How the pleasures Of JOY have their pain.
For though exiied / rove from the heart
OF my love.
And the sivery sheen of Champlain,
Yet ! turn for my joy like the sun in the
sky.
For a glance at your mountain and plain.
And there ! behold all your glory of
old,
In the silvery sheen Of Champlain.
Though wander away through eternity's
day,
Over valley and mountain and plain.
shall see nevermore such a beautiful
shore,
As the evergreen shores Of Champlain
Like the bird on her wing in the sunshine
of spring.
That is singing through mountain and
plain.
sing evermore of your beautiful shore.
OF the shores Of the lovely Champlain.
And ! Danish all cares and the fight Of
the years,
All the griefs OF my heart and their pain.
When turn to your breast for the riches
Of rest.
In the silvery sheen of Champaign;
All, thou lovely Champlain ! will sing
my refrain,
Though ! see your bright sheen never
more.
And fondly I'll dream Of your bosom s
bright CLEAN.
And the sheen of your silvery shore.
REFRAIN:
Though an exile l roam evermore from
home,
From the beautiful shores of Champlain.
Yet Ill dream evermore OF that ever
green shore,
OF the slvery shores Of Champlain.

JOHN v. PIPER VANISHES.
Former Assistant At College of Agfi-
culture Mysteriousiy Gone.


Prof. George p. Burns Of the depart
ment of botany in the State University
received word yesterday Of the disappear
ance In New Brunswick, N. j.. Of John V.
Piper, a graduate of the college Of agri-
culture last June and assistant until last
September Of Professor Burns. New
Brunswick newspapers display a picture
OF Piper prominently. together with long
accounts Of the case, the police there have
been searching steadily for him, and even
the boy scouts of the place have been
hunting high and low, all to no purpose.
He was a man who didn't know when to
stop work. say those who knew him here,
and just before he vanished at ten o'clock
last Saturday night had been complaining
of feeling very tired His mother is Mrs.
c. F.. Aldrich Of Springfield. and his wife
is said to be a Vermont girl They have
two children.
Young Piper was an unusually brilliant
student. according to Prof. Burns. who
knew him probably more intimately than
any other member Of any of the univer-
sity faculties His means were not album
dant, however, and he largely worked his
way through the college Of agriculture.
spending the full four years. Long before
receiving his diploma however. he was
made assistant to Professor Burns. a po-
sition he retained for two years. He gave
il up last September to accept the position
of assistant and graduate student Of the
State college Of agriculture and expert
ment station of New Jersey.
His work as a student was not the only
activity with which he busted himself,
however. while in college. He was an ac-
tive member OF the Young Mems Chris
tan association of the university and for
a while one of its officers He belonged
to the Alpha Zeta fraternity.
Less than a week ago Professor Burns
heard from him. but there was little in the
letter to indicate Piper's state Of mind.
The letter merely asked for a recon-
mendauon. which Professor Burns was
glad to give him, for a new position, the
precise nature Of which Piper did not
make known.
Professor Burns heard Of the disappear
ance through John p. Helyar. professor
Of botany at the New Jersey State Col
lege Of Agriculture and Experiment Sta
ton. The letter said nothing about Pr
pers having been behaving In peculiar
| way but mentioned his having declared
that he was very tired. Piper had beer
working extremely hard, as usual.

UP GO THE PRICES
Farmers Holding Potatoes for
$500 per Bushel.
Not Certain That Owners Would Sell
Even At That Price-sugar situa-
tion Also smbarrassing-
Shortage in EgEs.

Wednesday. Feb. q, 1917.
The potato and sugar situation was
the principal item Of interest In the mar
kets yesterday.
Some dealers yesterday paid as high as
$3.50 per bushel wholesale for potatoes,
selling at retail per peck at 70 cents.
The supply of potatoes Ia very short.
due. partly, to a poor crop in Chittenden
and Addison counties, but principally to
the fact that farmers are holding them
back to await the high price day.
1t was said yesterday by one merchant
that he was told of a certain farm owner
who is said to have 600 bushels Of
potatoes, which he has held back ever
since last fall. The man said at first that
he was holding out for s. per bushel.
When the day came that he could COM
mand that figure he refused to sell until
he could get $50 That day came yes
terday. Now. some say. tho figure may
so up to $. in fact 1t may In very few
days.
There is. too. the fact that potatoes
run the risk Of being nipped when being
brought into market these days.
A story was told yesterday Of farmer
who one day last fall agreed to furnish
certain grocer in the city with
specified number Of bushels, at CLIO per
bushel. The next day. or soon thereafter
the man noted a rise in price, and there
upon refused to deliver his potatoes. al
though the market rise had occurred after
his agreement had been made.
The sugar situation was not considered
very serious by dealers yesterday. Strikes
In sugar refineries and the revolution in
Cuba were blamed for the increase but
1t was not expected to last. One dealer
yesterday morning let SO 500 pounds Of
sugar at eight cents. when he might
easily have commanded 10 cents per
pound He has plenty Of sugar upon the
way. however. Some grccers have been
doing out sugar in the two-pound lots
to their customers
Others changes in the market prices are
not very important this week. There is
shortage of eggs that threatens to be-
come slightly serious. No cold storage
eggs are available and the supply of
fresh eggs is by no means adequate to
the demand. It was said yesterday. The
price of grain is steadily advancing.
