The senatorial bureau Of Former
Governor Fletcher this week gets after
Senator Page for voting against the
rural credits bill which had the sup
port of Senator Dillingham; and other
senators from rural states. 1t is
charged that Senator Page in opposing
the bill was in effect voting for his
bank at Hyde Park rather than for the
benefit of the people. The rural
credits bill is designed to make it
easier for producing farmers to Dor
row money, or at least expected that
it will, and for that reason 1t may com.
pete somewhat with present banks
which take loans on farm real estate.
Farmers have always had harder
time in borrowing money than other
business men for the reason that the
value of their property varies so much
according to location and the property
Is often in some isolated spot at dis
lance from any bank. The producing
of crops and other products of The
earth Is the most important line o
business In the country for the reason
that all potential wealth comes in thu
beginning from the earth. Moreove
the future development of Vernon
depends in great degree on what 4
done with the agricultural resources o
the state. It is the greatest oppor
tunity Vermont has for the future an,

nearly every physician in Lexington

a violent chill almost hourly and
