Porter II, Dale of Island Pond, Ernest

Gordon of Barre. All three are mem
bers of the legal profession, and the
last two named are in active practice,
Mr.. Dale having temporarily retired six
years ago when he was given an cleo
ton to Congress. When Mr.. Dale was
given an election to Congress six years
ago it was understood that he would
not attempt to "hog the office; in 9TH

to serve a short time and then retire

shown no marked efficiency in the po-

when Mr.. Dale was first elected and
although defeated he has not shown
the sour disposition but has turned to

the intervening years. Being a per-
son in every way fit to serve, Mr.. Cor
don is, therefore, a logical candidate
for the position and he merits nomina-

CURRENT COMMENT
Try a Little Psychology.

Vermont loses about $500 in popula
ton by the new census; not so much
as feared. but much too much. II is the
penalty for being so largely a rural
state. All rural communities the coun-
try over show the same trend, except
some of the newer states which have
not been fully exploited; but most
states have large industrial or mer.
camille centers that absorb the loss and
show growth to offset. Vermont lacks
these centers. A net loss in popula-
tion--even so slight as one per cent
in 10 years-is not a pleasant thing to
face and live down when states all
around us are growing. But the tide
will turn sometime. In every essential
respect save numbers Vermont is i'm
proving We are altogether too modest
in talking things up. Let's try 10 start

Publicity for Vermont Maple Sugar.

Editor, Times: The Vermont Maple
Sugar Makers association, co-operat-
ing with the department of agriculture,
is to put on large exhibit and sale
of maple products at Rutland, St
Johnsbury, Springfield, Mass, White
River Junction, Chicago and Boston,
commencing Sept up to Nov. 10, to
advertise the maple products of Yer
mont.
We have, for this purpose, collected
about Is tons of the best maple sugar
and syrup to be obtained in the state.
Now what we should like is to have
the maple sugar producers themselves
take interest enough in this work to
put up an exhibit at these fairs and
show what can be done when we really
try.
The individual producers will receive
generous premiums and silver cups for
their display and the association win
take the goods at a fair price We
are doing this publicity work to try
TO save the maple forests Of Vermont,
which are one of the largest assets, as
over s5.000,O00 worth Of maple sugar
and syrup were produced in Vermont
this year and we cannot afford to cut
our maple trees.

Equal Distribution of Political Honors.

Equal Distribution Of Political Honors.
Editor, Times; In the selection OF
senators in Washington county II has
been suggested by several county pa
pers at different times that citizens
vote for one candidate in Montpelier
and two outside that city. This was
the old idea when the convention plan
was in vogue, that one Of the larger
towns have one candidate and the 9th
er two be selected from the east and
west side Of the county.
Let US see what the situation is in
the selection Of candidates for sssoci-
ate judges.
There are four candidates in the
field. three on the west side of the
county and one on the east side. OF
the three on the west side two have
held the Office for long periods and
the other is q new candidate We have
no choice in the selection Of the west
side candidate except to suggest the
same plan mentioned in the choice Of
senators. that the voters select one
candidate on the west side Of the
county and then vote for Lewis y Co
burn on the east side.

AAANASAAN1 M" SAAS"S " all.
 California, 5000 miles from the great central markets, beats Alabama to them. California truckers and fruit growers are organized and pack and market scien- tifically. That is all there is to it.
 A part of the record in detail:
 Apples California 721 cars, Ala bama none.
 Cantaloupes- California 5000 cars, Alabama none.
 Pears California 1,345 cars Ala bama none.
 Grapes California 3,081 cars, Ala bama none.
 Peaches California 3,082 cars Ala baman none-
 Cabbages- California 19, Alabama none.
 Tomatoes California 100, Alabama none
 Watermelons- California 1,104, Ala bama 4O9.
 Potatoes-Californi 1000, Alabama none.
 Sweet Potatoes California not en- tered, Alabama 150.
 Onions California 285, Alabama none.
 California beat Alabama even in the shipment of Watermelons Not to be in the list of shippers of peaches is passing strange. 4 Alabama allowed North Carolina to ship more sweet potatoes, although this is - the leading state in the production of that tuber. E It is not near so much matter of rais- ing the stuff as in getting it to market properly. There is where California does her winning. Her fruit growers and truckers are thoroughly organized and have their common selling agencies. They pack and grade to the nicety of gnat's heel. See the California product at the fruit stands. Note the boxes and the crates in which they are packed. See how each cantaloupe is neatly wrapped; how each cherry is nicely placed beside it's neigh bor. In box of California apples there is not blemish. In crate of melons each is of a size, texture and color of the other. The California fruits are scientifically handled from plucking to delivery to the consumer. That is why they travel so far afield in such quantities. gl Experts have time and again passed on the apples grown in Alabama from Bir- mingham to the northeastern state line and pronounced them splendid flavor When the apple trees of this section are regularly sprayed and cooperative ship ment made in neat packages containing fruit of uniform size and texture, Ala bama apples will become known in the markets of the country and will bring wealth to the state.
 Had anything like the lady-bird bug now destroying cowpeas and beans in Jef- ferson and adjoining counties appeared in the California fruit and truck section as much as week ago, there would have been noise raised that would have been heard from every nook and corner and the state house would have been busy ere this in devising some immediate means of destroying the pest
 The same markets that California pre- empts now are Alabamas when Alabama
