The Supreme Court has decided
that the Adamson law is constitu-
tional, but the strike was prevented
before this was announced by the
surrender of the railroad managers.
They would have been clearly within
their rights in waiting the courts
decision but for the good of the
country they gave up their rights.
The American people can thank the
patriotic, level-headed railroad mana

industry and the life of our nation.

MAPLE SUGAR PROSPECTS
BRIGHT.

Vermont Makers Preparing for Heavy
Run Of Sap.
misunderstanding to indications
In this vicinity this is to be the big
gest year for the famous Vermont
product that has been recorded in a
long time.
Although it is still considered too
early to tap the trees, the sugar max
ers are laying in an unusually large
supply of "sugaring apparatus" in
readiness for the first run of sap,
which is expected within the next
two or three weeks. There seems to
be general feeling among sugar
makerfs that maple sugar is going to
bring high price this spring, on &C.
count of the scarcity of all other kinds
of sweetening. Many of the older
sugar makers, feel also that this will
be an unusually good sugar season,
and that this year will bring one of
the biggest sap runs" that has been
seen in long time.

Camp Abnaki Donation Day
March 20.

In June, 1901, Byron N. Clark and
Harry R. Bolles, of the Burlington
Y. M. C. A., took Fl boys of that
city to Cedar Beach for a ten-day
camp. They had three sleeping
tents, dining tent, cook tent, a
kerosene stove on which to cook the
meals, and one row boat. But the
boys had a good time and got some
help. Next year they went again to
the same place. The following year
a smaller crowd went to Mascoma
Lake, in Enfield, N. H. The next
two years the party was combined
with the boys of Plattsburg in their
camp at Chazy Lake, N. Y. The
two following years the Association
of Burlington, Montpelier, St.Johns-
bury and Franklin county united IN
camp at Silver Lake, Franklin.
From 1908 to 1915 the camp was To-
Gated on Hibbard's Point, North
Hero.
In March, 1916, the State Commit
tee Of the Young Mems Christian
Associations of Vermont, which has
been conducting the camp for the
past eight years, purchased site of
81 acres of desirable land at the
southern end of North Hero Island
Suitable buildings were erected, and
the property is valued at $4,000. AL
ready about $4,000 have been paid
on it.
During all the years in which the
camp was moving from place to
place it was growing in attendance,
in influence, and in the splendid re.
suits for which it has become so wei
known about the State and country
Last summer there were 229 camp
ers, representing 65 towns, 10 states
and five countries.
Camp Abnaki is not camp where
boy spends his summer vacation ir
idleness, but one in which the -four
sides of life are emphasized by ar
active program in each-physical
social, educational, spiritual. 1t is {
camp of Christian ideals and Chris
tan leadership. 1t is open to any
honest boy who has passed hi
twelfth birthday. In order to dc
the largest good for the larges
number it is run at the low rate O.
$500 week, so boys from homes o.
moderate means may receive it
help.
The State Committee is very anxi
Gus to make another payment on thu
property on March 31st, when it
financial year closes. So it. has de
cided to observe state wide Cam
Abnaki Donation Day, on Thursday
March 20, and to ask for contribu
tons from the people of the Stat,
who are interested in helping tn,
boys. The Committee earnestl,
asks gifts from great number O
the people of Vermont on that day
men, women, boys, girls, people il
all walks in life. Any sum, no mat
ter how small or how large, will b,
gratefully received and acknowledge
ed. The money and checks SHOULD
be sent to Floyd L.North, Treasurer
80 Church St., Burlington, VT, o
to Byron M. Clark, Y. M. C. A
Building, Burlington, VT, on tina
day or any time previous.
If one cannot give money ant
would like to help, other gifts ma,
be sent, such as books, disc records
tools, games, athletic supplies, furni
ture for the long house, piano, hang
ing lamps, framed pictures, tents
or other supplies.
Let all help Camp Abnaki to hell

Just why should those members of
the legislature who oppose the adj
ministration program of legislative
action be termed "standpatters", ,
"obstructionists" members of the
ring, ETC.? Are not these PROPOSE
tons open to a careful and thought
full consideration by the individual
members of the legislature, or must
they he slammed through on the
governors say so? We believe the
administration bill establishing a
board of control vicious" and un-
called for and no part of a policy of
retrenchment. 1t creates the SUI.
prone commission in government
administration, sort of court Of
final resort from which there is no
appeal except to the people, and that
in large number of instances comes
too late to meet timely conditions
that may be unfair and unjust.
This commission will add much to
the cost of state government and we
do not believe will return a penny's
value in a more just and equitable
administration of state affairs. We
send members to legislature to ham
die these questions to do a little in
dependent thinking and not tumble
over in their haste to take some
body's say so on the right or wrong
of legislative enactmentS. We are
glad there is some of the Green
Mountain spirit left in Vermonters,
and are proud of those members of
the legislature who seek to get at
the right of every question by caro-
full, thoughtful consideration and
are not afraid or ashamed to speak
out what they think. The Herald
may be all wrong in this-we may
stand alone, seemingly out of sympa-
thy with the wave of new order
of things, but we are great believer
in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in thought
and action on all these matters
touching the public veal.

In Mabel Syrup's Colyum in the
Barre Daily Times, Mabel asks, did
you ever pause to ponder over the
deviation of proper names that the
eye encounters as it travels over a
map of Vermont" The query con-
tinues by taking up those towns in
the state where the deviation is
most noticeable and includes this,
"Is there a beach in Brighton?"
We are glad to say that the devia-
ton in this instance is not so glazing
as implied for there is a beach in
Brighton, one Of the finest found on
inland waters. A long beach of
white sand, that makes a delightful
promenade for tourists, campers and
bathers. The clear crystal waters
of our beautiful pond-we prefer to
call it lake-washes over this white
sand with a never ceasing ripple and
rhythm that makes it enhancing
We hope Mabel may have the pleas
ure of watching the play of the
waves on Brighton beach some day,
that she may see the deviation in
this instance is not so marked as a
cursory glance at the map would in
dictate. When she saw the beauties
of our lake with its island and beach,
we believe like the Queen of Sheba,
she would exclaim, "the half has
never been told"

TONIGHT ARCADE

Take thy knitting with thee and
go downstairs and see John Ross. He

rage"
Betsy Griscom made a wry mouth
at these words of her mothers but
as she was an obedient young Quak-
eress she did as she was told. But to
her sister, Clarissa, she said:
"He shall get my hand in a slap
rather than in marriage"
Downstairs big, awkward John
Ross greeted Betsy shamefacedly.
His love-making made but little pro-
gress, owing to Betsy's careful ef-
forts to prevent its progress, and fin
ally John took his departure with
out proposing.
BETSY MEETS JOSEPH.
From her home Betsy stole forth
to meet Joseph Ashburn, her sweet
heart:
dearest Joseph" she murmured
as she felt his lips upon hers.
"When I return from next trip to
the Indies," said Joseph, who with
his maiden aunt owned large fleet
of merchant vessels, 1--WE shall be
married."
Betsy sighed contentedly at this.
Soon after leaving Joseph, Betsy
met her sister, Clarissa, who had
been clandestinely meeting her low
er, Clarence Vernon.
"Take off that cloak of red," ex-
claimed Betsy. "Thee knowest how
father would scoldd thee for wearing
such a flaming garment
"Thee is right" declared Clar-
issa, slipping out of the cloak and
handing it to Betsy.
Betsy donned it and, passing by
Joseph en- route to her home, she
stopped to kiss him again.
From bridge Vernon saw the two
and after Betsy's departure rushed
to Joseph.
Mistress Vernon's lying lips were
on mine but moment agow cried
Vernon, thinking that he had seen
Clarissa in Joseph's arms. "She is
mine, I tell you"
The two men set to with their
swords. The night Waterman rushed
up to stop them, but was too late.
