CHANGE IN'BUsINEss FIRM

Last Friday Peter p. Nissen who
has been in partnership with John
Petersen in conducting a vulcaniz-
ing shop on Lower Broadway dis
posed of his interests to John
WEIGH, who took possession imme-
diately. The firm name will now
be Petersen & WEIGH. The vulcan
izing plant has been doing a big bust
mess and since MIR. Nissen's health
has been poorly the past few
months, he desired to retire from
the business. After a. complete
rest he will no doubt regain his
health and may enter some other
line of business next spring. We
wish the new firm all kinds of sue
cess.

This will be the clamoring well
come that will take its place in the
history of Audubon county and the
most inspiring patriotic demonstra-
ton ever seen in this part of the
state.
But it will be slam-bang affatr.
full of pep and zip and ginger, bub-
bling over with good cheer and
thanksgiving. All Audubon coun-
ty and a big chunk of surrounding
territory will cheer the flag of free
dom and the men who defended that
flag.

The business section or Audubon

casion. The committee has arrang-
ed to give each soldier and sailor q
coupon book valued at $2.50, for he
is to be our guest today. Instead
of spending his own money all he
has to do is to tear out coupon
and present it for payment. The
coupons will be redeemed by the
committee in charge of the celebra-
ton.

put off since early last spring In or

REPUBLICAN DELIVERED
By AUTO LAST WEEK

On account of the Northwestern
train failing to make its regular
run last Thursday afternoon the
Republican was delivered by auto to
the Ross and Gray postoffices. The
patrons of the paper appreciated
our efforts in getting the paper to
them on time for they had not had
"a daily paper for several days. A
number of our subscribers called us
by phone Friday and told US the
Republican looked better to them
last week than it had for long
time. One subscriber was so well
pleased that he came to the office
Saturday and paid two years sub
scription in advance.

WELCOME HOME

From far strange streams and an alien shore,
From the bayonet's thrust and the lannon's roar,
To bright home river, fields dear and known.
With JOY and tears We welcome own
We welcome you home.
From high adventure with ancient wrong,
From years in day, and year age long
To the glad home hand, and the loved home fact,
To the dear Everyday and the sweet Common
place
We welcome you home.
From tossing seas and from dreary camp,
From toil-flled days, and watch knights damp
To build life new you have come, and to make
A better world for the new life's sake -
t0N We welcome you home
To country that never in vain has sought
The strong hand of her sons, the stout heart the

To campaigns that never know armistce-
Our knights of the future, our soldiers of peace
We welcome you home.

MAKE MAPLE SUGAR
Vermont Boys and Girls Made Large
Quantities of Maple Sugar
Last Year

When sugar was scarce last yeai
hundreds of boy and girl club mem
bers began raising sugar beets ant
keeping bees to help supplement til.
cane-sugar supply. In Vermont. th'
boys and girls, who belonged to th'
clubs organized by the Department
of Agriculture and the State Agricul
tural College decided to do their bi
by increasing the production of mapl,
syrup.
Last year the leaders of the boys
and girls clubs undertook to hav,
syrup making one of the chief pro
jccts Of the clubs in the state. Ons
club in Lyndon was given the use O.
1000 tree orchard and this was rur
as a demonstration camp. Twenty
boys were employed to break roads
gather sap, chop wood, stoke fires
and boil, strain, and deliver the
syrup. The best methods wert
taught in this camp and absolute
cleanliness was insisted upon. The
output was judged to be among the
best made in the state, and the boys
took much interest in doing the work
so the standard would be maintained
A festival concluded the work of tn.
season, with 1000 people attending
The proceeds were used to carry on
the work of the club for prizes, ex-
penses of exhibits, etc. The work will
be continued this year.
One little girl in Caledonia county
gives the following report of her
maple sugar work: "I love outdoor
work and thought / would like to
make maple syrup, so hired my
grandfather and horse to help me tap
the sugar trees. I paid him 20 cents
an hour. l was able to borrow 81
wooden buckets which l needed for
the work. 1 took them home, tight
ened the hoops, and washed them
thoroughly before using.
81 tapped the trees 2 OF 3 feet from
the ground and bored the holes l IL
inches through. Into these we drove
the spouts on which we hung the
buckets.
"While waiting for the sap to run
we built an arch and sap gatherer.
took the sap to the sugar house and
strained it through a flannel cloth
and boiled it to ZIG degrees. This
syrup was then strained through sew
eral thicknesses of flannel into milk
can to take home. 1t was allowed to
settle over night and was boiled the
next day for syrup at 219 degrees and
for sugar at .232 degrees. To make
maple cream, I cooled the syrup to
90 degrees, and stirred it until
creamy. l made and sold $66 worth
of sugar. My expenses were $35.
With the $31 profit bought Liber-
ty bond on installments. The rest
of the money for the bond I raised by
selling the products from my club
garden in the summer"
Nine thousand nine hundred and
twenty-eight pounds of sugar and
1881 gallons of syrup, with a value
of s5,328.25, were made in Vermont
by the boy and girl club members
during 1918.

profession, or trade, for the rude,
rough and relentless business of war.
He gave up his comforts of home,
his comfortable bed for Il bunk in a
cold barracks, his delicious meals for
the "Gas-Mule" of the X. P.'s-did
his whole duty, without murmer.
While he was thus enduring and suf-
fering the "Patriotic" Profiteer pour
ed out his increasing profits purchas-
ed Liberty Bonds, w. S. S. etc. Now
that the armistice is declared and
peace is in sight, the profiteer feels
that his whole "duty" is done.
This, however, is huge delusion.
1t is true that capital made great sac
,ifices during the war. 1t is equally
true the Capital has made unpreced-
ented profits in the same period,
which altogether offset the great risks
taken. Under these circumstances
capital is undertaking dangerous
move when it considers it expedient
to use the "profits" of war in order
to better enjoy the promised "treas-
ure" of peace and thus let the poor
fellow who has made the greater sac
rifce face unemployment and starva-
ton on his return to civil life!
Now a word to the mothers and
wives of Vermont who have loved
ones in any one of Uncle Sans var
ious hospitals. Do not worry. There
never was civilian hospital more
compact, efficient and sanitary than
the military hopitals of Uncle Sam.
Some soldiers complain. They should
not. Their treatment is of the best,
l know, for I have received this
treatment for the last two days here
in Camp Meade. Some weeks ago it
was my pleasure to translate an ar
ticle from a French paper praising
the efficiency of Uncle Sans hospital
units; the methodical handling of
cases, the clean, health healing of
their surgery-and proudest note. of
all-the extreme youth of the ply
sicians and surgeons! 1t is not gray
hairs that make surgeon it is in
tellect and brains. In the middle ages
the great physicians and surgeons,
Mondino, Morgagin and their sue
cessors were famous before their 30th
year. 1t almost surprises one to see
the number of young physicians un-
der 80 in the hospital service of the
U. S. A. And Vermont has worthy
representative of her intellect and her
youth in Lieut.. Tierney of st. Johns
bury, in charge of ward 18, Camp
Meade Base hospital.
I understand the "Caledonian" has
entered new period Of existence
and | wish it every success.

FIRE IN TROY, VT.
S. Phenix House on F. R. Davis
Farm Destroyed Wednesday
Afternoon

S. Phenix House on F. r. Davis
Farm Destroyed Wednesday
Afternoon
About 8 o'clock Wednesday evening
fire broke out in the shed chamber OF
the S. PheniX house on the f. II.
Davis house in Troy, VT, about one
mile out of Troy village on the Bur-
lington road, destroying the main
building and also large quantity
of household effects. The neighbors
| and farmhands from nearby in Troy
village arrived and rendered what as
sistance was possible under the cir
cumstances, but the blaze had gained
such a vicious headway that it was
impossible to save the main structure
and attention was given to getting
out what was available of the house
hold effects.
Mrs. Phenix was i'll in bed at the
time and was removed to the home
of neighbors nearby. The blaze was
caused by chimney burning out in
the afternoon but which had been
closely watched since it began. A
kitchen stove pipe running through
an upper shed bedchamber is believ-
ed to have begun the mischief.
During the course of the fire,
Lionel Phenix, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
S. Phenix was badly injured by the
explosion of a hand chemical fire ex-
tinguisher being used to check the
flames.
The loss was heavy and will hardly
be covered by the insurance.
