| In certain distinct sense town is q
business proposition and venture, Some
towns grow faster and are more pros
porous than Others. Sometimes the
cause of this is some fortuitous circum-
stance or circumstances, but in the ma
iority of instances the cause will be
found in superiority of management
and an alert and intelligent utilization
! of opportunity. Again, every resident is
Il stoekholder in his home town as a
business undertaking, or as a home,
hence it is for him TO exert every effort
and TO employ every means for its fur
Their Improvement and development.
The merchants and the manufacturers
are prompt to enlarge their sales and
expand the products of their plants. So
likewise should every resident improve
the opportunity to upbuild the town in
which he lives, and bring about condi-
tons that will cause an appreciation of
realty valuations This does not mean
that mere population in every case
measures the real worth of town, but
il does mean that the town which is not
of sufficient size to provide certain cor
porate advantages, such as high school
by way of illustration, is not an ideal
home for each and all A town of 500
of 600 people cannot maintain high
school, but a town of 1900 population
can, and the town of the last named
size can easily preserve and retain its
every rural characteristics.
The question then is, how to convert
the town of 500 population into one of
300. In way the question is one diff
cult to solve and again il is decidedly
easy OF solution for there is many a
town in the country at large that win
make such gain in this single year,
but none of them will be in Vermont
But Vermont is coming into its own,
and to accelerate this movement every
citizen should see to IT, Every resident
of White River Junction should devote
portion of his time in helping to make
the village and its environs the better
known. To double the population of
White River Junction is to quadruple its
realty valuation. Never mind if there
are persons in and features of White

stop to tell of it, but NOW your lawn

chicagO's Woman Judge.

In the about People" Department of
the September Woman's Home Com
panion appears short sketch of Miss
Mary NJ. Bartelme, who is a Judge in
the Juvenile court of Chicago.
Miss Bartelme was for Is years pub
lie guardian for the children of Cook
county. She was graduated from the
Northwest University Law school in
1894. Years ago at the suggestion of
Judge c. c. Kohlsaat she took charge of
some probate cases and in dealing with
questions relative TO the guardianship
of children showed such a degree Of
judgment and sympathy that the Judge
appointed her public guardian of Cook
county.
In this work she was the official moth
er to never less than 400 children at a
time, caring for their health. their edu-
cation and their finances. She has be-
come the child expert to whom divorce
court judges turn for advice as to the
disposition of court orphans.
Now, as Judge Bartelme, she deals
more like a sympathetic sister than
judge with the many young girls who
are brought before her, giving them,
whenever it seems possible, another
chance, either in new homes or in their
old homes on probation

WHAT VERMONT OFFERS IN
INDIAN SUMNER.


Late vacationists will read the follow
ing paragraph from the Boston Tran
script with not little feeling of salts
| faction:
Soon the mornings can be depended
upon for GOODNESS but not too much of
lit. They are bracing and snappy. Even
a touch OF frost upon the meadows gives
tonic air and presages a day in which
we want to be stirring The ozone is
active and it puts new vitality into the
blood. The naples are putting on their
Oriental attire, some in red and some in
flame. Even the repellent summer
swamp is transformed in piece Of ma
lures richest tapestry, while the for
ests proclaim one of the most magniti-
cent miracles of the changing seasons.
The artists know when to start for their
most effective work. The poets feel
more like singing under the influence
Of these inspiring conditions. Perhaps
there would be more artists and more
poets were the vacation season more
generally prolonged into early autumn.
1t might be added for the benefit Of
those not acquainted with the fact that
Vermont offers the inducements men
toned by the contemporary and many
more besides. Beautiful as is the YER
mont summer, it is not 50 charming as
is the Vermont Indian summer with its
wealth of attractions Of nature and its
re-invigorated life after season Of
enuui and lack Of energy yacationists
who have postponed coming to Vermont

ored part of the world and which il
fully as bad as it cares to experience.
The occasional showers have helped a
lot in some localities much more in
the vicinity OF Boston, for example,
than in most places in New England
but the total rainfall this summer is
nevertheless so far below normal that
unless there are frequent and eopious
rains during the remaining ten days OF
August the summer will rank as the
dryest that Massachusetts at least, and
perhaps New England as a whole, has
known since the weather bureau began
to keep it's records forty years ago.
The effects bring little discomfort or
direct loss to most city dwellers, but in
the country districts, particularly in
southern New England, il has become a
serious matter. The hay crop was less
damaged than corn, fruit and garden
truck win be. There are many fields
where the grass roots are literally
burned, many pastures that offer little
pasturage and many wells and springs
that are dry. The water supply is bad
~ crippled in some communities. The
dangers OF forest fires and all other fires
are especially acute. The dust rises In
great clouds from the highways. The
rivers and lakes are far below their
usual banks.
May the rain come soon. In the
long run the balance is maintained and
the average precipitation can be count
ed on. The temporary shortage is a
general inconvenience and source of
loss in many quarters-but soon the
public is likely to be kicking about the
exceptionally wet fall In the mean
time. be saving of water where the
supply is short, use special safeguards
against forest fires and do not get the
idea that the seasons are changing or
that the ways OF nature are not as they
were in the good old times. Boston

CAUSE BIC BREAK
Good Map and Large Crop Esti-
mate Cause Heavy Liquidation.
Bulls Still Confident.

NEW YORK, Oct. Cuisines at the
opening of the cotton market to-day
was lctive and the market was weak at
a net decline of 3 to 16 points from the
closing quotations of Saturday. One
Of the chief factors responsible for the
break was the disappearance OF the
rainstorm in the southwest, notably in
Texas. The low barometer in the south
west was still located over Kansas.
Naturally the trade laid more stress on
the weather conditions tnan anything
else.
In addition to this, Habersham King
was reported to be out with a crop eSti-
mate of Is, $50, 900 bales. He further
states that frost would not reduce the
output per cent because of the crop
being an early one. This helped the
bearish movement along.
On the decline there was good buying,
which steadied the market little after
the call and the market rallied to Z
points from the opening range.
The Liverpool market was steady at
the outset, but eased in sympathy with
our decline. This, coupled with further
favorable weather conditions, encour-
aged active selling by Wall street, Liv-
erpool and operators who have bulled
the market in the recent past Some
OF the largest spot interests were among
the selling crowd This class of sell
ing depressed October to 1872, Deem
Der TO 1888, January to 1888 and March
to 1896. The entire list suffered a net
decline Of 90 to 2S points from the pre-
vious close within the first hour.
On the other hand, a good bit of buy
ing by spot houses and scattered shorts
caused a slow advance Of Z TO 10 points
from the low point during the late fore
noon, but the selling continued general.
At the close the market was quiet
with prices showing irregularity being
2h off to 3 points higher than the final
quotations of Saturday

COTTON GOSSIP

J. B. Turner wires from Memphis:
Telegraphic reports from Texas cover
ing developments of the week in cot
ton fields up to to-day Indicate a heavy
loss in quantity as well as in grade of
staple. Loss is not heavy north of Dali
las. but in central and in southern ter
ritory. particularly southeast of Austin,
the damage has been great Cores
pondents estimates running 10 to 80 per
cent destroyed by overfiows on low
lands and beating out on the ground.
II the weather becomes speedily
bright and remains so for some time
part of this loss will be recovered and
the estimates may be materially re-
duced. There is considerable sprOuting
in the boil and the out-turn from this
cotton after 1t is picked will not be
so large, as had 1t been gathered un-
der normal conditions. In some sec
tons, as around Cuero, many fields are
still under water Damage to grade
mas been very heavy, and ii is said
that most of the cotton to come forward
Will not be better than low middlfng.
1t is impossible to state what definite
number of bales have been lost, be-
cause nearly all cotton was open. Con-
ditlons favorable; no rain damage eX-
listed, but in some localities a consid-
cradle part of the crop has been picked,
which fact reduces the possible loss to
an extent Further rains would be dis
tinctly unfavorable."

Indications point to an early re-

rom the foot of Spring street to a

that the preliminary arrangements
are now being made in a quiet way.
John D. Babbage, another well-known

Spring street property owners would
soon organize to work for the i'm

Mr. Babbage, would serve a large
