WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
Schools to Cooperate With Work and
State Manager Sends Out
Instructions

WATERBURY, May 31-From the
Vermont War Savings headquarters
in this town, Mrs. D. C. Jones, State
manager, has sent out to the school
teachers of the State, about three
thousand in number, information re-
garding the work to be done in the
schools. DR.. M. B. Hillegas of Mont
pelier, State Commissioner of Educa>
ton, has signified his willingness to
cooperate in the work as he did las.
year and the same hearty support of
the plan is expected from. teacher and
pupil. A letter has been sent to every
teacher in the State endorsing the
thrift movement urging that the
teaching of thrift be a definite part of
the program in every school, and es-
pecially commencing the government
plan of the sale of Thrift and Saving
Stamps as definite opportunity for
the practical application of the prin-
ciple of thrift.
Every school in the state has been
supplied with "Carry-on' poster and
the grades have been supplied with
Thrift Chests. Evidence of the in
terest already aroused is shown in the
requests of mothers for chests for the
children at home, as we'll as in school.
The forming of Happy Jack Clubs is
to be an attractive feature of the
school campaign.
The following is the text of the let
ter which was sent to the superinten-
dents and teachers of New England
signed by the educational heads of
the six states:
To the Superintendent and Teach
ers of New England:
"When the full story is written of
the devotion and patriotism of the
great army at home, nobly support
ing those fighting for US in foreign
lands and seas, a chapter of surpass-
ing interest will record the wonderful
and inspiring work of the schools.
"For this achievements it is fitting
that an expression of appreciation be
given to superintendent, teachers

VT. MAPLE SUGAR
Census of 1919 Crop Has Been Taken
by Members of Maple Sugar
Association

Commissioner of Agriculture, E
S. Brigham, has completed a census
of the 1918 maple sugar crop taken
through the members of the Vermont
Sugar Makers Association. A post
al card was mailed to each member
of the Association asking for compar-
alive data concerning the 1918-19 pro-
duction of maple sugar and syrup and
the prices received therefor. The
number Of trees tapped increased 1
per cent over the number tapped in
1918. The production, however, was
disappointing. In 1918, the production
per tree was 226 lbs. of sugar; in
1919 it was 1.61 lbs. Prices, how
ever, were higher in 1919 than in
1913. The average price received by
the reporters for 1919 for syrup was
$500 per gal. as against S1.94 in
1918. The price of sugar was 81 cents
per lb. for 1919 as against % cents
for 1918. From the data secured, it
is estimated that 100000 trees were
tapped in Vermont this spring and
that 100000 lbs of sugar, or the
equivalent thereof in syrup was pro-
duced. The prices received by the
reporters were probably higher than
the average for the state, but
making allowance for this and the
price of containers, the maple sugar
crop of 1919 produced revenue of at
least $2,000,000.
Sugar makers are somewhat disap-
pointed in the small crop secured this
year because in view of the fact that
production has not been normal for
the past three seasons lead sugarmak-
ers to believe that on the law of av-
erages they were entitled to a good
sugar season in 1919, andpreparations
were made therefore. However, the
results financially were fairly salts
factory owing to the higher prices.
The agricultural department is now
sending out questionnaries to the
owners reported by the listers as hav-
ing farms for sale. The Town Clerks
of las towns have complied with the
law and reported the names of owners
of farms for sale. The total number
of farms reported is 1920. Question
naires will be mailed to these farm
owners asking for facts about the in
diyidual farms and the summary of
these reports will be published in
booklet to be issued in the summer.
Although the listers simply asked
farm owners when taking the list if
the farm was for sale, some Town
Clerks report that owners refuse to
answer the question for fear that the
selling price of the farm might be
asked and as result the farm be
put in the list at higher valuation.

LABOR PROBLEM
Arthur F. Stone of the U. S. Employ.
ment Agency Gives Stirring Ad-
dress on this Question

At the Sunday evening service at
Grace Methodist church Arthur F.
Stone, director in charge of the
United States Employment Agency
gave an address on "The Biggest
Employment Agency in the World"
In opening his remarks the speaker
quoted st. John where he pictured
the passing away of old things, the
coming of a new Jerusalem and the
changing of all things into a new
era from world conditions at that time
upside down. This he compared to
the present day where world condi-
tions were upside down and new era
was dawning. This country faced
serious problem, the speaker said, in
solving the labor question. The gov
eminent through the employment
agency was doing a great work in
connecting the man with his job but
it needed the corporation of all to
make the work complete. The
churches were Loyalty doing their part
and there was quickening of new
conscience in the call, but there was
much remained to be done.
The speaker told of the results al
ready obtained by the government
through the employment agencies
where over five million men and wom-
en- had been helped to employment.
In the st. Johnsbury district, COM
prising the counties of Caledonia,
Orleans and Essex, in over 600 appli-
cations only one had showed a dis
honest purpose and tried to put it
over on the agency. Mr.. Stone said
he had received applications and fur
nished jobs for applicants from all
over the United States and men from
many foreign countries.
He spoke of many unfortunate
conditions in which the returning SOL
diers were placed and what the
agency was doing to help them to a
job. Nearly all employers of labor
gave the soldier the first place and
one firm in Orleans county made the
agency the offer to give the returning
soldier employment and any time they
could better themselves they were at
liberty to go.
Mr.. Stones address was a strong
appeal for a greater interest in the
neighborly help of the individual and
the quickening of the stronger ties
that bind US together in a common
brotherhood.
st. Johnsbury Employment agency
is fortunate in having Mr.. Stone for
director. He not only looks after
the clerical end efficiently but with
his knowledge of the true conditions
and the needed aid is doing a great
work in placing the question before
the public in his stirring appeals
from the platform.

England for the patriotic service
they have rendered in helping to win
the war.
"Of all the war activities in which
the schools were engaged, none was
more important in educational value
| or productive of finer results than the
Thrift and War Savings Campaign.

der authority of congress, will con-
