BoSton'S Historic Hill.

COppS hill was the most nOrtherly Of
the three hills which were the distin-
gushing feature Of Boston at the time
Of it's settlement. At one time it was
known as Windmill hill, from the fact
that at one time big mill stood on the
summit. Later it was known as Snow
hill. The name Copps hill is supposed
to have come from William COpp, a
cobbler, who lived on his own home
stead near the hill. Copps hill was the
second burying ground which was es-
tablished in the town on the summit of
the hill where the old mill had stood.
1t was first used for interments in 1860,
and for long time was known as the
"Old North burying ground" The old
est inscription it contains, dated Au-
gust Is, 1862, purpOrting to commemor-
ate the deaths Of John Thwing in 1920
and Grace Berry, in 1925, both some
years before the founding of the col
ony, are thought to have been altered
by some mischievous boy with his
knife. It is related that the British SOL
diers, while occupying the burying
ground as a military station, used the
gravestones for targets and marks of
the bullets were visible for years after
the revolution.

FINAL PLEDGE CARD FIGURES.
County Ranks High. Variety of Ex-
cuses by Non-Signers.

The final figures Saturday night
show 1925 food pledge cards signed
in Orleans county, or a little more
than 40 per cent of the county's
minimum quota which allows seven
persons to a household, or 80 per cent
Of the maximum quota, which allows
only four persons to a household.
The canvass shows that the aver
age in this county is five persons to a
ireside which would have called for
1913 pledges had every housewife
signed. The difference between these
last named figures and the actual
number of signed pledge cards repre-
sent very nearly the number of re-
fusaIs. The various towns returned
the following number of pledges:

Total for county 1925
The reasons, given by the compar-
atively few, for refusing to sign the
pledge card would make an interest
ing story and furnish excellent ma
terial for Newton Newkirk or some
other humorist.
One good woman said it was ga
scheme to save the wheat to make
whiskey" She must have had some
very exclusive information. Two or
three said they wouldn't sign until
tobacco fields were turned into rails
ing useful crops" Question, how
much aid would this give our boys in
France or our Allies the coming win
ter?
Another said she would "have some
-four to thicken her gravy" "I am
Just as saving as [ can be now," in
sisted several others. One said she
could get along but thought her hus
band would not go without bread.
Another refused because she was
going to move away. One said she
couldn't live up to the home card,
while another said "If I don't sign
any pledge [ won't break any"
Several refused because they did
not realize the Importance of it, but
will later do so no doubt, and some
because they could not understand
the English language and were tinid
about signing. More than for any
other single cause refusals arose
from fear that the government
might seize the whole or a part of
the supplies on hand.
On the whole, it was a great sue
