Possibly it would be well for the con-
gregation of Zion Lutheran Church to
look seriously into the matter OF its rela-
tions with its pro-German pastor. As
we have said, there are many among its
congregation whose loyalty and whose
interest in the community as good citl-
zens cannot be questioned. But can they
afford to stand by Won Bossc ?
And so, we say that while we were mis-
taken in saying the song, Deutschland,
Uber Allies" was sung on Sunday school
program in Won Bosses church, II surely
was sung in the church

THE WEARY WORLD.

The war Is breaking the world
and making 1t sicker than an owl,
the farthcst nations are short of
: rations, and putting up a howl
: I've Just been readIn' how poor old
Sweden is one big snarl and klnk;
the kaisers war way has busted
Norway, and Denmark S on the
blink. No land SO humble, it does
not grImble; no country's so remote
it isn't reellng, and madly feeling
that it will lose its goat. In every
dwelling some gent Is yelling that
war a frightf,1 frost; IN mountain
cottage the peasants pottage costs
twice what once 1t cost. The lone
Nyanlas, as well as Kansas. have
felt the deadly chill; in Chinese
Canton they get slant on vastly
bigger bill The shepherd lonely
whose task is only to guard his
woody bunch, feels Wilhelm hitting
when down he's sitting to eat his
frugal lunch The arctic hunter,
whose spear Is blunter than any
spear should be, thinks war costs
trying when he goes buying a brand
new snickersnec. There is no tavern,
no hole or cavern, no jungle dense
and dark, no river dismal, no gulf
abysmal, where wars not left its
mark

cational scoring for creamery butter was

others have made inquiries regarding a
class for dairy butter. Owing to this de-
mand. 1t has been decided to open a spe-
cial class for samples Of farm dairy but
ter. The scoring will be held on the same
dates as the scoring of creamery samples
namely. the 18th of each month.
Samples should be addressed to the
agricultural extension service. Burling-
ton. Vermont. and should be sent to ar
rive not later than the 18th of each
month. Directions anad entry blanks may
be obtained from Prof. II. b. Ellenberger,

warded a diploma. The butter. after be-
Ing scored. will Be sold and the net re-
turns, together with the score and criti-
cism Of the Judges. will be mailed to the
party entering the sample. In this way.

BRADSTREETS VERMONT
WEEKLY TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's Burlington office reports
lumber dealers and users of lumber find
market firm but demand, aside from what
is used for government contracts, shows
no change from what was indicated in
previous reports. The lumbermen have
experienced as whole one of the sever
est winters on record. Shortage of Ia
Dor, also deep SHOWS in woods have made
lumber cutting difficult. Some Of the
smaller dealers have not tried to do any
work primarily because Of the deep snow.
and those mills which usually put into
the markets small quantities of lumber
will not be able to do much aside from
what custom saving they may have lat
err.
Manufacturers Of bobbins. veneer and
chairs find a good demand for product.
but these manufacturing interests, like
others. have found embargoes a serious
handicap, although certain. lines report
cars going forward a little more freely.
The federal government requirements
surrounding foreign shipments have also
had tendency to restrict full shipments.
Manufacturers of furniture are oper-
ating plants fully and report new business
is coming in we'll.
Retail trade is reported as freely active.
Winter weather previously has not tended
, to make for much progress in sale of
| spring goods. With jobbers and manu-
facturers collections are reported from
good to fair, with the latter classification
predominating.
The failure reports for the week number
| two. The total for the month just closed
was seven affecting mercantile businesses
These gave a total of assets of $26750 and
liabilities Of $72.S75. While this showed a
| greater number than for February, 1917
! 1t was less than the number reported fol

Women all over the city spoke Tues
day Of how courteously they were treated
at the polling places. Everything was
made as easy as possible for them. every
one was agreeable and even the most timid
wondered why they had dreaded
going to the polling places with the men
to vote.
Many women did not realize until Tues
day that they were allowing something to
slip through their fingers when they did
not have their names on the check list, but
Tuesday most Of the women Of the city
who did not vote expressed the determine
ton to be taxpaying women and thus en-
titled to vote next year.
