BARRETT PRAISES THE PAPERS.
Urges Farmers 10 Take Newspapers
and Magazines.

10 Omcials and Members of the Far
mers Union:
1t is my observation that the man
who reads a great deal and the right
sort OF matter, who digests what he
reads, ponders, thinks, and acts, is
the man making progress. In my
constant travels over this continent,
l have noted that farmers who take
newspapers and magazines and read
them are forging ahead.
want, therefore, to impress on
my brethren everywhere the import
ahce OF taking good papers and mag
azlnes and reading them. do NOT
necessarily refer TO publications de
voted to the Farmers Union alto
Sether, although | think every mem
Der should take such paper, but TO
good daily or weekly newspapers and
magazines devoted to general topics
We owe much to the press of This
country AS Il whole they have been
fair, liberal and helpful. This re-
ierS not only to the smaller publica-
tionS, but to the powerful dailies of
the great cities. More and more thcv
are coming to have sympathetic nm
derStanding of the farmer and his
problems, and are willing and eager
to render genuine aid to worthy
movements in his behalf.
But feel as do officials and
large percentage Of the union that
the time has come when we shouId
ana must have a national organ, p
publication Of force, character AMI
stamina, as a national mouth-piece.
we nave many excellent publications
devoted to the Farmers Union. but
they are of necessity largely local in
application and tone. They are do
ing great deal of wcTn and | want
70 see them all crow and prosper,
Tor all are poT Terful factors in the
general for" movement.
At the recent annual meeting Of
the farmers Union in Salina, Kan
as, this question of an organ of ma
tion-wide scope and breadth came |
up, and it was the sentiment and
opinion that the organization need
ed and demanded it. A resolution
was passed making it obligatory
upon the national officials to estab- |
lish such a paper.
We are working on that problem
now. We want to make it a paper |
or national significance, a paper of |
broad sympathy, Of such widespread !
interest and discussion that it will |
appeal to the farmer in Oregon as
as to the farmer in Georgia.
be as necessary to the tiller of the
soil in Minnesota as to the one in
Florida or South Carolina.
In working out such a plan we
began looking about for an editorial |
writer Of known ability, of wide in !
formation. of breadth of view, with a |
genuine sympathy for agriculture
and agriculturists. I wish to say
that we have found such an editor |
and the first issue OF the paper will |
demonstrate the truthfulness of this
assertion.
| can but feel assured that It will |
be the kind of paper to make it's own |
appeal not only to the members of |
the Farmers Union, but to farmers
and those in other walks of life from |
coast to coast.

"The next time you take an order
from ME, Greenwood" he continued
witheringly, you'll know how to pro-
ceed. You were too anxious to work
off this stock. Question my credit
before you accept my order next time.
Goodbye" and he hung up.
An hour later he was aboard
train, speeding to Fresno, and before
the Office of the Tuolumne Flume &
Irrigation Company closed that day,
they had accepted Rube Pitchers
draft at sixty days sight, and Pitcher
was on his way back to San Fran
cisco with the acceptance in his
pocket. Weary, sleepy and hollow
eyed, he got to bed at two o'clock
next morning, and at ten o'clock,
when the bank opened, he was on
hand to discount his sixty-day ac-
ceptance. Half an hour later he
walked in on Greenwood and showed
a certified check for the full amount
of the invoice, less his commission,
under that perturbed gentlemans
nose.
Il want you to know, Greenwood"
he said sternly, that when l do busi-
ness and specify cash, l mean cash.

taken in this matter. I've been twelve
years in the lumber game, and to

cash basis. Furthermore, l want to
know right now If you intend to re-
peat this precaution on my next
shipment"
Certainly not, my dear boy. Won't
you listen to reason -"
well, that's reasonable, guess"
Pitcher reluctantly admitted, and
adroitly changed the subject.
THE day the last of his short stock
went onto a fiat car, Reuben K
contrived to have three representa-
tives of commercial agencies call
upon him and quiz him for a
rating without their even remotely
suspecting that Pitcher himself had
instigated the visit. They asked him
how much money he had.

he said. ASK them about me. When

ten redwood lumber companies.
When they had departed, he
perched his feet up on his desk and
fell to musing.
"They II rate me F-2h, ten to
twenty thousand, or I miss my
guess" he soliloquized. "and seven
thousand dollar roll is MT half bad to
make my start on. 1t certainly re-
moves the worry"
He glanced at his watch. It was
just five o'clock, and he rose hur-
riedly, and shut down his desk.
He had forgotten the High Cost of
Living and remembered only that

turned loose flushed with the exhil-
Grafton of handling a gun and shoot
ing indiscriminately, a privilege not
heretofore enjoyed, because not per-
mitted in the country from which
they came. To protect against such
useless slaughter, which included
robins, other song and insectivorous
birds, as we'll as all other kinds of
wild life, the state of Pennsylvania
passed law absolutely prohibiting
the carrying of a firearm by persons
not citizens of the state. It's consti-
tutionality was tested in the supreme
court, and the law stands. In this
connection the question arises why
should not many worthy and valuable
residents of Vermont, not citizens
become such and assume the dutie
of citizens.

STEVENS
EDWARDS
Bride, Native of Island Pond,
Married at Everett, Mass.
Mony Brighton People At
tend the Ceremony.

At the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Wendell P. Stevens, Everett, Mass.
their daughter, Marion Foss, was
married October 16, to George C.
Edwards of Cambridge, Mass.
The bride, who, with her mother
and brother, is a native of Island
Pond, was gowned in oyster white
satin, trimmed with lace and pearls,
the gift and handiwork of her
mother, and wore veil and coronet.
The service was double ring, the
Rev. Mr.. Taylor, rector of Grace
Episcopal Church officiating. The
bridesmaids were Miss Edwards,
sister of the groom, and Miss Lillian
Publicover, a friend of the bride;
Mr.. Clarence Edwards, brother OF
the groom, was best man.
Don c. Foss, Sr., grandfather of
the bride, was the guest of honor
and among the other guests were
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Moye, Mr.. and Mrs.
Albert Stevens and son Cecil, Miss
Jennie Ladd ,and Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
J. Powers of Lancaster, N. H., all
well known in Island Pond. After
the ceremony a reception was held,
which was attended by upwards of
one hundred friends; during this
period refreshments were served and
the display of numerous and costly
gifts inspected.
Miss Stevens has been chief Ste
nographer for w. H. Gardner & Co.
of Boston, Governor of the local
Colony of Pilgrim Fathers, and SOLO
ist for various Rebekah Lodges in
Greater Boston. The groom is en-
ployed as a bookkeeper in Cambridge

Why Not Be Citizens?

The action of the legislature of
1912 when it passed the codifed fish
and game laws, included definition
of the terms Resident, and Mon
Resident" as applied in the act.
Under the provisions of this new law
only citizens of the United States
are eligible to receive Resident
Hunters License at rs cts, no mat
ter how long they may have resided
in the state. The old law was so in
definite that Town Clerks experience
much difficulty in interpreting it.
With a view to clarity the new def
milton was inserted. The operation
of the law develops the fact that
there are great many alien resi-
dents of the state, many of whom
have lived here for many years, en-
joying the full bnnefits of citizenship
but escaping certain of the duties
and burdens which fall to the citizen.
Among the advantages enjoyed by
such residents who are not citizens
may be mentioned exemption from
jury duty, from serving call of the
sheriff, and bearing arms in defense
of the country if needed. 1t is es-
tablished that the fish and game of
the state belong to the citizens of
the state sovereign capacity; the
state, therefore, has the right to
determine upon what condition it will
allow such fish and game to be taken
by it's citizens and inhabitants, or by
others. While this provision may
work what will be considered an in
dividual hardship(which is true of
many laws), it has brought very
forcibly to the attention of many
residents of Vermont, who have
long been in the enjoyment of the
citizens privileges, but who have
not taken upon themselves the re-
sponsibilsties of citizenship, that
now is good time to become citi-
zens. The primary intent of the
law was to prevent the indiscrimin-
ate slaughter of valuable bird and an
imal life, including everything of
that kind that has life, by rowing
bands of aliens who come into the
state on construction and other
kinds of labor, and who, by the pay
ment of rs cents for a license, were
