E, HOTELS IN VERMONTiS LAKE
COTrNTY

Another private residence in the lake
county of Grand Isle is to be turned
into hotel This splendid region of
Vermont is coming into its own appar-
emily Some day the shores of the is
lands will be dotted with large hostelries
and the buildings will be filled through
each summer month because Grand Isle
is easily accessible from the large cities
of the north west and south and because
the attractions of the region are particu-
larly appealing. We confidently believe
there is great future for the upper re-
gion of Lake Champlain and that it is
sure to come just as soon as a sufficient
number Of good hotels shall have been
constructed to care for the great many
people who desire to spend their sum
mers where the combination of a large
body of water and mountain views is re-
markable The place combines, too, al
most all the other natural attractions OF
a satisfactory summer resort; and TO it
can be added many of those artificial at
fractions which go to make a summers
stay enjoyable. In spite of those advan-
tages, the growth of the hotels has been
remarkably slow, due perhaps to the lack
of desirable publicity.

Is ProutY Out of II?

The Prouty movement, which does not
seem to have been making much head
way lately, will not be helped by the
report which comes from the Progress
sive conference at Brattleboro. Accord
ing to this report, letter was read at
the conference from Mr.. Prouty in which
he said that he did not desire the in
dorsement of his candidacy by any party.
This is rather disconcerting TO the sup
porters OF the Newport man, whether
Progressives, Republicans or non-parti-
sans, and naturally would cause them
to ask where they are at.
In the meantime, the Dillingham; move
ment is gaining strength. The senator
has always been popular man. The
resentment which was felt over his vote
on the Lorimer case is lessening, as men
come to believe that his course was die
tated by no other considerations than an
absolute belief that on the evidence the
Illinois man ought not to be unseated.
On the theory that long service in Con-
gress makes a man better fitted to deal
with legislation, Mr.. Dillingham; is en-
titled to reelection.
A curious thing in connection with
the Prouty letter to the Progressives
was the little interest shown in it by
the Progressive leaders. DIR. jackson,
chairman of the state committee, said
there was nothing to the letter." Judge
Gibson was unable to remember its ex-
act language" but "his impression was
etc. j. c. Jones OF Rutland, Bull Moose
leader in the Marble city, said at was
not regarded as especially important"
G. II. Thompson was more definite. He
told the Montpelier Argus that "the inn
portsnt announcement" at the meeting
was that Mr.. Prouty. in letter writ
ten to DR.. H. Nelson jackson. stated
that he would not be a candidate for
the United States Senate and reatirmed

CULTIvATING THE CULTIvAToR
HABIT
JOHN ASHLEY

There is no agricultural implement of
greater usefulness than the cultivator
and yet, perhaps, none whose value is
less fully appreciated. To the unobserv.
ing eye the thought of cultivating crop
after each rain seems an absurdity, but
little investigation shows the doubling
Thomases the convincing need OF such a
thing.
In the spring, when the rainfall is
plentiful, the soil near the surface is
filled with sufficient moisture for the
growing crops, but as soon as a dry time
comes the sun absorbs all the moisture
in the upper strata of soil and plants
roots have to go farther down in search
of water. Nature, however, being re-
sourceful has so ordered things that
there is capillary action going on all
the time in the soil. To illustrate: When
it rains the water soaks down into the
soil until it reaches what is commonly
known as the water table, where it is
stored for future use, and when the dry
weather comes the sun causes an evap-
oration TO take place near the surface,
which draws up stored water through
little tubes formed in the soil, analogous
TO the way in which the scalp supplies
food to the hair through little tubes,
which may be seen with a powerful
magnifying glass. This process in the
ground is known as capillary attraction.
Conserving the Moisture
Now, if the surface of the soil is not
constantly stirred, so as to break the
capillary tubes, all the moisture escapes,
in consequence of which the crops suffer,
which is one of the important reasons
why crops should be cultivated after
every rainfall and during dry weather.
Another reason for frequent cultivation
is the destruction of weeds. These pests
are yoracious eaters and "hard drink
ers," the loss of water on account of
them being more serious even than the
loss of plant food The rule, both in the
garden and with the field crops, should
be frequent shallow cultivation. There
are many instances on record where the
yield of crops has been increased nearly
80 per cent. by the thorough and con-
slant use of the cultivator.
There are many makes of cultiyators,
some built especially for certain crops,
like the two-row corn cultivator or the
beet cultivator, etc. then there IS the
one-horse "all round" cultivator.
The better ones have, besides the reg
ular set of cultivator teeth. extra imple-
ments, such as small plows, hoes and
Killers that go with them, thereby great
~ enhancing their value and usefulness.

THE ABILITY TO SWIM.

The ability to swim saved at least
one little girl in the recent catastrophe
when two large vessels collided during a
fog; and most likely a similar ability
helped to save scores more of the passen-
gers and crew of the i'll fated Empress
of Ireland, who were able to keep afoat
thereby until the rescuing boats arrived.
Possibly not more than one person in a
hundred, perhaps a thousand, will ever
be placed in a like position where the
knowledge of how to swim will be eff
cscious in warding off death but in the
comparatively few instances where the
ability is brought to bear the results
acquire the ability. In this instances
the little girl who was saved padded
about the scene of the disaster until
she was picked up, not minding the ex-
perience much except for the exposure to
the cold water and, later, telling her
story in a collected manner and being
one OF the least perturbed OF all those
who were rescued. The girl was taught
to swim at the Canadian schooI-college,
she called it--where she was pupil,
that art apparently being one OF the fea-
ture courses of the curriculum. And a
good course it is, too. The sense of
knowing what to do when thrust into
deep water is one Of the most valuable
one; and in many places its value is rec
ognized to the extent that ability to
swim is becoming compulsory among
boys and girls. The experience of the
passengers and crew of the Empress OF
Ireland is likely to accentuate the de-
mand, as it should.

This leaves the Progressives without

Fletcher f-Vergennes Enterprise.
A water service is essential to urban
communities for the preservation of
health, for personal comfort and enjoy
ment, and for the protection of property
against fire. To serve all these purposes
it must be continuously abundant and
under the requisite pressure. Waste is
a foe to these vital conditions and the
water meter is the corrective agent that
renders cities immune.
Every city should own its water plant
and it should sell water to consumers
by measure. 1t should sell at actual
cost, or even at less, and it should
esta blish a minimum yearly, semi-annual
or quarterly charge for each connection
The greatest problem that confronts
the management of the water depart
ments of municipalities to-day is the OBJ
tanning of a sufficient quantity of whole
some water to meet the demand. While
the ablest engineering skill is secured
to devise plans whereby the best results
can be obtained for the least expend-
ture in securing such supply, yet it
has come to point where millions of
dollars are being expended to accomplish
this and at a cost, let it be what it may.
In fact as between the cost and potable
supply, the cost has gotten to be a Sec
ondary consideration. The inhabitants
OF our cities expect and will demand
sufficient water for their wants and in
as high a state of purity as is possible
to be had. If the supply from one source
should fail, fall short or be contaminat-
ed, another must be secured regardless
of the expense A city's very existence
depends upon its water supply; no de-
partment OF any city has the responsible
ity resting upon it as has that in charge
of its water. Those not directly con-
nected with or concerned in the manage
ment of water departments or companies
cannot imagine the vigilance and atten.
ton necessary to maintain a proper sup
ply to keep pace with the rapid growth
OF our larger cities. 1t is then of the
utmost Importance to husband the wa
ter by preventing waste. Water unnec-
essarily let run is wilful waste Where
there is no curb or restriction on serv-
ice, one fixture out OF order, or one waste
full consumer, may let enough water flow
TO waste to supply 10 families. In my
experience in water-works management
/ have found no basis on which an esti-
mate can be made as to how much wa
ter consumer uses, that would do jus.
tice to the department or the consumer.
The only course open, then, is the water
meter to which no possible objection can
be offered.-Water and Gas Review.
