Stella Donovan began speaking now
Celeste La Rue, the blonde of the
Revue, has got some kind of hold on
John Cavendlsh. 1t isn't love, either
it's something stronger. He jumps
when she holds the hoop"

too" Willis cut in. "While she vas

"Exactly-Enright," he concluded,

Well" the city editor tapped his
desk "yOu two have done pretty we'll
so far. You've got considerable dope.
Now, what do you make of it?"
1T may be a dream" Willis said,
smiling, "but here is the way l stack
1t up. The night after he quarreled
with John, Frederick Cavendish called
in Enright and made a will, presum-
ably cutting John off with practically
nothing.
Immediately after Frederick's de-
parture, Enright calls Cartons cafe
and talks to John Cavendish. who had
been dining there with Celeste La Rue.
1t Is reasonable to suppose that he
told him of the will. Less than five
hours afterward Frederick Cavendish
is found dead In his apartments.

Again II Is reasonable to suppose that
he was croaked by John Cavendish,
who wanted to destroy the will so that
he could claim the estate.
"The dead mar is buried, and John
starts spending money like water.
One month later he receives a letter
asking him to call at Enright's Office.
what happened there is probably
this: Young Cavendish was informed
of the existence of the will, and II was
offered to him at a price which ne
couldn't refuse TO pay-just then.
Perhaps he was frightened into
signing a promise to pay as soon as
he came into the estate-tricked by
Enright. John Cavendish may be in
nocent, or he may be guilty, but one
thing is certain-he's being badgered
to death by two people. from what
little we know. One of them Is the
La Rue woman the other is Enright."
Farriss sat rejecting deeply, chew
ing the stem of his dead pipe.
There's n thing that conflicts
with your hypothesis. valois' state

the dead man was not Cavendish."

Congressman Dale
Burlington Free Press)

Congressman Porter N. Dale, in his
opening remarks, showed the conven-
ton the breadth of his views as well
as the eloquence of his method of pre-
sentation. He indicated that while
America like other countries, is in a
chaotic condition to a greater or less
extent, the situation in the United
States does not grow out of the war,
but is the result of the uncertainty
into which an autocratic party leader
has plunged the whole country. He
believed that the whole country could
not reasonably expect to return to
normal conditions of progress and
prosperity until the determination of
the people to secure the restoration
OF Republican rule finds expression in
the control of both the presidency
and of Congress by our party.
He strengthened himself material
~ with the delegates by his brilliant
advocacy of Americanism as well as
by his excellent handling of the con-
ventlon and the expediting of its pro-
ceedings.

BARRE Times)

Close observers of Vermont poll
tics who attended the Republican
state convention in Montpelier ex-
pressed the conviction that were the
election to be held today Curtis S.
Emery of Newport would be elected
governor of Vermont by fairly sized
margin. That being the case through
admission of men who are personally
supporting Emery, it ought to be even
more true when the real test comes,
for Emery is gaining ground all the
time with the rank and file of the peo-
pie of Vermont. There is nothing
spectacular about Emery; he's just an
everyday Vermonter but man of
drawing ability, to say nothing of
capacity for filling position well.
AS the people of the state study him
in comparison with the other three
Republican candidates they are be-
coming certain that Emery is the man
who best measures up to the sort of
man they want in the governor s
ehair-a man of the people.

Mamie Sugar Production Grows.

Commissioner of Agriculture +. .:
Brigham has completed census Oh
the 1920 maple sugar crop taken from
tbe members of the Vermont Maple
SUGAR Makers association. A posta.
card was mailed to each member OF
tha association, asking for compara-
tive data concerning the 19l9-20 pro-
duction of maple sugar and syrup
and the prices received therefor. Inc
returns showed that the number Oh
trees tapped by the correspondents IN
creased four per cent over 1913. Inc
production per tree averaged 1:I9
bounds this year, as compared Win
i 10 pounds in 1919. Prices also are
a little higher for this year. Inc aV-
erape price reported for syrup was
ed with s2.23 for 1919. The prices OF
snoar averaged 35 cents this year as
COMPARED with 81 cents in 1919.
Prices received by the reporters Tor
suoar ranged from a minimum OF zZ
cents to maximum of rs cents per
pound. Prices received for syrup
RANGED from sta per gallon to- "a
ner gallon, which illustrates, when
taking quality into consideration,
great variation in efficiency IN mar
keting the maple sugar crop.
Upon the basis of the last returns
made by the listers as to the tota
number of trees tapped it is estimated
that 5,824,00 trees were tapped III
1920, and that the total production OF
maple products in terms of sugar was
ID, 1O4, 900 pounds.
Taking into consideration the fac1
that the reports received were IRON
the most efficient sugar makers OF the
state and making corresponding re
duction for average prices, the maple
sugar industry of Vermont earned
well towards $4,OO0,000 this season
A large number of correspondents re
port that sugar still remains unsold
although in the case of persons re
porting, the amount of sugar ant
syrup remaining in their hands doe
not exceed 10 per cent of the tota
production.

AS a matter of fact governor poll
tics overshadowed most other mooted
questions. The concensus of opinion
seemed to be that as the situation
stands today, Emery would win the
gubernatorial nomination if the prim-
aries were to be held now; that Hart
ness, who has postponed his state or
ganization until after the state con-
vention is winning strength faster
than any other candidate, and that
Windsor county is likely to win the
governorship in the end, with its two
candidates, Hardness and Agan, and
its consequent two chances. In the
end it is believed that the governor
ship will lie between Orleans and
Windsor counties.
