County Politics

Indications now are that Their,
will be only contests for two office.
at the coming Republican County
Convention, to be held at Hyde
Park Friday, July Sd. They are
States Attorney and I'd Assistant
Judge. For the former, honcrs APP
pear to be about even. Each as.
pirant, Messrs. Tracy and Maurice,
are sanguine of victory and it now
looks as if the convention must de-
eide who shall have the nomination.
For I'd Assistant Judge it was at
first thought that J. E. Houston of
Stowe would be the man without
opposition, but he has informed us
that he is not a candidate for the
honor-that his business affairs are
such that he could not give the time
to the office and he must not be con-
>idered. He appreciates the honor,
but for these reasons he declines.
This leaves the place open and new
names are being considered. We
have a lot Of excellent men who
would lend dignity to the position
and sustain the worthy reputatio
of those who have heretofore filled
the place. Here are a few In Bel

for the place." and There are Others"

MAKING Macaroni.

Macaroni, vermicelli, stellette and
other paste foods originally made in
Italy are manufactured from kinds of
wheat which contain goodly per
cent of gluten. The -four obtained
from these kinds of wheat, when
mixed with water, forms a peculiar
dough. In America the mixing is
done by modern machinery and this
operation is followed by that of me-
chanical kneading, which results in
producing a firm, hard paste. The
-four is dumped into the mixing watts
by the sacl1ful and hot water by the
bucketful is added The stirring is
done by means of revolving machin-
cry in these watts. Then the dough is
rolled upon fat surface by large
stone or iron weight, which, like the
mixing machinery, revolves. The
kn aiding operation requires about
quarter of an hours time. Expert
enced Italians are, in many factories,
in charge of all the processes.
This firm, hard paste from the
kneader is removed to double cylin-
der presses in which it is forced
downward through copper dies. On
the size of these dies depend the size
an shape of the finished product.
Vermicelli comes from the press in
M strings or shreds. Sometimes
the strips of macaroni are five or six
feet long. Vermicelli may be but six
or eight inches in length. After COM
ing from the presses the strips are
placed on racks and then hurried
away to the drying rooms. The short
fancy shapes are dried and cured up
on trays Mechanical fans assist in
all drying operations. Before curing
the strips of macaroni are sometimes
placed beneath blankets to moisten
them.s This keeps them from subse-
quently cracking in the curing room.
There is steady increase in ,tha
demand for macaroni in the United
States. This increase does not come
wholly from among the foreigners.
but from Americans as well, who are
fast learning to like food which has
been universal among Italians for
centuries. There are numerous fac
tories in the United States using in
the neighborhood of fifty barrels of
flour a day in the manufacture of
paste food products.

TEA AN wDEAL. STiMULANT"
Contrary to Teachings, Great Drink
ers Show No lIl-effects.


Every little while mere is an out
cry against the practices OF tea and
coffee drinking. Lately it has been
alleged that the degeneracy observ-
ed in the lower classes of Great Brit
ain is largely due to the immense
quantity OF tea which is drunk in the
kingdom. Without any doubt, few
people do drink too much tea and
would be better without it. But tea
drinking, as in China, may be the sal
walton OF a people from much greater
evils The decoction has at least the
advantage of having been sterilized
by heat, and water drinking in China
has it's dangers, as many an old trav-
eler can testify. The immense guam
titles of tea used without apparent
damage by some of the most robust
peoples in the world other than the
Chinese, such, for example, as the
Russians, the Hudson Bay voyageurs,
and the lumberman of the north does
not testify to it's evil effects on gen.
For a cold country it is almost an
ideal stimulant, reviving the energies.

exhaustion, and affording a feeling

sire clean county fairs:-
Middlebury, VT, May 8, 1908
REV. ". X. HAMLIN:
My Dear Sir I'm reply to yours of the
30th ulto., would say that since its re-
ceipt have talked with the chief official
of the Addison Co. Agricultural Society
and find that there is a unanimous
opinion that no perceptible impairment
OF the financial success of the fairs has
resulted from the elimination of gambling
devices. On the other hand there APP
pears to have been a most decided gain.
There has been balance in receipts over
expenditures for the past five years, until
now the Society has over 81 900 invested
in interest paying securities. This finan-
cial gain is the direct result of gate
receipts and rents from privileges.
The moral tone of our fairs is very high,
a woman pr child can attend and see or
hear nothing to offend good taste or
morals.
The opi1tion here is that it pays to run
good, clear fair, as it attracts the bet
ter class of society who in the end pay
more thar the rougher sort.
You may feel free to use the above as
you deem best.
Yours very cordially,
GEO. r. STAIR.

Or. John A. Mead

tribute to our next Lieut.. Governor
CDR. !. A. Meadi is a worthy citizen
of Vermont. He is public-spirited,
active in good works, and a pro-
moter of the interests of the state,
morally, materially, and religiously.
He has always cheerfully borne his
share of the public duties in state,
county, city, church, and school-in
all OF which he has long been active.
He is as democratic citizen and as
genial a comrade as anyone should
wish TO know. ~ DR.. Mead conducts
one of the great industries OF the
state; and has managed it success
fully, to the advantage of the state,
if also to his own profit. His passage
from poverty to competency has been
most honorable. Who shall decrv
his success in his great manufactur
ing industry? 1t surely can
not injure the Banners candidate
Mr.. Barnes, an excellent man-to
give DR.. Mead the square deal. He
properly aspires to the honorable of
flee and Will fill it with credit. He is
worthy OF Chittenden county's sup
port"
We wish to e,nphatically endorse
all that the Daily News saysin behalf
of DR.. Mead. The largest industry
in Vermont, outside of ouI qrarries,is
unquestionably the Fairbanks Scale
Works, which is the largest OF its
kind in the world. A close second is
the Howe Scale Works at Rutland,
which DR.. Mead found a few years
ago in The struggles of bankruptcy.
Bringing to bear upon that industry
an ability of high order, he has placed
it in the front rank of Vermont's
manufacturing enterprises and he has
so conducted his business affairs that
to-day he is recognized as the friend
OF the labor organizations which are,
as we understand it. supporting him
enthusiastically. We do not know
how many men DR.. Mead has in his
employ, probably from 300 to 600,
and he so treats them as to have
their entire respect and regard. Can
there be any better evidence of the
good qualities of head and heart of
any man than to say that he SO con-
ducts his affairs as to bring order
ont of chaos, success out OF bank
ruptcv and at the same time so treat
his men so that they love and respect
him and are his enthusiastic sup
porters? 9a |
We repeat, what we have said be-
fore, that if any misfortune Vermont |
should, during the incumbency OF DR..
Mead of the office of Lieut. Governor,
lose her Governor, there is no man in
the state today who could bring to
the discharge of the duties of the
chief executive office a measure of
ability in the line of a business adj
ministration superior to that of DR..
John A. Mead.
DR.. Mead is not only a manufac-.
turer and banker, but he is also an
and up-to-date farmer.
We recently had the pleasure of Wis
iting his beautiful farm near Rutland
which is one of the best models of a
dairy farm it has ever been our good
fortune to inspect. Indeed the doc
tor touches the enterprises Of our
good state at many points, and in
such a way as to know what the
people want and what measures will
most contribute to their welfare.
The state will make no mistake in
DR.. Mead for it's coming
Lieutenant Governor.
