Deserted Girl Sentenced

Several weeks ago Carroll E. Gilchrist
of Westfield, married and the father of
several children, left town in his own
team and at the same time Alice Bean, a
girl of only Is years, disappeared. Gil
christ returned home about July 1, but
the girl was not with him. Sheriff Hill
began an investigation and with the
assistance of the chief-of. police in Auburn
Maine, the girl was found in boarding
house in that city, where she had been
deserted.
When the officer visited Miss Bean
she broke down and confessed how she
and Gilchrist had lived together in vari-
Gus towns before they reached Auburn.
Sheriff Hill went to Auburn and the girl
returned with him. She was sentenced
to the industrial school at Vergenne,.
Gilchrist was arrested and in the munich
pal court at Newport was sentenced by
Judge Thompson to serve not less than "A
year or more than six years in states
prison.

Gihon Valley Grange

At the close of the last regular meeting
of the Gihon Valley Grange an informal
reception was given by the members in
honor of their Chaplain, Rev John Elliot
Bowman, whose departure to other fields
of labor all regret. The punch bowl
yielded its necter to the caressing touch
Of Mrs. Clara Newton, under whose
magic influence reminiscent mood pre-
vailed for a time, during which L. B
Bailey, after having been absolved from
all bonds of secrecy, enlivened the oc-
casion with an account of recent visit
to the summit of Mt. Calvale, where, but
for the timely appearance of a friendly
beetle of the potato bug family. he and
the worthy Chaplain must have endured
alone the fearsome sounds that prevail at
night in the forest fastDe sses of Vermont.
Having thus pleasantly passed the even
ing together the company dispersed,
trusting that the future may hold for
Mr.. Bowman an abundance of the best
things.

those who have an interest therein, is
"The Maple Sugar Industry of Vermont, y
written by Walter II. Crockett and pub
lished by the Department of Agriculture.
This bulletin is handsomely illustrated
with pictures of sugar camps, sugar ma
pies, the oldtime ''sugaring-o off " in the
open, with scientific experiments and a
reproduction in colors of the official label
of the Vermont Sugarmakers' Associa-
ton.
The bulletin is the product of the Tut
tie press and is, as it's subtitle suggests,
The history of the industry from its be-
ginning by the Indians to the present day
A story of development from primitive
conditions, when maple sugar was a
household necessity to modern condi-
tions, when it is manufactured to satisfy
the demand for luxury"
The booklet includes the subdivisions:
The Maple Tree and How Maple Sap is
Produced;
Some Recipes for the Use of Maple
Products;
A List of the Members of The Vernon
Maple Sugarmakers' Association.
Every maple sugarmaker and every one
interested in this unique and character
istic product of the Vermont woods

Too Much Reform

| Oregon has been experimenting with
the initiative, the referendum and the re-
call since 1902, when the constitution OF
the state was altered and theorists, re-
formers, faddists and various emotional
people who are coaxing the millennium
through the medium of statutory enact
ments have found the state fertile held
for their activities. Circulating petitions
and preparing new laws for the correc-
tion of almost everything under the sun,
has become popular industry with the
result that the rank and file of the voters
are getting weary of the surIeit OF uplift
and frequent changes in the laws.
In 1906 eight measures were passed by
means of the initiative; in 1908 the num-
Der submitted grew to sixteen, in 1910 to
thirty-two, in 1912 to thirty-seven and
thus far this year thirty six measures are
in sight, with the promise of many more
to come
The Portland Oregonian comments on
the experience of the state by saying that
prior to 1910 a majority of the bills
were carried. In 1910 and 1912 the peo-
pie had become convinced that the great
vehicle of popular legislation was being
grossly abused and they voted down by
far the larger number. They gave fair
warning that they would no longer suffer
the imposition upon them Of bills that
had no clear right on the ballot.
Colorado is another state which has
all the modern machinery to promote
virtue and get reform quick by legisla-
ton. Colorado has the recall, the initia-
tive and referendum, woman suffrage,
direct primaries, and so forth. Colorado
has everything that extremists and radi-
calls could desire, and yet from recent
in that state it appears that
Colorado has no real government except
where the United States army is in con-
troll With all its legislation and with
all its easy means to make people good
by legislative enactment, it had to call
on the United States government to curb
anarchy and prevent civil war within it's
borders. Colorado needs missionaries
more than it needs legislators and legis-
ation.
