The Maple Sugar Bounty.

The commissioner of internal rev.
enue writes the Free Press regarding
the conditions on which the bounty
on maple sugar can be secured. He
says that producers who comply with
the regulations and procure license
before April l next may secure
bounty on the crop of next spring,
although it will not be paid until af-
ter July l. Producers will not be al
lowed to lump their crops in order to
make up lots of at least 500 pounds,
but trees may be leased to one man,
who in that case could get the bounty
and then distribute it among the own
ers of the trees. This provision
makes it practicable for small produc-
ers to get the bounty. Blanks will
be made and issued in due season,
and all necessary information given.

expect a republican senator from
New Hampshire and another from
Connecticut. Out of these nine re
publican senators whose terms expire
we may therefore figure on four be-
ing succeeded by democrats (namely,
from New York, Illinois, Kansas and
Wisconsin, and two by republicans
Connecticut and New Hampshire).
This gives US forty-four republic
ans and forty-one democrats, with
North Dakota, Colorado and So.
Dakota to hear from. If the dem
ocrats and free traders capture all
three of them and tie the senate,
there will still be the casting vote of
that sterling protectionist, Vice Pres
ident Levi p. Morton. Vice Presi-
dent Dallas once cast the deciding
vote against protective tariff. Levi
p. Morton may have the honor of de-
Gliding vote in its favor.

There are AZ republicans and 81
democrats in the present senate of
the United States, and before the
changes called for by the recent cleo
tiOns are considered, the republican
strength should be placed at 81 by
adding two new senators from each
of the new states, Idaho and Wyo-
ming, as they had already elected
republican legislatures. The terms of
twenty-eight senators expire on Mar.
Sd next, and of these twelve demo-
Gratis will undoubtedly be succeeded
by democrats, and seven republicans
will be succeeded by republicans,
leaving nine states to be counted as
shifted, or not yet settled. These
are the senatorships from Colorado,
Connecticut. Illinois, Kansas, New
Hampshire, New York, North Dako-
ia, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
In New York democrats have a ma.
jority of two on joint ballot in eacf
of these following states: Illinois
Kansas and Wisconsin, and there i:
a tie in South Dakota. Reports from
Colorado are meagre. In New Hamp.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Another year is drawing to close, and
it is fitting that we give thought to the
multiplied blessings which we, as peo-
pie are permitted to enjoy. Health gen

husbandman has gathered his usual har-
vest The laborer is receiving d generous
recompenSe for his services. Our mills,
workshops and quarrieS are prosperous.
Interest in the cause of temperance is ac-
tive. and all the varied agencies-educa-
tional, moral, charitable-which makes
our beloved state the home of happy
and contented people, are being fostered
as never before. The manifold blessings
call for expressions of gratitude to the
Author of all good, from every home in
our land. Therefore, in conformity to
the time-honored custom of our fathers,
and in accordance with the proclamation
of the president of the United States,
do hereby appoint Thursday, the 9th day
of November, instant. to be a day of
thanksgiving and praise, and l recon-
mend that, abstaining from all secular
pursuits, we assemble in our accustomed
places of worship, and unitedly render
thanks to Almighty God for his countless
mercies and benefits. On that day let US
not forget that there is no way in which
a grateful people can offer more accepta-
BILE worship than in remembering the
poor. 1.-The liberal soul shall be made

Christian EndeaVor.

The fifth annual convention of the
Vermont Christian Endeavor Union
opened at the South church, at st.
Johnsbury, Tuesday morning, Nov.
10, and closed in Music hall, We'd
nesday evening. 1t was the most
successful convention ever held by
this society and was attended by 21C
delegates.
The meeting was opened in the
South church at 1890 o'clock. Tues
day morning with a devotional SER
vice led by Charles E. Hayward of
st. Johnsbury. The singing from
the Gospel Hymns No. 5. was led by
Sec. E. n. Folsom.
The afternoon session opened with
song service, which was followed
by Secl etary E. d. Towner's report,
from which we make the following
extracts.
At our last meeting your secretary
reported 169 societies in our state
union. To-day we have PIG socie-
ties, making gain of AZ during the
year. You will remember that out of
the 169 societies last year we heard
from 120, which showed an active
membership of 1922 aud an associate
membership Of 1540-a grand total
of 1862. This year out of PIG socie-
ties now in our union your secretary
has heard from 1852, reporting 5O57
active and 1905 associate members
making total of 6962. 1t is esti-
mated that there are 2238 active and
85I associate members in the 81 So
cieties which have not reported. So
it is safe to say that we have an en-
rolment in our union to-day of over
10000 enlisted 'sfor Christ and the
The banner Christian Endeavor So
ciety for members is still located in
St, Johnsbury, being the society con-
nected with the South Congregation
al church, its membership consisting
of 1913 active and % associate men,
bers, total of 146. 1t also reports
the largest number of conversions
the past year-about 20.
The exercises for Tuesday and
Wednesday were all of quite an in
teresting character and were of un-
usually high order of merit. The
convention closed Wednesday even
ing with a conservation meeting led
by Rev. Smith of Townshend.
The following officers were chosen
for the ensuing year: President Rev.
P. Mcmillan, Woodstock vice-presi-
dents, L. w. Hawley, Brattleboro,
w. j. Chapman, Bennington, Mrs.
M. M. Slayton, Morrisville, nj. }.

rer, E. E. Townes, of Montpelier.
Resolutions were adopted extend
ing thanks to the ST. Johnsbury
Christian Endeavor societies, especi-
ally the committees of arrangements
and entertainment to all on the pro-
gram and to the officers of the state /;
expressing appreciation of the man
agement of the convention by the
present officers, and of the hospitali-
ty of the citizens of ST Johnsbury !;
accepting the platform of the ST.
Louis convention, and call for the
closing of the Worlds Fair on Sun
days. The next meeting will be
held at Brattleboro.
The executive committe was author
lied to poocure large state banner,
and the present small one is to be
given each year to the banner union,
the one having the greatest increase
in numbers on basis of percentage.

tains store houses and Q dwellings

know the News feel better after max

is good showing for Bristol, no doubt
and is all right until compared with
