Fighting the Hoppers

The appropriation of $1,000 by the last
Legislature to fight grasshoppers was re-
garded somewhat in the light of a Joke,
but since the distinctive pests have made
their appearance in large numbers in sew

would like to know why the appropria-
ton was not made larger

In some sections of Rutland county the

under direction of the county agent or
after directions often printed in the pub

to help himself a little and call on the

Vermont's Increased Crop
Acreage

Vermont may not have filled its quota
in the regular army, although it has con-
tributed hundreds of men to other
branches of the service, but it has heed
ed the admonition to grow more crops.
The acreage planted has been doubled
and the growing crops carefully cultivat-
ed. As result, Vermont with 1882 as
its mark on the basis of 100 per cent. as
the average, stands second, all its crops
considered, among the 4s states of the
Union.--Montpelie Argus.

Forty-two years is long time to be in
the employ of one concern, and surely
that length of time in the railroad service
is decidedly remarkable. Such, however,
is the record of o. H. Henderson, who
has filled the position of station agent at
St. Johnsbury for the Boston & Maine
and St. J. & L. c. R. R. We do not
know as the latter road has ever had any
other agent at that point than Mr.. Hen
derson. Faithful in his trust to both the
company he serves and the public gener-
any is the reason for this long service.
Everybody who knows Henderson"
knows him to be courteous and kind to
all and his friends in all parts of the state
wish him many more years in his respon-
sible position, along with years of con-
tinued happiness and prosperity.

CHEAP COAL

Much speculation is had over the
results of the liking prices on coal by
the government. It would be good
thing to have cheap coal for every
body, but it is urged that the present
move viii only tend to raise prices,
from the fact that all the small coal
mines viii be compelled to go out of
business, if they have to sell their
coal for less than it costs to mine it.
This will result in there not being
sufficient coal mined 70 supply the de-
mand and prices must go up or the
government will have to take hold
of The idle mines and dig enough coal
to supply the shortage.
The high cost of living has made it
necessary to increase the wage pay
Of coal miners, which means that the
coal operators must have more pay
for their mine product. Many small
coal mines are barely making cxpcns-
es under present conditions and are in
debt for mine equipment. This will re-
suit in closing down of those pro-
pcrties and throwing OUT of employ
ment thousands of men with ruin to
the operators.

deliver the mine product to the rail

The motors came in last week and

short turns in the roads and also some
narrow places. When these have been
roinedied, full loads will be handled
and the two trucks deliver as much
ore TO the cars from the mines, as
would be done by more than twenty
