den of comment was that there was a

summer hotels which Vermont now
needs to help bring host of summer
visitors to the Green mountains. The
accepted explanation of the absence
of host of visitors to this scene of
surprising grandeur and impressiveness
was that the present great tourist
world had not yet heard of this and
other similar beauty spots, which add
grand scenic attactions to bracing
atmosphere and refreshing breezes.-

cause it is so difficult to take them

their larger size makes them more diff

they remain full of dust and dirt which
flies into the air when they are walked

your hair. The cause of dandruff lies
not in the hair, but on the scalp and
in the hair roots. and just as daily you
use germical tooth powder or cream
to cleanse your teeth ofgerms, 90 you
should use Partisan Sage twice daily

FIRST WAR NEWS.
Daily Paper Six Months for 81.

The Monitor can get you a daily
paper giving all the latest, best and
most authentic war news. six months
for 81. Having made special arrange
ments with the Boston Record we are
authorized to take subscriptions at
present for 81 year or six months for
81. This is the greatest bargain in
daily paper ever offered. The Record
is good paper and being an evening
paper reaches you on the rural route
the morning after it is printed. And
the evening paper is noticeable in it's
early war news. An evening paper is
far ahead of morning paper on the
news of the great European war be-
cause 5 o'clock in Boston is 10 O'Clock
at night in London and nearly mid
night in the heart of the war district.
Wherefore, the news of daylight-the
most important of all-comes in the
afternoon press and is repeated in the
morning papers. So the lead of the
evening paper is very marked in this
war-probably the greatest the world
has ever seen. You ought to keel
posted.
Take advantage of this offer while il
asts. Clip this adv, fill in below, pir
dollar bill to it and mail. Do i,
NOW. Well do the rest. and you'll
get daily with all the war news
every morning for six months.

Editor Stone of the Springfield Re
porter should have heard all that Con-
gresham Greene said at the Press
association banquet before disagreeing
entirely with him in his expressed
belief that Vermont newspapers should
discuss national affairs more than now
He said frankly that his idea on the
subject had changed and that he was
now looking at the matter from a
different angle. His contention was
that Vermont newspapers discussed
state matters so exclusively that
there was no means Of learning where
Vermont as unit stood in regard TO
national questions He said it was
embarrassing. and not alone that, bat
ofttimes distinct disadvantage to the
state that no consensus of opinion
from the state press was available as
is the case in most states. The nation
depends so largely upon the collective
opinion of the press of different sec
tons of the country that it left sort of
a blank or void when it comes to get
ting Vermont's opinion. In short
Greene's advice was not SO much to
discuss Vermont's affairs less but to
study and discuss national affairs
more

W|THER TIP BEGINS
ON GRAPEFRUIT.

During the last few days specimens
of grapefruit infested with wither
tip fungus have been coming into
the laboratories of the Experiment
Station. The fruit is marked by
dark sunken spots, accompanied by
cumming and by areas of gum in
filtrated tissue.
The same fungus works on the
tree and branches. 1t often kills
young twig growth, but this is con-
sidered the least destructive of its
work. The active form attacks
weakened branches and trees. 1t
may kill a tree which is not thrifty
Ordinarily when it affects the twigs
lit goes no farther, but once in a
weakened branch it will grow until
it strikes tissue strong and vigorous
enough to resist it.
It's presence in the branches of the
tree is known by yellowing of the
foliage followed by willing anc
death. This particular yellowing
should not be confused, says B. F
Floyd of the University of Florida
Experiment Station, with yellowing
due to other causes. Trees otter
turn yellow from nitrogen starvation
and branches may be affected by
bearing an exceptionally heavy fruit
crop.
The best remedy in combating
wither tip fungus is to prune off al
affected parts. AS soon as th'
grower is sure that branch is in
tested, he should take off thos'
branches. The fungus or the spore
