New York Hop Growers Organize.

OFFICE OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,
HOP GROWERS ASSOCIATION,
VAUDEVILLE, N. Y, March 10, 1898.
To THE EDITOR YAKIMA HERALD:
We beg to hand you herewith an &C.
count of the meeting OF hop growers held
in the city OF Utica on February %, 1903,
representatives from the hop-growing
counties all over the state being present.
An executive committee OF seven were
appointed from the different counties,
who will have entire charge of the plan
OF operation, ami will be assisted in their
work by sub committee in each of the
different towns. There has never been q
more systematic and thorough organiza-
ton of hop growers and holders. The
object OF the association is the mutual
protection of holders. and regulation OF
prices. At the commencement OF each
season for the past few years an uncalled
for and desperate "bear movement" has
been inaugurated by certain class Of
men known as ''short sellers" who, mas
querading under the name OF dealers, so
out among the brewers and sell the
growers hops "short" at low prices, re-
CARELESS of the statistical position or sup
ply and demand. This has been con-
stantly growing evil, and the farmers
have been a long-sufering and patient
class under this burden until 1t has come
to point where patience ceases to be a
virtue, and the farmer has only one rem
edy-thorough and complete organization.
The association takes pleasure in saying
that there are still some legitimate deal
ers in trade, to whom the thanks of the
association arc due for the firm stand
they have taken against the short
sellers" The association wish it dis
tinctly understood that this is not a
movement against brewers, as it is fact
well known to many members OF the asso-
citation that the brewers as class are,
and always have been, willing to pay the
hop farmer fair price for his product.
The brewers and hop farmers interests
are so closely allied that no other view
could be consistent with harmony, and,
moreover, in the case Of "short" sales
by dealers to brewers, the price is already
fixed to the brewer, and the dealer who
sells short is the party who gets the ben
eft of the forced depression of the market,
to prevent which artificial depression this
association is formed. A bureau of in
formation has been established, consist
ing of different representatives in each
town and county in the state, who viii
report regularly to the office of the ex'
ecutive committee all sales and othel
statistical reports. All members of the
association will be furnished REGULAR.
with these reports. We call upon al
growers, both in New York state and Oh
the Pacific coast, whether holders or not
to aid and cooperate with US in carrying
out the plans of the association, as it:
aims and objects are not only of vital i'm
portsnce to present holders, but also
greatly concern the future prosperity o
every hop grower in the country.

while Its double daily passenger train

and number of rooms each will have to
spare. The book also gives list of the
hotels and their locations has twelve
full-page large-scale maps, each repre-
senting section of the city, so that with
this information before him the intend
ing visitor himself can, at leisure, select
the quarter of the city in which he would
prefer to stop, corresponding IN ADVANCE
with one or more families in that locality
with regard to rates and the accommoda-
tons desired. A. d. CHARLTON,

There would be little use in my de-

and the couI Sc ofintermltteat drinking,
says writer in the National Review,

various methods in use to check or cure
the disease. 1t may be asked, "Has
not man a will power, and can he not
OF his own yolltion abstain from what
he knows to be SIMPLY sclt-destruC-
ton ~ My answer, unhappily, must
be that q man who has once fairly
fallen into the drink habit, whether
constant or intermittent, has scarcely
any will power while the tit - on him,

he Is too.prone u forget the danger.
The intermittent drinker, as soon rs
he has abstained for few weeks, for
gets the disastrous effects OF his last
attack. lie believes himself as tom
perate and discreet man as any OF his
friends who takes his pint bottle OF
clarCt at dinner and seldom takes
more. He does not see why he should
not do likewise. 1t is the hardest thing
to convince an intermittent drunkard,
who Is able TO abstain for a period, that
he can never by any chance become a
moderate drinker Nevertheless, the
principle of his drinking is distinct from
that o. a moderate man. If he tries to
return to hIs two or three glasses OF

clearly make up his mind that it must
be total abstinence or self-destruction-

'Americans sweeten their tea and

Ladies at the theater in America
