NEW ENGLAND UNITED IN
BANKING.

The apportionment of the entire New
England territory to the regional reserve
bank at Boston, under the new system,
will perhaps be a disappointment to
some banks which are located in the
western part of Connecticut and possibly
some in the western part Of Vermont
because those sections are perhaps more
closely allied with New, York business
and banking interests than with New
England's largest city in eastern Mas.
sachusetts. But all other parts Of Yer.
mont and Connecticut are closely allied
with Boston and it was natural that
those parts should be included in tie
membership of the Boston reserve bank
and it would not have been natural to
destroy the solidarity OF the New Eng
land states by cutting into the geograph-
zeal boundaries of the entire region. The
inclusion of the western portions of Con-
necticut and Vermont with New Eng
land may cause some arrangements Of
business and commercial alliance hit it
will result in no marked hardship or
handicap to those sections that are thus
compelled to change their business and
banking center.

In little campaign TO clear itself Of
debt, the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation of Montpelier was entirely sue
cessful and the association and its
friends are to be congratulated that the
work of the association can be continued
without the handicap Of financial obliga-
tons. There is no doubt that the Y. NJ.
c. A. with its gymnasium fills an i'm
portant place in the life of Montpelier,
and to be deprived of the advantages
therein provided would be serious loss
to the young men and boys of the neigh
boring city. The people can well afford
to go down into their pockets now and
then to assist in supporting the work of
the association, just as they have just
done in quiet little campaign.

Visitors to the State House at Mont
pelier during the past year came from
"a states and many foreign countries,
as indicated by the register kept for
the use of the visitors. The fact of
such wide area of registration shows
that Vermont is well favored by tourists
already and gives earnest of what may
be expected under the influence of the
growing reputation of the Green Noun
tain state as a pleasant summer resort.
We may confidently look to see the an
nual visitation doubled in number during
the next decade.

Transcript.
Who told you? It's wrong anyway.
The season promises to be long and UNI

furnish more of the delicious product for
the world market than in many years.
Already the yield has been very satifac-

rather favorable for more large runs of
