OPEN SALOON AND SAVINGS BANKS
Nrnrn the Nnrthfrld NcNsN

The Vermont Issue. the organ of the
Vermont Anti-Saloon organization calls
attention to the rather surprising fact
that there are very few savings banks
in northern New York. In Malone with
Il population OF 6000. there is no savings
institution: in St. Lawrence county there
is not a savings bank, although there are
large towrs in the county, including
Ogdensburgh, with over 1900 popula-
ton. Think of a town twice the size Of
Montpelier without single savings
bank. The savings bank is an iustitu-
ton more particularly designed tor
smaller savings among a thrifty people
and the inference is that there is no de-
inand .or them in ST. Lawrence county.
The open saloon is feature of ma
Jority if not all the towns in that county.
If this does not explain why there is no
demand for savings institutions there,
perhaps some one will enlighten us as
to the true reason.

DR.. OHAGE is LOOKING
FOR SUPT. DOW SMITH
A Smoking Chimney Is the Cause of
of the Doctors
Pursuit.

Anyone knowing the whereabouts of
Supt. Dow Smith. of the city railway
company, will confer a favor by notify
ing DR.. Ohage, of the health department.
At the instigation of the department a
warrant for his arrest was, sworn out
yesterday, and it now reposes in the
pocket of an officer awaiting service.
Supt. Smiths offense is that he per-
mits the chimney attached to th3 big
street car power house on Hill street to
smoke, and that in spite of repeated
warnings to stop it given by the health
department.
As a violator of the smoke ordinance
the street railway company has been
most persistent, according to DR.. Ohage.
and he now says he will ask the courts
to infict the limit of penalty. Supt.
Smith, as the colnpany's representative,
has already paid two fines amounting to
about $125 ana has figured in the police
court on no fewer than five occasions, en-
two of which he was released on a
promise to sin no more.
DR.. Ohage is keeping two smoke in
spectorS busy just now and the result of
their work in the past two weeks is a
cabinet full of tell-tale pictures and sew
eral note books containing dates and
other information. Warning letters are
being sent out daily and when they are
not respected warrants follow.

FARMERS TO DISCUSS
CURRENT PROBLEMS
Programme of National Congress
in Session at Macon,
Georgia.

Dairy Commissioner Mcconnell yester-
day received the following circular from
]. H. Nichcis treasurer of the Farmers
National congress, calling attention to
the programme for the annual meeting at
Macon, Ca, in October:
1t is quite probable that the farmers
generally do not fully realize the scope
and extent Of the Farmers National con-
gress, as otherwise they would take Il
much deeper interest in it. The topics
discussed are more particularly those OF
a national or international character,
quite different from what is generally on
the programmes at farmers Institutes
The following lis copy. of the pro-
grammee for the 1902, meeting:
J. interOceanicJ canal; 2, national irri-
CATION 8, reciprocity-how may it affect
AGRICULTURAL interests? 4, effect of pres
ent insular possessions on the agricul-
ture of the United States; 5, preserva-
ton of forest and fruit trees and refor-
estation 6, injurious insects, insect pests
ana fungi; Z, what part OF man, farm
does he sell when he sells the crop? g.,
postal reforms particularly affecting the
farmer; 8, mutual relations of Northern
and Southern farms; TO, dairy interests
of the United States as related to the
markets of the world; H. farm products
other than dairy products in the markets
of the world; y, the labor problem from
the farmers standpoint; Is, how can we
pest Du1Id up our merchant marine!
The Farmers National congress is
made up of delegates and associate dele
gates appointed by the governors of each
state. Every governor appoints as many
delegates as the state he's representa-
tives in both houses Of congress, and as
many associate delegate as he chooses
The meeting will be held at Macon,
Ca, Oct 7-10, and the people of that
city will give a hearty welcome to all
who attend
The Southeastern Passenger association
has granted rate of one fare for round
trip, and there is fair indication that
the other passenger associations will
make better than excursion rate
The men who will be invited to take
part in the programme will be the
choicest that can be selected, and each
one will be an acknowledged leader in
his line. Isn't it about time the farmers
took a practical hand in helping to solve
the problems that pertain to their own
affairs?
We hope to have at least LOCO delegates,
associate delegates and visitors
