DR.. Reuben Fugate bought us In

raised on his back lot in town and
which he calls his Woodrow Wilson
corn. Some of the ears measure II
inches in length and have as many
as n rows on the ear. Hesays after
Smelling four ears one day 1t looked
like such large bulk that he weigh
ed the grains, and 1t Tripod the scales
at 3s4 pounds. He raised 10 bushels
of corn on this back lot, about n
quarter of on acre; but that isn't
all-he wanted to show that three
crops could be gown on piece OF

Lower Prices.

The prosperity at stake in this cleo
ton is not merely nominal. If industry
Is not threatened there will be not only
more employment for the people but
their wages will buy more than they
have bought in recent years. Big crops
have at last brought check to the
advance in the cost of living, and Pres
ident Taft. with the statistics prepared
by the secretary of agriculture before
him. is able to announce the belief that
the upward tendency is at an end. Govern
ment estimates show that the household
bills of the nation will be $500 0O0, 900 low
er this year than last. Flour Is already
so cents a barrel lower at the mills than
1t was a year ago. A record corn crop
and the consequent lower price for that
cereal Is expected to bring cheaper
meat Potatoes are so much more plen-
tiful than they were last year that the
consumers will save $1000O0,OO0 on them
In the course of the year.
If, therefore, nothing is done to dis
turb the confidence of business, the
wage earners of the country will soon
time when their money will go further
than 1t has gone in recent years Thus
1t Is very real prosperity that is
threatened by the uncertainty which
will prevail II the Democratic party Is
placed in power and begins its work OF
destroying the projection which Amer
lean industries enjoy. With the cost of
living coming down, the one element of
weakness in the economic situation Is
clearing up. Lower prices. which seem
at last in sight, will afford a sound
basis for lasting prosperty.-[New York

A New Highway.

The new state highway in Vermont on
the Readsboro road will do much, when
it is carried to completion, to compen-
safe for the selection of the Cold River
route in preference to the Hoosac Tun-
mel route on the Hoosac mountain high
way.
One of the advantages Of the Tunnel
route was the opportunity it offered for
the development of new route through
Vermont into the White mountains by
way of this city, Hoosac Tunnel, Will
mington and thence to Brattleboro. The
Cold River route, by cutting out the
Hoosac Tunnel connection with the road
up through the Deerfeld valley into
Vermont preculdes such a development.
But the automobile traffic from Brat
tleboro through Wilmington, attracted
by good road through Readsboro into
the Berkshires by way of this city, will
in reality find better travelling condi-
lions, because the distance is consid-
erably less and the grades, as a whole,
are considerably better.
In this connection the federal road
commissioner who is cooperating with
the Vermont authorities in the construc-
ton of this road, believes that Vermont
will demonstrate to Massachusetts, that
the gravel road, properly constructed
and drained is not only very much
cheaper, but actually better than the
standard Massachusetts, macadam for
automobile traffic.-tNorth Adams Tran

anon, NJ. H., manufacturers Of the cele-
brated c. M Baxter Wood Working Ma
chlnery, will sell by public auction under
license of Grafton county probate court,
at some date during this month their
factory including the good Will and pat
terms for the above machines.
The transfer of this realty carries with
it the obligation of a neighboring manu-
facturer to furnish to this property cleo
trio power to tie extent of IS horse
power, to be furnished and delivered at
absolutely no cost whatever during 40
hours per day and extra time when nee
essary," their own realty worth more
than $685. 900, depending upon deed from
Martin V. Purmort, proprietor of Baxter
Machine Company, and contingent upon
their furnishing above mentioned power
to Martin V. Purmort and his assigns"
While this property was built and Is
used for a machine shop, it is well
adapted to any other factory purpose re-
curing above amount of power.
1t is within fire precinct protection and
gets best rates for insurance, and also Is
sufficiently detached from other prop
erty so that celluloid and other infiam-
mable hazards would probably not cause
raise of rates to surrounding property.
II interested please send inquiry to the
undersigned and get "a catalogue giving
detailed description, including date OF
auction, which is not fully decided but
will be within this month.

The severity of this disease, the rap
idity of its spread and the desire of the
people to protect their trees have de-
veloped most fertile field for the
quack tree doctors who are claiming to
cure trees by secret methods. These
methods usually consist in putting Sc
cret preparations under the bark or in
the soil about the roots of the trees.
Similar methods have been used for
other tree diseases in various parts of
the country. but without success There
are no such treatments for diseases OF
this character known to science, and the
authors of these secret methods freely
acknowledge that their treatments are
not recognized by scientific workers. The
people are cautioned against patronizing
these companies.

The Cost of IiXlna.

To the Editor of the New York Sun:
l have read with interest several let
tiers from correspondents on the high
cost of living.
One who has worked in a country gen.
eral store can easily explain the whole
situation. Not many years ago the la
boring man purchased his cereals and
all grain products in bulk, whereas he
now purchases the same food and other
foods in packages and pays three times
as much because he pays for packages
and advertising, He was then satis-
fled with farmers butter, but now he
demands creamery butter and will not
buy the jar butter of the farmer Be-
fore the era of high wages every work.
ingman In the country had his COW and
pig and family garden. Now very few
keep cows and fewer keep pigs. The
workingman will not take care of a
garden now. He buys his vegetables OF
the grocer.
Formerly every man bought a quarter
or side Of beef for winter use, now he
buys western beef and wants steaks OF
the best quality. You cannot sell him
native beef. In fact, II the workingman
would buy the same food in the same
way he formerly did he could live al
most as cheaply as ever. 1t Is also a
fact that a great many of the goods
which every householder must buy are
much cheaper than formerly
The children of the workingman now
spend for clothing and luxuries .much
more than the children of those fairly
well to do spent a few years ago. The
laboring man spends more In every way
In travel, at shows and other entertain
ments, and thinks nothing of losing a
days work. Twenty years ago 1t was
serious matter for a laboring man to
lose a day
There is no problem of high cost OF
living. The whole trouble is extrav-
agance. COUNTRY MERCHANT

THE PARASITE.

You were ten minutes late this morning,
Starting your daily stints,
And as far as you dared DO 1t,
You've been lettering ever since.
Looking out of the window,
With a fixed and dopy eye.
AS still as a wooden Indian.
Watching the folks go by.
Getting a sneak at the paper,
Or taking a visiting walk
Hindering the other workers
With your cheap. time killing talk.
The sneak thief does his business
In q slightly different way
But you steal timc on an average
AZ much as two hours a day.
II you have a conscience In you.
The thing must certainly burn,
For you're taking good money each time
you're paid.
That you certainly did not earn.
