VERMONT CHEEsEMAKING

(By Daniel L. Cady)
When white grass makes the pasture
white,
And butter needs a carrot tonic:
When ragweed seed invades your head
And bursts with noises disharmonic;
When cows shrink up about a third,
And neighbor children gin to tease
For curd and parings-then It's time
To think about a-making cheese.
And first you put your setting tub
A-soak to see how fast it's leaking,
When, Pop! the bottom hoop blows up
And sets your sputterphone to speak,
ing:
A-next you get the runnet jar.
And scour and scald it all you please
Oh! yes; there's quite lot to do
To get in shape for making cheese.
And then you drag the cheesepress out
And wash it up in thirteen waters.
And prop the platform where it stands
Before the dumb contrivance totters;
Then Johnny crawls way underneath
Upon his anxious hands and knees.
To find the stone that weights the pole
That turns the press that shapes the
cheese.
The basket, followers. paddles. hoops.
A-feel the scrub brush next in order,
And some folks run a cheesecloth hem
To hold the rawlings round the border
You then rescreen the cheesepress door
And make the button turn with ease
Oh! it's a knack to get the hang
OF fixing up for making cheese.
You hunt the special table next
40 Jot1 t,,r,
Twill be a change from Swimming milk
And always and forever churning;
And last you pick bunch Of sage,
A-down there near the cherry trees,
And find your little pointed knife
And then you're fixed for making
cheese.
Then when the cheeses come along.
My. amt it fun to pat and oil EN-;
Most any other hands than yours
Would have a tendency to spoil EN-:
Each cheese asserting on it's board
| They beat the Neuchatels and Bries-
There's nothing more to do but hope
Your man is 'mazing fond of cheese.

full love and respect of Vermont gradu-
versitys grand old man. In filling the
vacancy caused by the resignation OF
the dean the trustees are to be COM
mcnded in their choice of Mr.. Bailey 1t
adds that acting President Bailey, is held
in great respect has native
knowledge of Vermont and Vermonters,
and concludes as follows: "If the acting
were to be dropped from his title the
university could well be doubly congratu-
lated, for under his administration re-
turn of the institution to its proper place
in public estimation might be confidently
predicted"
The Rutland Herald speaks of the
situation as follows: "The expected has
happened in the election of Guy w.
Bailey as acting president of the Uni
versity of Vermont. This is an admirable
selection and brings to the first educa-
tional center of the state a man OK
mature years, an alumnus of the
university trained in public affairs, con-
versant with Vermont conditions, and
now entirely familiar with the needs of
the institution and its many intricate
problems A real Vermonter with plenty
of Vermont common sense is what U. V.
M has needed for years. 1t looks as
though the necessity has been met
As a matter of fact all of the news
papers of the State look with favor on
the election of Mr.. Bailey as acting
president Of the University and these
quotations are a fair illustration of the
good things they say of him and his SER
vice in his new field of activity.

THE HISTADRUTH IVRITH.


Among the recent activities of the
Histadruth Ivrith are to be noted the
following:
On Sunday, November End, very
important meeting was held in the
Great Synagogue or Atlantic City
which was attended by an unusually
large number of the Jewish communi-
ty. DR.. j. Roshovsky presided and Mr..
Roubon Brainin, chairman, and Mr..
Abe Goldberg, executive secretary Of
the Histaduruth Ivrith, spoke on the
Importance of Hebraic culture for the
preparation Of the Jewish people and
urged the audience 10 take larger
interest in the Hebrew language and
its literature, as well as in Jewish edu-
cation. AS a result of this, many of
the audience have expressed intention
to cooperate with the Histadruth in
its work and at once began move
ment to enlarge and extend the ac-
tivities of the local Hebrew school.
1t is expected that the activities of the
Atlantic City Jews in behalf Of He
brew will prove a great success
A similar meeting was also held in
Hartford, Conn.,, under the auspices
of the local Sons and Daughters Of
Herzl Society. Mr.. Tabatsky presid-
ed and Mr. Daniel Persky, a represent
tative Of the executive committee Of
the Histadruth lvrith, explained to the
audience the purposes and aims of
the Histadruth and proposed a defn-
lite program for immediate activities
in behalf Of the Hebrew language and
its literature. Immediately after the
meeting Hebrew speaking society,
"Sfath Zion," was organized and its
executive committee consisting Of sew
en- members, at once undertook to en-
deavor to carry out the program pro-
posed by Mr.. Persky.
The recent decision Of the executive
committee Of the Histadruth TO de-
clare the week Of Chanuah consecrat-
ed to Hebrew work, is being Dispatch
ed to all Hebrew clubs in this country.
Information has already arrived to the
headquarters Of the Histadruth that
in many cities throughout the country
the Chanukah week will be utilized for
propaganda work on the Importance
Of Hebrew and its culture.
Within the near future, a number
Of pamphlets, in Yiddish, explaining
various phases Of the activities Of the
Histadruth will appear. These pamph-
lets will be circulated throughout the
country as propaganda material.
During the month OF October, Mr..
Reuben Brainin, chairman of the His
tadurth, visited several Jewish COM
munities in Canada. While in Mon
treal he called a number OF represent
tative Hebraists of the city together
in conference, at which he discussed
with them a number Of problems con-
fronting the Hebrew activities in
America. As result Of this confer
ence a committee was formed to take
