VOTERS NAME CANDIDATES
 .F0R TOWN ELECTION

The Primary election for the pur- pose of nominating candidates, to be voted upon in the general election which occurs on May 22nd. passed off quietly on Monday last with the smallest vote recorded in the history of town affairs
 Seven democratic candidates, who in the issue of the COPPER ERA on April 14th, made known their announ- cement on a platform which pledged them to economy in the administra- tion of town affairs, were nominated on the Democratic ticket without o,- position.
 The democratic candidates to be voted for on May 22 were nominate. by the following vote:
 George B. Gamble ..... 62 Sam Abraham 65 l.. l.. Fitz. CT G. W. Hartman. ..................74 s. V. Norte. 5f
 
 Under the heading on the ballet marked ''Non Partisan three of the candidates on the Democratic ticket were also voted for, together wfta four others, the non-partisan ballot resulting as follows:
 w. F. Hagan. ................. T. E. SidebOtham .............1i Ii J. A. Burgham ~..................1 15 Chas. Burman George Gamble -. ....... q Sam Abraham ................. l2
 As a result of the primaries there will be printed on the general elec- tion ballot a Democratic ticket and non partisan ticket. Judging from the difference in the number of votes cast for the Democratic ticket as compared with the non-partisan the democratic ticket will be successful.
 What the non-partisan ticket pro- poses to do in the way of curtai,- ment of town expenses, or. how the nominees propose to do it, is un- known The clear cut statement from the Democratic candidates shows a definite plan for reducing the run- ming expenses of the Town during the next fiscal year in the sum of $13,-. 236.00.

CANNED FOOD TRADE
NOW 100 YEARS OLD
Frenchman Discovered Way 10 Keep
Perlshable Goods In Air Tight
Containers.

Louisville, KY, Feb ia history
of the canned food industry dates back
100 years, according to a review at the
recent convention here OF the National
Gamers Association.
The process began to be worked out
simultaneously in New York and Bos-
ton. Thomas Lemsett and Ezra Dag.
gett of New York succeeded In 1925 in
canning or packing in crude way sal
mon. Holsters and oysters. In Boston
William Underwood and Charles Nit
ohel, using heat succeededtn packing
damsons. quihces, cranberries and cur.
rants Up until this time the canning
of food. one of the most important in.
dustries OF present civilization, was
unknown.
Cred I for the discovery OF the meth
cd Of keeping perishable goods by
heat and sealing in air-tight contain
er0, however belongs to Frenehman,
Nicholas Appert Appert, taking ad-
vantage of an offer by Napoleon of l2,-
600 francs for the discovery OF a meth
cd of preserving food for his army, be
gan experiments that, after fifteen
years, resulted in the discovery that
food could be preserved by using heat
and putting the product in sealed con
tainers.
The theory of the process, however,
was unknown to Appert and it was
not until the time Louis Pasteur, the
famous bacteriologlst, discovered bac-
terra, that the scientific basis OF can
ming was understood,
Prof H. l.. Russell Of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, using Pasteur's dis
coyery, found in 1896 that the spoil
age certain pea Gamers we're expert
encing was due to bacteria. Higher
temperature of sterilization was found
to be necessary. Prof. RusselPs work
was continued by Prof. Prescott and
Prof. Underwood Of the Massachu-
setts Institute Of Technology
Canning Of oysters was begun in
Baltimore in 1S40 and the following
year the sardine industry had its birth
in Maine. The Pacific Coast, heweyer.
did not enter the canning field until
1856
However II was not until the Civil
War that a canning factory was estab-
lished
Canned goods, which formed the
principal rations of the armies In the
World War, obviated the necessity OF
soldiers at the front going without
food for several days at time, such
as had been the case in earlier wars,
It was pointed out at the convention.
The War Department. during the
year and a half the United States was
at war, purchased for the American
and Allied Expeditionary Forces 80
100000 cases of canned vegetables
and 100000 cases Of canned fruits,
it was shown.
The annual output of canned foods,
according to the Census Bureau. ex.
ceeds $500 100000 in value.
In order to create interest in canned
goods the week Of March rs has been
set aside as National Canned Foods
Week.

Burlington, Feb. 1.-THE delegates
TO the annual mid-w.nter meeting oil
the American Legion, department OF
Vermont, held here, adopted the fol
lowing resolution regarding the sol
dlers' bonus:
Resolved; That we again request
our senators and congressman al
Washington to support by their votes
the so-called 'five-fold adjusted com
pensat!on or Fordney bill" which has
been presented to congress by tn,
American Legion and Is recognized
by large majority of the citizens o.
the country to be just and equit
able claim of the ex.seryice men.
Resolved: That the legion has no
fear, whatsoever, that the falr-mind
ed and appreciatiye citizens of the
state will be led astray or Influenced
in the least by the unfair and unjust
propaganda against the adjusted com
pensation bi | now pend ng in con.
gress. The American people have
already recognized the merit Of ex-
service men, and congress Is now
called upon to provide the necessary
funds for an adjustment OF the sol
diers compensation and cancel the
obligation to the soldiers w;lo re-
sponded to the call in defense of the

Another league Tombstone.

One of the leading financiers Of
New York has disposed of his con.
trolling stock interest in the New York
Evening Post I'm confirming the re.
port Of the sale he said MY original
purchase of the stock three years ago
was made largely in response to the
hope expressed by many friends Of
the paper that it should be enabled
as an entirely independent publication
TO continue to render a useful service
to this community
II was reported at the time the fin.
ancier in question acquired this con.
trolling interest land subsequent actiy-
tiles of the paper lent color to the re-
port) that he had adopted this as a
means of propagandlzing in favor of
the Wilson league of nations for which
the Post labored early and late follow
ing this transfer Of control. The
league having been rejected by the
nation he now has no further use for
the paper, apparently. The fact is
commented upon as indicating the
lengths to which a certain group Of
luJeInNllOnal DhnheTb were Wiling w
20 in order to put the league proposal
through, enmesh this country in the
tolls of European diplomacy and make
the United Stats the agency for some
huge financial deals. The cost of the
Post must have been in the hundreds
of thousands of dolls%} but because Of
its large circulation 1t was evidently
believed to be worth the money in
helping the internationalist cause
along. This is but one instance in
what was probably the greatest cam
paign ever undertaken to induce the
American people to break away from
their allegianc to the Federal Const-
tuition and the teachings of what Pres.
ident Harding calls "the Founding
Fathers And the campaign failed
miserably. We remain free and un.
trammeled nation, thanks to the com
mon sense of great American major
