nomination of governor cost me not
penny, and that the total expense of

Government Makes Report on Vermont
Crops.
The Crop Reporting Board of the
United States department OF agr1cul
ture has just completed its estimate OF
the acre yield of the principal farm
crops Of Vermont for this year. The
estimates are based on crop conditions
during the early part of October. The
finaI figures will be given out within
short time, but it is reported that they
will not differ to any great extent with
the preliminary estimates. According
to the figures the yield per acre of the
principal crops of this state in 1914 will
be as follows: Corn, so bushels ;
buckwheat, 20 bushels; Irish potatoes.
16O bushels and tobacco, l, $50 pounds.
Vermont farmers produced l. lS0. OOO
tons of tame or cultivated hay during
1914. according to the preliminary esti-
mates made today by the United
States department of agriculture. The
product is selling for an average OF
SIS. 80 per ton compared with Sl3. 70
per ton in 1913. The yield per acre
this season is 1.20 tons and the quality
is not as good as that of the average
crop of the past ten years.

TERMS
THE RESULTS.

Vermont was nearly as surprising to
the Republicans as to the Democrats
and Progressives. Such Republican
landslide was hardly predicted by the
most sanguine Republicans. But it is
very evident that the people are tired
of Democratic rule and the split in the
Republican party is healing.
The results in nation. state and dis
trict and county all tell the same
story. Back to the Republican party
appears to be the slogan. Returns at
this writing are not complete for the
state and little can intelligently be
said of the vote. The senatorial result
is disappointing to the Monitor because
it thoroughly believed that Prouty's
victory was for the best interests of
Republicanism, and still believes that
to be true.
The county vote is all in and may be
intelligently discussed. The first thing
that attracts ones attention is the
great change in the Progressive vote.
Two years ago the Progressive candi-
date for governor carried the county,
getting more votes in ten towns than
the Republican candidate. but this
year every town went back to the
Republican candidate, and the total
Republican vote in the county jumped
from 1888 two years ago to 2590 this
year, while the Progressive vote fell
from 1868 to 712. This is a gain for
the Republicans of over so per cent
and q failing off in the Progressive
vote Of nearly the same percentage.
This, it may be noted, is almost exactly
che same percentage as the recent
election in Maine showed. The Demo
cr7ic state vote fell of slightly.
The Republican county ticket over
whalm2a the fusion ticket and sur
prised botd sides. The average vote
for the Republican county ticket is
about 2200 while the average for the
fusion tickets about 1900. The sheriG

Child Drinks Coal Oil and Dies.

Lyle Wayne, the seventeen months
old son and only child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Everett Relish of near Leslie,
died at 1880 o'clock Tuesday after
noon, in commissions following the
drinking of small quantity of red
coal OIL
The family were at the J. L. Relish
home for the day. The child got
the oil from a small can-some that
had been kept for starting fires.
AS soon as it was discovered an
emetic was given and physician
called-but nothing could save the
young life because of the poison
absorbed by it's system.

the tragedy and the sympathy of the
entire community is theirs.

Four EclipseS for Year 1914.

Four eclipses. two of the sun and
two Of the moon, are to take place
during the present year. The first is
scheduled for Feb. oath 1t will be
an annular eclipse of the sun, invs-
IDLE in North America. The only per-
sons who will have an opportunity to
view it at all will be the residents in
the most southern parts of Patagonia
and New Zealand and they will see it
only as small partial eclipse.
During the second week in March
there will be a partial eclipse of the
moon, which will be visible in prac-
tically every part of the United States
and Canada In August will come a
total eclipse of the sun, which will be
visible as small partial eclipse in
eastern Canada and the New England
states. On September ga there will
be partial eclipse of the moon,

HOW TO MEASURE HAY.
U. S. Department Of Farm Manage
ment Suggests This Method.

Measuring hay in the stack is a
common method of selling hay, but
the methods and rules used are very
varied. Very little actual expert
mental data has been obtained upon
the accuracy of the different meth
DDS.
The U. S. Department Of Farm
Management has made some expert
ments and uses the following method
to find the cubic feet contents of the
stack.
Measure the length of the stack
then the width, then with a tape,
measure over the stack from the
ground on one side to the ground on
the other side. This distance is call
ed the over; multiply the width by
the over and this by 81 (thirty-one
hundredths of one). This will give
the area of the cross section. Null
tiply this by the length and get total
cubic feet contents. The factor, d
is variable according to the height,
width and fullness of the stack and
may be as low at "a in low stacks
or as much as .38 in high stacks.
The number of cubic feet to allow
for one ton varies with the kind of
hay and length of time it has stood
in the stack, and is usually determln-
ed according to local custom.

Reaching Out by the Auto Route.

Though, as newspaper man, the
writer considered himself f lirly fam
iliar with Shenandoah business con-
ditions, a rather careful investiga-
ton into last years retail business
here has given us a distinct and al
together welcome surprise.
1t is in the wide and increasingly
widening territory from which Shen-
andoah stores are drawing trade.
From within what radius do you
figure to draw trade? VIC asked one
of the proprietors of one Of the
larger stores. Everywhere up to 20
miles in every direction, and even
up to 80 miles in some directions, -
he replied. This was surprise to
us, although it may not be to every
body:
that you sell your largest bills?'
we asked again. Last year." he
said, many of our largest bills were
sold to customers who lived II to
20 miles from Shenandoah, and in
several instances we shipped the
goods by freight to the nearest little
town in their vicinity
Further inquiry established the
fact that practically all of our stores
figure on regular trade from dozens
of folks who live 10, 20 and even
80 miles in nearly every direction.
1t is the auto that has done it
the auto and the fact that retail
stocks as they are carried in Shen-
andoah are sufficiently large and
comprehensive to attract people who
can get here with any convenience
at all.
The farmer who can crank up his
auto at his place 20 miles from town
is, in point of time and convenience
just as handy to the advantages of
Shenandoah big stores, as the farm
er miles away used to be 10 years
ago. His car eats up the 20 miles
more quickly and with less worry
and discomfort to himself and family
than did the team and wagon when
it had three or four miles to travel
over the poorer roads of few years
ago.
And why is not this the logical
conclusion of the big auto business?
With hundreds of thousands of dol
lars invested in them there must be
some revenue for their owners fig
ured out somewhere. And where
could that revenue be made any
more certain than by bringing their
owners in to trade at Shenandoah
stores?-Shenandoah World.

Burned Money Redeemed.

A young child of Mr. and Mrs. Ray
Alley got hold of the family pocket
book recently and not knowing its
value threw it into the fire. When the
parents discovered the fact, the peck
ct containing a five and one dollar
bill was burned to crisp. Some
silver change was still intact. The
bills were closely rolled together
and when found were still together
and the printing on them could be
read. Someone suggested that the
government would redeem the mon
ey and the remains of the burned
bills were GIVEN to J. A. Barr, of the
First National bank, and he sent
them to the treasury department at
Washington and they at once sent
two new bills in their place. When
the money was sent in it was sup
posed that there was only five dol
lar bill in the ashes, but the govern
ment experts examined the remains
and found there was also one dol
lar bill-Greenfield Free Press.
