Candidates Coming Up
All Over County,
F. S. WILLIAMS OF BARRE
Also NJ. N. Gordon and c. L. Moody
Candidates For States Attorney.
Candidates For Senator's.

This Is a late season late in more ways
than 0ne-but the special lateness TO
which The Times here refers to is that in
political matters. This lateness, however,
does not promise 70 interfere with the crop
Of political candidates. This is especial
ly true Of candidates for county Offices, of
which there are now enough to liH all the
Offices three times round.
The most important county office is that
Of states attorney. There are already
three candidates for this Frank s. viii
iams and Matthew H. Gordon OF Barre
and G, +. Moody Of Waterbury As the
Barre caucus will probably eliminate
one Of the two Barre candidates it is prob
able that there will be but two candidates
before the convention, though it Is barely
possible there may be a candidate from
Montpelier
The candidate most likely to receive the
support Of the Barre delegation is Frank
S. Williams. Mr. Williams is hard
working young lawyer, who has made his
own way against many obstacles He was

A FOX FARM in woODFoRD.

Deputy Sheriff Godfrey of Bennington to
Raise the Alaskan Variety.
Bennington, April Deputy Sheriff
Fred Godfrey, who recently purchased a
twelve acre lot in Woodford, has decided
to turn the place into place for the prop
agation Of the blue, or Alaskan foxes, a
type Of animal that is coming very much
into prominence because OF the value Of
the fur which ranks next to the silver gray
fox. They propagate quite rapidly, and
some litters Of young have been known to
number as many as eleven.
There Is one establishment Of the kind
ia the state and the demand for the furs
Is largely Ia excess Of the supply. Each
skin Is valued at from $40 to So.

Ina Prairie Land.
Editorial correspondence


Moose Jaw, Assiniboia.
Farmers Review, Chicago, July %,
1909
Most OF the prairies in the United
States have ceased to exist. Man has
broken them up with orchards, for
ests and farm buildings. But in West
ern Canada the prairies still stretch
grandly from horizon to horizon as yet
unmarried by the hand of man. save
where the iron road has been laid. To
a city man there is something deli
ciously restful about the vast grassy
solitudes.
Numerous clumps of trees mark the
course OF the Assiniboine River, which
keeps In sight OF the railroad for some
distance.
"Grass Is one of the notable things
about all the landscape of Western
Canada. 1t is a remarkable fact that
the entire length of the Canadian Pa
cific Railway from its eastern termi-
nus to the Rocky Mountains is over
plains where grass grows. The sage
brush appears at some points, but
never to the exclusion OF grass. There
is thus not a mile of this country that
cannot be used for some agricultural
purpose-either for tilling or ranch
ing.
Moose Jaw is town Of over 1000
inhabitants and one of the most i'm
portant places in Assiniboia, being the
center Of a very good farming country
and a great grain and stock shipping
point.
"Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
ranching go hand in hand; for near
the town was seen a herd of beef cat
tie several hundred in number. On
another side was seen a good sized
herd OF dairy cows. the property Of
the citizens in the town.
'In riding over the prairies we saw
many good fields of alfalfa. The great
need OF the country is timber, which
grows readily where planted, as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts on
some OF the farms and the trees on
the residence lots in the town.
'Stories were told the writer OF men
who last year cleared from their wheat
crop more than the land on which IL
was grown originally cost them. This
is easy to believe in view of the large
crop and high price for wheat last
year."-Henry f. Thurston.
By sending your address to any
agent Of the Canadian Government you
will have mailed to you a copy OF an
Atlas, railway rates, etc, giving full
est information regarding Western
Canada

FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY.
Frauds in Watch Cases.


According 20 an article IN the Cincinnati
Commercial, a nfty-one pound stone was
recently found IN that city secreted In q
bale OF hay OF eighty pounds.
This Is not as bad as finding a lump Of
lead Of nearly one-hah the weight Of the
solid gold watch case secreted In the CEN
ter Of the case
Gold watch cases are sold by weight, and
no one can see where this lead is secrsted
until the springs OF the case are taken out
and the lead viii be found secreted behind
them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess 20 be honest but furnish the means
90 the dishonest 20 rob the public. IL Ia
not pleasant for anyone 20 find that he has
luEged a lump OF lead In his watch case
Another trick the makers OF spurious
solid gold watch cases Is 20 stamp the case
~. s. Assay" The United States does
not stamp any article made out OF gold
and silver except coin, and the fakir, by
using this stamp, wants 20 make the pub
lie believe that the govarnment had some
thing 10 do with the stamping or guaran-
teeIng the ineness OF watch cases.
Another trick OF the watch fakir IL 70
advertise a watch described as a solid geld
filled watch with a twenty or twenty-five
year guarantee. These watches are gen
orally sent c. O. D., and II the purchaser
has paid for the watch he finds that the
Company which guaranteed the watch TO
wear Is not IN existence.
The Dueber-Hampden Watch Company,
OF Canton, Ohio. who are constantly ex-
posing these frauds. win furnish the
names OF the manufacturers who are In
this questionable business.

BITTERs OF LITTLE VALUE.
Only in Exceptional Cases are They
Beneficial to the Stomach.

Only in Exceptional Cases are They
Beneficial to the Stomach.
London Lancet-What is the logic
of the bitter appetizers that are COM
monty taken just before the heavy
meals of the day, both in this coun-
try and abroad? The object is APP
parently to stimulate the secretion OF
gastric juice, but it has been suggested
that il would be more physiological
to make use of a small quantity or
alkali instead, as that is known TO
exercise a favorable influence upon
peptic secretion.
The chief objections TO the use OF
bitters have been based on researches
by Tchelzov, who found that the adj
ministration of large doses OF quas-
STA hindered rather than helped the
digestive process.
1t is concluded, therefore, that these
substances have the power of render
ing gustatory sensations more acute
and of exercising a temporary stimu-
liant effect upon gastric secretions;
for this purpose they should be given
Immediately before the meal in small
doses and in the form of tincture (ten
TO twenty drops) rather than cachets
or pills. We may remark upon this
that the habit is obviously susceptible
of abuse, particularly when, as is
of abuse, particularly when, as is
usually the case, some strong alcoholic
liquor is used as the vehicle OF the
bitter AS a matter of fact, such a
stimulant action is the real function
which is intended to be subserved by
the soup which is taken at the begin
ming of a meal. There is a tendency
TO consume this in somewhat large
quantity; in such cases it tends to be
harmful rather than conducive to di-
gestion, but there can be no doubt, on
the other hand, that the use of a
tablespoonful or two of a hot and
sapid fluid at the beginning of a meal
is an excellent means OF giving the
stomach fair start in the performance
OF it's functions.
