"SUGARING"

Get your bits, and spouts, land buckets,
Sap is singing in the trees;
Spring is coming from the Southland,
Though old Winter stays to tease.
Soon the fires will be a-blazing,
And we'll catch the longed-for smell
Of the boiling maple syrup,
That Vermonters love so well.
Get your paddles, and your saucers,
Soon the sugar will be done;
Then we'll wax it, and We'll stir it,
And small cakes of sweetness run.
Dye far-away Vermonters,
Who still love this virgin sod,
Can you hear them softly calling,
These green hills, where once you
trod?
Then come back, and frd your child
hood.
Meet your comrades face to face;
And get sweetened for the future,
In the old home sugar place.

The Clothing Drive

The American Red Cross drive this
Spring will not be for money, but for
clothing to meet the urgent needs of
millions of destitute people in the
countries that have borne the burden
of the world struggle for liberty.
Money, if possessed in plenty, would
not buy the garments to put on the
backs of these distressed people, be-
cause the war has left the store
houses empty, and the material to
make into articles to wear cannot be
had except as it is supplied from afar
by those who have it to spare.
The bounty of governments and
the sympathy of those who have for
tunately escaped the worst of wars
horrors must feed and clothe a large
percentage of the civilized human
race until such time as the suffering
nations are restored to approximate
normal conditions, and their peoples
enabled to resume their vocations and
pursuits in the general scheme of life.
At no such sacrifice as has marked
other drives in connection with the
war-at no sacrifice at all, in fact
America now has another splendid
opportunity to show the world the
practical value Of it's heart sym
pathy.
Everyone should make the sue
cess of this drive of the week of
March 24-31 a matter of his own
personal interest.
Agrand cleaning out of closets and
clothes chests, getting rid of gar
ments that have served their original
purpose-things that you never will
want again for personal use-will re-

to suffering humanity any country
ever was called upon to make.

BRINGS SUIT FOR $3O7,OO0
Sues Grand Trunk Railroad For Hus-
bands Death.

Mrs. Henrietta Prouty of Newport,
widow of Ex-Gov. George H. Prouty,
has sued the Grand Trunk Railway
Company of Canada for 100000 for
the death of her husband, according
to papers served on Secretary of

United States Marshal Arthur P. Car
penter. The suit is returnable at the
May term of the United States Court,

injured in the accident, sues the
company for 100000 and Mrs. Prou-
ty sues also for $1,000 for the auto
mobile which was demolished. Gov.
Prouty was killed when his auto was
hit by Grand Trunk train while
driving over the grade crossing at
Ascot, Que, on August 10 last. The
property of the company at Island
Pond has been attached for all three
suits. Negligence on the part of the
company, is claimed, because it is al
legged the electric crossing signal was
out of order.

Who Will Buy The Victory
Liam.

To whom are we going to sell the
Fifth Loan? Are we going to the
same people who subscribed to the
previous loans?
Yes, we are.
, Will they subscribe to this loan?
Yes, unquestionably.
But how about those people who,
being conscientiously opposed to war,
would not subscribe to war loans?
They will be as conscientiously op-
posed to peace loans.
Go after the same old subscribers,
then?
Yes, they are the dependables?
Is there, then, no patriotic appeal?
Certainly; but this kind of person
is probably as patriotic as any of the
rest of us. Such a person is apt to
be as proud Of Uncle Sans good
name as of his own.
Is there anything can do now, be-
fore the next loan starts?
Yes, tell everybody you see that
you will give them tip on one of the

B. H S. LOSES FIRST GAME
OF THE SEASON

Brighton High School played at
Lisbon, N. H., last Friday and lost
their first game this season in an ex-
ira period game, 24-22, before
crowd of 500 basket ball fans.
This does not mean that our boys
did not play their usual high class
game, or that they were not treated
well; because everyone of the crowd
claimed it was the best game of bas-
ket ball that had been played in Lis
bon this year; and our boys could not
have been given any better support
at home than was given them there,
each play bringing cheer from the
crowd and when the score at the end
of the first period was announced 49,
22 in favor Of Brighton, they were
cheered to an echo. The tying score
came in the last half minute to play,
on chance shot from the far corner
of the floor, the chance making good,
and the winning basket came in the
first minute of play in the extra per-
iod.
The game Lisbon put up was not
as good an exhibition as they played
here, and it was freely acknowledged
by spectators, players, reffree and the
high school professor that our boys
played the better game; the deciding
factor in the final outcome was a new
Interpretation of the "three in" rule
their reffree ruling that it was not a
foul when two of their men guarded
one of our boys; our boys not being
used to playing that way found their
team work OF little USE The last ten
minutes of playing became a defens-
i've game each side playing for
chance, with "three in" there was lit
tie show of making a goal except on
a chance shot and when the break
came it broke the other way.
If Brighton had to lose to any
team Lisbon was worthy of the honor,
being a clean, hard playing team,
each man on the team a good sport;
our boys showed the mettle they are
made of when the team as a whole
returned to the hall to the entertain
ment provided for them and were
given a royal good time, everyone was
unstinted in their praise of the good
work our boys did. We are in hopes
our boys will get another chance at
Lisbon on a neutral floor where the
"three in" rule will count as it should
if they do, has anyone any doue. he
the game will come out-we @@T2o'..
Let's give three cheers for Bri htcn
High School, the best in the land.
