G. NJ. C. SUGAR PARTY
Will Be Held at He'll Hollow Camp
Friday Evening.

Sections of the Green Mountain
Club throughout the state are making
a special effort this yea. to recognize
in a formal way the maple sugar sea
son and as j. p. Taylor expresses it
'whoop it up for the glorious noun
tain-borne Maple tree that means so
much to Vermont" TO Benning on
section this idea is not new as far as
tn sugar party is considered but the
recognition of the season and the
maple tree as a state institution we
may have overlooked and now the To-
cal mountain climbers will try and
celebrate in the true spirit OF Yer
monters.
1t was suggested that trip be
made direct to some sugar bush but
the short season and condition Of
roads have made this impractical, so
the next best stunt is q trip to the
Hell Hollow home of the club
which will take place Friday evening
OF. this week. New syrup has been
secured and will be served as wax on
snow with coffee and all who par.
take are expected to bring such other
eatables to make out supper as
they may desire.
The party will leave the Y NJ. G. A.

suggested that all wear hiking togs
as the road beyond tho Plunkett

which may prevent autos from reach.

half-mile walk.
Advise as soon as you can if you
plan to go either w. T. White or J. L.
Griswold. The party is not restrict
ed to members and all'friends of the
club are invited and will be welcom-
ed. The capacity OF the camp even
with the alterations that have been
made are of course limited and the

ply in making reservations

Vote OF the Men.

Chicago, April 13.--Goyernor Frank
O. Lowden carried his home state to-
day on face of unofficial returns in
the Republican Presidential prefer
ence primary, with Major General
Leonard Wood second and Senator
Hiram Johnson third, the latter's
name being written in BY the voters.
Returns from 1886 precincts out
of $500 in the state gave Lowden 203,
$50; Wood 136,42S. and Johnson 81
.02S.
General Wood carried Chicago and
Cook county, but Governor Low
den's vote in the state outside of
Chicago gave him a lead which pro-
gressed steadily with the counting
of returns.
Only the names Of Wood and Low
den appeared on the ballot. Sena or
Johnsons strength was in Chicago.
where most of his votes appeared.
Herbert Hoovers name appeared on
some of the Republican ballots.
There were no Democratic primary
candidates for President but the
names of more than half dozen
Democrats were written in the bal
lots in scattering returns.
Governor Lowden and General
Wood were the only candidates who
made any speaking Jmpaigns in Hi
nois.
Women cast courtesy vote in
many counties, and in some places
the election clerks failed to separate
men and women ballots The
women's vote, however, was so COM
paratively light as not to effect the
result, and it was divided in much
the same ratio as the male vote.

"The man who is too busy to
clean his spark plugs is shortening
his battery life" This is the opinion
of Mr.. E. c. Hall, the local Willard

Even though the engine is using

spark plugs is putting unnecessary

"The motorist who unscrews and

or two will find that he has taken
big load off the battery and that
he is able to get his engine turning
over in noticeably shorter time"
