Was Once a Luxury.
Celery was once fall and winter
luxury associated with turkey and
cranberry sauce, but now 1t is eaten

big business. Most Of the commercial
crop is grown in the region Of the
Great Lakes, and also In! New Jersey
and Massachusetts in Florida and in
{ California. The muck soils Of the

The Profits in Gas olene.

Whenever a9protest is raised about
the increase in the price Of gasolene
explanations abundant and plausible
rae furnished dthe price Of the
commodity remains nearly 100 per
cent greater than it was ten years
ago. Since Arnistice Day, in 1918,
automobiles have, fallen in price to
the pre-war basis, but the fuel that
they consume has been not greatly
affected by the return to peace con-
ditions. When gasolene prices were
last spring committee OF
investigation was appointed by the
United States senate, but, if it OBJ
tained substantial result, we are not
informed Of it, Prices have dropped
two cents or more in the last two
or three months but no connection
between this small relief and the ac-
ton Of the senate has been establish.
ed. Gaso1ene prices are maintained
in general at approximately the war.
level, however, they appear to be sub
iect toifuctuation within limits Of a
few cents. The user of gasolene can
scarcely avoid tthe conclusion that.
the great producing companies have
adopted the plan Of demanding all
that they can get for it, Of adjusting
the price to the points that the traf-
fc will bear.
# Last week the Standard Oil com
pany of New York notified it's stock
holders that it was ready to- declare,
a stock dividend Of 200 per cent,
December i, increasing its capitaliza-.
ton from s75, 100000 to ss25,ooo1I-
900.
In June, 1913, the same company
issued a stock dividend increasing its
capital from SIS, 100000 to $75,-
100000. The swift and sudden in
crease in the consumption Of gasolene-
by automobiles id the years preceYd1--.
ing 1913 possibly justified that issue.
III those days, the prices of the com
modify ranged between II and IA
cents, which seemed a reasonable fig
ure.
With gasolene retailing at 26.
cents or 27 cents a gallon four years
after the war, one must be astonish-

!RootIegger TO he { Gang.


The policy of sentencing boot
to the chain gang, upon con-
.yiction Of Illicit trading IN whiskey,
lis apparently becoming more and
more popular with the judges Of
South Carolina. This should have q,
salutary effect upon the bootlegging
| industry, and perhaps in time, may
result in making tia bit unpleasant:
for the ootlegger to ply his trade.
There are at least two things need
| ed;S however, to siren gthen4 the still
somewhat frails net that is being cast
around the rum runners and liquor
sellers. W. need, in the first place,
a stronger public sentiment against
the business, and we need speedier
court chinery for handling the
cases with dispatch when they are
brought up. II 5
While a comp tiyely few boot
|leggers are given jail or chaingang
ntences at any given term Of court,
one generally gse finds that the docket
lis 81 congested that numerous other
cases are continued until4a later
term. With. SO many cases being
brought, the bootlegge ger stands a good
chance Of having his case continued,
and continued again, until eventual
|ly5 some. Of the princ cipal witnesses
drop from sight or else the case for
some other reason has to be mol
pressed. and in the meantime, he is
continuing his nefarious trade. This
lis particularly true in our federal
courts, where enormous dockets are
now Found to be composed principal
|ly 81, whiskey leases. Some Of the
counties have county courts, and
these are doing good work in taking
care Of the so-caled minor cases.
IL we are to prosecute bootleggers
as they should be prosecuted, we
must have ample court machinery to
do So. BY handling all cases speedily,
and sending the guilty ones to the
gang, without the alternative of a
fine, the bootlegging trade can { even We
tually be reduced to a minimum.
Sentiment Of the people at large,
of course, must be with the prose-
cution Of these liquor dealers, or the
officers efforts will be of little avail.
There; is, of course, "a sentiment at
present against the ootlegger, but
lit is not as strong, nor as general as
it should be. We should strive by ev--:
cry means to Strengthen it, and put
bootleggingt into despised class Of
criminals, 5in' the regard Of the peo-,
pie at large. "A day Or 50 ago, The
News carried a, a news item showing
where q private citizen had brought
Ito the prohibition officers evid ensce. i,
which he regarde as sufficient to
consviict two men Of bootlegging. i

81 YEARS POSTMASTER.
A. L. Hale Began Serving Patrons at
Benson Landing in 1870.

Benson Landing, Nov 2s.-A l.,
Hale, an aged resident here, is round
ing out his SD year as postmaster at
Benson Landing, and says he believes
he il one of the oldest, If not the old
est postmaster, in point OF service, IN
Vermont.
Postmaster Hale went into office in
1870, under Grants administration, and
has been sorting mail and serving the
needs of his patrons steadily ever since.
Although now there are but ten or a
dozen who call at the Benson Landing
postofiice for their mail, things were
different back in the seventies. That
was when steamers brought Uncle
Sans mail pouches to the little ham,
let on the shore of Lake Champlain,
before the construction of the Della
ware 4 Hudson railroad on the New
York side, and when lumberladen
craft piled the lake waters, unloading
their cargoes at Benson Landing for
reshipment to points south.
In those days Benson Landing was a
distributing station for both Benson,
VT, and Putnam Station, n. r., just
across the lake. Ever since the con-
struction of the railroad, which brought
the region in closer touch with the out
side world, Postmaster Hale says one
of his hardest jobs has been that of
helping to keep open pathway across
the lake with the coming of cold
weather so that boat which carries
mail back and forth could make its
regular trips until the ice got thick
enough to walk upon.
