Dresden postal district in November reached S550,OO0. Assuming that the like ratio prevails for all the rest of Germany he estimated that the soldiers sent home s24,OOO,oOO in Mo- vember. This sum appears all the more striking when it is recalled that the pay of the German private soldier is only about twelve cents a day The am cunts sent through the postoffice are often less than S2.5O, and in not a few cases less than one dollar.

This large sum of s24,0O0,o00 re- fleets the sobriety of the German soldier, his intrinsic decency and his strength of character; even in the widest turmoil of the bitterest strug- gle of history he does not forget the good habits of his home which he formed in times of peace.

FERN PICKING IN VERMONT.
Hard Gazette.

We noted in one of our State
exchanges a news item which stated
that during the recent fern-picking
season in Vermont, over 60 ears of
them had been sent from Bennington
alone. 1t was also remarked that the
continued cutting of ferns is rapidly
Duplicating the supply and it is estimated
that if the picking is continued for five
years more the particular kind of fern
used in floral work will be extinct in
this part of the country. If this state
ment is true, it seems to us means
should be taken to prevent Vermont
from losing n of her great charms.
The writer, a few weeks ago, was con-
versing with a lady who has travelled
extensively at home and abroad, and
who has passed several weeks in one of
our lovely Vermont villages. How
beautiful the ferns are in Vermont, 1"
she remarked. 1T seems to me that
nowhere have | seen such quantities of
them and such pretty ones" She then
went on to speak about the beauty of
Vermont scenery and the cordial hospi-
tally of Vermont people. This is good

THE AUTOMOBILE THAT HITS
AND RUNS AWAY.

The speeding automobile that smash
es something and skips before it's num-
Der is discovered, is common. The
chances for a successful escape are
fairly good. In case of accident, peo-
pie are often too confused to look al or
remember numbers correctly.
The danger from reckless automobile
driving increases, and many existing
provisions of law have become out of
date. Probably the number plates for
cars should be made larger so as to be
read more easily. In some States the
idea of separating the first two numer-
ais by a dash from those following is
tried and seems to make a number read
more easily.
The idea should be drilled into the
public mind, particularly into all who
use motor cars, that a quick reading of
the number of an offending machine is
the only protection and means of re-
dress. The machine that smashess into
your unoffending car may come from a
thousand miles distant. The chances
are a hundred to one that it is a strang-
er that you never saw. The car number
is the one tie binding him to justice and
the law of the land. People should not
let that string slip out of their fingers.
The number plates of the different
should states look as diverse as possible,
so that the license of almost any nearby
State could be recognized by the colors,
shape, or size of the plate. These diff
~ferences exist to a degree. But by con-
sultation among the licensing author
tiles, greater varieties could be secured
so that the plates of different States
could be better distinguished.
1t shocks ones faith in human
nature to read of some things that
happen on the road. Carelessly to rur
down an unoffending person is bad
; enough. But to commit that act, anc
then to run without offering assistance.
is about the most sneaking act imagin
able. The law should make a cleai
distinction between the motorist WHIT
stops and helps and the one who runs
If a few of those fellows could b'
severely punished, other hogs of thu
same breed would conclude that it il
better to stop than to ru1.

THE BIRTH OF A NATION"

A development no one would have be-
lieved possible a few years ago is seen
in the establishment of D. w. Griffith's
''The Birth of a Nation" as a firstclass
theatrical attraction which has been
crowding the houses all over the country
at "two-dollar top" prices.
"lhe Birth of a Nation" which will
be shown at the Opera house three
days, December 2, 3 and A, twice daily,
is indeed more than a film, for nearly
one hundred people are employed in the
music and mechanical effects during
the unreeling of this II, 900 feet of cell
luloid, yet never a word is spoken from
the stage during the two and three
quarters hours performance. MI.
Grifith's photo-entertainment combines
a pictorial survey of the Civil War his
tory and of reconstruction days with a
love romance of the North and South.
The battle scenes, engaging thousands of
combatants drilled with the well-known
Griffith clan and realism, are particu-
larly effective.
After seeing this marvellous produc-
ton, many students of the subject pre-
dict that the historical novels of the
future will be told in pictures rather
than words. Certainly the ''indoor
drama cannot henceforth hope to cope
with the ~photoplay in so far as spec
tacular features are concerned. adv.

VALUE OF VERMONT CROPS.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian.

Vermont farmers produced this sea-
son ST., 875, 800 worth of corn, $34, 500
worth of wheat, 1911, 100 worth of
oats, $36, 120 worth of barley, 81, $780,
600 worth of potatoes and 1898, 600
worth of apples. This totals Sc, 623, $50.
In addition to the hay crop and several
smaller crops like tobacco, bu%ckwheat,
etc. The whole makes quite a respect
able increase to the actual wealth of the
nation by Vermont farmers. If any
farmer wishes to know what part he
had in producing this amount of wealth
he can multiply the number of bushels
of any crop he raised by the average
price to producers for the State. They
are: corn SO cents a bushel, wheat 81. Is,
oats So cents, barley Sc cents, potatoes
IA cents and apples $2.9 per barrel.
The above figures show that potatoes
are the big crop of Vermont with corn
and oats following in close succession.

Worthwhile News and Citizen.

We hear considerable condemnation
against the law which permits the killing
of does, and also the extension of the
deer hunting season. We are not much
or deer hunting, but we believe good
sportsmen will agree with us that the
next Legislature should repeal killing
does and also.restore the hunting season
to ten days. A continuation of the
present law will soon annihilate deer in
Vermont.

MMuNlCATIO
A QUESTION.
the Editor of the Register:

10 the Editor of the Register:
Judge Tyler in speaking of local
option says-"A grave question is be-
fore the voters of the State" This is
certainly true. 1t is a grave" question,
when we reflect that alcoholic liquors
carry to the grave in this country two
hundred people every day in the year or
one man out of every seven and me
half men. Insurance records prove that
drink shortens a mans life II per cent.
Nor is this all, a girl goes to her death
every seven minutes who has been sac
rificed to lust, which is an accompany
ing evil of drink. This is a form of
race suicide" which some classes of
people have seemingly overlooked.
The traffic being optional in some
towns, and not at all ~'local'' in effects,
we find wei fifty per cent of insane,
fully 60 per cent of u paupers and at
least 70 per cent of u criminals are in
our public institutions as a result
directly or indirectly of intoxicating
liquor.
Let us not forget that local option
very successfully protects the saloon
very much better than it protects the
weak and tempted citizens, who are
perfectly willing to do themselves and
their families harm.
Alcohol is absolutely worthless in the
sickroom as a food or stimulant, it is
today recognized as a heart depressant
and a nerve poison. After January /,
1916 it will not be recognized as
a medicine in the United States
Pharmocopoeia.
In view of the above facts why should
there be any option whatever regard
ing that which produces disease,
degeneracy and death?
Truly it is a grave" question.

APPLE SURVEY.

Morrisville. November 1S.-A large
number are attending the 21st annual
meeting and exhibition of the Vermont
State Horticultural society which
opened here last evening.
James P. Taylor, secretary of the
Greater Vermont association spoke as
follows at the meeting held at two
o'clock this afternoon:
"The Vermont apple triumphed at the
Boston fruit show. The evening Tran
script remarked hat Vermont Had her
own way an inevitable comment, since
Vermont varieties were awarded the
following prizes, ID f~irsts, 9 seconds,
8 thirds, 5 fourths and two ffths.
The significance of Vermont superiority
was recognized by the Providence
Journal which said, Vermont is en-
titled to much credit for starting COM
petition with the western growers. The
other New England States should join
in the movement for producing and SELL
ing apples at home
"The practical question which now
faces the apple growers of Vermont is,
how shall Vermont live up to these ap-
precautions of Vermont's leadership.
We have proven that Vermont's best is,
or may be, the best of all. But we must
not boast, since our best is so small a
proportion of u output. and our out
put is so much smaller than we ought to
make it.
"Recent events force upon US a
privilege, a duty. If we can produce the
best here and there, now and then, we
ought to produce the best always and
everywhere. If we allow a befooled
public to deceive themselves in the en-
joyment of what is not the best, but is
skillfully produced and sold as such by
masters of organization and advertising
in other regions, how can we in our
neglect of opportunity and d~isloyalty to
duty face our ministers on Sunday, OF
our consciences during the week?
"We must put the goods back of oul

Men do Thus alone can we capitalize
the name Vermont as applied to Yer
mont products. We must not allow the
Vermont apple to go the way of the
Vermont turkey, which is too often {
mere word synonymous with perfection
Imagine what our State income would
be if all the so-called Vermont TURKEYS
sold in the great cities were really pro
duced in Vermont and paid for at tn,
price of a fancy article. To avoid sucl
a fate for the Vermont apple, we mus
survey Vermont as IN apple region ant
then, faithful to the result of our study
get together to produce the best

the best to satisfy buyers from New
England, from the West and from
Europe.

some time. There are comparatively
few who realize the Importance of this

cultural associations in making an APP
pie urvey of Vermont. At the close of
the season of 1915, when the Vermont
apple has just been glorified, now
seems the opportune time to carry out
this project, by which we study the
situation, find out what we are doing,
what u problems and difficulties are,
what are the needs and possibilities of
Vermont as the apple State.
The object of this survey is three
fold: to increase the interest, not only
of farmers and orchardists, but also of
merchants and manufacturers and
bankers; to secure definite information
abont increase in orchards, methods of
culture, handling of the product, plans
of marketing, as they are now practiced;
to stimulate thought and improve
methods through the assembling of in
formation and suggestions in a report
based on this survey which will reflect
the collective wisdom and experience of
the apple growers of Vermont.
Eve seek, then, your official approval
of this survey project and your hearty
personal cooperation in giving us the
data and in encouraging others to do
so."

DEFECTIVE CHIMNEYS.
Bennington Banner.

Every year with the coming of
cold weather the number of fires in
dwelling houses doubles, triples ~
quadruples. This increase is due
wholly to defective 1ues. AS houses
get old the chimneys often get porous
and shaky. Stove-pipe frequently
rusts out during the dampness of dog
days, and fues which go through
wooden partitions in early fall with
immunity and safety are dangerous
when we begin to force the fires as we
are compelled to when jack frost gets
boisterous and offensive. Every house
holder and every renter should examine
his chimneys and other f1ues at this
season of the year. or have it done by
some competent person. A little care
thus exercised may save your home and
household goods some bitter cold night
in winter.
