LARGE INCREASE IN
TOURIST BUSINESS
One Windham County Hotel Says it is
Nearly Double That of Last Year
Largest in Years.

Inquiries sent out from the state public
ity bureau, a department in the secretary
of states office, to the larger hotels and
boarding houses III the state, asking for
information concerning this years sum-
mer tourist business, show that with
very few exceptions this is the best sea
son Vermont has had for several years
and in some instances the best ever
known. Not a few hotel keepers have
had to turn business away. Owing to the
high cost of food products, however, pro-
fits may not be as great as in other years
There is general feeling of confidence
in the future of Vermont as popular
tourist region and belief that the state
is coming into its own in this respect.
In many instances the increased number
of summer visitors is traced to the eff
forts of the publicity bureau. Some cor
respondents write favorably OF the high
ways of the state, while others urge a
better system and report complaints from
their patrons.

In the naples overhead,

Crops are ripening in the fields,
Orchards bend beneath the yields
Of the luscious fruits they grow.

And September S almost here

In the gorgeousness of tint
Picnic days will soon be rare.
Then from all the hills around
Roll the pumpkins to the ground,
Till in pyramids they re built.
Bring the aldermanic pig
And the trotting horse and gig;
Don t forget the patchwork quilt.
As the gates you amble through
All the folks you ever knew
From the ends of earth are there.
And each other 5 hand you take,
Saying, with pump-handle shake,
"Why you haven t changed a hair
Over blare of footing band

As you watch the trotters 60

Up the other side and back,
Till you re hoarser than a crow

You've enjoyed the little fair.
