FARM BUREAU AN
IMPORTANT FACTOR
Helps Agricultural Interests Of County,
Upon Which Mercantile Business
Largely Depends.

Copies of a letter from Horton d.
Walker, secretary of the Windhafn
County Farm Bureau to merchant

ness 1t is in substance as follows:
Dear sir
The Windham County Farm Bureau
has long since passed the experiment
tal stage and has become a permanent
factor of the agricultural interests OF
the county. And as the mercantile
business is in a large measure de-
pendent for its success upon the pros
berity of the farmer the bureau is en-
titled to the hearty support of every
merchant in town.
Brattleboro is the natural trading
md banking center for a large sur
rounding territory. A circle with a
.adius of twelve or fifteen miles, dis
torted to include. the tewns in the
West River valley, viii encompass an
area in which live over $4,000 people,
practically all of whom, outside the
village limits, are farmers. Therefore,
I is safe to say that two thirds of the
people who do their buying and bank
ing in Brattleboro are farmers. The

Bureau to. improve the farm eopdi.

stock, in culling poultry, controlling

is one dollar a year.
Never before in the memory of any
one now living have the opportunitie:

by modern methods under proper di-
rection. In no better way can this
knowledge be brought to the farmer
than from the government department
of agriculture through the county agent
who spends his time in the field giving
instructive lectures and actual demon

The Farm Bureau which has now
about 900 members, expects to enroll
every farmer in the county in its conn

the support of every merchant in the
work it is doing indirectly for him.

THINKS SUFFRAGE ASSURED
Mrs. W. Z. Harshe Says U. y. Senate
viii Give Women the Vote.


Mrs. W. f. Harshe, woman suffrage
chairman of the eighth congressional
district, has returned from a meeting
of the state suffrage association at
Jefferson City
THE attitude has changed tremen-
dously," said Mrs. Harshe. "a few
years ago if a woman appeared in a
public place she was looked on with
contempt or at least Indifference. Now
men see that women have a right to
the vote, since their wonderful work
in the war. A large majority of the
members of the House have pledged
themselves to support woman suffrage.
THE bill lacks just one vote in the
United States Senate. Last time it
lost by only two votes and we have
gained a vote since The Missouri
legislature will be called upon to rati-
fly the amendment and 1 don't think
there is any question but that it will"
