HIGH COST OF WEDDINGS

courts in this hot weather period.
With Judge Kunkel fishing at Port

against a problem that puts a little
matter like the constitutionality of the
hard coal tax law in the primer class.
Miss Miriam Finn has asked him to
grant her $400 from her inheritance to
spend on wedding finery. The Judge
thinks half that sum enough He is
willing to let Miss Finn SHOW him."

tory of the people in their struggle for
freedom. through all its phases-com-
pulsory labor or slavery; serfdom and
feudalism; rise of the cities; trade de-
velopment crafts, wages. factories,
trades unionism, socialism, feminism
--as reflected in the works of histor-
ians. philosophers, novelists. econo-
mists, poets. of all ages and nations.
It's underlying principle is that prog

working through Evolution and Sug-

THE ADAMS FRUIT BELT

TIME Adams county fruit belt will
ship more than $500 cars of
apples, peaches and pears to
market this season.
Fifteen hundred cars strung out in
one line would make quite train
and their contents on one pile would
fill Market Square pretty nearly to the
house tops.
All of this fruit is grown in district
that but a few years ago was given
over to none too productive farms. To-
day land that sold for $13 an acre ten
years ago cannot be purchased for
S400 an acre and is yielding a return
of 20 per cent. year on the invest
ment. But these gold mines were not
developed over night. Neither are
they the products of chance. They are
the results of the toll and thought of
growers who at the beginning saw the
end in sight and the intermediate
difficulties standing between them and
their reward and who were willing to
wait through the years for the profits
they saw in their ventures. 1t takes
a hard-headed businessman. an expert
farmer and a Job for patience all
rolled into one to make a successful
fruit grower. The Adams county men
have succeeded, first, because they
have the soil and the climate, and
second, because they have the personal
qualifications noted.
And the industry is only in its in
fancy. Adams county apples are pre-
ferred to Oregon fruit wherever they
are sold. Their flavor is far superior
and where they have been raised un-
der favorable conditions they are al
most. if not quite. as large as the west
ern fruit Year by year the orchards
are growing until the time will come
when the Adams county belt will be-
one vast orchard and when other parts
of the State just as 'favorably located
will model orchards along the scien-
tihc lines that have made those in
Adams so successful.

The Vermont Local Option League

to fight the state wide prohibition

al campaign and using every proper
effort to retain upon the statute
books the present successful local OPP
ton law. The organization is head
ed by ]. M. Tyler of Brattleboro, for
mer Judge of the supreme court and
the Rutland Herald says that his
name as president is a guarantee of
good faith, because the temperance
principles of the great jurist are well
known to all Vermonters.
Setting forth in a statement to
the people of Vermont what it aims
to accomplish, the league fires the

paign that starts in today's Land

is given since local option went into
effect as a state law in 1908, there
by supplanting prohibition, which
had proved to be a failure and which
some honest though misguided tenn

mind fails to conceive a much fairer
place than is our state at this sea-
son of the year. We would not wish
to exchange the soft green turf,
starred with its wealth of dainty vio-
let's, for hard and glittering gold
pavements; the melody of full
throated birds in their almost divine
happiness at the nesting season ap-
peals to our limited senses fully as
much as would an angels harp; the
sheen of the beautiful lakes and riv-

variegated hues of the new-grown
foliage must surely vie with the crys-
tai waters seen by John in his won
derful vision. To those who cannot
appreciate the beauties of the great

has a full grown cotton plant in
bloom with one seed pod maturing.
The plant is a typical mallow, Cosy
plum herbaceum, (Linn.). The
flower is pure white with an involu-
ere of three large heart shaped
bracts. The specimen also has grow
ing buds and seed pods in different
stages. The latter, called the cotton
boil is of especial interest as from it
is derived the cotton of commerce. |
The cotton boil is globular in form
and comprises 3-5 divisions or car
pels. Each contains one seed wrap |
ped in feecy white cotton. This is
a valuable addition to our cotton ex-
hibit and would repay a visitor who |
has never seen it.

lax conditions prevailing, that should
not initiate against local option, but
rather against the authorities fol
not seeing that the law is strictly
enforced. Local option gives the
voters a chance every year to record
their verdict, and the result has been
steady decrease in the number OF
licensed towns throughout the state,
bearing out the contention of local
optionists that in time the people
would see fit to eliminate entirely
the saloon in Vermont.
We have had a chance to watch
the solution of the liquor question
under local option and a supposed

Dishonest Grand List.
The grand list of the town of Ben
nington this year shows a decrease
of some three hundred dollars in
spite of the fact that the quadren-
NAL appraisal was made last year,
in spite of the fact that the poll list
indicates an increase of population
of over 400, in spite of the fact that
property values here are increasing,
and in spite of the fact that most of
the people are prosperous. Ben
nington is a larger, richer and more
prosperous town than Brattleboro or
st. Johnsbury, but the grand list of
each of these towns is about half as
large again as that of Bennington be-
cause their property is listed higher
and their tax rate made lower. The
sentiment here has been to keep the
grand list down even though it
makes the rate extremely high, and
the listers are plainly obeying the
will of the public in listing property
here at about fifty cents on the dol
lar. 1t has always seemed to The
Banner that it would be wiser to
make the appraisal higher, say up to
two thirds of value, and the tax rate i
lower, but the listers cannot do it |
