THE MORTGAGE HAD HIM.

While we do not know the mans
name and did not see the cliattel mort.
gage, we have not the least doubt but
there was one with this place in its
grip. All the farm tools were left out
in the fields-mower, reaper, plow, rake,
hay loader. Three stacks of grain were
still unthrashed in February. We learn
ed that few years ago the owner had
been left the farm by his father clear
of incumbrance. This young man had
liking for low life in the town-beer
guzzling, pool and poker and the like
and in five years he landed at the bot
tom minus reputation, credit, money,
the respect of his neighbors and all that
makes life worth living. He was stay
ing the year of redemption out on the
place, and then the end must come.
Pity goes out to the little wife and
children whom a hard fate compels to
share all this misery.

Two Prominent Candidates.

In another column we publish a
cut and sketch of Hon +. W. Bald
win of Barton. Mr.. Baldwin is a
candidate for Lieutenant Governor
and should he be given the nomina alton
and elected, he would no doubt fill
the office with entire credit to the
state. He has had considerable
experience as a presiding officer and
has always discharged the duties of
the office well and to the entire salts
faction of his colleagues. Mr. Bald.
wins candidacy has particular local
interest because his son, who is now
principal of Bradford academy, has
during the past three years been
trainer for the high school athletic
team.
Probably the most prominent
candidate for Auditor on the Repub-
ican ticket is Horace w. Bailey of
Newbury. One of his enthusiastic
friends writes, He will make an aud
itor who will audit. His work will
be done promptly, it will give every
man who has a just claim against
the state his money when it is due,
it will give a cent to no one who is
not entitled to it under the law.
Vermont needs such an Auditor. -

A Good Word for Candidate Jackson.

JEFFERsoNvILLE, VT, June 2, 1902.
Editor News AND CITIZEN Il amoille
County has many men that would we'll
and ably fill the position of Senator,
but Cambridge's sentiment is very
strong for H. A. Jackson of Waterville,
a man of excellent qualities, large
hearted and free handed in all that
make society better. Mr.. Jackson has
been known here about fifteen years and
has done more or less business all over
the county in that time, during which
he has built up a reputation of an
honest, thorough going and energetic
man.
During the freshet of 1897, one of our
citizens had his mill and machinery
nearly all washed away. Mr.. Jackson
loaned him money to rebuild and placed
him on his feet. Again and since then
a large and profitable business has been
done and to-day that same man owns
his mill, stock and machinery, all be-
cause Mr.. Jackson had faith and was
ready to help an honest, poor man. Mr..
Jackson is more than liberal to the soci-
ETY. and churches in his own town. He
has served two terms in the lower House
and is fitted up into the Senate. If he
is elected Senator, he will look to any
matter that Cambridge or any other
town in the county may present to him.
Not often has Waterville asked for
any county Office, but we believe that
her claim now is right. She has a
strong man to present and this side of
the county, wo believe, will indorse Mr..
Jackson. CAMBRIDGE.

States Attorney.

The question who is to be our next
States Attorney is receiving con-
siderable attention just now. For
several months it was generally sup
posed that Col. E. B. Sawyer, the
old-time lawyer, would be given this
honor without any special opposi-
ton. The Lamoille County bar has
been practically unanimous for him
fact which ought and should have
considerable weight with the people
at large. The name off. G. Bicknell,
of Johnson has also been mentioned.
He is presented because it has been
the custom to pass the office around
among the younger attorneys and
also because the town of Johnson
has never had a States Attorney.
The friends of Col. Sawyer argue
that Bicknell is a young man both in
age and in years of legal experience
and can well afford to wait couple
of years.
For a few days past it was whis-
pered that T. c. Cheney the present
incumbent would like another term
and it looked as if there might be
movement in his behalf We have
assurances however that Mr.. Cheney
is not a candidate and has so advised
his friends. This leaves the contest,
if a contest it may be called, between
the Colonel and Bicknell. We believe
however that the friends of Mr..
Bicknell will not press his claim at
this time, but leave the field clear for
Col. Sawyer, whose age, ability and
experience well fit him for this i'm
portant office.

CEREAL GOODS.

This is for the ladies, the good cooks
and mothers who take pride in prepar-
ing palatable and nutritious foods for
their families. The cereal breakfast
foods-oatmeal, wheat, corn and rice
as prepared in a hundred and one diff
ferent forms for table use are starch
foods largely. AS generally prepared
for the table these foods are seldom
cooked long enough, no matter what
the printed directions may say on the
wrapper about being prepared in five
or ten minutes. This imperfect cook
ing makes such foods more or less
indigestible. If any cook will cook
these foods in double boiler for five
or six hours the day before they are to
be used and warm them up for break
fast, they will be surprised how great
ly they will be improved in flavor and
digestibility. Just give this a trial and

hsrhe statistician Of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington has
completed his estimate of the cereal
crops for 1901. The values of the
leading grain products are fixed as
follows: Corn, 1 ,522, 500, 861 bush
els, 1921, 555, 768; wheat, 748, AGO,
219 bushels, $467, 35O,156; oats,
736,8O9, 724 bushels, $293,659, IT..
The figures for 1900 were: Corn, q
1O5, 102, SIG bu shells, $751;, 72O,o34 ;
wheat, 522, 229,5 bushels, 1929,
515,177; oats, 500, i25, 9S9 bushels,
$2OS, 669,233. Short crops some
times mean better returns than big
ones, as will be seen by the much
higher value of last years crop COM
pared with that ofthe bigger yield of
of 1900.
