A DEPARTED CUSTOM.
Names "Haying Time" Festival
Thing of the Past.

Twenty five years ago haying time =
was the great social occasion on the
farm, leading pig-k killing time, the Fall
husking and brush burning.
There was some hard work connected
to get out at o'clock in the morning
with their hand scythe and lay down
an acre of ground before Z.
Spreading, raking, and punching oc-
eupied the rest of the forenoon and
then came getting it in. If any time
remained before 9 O'Clock at night
the hand scythes were brought out and
another piece moved down so as to
give a good start for the next morning
The remainder of the day the hay
makers had to themselves.
The inspiration for this somewhat
protracted days labor, as it would be
considered nowadays, was a jug of hard
cider, which was kept near the spring
in the field
Sometimes for hard cider rum an6
molasses were substituted, but in later
years the use of rum was discouraged
especially in Maine, as it was found
that if used literally the hired mel
were apt to lose some of their pep
as the day began to wane.
In some places an attempt was mad
to use ginger and molasses and waite
instead of the more potent beverages
but it never proved popular.
| Haying under these conditions wa
productive of much joy and also o
much hay, and it would probably hav
been continued to this day had it no
been for two things. The first bod
blow it got was the introduction of hay
imaking machinery, which obviated tn
necessity of getting up at o'clock j
the morning and working until 9 a
night.
Then came prohibition, which cause
the rum and molasses to disappear frol
the hay field. With no need of worl
ing seventeen hours day and no il
centive for the same, having has no
become a strictly business proposition
and the average farmer goes to wor
at it with about the same spirit an
the same disposition that he sets abo,
to saw cord of wood.-Portland Pres

WOMAN TO HELP IN
PROBATION WORK
Miss Lena Ross of Rutland Will Have
Supervision Over Women Proba-
TONERS and Parolers.

MONTPELIER, July Secretary
Jeffrey of the board of charities and
probation is sending out to superior
and municipal court judges and state IS
attorneys a letter announcing the APP
pointme"' of a deputy state probation
officer a. nave general supervision over
women probationers and parolers.
Ever since the establishment of the
new department it has been evident
that an effort was being made to build
up a probation and parole system that
would be effective. and helpful. Many
of our states have come to feel that
society owes the unfortunate fair
opportunity to regain self-respect and
an opportunity to become law-abiding
and self-supporting.
| When an inmate is released from the
house of correction or the state prison,
at the expiration of the minimum SEN
tence imposed by the court he is in
many instances without friends, with
out money, without employment or
home and if abandoned then is very
likely to soon return to that condition
which brought him into contact with
the law. 1t is to give these people,
| tSl'tCltilN NoHich, ldii oPpolt uHily
for reformation that the new appoint
ment has been made.
The letter which Secretary Jeffrey is
sending out is in part as follows:
"'The board of charities and proba
tion directs me to announce to you
that they have appointed Miss Lena
c. Ross of Rutland, as deputy state
probation officer, for the purpose OF
having general supervision over won.
en- probationers and parolers. 1t is
the sincere desire of the board thai
every woman released from state pris
on, house of correction or our jails
shall have that sympathetic and kind
ly supervision that will assist her il
regaining her lost place in society, t
the end that she may become a goo'
woman, a law-abiding citizen and sen
/ supporting individual.
Among the many duties of Miss Ross
! the first will be to see that every won
an sent to either the state prison o
!. house of correction has, upon her release
home, and position to go to, if sue
l is needed. We should not release fror
the state prison and house of correetio
unfortunate women and then abando
them at the doors. Miss Ross will stud
each case, determine its needs, see
boarding places with wholesome an
l proper surroundings, opportunities fc
: work and make frequent visits anon
these unfortunates.'

NECESSARY HALT CALLED.
French Railways Swamped With Par
cells for American Soldiers.

No parcel, package, box or anything
other than a paper or magazine will be
accepted at any postoffiee, express com
pany or freight Office to be sent to any
soldier of the United States army now in
Europe unless the sender of such pres
ents at the time of mailing or expressing
written order for such package from
the soldier in question which has been
20. I'd by an officer with. the rank of
major or higher
This action on the part of the United
States war department has become nee
essary in order to reduce the number of
packages sent to France. There the French
railways are buried up with the pack
ages boxes and bundles, and they are
without any facilities for handling the
ever-increasing mail.
Persons connected with the Y NJ
c. A., the Red Cross or other relief or
carnations must make requests for the
sending of packages in similar manner,
the approval of an executive officer of
high standing in the organization being
necessary.
The secretary of war and the post
master general, and a representative of
the Red cross, the \. Nj. {. A, the
knights of Columbus and other organi-
cations held a conference. They looked
over 5000 sacks of parcel post mail for
our soldiers in France and found that the
entire lot, with the exception of one or
two packages, were not only unnecessary
but entirely undesirable The mail had
reached a stage where 100000 pounds a
week left New York.
Relatives will find that they can do a
great deal better for their boys by for
warding them money for the purchase of
such articles as they want in France

Where one cannot get fuel
To burn day by day.
Though good neighbor Barrows
Supplies us with coal,
One cannot get kindling
To save their own soul.
When dawns the bright morning,
We rise from our bed
To hurry our breakfast
OF porridge and bread.
How mad ming to wrestle
With charcoal and waste,
While faintness o'ercomes us
But has to be faced!
We fume and we fret
AS we watch for a spark,
But all that we vision
Is dismal and dark.
There's Stafford and Stebbins
Ana Goodale and all,
Who used to bring kindling
Whenever we d call.
! But now we are met
With a shake of the head
| When we ask the old question
Any wood yet ahead9

And could WELD a good axe,
To the depths of the forest
| soon would make tracks;
There d be crashing and smashing
Above and below,
And the kings of the forest

Then home l would HE me
With heart full of glee,
And soon have wood pile

and controls over Sl0,000,000 of invest |

The rich have given till it hurts They
will give more. The poor have been made
rich; they have given. They, too, viii
give more. But to give we must have
rich and poor-and to have we must make

"In every department of our war en-
deavor American business men have been
called to the helm, with hut one excep-
ton. That is in framing tax laws. Politi-

exceptions never have been economic ex-

while Mr.. MeAdoo has final super
vision over taxation programs, politicians
are permitted to frame them That is
! why conservative business men are alarmed
Why don't they draft Henry p Dawson
for two months and shut him up in room
with McAdoo in Washington and let
them thrash out a program of taxation
that will not reduce American industry to
a starvation basis?
What | say of Dawson, can be applied
to other members of the American bank
ing fraternity. In our taxation programs
very few bankers have been permitted a
voice-a voice at any rate that would

fit of Brattleboro and Rev. r. H. Bos-

by the chorus added zest to the occasion
so that when cards were passed for
pledges the people were ready to follow
the good example given them by the peo-
pie of West Townshend at their rally
the night before, which good number
from this place attended
Pledges previously made were in
creased by 81 $50 and it is expected that
further pledges will soon carry this place
