the president Of the organization, X.
r. MacRea Of Castleton Corners, and
himself the owner Of an orchard of
$4,000 trees, told the apple growers OF
Vermont that they have most serious
competition from the orchardists OF
the state Of Washington and that they
might as well recognize that fact to
the extent of improving their crops
and enlarging their markets. He said
that there was great demand in New
York for Vermont-raised apples, but
the apples must be Of "a class and
packed in approved manner. Mr.. Mac
Rea gave it as his opinion that Yer
mont apples are able to compete with
the western fruit successfully if YER
mont growers pay more attention to
their orchards and the gathering Of the
fruit. Several ventures which have
gone far beyond the experimental
stage have already demonstrated the
truth Of the statement; there Is no
need to 20 TO western New York, to
Virginia or to the far northwest in
order to raise apples of the "A va
riety. Vermonters can raise such ap
pies right at home and, after raising
them, have the advantage of short
haul to the New York City market or
to some other of the many large cit
les easily reached from Vermont, in
contrast to the long haul across the
continent from the state of Washing
ton. 1t is strange, indeed, that there
has been practically no apple tree
planting in Vermont during the last
seven or eight years, as Mr.. MacRea
stalls. To be sure, something besides
is necessary in order to
make a successful venture; but per
severance, as Mr.. MacRea points out,
can accomplish wonderful things. Yer
mont ought to be as famous for its
apples as it is for its granite, its mar
BILE, its maple sugar and its butter and
milk, along with other products.

Where Are the Lights on Teams7

Editor, Barre Times: We often
speak of the above as we travel
through the country in an auto, and
1t was brought quite forcibly to our
mind last Saturday evening, on our
way from Chelsea to Barre City.
As We went down the hill. nearly
to Washington village, we saw PEE
destrian coming up, carrying lam
tern. The driver was watching him,
and as we got just past him, the driy-
er happened TO see a team on his left,
even with the front wheel. They were
without light, and had evidently
kept to the side Of the road, out Of
the rays Of the auto lights. BY quick
work, we passed them safely, but from
there to the city, we met six more
teams, three double teams, and two
single teams, without lights, end just
one team carrying light.
If they could see how careless il
looks from the autoist's point Of view
they would certainly carry that one
light to attract his attention, for he
doesn't know whether it is team or
a one-eyed car, coming and will in
variably slow down. But when they
drive to one side Of the road, out of
the rays of the headlights, the driver
cannot see them until directly oppo-
site; then ii there Is smash up, and
someone badly hurt, the autoist gets
all the blame. Safety first, please
An autoist.

Methods of thief detection tried in
Dummerston, though effective, are not
recommended for general use. A resi-
dent of that town who had been miss
ing wood from his pile loaded" one
particularly attractive chunk with
powder and waited results. He didn't
wait long. The chunk Of wood disap-
peared, and short time later a neigh
boris kitchen stove was blown into
scrap iron. Fortunately, no one was
injured and even the neighbours house
was not set afre; but the thief was
branded Enthusiastically. According to
the Brattleboro Reformer, the incident
recalls the days of our grandfathers
who sometimes took means of punish
ment into their own hands without
waiting for the slow processes of the
law. If death or serious injury had
been done through the blowing up of
the stove, the present incident might
have turned into a boomerang prose-
cution instead of just clever trick to
make a certain person the laughing
stock of the town. The latter posi-
bility ought TO be taken into consid-
Grafton by anyone disposed to repeat
or match the trick of the loaded
chunk of wood.

since the dormitory for them was nlled to Its capacity during the first week.
 Students Crowded Ont
 This condition has made the situa- ton at the university one of con- cern 10 every young woman in Ala hama and to every citizen. Already partial limitation of enrolment has been made, denying the right of a col lege education to fifty young women, and a similar limitation affecting noth young men and young women is threatened.
 The Million Dollar Campaign is for the purpose of keeping the doors of the University of Alabama open tC every student who desires to enter. Present needs of the university de4 mand the expenditure of S1.O00, 900 at once for the erection of additional buildings.
 Students at the university in all the classes, alumni of recent years and the old grads" citizens of Alabama whose children are now in high schools and will soon be ready for , college, and other citizens who desire the educational advance of their na- tive state and appreciate the value of cultural, and material enrichment of Alabama which will come from a greater uniyersity-all of these class es are united in support of the cam paign.
 United support by this great body of citizens and united appeal by them to the people of Alabama gener- ally are the factors which are counted upon to bring success to the cam qaign. With the active date of the campaign but few hours distant, final preparations are being com- plted while alumni and non-alumnl workers are standing ready for the signal.

prominent republican politicians and officeholders in the country.
 As matter of fact, It would not be surprising were the fight between democrats and republicans in New Jersey to degenerate into a prohibi- ton fight with all the oId-time mean ness and vituperation.
 Argument of Edwards
 The democrats have adopted R platform containing a plank adyocat- ing the legalizing of the sale of wine and beer. Governor Edwards con tends that relaxation respecting the prohibition laws must be accorded by the government to save the country. He holds that if every man and woman of voting age who violated the constitution either by selling or drinking, or by condoning such acts instead ofsreporting them to constl- tuted authorities, or by aiding in bringing the law into disrepute by tolerating ribald jokes on stage and screen, wore eliminated, the popula- ton of tho country would be entirely negative. He argues that such con dition will bring about contempt for all law. and sustRins his argument by indicating crime waves which continually sweep the country.
 Opposing thls argument Is that of Frelinghuysen to the effect that the majesty of tho law can be sustained only by making the law more rigor- ous. And he has admitted that his cellar Is well provided with stuff now contraband. It is an interesting struggle between two men on differ ent horns of the prohibition dilemma, neither of whom displays respect for prohibition.
 President Plays Fart
 The advantage seems to be with Frelinghuysen. He has the organiza- ton of the President behind him, and he has the Anti-Saloon League be- hind him. Edwards will alienate the William J. Bryan wing of tho demo- cratic party.
 On tho other hand, Edwards is a more aggressive and an abler oman thar Frelinghuysen, and his record as governor is good. His admin

 University. September sos-In every part of the state during the coming week the Million Dollar Campaign of the University of Alabama will he started, and hundreds of alumni and alumni workers will be united In 8 concerted effort for suc- cess
 Simultaneously in nearly every community in Alabama the alumni will assemble at dinners on Thurs day evening and teams will be ac- lively at work on Friday morning. From that time forward the campaign will advance in a widespread state wide movement until the goal of s1,000,0 Is reached.
 Every man and woman living in Alabama who has ever attended the state university is expected to be present at one of these dinners. and Thursday night is expected to be the greatest Alabama" rally in the his tory of the university.
 Faced with the most serious crisis In the 90 years of its existence, at the place in its development where expansion must be made without de- lay, seriously hampered already by excessive number of studeits, with an enrolment today of nearly 1900 students and with buildings de- signed for the accommodation of less than one-third of that number-the university has appealed to the peo- l pie of Alabama for assistance. Upon the success of the campaign l depends the future of the university and the future of higher education in Alabama. Already the alumni are responding to the call of their alma mater, and are planning to demon- strate their loyalty when the active campaign is started
 Montgomery Leads off
 The general campaign will be | opened in Montgomery and in Tus- caloosa in advance of the active date in the rest of the state. At the re- | quest of the local committees, Mon gomery will hold it's opening dinner and start its campaign on Monday night. Tuscaloosa. the home city of l the university, will follow on Tues day night, and the rest of the state will swing into line on Thursday night.

All though scattered, over the state, the various groups will be inspired by a common spirit of loyalty to their school and will be bound together by the same determination to win in the first state wide campaign their alma mater has ever made.
 | On the eve of the general campaign the necessity of constructing addi- | tiCnal buildings on the campus has I been made more apparent by the l steady increase in enrolment at the university. During the first week of the term HOO students were enrolled | and 1t was believed that a total of 1900 would be reached before the end of the yeear. Additional enroll ment during the past three weeks has brought the total 10 1887 students today, and it is now expected that 1900 will have been enrolled before the end of the year, if the university I is able to admit them.
 All of the increase in enrolment since the first week has been in men students. as it has been impossible to admit additional women students

 OVER NOMINATION
 OF FFREL|NGHUYSEN
But New Jersey Senator Must Yet Face Governor Ed wards at Polls in Fin
 iSh Fight
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-IIeraid,

Washington, September S0.-(Spe- cial.)-when the republicans, by an overwhelming majority, nominated Joseph Frellnghuysen to succeed himself as senator from New Jersey, the administration and the national republican committee were so great ly relieved that now they think all their clouds have rolled away.
 Their fear regarding Frelinghuy- sen. a warm friend of the President, was based on their knowledge of his record. He is "standpatter," blind follower of the administration, an ardent supporter of the Fordney Me cumber tariff legislation, and was one of those who retained Senator Newberry as member of the Sem ate.
 But the opponent of Fsrelinghuysen was radical with single idea, and that single Idea was the single tax. He believed himself so right that he felt he would be sustained by divine interposltion. And, therefore, 0 did not organize. On the other hand, Fre1inghuysen had an organization  sustained by the financial power of the national committee,
 Must Face Edwards
 Tho nomination of Frelinghuysen has no significance to democrats. But the republicans hold that it indicates administration strength along the en- tire Atlantic seaboard. Further they regard the Frellnghuysen vic- tory as proof that the threatened disruption in republican ranks has been composed. and that in the future Instead of waxing furious in blas- phemy, the rank and file of the or ganization will unite fin lofty peans
 The New Jersey song, however, Is yet to be sung. Frelinghuysen, with his record. must face Gov. Edward l Edwards. with his record. All that can be brought against Edwards is that he does not subscribe to tho Volstead brand of prohibition. Ir addition to what has been intimated Frelinghuysen can be charged with subscribing to Volsteadism and at the same time maintaining cellar SC well stocked with excellent wines and liquors that his home has become the favorlte rendezvous of the mosi
