoidable causes. The insurance Of
livestock has also been developed far in
advance of what we have as yet done.
One advantage that the European far
mer has long had over the American
farmer in the marketing of his product
is the use of a parcels post. Practi-
cally all European countries have par
cells post that carries all kinds of farm
produce direct from the producer to the
consumer at a very reasonable price.
In Germany a package up to IL pounds
in weight can be sent any place in the
empire for ~ cents, and If it is to go
less than ten miles 1t can be sent for
six cents. In the Netherlands the rate
is somewhat lower, and in France, Italy,
England and Denmark practically the
same. Immense quantities. of butter,
eggs, poultry, fruit and vegetables are
sent through the post to private GUS
toners In the large cities by farmers.
The packages are delivered just as let
ters would be and when desired collec-
tions are made and RENTED to the send
er for a small charge. Nothing could
be done in the United States that would
be as mutually beneficial to producer
and consumer as the establishment of a
parcels post. Nothing could be done
that would be as effective in reducing
the excessive cost of distribution that
has entered so much into the high cost
of living in recent years.

BRATTLEB0RO LOCAL
10 YEARS AT RAILROAD STATION.
"Dave" Carey Tells Of Improvement In
Method Of Checking 6ageaee-EIlgbIe
for the Veterans Next Year.

At the close of business tomorrow
evening David s. Carey, ticket agent at
the railroad station will have completed
10 years of service in the employ OF the
Central Vermont railroad. AFTER one
year more he will be eligible for menu
bership in the Veterans association,
composed of men who have been employ
ed in the railroad business 20 years. Mr..
Carey began work more than 10 years
ago in the baggage room in the local
station and remained there until Sept.
&c. 1909, when he went into the ticket
office For many years he was assist
ant to his father Edmund Carey, in
the baggage room.
Dave" as he is Familiarity called by
railroaders, travelling men and many of
the people of the town, has seen many
changes in the business of running
railroad since entering the employ of the
Central Vermont, and he can tell many
interesting anecdotes connected with his
work at the station. One of the
changes most noticeable to him Is in
the method of checking baggage. When
he entered the service the method
used was to give the person own
ing the article brass check,
while the baggage master marked with
piece of chalk on the trunk or bag the
destination of the article. Thus, "S1435"
meant that the trunk was going to
Springfield and that the owner had check
numbered 1895. Some of the stations
were numbered. Thus "317-9S76' meant
that the article was to be sent to Bel
lows Falls and that the check number
was 1916.
often a number would be marked on
the top of a trunk and a lounger would
stroll into the baggageroom. sit on the
trunk and then go out With him went
the directions for shipping the trunk and
then came difficult time in remember
ing it's destination, Many changes were
made in shipping baggage until the pres
ent system was devised, which is very
satisfactory
Mr.. Carey is one of the best-known
ticket agents in New England and Is
never known to have a ''grouch."
short time ago he had an offer from the
Central Vermont railroad to go to White
River Junction as ticket agent, but he
passed it up" preferring to remain in
Brattleboro where he has seen so many
years service.

going to and from work, in hauling the
crops in and hauling the manure back to
the fields can only be endured where la
Dor is cheap and abundant, and then II
is useless loss
European agriculture seems to an
American to be wofully lacking in ag-
rcultural machinery, and large part Of
what they do have, particularly their
harvesting machinery, is of American
manufacture. The fact that machinery
has not been used more is due to the
large number of small farms and the
abundance of labor Take Germany, for
example; with a total number of farms
of 5,550,000. there are 4,S50.000 or 1857
per cent of the total area, that are less
than so acres in size. 1t is impossible
to own much machinery on farms Of
such size. and as a consequence 1t is no
uncommon sight to see hay cut and
raked by hand, grain cut in the same
manner and the cultivation of the ground
done largely by hand. While it is ex-
ceedingly wasteful of labor, and those
who do the work get little in return, 1t
cannot well be otherwise. so long as the
land is cultivated In such small tracts.
The small farmer of Europe who owns
only a few acres exists rather than lives,
and 1t is not a question with him as to
whether 1t would pay him to do his
work with machinery but rather whether
he can get along without It,
A prominent German wrote few years
ago that sugar beet culture would never
succeed in the United States on ac-
count of the American mans attitude
toward women. They were not expected
to work in the fields. and when all the
work must be done by men the cost of
growing the beets was too great. To
see women doing all kinds of field work,
working side by side with men, Is far
from fulfilling an Americans idea OF
woman's sphere, and he prefers to use
more machinery and dispense with the
women as farm hands To refer to
Germany again, out of a total of $780,
900 farm hands, exclusive OF the owners
OF the farms or their families, 2,500.000,
or nearly one-half, are women. AS a
farm hand a woman is regarded as be-
ing worth 60 per cent as much as a
man, but the sugar beet growers of GEN.
trail Germany who employ large numbers
OF transient laborers, who are brought in
for the season from Russia, Poland and
Hungary, prefer women and get as large
a percentage of them as possible. In de-
fence OF the system they say 1t is bet
ter for the women to work In the fields
than to work In the factories, as they
do In the large American cities.
The lessons that may be learned from
European agriculture are not so much
In the matter OF production Of crops as
they are In the business side OF farming
as II affects the marketing and buying
OF products. the farmers credit and the
various forms Of cooperation that have
