The semi monthly meeting of the
Morrisville Woman's Club was held
on March 7 in Academy hall, with
Vice President Miss, Maude Chaffee
presiding in the absence of Mrs.
Powers.
Among routine business transacted
was the choosing of the nominating
committee for the ensuing year, as
follows: Mrs. George Morse, chair
man; Mrs. A. R. Campbell and Mrs.
Walter Sargent. 1t was voted to give
$25 for the scholarship fund.
A financial report of the seasons
lecture course was submitted by Miss
Alma Bugbee, secretary, which
showed:
Proceeds of ticket sale. -. $485.25
Expenditures 487.93
Deficit 268
1t was voted that the club treasury
meet the deficiency.
Following the business of the meet
ing Miss Chaffee introduced Walter
H. Crockett, director of publications
of the University of Vermont, who
gave an interesting address on "Ver-
mont's Resources and Opportunities" +"
/, Mr.. Crockett at first presented the
disturbing facts brought out by the
returns of the last census of Ver-
mont Since the census of 1910 until
the census of 1920, the reports have
successively showed "a steady increase
in the population of the state. I'm
usual conditions prevailed at the time
of the 1920 census which accounted
in a measure for the decrease of one
percent in the population during the
last ten years.
The returns showed gains in 63
towns of the state, three-fourths of
this gain being made in the seven
largest cities and villages. All the
rural towns showed a. decreasing
population.
Mr.. Crockett advised as remedy
for these conditions a "Make the
Most of Vermont Campaign" the
three avenues through which to work
being: First, agricultural; second,
industrial; and, third, recreational.
He pointed out the facts that, gen.
orally speaking, conditions are better
than formerly, owing to the advan-
tages provided by the automobile,
rural delivery, telephone and i'm
proved roads. That the farmer is
not the kind Of man pictured in the
paper, the Rube, but rather a bust
ness man, and but for the sane,
well-balanced farmers of
this country, we, as a nation, would
today be in the plight of some of the,
European countries.
The farmer is now on top of the
heap and will get what he wants
from Congress if anyone does.
Agriculturally, Vermont stands
high in the states of the union for

Monthly Meeting Of Woman's Club

the amount of acreage under culti-
vation. The last census showed that
off the 40 percent of our land which
is improved, $85,000,000 worth of
produce was obtained (27 percent of
our area is too mountainous to be
cultivated). During the last two
years more bushels of corn per acre
were raised in Vermont than in any
other state in the union.
In nearly all staple crops Vermont
is near the top of the list per acre.
The dairy industry of Vermont for
1919 showed a business of $27, 1885, 900.
Yet we have not done as well as we
might. We might make more of the
maple sugar industry. At present
the Farm Bureau is working to get
uniformity in producing and market
ing of the states maple sugar crop.
Organized apple growing is an in
dustry which is not sufficiently en-
gagged in, as the flavor and keeping
quality of Vermont apples are unex-
celled in the union.
Apple land is cheap, $50 to 500
an acre in the best sections, and even
$40 in other places. These lands are
within 500 miles of cities like New
York and Boston, and growers could
ship one-fifth cheaper to these mar
kets than western growers are able
to.
Three kinds of apple orchards worth
considering are: First, farm orchard;
second, small orchard business, side
line; third, commercial orchard.
In speaking of the industrial situa-
tion Mr. Crockett said that Vermont
leads the world in the production of
tale, marble and granite. 1t has
been estimated that block of
granite 100 feet by 100. feet by 100
feet is worth 81 900, ,000yand there are
yet many millions of granite unquar-
ried. The state ranks second in the
production of slate. Scales, lathes,
screens, waxed paper, Estey organs
lead in manufacture in Vermont.
Vermont is also a great wood
working state and means of conserv-
ing the water power for industrial
purposes should be considered.
In speaking of the ~recreational
side, Mr. Crockett brought to the at
tention of his audience our most
favorable location being at the cross
roads between the White Mountains
and the Adirondacks and Canada and
southern New England. Vermont is
able to boast of 500 mountain peaks
over 1000 feet high and 400 lakes
named.
By means of the summer camps for
boys and girls 5000 young people
learned to know and love Vermont
last summer.
In.s-closing his entertaining dis
course Mr.. Crockett suggested more
team work on the part of Vermont
ers. Do away with individualism and
the small spirit which seems to exist
among the people and take counsel
together and really try to make the
most of Vermont. Leadership if the
right kind is ian essential need in
Vermont communities. Teach in the
homes, schools, clubs and Oranges
that Vermont is the land of oppor-
tunity.

SENIOR PLAY

The senior class of Peoples Acad-
emy will present the four-act play,
"Miss Somebody Else,n Thursday and
Friday evenings, March % and "a, at
the town hall.
This delightful comedy has grip
ping dramatic moments, unusual
character types, a striking and orig
inal plot and is essentially modern in
theme and treatment. The story
concerns the story of Constance
Darcy, "a multi-millionaire's young
daughter. Constance embarks on a
trip to find a young man who had
been in her fathers employ and had
stolen a large sum of money. She
almost succeeds when suddenly all
traces of the young man are lost. At
this point she meets some old friends
who are living in almost want and in
order to assist them through motives
benevolent, she determines to sink
her own aristocratic personality in
that of a refined but humble little
Irish waitress with the family that
are in want. She not only carries
her scheme to success in assisting the
family, but finds romance and much
tense and lively adventure during the
period of her fncognito aside from
capturing the young man who had de-
frauded her father.
Following is the cast of characters:
Constance Darcy, the multi-million-
aires daughter, Faith Edmunds;
Celeste, her maid, Aldelena Ray

PEOPLES ACADEMY NOTES

The freshman class is busy prepar-
ing for the St. Patrick social to be
given Friday evening after the bas-
ketball game.
The members of the basketball
team took the trip to Waterbury last
Friday by auto truck. The game was
very closely contested. P. A. took
the lead and held it during the first
period. During the first part of the
second period Waterbury caught up
and tied the score, but by fast play
ing and superior team work the
P. A. boys forged ahead and the game
ended with the score of 38 to 80.
After the game refreshments were
served in the high school building by
members of the home economics
classes.
The final game of the Northern
League series will be played at the
local gymnasium Friday night of this
week at 1880 o'clock. This game
will decide whether P. A. or Water
bury High School will stand at the
foot of the league. The waterbury
boys will put forth all their efforts
to win, but P. A. does not propose to
allow victory to be wrenched from
their grasp at this last opportunity
Because of an unavoidable delay
the report cards covering the last six
weeks work win not be out until the
latter part of the week instead of
early this week, as previously an
nounced in chapel.
Several pupils have returned to
school this week after an absence of
several days because of sickness.
Among the number are Cornelia and
Beulah Marshall, Mildred Fortier,
Ethel Mckee, Ralph Chaffee, Urban
Wakefield and Warren Foss.
Mr.. Fortier, teacher of French and
chemistry, was unable to be in school
Monday.
The P. A. second team was defeated
on Saturday night by a team from
Hyde Park High School. The game
was rough but exciting, as each side
led alternately by but one or two
points and when the whistle blew
Hyde Park was fortunate enough to
be on the right side of the score foot
ings.
Rehearsals for the senior play are
in progress daily after the close of
the afternoon sessions. Announce
ments concerning the play will be
found elsewhere in this issue.
