CAMPAIGN IS ON FOR
MORE MEM Be RS
Vermont Congregationalists
Hope to Add At Least 5000
Names to Their Rolls During
Next Two Years-Last Day of
Conference

The conference of Congregational cler-
gymen, which has been in session during
the last two days at the Van Ness Hopse.
was brought to close yesterday after
noon. The conference was the first of
a series to be held In the United States
In an effort by the Congregationahsts
to increase their membership. At the
conference plans were made for the cam
paign in Vermont.
The methods to be adopted will depend
mainly on the association leaders in the
State. There are 216 Congregational
churches In Vermont and there are IA
leaders of the different association. The
first action to be taken by the associa-
ton leaders will be to meet with a gen.
eral committee, which they will appoint,
and hold a retreat. The program to be
! used at the retreat will be similar to
that used at the conference, although
there will not be the same speakers In
time, each church will be visited and the
association leader will carry with him a
definite program. He will then confer
| with the church officers, and in all prob
ability a quota will be fixed for the in
crease in church membership in each
congregation.
The methods used in making the in
crease in membership will be canvassing
and through the pulpit. The first thing
| to be done will be a systematic effort to
| increase the church attendance. In con-
| junction with this, there will be the crea-
| ton of a pastors class for young people
in number of churches. The age of
those entering this class will be between
10 and 20 years. The different church or
| ganizations will be utilized to the utmost.
While the population of Vermont has
, remained practically stationary during
the last few years. the membership in
the Congregational churches of the State
has steadily increased. There are at
present in Vermont 1920 members of
| Congregational Churches. 1t is the aim
Of those who engaged in the work
| to make at least 5000 additions in the
| next two years. There has been a net
| increase of about that number in the
last As years. The loss in membership
| through death and other causes is about
100 per year
[ Vermont will be the first State to
undertake the movement to increase it's
membership and the results of the cam
| paign here will be told to the national
| leaders at a meeting to be held the latter
part of the month in Chicago.
| The end to be striven for over the
country is an increase in membership of
100000. Vermont already has manifested
great interest in the drive.

Results of Last Educational Butter
Tests At College Of Agriculture

Tests At College Of Agriculture
The 18th and last educational butter
scoring for 1918 was held at the Univer-
sity college of Agriculture December 16.
Twenty-Five samples were entered and
most OF them were good for this time of
the year. The high score. 94ia. was re-
ceived by T.. c. Hills of North Mont
pelier. AS usual the creameries which
pasteurize or use starter or both aver
aged we'll above those which do not prac-
tice this. The difference this month was
more than one point. with the grade of
cream received at State creameries pas
teurzation and starter are essential If
the best quality of butter is expected.
few samples gave evidence of being
made from very poor cream. Producers
should wake up to the fact that they must
deliver good cream If good butter is to
be made. and that one or two lots of bad
cream may reduce the selling price of
all the butter made at the creamery.
Arrangements have been made to con-
tinue the scorings another year. An an
nouncement Of the plans for next year
will be issued soon. The next scoring
will be held February l.

The annual meeting of the Burlington
Equal suffrage League was held in the
parlors of the New Sherwood Hotel Sat-
urday afternoon with a good attendance,
The reports of the various committees
were given, the secretary telling some
thing of the war work which was done

addition to their work as individuals.
Ward meetings were conducted in the

winter at which members worked for
the Red Cross and talked on questions
of interest to suffragists. Ten dollars
a month for 10 months was given to the
Red Cross and on Thursdays as many
of the league as could possibly go, worked
at the Red Cross rooms. The league also
helped the women of Burlington to vote,
answering their questions before election
day and helping them to get to the polls
whenever help was needed and requested.
The Burlington branch also entertained
the State Suffrage League at its annual
meeting the last year.
