PRICES OFFERED BY
CARY THOUGHT LOW
Marketing Committee of Farm Bureau
Discusses Offers of st. Johnsbury
Man fOrf Maple Products.

The marketing committee of the
W Nlndham Farm Bureau was decidedly
interested in an article which appeared
N a recent issue OF The Reformer rela-
tive TO the prices offered for maple syrup
by the Cary Maple Sugar Co. of St.
Johnsbury, of which George O. Cary is
president
\ paragraph of the article read as
follows: For the 1922 crop Mr. Cary
is paying more than IS cents a gallon
today for the lower grade, above 81 a
gallon for the No. ,, and Sl25 for the No.
grade. Translated into prices for sugar
this Is equivalent to II l-2 cents pound
for the lower grade. l3 II cents for the
81 grade and l6 IL cents for the fancy
Sl.25 grade The demand for sugar Is
brisk and Mr. Cary has not established
the prices except as above stated. -
lhe marketing committee is wonder
ing if Mr.. Cary would be willing to tap
dent thereto and expect TO receive
profit on the basis OF the prices men
toned.
They also declare that the prices paid
| BY MIR. Cary in the past for maple pro-
| ducts was responsible primarily for the
state organization of sugar makers and
| that his custom is solely responsible for
the activity of the Wilmington producers

The article emanate from st. Johns

maple products in an organized way, the
committee says. In Wilmington. where
there Is organization Mr.. Cary is offer

1t is the old, old story, says the com
| mittee. but he is too late this time.
| The farmers have their association and
whother they get more or less they are
going to have satisfaction of trying it
out themselves.

HAVE YoU A DOUBLE CHM
Fight Them, for They Are Disfgurins
and TelI-Tale OF Old Age,

You never see an actress or famous
society beauty, no matter what her age,
with a double chin. And vet there is no
physiological difference between actresses
and other women The point is that
they intelligently and Systematically de-
fend themselves against this disfigura-
tion. The two most important methods
of fighting double chins are: First, the
correct carriage of the head. and second,
chinstraps.
Acquire the practice of holding your
head high and your chin out. 1t will
give YOU a more attractive appearance,
and it will, if you persist. assure YOU,
even in middle life and close UP to old
age. beautiful throat line
There are chin-straps made for this !:
but if YOU do it yourself, fathers old
linen hankie will do the work. Tie it
up around your head as if YOU had the

good astringent on it, and after covering
your face and neck with good skin food

made them targets for the wrathful goat
which instantly charged. Yobel went
down and then Cowen Bat the efforts
of the loyal animal went for nothing for

SELECTMEN BUY
LOTS FOR GRAVEL
Three from Harvey Estate
and One from William
Fisher
MAKES PROVISION
FOR DOZEN YEARS
Purchase Includes Harvey Bungalow.
Which Will Be Sold to Be Moved -
When Gravel Is Removed Land Will
BE Available for Building Lots.

In order TO insure an abundance of
gravel for highway work in the years
Just ahead, the Brattleboro selectmen have
bought parcel of gravel land adjoining
the one bought a year ago last fall be-
tween South Main street and Clark ave
nue. 1t embraces seven lots, six of which
were bought of the estate of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. H. Harvey and one of William
Fisher.
The town paid $500 for the Harvey
lots and 81, 300 for the Fisher lot, making
a total of $6,SO0. The gravel contained
in these lots, together with what is left
of the land previously bought, viii meet
the needs of the town 10 years or more,
it is estimated by the selectmen and road
commissioner.
In the purchase is included the Harvey
bungalow, which is rented and which the
town will sell, to be moved. Offers for it
already have been received. Mr.. Fisher
had put in the foundation for a house
on his lot, but the house win not be built.
The investment is believed to be a good
one, as the deposit previously bought has
nearly paid for itself in the saving
effected, while the new lots are near the
stone crushing plant and when the gravel
has been removed the lots win be salable
for building purposes.

STUART FINISHES

Paints Street Scene for TewBShend
Town Hall Street Picture with
Blocks-OVer 900 Windows.

A business that is but little known to
very large proportion of the inhabit
ants of Brattleboro Is that conducted by
William r. Stuart. Mr.. stuart is an
artist of no mean ability who has been
doing portrait work for many years.
A few wears ago he also began, in
small wav. the painting of stage scenery,
drop curtains and the like. He has Just
completed a street seeHe ON canvas
2I by l3 feet which has been installed on
the stage at Townshend. in the substan-
tial town hall building recently given to
the town by the late Mrs. Kate c. Dut
ton in memory of her husband and son
This street scene differs from most
scenes of the kind in that it IS full of
life. Automobile trucks. street ears.
automobiles and pedestrians are every
where in evidence. and the natural pose
and setting of it all is very effective.
Over ~ blocks of different colors, heights
and sizes can be seen with more than
LOCO windows Taken all in all. the
effect is exceedingly pleasing and
natural. Mr. Stuart recently completed
a country scene for the same stage
which has been highly. satisfactory.

HELPING THE BRIGHT. CHILD.
Need Special Glasses That They May Not
Be Kept Back

1--WE have systems for the average
child, special teachers for the backward
child and classes for the defectives-but
God help the bright child !" In the May
Designer, DIR. Woods Hutchinson, the fa-
nous specialist, says: so widespread
and grave is the situation that progress
sive. intelligent teachers in all parts of
the union are beginning to form in gram
mar and high schools special classes in
various subjects for bright children into
which are drafted or promoted in rapid
succession all children who show special
aptitude or interest. almost regardless of
their age. The rate at which the young
sters progress when they are set at liberty
in this way is as delightful as it is aston
ishing.
''The most encouraging thing about the
experiment has been the really large num-
ber of children who are found. when care
fully studied and given the opportunity
to develop to have special aptitude for
some one subject. What is even better,
the work and progress of these children in
all other subjects improves when once
| they have been allowed TO try their pow
ers and gain confidence in themselves in
their favOrite field. In some cases il has
resulted in whole classes of children OF
considerably varying ages sweeping
| through not only that particular subject
| but the whole curriculum at nearly double
| the rate which they would have made
under the old system of holding back to q
/ uniform level at all points.
