He accepted an amendment by Senator
Smith of Georgia, Tor submission of
names of manufacturers who call uoon
minority members of the committee and
another by Senator Reed for making pub
lice a record of manufacturers who ap-
pealed to the finance committee when the
Dingley and Payne .Aldrieh bills were ur-

immediate publication of all briefs fled
with the finance committee. Thereupon
Senator Simmons moved that the whole
matter be referred u the finance commit
tee and the motion vas carried AZ to %.
Senator Newlands addressed the Senate
at length on his tariff programme pro-
posed at the opening Of the extra session,
which would provide for gradual reduc-
ton of the tariff, and for an investiga-
ton into the wisdom of creating a ia iff
advisory commission.
II hope that this opportunity-the first
the democratic party has had in many
years-of basing action upon intelligent
information instead Of mere juggling ad-
justments between Industries and Sec
tions, will not be lost he said.
Protest Against Rate
Representatives of cotton knit goods
manufactures appeared before Senator
Johnson's subcommittee today, protesting
against the rate of 80 per cent ad valorem
proposed on their wares in the Underwood
bill They maintained that this rate was
nuot protective and. that it would let IN
goods of foreign manufacture.
That's what we are looking for" said
Senator Hughes. Tie government will
get some revenue and the people will get
lower prices"
Senator Stones subcommittee was en-
gagged in consideration of the metal
schedule. Though Senator Stone denied
reports that the committee had made gem
eral reductions froal the Underwood
rates, some items have been reduced One
of these is said to be structural steel
which the bill as it passed the House
placed 70 per cent.
Senator Kenyon of Iowa has introduced
an amendment to put aluminium on the
free list. This is in Keeping with his pro-
posal to put all products of monopolies
on the free list
Senator Reed severely criticised the re-
pubicans for having On the employ Of
the HnanCe committee curing cOnSluera-
ton of tariff bills men who were inter-
ested in the National Association Of
Wooden Manufacturers, and he read from
letters of s. N. d. North, who was sec
retary OF the National Woolen Manufac-
turers association, who admitted serving
as a clerk to the finance subcommittee
when tariff bills were up.
When the democrats .et through with
this bill, said Senator Reed, it may con-
tain some mistakes. but it will contain
no jokers by paid employees of the wooden
trust or other manufacturing interests.

RECENT WEDDINGS


Dwight w. Harris of the Mer-
chants National bank and Miss
Florence M. Bean were quietly mar
ried Wednesday noon at the home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs
D. d. Bean. The house was prettily
decorated for the occasion with pink
and white carnations and a company
of about 35 relatives witnessed the
ceremony, which was performed by
Rev. Peter Black, using two rings
Miss Elsye Sargent played the we'd
ding march and the bride was at
tended by Miss Margaret Harris of
Stowe, the groom's sister, as brides
maid. The bride wore her travelling
suit of copenhagen blue and car
ried a bouquet of white sweet peas.
Miss Harris wore white and carried
pink sweet peas. Raeburn Mcmahon
of Stowe was best man. After the
ceremony refreshments were served
in the dining room where the table
was decorated with pink and white
carnations and smilax. Mrs. Maui
rice Porter and Miss Elsye Sargent
cut the ice cream and Misses Lola
French and Helen Roberts waited
on the guests. Among the out of
town guests were the brides broth
er, Frank D. Bean of Boston, the
groom's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w.
F. Harris of Stowe, a college friend
of the groom, Stafford Boardman of
Burlington, the brides aunt, Mrs.
S. C. Mcclellan of Barton, and Mr..
and Mrs w. H. Ford of Springfield,
Mass. Mr.. and Mrs. Harris received
many beautiful gifts including con-
siderable money. The fellow en-
ployes of the bride at the Towle
Maple Products Co. gave them sill
yer spoons, in two sizes. Mrs Har-
ris will remain with the Towle
Maple Products Co. for the present.
They took the afternoon train for a
short trip to Boston, returning
Monday and will make their home
with Mr.. and Mrs. Bean on Central
street.

once furnished nearly all of the
meat and most of the wool used in
the United States, today New Eng
land gets fve-sixths of it's meat
elsewhere and all of its wool from
other states and foreign countries.
But yet more interesting in his
declaration that the ranges in Wy
oming and Montana cannot compare
with the unused ranges in Vermont
and New Hampshire. In this con-
nection he says:
For over a hundred years sheep
and cattle survived and that coun-
try would today be producing great
quantities of wool and an immense
amount of beef if it were in the
hands of western. men, who would
see that the right kind of grass
was grown. In five years the great
ranges of those states could with
proper attention greatly reduce
the price of meat and wool"
While we have been building up
the manufactures of New England
we have been permitting its agri-
cultural and stock-raising to fall
to the very minimum. For far too
many years these six good old states
have rested under the ban of being
lands of abandoned farms, rocky
lodges and hillsides on which moth
ing but wild grass and brush will
grow. Let's set about to bring
about renaissance of New England
agriculture and stock-raising. Let
US make an effort to put both
these branches of industry some
where on a par with that of man
ufacturing and others that have
contributed to New England great
ness.
In recent years we have come to
know that the worn out farm is only
a theory. That in reality under the
proper kind of treatment the old
New England farm can be made a
moneymaker. An authority recent
ly told the writer that some of the
best farming land in the country is
right in the vicinity of Hartford and
yet aspiring young people wander
far afield to find much worse.

Preserve the Arbutus

This is the season when trailing
arbutus is at it's best. Boys and
girls and grown up people as well
should remember that in picking
it they should be careful not to pull
up the roots. Arbutus has become
extinct in some sections of Connect
icut and Massachusetts where it was
once common, because of the habit
of pulling it up by the roots. The
roots of arbutus do not penetrate
the ground very deeply and if care
is not taken it comes up roots and
all. 1t is one of the choicest of
wild flowers and one that cannot be
successfully grown artifcially. All
who love it should aid in its preser-
vation.-[ Bennington Banner.

matter of fruit culture. Now
comes this man who has spent years
in the cattle and sheep business in

abandoned farms and convert them

try to make the prediction come
somewhere near true by reverting
to cattle raising on whatever scale
we may and to go into general farm
ing as fully as we can. That will
