First Vermont Infantry.

1t is unfortunate that so many in
accurate rumors have found their
way into print in connection with the
experiences of the First Vermont In
fantry on their trip to the border.
There is always more or less grumbl-
ing about a military camp, just as
there is at a Woman's sewing circle,
but the grumblers in neither case
represent the general sentiment It
is not true that the men did not have
sufficient or suitable clothing and
shoes at Eagle Pass. The quarter
master, Capt. Harry N. Eastman, was
one of the most efficient officers OF
the regiment. 1t was understood
that If any quartermaster could get
through a requisition promptly, he
could. The regiment was web
clothed and comfortably shod, ano
the word of Col Reeves that the First
Vermont was better equipped when
they arrived on the border than was
his regiment of the regular army in
the Santiago campaign in 1898 should
put stop to all cavil.
Neither is it true that the students
of the University of Vermont were
all "grouchers," complaining of the
hard work that falls to the lot of the
soldier, winning to get home, ana
vowing that they would never enlist in
the militia again. Company c had
it's full share of the work and under
Captain Cootey acquitted itself credit
ably If they had been let alone,
without home pressure to get back tc
college, they would have stood to
their tasks as Loyalty as any one
Any one who knows the spirit of col
lege students knows that the Univer-
sity boys would respond to another
call just as eagerly.
Vermont must keep up its military
spirit. The First Infantry should be
maintained in it's present high state
of efficiency. Some day, and perhaps
not far in the future. a president Oh
steady purpose will send out a call to
the colors, and then Vermont muse
be ready.-Middlebur Register.

would most like to see is cooperative
selling of maple sugar. Sugar is a
product the demand for which is grow
ing. A party told the writer not long
ago of a call from one place for $4,000
gallons of maple syrup and the price
offered for graded goods in bulk, pack
ages furnished, was a very good price.
Let us see a concerted effort at co
operative maple sugar selling.
The Monitor believes the Vermont
farmers must cooperate in order to
get fair prices for some Of their COM
modities and the faster it comes the
quicker we shall see prices of Vermont
hay, beef. hogs, sugar, ETC., equal to
those received in other states.
The trouble with prices now may
not be altogether because Vermont
markets are too nearly monopolized
and the answer may not be altogether
in cooperative selling, but the Mon.
itor thoroughly believes that here is
a suggestion that will bear the closest
study and gradual Barton
Monitor.

PRESS COMMENT
Co-onernfive senine.

Last week the Monitor quoted some
figures which have caused considerable
comment among those interested in
Vermont agriculture. These figures
show that the Vermont farmer re-
ceives less for his products than the
farmers of New Hampshire, Maine OF
any other New England state. The
difference is quite marked and in
every case the Vermont farmer gets
less than his neighbors. The Monitor
asks the question as to why this was
so. and suggested that it might be a
question of monopoliZation.
The Monitor quotes an editorial
from me ST. Jchnsbury Caledonian
% n the subject and the Caledonian
Suggests cooperative selling as pos
sibie solution TO better prices for our
farm products The Monitor believes
in cooperative selling. The Orleans
County Farmers exchange in con-
junction with the county agricultural,
association has been doing some CO.
operative. buying but the Monitor i
Il uroughly convinced that there is as
great Il field for cooperative selling.
Some years ago the Monitor sug
gested cooperative selling but there
was no organization through which
the farmers could work at that time,
Now. however, Orleans county has
one OF the strongest and most aggres'
sive agricultural associations in the
state and the farmers have organized
their own exchange and there is great
opportunity for cooperative selling.
The Monitor understands that this
thing is being done to a certain extent
already in the matter Of seed potatoes
and apples This is good news. Buy
ers are not attracted to a territory
with but a few bushels of potatoes
scattered here and there, but if there
is some central station where informa-
ton can be obtained as to the quantity
of potatoes to be had in a whole
county, he will be interested.

You bet that folks up here this week
Set up and noticed, when they read

To keep an inside horse ahead;
It's quite a generous sum to pay
To show the voters what they want;
1t also shows the need of dough
To run for Office in Vermont.

Will add, subtract and then divide
To see jest why it comes so high
To keep an outside horse outside;
You wouldn't s'pose 'twould cost so
much
To show the voters what they

1t amt no place for poor folks, sure,
To run for office in Vermont.
L guess that Edmunds when he read
That item made an Edmunds pause,
And wondered why a man will spend
So much to help to make the laws,
1 guess if Morrill, could return
To earth from his eternal jaunt
He'd think that Office comes quite high
These days in honest old Vermont.
I'd like to be upstairs and hear
What Foote and Collamer' will say
When they find out how much it costs
To be a senator today;
L guess you'd hear IN both remark
