ANOTHER KIND OF TAX.
Estates of Deceased Persons Must
Contribute to Government.

Executors and administrators of es-
tates aggregating in the gross 100000,
or net $4,000, or more, are now realiz-
ing the stern necessity of the national
administration for more governmental
revenues. All such estates are here
after subject to government tax. Es-
tates of all non-residents, of foreign
ers, of whatever value, are also subject
to the federal tax.
Judges of the probate court in Yer
mont have received official notification
that all executors and administrators of
estates described above, or persons who
receive property from such estates in
the amount named, are required under
the law to notify the collector of in
ternal revenue within 60 days of their
appointment as such executors and adj
ministrators or of their receipt of the
property of a decedent. The tax must
be paid within one year from the date
of the death, under a heavy penalty fol-
noncompliance with the law. The
government kindly offers liberal dis
count for payments made in advance OF
the legal requirement.

DUNHAM CLUB CHAMPION.
Defeated T. T. Britain in Final Golf
Match-Mrs. H. E. Whitney Won
Ladies' Prize.

l.. L. Durham on Monday afternoon
won the golf championship of the Brat
tleboro Country club, defeating II. II.
Britain in the final round 6 and 4.
Durham won all of his matches by good
margins except in the semi-fnal round,
when he beat Dennison Cowles, jr., l
up at 10 holes after the latter had led
during a large part of the contest. The
prize is the president s cup, handsome
solid silver trophy. The Britain trophy
for ladies, their main prize for the
year, was won by Mrs. Harold +. Whit
ney, who played the nine holes in 81,
which with her handicap of % gave her
q net score of &c.,
Jacob Estey on Saturday won the
George l.. Durham cup offered for the
best net score made by any golfer of the
Brattleboro Country club between July |
and October l. Playing from handicap
of 20 he made the Is holes in 90 giving
him a net of 20. Dennson Cowles, ST.,
who won the Labor day cup offered by h..
L. Durham and The Reformer cup, tied
with Estey Cowles was playing with a
handicap of 80, but after he won the La
Dor day cup his mark was changed to %.
He played the full round Friday in 90.
Previous to Labor day Cowles had never
turned in card below ll5. In the last
| few weeks he has shown wonderful i'm
provcment, and after lifting two fine tro-
phies he had a chance for third, but in
playing off the tie with Estey the latter
won by six strokes.
The course is in finer playing condition
! than ever before, 1t is probable that one
more large cup will be offered for compe-
tition in the next few DAVIS and arrange
ments are expected to be made for team
match, the players to be chosen by l.. H.
Durham and r. I. Britain as captains.

BREAKING INTO FARMING.
Thoughts Addressed to Man Who
Thinks Farming Is Cinch.

If you have never lived on farm
and are intending to buy some land
and make living out of it yourself,
the first advice is "don t. /"
Why's Because if you do not enjoy
heavy work and disappointment, if
you can not stand up under insect raw
ages, droughts, floods, neighbors chick
ems, squirrels, insect enemies and plant
diseases, you are not the man.
However, you will not take this ad-
vice, so let us give you the next best.
If you must buy a farm, run it for
term of years first with the privilege
of buying it at the end of the time
or at an agreed price fixed beforehand.
This is good advice because it is prac-
tically your farm to do as you please
with, but if you find that you are not
adapted to it and can not stand the
hard work, you can take your compare
lively small loss sell off your animals
and tools and go into real estate bust
ness or sell insurance or some other
thing which men without capital drift
into.
However much you have read up OF
think you know about farming, do NOT
try to show the natives how to farm
They have got you faded from the
start. At the same time don't take
their advice too readily because what
you know is probably right and dc
not let them laugh you out of it when
you are sure that you are right.

were baffled by his speed, and Blake

THE PERSONAL INTEREST.
That's What Keeps the Boy on the
Farm and Makes Him Enthusiastic.

Vermont paper tells how Earl
Taylor, small boy of Waterford, in
that state, has added 500 to his saw
ings bank account by selling Here
ford heifer, belonging to registered
stock, which he raised himself. That
used to be quite -he regular thing in
Vermont-for n farmers boy to have
some good stock of his own, or a piece
of ground which he carried on himself
and from which he sold the produce.
The custom explains a good deal of
the resourcefulness and thriftiness of
the average Vermonter when he gets
out into the world. The old-fashioned
Vermont paterfamilias recognized the
value of educating his boys in gump-
ton by presenting them at an early
age with an animal or getting them
to farm on their own account a little
piece of ground. In the days of sheep,
up there, the thing was comparatively
easy. When boy was, say, seven
years old, and was already quite a
Little Man, his father presented him
with an eve lamb, on this basis: all
the increase from the eve was to be-
long to the boy in fee simple, out and
out, but the father took the wool in
return for the cost of the keep of the
boys stock. The wool really paid the
cost of the keep, and the increase was
the boy legitimate property. He was
supposed to take care of his own
sheep-to look after the lambs, and so
on. BY this means he became a good
shepherd, and his little flock increased
from year to year. From time to time
he sold fat wether and obtained a
bit of money for any expenditure he
liked, or to add to his savings bank ac-
count and if, when he had reached the
mature age of 16, he wished to sell the
entire flock and put the money into
some other enterprise, he was as free
to do so as if here were of age. The
boys flock of sheep was, in the old
times, the foundation of real wealth
or of personal independence.
Then there was the little piece of
garden or field ground. The boy took
care of this himself, and sold all his
produce. The piece of land was not sc
big but that the boy could "run" il
by getting up little earlier in the
morning, or by taking half an hour
after dinner while the hired men were
resting, or by working in little time
here and little time there. Common
ly the boy raised some one crop on
the piece, and sold it out in the fall
onions we're a good crop for the pur
pose; or it might be fancy sort OF
potatoes. You may depend upon il
that, in the case Of a boy with rea
enterprise, this piece of land received
intensive cultivation, and the crop wa'
a big one. 1t certainly did as much t.
make farmer out of the boy as any
| instruction that he received in the reg
ular course of the farm business. -

What Edison among horses first discov-

Each horse keeps his tail flying, as he
brushes the troublesome insects off his
neighbours head. 1t is the acme of intelli-

always knew it. And maybe some wise

should, vote
For President
CHARLES EVANS HUGHES"
In these ringing words George Har-
vey, the able editor of The North
American Review and one of the strong
est writers in America, closes an edi-
torial advocating the election of Mr.,
Hughes as president of the United
States. Editor Harvey is the man who
made Woodrow Wilson president and
this complete reversal of position by
man of such power and acknowledged
ability challenges the attention of all
America. "Why?' will be upon the
lips of every thoughtful man. We wish
space would permit us to reproduce Mr..
Harvey answer on this great question.
1t is the strongest political article it
has been our privilege to read in recent
years. Summarized his answer is:
The Republican party is the better
equipped and more likely to render the
highest public service.
Under the administration of Josephus
Daniels the navy will never be proper
ly enlarged, the officers of the navy
would be subjected to gross injustice
through favoritism and ga vote for
Wilson is vote for Daniels"
That the "federalizing of the mill
tia by the Democratic party has
proved abortive, that the huge sums
lalready voted for the increase of the
national army would be sacrificed in
fruitless effort and the cause of "True
Preparedness betrayed by the Demo
cratic party. That the Republicans can
utilize the resources in hand to the
greatest advantage of the country.
That the Republican policy of pro-
lection is the only policy that will pro-
| tect American manufacturers and
American workingmen in the great in
dustrial conflict sure to follow the close
of the European war.
That Mr.. Hughes would never have
surrendered the principles of arbitra-
ton and fair legislation to the repre-
sentatives of the four railroad brother
hoods for the purpose of making votes
for himself.
That the supreme court of this land,
the "great tribunal" which "has held
the full faith of the people as the bull.
wark of their liberties under the 'law'
would not be safe in the hands of
Woodrow wilson,
That in Europe President Wilson is
the one most mistrusted and con-
demned of men, whose tender of aid in
the name of justice, fairness and hu-
manity would be rejected unanimously
with derisioI and scorn."
That Mr.. Hughes stands for America
first while Mr.. Wilson stands for
Wilson first.
Mr.. Harvey has spoken as no other
American could and his mastery appeal
should not be rejected by the American
people.

Sad Days Have Fallen Up
on Republican Party
In Ohio
WILSON AND cox
SLOGAN NOWADAYS
A(yers) P. Velvet Gives
Hughes Only Majorities
He Will Receive

With the voters of Ohio about to
count 40" on Hughes, Willis and 9th
ers, and with the haunting figure Of
failure looming larger each day before
their trembling eyes, the entire Re
publican press of the state is sending
forth the strangest cry since it was an
nounced, and soon disproved, that
DOC" Cook had discovered the north
pole.
Hughes is going to sweep the state,
they chortle, and then glance over
their shoulders to see If some fool
killing weapon is not directed at them.
Willis is gaining daily in strength, they
declare, and then stick their tongues in
the sides of their mouths.
The Republican party in Ohio, par
ticularly in Knox county, has never
witnessed darker days. The shift from
one issue to another by their presi-
Dental candidate has disconnected the
whole outfit and deep gloom is eyi-
dent on all sides.
AND NOW ANOTHER!
First it was an attack on the eight
hour bill which Judge Hughes essayed.
The reception he received at the hands
of the working people of Toledo and of
Akron brought him up with jolt He
dropped the issue like a red-hot coal.
1t was political suicide to continue.
The same spirit which actuated
Hughes in the famous Danbury Hat
ters' case and which, right there and
then stamped him as an inalienable
foe to labor and it's interests, prompt
ed his criticism of the Adamson eight
hour law and his well-nigh vicious
attacks upon President Wilson's
course in acknowledging the princi-
pie of the eight-hour day.
After a swing through the west
which lost, instead of gained, him
thousands upon thousands of votes, the
pulmotor was applied to the judge and
now he has crept forth with a new
issue-after the war, what?
The judge has been kidded by his
campaign managers into believing that
something is going to happen after
the war. Maybe he realizes and may
be he doesn't that this after-the-war
stuff is mere political babble.
Judge Hughes failed utterly to tell
what he would have done, when he
criticized the many splendid things
Pres. Wilson has done and will contin-
ue to do. When this question was
fired at him, he stammered and blush
ed. He could not tell what he would
have done and yet he criticized. Hence,
the shift to the future.
is man who is entirely unable to
tell what he would have done In the
past or suggest anything of con-
structive character, able or competent
to tell what he would do In the future?
Against experts, against authorities,
against economists and in fact against
most everybody who has made a real
study of affairs, Judge Hughes talks OF
temporary prosperity" "the FOOLS
