Potatoes have been used for fuel in
New York State. What wonderful
luck the Empire State has had since
1898, when it's favorite GU son be-
came President. Now the farmers
don't have to bother hauling their
potatoes to market or to railroads.
The extent of their markets is con-
tracted by the closed factories and
low wages, and this saves the farmer
much labor, besides having to ad-
vance freight money. Think too Of
the advantage of growing ones own
fuel on ones own farm. What a
blow at the coal monopolists and the
labor they employ. Corn to burn,
potatoes to. burn, wheat for hogs.
Who wouldn't be a farmer during
Democratic Free Trade times?-

year ending June 80 will be approx
imately $25, 100000. The secretary
of the treasury estimated the receipts
from customs during the fiscal year

ceipts from miscellaneous sources are

Saturday morning. Plaintiff pays

This case occupied the attention of

in about twenty years. A small
army of witnesses were summoned,
and they were exposed to a fire of

bdholie NOuHty hOau COMMISSIONERS
The Road Commissioners of La
noble county met at the court house
in Hyde Park May 5 at 2 p. M, and
organized by electing for chairman
E. W. Manchester of Waterville and
O. M. George of Eden as secretary.
Discussions were held upon all the
different phases of road work. The
question was asked by the commits
sioner from johnson as to the most
practical and permanent way to re-
pair sand roads to better fit them for
heavy traffic. MIR. Barrows of Nor
ristown, one of the old veterans in
road work, was called upon to give
his views. In substance Mr. Barrows
said: 1st-prepare the road-bed with
the road machine by removing some
of the sand from the road; 2nd--
give the prepared bed from II to Is
inches of good gravel, working in the
coarse first and covering with a finer
grade. He believed in light coat of
clay on sand if gravel could not be
had. Very little discussion was had
on this subject, for Mr.. Barrows'
opinion seemed to be that of every
commissioner in the county.
The commissioners were also agreed
on the subject of applying coarse
gravel to clay for permanent i'm
provement. The question as to
how best apply the State money was
quite freely discussed, and the verdict
was for long stretches of heavy gravel
ing, as near as possible as the law
directs. Road machines were dis
cussed, and the favorite machine for
all work appeared to be the American
Champion; in fact that is about the
only machine used in Lamoille county.
Convention adjourned, to meet
again in August at the direction of
the State Highway Commissioners.
They are cordially invited to meet
with the county commissioners some
time in that month and hold a public
meeting and an exhibition of road
material and machinery, spiced with
essays and speeches on road work.
