That the Long Trail is beginning to
be appreciated by mountain lovers from
other states is indicated by the number
of pai ties which have followed the trail
during the month of September. A
party of ten from the Appalachian club
of Boston walked from Killington to
Lincoln, and climbed Cancels Hump.
A party of five from West Roxbury,
Mass, followed the trail from Mansfield
to Bread Loaf. Other parties from
Providence, r. l., Worcester, Mass.
Marlboro, Mass, Stamford, Conn, and
New York city covered parts of the
40 miles of the trail. There is an in
creasing interest among the people of
Vermont in the Green Mountain
club and its work. Twenty members
who attended the annual meeting of the
club at Brandon climbed Mount Moosa-
lamoo in June. There was a party of
forty on Cancels Hump on Labor Day.
Green Mountain day was celebrated
by an excursion up Killington Peak of a
party of fifty made up of members of

ment as to speed, but must cover not
less than four or more than six miles
an hour
The finish of the endurance ride at
tracted much attention. 1t was not
spectacular, but the fact that the
horses had been driven 154 miles was
sufficient to interest large number.
The ride was the first of its kind ever
held this side of the Mississippi. Army
officers and the militia officers of sew
eral States were on hand to see the
outcome. Gen. A. l.. Mills of the
United States army came from Wash

ployed by the r. H. White Company of
Boston, was fatally injured tonight in
West Gloucester by an automobile oper-

EertiIize Your Orchard.

BANANAS,

Notwithstanding the fact that Ameri-
cans consume more bananas than any
other kind OF fruit, the majority know
very little as to their origin or culture.
Three billion. or 100000 tons, of
bananas were consumed in the United
States last year. and most of this vast
quantity was produced on the fertile
river bottoms of Central America and
In Cuba, Jamaica and other West In
dian islands Originally the banana
grew wild and possessed seeds and
was much smaller than the fruit Of
modern plantation. The banana tree.
SO called. which often grows to a
height Of thirty to forty feet. Is really
not a tree at all, but a plant, which
dies down to the roots every year. Its
nearest relative familiar in America is
the Gamma. Banana plantations usual
ly comprise 5000 acres or more. and
bringing one up to the point Of bear
ing a carload Of fruit requires an out
lay of from S5OO.000 to $4,000. When
the tract for the banana plantation is
cleared of native timber the pieces of
banana root, each containing an eye"
are planted from fifteen to twenty feet
apart each way. An old plant usually
furnishes three eyes. The plant bears
in from ten to twelve months after
planting. The cutting of the punches
goes on throughout the year, SO that
the harvesting is Il continuous opera
ton. AS soon as the fruit is cut it Is
transported 70 the coast and put
aboard vessels equipped with refrig-
orators and carried to its destinations

union before the bank directors.
The Socialists took his dismissal as
blow at the legal right Of free assem-

withdrawal of trade union funds unless
the bank gave satisfaction.
The bank Immediately sent a circular
letter to all employees, saying that there
was no intention TO encroach on the
right of assembly or to influence pollti-
cal opinions: but when meeting was
arranged between the union officials
and the directors Of the bank the
directors referred the union to their
letter and refused further discussion.
The Socialists then ordered all the
trade union funds withdrawn from
banks that would not give written as
surance to the employees OF their rights

would not be encroached on. Three
