MAPLE SUGAR-MAKING
On Decline. Badly in Need of Fresh
Impetus. Annual Meeting
in Burlington.

At the business session of the Yer
mont Sugar Makers association liz
Burlington last week the following
officers were elected:
President. A. A. Carleton, West
Newbury.
Vice presidents, c. E. Martin of
Rochester and w. E. York of Lincoln.
! Secretary, II. B. Chaplin, Midd]esex.
Treasurer, H. w. Vail. Randolph.
The association has decided to
send a committee before the next leg
islature to secure law providing
that listers take an annual census OF
maple trees and the amount of the
product; also compile an annual CEN
sus of farm animals. 1t was also vot-
ed that the membership fees of the
association go to advertise the maple
sugar industry Of Vermont.
Lack of advertising was one of the
things deplored by Mr.. Carleton of
West Newbury in an address yester-
dav afternoon on Conservation of
Vermont Sugar Maker at the Land
Exposition in New York. One Of
the greatest mistakes Vermont sugar
producers make, said Mr.. Carleton, is
their failure to advertise the prod
ucts. No sugar was for sale at the
exposition. The exhibitions of other
states had provided literally for these
demands. But Vermont exhibitors
did not even have list of reliable
home dealers to give out. Mr.. Garlic
ton also urged the Importance of high
quality in the maple sugar sent out
| from the state.
"The price doesn't matter,' de-
clared visitors at the exposition, IF
we can only be sure of getting what
we pay for.
Mr.. Carleton also caused some sur
prise by asserting that eight years
ago the membership of the associa.
ton was 636, whereas it has dwindled
to 40 last year.
V. I. Spear of Randolph was an.
other speaker who urged a better
quality of product.
But there are people, said he, who
don't know good maple sugar wher
they eat it. and until they learn more
they will insist on the grades which
they have been accustomed to regard
as the best.
The farmer, said he, can otter
market his sugar to the best advan
, tage by selling it direct to circle O
: retail customers, avoiding commission
men and the jobbers.
Mr.. Spear answered the usual vol
ley of questions which followed eac
address, and which brought to ligh
many problems that have vexed tn
farmers.
Mr.. Spear recommended the manu-
facture of small cakes of high grad
sugar, as one of the most profitabl
forms in which to mark ct the product
T He also discussed the relative merit
" Of sale in quantities of various size
g and in the forms of syrup ard sugar

recess. At opening, States Attorney
Robert w. Simonds had his latest line
of yeggmen brought into court. The

Monohan pleaded guilty to the charge
against him and was sentenced to
serve a term in the state prison at
Windsor of not less than four nor
more than five years. In pronounclng
the sentence. Judge Miles remarked
that the sentence was somewhat
lighter than it would have been II
free from outside circumstances
which is interpreted to mean sthat he
is wanted by other authorities when
Vermont gets through with him.

The favor with which the name Of

In spite of the statement in the col
umns Of the Montpelier Journal to
the effect that it is no ones business
who owns that paper and controls its
editorial policy it seems to be every
body's business. A few more
broadsides from two or three
able contemporaries and the con-
tinuous small shot from other
quarters will soon wreck the editorial
influence of that most excellent news
paper. And that just on the eve of a
lively gubernatorial canvass.
The Barton Monitor has hard time
choosing between it's two Orleans
county possibilities for the republican
national convention delegates, but fl
naly decides on j. l.. Lewis as the
elder and the first mentioned of the
two. However, throughout the state.
ex-Gov. Prouty perhaps has a greater
following than Mr.. Lewis. Barre
Times.
1t is not often one is called upon tc
choose between two home men OF
such generally acknowledged ability
for this important position. Agai r
the Monitor will ask: If Orleans coun
ty happens to have two men for this
place, whose ability and adaptability
for the position are recognized as above
par, why not send them both? But
for the honor of delegate at large
the Monitor believes Lewis shoulC
have preference not only because Mr.
Lewis was first mentioned and is the
elder of the two, but because Mr.
Prouty has already been highly hon
ored by the state.
As to the last sentence of the Times
as quoted above, is the Times quit
sure of its statement? So far as ou
memory recalls the position taken b.
the press Lewis is in the lead. I

The more the traveller thought about
this charge Of 80 cents for lost piece
Of cardboard. costing probably one-tenth
Of q cent or less, the more hs thought
il was an imposition and ne determined
TO learn by what authority sucn charge
was made. So he went to the main office
Of the company In Washington and there
asked the agent the reason for the
charge or for thu rule making the charge.
The only reply he received was: 1t is
the rule and has been for many years"
Correspondence was next begun with
the general passenger agent at Baltimore.
In reply TO the first letter stating the
case ia detail and inquiring as u .he
right OF the company to bake and the
reason for such rule, the agent said:
Would advise our rules require that
where passenger is unable 20 produce
the check baggage is delivered upon
proper Identification and 50 cents coli
leeted for the lost check. Our agent at
Washington was correct in making the
collection. which was entirely In accord
