Possibly MCCarty had acquired the

Farmers Opportunity.

Agriculturists are awakening to
the possibilities of large returns
from the soil for their labor, through
the practical, scientific and inter
communicative methods Of farm
ing as worked out by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. This plan is
not theory, but a practical sys-
TEN of farming formed from actual
tests and will bring sure results
This help can be secured by the
farmers with every little effort on
their part The Department of Agri-
culture and the Corn Exchange. to-
gether with large mercantile
house, are making liberal offers of
aid to those counties organizing
and preparing for this work. Cal
edonia County is not behind in this
work and the Farmers Association
recently organized at ST. Johnsbury
starts the good work in prac
cal way by soliciting the member
ship of every farmer in the county
and all those interested in the work.
The membership fee is small, but
will greatly increase the finances of
the association, If everyone in the
county who wishes to see Caledonia
take an advanced step in agricultur-
al progress will become a member.
Contributions from farmers and cit
liens are also being made aside
from this membership fee. This
movement is having the earnest
support of Hon. T. n. Vail and
other leading citizens of the county
and is surely an opportunity Cal
edonia County farmers cannot let
pass This work comes to them
with a sure prospect of increased
returns for their labor and the cost
to the individual farmer is compar-
atively infinitesimal Yankee shrewd-
ness would prompt every tiller of
the soil to get hold of this good
work. even il il were not prompted
by an ambition to excel and place
the county first and foremost in the
agricultural progress of the State.
and the work for greater and
better Vermont
If every acre of land in the United
States was made to produce all that
il is capable of producing, the wealth
from agriculture would be doubled.
Agricultural prosperity is the found

ity and in this work all are inter
ested. Professor Holden of the Iowa
Agricultural College saw this OPP
portunity and went about teaching
Iowa farmers to raise more corn.
His work has increased the wealth

interest charge is more than overbal
anced by the increase in the amount
of his tax.
On the other hand it may be said
that if millions are to be added to the
grand list of the state by this aboli-
lion of offsets las its advocates claim
will be the easel, a corresponding de-
crease in the tax rate may be looked
for and this decrease would be help
fully felt by all taxpayers.
Governor Fletcher is reported as
not being wholly satisfied with the
measure which has, by his signature,
Just become a law. 1t contains some
good features. and some features that
are open to criticism. The outcome, as
TO its effect upon the interests of the
people generally, must be regarded as
problematical. The individual money
ender is to be congratulated on the
benefit which the new law confers
upon him. The borrower for bust
ness purposes will take due advant-
age of the difference between six and
five per cent interest, and must take
his chances as TO the rest of the
game. If the grand list swells, and
ais tax rate shrinks, he will also be
entitled to a modicum of congratula-
tion.-Ludlow Tribune.

Alleged Foreer Remembered in the
Ancient City.

The scene of one of the alleged for
geries perpetrated by Lewis A. Gerl-
ing, who was arrsted recently by
Bennington officers, is laid at Yer
gennes and the Vermonter tells of
the alleged crooks visit to the oldest
city in Vermont as follows;
"Vergennes is interested in the ar
rest and conviction of Howard A.
Smith for issuing bogus checks, this
city having received visit from the
gentleman last March, when two, at
least of the local business men were
victimized by the operations of one
of the smoothest rascals the criminal
world has known in a long time.
Smith came to town on the morn
ing of Saturday, March 30, 1912. os-
tensibly looking for a summer home
on Lake Champlain. What more ma
tural than that he should select that
part which borders on the mouth of
Otter Creek, where nature has com
bined wealth of scenery almost I'M
rivaled on the earth? Smith, who
has a dozen aliases but plead guilty
in the name of Howard A, although
ne TeSlSleTeu dL the vel 5SuuSo hONCio

ton shortly after his arrival here,
having had some correspondence
with Mr.. Benton relative to hiring a
cottage, in response TO an Advertise
ment. Mr. Benton hooked up his
team and took Smith down to Mile
Point to look at the cottage. which
proved to be just what was desired.
The bargain was closed, Smith gave
Mr.. Benton a check for $500, and it
was announced that the Smith fami-
ly would come later. Returning to
Vergennes, Smith visited Dalymples'
store and Stebbin's market, ordering
groceries and provisions. AT the for
mer place he gave a check for $50
and received SIS cash on S25 order.
At Mr. Stebbin's he got SIG cash on a
$25 check. Both checks were on a
Florida bank. After getting the cash
Smith departed on the first train.
Identification of Smith as the man
who operated in Vergennes was east
y made by means of the crooks pic
ture in the Boston Globe. The war
rant issued for him here still holds
good and he can be prosecuted again
when his present term is up"

WASHINGTON LETTER SOLD
Long Document of 1889 Bought by
English Collector for $3.50

London, Feb. ia letter written
by George Washington at Mount Yer
non on Feb. 5. 1888, referring to the
election of the representatives to the
first United States Congress, was sold
at auction here today for $3.50. 1t
was purchased by an English private
collector.
The letter is regarded as one of the
most interesting ever written by
Washington, and is said never to
have been published. About two
months after Washington wrote 1t he
was elected the first President of the
United States. Washington's refer
ence in the letter to the first attack
of madness suffered by George III has
created much interest in England.
The King first showed signs of de-
rangement on Oct. %, 1888. He soon
recovered, but his mind dwelt contin-
ually on the loss of the American
colonies, and at the end of the year
he suffered another attack.
The letter is in part as follows:
"All the political manoeuvres which
were calculated to impede, if not to
prevent the operation of the new Gov
eminent, are now brought to close
until the meeting of the new Con-
gress, and, although the issue of all
the elections are not yet known, they
are sufficiently displayed to authorize
belief that the opposers of the Gov
eminent have been defeated in al
most every instance. Although the
elections in this State are over, it
will be some time (from the extent of
it, before the Representatives to Con
gress can be finally announced. From

the majority will be Federalists-
