1T is to be noted that we are
having very peculiar winter.
The Chinook and southern breezes
have had the effect of completely
dissolving what little snow we had
a week ago and raising the water
long shore, to such an extent that
freighting across the river by team
is about abandoned. New air
holes have also been breaking out,
making night-walking by pedes-
drians o dark nights rather dan
serous, too. Unless severe wealth
er comes soon, ice for storage here
will not be over eight or ten inches
thick.

GOOD TINE PROMISED FOR YER
MONT HOTELS.

Good times ahead for Vermont note
keepers is indicated by the statement
that single hotel in Burlington has Sc
cured bookings which will bring over
one thousand people. And il these are
already the known prospects, what OF
the unknown? The latter is bound 10
be large, because the average person
does not plan so far ahead for accom-
modations in the hotels which cater to
all classes of business, although persons
who desire accommodation in summer
hotels" are required to be early in or
der to get places. Neither. do parties
touring by automobile make bookings
until Immediately prior to their intend
ed arrival at hotel; and large part
of Vermont's summer visitor business is
included in this latter class. Therefore,
all things considered, the coming sum-
mer should mean a large increase in
business for Vermont hotels, especially
since the climatic conditions promise to
be more conducive TO "summering" in
the country.

for the better in the modern fiction the

Then, having explained clearly the
false tests of the mod ern novel, DIR. Tup-
per described four stages of themes,
ranging from the improbable to the in
evitable; and next he applied the real
tests of fiction, laying great stress upon
the capacity of the characters to grow
in spiritual nature through the book,
or story, and demanding that the char
aeters be permitted to unfold them
selves without long and wearisome de-
scriptions at the outset, claiming that
the descriptions were unnecessary If the
characters were to be allowed to reveal
themselves, as they should. The speak
er closed with brief summarizing of
the qualities of standard fiction of mod
ern times.
Throughout the address of over an

PIONEER WOMEN IN OFFICE
HOLDING.

Two Rutland women have had the
hardihood to enter their names as can
didates for school commissioner in their
city and will go before the voters at
the coming March meeting asking for
support. 1t is rather novel for Vermont
politics, but though novel, not at all
unreasonable. Women holding property
on which they pay taxes long have
been entitled to vote on school mat
tiers under the Vermont statutes, and Il
few of them have exercised that priv
ilege, very few in comparison with the
number of women taxpayers. And, II
allowed to vote in school matters, why
Is it not just as logical that women tax
payers should become candidates for
those offices which have charge OF the
conduct of school matters? Perhaps the
reason why Vermont women have not
become candidates for school commits
sioner is that they have not realized
their opportunity. That is the only rea-
son apparent. But now that Rutland
women have become pioneers in the
movement, it is likely that women in
other cities and towns of the state will
make a similar essay. Undoubtedly,
there are women in every community
who would make strong officials in a
position of this sort.

man thereupon signed contract for
5000 apples for which he was to pay
fifteen cents each at Lebanon, the num-
Der being limited to make them suffi-
GENTLY exclusive.
Each apple was perfectly sound, of
high color and uniform shape. not less
than three and one half inches in di-

an inch larger. Each stem had at least
two perfect leaves attached and each
apple was packed in an attractive paste

their natural color, and conserving IN

wrapped in soft tissue paper to hold il

POSSIBILITIES OF THEATRE
PANICS.

Massachusetts has a law which pre-
vents two-night stands of amateur the
atricals, the performances being limited
to once in eight days. This law was
not passed to protect a long suffering
public, as might at once be inferred by
those who have witnessed certain crude
efforts, but rather to forfend the pos.
sibility of fire and panic in theatres,
according to the Greenfield Gazette,
which protests against the law. 1t looks
to us more like an effort to favor the
professional performances by eliminating
the amateur attempts as much as pos
sible. Anyway it is rather ridiculous
to assert that the danger of fire IS
greater on the second night of per-
Torrance than it is on the first night,
or that the panic hazard is increased
as the number of performances grows.
In respect to the latter, it seems rea
sonable to assume that the danger OF
panic is greater on a single-night stand
btOdhot VI tht VI VdNioHs
made necessary by the single opportu-
nifty TO witness the acting of local ia
vorites of the stage. Ii local sentiment
in Massachusetts, cities and towns is
patterned after the general run of hu-
man nature, theatre going audiences take
more interest in the stage work of their
friends who are local people than they
do of the strolling thespians, and they
turn out en- masse to give encourage
ment to the local amateurs. Now il this
encouragement is all to be compressed
into a single nights performance il
means that the capacity OF any thea
tire in the town must be taxed to its
extreme capacity, and the danger from
panic is increased many fold during
that single night; whereas if the ap-
pearsnee Of the amateur is extended
through two or more days, il thins
cut the audience at each performance
and renders a panic crush less likely. In
view Of these facts il seems like a |
foolish law which Massachusetts, has on
her statute books and which some Of
the newspapers like the Greenfield con
Temporary are striving 70 have repealed .

favorably located, die and drop off. An
attempt, often successful, to heal the
wound, takes place. The modern prac-
tice OF pruning is an attempt to assist
nature and to improve upon her crude
methods The objects OF pruning are
three in number. The primary one is
to reduce the struggle for existence
among the various parts of tree so
that the remaining portion may pro-
duce larger and better fruits. Pruning,
therefore, is thinning process, the bene-
fetal effect of which may be readily
demonstrated by the cutting out of about
half the brush from neglected apple
tree. The process includes the removal
Of dead or diseased parts as well as
super6uous living branches. The second
recognized object of pruning is to con-
troll and modify the shape OF trees. Prun-
ming, therefore, is a training process.
II commences when the tree is in the
nursery row and may continue through
out it's life.
Finally, pruning is practiced on ac-
count OF its effect upon the formation of
fruit buds and leaf buds. The physio
logical processes concerned in this are
not well understood, but it is well
known that pruning during the growing
season produces an entirely different Ell
feet from pruning during the dormant
season. A heavy pruning of the top
during the winter tends to produce wood,
because the same amount OF root energy
is concentrated on smaller top. The
pruning of the root has the opposite
effect, tending to lessen the production
of wood, because the same amount OF
top receives smaller supply Of the
stored.up energy of the roots and small
er supply of the soil water with it's
plant food constituents.

WASHINGTON PAGEANT.
M. S. Students Did Remarkably Well in
Presentation.

To large audience of Montpelier peo-
pie who witnessed the initial presenta-
ton of the Washington pageant by
students Of Montpelier seminary last
evening were added many from this
city. who were accommodated by special
car service. The pageant was given in
the seminary chapel and those who wit
messed it were unanimous in pronounc-
ing it success. Many who were pres
emit last night went to Montpelier this
afternoon to attend the second produc-
ton.
The Washington pageant is carried
through fourteen episodes in the history
of the colonies. In addition. there were
number of tableaux and selections
by an orchestra and chorus. The affair
was originated by the students of the
seminary and faculty and it is to their
credit thas the production was carried
through to finish without a hitch. The
eighth episode, entitled, "Mrs. Murray's
party" was presented by the seminary
students and high school talent COM
bined.
The stage investiture as well as the
costumery were of high order and the
particular taste involved in perfecting
this important phase of the pageant CON
tributed in no small measure to the sue
cess of the presentation. The light H.
Elimination effects were carefully ar
ranged to bring out the most in every
scene.
In the company there were over 100
people. most of whom were students Of
the seminary. 1t should be mentioned,
also. that the fourteen episodes were
written in their entirety by members
Of the senior and junior classes. While
a good many friends OF the school gave
generously OF their time and energy TO
the pageant. much OF the credit is due
to the participants and the following
members of the faculty: Professor Lewis
]. Hathaway. director Of music. Miss
Of the art department. Miss
Kimball and Miss Hamilton Of the En-
glish and elocution departments.
The second presentation Of the pag-
sant took place in the seminary chapel
this afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock.

Apples at Forty Cents Each.

Missouri apples were listed on the
menu cards of two or three exclusive
New York hotels the past winter at
forty cents each, which was about the
cost of half bhshel Of apples any
where in the open market. The differ

esclusiveness and profit, with little

thing unusual would have to be done
to get more than a living price for
his crop. He went to New York TO

exclusive offering would command high
prices, and suggested to some of the
men that they try a few
