MUCH SUGAR MADE
More Than Two Pounds to Tree and
Sap Still Running

The run of sap is now pretty well
over in the sugar houses on the west
side of the State, but on the east side
and in the mountainous districts it will
continue to be gathered for at least ten
days, in all probability In the opinion
of the manufacturers of maple sugar
products there has been good run
this year, and the crop already is up
to that of an average year, with more to
be heard from.
In an average year the yield per tree
usually is little more than two pounds
of sugar. On the west side of the State
the yield is up to that mark now and
in many places has passed it. The
fear early in the season that farmers
would not tap their trees because of
inability to get help was found to have
no foundation, for, the number of trees
tapped this year has been greater than
it was year ago. While no accurate
statistics can be gathered as to the
size of the maple sugar crop this year
as yet, it is known, on the best author
ity, that more than 100000 trees were
tapped this year. This ought to mean
something like 100000 pounds Of
maple sugar A good sized crop means
lot to the farmer, for the price is far
higher than usual this year.

Many comments have been evoked
among our contemporaries by The Reg
ister's recent editorial on Church Ad-
vertising. The only adverse newspaper
criticism which has come to our atten-
ton is that by Bro. Policy who is the
new editor of the St Johnsbury Gale
DOMAIN and who is making a very lively
corpse out of that recently deceased
daily
Though hitherto famous mainly as
a fiction writer, Brother Policy can
speak the truth and, without question,
does when he advises us that the sue
cessful newspaper in a small town
should get nearer and closer to the
churches and enter into their life and
interest in so far as it can do so and re-
main non-sectarian"
We would offer ourselves the same
advice, with additional emphasis on one
point which will later, if it does not
already, appeal to Bro. Policy. In our
opinion, neither The Register nor many
of our contemporaries have anywhere
near approached the maximum of SER
vice to our communities. They have
not approached it in respect to the
churches or any other interests. They
have not approached it because they
have not been allowed to. The pub
LEGATION of country weekly is a con-
slant challenge of opportunity for SER
vice. 1t is never a question with us
what we should do to make The Regis
ter more satisfactory to ourselves or our
readers, but how1
One solution is making the expense

An Appeal to the Grange
Dear Patrons;-

Dear Patrons:-
wish to call your attention to few
matters of primary importance.
/. To the Third Liberty Loan which
is being hoated, | hope that every Gran
ger who has not bought a bond will do
so at this time, and also that the need
of buying bonds will be so clearly pre-
sented to the members that all will in
vest in them,
2. To the great need Of producing all
the food that we can this year You
have received letter from the Office of
the State Commissioner Of Agriculture,
outlining a plan for Vermont farmers
which is well worth needing, Let us
plan to plant all of the food crops that
we can properly care for. Let us re-
member that it is better to produce
maximum products on fewer acres than
to try to cultivate a larger number of
acres with the result of a small yield,
3. To the fact that many young men
have been given deferred classification
for the purpose of producing food. 1t
is their duty to put their whole time
and strength into this business. The
Governor of Vermont has asked me,
through the help Of the Grange, to see
that there are no slackers on the farms,
If men have been left at home to pro-
duce food they ought to do so, If any
one in your community fails to live up
to his classification the local board
should be notified and his classification
changed,
Patrons What less can we who are
left at home do than to support our
Government in all its requirements to
the full measure of our ability with
out grumbling or fault-fnding. Our
boys have gone and are going perhaps
to make the supreme sacrifice. Let us
cheer them on with our willingness to
sacrifice for them and our optimistic
belief in the final triumph of our arm
les.
Fraternally yours,
WILLIS n. CADY,
Master VT State Grange

To Err is Human But IL isn't
Military
Editor,
Middlebury Register,

April IL, 1918,
Editor,
Middlebury Register,
Dear Sir
In asking you for some space in
your columns for the subject of this
letter, it is my earnest wish that those
concerned will take it in the same good
spirit as the writer intends.
While on Main Street yesterday
afternoon my attention was drawn
farther up the street by the marching
of the College Battalion. felt rather
proud of the boys as did most of the
by-standers, but when they came near
er and marched by ! was amazed at
the appearance and lack of military
bearing on some of them. Some wore
tennis shoes, Others were without blous-
es or regulation caps and some had
their blouses unbuttoned. | also noticed
that smoking was INDUCED in which
is permissible only while on route
march. The Battalion / was informed
vas out for drill
What a proud observer the Gov
ernor or some of the officers of the regi
ment would be of such a spectacle |
fear that they would be inclined to save
themselves such pleasures. 1t seems to
me that military discipline is indispen-
sable in an organization of this kind
and should he applied with the utmost
vigor and to the fullest observance of
every letter of authorized regulations
Let us hope that the anticipated Off
Cial review i'll the near future will con
tain nothing but praise.
In the last issue of The Campus
was greatly amused, as no doubt
were others, to read of the manner in
which the Battalion Commander con-
ferred promotion upon a corporal, He
said, CAS- it is the custom i'll England
for the King to confer honors upon his
birthday, and since this is my birth
day | am going to confer an honor
upon a senior member of this battal-
ion"
l appreciate the Majors consid-
Grafton of the man to make him the
proud recipient of an honor upon the
birthday of hrs Major. But being
somewhat familiar with the Blue Book
of the Army | must confess that in their
desire to form rules and regulations for
the official government of the service,
the authors had entirely neglected to
make provision for the observance of
officers birthdays as special days to
execute their official functions, depriv-
ing many men of special birthday hon
ors which they themselves might have
handed out. L. +. S.

Charging for Newspaper Space
(From The Vermont Tribune)

Beginning this week, The Tribune
discontinues the indiscriminate use of
its space, without charge, in the direc-
ton of routine meetings of local church
es and societies as we'll as in the direc-
ton of obituary notices.
This is done on a purely business
basis-because regarding newspaper
space as an asset is fair to all concern
ed.
The Tribune will give each week,
and without charge, if desired, one ad-
vance notice on any meeting. 1t will
also welcome and use all legitimate
church news according to its general
public interest in religious and social
way. 1t has always planned to do this
and to assist in any reasonable way any
church within its territory. But matter
that is intended only for members of a
particular denomination, whose special
purpose is the furtherance of denomina-
tional interests, will be classed as adver-
Using matter and charged for accord
ingly.
Obituary notices not exceeding three
inches in length, which state facts Sue
cinctly, will be accepted and used
without charge. Longer ones will be
charged for at nominal rate.

OF interest here because Of the ei-
fort which Middlebury College is max.
ing to add 100000 to its endowment
is the warning which p, p, Claxton,
United States Commissioner Of Edu-
cation, gives to the effect that the
cause Of education will be seriously i'm
paired il many of the educational in
situations OF the country do not receive
substantial financial aid in the midst Of
our great distraction by the war. He
suggests that the donation OF war secur-
tiles as means OF helping both the
Government and the schools is one OF
the highest forms OF patriotism, ex-
acuy in line with the plea which Mid
dlebury is making to her alumni and
friends in the hope Of saving the College
from financial distress.
The matter is receiving so much pub
lie notice that the New York Sunday
Times of April l4th devotes nearly an
entire page to an article on "The Finan-
cial Crisis Which the Colleges are Fac
ing" This article, written by President
Charles Franklin Thwing OF Western
Reserve University, indicates in care
fully compiled statistics the great loss
which colleges are sustaining through
the patriotic detection of students from
the classroom to military service. The
table, listing the majority of the lar
ger institutions and including Middle
bury shows loss of 20000 students
in the American colleges With a new
draft coming and the continued with
drawal of young men for industrial ser
vice on account Of the high wages offer
ed, he sees ahead real peril for the
maintenance of educational standards,
Discussing what new methods and
provisions may be adopted he proper
ly deprecates the plan of borrowing
money, which certain colleges are
adopting, for such debts will fall due to
be paid in the reconstruction period
after the war when American colleges
will have supreme demands upon them
and the meeting of such debts would
seriously handicap their service to the
nation Boards of trustees, to whom
are primarily committed the financial
interests of American colleges, he says
should have a vision of what is to
come in the way of demands upon edu-
cation, and these boards of trustees
should quicken themselves and Others
to the task of raising endowments The
reward they and the donators of funds
will feel half a decade hence will be
the satisfaction that "they met and
bore these responsibilities unto the en-
largement of the thought and the en-
richment of the character of the ma
ton"
