More Profits for Vermont Farmers

Farmers Of Vermont are to have
better marketing conditions in the
near future, if plans of the Greater
Vermont association can be brought
about. A committee Of able men will
cooperate with committees from at
least two large centers and the CUES
ton OF more direct benefit to the pro-
Queer OF agricultural products will be
investigated and efforts will be made
whereby they will receive a square
deal from the middlemen Of the larger
centers.
President Frederick II. Rabbit of
Bellows Falls has appointed the fol-
lowing committee to represent the as
donville chairman, Commissioner of
Agriculture Ebert S. Brigham Of St.
Adams, Linn D. Hayes of Burlington,
DR.. Edward r. Campbell of Bellows
Falls and Montpelier and James P.
Taylor of Burlington, secretary of the
association, who will act as secretary
of the committee.
Mr.. Vail has for some time been in
terested in securing better Vermont
conditions for Vermont farmers, and
will make it a. point, despite his many
other activities, to take an active part
ia the work of this committee. The
committee will soon confer with a
committee that has been appointed by
the president of the Borough Of Man
haitian. The Boston chamber of COM
merce will appoint similar commit
tee at an early date, it is said, and the
Vermont committee will also confer
with it.
Middlemen in Boston and New York
have fattened for years at the ex-
pense Of Vermont agriculturists, and
the efforts of the committee will be
toward eliminating some of the prac-
tees which have been followed by
these men.

A POSSIBLE EMBARGO.

Representative Fitzgerald, chair
man of the house appropriations COM
mittee, has announced that he favors
an embargo on foodstuffs and that it
will be his purpose to prepare a bill
and press the subject early in the
session of congress which meets next
week. Washington dispatches inform
US thatlthere will be fight over the
subject as monster petitions signedby
citizens and organizations are pour
ing into Washington.
This food embargo move is a sub
ject near to the heart of many
struggling family and would undoubt-
edly have a tendency to lower living
costs, but embargoes are a thing ma
tions have used only in the most
stringent cases andhave a tendencyt to
hamper expansion.
President Wilson and his cabinet
are said to be opposed to such a
measure The outcome will be
watched with great interest. It seems
that Mr.. Fitzgerald has more than the
mere cheapening Of living at home in
mind. Read what he says:
Two reasons chiefly impel me to ia
vor embargo legislation on foodstuffs
1t is the most effective weapon in oul
controversy with Great Britain over
her unwarranted, outrageous and in
defensible black list of American mer-
chants. AS our foodstuffs are needed
abroad an embargo will be more effec-
tive than weary months of diplomatic
negotiations which end in the contin,
uance Of the indefensible practices
against our rights.
The embargo also should be imposed
for purely domestic reasons. The
prices of foodstuffs have reached tina
level, bringing widespread distress tx
the country. Many hundreds O.
thousands Of our people are suffering
from the lack Of the necessities O.
life
Wholesale prices of many commod
tiles are less abroad today than the.
were a year ago; here the retail price
have advanced alarmingly.
The argument that nothing SHOULD
be done to interfere with the eXpan
sion of our foreign trade does not i'm
press me. Of what profit is foreign
trade to grow by leaps and bounds i
our own people are to be brought t,
the verge of starvation as result O
it?
The time is ripe for the embarg
and hope to see legislation speedil,
enacted to impose it. Let America b
for Americans first.

The Vermont Advance is again
having a hard struggle. 1t has missed
several issues and Mr.. McAllister, it's
editor and principal owner, says he is
trying to raise capital to place the pa
per on it's feet. Why prolong the
struggle. There never was a field for
the Advance. It is said to have lost
money from its first issue. What
Vermont needs is not more papers but
better and more profitable papers.
The business is precarious one and
few there bewho ever made more than
a bare existence at the game in Yer
mont. The Monitor has failed to find
more than three or four men in Yer
mont who are even called "well off"

Well, Orleans county has two char
ter members of the Aero Club of Yer
mont anyway, Gov.-Elect Graham of
Craftsbury and O. Dean Mathews OF
Orleans. This organization deserves
more support from this part of the
state. Aviation is rapidly coming to
the front and the Aero Club of Yer
mont is destined to play a part in the
development of aeronautics. The year
book of the club, mentioned elsewhere
in this issue, says: 'The aeroplane
for the transportation of passengers,
mail and express is inevitable. But
just as ships for water transportation
require harbors = x !; so the aero
plane requires some auxiliary facili-
ties. One of the greatest needs and
one that is essential from the first, is
the level field from which the aero
plane rises and on which it lights.
These fields" are called landing places.
They are veritable harbors for the air
craft" The time has come when it is
desirable to have landing places near
all towns that consider themselves
progressive, for the day is not fa1
distant when aeroplanes will be seen
in Vermont. The year book says that
a smooth place quarter of mile
i each way makes good landing place
Very little work would make the cen
: ter of the fairgrounds at Barton 8
good landing place, in fact it has beer
used by two aviators without changes
one the renowned Beachey. Would i
not be worth the little effort neces
sary to have the aero map of Vernon
that will be issued soon contain {
place for landing at Barton?

who have made their money in the

weak, half-starved newspaper is more
of a menace to community and the
country at large than almost any
other business enterprise can possibly
be. Statistics show that in the past
few years there have been more news

Monitor believes that there are sever
al papers in Vermont that must cease

Tubercular Dangers.

In every town in Vermont except
some of the very smallest there are
cases of tuberculosis which are fur
nishing centers Of contagion. The
state board of health intimates that
there are somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of 5000 cases in the state, of
whom only a few are at Pittsford or
in other sanitoria within or without
the state. An arrangement has re-
Gently been made by the governor
whereby cases which cannot be sent to
Pittsford may go to the Hampshire
county sanltarlun at Haydenville,
Mass, and the expense will be paid by
the state provided the patient is una
BILE to bear the burden. Under this
provision application should be made
to the governors secretary, Benjamin
Gates ESQ.,, at Montpelier, who will
inform the applicant as to the steps
to be taken. The fact remains, how
ever, that upwards of 5000 cases of
tuberculosis in the state are being
cared for in private homes and it
can be done there with reasonable
degree of safety and success, provid-
ed the rules of proper sanitation are
carefully and persistently observed.
The danger is from a few patients
who will not take the proper precau-
tions and go about spreading the dis
ease by their own carelessness. There
are also some families where tuber-
cular patients are cared for and given
all that love and duty will permit, but
proper care is not taken to keep other
members of the family from conta-
gion. These two classes of cases fur
nish the tuberculosis problem of the
state of Vermont. The disease is be-
inp ora d11allv cOnu11orod in oil civil
lied countries, but much more re
mains to be done and the state Oliver
| mont should not be behind the other
| states for Vermont is one of the
states where the problem is serious.

gence on this issue.-Bennington Ban

 LOSS $3OO,OOO
Sixty Men Out of Work As Result of Disastrous Blaze
 in Long Hill.

Investigation today at the ruined plant of the Long Hill QuarrIes Co.,, where tungsten has been mined for several months, failed to disclose the source of the fire that broke out there Saturday.
 RIhomas Edwards, who with Thomas A. Kirkham, president of the Berk- shire Fertilizer Go. of this city, are conducting the mine, said today: '"We are looking for suspicious circum- stances but haven't been able to find anything that would indicate incen- diary origin. The fire may have been started by many things, no trace of which would be 1eft.'
 The wooden structures of the mine plant were destroyed by a blaze that broke out Saturday afternoon, after the days work ended. The loss is es- timated by MT. Edwards at $3OO,OOO which is covered by insurance accord : ing to his statement. Edwards and Kirkham are the 1esses from the American Electric Speciality Go, (Which had leased the property from Fred C. Beach of Stratford
 We don't know when the owners will rebuild" said MT. Edwards. "and won't until the insurance matter is ad- justed. The wooden buildings will be replaced by concrete structures'
 Nearly 60 men were employed at the mine. These are not working to- day.

WIFE KILLED BY EXPRESS .HOPKO DYING AFTER VAIN
 ATTEMPT TO RESCUE HER
STRIKE ENDED. GIRLS PARADE
 BACK TO JOBS
Corset Workers March Through Streets to Batchel-
 Ter and Grown Shops.

<The 1,2Oo girl strikers of the George c. BatchelIer and Crown Corset Cos. returned to work this morning with the working conditions to which they objected, remedied.
 A mass meeting of the girls was held at Machinists hall in Cannon street and thence, they marched in body to the factories. There was no demon stration and the parading was quiet. The girls took their places in the fac tories at 7:30 o'clock.
 The strike at the Crown Corset Co. occurred when a non-union girl re- fused to join the organized garment workers. The union girls asked to have her removed by the officials to some other department or compelled to join the organization. When this request was not compiled with the girls walked out.
 The George c. Batcheller Go. cor set workers followed a week later, striking in sympathy with the Crown girls, because, they alleged, Crown work was being~done in the Batche1ler factory. This the company officials denied.
