Sir Jesse Boot, the English drug store
king" who is reported to have sold his
600 retail pharmacies to an American
syndicate, began life as the son of farm
laborer. Not content with the small
wage he earned as farm laborer, Sir
Hesse's father opened little apothecary
shop. His son, attracted by the business,
decided that the public wanted such
stores, provided they were conducted. in
an up-to-date manner. So he opened one
on new lines in Nottingham, and from
that humble beginning there developed
the greatest concern of its kind in the
world, with hundreds of branch stores in
all parts of the United Kingdom and
numerous factories for making its own
goods. Although for many years a
cripple, Sir Jesse Boot has always con-
trolled this tremendous business. His
best motto, he says, is hard work"

THE FARMER AND INDUSTRY.

The statement in a recent editorial
in The Reformer that an alleged
farmer is reported to have said "we do
not want more industries but more ag-
ricultural products to bring prices down
so that living will not cost so much -
has brought an anonymous eommuni-
cation to this office with the post mark
of "Grand Isle, Vt" upon it. Being
anonymous, it should receive little at
tention, but it shows the writer did
not comprehend the real facts in the
editorial. To make them more plain
we make further comment on the sub
iect.
After the editorial Statement, eff
any farmer, or any resident of Vermont
for that matter, made such a statement
it is surprising the writer appends
these remarks: Surprising? If your
help left for work in industries and
you had to milk ten cows night and
morning and pay So to So a day for
help (when you can find it) in harvest
1t all depends on the point of view
You must be a swivel chair farmer"
The Reformer has made no claim of
being a farmer, Fswivel chair or
otherwise. Nor has it claimed that in
dustries are not serious competitors
with the farmer for labor. 1t has rec
ognized there is serious competition in
this matter and that people are leaving
the farm to get the high wages paid
in industrial centers. 1t did maintain
that a live industrial community in
Vermont is a better market for Yer
mont farm products than industrial cen
tiers hundreds of miles aways Vermont
industries do not fix the scale of wages
that draw young men from Vermont
farms. The scale of wages is fixed by
large concerns outside this state and
if the Vermont firms do not pay cor
respondingly high wages Vermonters
go to the concerns outside the state.
Development of Vermont industries is
beneficial to Vermont farmers because
they retain in the state people desir-
ing to work in such industries, cause
the expenditure of large amounts of
money in Vermont and give the farmer
better markets for his products than
he could get elsewhere.
The writer afraid to sign his or her
name continues: CHOW why not tell us
how to hold our help. Can farmers
compete with industries in wages
paid?"
The answer to that question is up to
the farmers themselves. We would of
fer the suggestion that ultimately they
must in order to supply the food the
country needs. At present the farmer
does not understand marketing his
products. He produces them and sells
them for what the middleman will give
to save them from spelling, The mid
dleman grades them and stores them
until he can get the price he wants,
sometimes making more profit than the
farmer receives for his products. He has
to provide the storage and grade the
goods as the public demands and is en-
titled to reasonable profit on this work
So long as the farmer leaves this work
to him he must allow him to make
the profits. Possibly there will come
time when the farmers will organize and
be their own middlemen. Should they
do so, they will be in position to de-
mand prices that viii pay their help
and leave little for themselves. May

personal rights, state rights and every
other kind of rights-that is, where
liquor is concerned
In the matter of roads Mr. Agan wants
centralized control-he is against town
rights in the matter of trunk highways
he wants a definite head and definite
centralized control
Mr.. Agan's logic is that centralized
control is good thing when it gives you
what you want and bad thing when it
gives you what you don't want.

Are PROSECUTED
FOR KILLING DOVES
PROMINENT SOUTH GEORGIA
CITIZENS ARE ARRESTED BY
FEDERAL OFFICERS.

Although under the game law OF
this state doves can be legally killed
during the month of August it is a
violation of the United States game
law to STAY these birds, and as a re-
suit a number of prominent south
Georgia citizens have recently been
arrested and will be prosecuted in
the federal court for violating the
federal law by shooting doves out of
season. The most recent arrests was
the taking into custody of Sam B.
Lippett and Ray Pinkston of Albany
and S. B. Smith of Leesburg, who
were required to give bond of 500
each for their appearance for trial.
The federal migratory-bird treaty
act prescribes a closed season for
doves in South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida and Alabama except between
October 16 and January 81. The
state law allows an open season dur
ing the month of August and from
November 20 to February %, max
ing dove shooting in August or Feb
ruary a violation of the federal stat
utes on the subject.
While the government season is
from October 16 to January 81, the
federal authorities do not give any
one the authority to shoot doves in
Georgia from August to November
90 The statute on the subject pub
fishes the open season for doves in
Georgia as from November 20 to
January 81. A state hunting license
cannot be procured for person
wishing to shoot doves between Octo-
Der IS and November 20, and the
federal government in all cases re-
quires the possession of state
license.
The conflict between the two laws
has existed for some time, but no
prosecutions have heretofore been
Instituted against persons violating
the federal sections on the subject.
