SHORT MAPLE SUGAR
SEASON PREDICTED
Deep Snow in Woods and Warm Weather
Coming On Make Unfavorable Com
bination-High Prices.

Any individual residing between Cal
ais, Me-, and Cape Mendicino, Calf,
who has 1920 Vermont maple syrup on
morning pancakes will be enjoying a
luxury
Vermont maple sugar in recent years
has been increasingly expensive for the
reason that the output from the 7000,-
900 trees tapped annually has not been
sufficient to meet the demand
This year the gallon can of sweet, for
which the maker once received from 50
cents to 81, is going to cost the ultimate
consumer all of three bucks. and pos
sibly more, depending upon the season
and the quantity made.
The best quality of sugar marketed
in small cakes is expected to retail in
the vicinity of 81 a pound. 1t sold for
so cents a year ago. Vermont sugar
makers have marketed tons of it at
121a cents and less.
Predictions of So syrup and ST sugar
are not based entirely upon the ten
dency toward higher prices for all pro-
duets of land and factory, but largely
upon existing conditions in northern
New England. There is now more snow
in the woods than during any fourth
week in March in a number of years.
Many of the Vermont highways are al
most impossible and as yet it has been
impossible to enter the "sugar bush ,
for the preliminary work that must be
done before the trees can be tapped.
There have been years in which the
larger and better portion of the crop
has been harvested before April /. In
the orchards lying upon southern slopes
of the foothills all the sugar is usu-
ally made during the month of March
and cases are on record in which or
chards have been tapped during the
last week in February.
With actual winter conditions MAX
ing it impossible to break out the roads
and scatter the buckets, the prospects
for long and productive season are
disappearing. Sap will not run until
| the weather is just right. Warm days
are needed but the flow soon ceases if
| the temperature remains above freez-
| ing by night for any length of time
Once the buds begin to swell the sea
son ends
| Long sugar seasons are created by a
combination of sunny days and freez-
| ing nights, with an occasional storm
| Every passing day now lessons the
chances for a big sugar season. Yester-
day and today brought ideal conditions
and sap ran in large quantities from
| the few trees that have been tapped, il
some instances running practically il
a stream.
Farmers are predicting that there viii
be only one run; that the weather viii
come on warm, continue warm, and
with the expanding of the buds, tbs
season will soon end

LARGE BUDGETS FOR
BENEVOLENT WORK
Congregationalists of State Asked to
Give ~ as Much as Now-Confer-
ences Being Held.

The beginnings of the Congregational
| Forward Movement date back to the
national council at Grand Rapids in
1919. At the meeting it was definitely
decided to attempt to meet the acute
| religious needs of the hour by setting
| a minimum financial goal of $50,000,-
600 to be reached in a fve-year pro-
gram. as an integral part of the Inter
church World Movement of North
| America
This program was later ratified by
| the Vermont beard of directors and
subsequently by the ministers and lay
men of the state after hours of full
and free discussion, at which time the
plan was approved by rising vote,
every person voting in the affirmative.
| Thus the forward movement for Yer
mont was unanimously approved by the
men who are now carrying it on.
Herewith is presented the financial
goal by counties for the state of Yer
mont The figures have been subjected
to the furnace heat of investigation
and they are believed to be as near
| perfection as figures can be made. 1t
| is apparent that to reach the goal Of
100000 this year for the state of Yer
mont from Congregationalists alone will
require an unprecedented increase in the
present standard of giving for bencvo-
lences But when it is considered that
there are 100 communities in the state
of Vermont which are entirely depend
ent upon the Congregationalists for re-
| ligious services, and that when this
money is raised $780, 900 of the total
will be used in the Green Mountain
state to save the dying interests and
build up new work in unchurched quar-,
tiers, it is believed that fact will stinIu-
late every lover of home interests to
do his utmost in that direction
The county conferences now being
held will carry the budget for benevo-
lences to each individual church, SO
that in few days every Congregation
al church in Vermont will have its
quota set before it and a committee
appointed to secure the amount. The
| Windham County association confer
ence will be held in the Centre church
here this week Wednesday.
| The accompanying table shows in the
first column of figures the regular ap
portionment for each association, in
the second column the proposed quota
which includes the regular amount, and
in the third column the ratio which
the proposed quota bears to the regular
apportionment. For instance, the Wind
ham county association is asked tC
give 81 times as much as it is now
giving. Following are the figures:

The World Is Growing Better.

Oh, the world is growing better,
Growing better every day;
Growing wiser, growing kinder,
Growing nobler every way;
Olden wrongs release their hold
Oldep hate and strife grow old,
For the sun is rising higher,
And the shadows cannot stay.
Oh, the world is growing better,
We can see it, you and /,
In the lives of men and nations,
All about us, if we try;
We are better, though we err,
Than our stored forbears were,
And the children who come after
VIII surpass us, by and by,
Oh, the world is growing better;
Where the thistle and the thorn
Stung the foot of him that presst it,
Now and here the rose is born;
Ancient ignorance and doubt,
In the light have faded out
And the smile of hope replaces
The embittered scowl of scorn.
Yes, the world is growing better,
Where our fathers might not reap,
We are gathering the harvest,
And the fruits are ours to keep;
Lo. the cruel past is gone,
For the laden hours creep on,
And the Clock of Progress marks them
If we wake, or if we sleep.
Yes, the world is growing better,
For God never planned in vain.
Sons of ours shall reap hereafter,
/ Where today we strew the grain;
Heaven send us then the power,
Needful for our passing hour,
| And blessing on our labors, :.
| If we perish OF remain
] All, the world is growing better,
/ Growing better every day.
Growing broader,-growing brighter
! Growing better every way.
And the stars that roll along,
Make glad triumphant song,
And the souls of men look upward,
i And grow iubilant as they.

Further facts concerning the interesting
subject of the old post road from Boston
to Albany by way of Brattleboro are
contained in a paper read before Brattle-
borD chapter, Daughters of the American
Revolution, Dec. 2, 1919, by Mrs. Grace
Bailey Dunklee chapter historian. This
paper is published in full herewith as the
fourth in the series of historical pen
sketches furnished by the chapter:
just as we were preparing our papers
upon Old Trails Roads, these lines by
Daniel l.. Cady, upon Old Vermont
Roads, were published in The Reformer
AS they were so very timely, and ex-
ceedingly appropriate to my subject,
wish to repeat them now in my sketch
upon The Old Post Road from Boston
to Albany
The old time roads, they used to run
Right over all the hills and rises,
And made the shortest kind of cut
To get to Benning Wentworth Is
prizes;
They wasn't tipped with tepid tar,
They might have made a shofer
cavil
But they was all the kind of roads
Our settler fathers had to travel
They run them roads from town to town
About the way they shot rifle;
A river didn't change their course,
A mountain made 'em bend trife
Oh! yes; they jest was "water bound -;
No grease or graft or even gravel
But still they averaged bout as good
As what we modern "dusties
travel
| The fathers didn t walk abroad
Arrayed in pumps and Paris slippers
/ They took no hikes along the pixies,
They never posed as Sunday
trippcrs,
They ddn t wash their socks with Lux
Or rcnse 'em out in eau de javel
I And where they went they had to go
That's why the fathers used to
travel.
It's bout the same with us today;
You don't back out your painting
hivver
To take a pleasure ride-not much
And get an embolismie liver;
You know jest how a shell-hole looks
You we seen all sorts of "surface'
ravel,
You know that when you near a bridg
You'll see it billed, Unsafe TO
Travel -
And when highway hit a grant
In them old days, it didn t schisn
But plowed right through to Cente
Town,
Like highbrows chasing up an ism
And there they built hard she'll churc
But didn't fool with soft-she
gravel
The road the circuit rider used
Was good enough for all to trave
THE teams from Albany got through,
The stages seldom missed in sun

The sacred cod was right on hand
But not as yet the Boston drum

lie didn't come until he heard

Philadelphia, Pa.-August Pasauale

prisonment by Judge Swartz in Nor

In pronouncing sentence the Judge
expressed regret that he could not send
Pasquale to the electric chair
1T is useless for me to say any
thing in this case" said the. Judge.
The cruelties, the deceit, the wicked
ness and the hard -heartedness on your
part show that your conscience is so
scared that anything that ] may add

den of your sentence.
i do not wish to say anything that

With eyes moistened by tears. Mr..

Il am satisfied with the courts sem

After all this is over" he said, II
will tell you all about it, and you can
set the baby back"
BY ''all this Pasquale referred to
