BENNINGTON, VT, SEPT. 8, 1911
Thai BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP


The result of the state champion
ship series played on the grounds of
the Brattleboro association entirely
under Brattleboro management should
convince the winners of the Twin
State league that the Connecticut
valley has not yet produced the kind
of baseball that has been played on
This side of the mountain during the
past two years. Because nearly two
thirds of the former Bennington team
went to Keene and because Keene
was defeated in the final games of the
Twin-State league Brattleboro fans
were apparently misled into believ-
ing that they had superior nine.
When the Twln-State league mag
mates have acquired little more ex-
perience they will arrive at the con
cluslon that the success of baseball
team depends more upon the combi-
nation of units than 1t does upon the
prowess OF individuals.
When the Bennington baseball team
disbanded August 20 the players. with
two exceptions, had been together
since the opening of the season in
May In nearly so games a system
of teamwork and a thorough under.
standing of each players method had
been evolved. Many Of these games
were played against the fast travel
ing teams made up of men who from
their versifled experience have &C.
quired comprehensive knowledge OF
what in these days is known as Gin.
side BALI and more or less of this
knowledge was naturally impaired to
the players who came in contact
with its possessors.
During the last three weeks Of the
season men with a fairly good idea OF
the national game expressed the opin
ion that the Bennington team had
been moulded into a well-balanced
smoothly working baseball machine
That It was in every way superior to
anything in the line that had been
produced in the Twin-State league
was the general opinion here and
the result OF the series this week in
which Brattleboro has made but a
single run must be evident to all

FARMERS IN CONFERENCE
National Union Begins Three Days
Session at Shawnee, Okla.

Shawnee, Okla, Sept. ga nation
al convention for farmers unparalleled
probably in importance, undoubtedly
In attendance, in the history OF Amer
lea, assembled In Shawnee today for
a three days session. The occasion
is the annual convention OF the Nat
ional Farmers Union, the largest,
most influential and most successful
Organization OF its kind that ever ex-
listed In this country, not excepting
the Farmers Alliance which made It.
self felt In national politics several
decades ago.
The present convention Is attended
by delegates representing member
ship of over 100000, scattered over
more than half the states of the Un-
ion. While the South and West are
the best represented numerically there
is abundant evidence to show that the
organization is steadily making head
way among the farmers OF other sec
lions OF the country.
The National Farmers Union though
not primarily a political organization,
has never hesitated to make its influ-
ence felt in national or state politics
where the interests of the farmers
were believed to be at stake. Conse-
Quently and in view OF the approach
ing presidential and congressional
elections, the discussions and address
es OF the three days sessions will be
watched carefully by the politicians.
The proposed reciprocity agreement
with Canada will natui lily receive at
tention from the convention, as will
also such subjects Of general interest
as the parcels post, the restriction OF
foreign immigration, and the abolit'
ion OF gambling In farm products.
Much attention will be given also TO
plans for increasing the membership
and influence of the organization.

Interesting Mexican Letter

A letter from Mrs. Thomas Lam
don to her daughter, Mrs. Frank
Evans.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Evans:
Dear son and daughter.-We are
still out at the ranch and enjoy
ing the climate very much. Ihave
not been back 10 Tampico since !
left In February. We cannot ina
CINE you having such dry hot
weather, when everything Is so
nice and cool here In fact I have
not suffered from the heat since
| came TO this country.
We r going 20 have a fine crop
OF corn, potatoes, cabbage, etc.
or course you know we have let
tuoe, radishes and onions any time
OF the year. Papa went out and
brought In a fawn this afternoon
and the cook dressed and cooked
II and we sure enjoyed a fine sup
per. Last week we had n large
buck, with five points on either
side OF his horns. Papa says he
Is going to have that mounted for
you a hat rack just because he
killed him. .-,
Wish You could see the flower
garden In front 'of the house, some
OF the roses 5 inches across and
buds two inches long, bowling their
heads. The lilies at each end OF
the porch Is beautiful. The two
Mexican women who keep the yard
take as much interest in 1t as a
II was their own.
just gathered a basket full Of
the grape fruit from the tree in
the r Of the yard and am GO
ing to preserve 1t. I did not tell
you the cook is going to make
chilh-can-carue from the neck and
shoulders OF the fawn. She is
fine ON Mexican dishes but they
8 30 mudh red pepper.
Don't know when III come back
There, l don't feel like I want to
come while 1t Is 80 hot, and I am
sure l do not want to come to
freeze this winter. I feel at home
here. We have about 100 chicks,
some hogs, cows, etc., and every
thing so nice and green and plenty
of help all the time, 1t 10 so Ittle
trouble to hive.
We have a nice American boy
who just come over from Cuba
and bought 10 acres and IL going
to pay FOR 1t In work. He speaks
some Spanish and gets along with
the Mexican help fine.
MIR. Hannah, the young college
boy who went with you in the
deer hunt, has bought 40 acres and
he and his uncle who Is a horti-
culturist have pitched their tent
just in from. of the ranch house,
and are going to clear their land
and plant orange trees, grape
fruit, etc. Everyone is clearing
and now we can see miies and

has not been properly disinfected.
where tuberculosis has been, and last
winter the general assembly of Iowa
passed a law requiring disinfection
after the death of tuberculosis
patient in house, and this is COM
mendable, yet nothing is said con-
corning the tuberculosis family
which moves from one place to an
other, spreading infection from house
to house like the plaques of Egypt.
Without warning, the subtle enemy
destroys, whereas a compulsory reg
istration of every tuberculous patient
in the state would obviate this grave
and serious danger
! believe that there should be, also,
proper medical supervision of the
children of the public schools. This
is imperative. Large numbers of the
children in the public schools are
mentally inhibited through physical
defects. The public school exists for
the state. 1t is a process of assimila-
ton by which crude and waiting
elements are transposed into orderly
self governing individuals. The
theory of compulsory education is to
inculcate fundamental principles of
self control and government. The
theory is good, but the whole sys-
tenn under which we operate at pres
ent, in my Judgment, is open to seri-
Gus criticism The state compels the
child to go to school, take such
coures of study as may be prepared
by the board of education, but it does
not take into account the physical
or mental impossibilities of the child.
The state asks nothing about defect
i've eyes, ears, nose, throat, teeth;
it asks no questions concerning the
proper functioning of the body and
only when compelled by incapacity
does the state recognize the mental
limitations of child. Then the child
must be imbecile or feebleminded.
The state goes further still with its
incorrigible children. 1t provides in
dustrial education which is we'll and
good, but the state makes no in
quiry as to what part it may have
played in driving the boy or girl into
stubborn resistance against consti-
tuted authority. My own observation
has convinced me that large numbers
of children are today the fiotsam and
jetsam Of society because of blum
dering state. l know of instances
where competent medical interfer-
ence has placed boy or girl in proper
adjustment with social relations as
effective factors, who otherwise
would have been lost to the state.
The most tremendous impulse
which this state has received in re-
cent years has taken place within
the last five years with reference to
health and sanitation and it is my
belief that more and more attention
will be given to the great questions
which effect the health and happi-
ness of our people.

A GOOD REASON.
Leon People Can Tell You Why 1t
Is &c.

Doan's Kidney Pills cured the
cause of disease, and that is why
the cures are always lasting. This
remedy strengthens and tones up
the kidneys, helping them to drive
out of the body the liquid poisons
that cause backache, headache and
distressing kidney and urinary COM
plants. Leon people testify to per-
manent cures.
M. J. Hamilton, of Leon, Iowa,
says: Il begun to suffer from kid
ney trouble few years ago, brought
on no doubt by hard work. The COM
plant started with pains in my back
and lameness in my hips and loins,
and finally rheumatism set in. The
doctor told me I had uric poison in
my system, and although took his
medicine, I got no relief. One day
heard about Doan's Kidney Pills and
resolving to give them trial, I pro-
cured a box. In short time after
beginning their use, improved and
my general health is excellent at the
present time. I think very highly of
