spcnshle for the coordination. control
and efficiency of all the organized ac-
tivit'cs for Uncle Sam of all the Cath
clic workers in this land and overseas
from beginning to end of our part in
the world war. And all the time he
was planning to turn his welfare army
into fighting forces for true American
ization and real reconstruction at the
return of peace. Incidentally, it may
be added that he was also administer
ing, just as effectively as ever the af-
fairs Of his large diocese out at Rock
ford, III.
When he reports TO the conference
or the hierarchy of his church, that
has been called this month in Wash
future. of the National Catholic War
Council, Bishop Muldoon will relate a
striking chapter in the history of
American war W.: and outline Il fu-
ture prospect of continuing to aid the
government through the trying times
ahead This is what he has to say
about the work of his organization
1.-THE National Catholic War Council
represents the patriotic effort of Il
great church. We Catholics believe
with all the intensity of our nature
that nowhere in the wide world has
the church such freedom and opportu-
nifty as under the Stars and Stripes,
and consequently we feel that we can
not do too much to express our graft
tude and patriotism. We felt it was
not enough that the sons and daugh-
ters should individually serve and suf-
fer that our flag might be kept on high.
Our church wishes to go further and
to put into the field an organization
ready TO give assistance at all times to
our government"

BOY SCOUTS
himself.
Troop 8

The meetings of Troop 3 are now
being held regularly at the Y M C A
Since the reorganization of the
Troop the average attendance has
been very near the 100 per cent mark
and scouting has taken a great jump
in the Troop. The entire Troop has
joined the Y M C A and for the
present their headquarters are To-
Gated here.
At present the attention of the
Troop is conferred upon the coming
basket bali season, which promises
to be very successful. On Saturday
Dec. 10 the LIST team met and de-
feated team picked from the Acad
envy freshmen by score of 80
to 4. The game was nothing more
than practice affair as far as the
scouts were concerned, for the fresh
men up to this time had had no prac-
tice while the scouts were in perfect
trim. After the first five minutes
of play it could be plainly seen that
the scouts held the upper hand and
it was not until the last few minutes
of the game that the freshmen sue
ceeded in caging basket. The all
around playing Of the entire scout
team was the feature, while Tjllotson
of the freshmen, seemed to be the
star of his team. The lineup:
Ellis, If Dinsmore, re-

On last Saturday, Dec. 20, the
team continued its winning streak by
again defeating the freshmen to a
tune of to 8, and the game was sure
ly one worth watching. The fresh
men on this occasion presented a
much stronger five, who seemed de-
termined to turn the tables of the
week before. But try as they would
the scouts seemed to go them one
better and after the first period when
the scouts got the lead by A to .
score, the two teams were very even
ly matched. The absence of two of
the scouts regular players crippled
them to certain extent, but the all
around playing of N. Pike, Ellis and
J. Pike made up for the loss, while
the work of Miller and Daniels was
very good The entire freshman
team played very good game, and
as a whole the game was as clean a
one as could be expected. The line

VERMONT IN TOP PLACE
Success In Relief in the Near East
Drive Scores Highest Of states

1t has been briefly announced that the
drive for relief in the near east was a
success In Vermont, but this only briefly
tells the story. Vermont has honor place
among all the States In this worthy
cause the state subscribed 1879 Of her
quota. ONO was next with 1000 and
Washington State with 1870.
ADDISON, Caledonia. Orange, Orleans,
Rutland. Windham and Windsor counties
went over the top, while other counties
lacked but little Of reaching their quotas
All but five towns in Orange county con-
tributed their quotas.
The two towns that shine the brightest
are Lyndon. in Caledonia county, and
Shoreham, in Addison county. They
both oversubscribed nearly 1850. Ran
dolph was 1907 and many towns over.
subscribed more than 1000. One hundred
and twelve towns Of the State exceeded
their quotas.
The largest individual contribution in
the State was $1,000. The lowest contri-
button was one cent and there were
several of this amount
Nermonts quota was $4,000 The
actual amount raised Is SIG, S91 and once
again the old Green Mountain State re-
cords its generosity in a worthy cause

the States in this drive.
1t has been strenuous campaign at
headquarters at White River Junction
and for all the workers in the field.
State Chairman Roland f. Stevens has
proven himself a most capable organizer.
His selection of county chairman was
most fortunate. They put their hearts
into the work and refused to be discour-
aged by any obstacle.
Some of the credit at least is due the
newspapers of the State. This was one
of the few war drive campaigns in which
paid advertising was used and 1t also was
one of the few campaigns in which the
newspapers gave so generously of read

BUSINESS IN DAIRYING
Farmers AMiliatinE Themselves With
COyy-Testing Association

Recognizing the principle that success
full dairying is business and should be
carried on as such. eighteen dairymen
of Chttenden county have affiliated
themselves with the cow testing associa-
ton. The territory covered will be from
Bolton to Richmond. Shelburne and Char
lotte. A considerable amount of official
work will be done among the registered
herds, since this record work adds
especially to the value of the animal on
test.
The list of 4O-pound cows, which APP
pears in the Farm Bureau News and the
local press, is an excellent way of placing
the quality of your cows before the
public who often wish to buy just such
animals. There are a good many re-
markably high producing cows In this
section and why not let our friends know
about it? The best COW for February
owned by Il. l.. Howe, produced LASS
pounds of milk and 52.3 pounds of butter
fat. Such records should he a stimulus
to other dairymen in the county.
George Duffany of Mortified has been
engaged as tester and has already started
work near Richmond, Mr.. Duffany is a
practical dairyman and last winter took
advantage of the special short course
given at the College of Agriculture for
COW testers Under his able supervision,
n prosperous year is anticipated.

CAPT. BURGESS d. S. C.
Paper Published BIZ Fifth Division Tells
How IL Was Won

The first edition of the Fifth Division,

March Is, in Luxembourg, Germany, con-
tains the following article about Capt.
Frederick V. Burgess of this city.
picking at random from among the
distinguished service crosses awarded
the officers and men in the Fifth Divi-
sion. the name of Captain Frederick
V. Burgess. Company c, 18th Machine
Gun Battalion, d. s. c., No. 1884. was
selected for mention this week. The cita-
ton which inspired the reward for ex-
traordinary heroism in action near St.
Mihel, France, 18th September, 1918,
reads as follows: After being painfully
wounded by machine gun bullet in a
particularly intense barrage of machine
gun and shell fire, Lieutenant Burgess
remained with his platoon, visiting his
guns and directing their fire throughout
determined counter-attack. refusing to
be evacuated until the attack was over
1.-The incident cited occurred during a
counter attack on the outskirts of the
Bots de Gerard near Neivile-en Haye,
France, Captain Burgess, at that time
was a lieutenant in Co. c, 18th Machine
Gun Battalion. which was located at the
right of the division. They had advanced
the guns in the shell holes on the outer
edge of the woods. The Germans had
retired to the woods across an open
stretch Of ground where they re-organized
and, observing that the flank of the 9Th
was exposed. delivered a typical counter
attack on both the right and the front.
Under cover of an intense barrage the
Germans advanced across the open
ground. In spite of the sharpness OF the
blow they were able to advance only
within 200 yards from which they retired
under cover of night.
During the American advance from
Bots de- Gerard to the first objective the
captain of Company c had been lost.
Captain Burgess is native of Bur-
lngton. VT, and graduate Of Yale
University. He came over to France
with the original Fifth Division, landing
May 3 l91s.'

GOOD SAP WEATHER
Additional Three Quarters of Pound
OF Sugar to Tree Predicted

The warm weather Of the past few days
has meant a good many thousand of dol
lars to the maple sugar makers in YER
mont and in the opinion of those in a
position to know. the warmth and the
maple trees will increase the revenue to
people in Vermont between s75O,000 and
81, 100000. A few days of such weather as
yesterday should mean run of about
three-quarters of a pound to u tree. and
there are 100000 tapped maple trees in
Vermont, as near can be estimated.
There is nothing more tickle than a
maple tree, no matter how sturdy it
looks. for a continuation of the weather
which causes il to make money also
causes 1t to bud out and from that time
on the tree Is good only for the wood
which II has in 1t until the following
spring.
While the price of graduated sugar
makes difference in the price of maple
sugar substitutes, there Is always a mar
ket for the Vermont product and the price
is almost always pretty strong. This
year the only thing which will knock it
down Is the fact that money is not
swinging as freely as it did a few months
ago. and people who would afford the
genuine article then might accept sub
stitute and thus introduce into their sys-
TENS some cane sugar through the maple
sugar channels.

FARMERS SAVE $1,000
Bean Marketing Association DispOses
Of Crop to Good Advantage


Many of the South Hero farmers are
happy over the success of the local CO.
operative bean marketing association
On Monday Of last week the manager of
the association, Morton Hibbard, was
able to close a deal with Bedding q Co..
of Geneseo, n. y. for the 1000 bushel of
beans I'm the ware house. The price
secured was 800 per bushel. +. o. b.,
South Hero, bags furnished by the
buyer, for the yellow eyes and n little
less for the pea beans, whereas the price
that the dealer was authorized to pay
was but $3.50 per bushel. which sum he
was able to secure beans from the in
dependent holders.
This represents total actual saving or
gain to the farmers of South Hero of $1,000
but In truth the saving was actually
more than that In the past years the
dealers on buying the hand picked beans
have usually shrunk them from ! to
pounds or more a bushel in proportion to
the poor beans they contained. This
year, through the association. every lot
was accepted for the full weight with the
exceptions of two lots which were so
poor that they hardly looked as though
they had been hand peeled at all.
The association has been able to secure
IL fnuCn cheaper IRE insurance uatc on
the beans in the store house than could
be secured on the individual farms. The
store house has made 1t possible for the
farmers to get their beans off their hands
as soon as they were ready to market
and not be compelled to have them in
the way around the farm buildings.
The directors of the association,
through the Chittenden County Trust
company, advanced to needy members of
the association 5000 when the beans
were delivered to the ware house. This
money advanced has been a great help
to some of the farmers this winter
The total cost of the association, in
handling, storing and marketing the
beans including the managers wages
and all other labor. fire insurance and all
other expenses. has been less than five
cents per bushel.
Much credit, however, for the splendid
success of the association. must be given
to Mr.. Hubbard, manager of the as
ISOLATION because Of the thorough bust
ness-like manner in which everything
was done: much credit is also due the
directors. for the interest and spirit of
cooperation which they have shown in
trying to make the association a success.
There is a movement on foot at present
since the successful closing of the bean
association, to form n countrywide wool
growers association. the principal OBJ
ject being to market their wool
operatively. 1t is thought that the store
house at South Hero could be "A collect
ing point for the entire county.
