THE SUGAR HARVEST SEASON.

| The Vermont farmer who is not TAX
| ing advantage of this April maple sugar
making season is losing tremendous
boost in the financial summary of his
year. Nature promises to be very kind
Nv to the farmer who took occasion TO
be prepared and is letting loose the sap
of the maple in unusual quantity-and
quality, too, if one were to Judge by
the finished product that has been placed
on the market. The receipts from a
good sugar season swell the total in
come of the Vermont farm to marked
degree and put the farmer a long way
ahead on the road to complete independ-
ence, speaking financially. Moreover,
much of the receipts comes from out
side the borders of the state, inasmuch
as the sugar finds big market in the
far corners of the United States, and
the state is enriched to that extent,
That is new money to Vermont and
otherwise would never have found its
way into Vermont. Therefore, it is to
be hoped that the farmers viii bend
every energy to produce a bumper crop
of maple sugar and syrup of the best
quality. They need not worry about
the big markets although the local mar
kets may be glutted temporarily with
the product. They might even hold back
their output for the time being if they
find it expedient, as the prices will soar
again later on when the supply becomes
limited

the people" meaning the mob in this
case.

The misfortune which came to thu
town of Milton Tuesday through vista
tion by fire might have been averted il
part, it would seem from the reports
if the community had been better sup
piled with fire fighting equipment; but
as it is, the town has lost consider
able share of its grand list because Of
the destruction of two business struc.
lures and contents and the partial dam
age to third structure. And that
which makes the blow more serious is
the belief that one at least of the build
ings will not be replaced. These little
Vermont towns are saddled each year
with direct loss through wiping out of
industries and stores and with indirect
loss through decreased grand list and
lessened receipts from taxation, so that
it would appear to be economy to pro-
vide reasonable fire protection in the
first place The element of good luck
has been reekoned on too much in a
large number of communities in Yer
mont.

1t was quite convenient for the pur-
poses of the lynchers at Muskogee, Okla,
that the jailer was a one-armed man
and thus offered reduced resistance to
the plans to take the negro woman from
the Jail and string her up to the near
est telephone pole without the formality
of determining legally whether she was
guilty of killing a young white man as
rumored. All jails in excitable sections
of the country should have one-armed

Poland, N. Y, School Teacher Was
Helping Youth Charged With Murder.

4
Auburn, n. Y, April New light
was thrown on the murder of Ida
Beecher near Poland, Herkimer county,
last Friday night, in the text of letter
which she wrote to the George Junior
Republic on March g. 1t substantiates
the statement by her brother, Willis
Beecher, last night when he said:
"Lida had nothing at all to do with
Jean Gianini's confinement in the Utica
reform school She was interested in
him because he was backward and she
wanted to help him to make man of
| himself. She was intensely interested
in teaching and here was problem for
her to solve, and she tried to do the best
for the boy by suggesting that he go to
the Junior Republic"
Miss Beecher's letter says in part.
Have you room for one more citizen,
a boy of Is. He is good hearted boy,
one Of my pupils last year and one of
my most interesting boys. The father
thinks lot of the boy and has tried to
do what he could for him. He dislikes
school work.
He got working certificate with his
fathers consent and got work in the
mills four miles from here. He became
restless. / don't know what the trouble
was, but he got So and started some
where away from home. He was later
caught and sent to Utica. On his return
here he had nothing in view.
''If he could get in some place like the
George Junior reuublic where he would
receive a little kind treatment as well
as hard work it would be fine for him.
He responds to kindness very readily.
He is not bad boy by any means, he
is simply unhappy at home. He is am
bilious and has other fine qualities that
would develop if he only had a little
guidance to show him that he really
could amount to something if he chooses
to.
Il had a little talk with Jean to-
night and he seemed TO be quite inter
ested when | explained as well as ]
could what was expected of him"
Gianini is held in the Herkimer coun-
ty jail on the charge of numbering Miss
Beeeher, whose funeral was held in Sem
nett, near here, yesterday.

Decide Legality Of
County Ordinance

On appeal from the Justice court
the matter of the People VS.. ]. C.
Barr has been set for hearing before
Judge Franklin J. Cole at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning. Agreed state
ments in the case, one involving the
constitutionality of county ordinance,
will be submitted by District Attor-
ney Phil d. Swing and Attorney J.
M. Glassford, for the defense.
Several months ago Barr was ar
rested for selling spirituous liquors
in his pool room at lockwood. He
was convicted and served portion of
his sentence, being released on pro-
baton He returned to his former
business, but was again arrested for
violating the terms of a county Or
dinance which makes it a misdc-
meanor for person convicted of il
legally selling liquor to engage in the
business of conducting a pool hall
within two years after sentence has
been served.
In the trial before Justice Mayfield
Attorney Glassford attacked the con-
stitutionality of the ordinance. JUS
tice Mayfield ruled that the law was
constitutional and sentenced Barr to
the county Jail and to pay a fine.
1t is the desire of District Attor-
ney Swing, as we'll as Mr.. Glassfor !,
to get final ruling on the legality
of the ordinance and, should the judg-
ment of the justice court be reversed,
the district attorney will take the mat
ter to the appellate court and if the
ruling is affirmed the defense will ap-
peal.
Considerable interest among coun-
ty attorneys is being shown in the
course of the case. District Attorney
Swing holds that the ordinance is a
good one, as it is of great help in
knocking out blind pIggers, as ma
jority of the violations of the liquor
law have come from pool halls and
if the man or men who are caught
selling whisky or beer, while running
pool room, are kept from again en-
tering into the business for two years
it will in measure put damper
on the illegal trade. The county or
dinance also states that no one can
conduct a pool hall in a room where
such violation has been made, with
in the prescribed time.

fifty-one men in each line.
For several minutes the two lines

Suddenly Matthew, Frenchman, borr
