Stockmen will be interested to know
that the Western Pacific has made a
big cut in freight rates on hay from
California points. 1t is probable that
many will take advantage of the re

p%erienced if the present weather CON

Hasty Marriages.
springfield Reporter.)

Bellows Falls is forging to the front
as a rival of Brattleboro as mar
riage mart. In each case couples from
Massachusetts come to Vermont to
get married for the reason that they
do not wish to wait five days for the
legal notice required in Massachusetts.
If a couple cannot wait five days they
had better call the wedding off alto
gether. There are too many hasty mar
riages, and it would be good thing
for Vermont to enact a law requiring
a similar notice of five days before
any couple could get married in this
state. Such law would tend to reduce
the number of divorces, and so help
to save the institution of matrimony
from being still further disgraced.
