vERMONI-S FIRST SOCIALIST
MAYOR,

r. F.. langley Of the Barre Times had
traton as mayor during the past year
that we In common with other news
papers accepted his reelection as a mat
ter OF course. This seems to be a year oil
surprises. and Barre in addition to
swinring from the dry column to the
wet by majority of los. after many
years of no-license, elected Robert Cor
don. socialist. mayor by majority OF
Isl.
The Granite City thus enjoys the distinc-
ton Of electinc AZ mayor the first social
ist evor selected for this position in any
Vermont city. It is significant that tho
Times accepts the result both generous
~ and philosophicaliy. 1t looks for a
year Of progress in Barre and pays Mr.
1Angiey's successor the following tri-
butte:
"Barre's new mayor, Robert Gordon,
comes into Office with a good, clean rec
ord as a citizen and as n man. During
the campaigns in which he has been adj
vanced a a candidate for office he has
conducted himself in a manner above re-
proach and, whenever possible. has dis
Countcnanced any efforts in his behalf
which wero not fair and above boa rt.
Ills record n candidate has been ,ncri-
ltorious at all times. rejecting in large
inca sure the character of the man HIM
self Mr.. Gordon has been known to a
considerable part of the people of Barre
for many years and ny all OF them. VIC
believe, he has been held in high esteem
Flo has been Il resident OF Barre for q
long period and, while not heretofore ac-
lively engaged in municipal affairs, has
been in Il position to be "A close observer
OF conditions The Times herewith eX-
tends its congratulations to the new
mayor and hopes for him a successful ad-
m'nistration along progressive lines in
Keeping with the advance of our little

VERMONT MAPLE SUGAR.

(From the ST. Johnsbury CaledonIanD
The annual report of the commissioner
of agriculture of Vermont shows that IN
the wear 1915 there were 5..h9Si sugar
NAPLES tapped and 7.5l0.33t pounds of
sugar and TT, 39i gallons of syrup pro-
duced in Vermont. Figuring the sugar nj
10 cents a pound and tho syrup at one
dollar a gallon I'VE think these figures
are low the total value of the product
was 81 ,3565S. practically G cents per trea
tapped, There We're also AL, ~ maple
trees available that were not tapped in
the State. This shows that :hc maple
sugar production OF the state might be
nearly doubled. Figured a. % cents a
tree 1t would give an annual income of 81. e
2y .65l, a sum that would seem worth
while to the maple sugar makers
The statistics show three counties with
production OF over GOO pounds of
sugar each. They are Franklin county
with l,06,.5S pounds of sugar and IL,
Ibl gallons OF syrup, Caledonia with L.
0244S5 pounds of sugar and 1910 gallons
OF syrup and Orleans with l.996ONo pounds
of sugar and S,0S7 gallons of syrup. These
three counties make considerably over
half OF all the sugar and about a quarter
of all the syrup made in the State The
proXimately 80 cents, in Caledonia u and
in Orleans 10, These figures are inter.
esting and show another oppor.unity for
Nermonters To develop into "A bigger and
better business.
