A Gag Rule.
(Barre Times.)

A dangerous suggestion was made to
the Farmers club of the legislative
session of 1915 when that influential
body organized one night last week.
but fortunately for the club and the
state it died abOrning. One of the
members proposed that when the club
should take action on a matter up for
legislative consideration, the vote of
the club should be binding on all mem
bers and the farmer vote should conse-
quently be cast as a unit. Credit is
due President Farnham of Montpelier
for nipping this plot in the bud. = St
Adams Messenger.
The Messenger and Mr.. Farnham
take very proper position as regards
q somewhat disquieting proposal Sup
posing the Farmers club should take
vote on a matter to come before the
legislature and a bare majority should
| be found in favor of the passage oil
the bill patterned thereafter, that
| would make it encumbent upon a mum
Der almost equal to one-half the Farm
! ers' club members to vote agains
their convictions and in favor of til,
| proposed legislation. That would i'm
pose Il restraint on individual indie
pendence OF thought that is most de
slrable in securing the best legislation
land such a restraint would not servt
| to the best interests of the state. [
may be well enough for the Farmers
club to take a formal expression O
sentiment In its own meetings. bu
such voting never should go to the ex
tent of binding action.

When a color scheme is desired a

piece will give pretty tone of color

has made a great success as Il lawyer
in q professional career covering Pc
riod of 20 years, has borne the brunt
of two campaigns as the leader of his

TREATY WITH JAPAN.
Japan Believed to Be Seeking Renewal
of Liaotung Pact.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The state

mentioned in dispatches from Toxic,
but 1t Is Ieit that they may have an
important bearing upon American IN

As q result Of the Russo-Japanese
war Japan became the Possessor Of
Port Arthur and the peninsula. her
tenure being fixed for the rest Of the

There are other questions such as cN-
tension Of the Japanese owned rail

Mongolia. which might bc discussed at
such a conference and possibly an at

One on the Rector.

The little daughter of a local clergy
man has reached the age where big
words are apt to floor her and where
she is very sensitive to the remarks OF
an older brother.
Not long ago she came running to
her father.
Papa, papa, George called me
names"
"Why, what did George sayT
"Oh," said the little girl, with a
strong expression of disgust, she said
j pracGiced what i preached! j don't,
do I?'
"Well, my child, r.
"But I don't, do /, papa2 don't
any more than you do. do I?''
And then the rector choked up. But
he took half hour from his sermon
and explained the meaning of the OBJ
noxious expression 10 the best or his
ability.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The Reformer commented recently
on the loss of revenue and the increase
in expense to American newspapers on
account OF the European war, but the
situation is far better here than in
countries across the Atlantic. In Ger
many PIP newspapers have disappeared
and in England more than half that
number have suspended since the war
broke out.

1915 POTATO CENSUS

According to the government CEN
Isus and estimate of the present years
potato acreage and yield as compared
with last year and with the average
for the past ten years, there will be
no advantage in prices this year UNI
less it is affected by the war and
other unusual conditions.
The total acreage in "a of the
principal potato growing states of the
union, the acreage for 1915 is slight
Nv below last year and slightly lower
than the average. The estimated
yield for 1915 is placed at 323,017,-
lO00 as against 346,971,O00 for 1914,
Tor SO per cent of the 1914 yield.
|The estimate for Idaho this year in
dictates slight increase over 1914
lon slightly reduced acreage.
The California crop, or that part
of it which comes into competition
with the Idaho shipments, is reported
to be very much less than last year
The government in the weekly
news letter has also advised that the
farmers who live in communities
where growers cooperative organ
izations are in existance should pat
Tonize them with their loyal support.
The following paragraph, under
the heading of Conclusion" is
copied from the 1914 yearbook, sep
arate pamphlet No. 637:
Cooperation as an economic prin-
ciple is receiving the serious consid-
eration of practically all industrial
classes It's application to special
lines of agricultural distribution and
is entirely feasible and Of
fers solution of problems and diff
ficulties that are practically hopeless
in so far as the individual is con-
cerned. In the United States De-
partment of Agriculture cooperative
organization is considered to be a
primary and fundamental project, for
it is believed that cooperation in ag-
riculture is corrective measure that
will place the industry upon a solid
basis and do much to insure the fu-
ture happiness and prosperity of the
nation"
The purposes to be derived from
the efforts of the government in be-
half of the producers will depend en-
tirely upon whether the growers adj
here to the governments advice or
not.

CELEBRATED PIONEER DAY

Dustin's Pharmacy and Christ's

the street and closed with grand
free for all foot race in which the
