USE ONE paid WORKER
Declares He Finds Strong Vermont
Sentiment Against SOlstead Act

Rutland June 14-Frank W. Agan of
Ludlow. candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor, was a Rutland
visitor to-day on his way home after a
swing around the State in the interests
of his candidacy. Mr. Agan declared that
he had found that his competitors in the
race had already made arrangements in
some of the counties OF the State with
the familiar ''bark room type of politi-
cal hacker who is willing to dispose OF
his influence and devote his time to the
candidates campaign for the customary
consideration.
Mr. Agan declared emphatically that he
would have no dealings with any of the
tribe and had so informed those who had
approached him with such propositions"
Mr. Agan reiterates his original declara-
ton that his campaign will he conducted
absolutely within the laws of the State
of Vermont.
Not one paid worker, solicitor or
canvasser will be employed by me in
any county of the State" said Mr..
Agan yeste rday. 81 was surprised to
learn that some of my competitors al
ready have made such arrangements
| which are clearly in violation of the
law of the State. 7 believe there are
enough honest men IN the Stdte 10
| support me without any promise of
| remuneration OF hope of reward of
any sort. shall avail myself of the
legal methods of placing my candidacy
before the voters of the State through
the proper advertising and publicity
and that matter will shortly be sent
out through the proper channels"
| Mr.. Agan reports that he finds little
/ oh in n no -
of the State on the eighteenth amend
ment and the Volsteah act. following tn,
recent decision OF the United States Su
preme Court UNFOLDING their constitu
tionality.
| There is deep-rooted sentiment
throughout the state in opposition to tn,

| Mr.. Agan. THE voters feel that the
personal liberty was restricted by thu
vote of the 1876 members of the las
Legislature in ratifying the amendmen
without giving them an opportunity t.
express their desire In the matter.
THAT is my attitude and the actiol
of tho Supreme Court has not chang
ell it in the slightest. ! believe thu
voters should be given the opportunit,
of passing on the question as pro

FURNITURE AS CAMouFLAGE
Sometimes Used to Cover Up Booze
 While In Transit to and From

Have you noticed that every day seems to be moving day" nowaday2 Perhaps you have and perhaps you haven't. Anyhow the observant citi- zen tells that there are many truck loads of furniture passing and repass- ing.
 Recently Killingly man who Is in- terested in antique furniture stepped up to a load of household property and in nosing around to see what he could see saw a whiskey barrel. There was no further hunting for antiques, for the man came to the conclusion that the furniture was just eamoufiage to cover up something else, something moist and contraband and forbidden n'everything.
 Down in the other end of the state, in Greenwich to be exact, the police seized a truck load of furniture and tangled up in the load was 600 gallons of pure alcohol in drums.
 For having something besides chars, sofas and a bedstead the driver will have to answer for breaking law drafted by Mr Volsted. Now, when you think you see load of furniture it may be load of furniture or 1t may only be part of load of fur niture.

Ration Service For July

Fhe dairyman that has anticipated ais fall and winter requirements of grain and has purchased his supply during July and August has usually saved money Government crop re- ports show conditions fully the equal of the average for the past ten years. Other conditions such as traffic and business make 1t impossible to give a satisfactory answer as to the future The country at large has been buying grain from hand to mouth waiting for lower prices. Dairymen are frequent " unable to purchase a sufficient va riety of grains to make up satisfac- tory ration and it has resulted in ire quent changing of feed and each change means slightly lower produc ton for day or so. The dairynlan that is unable to secure the feeds that he requires to make up a ration would be better off to purchase one of the prepared dairy rations and stick to it.
 The dairyman who is depending up- on his cows for his main source of in- come cannot afford to take chances on being without grain next winter. He should watch the grain market sharp v during the next two months and even if he does not mako large say ing he will insure having a supply then he wants it. He should also an- sieipate his warts sufficiently far ahead to allow fer delays in shipping.
 Silace corn in Connecticut at the present tune is not up to normal It is too early to determine what the crop vii be, but the dairyman should bear ft II mind and if he finds he will be shor- of silage to feed at least twenty to twenty-five pounds per day to each milking COW, he should make plans ip securing best pulp to supple ment it
 Pastures have been good but are now growing short in some sections, and good many of the herds need more extra feed than they have been getting to keep the milk flow normal Summer sllage, green forage crops or increase in the grain ration will help to keep ap the flow and insure a steady flow during the fall.-P.

Early Potato Biish, In the Count,


 The County Agent noticed in few fields of potatoes last week that early blight had set in. and 1t seems that there Is every possibility of 1t contin- uing as long as we have weather sim liar to the kind we have had the last ten days. Warm. muggy weather pro notes the spread of early blight, as is the case in late blight
 However, the early blight is not so serious as the late blight, but never theless predisposes the plant to late blight if it happens to be existent. Anything that tends to weaken the plant makes 1t possible for late blight, the dreaded disease in the potato in- iustry, and that disease that caused so much rotting last year 10 enter
 Spraying with 5-5-50 Bordeaux, and spraying thoroughly and often, is the best potato crop insurance that is ob- tainable
