ORANGE COUNTY FARMERS
ASSOCIATION NOTES.
Notes for Week Ending June 80.

Six more alfalfa plots have been visit
ed this past week. The value Of lime
and incubation are in almost all plots
plainly visible and the lessened number
of weeds in the summer seeding make
that preferable to spring.
The Chelsea West Hill Farmers club
held its first annual meeting Tuesday
evening, June 26. This one meeting with
its attendance of about 80 men, women
and children, it's enthusiasm and interest
in agricultural discussion fully justifes
the formation of the club. That other
sections of the county are getting inter
ested in this form of local organization
is seen by the interest in the sections
visited the past week. West Fairlee
Center farmers who were seen Wednes-
day all showed an interest in the forma-
tion of a club in that community. In
spite of the rain, Friday night about 30
were present at meeting in West New
bury and a committee consisting OF Will
Putnam, Henry Tuxbury and S. s. Tuck
er was appointed to canvass the section
TO see who were interested and appoint
another meeting later. A petition is be-
ing circulated in East Brookfield to Sc
cure signers for club in that commu-
nifty. There are yet many communities
who are doing nothing about local CO.
operation. Do you who live in these sec

BRATTLEBoRo PROTESTS

be obliged to take out a Vermont H.
cense. Without regard to what action
New Hampshire may have taken toward
Vermont car owners, local merchants

tending to keep people from across the
Connecticut out of Brattleboro They
call attention to the fact that this town
derives large volume of trade from
adjoining towns in New Hampshire, es
is anxious to retain this trade and Sc
cure as much more as possible.

attempt at retaliation is manifest to

casion TO make frequent trips to New

there was a decrease of l3 per cent in

cuts off the roots of the corn plant and

More Kiss Doctrine.

One Mrs. Minnie Slentz promulgat-
ed this unorthodox doctrine in the d.
vorce court while ago:
Some couples may kiss each other
right up until theyRare sixty, ia an
attempt to fool themselves into think
ing that their kisses have the gen.
uine heart glow OF the first month Of
marriage, but it is all bosh. Real
kissing becomes monotonous during
the second year, intermittent from the
fourth to the sixth, and stops entirely
before the eighth year of married
life.
Can this be true? At the risk of
infringing on the province Of another
department Of this paper, we invite
the opinions of our readers on this
important theme. Let your answers
or criticisms be brief, either In verse
or prose. In the words Of Wallace
Irwin:
Enough of kissing-can there be
enough?"

COMFORT IN AMERICAN HOTEL
CaraVansaries Surpass Those of Amy
Other Nation of the Earth, Is
Opinion of One Writer.

I remember somebody once saying
to me long time ago that the Ameri-
cans had attained luxury by jumping
over comfort. l think there is a GER
tain amount of truth in this, and yet
1t would be foolish to call American
hotels uncomfortable. They are not
uncomfortable. Only there is this to
be said: That to some people all
hotel life is uncomfortable. They hate
living in a crowd. They hate hustle,
confusion, noise, the arrival and de-
parture of people, etc. And there is
certainly more hotel life in America
than in other countries. And yet what
a saving to the nerves, and to the
temper, are so many of the devices
and the arrangements in American
hotels. The telephone, for instance.
II you want q nice test of temper, try
to get a number at the Hotel Cecil
in London; or, better still, spend a
happy morning in ringing up people
on the telephone in Paris. In America
1t is either done for you at once or
you know 1t cannot be done, and the
matter is settled. Hotel life in Ameri.
ca seems to me infinitely better or
ganized than In any other country in
the world, with the possible exception
of China. Because when you order
a room at a Chinese hotel, in small
Chinese town, the room is built for
you while you wait; you choose the
style of room, and the paper, the car
peting and all the furniture are put in
during the day.-Metropolitan Maya
zine.
