MONTPELIER. May 21-A capri
cious spring and high cost of production
kept the maple sugar crop in Vermont
below normal this year. This is the sum
mary of reports to larger dealers irrc
from sugar farmers throughout he y.ase.
There Will be no shortage of the tangy
sweet. however, they say. as there was a
considerable surplus from 1920.
Although the forest census shows that
there are 10,OO0,00O sugar maple trees in
Vermont not more than $500. 900 of them
have ever been developed This year
about 1000, 600 were tapped. The sugar
and syrup yield, it is estimated, viii be
less than 1000 tons
Weather conditions were important
factors in the decrease. as the unusually
warm periods of early spring were not
tempered by the frosty nights that arc
needed to contract and expand the san
flow SO that it will run freely
Farmers declare they we're obliged to
pay wages equal to the scale of a wear

harvesting showed no decrease in price.

plan called for the appointment of judges
through the league of nations, indeed the
court has been created as a part of the
league machinery and Elihu Root has
said this seemed to him a wise idea.
Everybody today was asking whether
Ambassador Harvey intended to make
his reputation of the league so sweep
ing as to include the court of interna-
tional law which Mr. Root helped frame.
1t is a fact that Mr.. Harvey did not hes
ftate to express his disapprova of the
Root plan because it was tied up to the
league of nations but not until today has
the Harding administration directly or
indirectly been in the position of repudi-
ating the Root plan. Did Ambassador
Harvey speak his own views, or those of
Ambassador Harvey. especially those in
the irreconcilable group. believe he has
only paraphrased President Harding's
campaign speech. While il may be in
discreet for a diplomatic representative
of the United States to take issue with
the speeches made by a proceeding preSi-
dnt of the United States, in which Amer
ica's war aims were proclaimed as I'M
selfish and based on humanitarian rea-
sons. nevertheless il is true that Mr..
Harding as a senator took the position
that the war against Germany was not
50 far AZ the United States was CON
cerned a war for humanity" hut n war
been violated on the high seas. This was
his view ON the night he voted for
declaration of war with Germany. and
his view in the last campaign Ambassa-
dor Harvey will not get into hot water
for that The embarrassment arises
from the fact that rckndles here the fires
of partiSanShip. He was specifically in
structcd by Mr.. Harding as a parting
word that craftsmanship ended at the
coast line but Ambassador Harvey feels
that he is well fitted for the task of
spokesman for the Harding adminiStra-
ton. He lived at Marion many weeks
last summer. and wrote many parts Of
the Harding campaign speeches. The
chances are that he might have gone too
far in expressing America foreign pol
icy. but he win not be. rcbuked for it.
The man who Will be unhappy about it
will be Charles Evans Hughes. who has
been trying to be especially cautious and
discreet as he slowly evolved the main
principles of the American foreign pol
icy. While Ambassador Harvey win not
be reDrimanded. it is n safe bet that he
doesn't make another such speech in
many months

We Can Prove
Every Statement
That We Make

This method Of treating Piles, from
the INSIDE instead Of the OUTSIDE is
not new idea or something that has not
been given a thorough test. In another
place on this page we quote from a letter
received from a patient who took our
treatment Is years ago and has never
had the slightest return of his trouble.
The one BIG recommendation of this
method of treatment is the PERMA-
NENCY of the benefits derived.
Another case speaks Of having been
healed after six torturing years Of bleed
ing piles, and this was accomplished by
our trial package alone.
Surely if you are ever troubled with
piles, you will send the coupon from this
page and receive the trial treatment.

THE ONCE OVER
 4 By H. I. PHILLIPS \ A

Another poster that made me warm up to the marine service showed alotta fellers hopping oyer- board from dinghy and rushing over the sandbars of some tropical island rifles in hand, and with an expression oE their faces that showed that what ever they was chasin' was pretty swell. I always had the idea they was after one of those dusky prin- cesses the South Sea island writers like Captain Traprock tells about.
 
 Anyhow I remember the wonderful blue skim of the sky and sea and the beautiful tropical foliage in the lower lefthand corner got me as much as anything. Now look at me; sitting in a dirty old mail truck smelling to the high heavens of gasoline and rumbling through the drab streets ot a congested city!
 "The nearest I can come to adven- ture is to have to shoot some beetle browed nut who is crazy enough to hold up a government mail wagon and who'd probably squeal like pig if he as much as cut himself while shaving.
 The marine doesn't like his job does he, papa2
 You said something, son.
 And I understand there is grave concern throughout the army and naval forces.
 How come, papa.
 You see, my son, the West Pointers are afraid they may be detailed to sell 2-cent stamps at the postoffices, and the Annapolis men are alarmed lest they be put to work asserting the Christmas mail.

 You see, 1t is like this: It Is the off season in the marine business now, anyhow, and so Postmaster General Will Hays has put them to work guarding United States mail trucks.
 
 The slogan of the Marine corps used to be First to Fight" but now that the members have been put in mail wagons with the souvenir post cards it will be changed probably to First to Read'
 Do the marines like playing nurse to the registered mail, papa?
 No, indeedy. I was talking with one this morning, my son, and this is what he said:
 "Ain't this grand? I read all the circulars in front of the recruiting off flee urging young men to enlist in the most picturesque branch of the .serv- ice, the service of romance and ex- citement and adventure; the service that would take you into strange countries full of color and beauty. remember one advertisement that had picture of a marine riding a wild tiger. I've been in the service six months and ain't seen a tiger yet. ] ain't saying I'm anxious to ride a tiger, but, by golly. I fail to see the connection between a tiger and a mail truck. If Uncle Sam wanted us to ride mail wagons, why didn't he paint one on the poster instead of the tiger?
