the Burlington Free Press that | was
the author Of the poem "The Pass
ing of the Old Vermont Meeting
House." l certainly was more than
shocked, not only at the injustice
done, but the absurdity of my posing
as a poet. The facts are that as
good loyal Vermonter by birth, any
thing about Vermont interests me.
Last summer we spent three months
at the Equinox House in Manchester.
At the Skinner library there l
found many books on the early his
tory of Vermont and devoured every
thing. l, in some way, got hold of a
copy of futile & Co.'S book list and
sent for some of Rowland 'Robinson's
books, and your book Of Rhymes of
Vermont Rural Life" AS an archi-
tect and lover of the colonial style
"The Passing Of the Old Vermont
Meeting House" particularly interest
ed me, and l showed it to many
friends including my partner, Mr.
Kendall He admired it so much
that had typewriter copy made
for him, upon which unfortunately
did not add the name of the author.
Mr. Kendall who was in correspond
ence with Mr. Wilbur of Manchester
sent it on saying, that "Mr Mead had
put it on his desk and that it might
interest him." Mr. Wilbur evidently
assumed that I had written the poem,
and sent it on to Guy Bailey, the
president of the University of Yer
mont. and he probably passed it on
to the Free Press. 1t is strange to
me that Mr. Wilbur, who is interest
ed in Vermont history, and Guy
Bailey, former secretary of State,
engaged in booming Vermont as a
summer resort, should not be familiar
with this poem. I am sending you
with this copy of my letter to the
Free Press, though from my own ex-
perience I do not find newspapers
ready to correct errors they have
made.
The whole matter is mix-up and
I regret it very much. should be
very proud to have written your
poems They contain the true YER
mont spirit, and I hope I may meet
you some day and compare notes.
Very truly yours,

OLDEN DAYS IN VERMONT.

The following is taken from the
Burlington Free Press of Mar. 18th:
The Free Press has received long
delayed CORE pondence which serves
to clear up the mystery how poem
which had previously appeared in
our columns, "The Passing of the
Old Meeting House in Vermont"
written by Daniel L Cady, came to
appear in another connection and at
tributed to another man. 1t seems
that William Rutherwood Mead of
the well-known firm Of architects
was impressed by this particular
poem in Rhymes of Vermont's Rural
Life" referring to his native State,
and copied the same in typewriter
to pass along to his partner, who
had greatly admired it. Mr. Kendall
passed it along to Mr. Wilbur of Man
chester saying Mr. Mead had sent it
but neglecting to attach the authors
name at the bottom and the latter
naturally assumed it was by Mr.
Mead. The matter was handed to the
Free Press by the University pub
licity department. The delayed cor
respondence explaining the full stu
alton follows:

have read and admired the poem
in Daniel L Cady's Rhymes of Yer
mont Rural Life" and have shown it
to many friends. That l claim to
be a poet, or have written this or
any other poem is out of the question.
AS you have given prominence to
this matter, including even a bio
graphical notice of myself, I must
ask you to give equal prominence to
this denial.

BIG CAPACITY WELL.
Large Amount of Water Secured on
WinSlOw Farm.

The following is copied from the
Bennington (Vt) Banner of March
21st, 1922:
The we'll recently completed on
the farm of HARDWOOD hill that A II
Winslow some time ago donated to
the Winslow Home for the Aged cor
poration has been tested and found
to have a capacity of 1900 gallons an
hour.
The we'll was sunk to a depth Of
SIS feet, a remarkably short distance
considering the elevation of the land
on which it was located. The drill
passed through but five feet of solid
rock before reaching the water vein
and developing a sufficient capacity
to meet all expected needs.
Another attempt to sink we'll was
made on the property number of
years ago. A hole was sunk to a
depth of over forty feet and the
company engaged for the work quit
the job. The formation is mostly
hard-heads and the company encoun-
tered all kinds of difficulties.
Mr. Winslow made his latest con-
tract with the Bay State Artesian
Well Company at a specified price
per foot with the expectation that
it would be necessary to sink the
hole to a considerable. depth. Reach
ing water at 55 feet will make the
contract losing venture for the
company but the job will demon
strate that water can be secured in
some localities in this vicinity at a
comparatively small expense.

OUTLOOK FOR
 1922 IS GOOD
MORE GOODS AND LESS GOLD IS PREDTCITIGN-PRICES TO BE LOWER BUT STILL ABOVE NORMAL PRE-WAR PERIOD.

Reviewing the progress made to- ward normal during the year just ended and the outlook for 1922, the American Exchange National Bank of New York in its regular monthly review of business conditions states that this year we will probably get les gold and more goods.
 Measured by normal standards, , says the bank, ''the outlook for 1922 is comparatively bright. The farm CT has suffered the greatest dirninu- ton of purchasing power, but even in his case there has been exaggera- ton, for while farm products stand only 13 per cent above 1913, steel prices are only 20 per cent above the 1913 average.
 We have also commonly under estimated the importance of our cur rent foreign trade; pound for pound we are running something like 25 per cent under the peak and far above normal. Savings banks continue to report increases and there are nu- merous other indications that we are doing better than we know. The net income of the railroads will ap- proximate $500,O00, and they are already laying plans for 1922 that will increase the prosperity of the entire country.
 South American conditions are mending; the crops are being mar keted in Argentina. The Far East shows steady improvement and in- creased purchasing power"
