WORDS TO OUN MEN
THIS PAPER

I want my efforts towards the Uni
que Homestead plan to become a sue
cess. Pm frank about it. My ambi-
ton becomes stronger as intellectual
people tell me I am worthy every lift
I've asked to press forward. You can
help me, and at the same time a goodly
number of you will be owinga your
own selves more of a favor if you COM
ply. How would it go to set aside the
usual amount you put into cigarettes
ETC. for a stated time and subscribe
the same to the Unique Homestead
fund? Very likely most of o will
give a hearty Ha, Ha, Ha and say nit

up to the rack for a second thought.

c. T. u. COLUMN.
THE DISADVANTAGES OF LOCAL
OPTION.

The theory of local option, that the
ocal vote does away with the evils
which formerly existed under state
prohibition, has been under practical
observation for five years and loyal
Vermonters are now taking notes OF
results. / believe the law has failed
utterly to effect the reforms promised
by it's advocates, because it does not
bring business to Vermont other than
the rum business, nor improve the
business already established, but on
the contrary is calculated only to pre-
vent the former and menac the latter.
1t has failed to attract summer people.
1t has failed to diminish the crime OF
perjury in defense of liquor sellers,
except so far as. it has failed to secure
their prosecution. 1t has failed to
close the low dives, it has failed to
stop the expires package business, 1t
illustrates more option than it accom-
plishes.
The law is responsible for the owe
crowding of our jails and state
workhouse. The superintendent OF
the Vermont state prison at Windsor
estimates that 80 per cent of the in
mates there come because of rum.
Superintendent Morgan of the house
of correction at Rutland says: 1.-The
average annual Of commitments to the
house of correction and county jail IN
Rutland for the last rs years to the
time of the adoption of local option
was $50; since local option it has
been almost 1000 annually"
Under this law you can arrest a mar
for being drunk but you cannot compel
him to tell where he got his liquor.
He who favors local option should
remember that drunkenness is largely
with the same "Old Reporters and
under the law the penalty for fur
nishing" such is THIRTY TIMES
LARGER THAN 1T USED TO BE
and also involves the loss of a valuable
license. Does not the local optlonlst
realize the licensees are looking after
these things now by guarding against
arrest of DRINKS?
If the national Congress will now
give US legislation which will prevent
the liquor interests multiplying state
laws under the very cover of the con-
stitution, by shipping liquor into pro-
hibition districts under the privilege
of interstate commerce. it will be
doing only it's palpable duty, and will
help clinch forever the spike that has
been driven in runs coffin.

Fertilizers for Summer and
Fall ~Top-Dressing and
Seeding Down.

Up-to-date farmers are agreed that
IN many cases better results are OBJ
tanned on meadows from fertilizers
which are applied in the summer or
early fall. This is true both as to top
dressing and seeding-down.
We wish to call the attention of the
farmers Of Vermont to the fact that
We can furnish formulas for mixing
fertilizers especially adapted to top
dressing and seeding-down grass land.
These formulas have not only been ap-
proved by the Vermont Experiment
Station. but have been used with K
cellent results by a great many farm
ers IN Vermont and have proved thor
oughiy reliable. We can also furnish
the materials for mixing fertilizers in
accordance with these formulas. We
should be pleased to send the formulas
together with full directions for mix
ing, cost of materials, ETC., to any one
who Will write as, mentioning this pa

NOTES..

Shall our missionary enterprise equal
that of Satan? He has a brewery IN
Jerusalem, a distillery on Mt. Lebanon
and American saloons in Damascus.
In Knoxville, Tenn, during the
month of March. 1907, with open
saloons, there were eight murders, II
felonious assaults, IS cases of larceny,
and 10 robberies. With saloons closed,
in March. 1908, there were two muir
ders, seven assaults, Al larceny cases
and no robberies.
The quiet since the recent election
in Delaware seems like calm after
storm, but the people have not ceased
working for the complete overthrow
of the liquor traffic in the state. The
three annual county w. c. T. U. con-
ventions, while sounding a note Of vic

LYDIA e. PINKHHM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
OF women or received so many gen.
ulne testimonials as has Lydia E..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost everv
me you meet has either been bene-
hted by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any wOmananydaymay
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
d. P1nkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E.. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to a healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
Z. Pmkham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.

make himself believe they are no good
that he can better talk to,the people.
As proof that part Of his talk was
without foundation, we refer you to the
story in this paper giving an account
of the lands that have been freed by
the government and for which patents
have been allowed.
Honestjohn also said "There is
no prospecting being done in Colora-
do today" ANY miner in the state
knows that statement to be absolutely
without foundation. As an example
we refer you to New Castle.
"Honestjohn" failed to mention ths
sugar beet question and just why he
should ignore this is puzzling the farm
ers that heard of his talk.
C. J. Hughes made long talk in
which he seemed to feel sorry that
the $4,000 special was made necessary
this campaign. Must. be that "Chaw-
ley" is putting up the long green for
this train. He scored Taft, but never
denied the statement above as taken
from the Avalanche.
Mrs. Katherine Cook Of Adams coun-
ty, and who is we'll known by the la
dies Of the Democratic party, spoke
"Just Five Minutes" and then sat
down.
She seemed to think she would be
the whole state land board after the
election, but there are many who fear
.. she will not even get her place in the
punch.
Senator E. T. Taylor Of this city
was with the train, bnt did not make
talk. He was present in the opera
house, however.
Well, the $4,000 special known as
the "standard Oil Special" has come
and gone and the people Of Glenwood
now know where the state committee
of the Democratic party has been
spending the money they send in.
Either the Democrats at large are pay
ing the bill or C. J. Hughes, the Den
yer corporation tool, is doing the long
green act.
Hughes said the bosses had taken
the people into their confidence in the
Pueblo convention, but with him, on
the ticket. people ask, "Shan the peo-
| pie rulef"

In looking over the Republicans of
the county, who could ably fill the place
of courty surveyor, it Was soor seen
that the man that has all the qualifica-

of Divide Creek. He IS young man
and thoroughly posted in the work ie
will be called upon to do. He has IT,,
good will of the entire people that
know him and as he is young man,
his future life will see MIN adding to
this list. He has been faithful in
everything given to him to do by both
Democratic and Republican friends and
wL;lc the Office il considered by come
to be of minor importance, to c. B. E..
skif it will be one that will receive his
most careful attention. He believes
that it is just as much his duty to be
faithful in small things as it is to be
faithful in the greatest matters and
a vote for him will be a vote for
a young man that will do his duty at
every jump in the road.

things that are needed. but which other
men have failed to get. He stands for
the right in all matters and his sharpest
tongued enemies cannot say a word
against him.
Noto only will C. J. Shideler attend
to the matters Of direct interest to the
people Of this county, but he will cast
= vote against G. J. Hughes, the Dem
ocratic aspirant for the United tsates
senate, and the man that Garfield
county Democrats do not want in the
place he seeks. :"
As a representative, Mr.. Shideler will
devote his time to the work reuired by
his people in Garfield county. He will
lay aside party politics and work for
the upbuilding of the entire county aud
people who are best acquainted with
him are willing to trust him. Give him
your vote and thus assist in the defeat
of c. J.. H, ghes, the Denver corpora

accord, they are for him.
In Pitkin county and especially Ia
Aspen, he is greeted with "Judge we
are for you TO the last and will work
for your election" This sort Of talk
coming as it does from his Democratic
admirers has already caused consterna-

never yet received knock from his
most careful critics.
Mr.. Weir is today travelling over the
country seeing his host of friends. He
mas them in every section Of the coun,
try and when the votes are counted in
November, John R. Weir will have l.
goodly majority over his opponent.
Mr.. Weir is asking for the second
term and the people Of this county
have found him so faithful in the first
term that they agree there is no reason
for changing this year. They with one
accord, announce their intention of sup
porting him for another term and say
Gle deserves it for he has dealt hon
estly with the people Of the county"
Many of his friends are found in the
Democratic ranks and that Is certainly
compliment that any man would feel
proud of. If the Democrats as we'll
as tho Republicans of a county like q

that man has done his duty above cri-

A. l. BRARDsLEY.

Judge" Beardsley, as all call him,
has made q county Official that this
county is proud of. His New Castle
friends, and they are legion, aell him
their own, but the people Of other sec
tions of the county claim hom for they
know he is true to the county in mat
ters brought before him. AS a student
of law, he is careful and painstaking.
He never jumps into a case without
first convincing himself that there is
reason beenath it. he has saved the
county much money just by such care
full management and the people know
it.
1t is true, there are many courts that
stir up strife in their county that they
may have more to do and thus get
more money, but Judge Beardsley is
not of that stripe. He attends to the
matters brought before him in y
thoroughly business like manner and
with as little expense to the parties
concerned as is possible.
Judge Beardsley asks your suffrage
at the November election and he de-
serves it.
