MAKE MAPLE SUGAR
Vermont Boys and Girls Made Large
Quantities of Maple Sugar
Last Year

When sugar was scarce last year,
hundreds of boy and girl club mem
bers began raising sugar beets and
keeping bees to help supplement til.
cane-sugar supply. In Vermont. the
boys and girls, who belonged to The
clubs organized by the Department
of Agriculture and the State Agricul-
tural College decided to do their bit
by increasing the production of maple
syrup.
Last year the leaders of the boys
and girls clubs undertook to have
syrup making one of the chief pro-
jects of the clubs in the state. One
club in Lyndon was given the use of
a 1000 tree orchard and this was run
as a demonstration camp. Twenty
boys were employed to break roads,
gather sap, chop wood, stoke fires,
and boil, strain, and deliver the
syrup. The best methods were
taught in this camp and absolute
cleanliness was insisted upon. The
output was judged to be among the
best made in the state, and the boys
took much interest in doing the work
so the standard would be maintained.
A festival concluded the work of the
season, with 1000 people attending.
The proceeds were used to carry on
the work of the club for prizes, ex-
penses of exhibits, etc. The work will
be continued this year.
One little girl in Caledonia county
gives the following report of her
maple sugar work: 81 love outdoor
work and thought l would like to
make maple syrup, so I hired my
grandfather and horse to help me tap
the sugar trees. I paid him 20 cents
an hour. I was able to borrow 81
wooden buckets which I needed for
the work. I took them home, tight
ened the hoops, and washed them
thoroughly before using.
81 tapped the trees 2 or 3 feet from
the ground and bored the holes 1 IL
inches through. Into these we drove
the spouts on which we hung the
buckets.
"While waiting for the sap to run
we built an arch and a sap gatherer.
took the sap to the sugar house and
strained it through flannel cloth
and boiled it to ZIG degrees. This
syrup was then strained through sew
eral thicknesses of flannel into milk
can to take home. 1t was allowed to
settle over night and was boiled the
next day for syrup at 219 degrees and
for sugar at 232 degrees. To make
maple cream, I cooled the syrup to

WOMAN's SUFFRAGE
FORM ALEACUE TO
PROTECT RIGHTS
Non-P Partisan, Non-Militant,

Rules
NAME NOT DECIDED

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 28-Fol-
lowing the organization of a non
partisan, non-militant and non-sec-
tartan woman's voters league, the
afternoon session of the National
American Woman Suffrage associa-
ton adjourned late Wednesday with
out deciding on name for the
league.
1t was agreed that the name should
not be applied until after the conven-
ton in February, 1920, which is to be
a centennial celebration of Susan B.
Anthony's birthday. Arguments also
were advanced that the name of the
association should not be changed
while there is still a fight for suffrage
in many states and the federal amend
ment unratifed.
The object of the new organization
which is in the form of two houses,
one composed of delegates from vot-
ing states and the other from nom
voting states, is to secure protection
in their right to vote to the women
of the United States by appropriate
national and State Legislation and to
increase the effectiveness of women's
vote in effecting better government.

NEWPORT LOCALS
Sugar House Destroyed by Fire

Thursday morning at six o'clock
the sugar house on the Clifford Bar
low farm located in Coventry, was
destroyed by fire, also the contents,
which consisted of five pals of sugar
and about 20 gallons of syrup. The
sugar rig which was badly damaged
consisted of one Monarch and one
John Geer Evaporation. The fire
caused a heavy loss as there was no
insurance on the building or con-
tents. How the fire started no one
knows. There was little fire left
the night before. Mr.. Barlow has
nearly 1000 trees and will continue
sugaring until the season closes.

My dear Mrs. Duffy
1t is with deep regret that inform
you of the death of your son, Corp.
Harley Wesley Allison, who died of
pneumonia, and | extend to you my
deepest sympathy in your bereave-
ment. Corp. Allison was an excellent
soldier and while we were in the lines
he showed unusual bravery and de-
votion to duty. He was loved by
his comrades and his officers, and
as commanding officer of Co. B, l
desire you to know that the whole
company grieves with you in the loss
of our comrade. 1t seems hard I
know to lose your son after the war
is over, but we put our trust in Him
who does all things for a good pur-
pose. Your son died for his country
just as truly as if he had been killed
on the battlefield and his death was
q noble one for a noble cause.
Most sincerely yours,
Jas. L. Wills,

He left his home in perfect health
He looked SO young and brave,
We little thought how soon he'd be

Are Women Angels?

1t is no uncommon thing for the
men to call the women angels, but
do they mean it? l know of no
woman who has ever used such
poor taste at such a time as TO ask
a man just what he meant by such
an accusation, but here is an in.
stance of a man who explains
for us.
"A veteran of the world war has
returned after months of associa
ton with French maidens and
women war workers and firm con
viction that women are angels. He
gives the following as positive
proof.

2. They are continually harpine

8. They never have an earthly
thing to wear."-Ex.

The Right Spirit

A person has community spirit
when he realizes how his own sue
cess and welfare and enjoyment de-
pend upon the prosperity and we'll
being of his whole community. and
he must be willing to take hold with
his neighbors in joint efforts for
the benefit of the whole community.
People used to devote nearly their
entire attention to working for their
own success. BY a constant hustle,
they might be able to get ahead of
less energetic neighbors, and get a
little more than their share of the
general prosperity.
But when a man rises to the point
of community spirit, he sees that if
he merely tries to outstrip his COM
petitors, he is never going to get
very far. They are going to be stir
red up to outstrip him. and business
will be dog eat dog" kind of life.
When a group of men get COM
munity spirit, and begin to work not
merely to get business for the whole
group and the whole town, then the
good returns begin to flow in. They
gain benefits they could never have
attained by working individually,
amply compromising them for all
time put into community enter
prises.
Community spirit frequently be-
gins by general agreement to work
CO operatively for business enter
prise, but if it is the real thing 1t
never ends there. 1t works for all
good town causes, and is never salts
fed until the town is equipped with
all the facilities which a place of
the size can expect. If we can pro-
mote that spirit here in Monroe City
we shall accomplish results that
once would have seemed visionary.

Lost" 81 Years

How a man was lost" for thirty
seven years has been uncovered in
a suit for $13.31S13. filed by the
state of Iowa against the Nashville
Trust Company, guardian of Louis
Laitenberger. Iowa's claim is for
thirty-seveD years maintenance of
Laitenberger in the Iowa State
Hospital for the Insane at Mount
Pleasant. During the greater part
of that time he was being sought by
relatives and lawyers. Less than a
year ago he was found and brought
back to Nashville. for he is sole
heir of large estate. Laitenberg-
er's mind was hopelessly unbalanc-
ed. but the court appointed the
Nashville Trust Company as his
guardian, and he was placed in a
local hospital. Now the state OF
Iowa, which for thirty.seven has
been boarding and caring for
Laitenberger at public expense,
seeks to collect from his estate the
regular charge made for keeping
the insane who are able to pay foI
their maintenance in the Mount
Pleasant institution.
