In one sense Providence seems to
have played an important part in the
economic problems of the past year.
October 1 approached without frost
to injure vegetation. This gave album
dant fruitage in nearly every crop. a
splendid harvest season and there
fore bountiful supply of provisions
to those who were thrifty enough to
plan wisely. Last winter was an open
winter and full year of wonderfully
favorable conditions so far as nature
is concerned, has marked the past
four seasons.

A VERMONT PASTURE

A VERMONT PASTURE
(Danie, L. Cady, in Burlington Daily
News)
You have to work your tillage land
And NOW and hoe and ploW 1t. i
But as for pasture, all you do
And YOU can walk jest where you
please,
Instead of round the edges.
And Sunday you can go and set
Upon the pasture Lodges
I've seen a lot of right good folk.
Whose names amt repeating.
Go through the bars on Sunday morn
Instead of off to meetlnR:
And when a preacher hits too nara
With his dogmatic sleaees- :,
You might be saved It you snou"
spend
"A Sunday on the ledress
You cross the brook on stepping stones
You've hauled from out the moving
You own the stones and own the brook
Although it keeps agoing:
Then, past the logged-off piece you
climb,
That's fenced with blackberry
noOgeS,
And then you site the butnut tree.
And up beyond, the hedges.
At last you're there-you see your
house
And barn, and both your medders.
And way off north the other farm
You rent to Elmer Cheddars:
You feel as fine as temperance tots
c1U Cly
The world, By Col! is quite a place
Your wife and boys are both along
And whilst you've been a-lookiny
They've fixed it so you'll all go snacks
On mothers put-up cooking;
BY George! that ROBBERY pie is gccd.
Them great, big, bleeding wedges
You don't feel wicked, none Of you,
For being on the lodges.
You stand up straight and give a
stretch,
And then 90 round by mother =
And quote from Waldo or from Walt
Some outdoor truth or other:
You're jest as full of nature thoughts
AS England is of hedges,
Thoreau, he loved the woods Of Maine
But Bagley loves his lodges.
Ny! such a peaceful, family day,
Ii, makes you Congos Quakers:
You can't have no such day as that
On top of ti.age acres;
1t beats day on Woodstock Green
Or 'mongst the Highgate sedges;
There amt no day that's like a day
Upon your pasture lodges.

recently for which the, sum of 85

was charged, and the house was

why anyone in that audience should
find any fault with high taxes, or the

We recently printed a statement
showing how one of the leading fnan-
cial institutions in ST. Albans was
seeking to promote the welfare Of the
maple sugar producers Of that region
by financing operations as well as
standardizing the quality Of maple
products as a means Of insuring con-
tinued demand therefore. We are
glad to publish this morning a letter
from Mrs. G. M. Wood, who approach
es the problem from another angle,
and one which we believe will COM
mand wide attention.
Our esteemed correspondent en-
phasizes the need of thorough appre-
citation of the value of organized eff
forts in the procuring of markets for
maple products as, well as in other
directions. He shows how the Cali
fornia raisin growers won success by
organized effort. In a peronal letter
to the editor accompanying his letter
for publication Mr.. Wood says he is
now enjoying the hospitality and
scenery of Vermont" and "can read
lily see how the maple sugar crop in
this state can be made far more re-
munerative to those who produce it. y
The Vermont producers of maple
products are IN position to well
come any plan that promises to i'm
prove the market for maple sugar
and maple syrup. During the World
war their product commanded dizzily
high prices, but during the past sea-
son it was almost impossible to give
it away owing to the extent to which
people were cutting out the use OF
luxuries.
With the return of general pros
perity the demand for this toothsome
product is certain to revive, but it is
not characteristic of Vermont thrift
to wait for things to happen. The hus-
tier is always anxious to step on the
accelerator and get more speed. This
| is true of Vermont maple sugar grow
ers. We hope Mr.. Woods appeal
may elicit others.

A Cord of Wood is 43 Cubic Feet.

Deputy Commissioner of Weights
and Measures Hiram Davis says a
running cord Of wood must contain
43 cubic feet to be legal measure. In
case of doubt, pile up the wood; if it
makes eight feet long and four feet
high and measures Is inches wide it
meets the requirements. Otherwise,
you are not getting what you pay for.

This is national fire prevention week
as well as national educational week.
Both subjects are important ones and
need the attention of the public to
amount to anything. These special
weeks and days have come into vogue
because of the apathy of the people
to perfectly obvious duties and is a
reflection on the public. Don't fail
this week to visit the school which
your child attends and don't fail to
take some extra measure of precau-
ton about fire risk. Last year fires
in the United States did more than
$500, 100000 of damage and cost 49,
600 lives. A terrible toll of careless
ness as most fires are known to be
.preventable. Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace is making special effort to
have every precaution taken on the
farms of the nation because here fire.
fighting is difficult and generally use
less. In rural communities in Or

heavy. Recall the fires at Charleston,
Newport Center, Coventry and South
Albany. Defective chimneys is great
cause of fire loss, careless smokers is
another great cause and lightning is
a third great cause. Lightning is the
only cause classed as not preventable
and the government says that of the
almost $4,OOO,OOo loss by lightning
last year not one dollar of this loss
was on BUILDINGS with properly install
led lightning rods. To quote exact
ly the government bulletin says:
"Out of all the losses by lightning,
not one was on building protected
by lightning rods. 1t is now definite
ly known that lightning rods afford
protection. If installed intelligently
! they reduce the risk from lightning
almost to the vanishing point"

a sweeping investigation of the local

reported to have 'leaked out" has

This was divulged by Prohibition En-

liquor from the seizure rooms in the
Federal Building, Ninth and Chestnut
streets, that have occurred recently,
The dry" chief said the "fur will
fly when their report Is made known,
The Washington authorities sent four
agents here, incognito, to make the
probe and according to Slonaker they
worked under his direction. The local
office of the Department of Justice was
not consulted.
Two of the agents worked all day
and the other two oil night. Reports
were made to Slonaker at his home.
The final report, however, was taken to
Washington. The probe ended ten days
ago. 1t was closely followed BY the
report of Wig liquor theft from the

anything further about these Biz

the Kind 1t should be.
There Is something rotten going on
in The Federal Building aud the sooner
we bring 1t to light the better for ali
concerned. The chips will fly no mat
ter whom they hurt. The public have
right to know the facts and l will see
they get them as soon as I do.
Putting the internal revenue locks
on the doors to the seizure room is like
locking the barn door after the horse
has flown. But these precautions don't
hurt and may save further loss"

seizure room, was brought into the case
