APOLOGIES TO GREENFIELD.
Boston Newspaper Erred When 1t Re
ported Place as on Standard Time.

BOSTON, April 15.-The statement
printed in last Sundays Globe to the
effect that the town of Greenfield had
voted at q special town meeting to con
duct the work of the town and individuals
on standard time was an error. Through
mistake in transmission a Greenfield
date line was put on a dispatch which
should have carried q Whately date line.
The town of Whately voted to run its
business on standard time at special
town meeting, not the town of Greenfield.
Greenfield has taken the opposite action
and is in favor of daylight saving time.

met and married Annie Lee who with
their two children Mrs. John Gault

Every pessimist in Bennington
county would profit by . perusal of the
story of Mrs Sam Greenberg, which
appeared in Thursday evenings Ban
ner. If they would only consider the
wretched condition of the people of
Europe, where the currency is worth
less, where the former blooming
fields have been laid waste, where
the prices OF foodstuffs literally fore
cast starvation, they night realize
that they are living in Gods country,
and that most, if not all, of their griey-
ances are purely imaginary. In Pc
land, for illustration, there is no gov
eminent, no law, every right OF pri-
vate property has been dissipated,
the food supply is woefulIy made
quate to meet the demand, the cost Of
what food there is is away beyond
the means of the hungry peasants
and general anarchy prevails.
Mr. Pessimist, please reflect on
that situation and If YOU do, you must
thank the fates that placed you in
such pleasant and opulent surround
ings as envelop YOU in Vermont The

conditions in Vermont will be sure
to feel dissatisfied IN Heaven-pro.

MRS. CHEEK CHAMPION
TURKEY PRODUCER

fFrom Wednesdays Daily Herald)
That turkeys have been the most
profitable crop growing in Maury
county was demonstrated in the expei
r of Mrs. N. p. Cheek OF the Leftwich
Bridge section If a prize had been
offered for the largest crop of tur-
keys grown in the county this year it
would without doubt have gone to
Mrs Cheek.
This enterprising housewife raised
no less than 101 turkeys. She sold
them for $515.75 or an average of
more than S. each. That is as much
as the profit on a hog raised for the
past year could possibly have been.
1t is more than one would have Teceiv-
ed net for a beef steer and probably
exceeds the margin of profit on the
first Monday in September last on the
average mule colt.
The investment and the risk in rails
ing these turkeys was less than on
any crop on Mrs. Cheeks farm. OF
course they took a good deal Of labor
and time and worry. but the pathway
to success is paved with worry and
labor and trouble. Mrs. Cheek mar
keted half of her turkeys at Thanks
giving and the remainder for the
Christmas market.
