A Vermont Opportunity

From 1900 to 1910 the population
of the country increased twenty per
cent and the number of cattle only
ten and seven -tenths per cent and
with the decrease in available cheap
grazing land the supply of cattle
promises to decrease still further In
comparison Nth the increase in pop
ulation This indicates that the
price of cattle is more likely to in
crease than decrease and so the rails
ing Of cattle promises to become
more profitable than in the past.
Vermont has lots of cheap grazing
land that is not utilized and there
are thousands Of tons Of good stock
hay shipped out Of the state every
winter furnishing abundant means
for the production OF good cattle.
With conditions like these It would
seem a promising time to Increase

Epworth Halloween Party.

Friday evening Epworth Leaguers
and their friends to the number of
over one hundred sought admission
to the Methodist church, having been
invited thither to attend a Hallow-
cen party, by the fourth depart
ment. All the doors and windows
were securely locked, however, and
it seemed to some that mistake had
been made. Horrible sounds soon
began to issue from the basement
and ghostly figures arrived and dis
appeared through the cordwood en-
trance. The guests were directed by
receiving spooks to follow rope,
which led through the dark and cav
ernous recesses of the basement,
lighted only by fitful CLEANS from a
huge and horrible jack-o'- lantern.
After ascending the stairway and
laying aside wraps in the room above,
each guest, whether a disembodied
spirit or a person of flesh and blood,
was required to sign a register and
