The annual convention of the Yer
mont State Sunday School association
was held in Burlington Thursday, the
program designed originally to cover
three days at Barre, being condensed
into one day, partly because of the
lateness of the emergency, preventing
the leaders from arranging for the en-
tertainment of visitors in homes
The closing of Barre to all public
gatherings on account Of the epidemic
of smallpox made it necessary to
change the place of the meeting of the
association to Burlington.
The report of the executive commit
tee, presented by Chairman F. S.
Pease, of Burlington, was a resume of
the year. The 16 county organiza-
tons, said he, comprise 256 unpaid, but
devoted workers. The field secretary,
Miss Edith NJ. Balch, and the general
secretary, the Rev. H. A. Durfee, have
toured the state for the third time.
Their figures show IS towns represent
ed in convention and district institu-
ton Sc Sundays in the field; 81 schools
addressed, in addition to addresses Civ
en- at regular church services, a total
of 355 addresses. With trips to solicit
financial aid for the work, a total of
16, 729 miles of travel has been neces-
sary. The entire amount needed to
meet all the items is $472. The gener-
al secretary has served in exchange in
the Massachusetts, field, and is expect
ed to have part in the Connecticut
convention.

The approximate production of wool
during 1909 was $1,000 fieeces, weigh
ing $685. pounds and valued at $780,
900. Of those totals about per cent
represents estimates. The number of
heeces produced in 1909 was 52.7 per
cent less than in 1899. The average
weight per fleece in 1909 was 60
pounds, as compared with seven pounds
in 1885,. and the average value per
pound was 81 cents as compared with
20 cents in 1899.
The total number of fowls on Yer
mont farms on April Is. 1910, was
939, 200. Of the n, 528 farms report
ing fowls, 2,618 did not report any eggs
produced in 1909, and 4,2O7 did not re-
port any poultry raised in 1909. The
production of eggs actually reported
| for the year 1909 was $3.50, 900 dozens,
valued at 81, GOA, 900. According to the
| 18th census reports, the production of
eggs in 1899 was 6,272,00 dozens, the
value being $3.50, 900. The later fig
ures, however, are somewhat in ex-
cess of the actual returns of that cen
sus because they include estimates
made to cover those cases where the
schedules reported fowls on hand with
out reporting the production of eggs.
In order to make the returns for 1903
comparable with those published for
1899, similar estimates have been
made, the method of estimates and the
justification therefor being substan-
TALLY the same as in the case of wool.
The total production of eggs in 1905
including these estimates, was 7,037,
600 dozens, valued at $1,715,0 900. The
total production of poultry in 1909, in
Guiding estimates made on the same
basis as for eggs, was 1888, 900 fowls,
valued at $759,0OO
Although l, I24 farms reported TO-.
215 colonies of bees on hand April Is,
1910, 377 of these farms made no re.
port of honey or wax produced in 1909
The actual returns show the produc
ton of 160, 283 pounds of honey, valued
at S25, 351, and 1899 pounds of wax
valued at $815. The true totals are
doubtless somewhat above these fig
ures. The value of bees decreased
from SAT. 900 in 1900 to S44, 800 in 1910
due to 20 per cent decrease in the mum
Der of colonies.
The total value of domestic animal!
sold during 1909 was SIS, 991, 900. ant
that of animals slaughtered on farms
81, 468, 900, making an aggregate of ST,
$4,000. This total, however, involves
considerable duplication, resulting from
I the resale or slaughter of animal
which had been purchased by tn,
farmers during the same year.
The value of the cattle Gncludin,
calves) sold during 1909 representa-
about two-thirds Of the total value O
animals sold.
The census of 1900 called for the re
ceipts from the sale of domestic ami
mails raised on the farms reportin,
and the total value of those slaught
cred during 1899, which amounted, re
spectively, to So, 1856, 900 and 81, 1884, 600
The item of sales is not closely com
parable with that of 1909 when the in
quiry covered all sales whether of an
imals raised on the farms reporting o.
elsewhere. 1t is believed, however
that in many cases the returns for 189
also included receipts from sales O
animals not actually raised on the farr
reporting.

The Youths Companion appeals to
every interest of family life, from
housekeeping to athletics. 1t begins
with stories of youthful vim and vigor,

girls colleges But the Companion
does not surrender these readers when
they have entered the more serious
paths of life. Mothers will welcome
the page for little children and the
weekly doctors article. Fathers will

common foibles or caricature eccen-
tricity. In short, for less than four
cents a week The Companion brings
into the home clean entertainment,
pure inspiration, fine ideals, increase
of knowledge.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Roosevelt's Tribute to Taft Still True.

Theodore Roosevelt paid an eloquent
tribute to William Howard Taft at the
Harvard commencement dinner in
Cambridge in 1902 Among other
things Mr.. Roosevelt said:
and Taft, Judge; Taft, Governor
Taft, who has been the head of the
Philippines commission, and who has
gone back there-Taft, the most bril-
liant graduate of his year at Yale, the
youngest Yale man upon whom Yale
ever conferred a degree of L. L. D., a
man who, having won high position at
the bar, and then served as solicitor
general at Washington, was appointed
to the United States bench.
'He was then asked to sacrifice
himself, to give up his position in Or
der to go to the other side of the world
to take up an itely diff cult, an
infinitely dangerous problem, and do
his best to solve it. He has done his
best. He came back here the other
day.

court, and he knew that l had always
hoped that he would be put on the

to him: Governor. think | ought tC

would especially like to have), I dc

He said to me: Mr.. President, il

the supreme court, but if you should
offer me justiceship now, and at the
same time Congress should take away
entirely my salary as governor,
should go straight back to the Philip.

has gone back to do his part-and {
great part--in making the American

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
in all it's stages, and that is Catarrh Hail.
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh,
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing it's work. The

sold on a basis of butter fat. The
butter made on farms in 1909 was
valued at 81, 1876, 900.
Comparisons are made between 1909
and 1899 for but few of the census
items relating to dairy products for
the reason that in 1899 estimates for
farms were made with incomplete re-
ports, which was not done at the
present census. The figures for milk
produced and milk sold are particularly
affected, but those for butter and
cheese are approximately comparable.
There was material decrease between
1899 and 1909 in the amount of butter
made, and still greater decrease in
the production of cheese.
The total number. of sheep of shear
ing age in Vermont on April Is, 1910,

NV Cabin on the Hill.

WY NdOln on the Till.
1 came to my cabin home at nights aa
From long days woodland tramp, =
But no cheerful light from the window
shone Asa
To welcome me back to Camp.
l whistled when I came to the spring I.
That bubbles up from the hill,
But no one came to the cabin door,
And the camp was lonely and still. -
I heard the callsof the wandering jay,
Strident and clear and shrill,
And the song of a robin lingering late,
Near my cabin on the hill.
The ripe nuts drop from the old beech
tree,
That stands by the cabin door,
Where the squirrels are working so
busily,
boarding their winters store
A chipmunk peeped from his tiny cave
At the roots of the fir tree tall,
Perhaps twas the very one who used
To come when he heard HER call.
The moss spreads green on the little
Where the twin white birches grow,
And the crystal lake like mirror
CLEANS
In the radiant sunset glow.
The brook is singing its ceaseless song
AS it ripples down the hill,
And the mountains bound the horizon
Somber and mighty and still.
The vine she trained with her gentle
hands
Still clings to my cabin wall,
| And the old spruce tree she loved so
WELL
| Stands stately and fair and tall.
1t were heaven to watch from this
beautiful spot
| An autumn sunset clear,
But she who shared its glory with me,
Alas is no longer here
One year ago, and hand in hand,
Out here by the spring we stood,
And looked on the beauty of the world,
And thought that God was good.
And tonight I am standing here alone,
And the world seems empty and bare,
The mountain mighty mockery,
The sunset CHASTITY glare.
Ali am sure it cannot be,
She will come to me no more,
She must be waiting there for me,
Inside my cabin door.
l was sure it must be all a mistake,
And | called and called again,
But no answer came to my lonely cry,
And my tears were all in vain.
I knelt down there on the kindly earth
Mid the fern and the goldenrod,
And there, where once had known but
mirth,
I told my grief to God.
And I prayed, 'Dear Lord, thor
blessed one,
Whose mercieS never cease,
Help me to make thy will my own,
And send me some gift Of peace.
And then a voice came soft and clear,
From beyond the sunset glow,
And it said, "What / do thou knowest
not now,
But sometime thou shalt know.
And when thou shalt stand by the
Great White Throne
Where the Emerald Rainbow CLEANS
Thou shalt learn that heaven was al
ways near,
And death is not what it seems"
But other cabins are lonely and still,
And other hearts are sad,
Only be patient and kind and true,
And try to make some one glad.

words, he was not a windjammer, but
one of the active, earnest, quiet work
ers who do things.
Recognizing his ability, the speaker
OF the house always placed him on a
number of the most important COM
mittees, notably the appropriation
committee. AS member of this COM
mittee he secured for the A. & VI.
College at the last session the largest
appropriation in the history of the
school. His friendship for the A. & NJ.
College is attested by the brilliant and
valuable services he has rendered that
institution.
At the proper time he will announce
his platform of principles, and during

from the stump an account of his

vealed. but the fact that General Grant
permitted his name to go before the
convention indicated that he believed
they had occurred. After his election
to a second term, Theodore Roosevelt
voluntarily said Under no circum-
stances will | be a candidate for or
accept another nomination" He is
now an avowed candidate for another
nomination, for which he explains by
saying his promise had reference to
another successive nomination. The
coincidence is found in the fact that
both men had mental reservations
there was a string attached to each
promise.-San Antonio Express.
The similarity of the men and cir
cumstances may be carried further by
saying there was seemingly strong
and popular call for Grant as is now
for Roosevelt. The Grant wave soon
died out and he was defeated. The
same fate awaits Roosevelt.

FOR REPRESENTATIVE

DR.. ]. l.. Fountain, the present rep
resentative from Brazos county, an
nounces through The Eagle today as
candidate for representative from
the new district of Brazos and Grimes
counties, formed by the passage of the
redistricting bill by the last legisla
ture. The announcement is made sub
iect to the action of the July demo
cratic primary.
In announcing DR.. Fountain it is not
necessary for The Eagle to say one
word of introduction to the people oil
Brazos county, because he has lived
in Bryan for many years and is well
known to every voter in the county
unless perhaps to some who have
moved into the county within the past
year or two.
He is one of the county's most prom
inent citizens and one of the citys
most prominent business men. For
many years he has been closely identi'
fed with the farming interests of the
county, being a farmer himself and
owning large landed interests. His in
terests have brought him in close
touch and sympathy with the agricul-
tural classes, and during his long
service in the legislature he has stood
by them and done everything in his
power to advance the cause of agri-
culture.
He has been an ardent friend OF
labor in all lines, and the records will
show that his every vote was in favor
of making lighter their burdens and
improving their conditions in every
way possible.
DR.. Fountain served in the Twenty
second, Twenty-eighth, Twenty-ninth
and Thirty-second legislatures, and in
each of those bodies took high rank as

The two greatest commercial rating
agencies in the world are R. G. Dun
G. Co. and Bradstreets. Their opinion
is considered as a final verdict on any
questions of commerce, finance or sta.

Equitable Loan & Trust Company of
Denver, Col, decided to enter Texas
and establish a limited number OF
branch associations, they asked both
Dun's and Bradstreet's agencies for a
report on ten cities outside Of the
larger cities. Both OF these agencies
recommended Bryan as the best bust

cities. This statement was made to
