The recent arrival in the United
States of two cargoes of Danish butter
may have a tendency to unsettle the
market in this country; but people in
Vermont will prefer TO have the Yer
mont product notwithstanding some of
the defects which the butter experts
have found in some OF the samples sent
to the state experiment station in Bur
lington for analysis. The age of the
Danish butter is one reason why the
newly made product Of Vermont will be
sought. Lack of information about
conditions under which Danish butter
is made viii be another reason why the

theatre-goers Of its city for lack of
courtesy to the stage folks who are do

handicapped by the eagerness of the
audience to get out Of the theatre be-

Says The News: "Let us watch this
lapse of social courtesy, and show that

observe theatre courtesy as religiously

the other hand, there is the courtesy to

emily has led Major General Wood into
a disagreeable situation, which the gen.

advised, or more careful in divulging
matters of rather vital concern to the
man whom he is trying to steer toward
the presidency. Wood certainly deserves
something better than that.

more sugar imported into the United
States during the first ten months OF
the year than during the corresponding
period of 1918. The excess runs above
"a per cent and is ,62S, ,l73 pounds
Refners admit making larger domestic
deliveries in 1919 than they did dur
ing 1918, but say they cannot tell "how
much Of the amount delivered went
into the hands of spectators and
hoarders."
Two things are certain. The first
| is that had President Wilson taken, as
he was urged to take, steps to secure
| available supplies of raw sugars in
Cuba, he could have done so and could
have prevented any appreciable rise in
price to the consumer, IN spite Of hoard
ers and spectators, for he had the ma
chinery with which TO control them.
The second certain fact Is that, as
soon as it became reasonably sure
that the retail price of sugar would
be raised above eleven cents pound,
vast supplies came to the surface.
Where was this sugar. 1t had been
said for weeks before the dawn of the
new year, by busy statesmen, that they
could deliver sugar in plenty, If the
retailer would pay the price" and the
price was fixed high.
Once it became apparent that there
was to be no bar interposed to pre-.
vent the sugar profiteers realizing on
their anticipations, the statesmen made
good on their promises. Out from its
hiding places came the sugar by the
ton and Boston witnessed the unique
situation Of some stores. selling sugar
at ii cents pound and Others selling
at other prices, as high as % cents a
pound-on the same day. If the man
selling at II cents got fair profit,
what may be said of the dealer who
exacted % centsf
The feature of the play is that signs

ments in the papers indicating that
there was sugar TO sell in large guam
titles. Further. the leading retiners
say--now that high prices are forced
upon the publc-that they have de-
clined large orders for export A few
weeks ago there We're large exports
because exporting was more profitable
than selling to the domestic trade.
Now there seems Co be no crying need
for export business, The price is so
high that all concerned seem TO feel
that they art getting theirs
When the real story of how the
sugar famine and the subsequent rise
in price were engineered, as it will be
told some day, revelations are likely
that should jar an administration I'M
der which such methods are fostered,
encouraged or even made possible
