HUSBANDMEN WIN
Farmers Exchange Proves Ben

New Jersey Farmers Set an Example
Worthy to Be Followed In Other

That cooperation of husbandmen is
Of inestimable benefit is well illustrated
in the annual report of the Monmouth
County IN. j. Farmers Exchange,
yays writer in the American Agri-
culturist. The conditions will interest
farmers and truck growers throughout
the east The report covers the year
ended Nov. 80. L shows that the
members made a net profit of 20 per
cent on the capital stock. the years
business totaling nearly $1.OO0,OOO
This great volume of business was
due in large part to the bumper crop
of potatoes in Monmouth county, ad-
mittedly the largest yield this section
has ever had.
The managers report shows that a
total of 1916 cars of farm products
were shipped by the exchange during
the year. OF this number over 1000
cars were potatoes, an increase Of
1883 cars over 1909. or an increase Of
163 cars over the combined shipments
of 1908 and 1909, This large shipment
of potatoes represents lbs barrels.
Other produce sold through the ex-
change during the year includes 4,O29
barrels and 16.9S7 baskets of apples,
1883 barrels and 1900 baskets of
pears, 1886 barrels and 60 baskets of
cucumber pickles. 500 crates of toma-
toes. 591 crates of berries, 100 barrels

gus. $50 crates of celery, 211 crates of
cranberries and 1000 bales of hay and
straw. These goods were placed in
1876 cities in twenty two states and in
one foreign country. In addition, the ex-
change sold direct to its members 90
600 barrels of seed potatoes and han
died $4,000 bags of fertilizer.
During a part of August and Sep
TENDER there were several weeks when
shipments from the exchange averag-
ed fifty TO sixty carloads of potatoes
alone a day. On Aug. IL eighty We
carloads were shipped. representing
$4,000 as the days business. The ex-
change manager could have used 100
cars with ease that day could he have
procured them from the railroad au-
thorities, who were not prepared to
meet the rush.
1t is freely admitted by members
that without the exchange they could
not have received for this immense
crop the average price. S1.35, paid

has increased during the year from
h50 to 800. and the capital stock has
gone up from S31.274 to $4O.37O at the
| time Manager lngling made his report
the other day. Since then | understand
there has been a further increase in
the capital to nearly $4,000. 1t Is the
purpose Of the directors to increase
the stock to 100000 or $4,000. after
which not more than one share will
| be sold at time and then only to new
members. An innovation is to be
made by the exchange next year
when all potatoes will be purchased
| by weight. Members have been warn
ed against digging potatoes faster
than they can gather up, to avoid hav-
| ing them sun pricked. and they were
| advised further that 1t would be to
their advantage to grade their tubers.

THE GOVERNORSHlP.
Opening Address at Burlington
by the Hon. j. a. De Boer of
Montpelier.

Ought a man who has spent the best
twenty-five years of his life in Yer
mont, who has done what he could in
her behalf, who has never failed to re-
spond when called upon, who is known
over the State as the head of her largest
financial institution, if it should enter
his head to desire election to the Office
of governor, to be forced to employ
campaign manager, publicity bureau,
local leaders, to stir up popular senti-
ment, and go to numberless other ex-
penses which would make it impossible
for any but a very wealthy man to foot
the bills? This question was squarely
put up to large audience of Burlington
men at The Strong, last night, when
Joseph Arend De Boer of Montpelier,
president of the National Life Insurance
company, and receptive candidate, fired
the opening gun of the gubernatorial
campaign. 4
Mr.. De 'Boer arrived in this city
shortly before seven o'clock, and went
directly to the Hotel Vermont. BY
7:45 The Strong theatre was we'll filled
with an audience almost exclusively of
men, among whom Church street seemed
to be unanimously represented, and
Bartons orchestra was keeping the
multitude in good humor. Promptly at
eight o'clock the curtain rose. and Mayor
Roberts, with very few apt words,
introduced the speaker of the evening.
Mr.. De Boer, in opening, quoted the
editorial in which the Bristol Herald
declared of him: HAS the gift of CAB;
he is a good business man; and he wants
the job" Mr.. De Boer modestly dis
claimed the first attributes. AS to the
second, he said that his record must
speak, and that the only basis on which
any man ought to be elected to political
office was his effort. On the third count
he frankly pleaded guilty. "But,"
said he, what man who knows YER
mont and loves her and is proud of her
history, would not want the job %
He outlined his relations with the
gubernatorial fights of past years. In
1904, Mr.. De Boer said many friends
urged him to wage an active compaign,
but another candidate that year was
member of a calling so largely rep
resented in Vermont that it seemed to
deserve a representation in the office
of chief executive. Therefore, in his
way, he contributed to the election of
Governor Bell. In 1908 he was again
urged to make fight for the nomina-
ton, but at that time the financial con-
dition of the country was such that his
whole time was demanded by the bust
ness of which he is head. This year he
PERSISTED in his stand that he would not
go after the office. The Barre Times
wrote asking if he would be a candidate,
and he replied that he would not have
time to go after it in the customary
way He went about his business and
in his absence the citizens of his town
laid their plans to induce him to enter
the campaign. Then they asked him to
enter the race and he consented to make
a practical test of those ideas of his,
about allowing the free will of the
people to play some part in the selection
of their governor, which had been so
often described as idealistic and vision
airy. Burlington Free Press.

GOT HIS soBRIQUET EARLY
Honest John" Kelly Proved His Right
to the Title Long Before
Manhood.

There have been many stories about
the manner in which Honest John"
Kelly, the ex-umpire, first got his nick
name. Mr.. Kelly himself, according
to a new York letter, holds that it
came to him naturally, for even as
small boy the purity of his soul shone
through his face. 81 think the first
time l was ever called Honest John
was when l was quite a youngster,"
said Kelly. "A man engaged as an
ambulatory salesman of tinware OBJ
served the ingenious countenance /
presented to the world and hailed me.
You look honest, boy said he. What
might your name be?' john said l,
quite simply. 'John-just like that.
Then hold my horse while / go In
the saloon and get drink said he.
And SO held his horse while he went
in the saloon and got a drink. But
this was on lower Ninth avenue, In
day when the avenues honors went
to the man who could clean the most
cops In a given time. BY and by the
gang came along and beheld that
wagon full of tinware. The peddler
was detained within by a sore thirst,
and they took the tinware. And then
they came back and took the cush-
ions off the wagon. Eventually, be-
coming daring, they unhitched the
wagon and took 1t away. True to my
trust, stood there, holding the horse.
And by and by the peddler came out
of the saloon and sized up the situa-
ton. Well said he warmly, you're
Honest John, all right. You saved the
horse.'"
