ellison Gardner, the we'll known
Washington correspondent whose sign.
ed articles are frequently printed in
the colmns of The West Virginian,
dropped in on Carl Vrooman, assist
ant secretary OF gariculture the other
day for a talk about the high cost of
living and one OF the stories Vrooman
told him follows:
Some time last winter New Eng
land grocer who had bought a barrel
Of apples for $3.50, found in the barrel
a note from the farmer in whose ORCH
ard the fruit had been grown, saying:
/ got $3.50 for this barrel of apples.
How much did you pay for it?' don't
know whether the grocer replied to the
farmer or not, but at any rate here is
clear evidence that the distributor,
whom shall call the legitimate mid
dleman, paid more than twice as much
as the farmer received for this prod
uct. and OF course the consumer paid
even more for the grocer was in bust
ness for his living and was DESTROYS Of
making his profit.
"If all farmers who grew apples, pc.
tatoes, onions, turkeys, Strawberries
or other crops which go directly in
boxes from farm to store would follow
the practice of the New England orch
ardist, we would be in the way of Sc
curing some extremely valuable infor-
nation which would throw light on
one of the most vital questions In agri-
culture today"

AS each day goes by, the rivalry for

ager, either with subscriptions, or
votes, or after more information.
In very few instances, candidates
are making the mistake OF polling
then entire reserve vote in their eff
forts to make good showing on the
list each day. That is a big mistake,
from the candidates standpoint. While,
OF course, 1t is wise idea to let ones
vote total grow each day, to show the
people that he is interested In his
own behalf II is very unwise to pub.
fish the entire subscription vote each
day, in an effort to head the list, or
stay near the top. 1t is far better to
create reserve each day, to have for
use at the end of the campaign. Sub
scription votes are good for their face
value any time during the Golden Fes.
tival campaign.
Competition Becoming Keen
Many candidates who have not here.
tofore figured extensively in the race,
will be found among the topnotchers
today. One of these candidates said
yesterday that she had not paid much
attention to the Golden Festival, un.
til few days ago. She had noticed
that she had been nominated, and one
or two of her friends called her I'D
at the start and told her that they
were voting for her. The rest of her
friends soon noticed that her vote
total was going higher and they an
began giving her their support, until
she said she simply had to go to work
and do her best in order to show her
friends that she appreciated their
friendship and support. Now this lady

coming to the realization that It is
the subscriptions that count the most
after all. There are several Of the
candidates who assume leading posi-.
tons during the past day or two, sim.
ply by clipping coupons, while the yot.
ers run in series. Some Of these can

their campaign. show they have not
given the Golden Festival thorough
study. Surely every candidates in the
race knows at least half dozen peo-
Pile; has half dozen friends who may
or may not be readers OF The Wset
Virginian. These candidates could
easily enroll these six friends for a
years subscription no doubt. This
would mean great many thousand
votes and these subscriptions could
be gathered up by any candidate on
the list in half an hour. Figure the
thing out for yourself. One yearly
subscription to The West Virginian
counts fifteen thousand votes. Figure
again how long 1t would take you, how
much energy you would have to ex.
pend to secure fifteen thousand votes
by clipping coupons.
II you are interested in the Golden
Festival yourself, it is supposed you
entered to win. II you were nominated
by a friend that friend nominated
you because he thought you stood
head and shoulders in ambition above
every other friend he knew. He nom
mated you because he himself saw the
opportunity and wanted to do you a
favor. He thought you would appre-
cite that favor enough to do your
best. Why, when you have an op.
portunity facing you like this will you
allow procrastination to ruin you?
Why will you put off until tomorrow
to do what you should do today? AS
you run your campaign, so will the
