"Pinehurst," in St. Johnsbury, the
home of Gov. and Mrs Horace Fair
banks for many years, has been open
ed to the public as the home of the
Maple Grove candies. The place was
purchased by the Maple Grove Can
dies, Inc, and has been fitted up
from garnet to cellar with the most
approved appliances for making the
candies. The business was started
about five years ago by Mrs George
M Gray, her daughter, Mrs Helen
Gray Powell, and Miss Ethel Nc
Laren, and was carried on at the
"Wayside" on the road to Passump-
sic. AS the fame of the candies
spread from year to year, enlarged
quarters became a necessity and last
year the business became Incorporate
ed as the Maple Grove Candies, with
George c Cary, the maple sugar king,
and Mary Elizabeth" the New York
candy maker, amor~ its stockholders.

The largest gain in the state was
made in Govern-elect Hartness' town

are shown in Rutland and Washing

by the slump in the granite, marble
and slate industries, which were
crippled by the war. The fact that

Dear Opinionites:

Dec. IA, lSZO.
Dear Opinionites:
In our last letter, we were Just
getting well begun on our first Palm
Fete, which was such a successful
and enjoyable affair that successive
seasons will be opened by Palm Fete
festivals.
Thursday was the day Of the
Flower Pageant, with its two miles
of floral floats for the opening
parade of the day. Every imagine
able design was employed to make
this a spectacular parade and the
float of the fairies won the first
prize. Many of the floats were
designed as great baskets filled full
of children. One shoe store employ
ed the old woman who lived in
shoe for their float. The browning of
the Flower Queen was a dainty
ceremony and the little girls, as.
flowers, did fancy dancing before
her tn! o.e after the ceremony. The
evening was given over to a marine
parade and the Moon dance.
Friday was the Beach day and as
it might be supposed was water
sports. Swimming, diving, water
walking and life saving demonstra-
lions began the program. A bathing
suit parade was something rather
different from the usual street
parade and caused plenty Of craning
Of necks. 1t was a gaily colored
batch of beauties and was so popu-
lar that the parade was repeated at
the Moon dance, Monday night.
Saturday was children's day. The
school children of Miami and its inn
mediate environs, either dressed in
white or in costume, marched through
the streets of Miami, Saturday after
noon. There were five thousand of
them and there is no danger Of a
city going to seed while IL has such
bright lot Of coming citizens. All
periods of American history were
represented. Red Cross and Boy
Scout organizations were scattered
through the parade. Religious edu-
cations, as typified by the convent.

leading. All nations were represent
ed by costume and each group
stopped at several points along the
line Of march and did folk dancing.

siderable degree, to the stag

the consuming power of our own

these economic ills arise from

Mr. Hoover does not favor call

the problem but rather that it
should be handled by individual
processes of business and in
dividual initiative. For he says
every pressure that desperate

There is a now proposition

difficult to figure out if the law
should be passed and enforced.
Another matter which has
been figured up and tabulated is
the cost of enfranchising the
women. 1t took seven years of
organized effort and S644,208.
Considering the far reaching
effect of the measure, it seems
not to have been over expensive.

Since the winning of the West,
we have sort of gotten into the
habit of feeling that we have no
new worlds to conquer. But

there is an empire waiting for
the magic wand of the railroad.
A railroad from Moore Haven,
on the west side of Lake Okee-
chobee, to Haines City and then
on to Jacksonville would open
up a country rich in natural soil.
1t is particularly adapted to cit
rus crops and it is said that that

MESA OPPOSES TEMPE IN SEASONS OPENER

TEMPE. April 1s.--With Harry Stewart. U- of A. star, working in the box, and fast and well-organized team back of him. the Tempe club is all set for it's opening game of the sea- son with Mesa on the high school grounds here this afternoon. The team. selected from several score candidates who have been out during the past month presents the best baseball tai ent that Tempe can get together, and there is no doubling that the club will give Mesa a hard battle.
 Stewart. who has been pitching bah for the university club, is Tempe boy, and arrived here last night to of ficiate in the game here today. Some three weeks ago in Phoenix he held the Standard Oil squad to a 1-to-0 vic- tory, and a week ago at Tucson he pitched shut-out game for the uni versity against the School of Mines of Fl PaSO, Texas. As a battery mate, Stewart will have Finch. for the last half dozen years Tempe's best catcher while the infield. according to the present lineup, will present Nichols at first, Hegi at second, Lemons at thiro and Wafford at short. In the outfield. Oviedo, Nevitt. Buck and Harris are in line for positions.
 Dick Lush. who pitched for Mesa last Sunday. holding the Roamers to one hit in six innings. will likely start in the box today. with Gill and Stapley ready to supplant him the minute he should go wrong. The rest of Mesa's lineup will remain the same.
 Tempe fans are keenly awaiting to- days battle and are confident that they have a team in the field that will open the season with a victory The High diamond. commencing at 8 o'clock
