tee for the first ward to ask
every man and woman In the
ward to purchase a Liberty bond.
"These bonds are issued in any
amounts from fifty dollars up.
They are as good as our govern
ment and draw percent In
terest 1t is not necessary to pay
for this at once, but, according
to the size Of the bond you sub
scribe for; our banks will buy 1t
and hold it for you. If it is a
fifty dollar bond that is wanted.
it may be paid for by paying one
dollar to the bank each week and
at the end of fifty weeks the
bond is yours, the same rate and
terms applying also to larger
sized bonds.
1.-THE sale of these bonds will
close on the 9th of this month.
"Our committee will appoint
subcommittee composed of both
men and women to see each per-
son in the ward and we hope
you will think this over and be
prepared to subscribe for bond.
A good many Of our people pay
money to the bank each week
for Christmas fund. How much
better is this, as it will help our
government and at the same time
help ourselves.
1.-The government wants this
issue over-subscrib If possible
as 1t will notify the central
powers of our determination to
prosecute the war to the end and
will be equal to winning a big
battle.
These bonds are not taxable
for any purpose and If the gov

APPLES AND SUGAR.
Vermonters Who Sold Before Scarcity
Got Good Prices.

That the Vermont farmers who sold
their apples last fall got the better of
the bargain is the opinion Of those
who bought apples throughout the
state, the chief reason why the large
apple packers are sick of their deal be-
ing the scarcity of sugar.
The sugar plantations of the South
and the apple orchards of New Eng
land are far removed but when the
two products get into the big markets
each exerts a marked influence on the
demand for the other. The scarcity of
sugar has so lessened the demand for
apples that in the past two weeks the
price of some grades has fallen off 81
per barrel, and all of the packers are
selling apples for at least 80 cents per
barrel less than they did before that
time.
II. n Rowley of Shelburne has re
turned from New York and closed his
season s work for +. 2. LOOMS & Co.,
ness. The firm this year bought about
$4,000 barrels in Vermont. This is
not IS large a quantity as usual, and in
some years they have bought as many
as $4,000 barrels. The price paid va
ried between $3.50 and ST per barrel.
The concern usually handles about $780,
coo barrels so that a loss of 81 or sc
cents per barrel is a considerable item
in the year s income.
The demand for the apples was good
/ during the early part of the fall and
j the packers were selling at least the
] normal amount at a profit based on
! what was paid for the fruit. Then came
the scarcity of sugar and the marke'
went 10 smash.
Where the sugar comes in princi
pallv is in making apple pies. Their.
are thousands and thousands Of appl
pies consumed daily III New York an
one customer who was getting 50 bar
rels OF apples per day from the Loomi
people suddenly stopped the manufac
turc of pies. Scores of other pie manu-
faeturers did the same thing and III
delivery wagons were suddenly idl,
Even the grocery trade fell off Il
markablv, for baked apples are a fl
vorite dish in the cities and they tax
sugar. Apple sauce also disappear
from the hotel menus and the appl
market was stagnant.
With hundreds Of thousands Of DO
lars tied up in apples it is necessar
TO keep on getting rid Of the goods,
possible, and the consequence was III
lowering OF prices. Relief in the sug.
season Is promised in the cities II
{ first of the year and if this takes plal
5 OF course the apple packers will con
- through after q fashion. BY that tim
however. the boxed apples Of the We
> will be ON the market and there wi
D. be keen competition, for those apple
which were formerly exported, Will no
be used for domestic consumption,
there is no foreign market. Whatey,
happens, the packers cannot make l
e for the thousands Of dollars lost on q
count of the scarcity OF sugar
