In Central America many natives are
gathering the seeds of this plant, Cedron
Seed, a rare medicine that has valuable
curative powers. But few drug stores
carry this seed, owing to the high cost
of the article.
This country is a large consumer of
this costly seed because 1t enters into

Letter to c. J. Ferguson.

Mr.. Hapgood has sent the follow
ing letter to C. j. Ferguson:
Peru, VT, May 10, 1910.
c. ]. Ferguson, Esq,
Supt. Anti-Saloon League.
My Dear Sir:
In reply to your inquiry of the 18th
as to how l stand, as a candidate for
the Governorship, in regard to the
proposed referendum for the re-sub-
mission of the liquor law question,
would reply:
Any effective measure for the sup
preston of the liquor traffic would
meet my hearty approval; as l be-
lieve that the major portion of the
crime, misery, degradation, and ignor-
ance, of the land is caused by that
evil. Furthermore, | would be pleased
to see the entire suppression of both
the sale and the manufacture of all
| high stimulants above the grade of
beer and wine.
| But we must treat this matter in a
common sense light making the best
of our opportunities and acting upon
the principle of not running extreme
danger of losing what we have in a
strife for more. | believe that the
present local option law, PROPERLY
amended so as to prevent small towns
from adopting license for the purpose
of debauching large towns adjoining,
is working, as a rule, quite we'll, and
directly towards what we want in the
end; and, as matters are now, es-
pecially in view of the pressing need
of reform in our election laws, I
would not, now, favor the distracting
the attention of the people from this
much needed reform.
1t Is needless for me to add that
your warning that it will be danger
GUS for any candidate to oppose your
proposed measure has no effect upon
me and | regret. for the sake of the
cause, that you have made it,
Sincerely yours,
MARSHALL l.. HAPGOOD.

To the Patrons and Farmers of Yer
| mont:
The report of the Special Commits
sion OH Country Life appointed by
President Roosevelt, gave as the first
great need, Effective cooperation
among farmers to put them on a level
with the organized interests with
which they do business"
| 1t has been a lack of cooperation
that has deprived the farmer of what
| rightfully belongs to him as his share
of the fruits of his labor. The til
lers of the soil have allowed millions
OF dollars of profits to go to mid
dlemen, simply because of lack of
organization and cooperation they
have been at the mercy of hostile
forces.
Forbearance has long ceased to be
virtue In many parts of our
country are examples of what has
been accomplished when the produc-
ers awoke to the situation.
The Western Fruit Growers AS
sociations" have saved their industry
and given millions of dollars of pro-
fit to the producers rather than to
the middlemeu. Are the Eastern pro-
ducers going to stand together and
fight for their rights?
In the milk war" now on in Bos-
ton the contractors, or middlemen,
are making a small discount from
winter prices to their consumers, and
are asking the farmers to make
discount three or four times as large.
They have become millionaires while
the producers are compelled to prac-
tice the greatest economy to make ex-
penses at the prices offered.
The Changers and farmers of Mas
sachusetts and New Hampshire are
putting up a grand fight for Fair
Play" with the Boston contractors.
We would urge the milk producers
of Vermont to be loyal, and COOP
crate with our brother farmers in 9th
er sections, in their struggle for a
Square Deal" Let us show to the
world that we possess the true spirit
OF American Independence" The
producers hold the key to the situa-
ton If they will only cooperate.
1t is now learned that outside com
panies are cooperating with the

member this critical time is most
vital to the financial and social lift
OF the farmers of New England.
Again if the farmers who are SELL
ing the milk off the farm would stop
and figure carefully they would see
that with the present prices of but
ter, pork, and stock, there is more
money to be made in keeping the
milk on the farm than in selling it at
the reduced price. Vermont is be-

Another correspondent of the
Journal writes as follows:
An important point to he consd-
cred in locating school on LOOMS
street is the playground This as
planned is off Harrison Ave in close
proximity to Heaton HOSPITAL. The
hospital being on higher ground than
playground will get the full volume
of noise attendant upon any exciting
game. During all the summer even
ings there will be more or less noise
at a time when windows are open
and the nurses are endeavoring to
quiet restless patients for the night
Much depends upon the restful quiet
of such an institution and Mr.. Hea-
ton felt this strongly in selecting site
for the hospital. Montpelier is proud
OF Heaton Hospital and ever gener-
Gus in its behalf, will it vote to es-
tablish playground where it will
be an annoyance and many times a
positive injury to the sick and suf-
fering within it's walls?'
