An Incentive to Vermont.
Barre Times.)

A glance at the prize awards of the
New England fruit show indicates
to certain extent the awakening of
interest by Vermont fruit growers in
the possibilities of their business.
Practically one-half of those awards
went to Vermont fruit growers, there
being fl first prizes, 80 second prizes,
81 third prizes, 10 fourth prizes and
three fifth prizes. Vermonters' success
was the more notable inasmuch as the
show just held at Montpelier was con
sidered to have been one of the best
ever given by the organization. The re-
suit must have been particularly graft
flying to horticulturalists in Vermont
and to those others who are anxious to
have the fruit growing interests of the
state take their rightful place in the
country. Moreover, the addresses given
at the show and at the meetings of the
Vermont State Horticultural society
cannot fail to prove an inspiration to

Childhood is brief but happy period
IN life which is very similar to a good
dlgestlon-it is never appreciated un-
til it is gone
When man or woman reaches mid
die age, and is kept busy lodging such
high explosives as current bills or sight
drafts or the baby stomach teeth or
the hired girl S resignation on wash
day, we are prone to look back upon
childhood and wonder why it had to
come to an abrupt and painful close.
When we remember that in childhood
there were no floors to scrub or dishes
to wash or coal to buy or meat bills to
meet, we would like to be back in that
land of dimples in our knees and a
mind as free of care as a son-in-la
who married into a chunk of unearned
increment.
Childhood is the only time in life
when the mind is able to run without
friction. 1t is great thing to be a
baby and not have to worry about
where the meals are coming from.

when we see bright-eyed, double

without a thought of the Sunday dim

When man who has five or six chill

them at their play, with a couple of

he would like to sit down on the grass
and shrink back into boyhood. 1t is
hard to understand why people have
TO grow up and contract stomach
trouble and debts and lodge dues and

remaining in the stage of childhood
and having nothing to worry about ex-
cept an occasional stone bruise. This

the people and for the people, Lin
coin may or may not have heard of this
passage. 1t makes little difference
save as matter of curiosity. The Wy
cllife uttcrancc has had to be dug out
of antiquity to reach the popular eye.
The phrase spoken at Gettysburg in
1868 rang with the note of living
hour. 1t has continued to ring ever
since, and it will carry the living word
so long as words endure. The phrase
belongs to the man who gave it i'm

Gen. Rush {. Hawkins of New York,
native Nermontcr, has offered $780,
600 to the University of Vermont, on
condition that an additional 100000
he raised for that institution. 1t IS
time for the alumni and friends of the
university to get busy. A fund of
100000 would go a long way toward
building mp the university, which is al
ready doing a notable work in bringing
higher education to the young men and
women of the state.

Sincere sympathy will be extended
by hundreds of Nermonters to Judge
Harland b. Howe of st. Johnsbury in
the sorrow which has come to him in
the death Of his estimabe wife. Mrs.
Howe had deep and helpful interest
in her husband S career, and had been
a real factor in making him one of the
notable men of the state In addition to
her husband Mrs. Howe leaves four
young daughters.

Frances Comes To Helen's Aid.

FRANCES had outlined her plan
r carefully 70 Helen
l. Il am sure she said confident
ly that Babbie viii be only too de-
lighted to ask him-an extra man is
such a blessing"
Helen demurred and Frances per
sisted gaily. Helen. you're not shoF-
ing any sporting blood at all. I'm dis
appointed i'm you. What was that
woman's name you told me about early
in the spring. The one YOU helped In
the affair with her husband and the
young widow
You mean Laura Richards said
Helen. with sudden interest. Frances
words had brought up the entire affair
very clearly. How different matters
had seemed when she was managing
things for another woman. And still
she had no real proof Of Warren >
fickleneSs as Laura had. Just suppose
sine. Helen. had happened TO walk into
a hotel some day and should see War
rem eating lunch with Lola Wilcox
And yet Warren would be sure to
find a legitimate excuse for it. If IL
mad not been for the fact that she
dreaded TO find out the truth she would
have probed Tor the truth in the mat
ter of the automobile accident the night
she had been in Cleveland But there
was a certain reticence about discov-
erinc Warren in an affair Of this kind
Helen was the kind Of a woman who
burned % know things, and yet hated
20 ask and find out
Yes. her name was Laura Rich
ards Frances said. You were lust
great in that affair. Helen. and now
YOU are not willing TO try the same
tactics yourself
But il seems like using Ned Burns
for an eXigency." Helen insisted. You
know ! don't care for him. and his at
tentions embarrass me terribly
have hated the easy way he has taken
upon himself to run in whenever h.
likes. and his fOndness for Winifred
makes too good am excuse"
4 Needed Lesson
4 know dear. but I'm afraid Warren
really needs the lesson If there were
another man at the house party that
we could use. I wouldn't insist upon
Ned Burns. but there Is no one else
Benedict is devoted To Lola Wilcox. al
though she can manage any number.

him TO you If YOU like And Frances
laughed little nervously.

significance Of Carp AtwOOd's attention

Gus II was foolhardy for Frances TO
encourage the man as she was doing.
Perhaps % was all for the best that
Frances should be given her own way
in the matter. II might serve to take
some OF her interest away from Carp
for the time being.
As soon as Frances saw signs OF
