81, 900 BARRELS OF
VERMONT APPLES
Estimated Revenue to Growers Is
100000 - Some Large Producers
in Windham County.

BURLINGTON, Nov 29-About $1,000
barrels OF apples, which ranged in price
from S5to IS per- barrel, were shipped from
Vermont to- the big buyers in New. York
city this fan, according to the apple buy
ers for. William Il Brown & Co, who are
by farssthe biggest buyers Of apples in this
state. THAT means revenue of some
where near s200,s80 which apple growers
IN Vermont received this year from that
source alone. ias
The apple crop this year turned out
much better than was expected, especially
IN the southern part of the. state, where
apple growing is a coming enterprise and
where many new orchards are being set
out. In some towns in that section where
only a small amount of apples was shipped
few years ago, there are orchards now
which vie with the best IN the state. TAX
ing the entire state into consideration, this
year is the best in three years and the
price has been far better. than ever before.
In Grand Isle county there was an av
erage crop this year and about 5000 bar
rels We're shipped. Most of these went by
boat to Plattsburgh, where they were sent
by train to the big storehouses III Albany
and other places along the Hudson Shell
burne did very well and in all about 5000
were shipped from that town. This in
Guided about 1900 barrels which went
from Shelburne Point, including Shelburne
Farms, J. Watson. Webb's, and Clarence
Morganss places c. c. Fletcher shipped
about 400 barrels. c. d. Ordway's farm
about 500 and other places in Shelburne
about 1000 more
Ferrisburg shipped about 5000 barrels.
In addition to the apples grown in that
town, this is a shipping point for Bristol,
Starksboro, Monkton and other places,
and a large part of the apples came from
! outside the township. Charlotte had
about an average crop.
Some small places along the Massachu-
sets border come to the front during
apple picking time and such places as Hal
flax ship large quantities OF apples as the
result of the industry of the apple grow
ers in the section John kersinsky, new
conner in Grove, which is a postoffice in
the town of Halifax. shipped about 1000
barrels this year and o. D. Amidon of the
same place sent out about 700 While the
northern part of Vermont, in places, be-
came disheartened over apple raising be
cause OF the large losses caused by bad
weather, the southern part of the state
, suffered none of these hardships and is
, more than making up for any shortage
which may come in the north.
! For the first time in three years there
was no trouble in obtaining apple pickeIs
in Vermont this fall, and Nermonter:

JUDGE STElK'S
COMMANDMENTS
Popular Judge of the Speeders'
Court Lays Down a Deca-
logue for Auto Owners and
Drivers

Judge John Stelk of the Speeders'
court has asked Aid. Joseph L. Novak
to introduce an ordinance into the
council providing that booklet con-
tanning the speed laws be given by
the city clerk with each car license.
Judge Stelk will endeavor to present
the same plan to the state legislature
SO that every motorist will receive q
copy of the state laws with his II.
cense number.
In all probability the book will be
arranged in the form of command
ments" to speeders. The principal
ones will be ten in number, as fol.
lows:
"Thou shalt not:
II. Drive more than twenty-five
miles an hour on any country road.
"2. Drive more than twelve miles
an hour on the outskirts Of any city
or village.
"3. Drive more than fifteen mile,
an hour in any residence district
"a. Drive more than ten miles an
hour In business districts.
s"5. Drive more than six miles an
hour around corners.
IS. Drive more than six miles an
hour while approaching railroad
crossings.
a. Turn to left of q street car
standing or moving and go between
the car and the curb while passen.
gers are getting on or off.
IS. Park longer than the law al
lows.
"Thou shalt:
80. Stop at all boulevards and rail.
road crossings.
40. Drive only when In perfect
mental and physical condition"
Other commandments, such as
"Thou shalt not try to fool the Judge"
and warnings of like significance will
be added.

lis inexcusable. As result Of Governor
Coolidge's action the situation in Boston is
rapidly improving.
The principle underlying this case is
clear. A policeman is not an employee In
the ordinary sense, but public officer
He is the servant Of the people, and the
representative of the power and SOW
ereignty of the state. If he strikes, it is
not against an employer, but against the
state and the social order. Being the rep
resentative and agent Of the state, he can
have no allegiance except to the state. He
can take no order from any other author
ity, whether it be the union Of which he is
a member or an outside union. Like many
other public officials he is likely to forget
that his position is one of trust and if he
violates the established code of honor he
has committed an offense which can not
be excused away.

to the cheering people, he was mean

to the cheering people. he was mean
while in deep discussion with Mr.
Grahame. The president was wasting
no time listening to reports. He fully
believed that he had appointed the
right man for the Job. and took 1t for
granted that 1t had been properly at
tended to, as it had. The matter OF
the moment was a warm argument
regarding the relative merits of jiu-
jitsu and Caledonian wrestling, and
Mr.. Grahame, who was Of Scotch de-
scent, an athlete and a good wrest-
Ter, claimed that for every jiu-jitsu
grip there was some Caledonian
break" The president was not to
be convinced orally. He said he would
have to be shown.
1t was agreed that at the first op-
portunity the proper physical test
should be made. Later on there was
utes in the exercises of the day, be-
fore the ceremony of presentation of
the keys of the city. The event was
to take place in the Throne Room,
back of which was a "Robing Room"
What better time or place to settle
such an important controversy? So
the president of the United States and
the high commissioner Of Porto Rico
pulled off their coats and went to
it,"
The physical argument finally re-
suited in tight clinch, with the high
commissioners head under the presi-
Dental arm, a position known as "in
chancery."
The counter move in such a case,
under the Caledonian method. Is to
place the palm of the hand under the
opponents nose and shove his head
over backwards. Unfortunately for
Mr.. Grhame. he got his hand under
the presidents chin instead of his
nose, about the most immovable point
of Roosevelt's anatomy, and the re-
suit was a dead lock.
What might have been the ultimate
result will never be known. The con-
testants were too busy to note the
fleeing moments, until their attention
was attracted by the appearance in the
doorway of a committee Of Mortified
prominent citizens, bearing a pillow
and the keys to the city"
They broke away quickly, Colonel
Roosevelt grinningly explaining that
his high commissioner had not be-
haved to his liking. so that he felt
called upon to inflict personal chas-
tisement upon his erring official.
