Ii nominated and elected governor,
and we believe he will be, John A.
Mead will be the real governor of the
state, not controlled by gang o. poll
ticians. That's the kind of man needed
for governor. 1t is time for the ma

Potatoes in Vermont.
The White River Railroad company
is offering prizes for the best potatoes
raised along its line this season. The
competition is open to all owners of
farms in Stockbridge, Hancock, Gran
vile, Rochester, Pittsford and Gays
vile. The move is most worthy one
and is in line with the progressive
movements of other railroad companies
to encourage intensive and more
scientific farming in the territory they
penetrate. Potatoes should be as i'm
portant a crop in Vermont as they are
in Maine and the time will come when
! they will be.-Rutland News.
News Dispatch Untrue.
The Newport correspondent of the
Montpelier Journal says that "defec-
lions from Mead are reported in Essex
county" Guess the wish is father to
the thought. The publisher of the
Herald was in Guildhall last Friday
and met representative men from
every town in the county, and we
heard no anti-Mead sentiment; on the
contrary a number were outspoken in
their endorsement of DR.. Mead's candi-
dacy. They have faith in the man, and
! believe that he will apply the same
energy and ability in the conduct OF
state affairs that he has shown in the
conduct of his own large business
interests. Island Pond Herald.
State Board of Trade.
The Montpelier Journal urges the
formation of a state board of trade
and holds that the suggestion is
thoroughly practicable and full of
promise to the commonwealth. Well
The Landmark urged just such g
scheme year or so ago but the sugges
tion was not very kindly received. Tn,
fear was apparent that it might result
in the states material growth and ap
probation of it's realty values. TIL
state of New Hampshire has a state
board of trade that is laboring inces
sanity for that community's welfare
Only in the past week the organiza
ton held public meeting i
the city of Nashua, and at tina
meeting merchants from all parts O
the state urged action to the end of tn
establishment of a national parcel
post system. Vermont should NOV

Get Rid of the Fly.
Remember that flies breed in hors
I manure, decaying vegetables, dea
animals, and all kinds of filth. 1t
said that not less than IS per cent {
2 the pests are bred in the stable.
q competent authority suggests this
: "All stables should have a manure bi
o with door at the side and a wir
e screen on the top, that the larva de
