PRODUCERS AND RETAIL PRICES
an MAPLE SUGAR.

Information from New York that
maple sugar products in that state are
being retailed in some sections for 500
per cent more than the producers re-
ceived for the products is calculated
to awaken Vermont maple sugar pro-
ducers, although it is not at all prob
able that such discrepancy exists
between the Vermont producing price
and the retail pricA as is reported from
New York. The situation is not quite
so bad in the maple sugar industry as
IL i in the Christmas tree business, in
the latter Of which the small trees are
sold for a few cents in the field and
disposed OF in the city markets for
prices doubled, quadrupled and often
|, times even more thar that. New York
maple sugar producers are going to|
band together in cooperative market
ing of their product as a measure OF
self defense If any considerable mum
Der, or proportion, can be induced to
enter into the proposal and then to
stick to their principles when once
member they will be- likely to increase
their income greatly The next thing
will be for the purchasing public to
defend itself from any increase in re-
tail prices which may be made on the
ground that the producers are getting
more for their procuct and, therefore,
the retailers must advance their prices.
Bearing in mind that there have been
instances in which the retailers of the
New York product have been known
to charge 800 per cent advance over
the producing price, as officials de-
clare, the public will have q ready ar
gumcnt by asserting that that 500 per
cent could be sliced In part and still
give the retailer good thing.

On protest made by some people in
the fair city Of Boston, flag similar
to that which was flown by General
George Washington over his headquar-
tiers in Cambridge, Mass, at the be-
ginning of the American Revolution
and which was the first recognized
American flag, was taken down from
its position Of prominence in front OF
the headquarters Of the Loyal Coali-
ton and was replaced by the Stars
and Stripes. No doubt the protest was
due to unfamiliarity with the appear
ance of the George Washington flag,
which has red and white bars similar
to the presen. national emblem but
which has, instead of the stars on a
blue background, red cross. No doubt
the flag might have looked like the
British Union Jack because OF this red
cross, as it probably did to the protes-
tants. However, flag that was tit

The town authorities at Brooklinc,
Mass, refused further use OF the town
hall to certain organization when
they found, ono morning, seventy-two
cigarette butts lying about on the floor
Of the hall. Reason enough, to be sure.
Such Grass carelessness as to throw
cigarette butts, presumably lighted,
onto the floor, there to become fire
menace, indicates such a lack OF re-
sponsibility as to warrant the owners
or agents OF the owners in barring
such people from the property The
wonder is that there was any town
hall left so that the town authorities
could collect the evidence of careless
ness.

1t is rather significant that the APP
peals for aid to relieve suffering in
Russia always deal with something
that is going to happen and tell moth
ing Of facts that have happened. For
instance, we have been told for months,
even years, that the people OF such
and such section were going TO starye
il aid was not Forthcoming within a
week or two weeks; the humanitarian
people Of the world have been torn
with anguish at the thought Of the
suffering to be; yet the week or two
weeks pass, even longer, and we hear
no word that there has been any actu-
al starving to death by any consider
able proportion Of the population Of
the districts named. 1t is to be pre-
sumed, therefore, that the people who
have not been reached by American
relief expeditions were enabled to get
by on shortened rations of their own
rustling up, just as thousands of per-
sons in the United States will do dur
ing the winter at hand. The American
people believe in relieving suffering
but the most Of them want to know
the facts before rendering aid; they
are rather wearied with these constant
reports of thousands Of Russians who
are going to starve to death within a
certain time limit, only to learn that
somehow the report was distorted and
the thousands lived although in pinched
circumstances. Probably the situation

PROHIBITION AMERICA WILL

Sir James Hope Simpson, chair
man of Liverpool and Martins Bank,
speaking at the Halifax. Chamber of
Commerc banquet, said that eff we
could get s45O,OOO,OOO distributed in
the country and used in domestic
trade, it would have the needed finan-
cial revival. That sum might be found
in the s45O,OOO,oOO spent annually

sonally from 200 leading American
business men what the effect of pro-
hibition was, and every one told him
it was the greatest step America had
ever taken, and she would never go
back upon it. 1t was tremendous
economic gain that was being expe-
rienced in America.

PRESIDENT PERSONALLY al
DRESSES CONGRESS.

Following 3 custom inaugurated by
George Washington, abandoned by
Thomas Jefferson and renewed by
Woodrow Wilson, President Harding
delivered his first message to Con-
gress in person.
The two houses assembled in joint
session in the House Chamber to hear
the Executive outline his views with
regard to the many domestic and for
eign problems pressing for solution.
Seldom in the memory of the oldest
habitue of the Capital has there been
such a rush to obtain admission tick
cts. Men and women from every walk
in life were there. In the executive
and diplomatic galleries and the
Speakers row in the members gal
|lery were many representatives of
foreign nations, and men and women
in high official life.
The principal recommendations in
the Presidents message follow:
No separate peace with Germany.
No helpful society of nations can
be founded until peace is established.
Covenant of existing League of
Nations can not be accepted.
/ Readiustment of internal taxes.
Instant tariff enactment for the
emergency only.
Railroad rates and costs of opera
ton must be reduced.
Strengthening of laws governing
Federal aid for good roads.
Establishment and maintenance of
a great merchant marine.
Encouragement for civil annd mil
itary development of aviation.
Immediate extension of govern
ment hospital facilities for former
service men.
Congress to wipe the stain of bar
baric lynching from the banners of
a free and orderly representative de-
mocracy.
While the United States is in SYM
pathy with movements for peace, it
must not discard agencies to defend
until there is removed the need to-
defend.
Enactment of national budget
system.
Less government in business
more business in government.
Suitable inquiry by Congress with
out haste in accusation of profteer-
ing might speed price readjustment.
Legislation for public protection
of maternity and infancy.

or another by George Harvey, the
violence or mildness of his express
sions being trolled by the exigencies
of the moment and his temperamental
condition. There was never such an
unsuited and untitled individual in
all the history of this country by
training, temperament and 'inviron-
ment to take up the important duties
as our representative at the Court OF
st. James's."
There was excitement in the gal
leries. But for occasional humor
there might have been heart failure
Senator Reeds ridicule of Mr.. Will
son, the league of nations, Herbert
Hoover, and even the partizanship OF
the average Democrat, was highly
pleasing to Republicans on the floor,
and in the galleries. He produced
laughter when he said: eff you should
put the Saviour of mankind and the
12 apostles in a sanctum, and run
up the Republican banner, the sena-
tor from Mississippi would probably
denounce them"
Becoming Stale Subject.
But Reed did not "get away" with
all the laughter, Senator Heflin of
Alabama paid humorous respects to
the senator from Missouri. He said
"The senator seems to have a griev-
ance against the league of nations.
We rarely ever see him on the floor
that he doesn't mount that old nag
and ride him around and around in
this chamber. Whenever l see him
throw his spurs into the flank of that
helpless old horse, l know just about
what is going to happen. This habit
is getting a trife STALE"
The Alabama senator referred to
the, promise of Senator Lodge at the
Republican convention that he would
destroy the last vestige of wisconsin.
He proved that the Republicans had
not destroyed the Democratic policy
regarding Colombia, Yap, mainte-
nance of the troops on the Rhine,
Mesopotamia and the non-resump-
tion of relations with Russia. But, ac-
cording to the senator, they have
wrought destruction. Said he:
"You have destroyed the greatest
hope for peace on earth and good
will to men. You have failed to ac-
cept the greatest peace program ever
offered the civilized world and helped
to cripple and break down the great
est peace advocate since Christ walk
ed the dusty highways of Judea. Mr..
President, Woodrow Wilson may be
lame and halt-God bless him-but
he will live in the hearts of the
American people and live on the
brightest pages of American history
long after his slanderers and traduc-
ers are dead and forgotten
"We are the only nation on earth
whose highest judicial authority has
declared it to be Christian nation
and it is the duty of this nation un-
der God to lead on and on in the in
terest of pease on earth, good will to
men."
Following an outburst of sponta,
neous applause in the gallery, the
gavel of Vice President Coolidge fell
with a resounding bang.
eff there are further demonstra-
tions in the galleries, he exclaimed,
"the galleries will be cleared.

If Old Columbus Had Not
Pushed Ahead.

Suppose Old Christopher Columbus
Had been a stand patter;
Or known nothing of eggs
Except their use in batter,
Wouldn't we have been
In a terrible fix,
If he hadn't known
A few little tricks?
We'd probably not have
Existed at all,
If he hadn't possessed
A little exploration gall.
But Chris had an idea,
Though extreme for his day;
It took lot of nerve
But he was built that way.
And with some other fellows
He started westbound,
To prove his theory
That the world was round.
Think of the chance he took,
AS in the boat he sat,
For everyone believed IA
That the world was fiat.
That somewhere beyond ~
The horizon was an edge,
But Chris took chance
Risked falling over the iledge.
He went out daring, he
Knew not what danger
Might be lying in wait,
For his frail sea ranger.
It required real nerve
To sail in to the unknown, =
Where no living man
Had heretofore gone.
And so it is today,
In every line of endeavor,
There are pioneers with vision
Of better things ever.
Trying new fields to explore
To discover something new,
That might make things better
For me and you.
There are men working today
Using time, money and talent,
And every way they can
Render a sacrifice valiant.
We should leave no stone unturned
That would encourage chap,
Whether he be beimproving locomotive
Or simple mouse trap.

Debs expressed the opinion that
President Harding. at heart, was
against all war but described the
president as the representative of a
system which made war possible.
The Arms conference, he contended,
was significient only in that it was a
recognition of the cost of warfare
and an effort to reduce expenses in
stead of eliminating the cause. Ac-
