FAMILY FRUIT GARDEN
HAVE A FEW SELECTED vARiE-

Dwarfs Are Excellent, as They Re-

and Come Into Bearing the
Third or Fourth Year.

Fruit for the family table through
the growing season and a surplus to
sell need not mean large orchard, but
only few well selected varieties prop

dwarfs are excellent, as they require
less room than the standards and come
into bearing the third or fourth year
and are easily pruned and sprayed
The trees should be set eight feet
apart, and eight trees will provide fruit
from June to November. The variety
will depend on the latitude and alti-
tude. The United States governments

very complete list.
What to Plant.
Four sweet cherry trees and one
sour one will supply enough fruit for

ber), Vicar OF WINFIELD (winter).
Plums may be grown in the poultry
yard and the garden space saved for
other fruit. Grapes are always well

lowing will provide a good supply:

A QUESTION OF EMBARRASSING
GATES,

"For if The Times is right in letting
the inference be made that Mr.. Gates is
receptive candidate, Mr.. Gates is placed
in that undesirable position of attempt
ing to obtain bv stealth what he openly
declared he did not want and would not
90 after. II is most unfavorable light
in which The Times, all unwittingly
without doubt, is presenting Mr.. Gates
to a large number of his friends.-St,
Adams Messenger Aug. 81.
The above is an excerpt from an edi-
torial, the whole of which appears in
another column in to-day's Times. 1t,
as well as the remainder of the article,
shows marked solieitude for the repu-
tation of man who needs no such de-
tense in the minds of his fellow-citizens
throughout all Vermont. One and all
know Mr.. Gates to be an honorable,
straight going man who abhors dissimu-
lation and hypocrisy, who desires to do
his duty without being accused of using
his Office TO the building up of political
machine and who is mindful of the OBJ
legation which as apt to devolve upon
each individual citizen. The Times trusts
that it has not placed Mr.. Gates in an
embarrassing situation, and it considers
that it has not done so. On the con-
trary, we think that If Mfr. Gates has
been placed in an embarrassing position
it has been done by those who may have
attempted to force an unqualified asser-
ton from him that he would not accept
the Republican nomination should the
state convention tender it to him. In
reply to that attempt Mr.. Gates made
it perfectly plain that he was not a
candidate. However, that declaration
does not prevent the Republican citizens
of Vermont from taking their politics
into their own hands and calling Mr..
Gates. We await such result with con-
siderable anticipation.

European war when dirigible balloon
sailed over the city of Antwerp and be-
gan dropping bombs into the city with
| the evident purpose of destroying the
palace occupied by the royal family
since their arrival there from Brussels.
Many bombs were dropped, edoing great
damage to buildings and causing loss
of life and in a considerable number of
persons before the balloon was brought
down by the fire directed at il from
the guns mounted in the city. 1t was
proof positive that the armed dirigible
balloon, as well as perhaps the weapon
carrying aeroplane is bound to play an
important part in the conduct of future
wars, To be sure, the balloon and the
aeroplane are likely to be destroyed and
the occupants of them killed; but be-
| fore that could be accomplished the war
| vessels Of the air will have done their
work in a most effective manner by set
ting fire to buildings, blowing up other
buildings and killing the human ants
who might happen to be within range
of the bombs. 1t is most novel form
of fighting but it is likely to be perfect
ed considerably as the result of the ex-
periments conducted during the present
war. That there are great possibilities
for destruction is borne out by the re-
! suit of single attack on the city OF
Antwerp. Indeed, such form of attack
| is likely to be relied upon by Germany
az one of the most feasible methods OF
attack on the British Isles which are
now, and probably always will be, pro-
tected by an ample feet to prevent the
landing of invading forces by water.
Fooled by the greatest sea defense In
| the world, the Germans viii turn to air
vessels to harrass the people OF the tight
/ little islands. Possibly it is not too
much to expect that before the close OF
this great war German dirigibles and
aeroplanes will be flying over the islands
and dropping their bombs into the city
| OF London itself. The boldness of the
Germans in their land movements indi-
Gates that the kaiser's offensive will stop
at nothing in the effort to cripple and
barrass the foe. It would be well for
Great Britain to hasten its coast defenses
against the invader from the air.

WAsATUBs FOR THE PUBLIC
Matter in Which American Cities Are
Behind Those of Various
Foreign Countries.

Facilities for washing clothes are de.
cidedly meager In the tenement dis.
tricts of large cities. The establish.
ment of public laundries or wash
houses fashioned after the plan Of
those long in use in foreign cities Is a
present demand. There are about fif-
teen of these institutions in America,
five of which are in Baltimore. Other
cities which have found an urgent de-
mand for them are Philadelphia, Buff
falo and Elmira Recently a commit
tee made an investigation of the ne.
cessity for washhorses in New York,
and the cost of their equipment, op-
GRAFTON, and so forth. The investiga-
tion covered population of about
four hundred thousand In the poorer
sections of New York. and 1t was found
that from 30 to as per cent of the fami-
lies were without any washing facili-
ties in the home, while no hot water
except that heated in the apartment is
provided in from 20 to 95 per cent of
the houses. Inquiry among 10000 bath
ers at one of the municipal baths
showed that the women were enthusi.
astically In favor of the establishment
Of public washhouses, and many Of
the men promised to make use of such
facilities. In Baltimore and Phila-
delphia special days are set aside for
men. The public washhouse finds its
chief justification in the fact that 1t
gives to the people an opportunity to
appreciate the value to health and de-
cency of being physically clean. Phys
ical cleanliness enhances moral and
spiritual tone, and leads to demand
for better housing and better house
hold equipment, which in turn mako
for better health and for decency.
