Here's wishing President Wilson a
kappy and prosperous administration.
Get on to the band wagon and be
came a member of the Orleans County
Agricultural bureau.
Vermont awaits the outcome of the
vte yesterday on the several constitu
tional amendments with interest.
March came in like a lamb and is
supposed to go cut a lion of course.
Candlemas day lea-ends are thus far
being borne out this year.
We notice in the National Tribune
tfcat Ex-Gov. John A. Mead is being en
dorsed by the G. A. R. posts of Ver
mont for department commander of
e G. A. R.
We suppose Barton and Orleans will
on have real postmasters. The pres
et incumbents are only serving such
time as intervenes between the expir
ation of their present term and the ap
pointment of new men by our demo
cratic president.
Hale K. Darling, one of the most in
fluential senators in the just deceased
Legislature, thinks one of the most im
portant bills passed by that body is one
itroduced by Mr. Hewitt of Plainfield
wlaich provides for a department for
tke drafting and revision of bills. A
board of revisers and drafters will sit
eefore the beginning of the session and
aembers may send drafts of proposed
measures. These bills will be put in
proper shape and be ready for consid
eration when the legislative body con
venes. The time for the introduction
f bills may also be limited to two or
tkree weeks. Thisnew law may give
s some relief from long sessions and
tkus save the state some money.
Of course Col. C. S. Emery's admin
istration of the affairs of the port of
M emphremagog as collector is nearly
rer. If this port is not consolidated
with that of Burlington a new man, a
democrat, will soon preside over the
ustoms affairs at Newport. There
are many good reasons why this port
should not be made a part only of the
Burlington district but a district in it
self. The amount of business done
tkrough this port is large and needs
More than a deputy in charge. We un
derstand the candidates for the posi
tion are H. B. Howe of St. Johnsbury
and J. G. Ullery of Brattleboro. Both
tkese men are men of affairs and eith
er is capable of presiding over this
ustoms port with the same efficiency
that has been characteristic of the
Memphremagog district since its crea
tion. After quoting what the Monitor said
last week about the price of maple
products and our prediction that 20c
and 25c a pound would be the figure
seme day received for good maple sug
ar, the St. Albans Messenger says :
This is the trade mark age, the age
f distinctive markings and names for
roods. Why shouldn't the maole sugar
trade adopt the up-to-date methods of
marketing? If makers of sugar put
p their wares in fancy packages as do
the makers of other kinds of confec
tions and advertise in their limited cir
cle. The Messenger believes they might
realize a greater return for the maple
products. Some distinctive marking
adopted by those producers who do a
"big enough business to justify it,
would bring' surprising results and
hasten the day predicted by the Moni
tor. For there will be no need of ad
vertising the general product ; Ver
mont maple sugar has a reputation of
" the highest, all that is necessary is
eally to take advantage of this great
Jree advertising value.
Comments on the .merits of the new
tax law vary all the way from the sub
lime to the .ridiculous. Some believe
it is the greatest thing for the 'relief
f the poor man that ever happened
while others see in it a tax law fixed
p for "the' rich man." However wide
the views may be and whatever the
utcome. the measure is a change from
a law which-admittedly was not work
ing justice and equality to all. That
the new law will not correct all this
oust be admitted, but the Monitor be-,
Heves the measure is a step in the di
rection of the ultimate solution of the
taxation problem, when .tangiblesonly
will be taxed. In some ways it will
work an extra hardship this year be
cause so short a time is left between
tiie enactment of the law and listing.
Many borrowers and lenders will not
fcave sufficient time to make necessary
hanges in their paper. If, however,
fenmliate action is taken, a large
sktid ant of 5 per cent loans should be
egjtiated before April 1 and both bor
ro war and lender "benefitted. The Mon
itor calls the attention of its readers
to f Locke's letter in this issue. It
speaks very intelligently on this subject.
WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
N' New Maple Sugar.
A well-known Boston house adver
tises in last Saturday's Herald that
"the new maple syrups and maple sug
ars are here," and adds "to a true
New, Englander that's the most wel
come news that could possibly, be, "
and then as a final says "pure syrup
drawn as sap from the fine old trees
of Vermont and boiled down from
twenty gallons of sap to one of syr
up." This will of course be news to
Vermonters who haven't yet broken
out the road to the sugar place and
won't for some weeks yet. It was
Lincoln who said "you can fool some
of the people all the time, all of the
people some of the time, but not all of
the people all the time." And this is
just as true about maple sugar as oth
er things. Hyde Park News and Citi
zen. Good Time
Promised for
Hotels.
Vermont
Good times ahead for Vermont hotel
keepers is indicated by the statement
that ' a single hotel in Burlington has
secured bookings which will bring over
one thousand people. -And if these, are
already the known prospect0 what -of
the unknown? The latter is bound to
be large, because the average person
does not plan so far ahead for accommo
dations in the hotels which cater to all
classes of business, although persons
wrho desire accommodations in "summer
hotels" are required to be early in or
der to get places. Neither do parties
touring by automobile make bookings
until immediately prior; and a large
part of Vermont's summer visitor busi
ness is included in this latter class.
Therefore, all things considered, the
coming summer should mean large in
crease in business for Vermont hotels,
especially since the climatic conditions
promise to be more conducive to "sum
mering" in the country. Barre Times.
Coming Back to Vermont.
A letter was received in Burlington
the other day from Pullman, Wash.,
asking about prices and location of or
chard lands in Vermont not over four
miles from market. This seeker for
information said he had sold his or
chard out there on the slope and want
ed to locate in the East. Why? Pre
sumably because he would be three or
four thousand miles nearer the market
and in, the light of his experience knew
what that meant. When the methods
that have made apple growing so suc
cessful in Washmgon and Oregon are
applied in Vermont these Champlain
valley orchards will become very valu
able. We believe that day is not far
distant. The progressive movement is
on in Vermont as elsewhere, and the
indications are that the Green Moun
tain state will yet come into its own.
"Do your part well, there all the hon
or lies." Vergennes Enterprise.
Correct.
After the newspapers and the people
get tired of criticising the legislature
and its faults they will forget the only
way they can secure a change for the
better, which is to return members of
experience, who have done well once.
Not all members should be returned.
Some are dangerous and some are use
less, while still others, who mean well
and are honest and patriotic, are not
fitted for that particular work. In
nearly every town, however, is one or
more men of legislative experience,
who have proved faithful to the pub
lic. Send this kind back or else pick
out a new man with the qualities of
unselfishness and public spirit and send
him for two or three terms. The most
dangerous man in a legislature is one
who puts his own selfish personal mer
cenary or political motives ahead of
his service to the state. Some of this
kind get into every legislature, but
their going should be guarded against.

Vermont Farmers Successful
Editor Monitor:
In reading your article in the Moni
tor on immigrating east, I am led to
explain why it seems to me the farm
ers in the western states fail to make
good. Now I was born and brought up
in Vermont but have lived in Massa
chusetts and Connecticut, of course
once' a Vermonter always 'one, but I
can see plainly where the great trouble
lies in the western state farmers or at
least two thirds of those, and it is this,
they don't get down to business, in oth
er words they farm in a half-hearted
manner. JNow, where 1 live I can
look around and find only a very few
farmers that are successful. One
thing that looks shiftless to my Ver
mont instinct is the lack of a good
wood pile. While two or three farm
ers in a vicinity have sufficient to last
the year around, others are cutting lit
tle "jags" and hauling them to the
house to cut up as needed and another
thing I notice they dislike to go out if
it is storming. Of course there are
exceptions but I am speaking of the
average farmer in Massachusetts and
Connecticut, I won't go any. farther
away than I know by observation and
I maintain if they would get up in the
morning and get to work and use as
much ambition as the average farmer
there would not be as many abandoned
farms in these states as there are
now. There are many good farms
around in my vicinity, that if, not
abandoned might as welL be for all
they , produce. I know of: one farm
that the hay has been sold off from for
twelve years and in that time hot one
particle of fertilizer has been put on
and then they say this farm is run out
and wonder ,why. Of course near the
cities and large places there are up-to-date
farms where they depend a
great deal on hired help. ' The farms
I speak of are the ones lying back on
the hills some ten and twelve miles
from railroad, they say, "if the trolley
will only come our way we may hope
to do something." But unless they
get a little Vermont enthusiasm in
their veins and get to work in a sci
entific manner they will never make a
success of farming. Then many of
the hill farmers do not plow deep
enough or harrow sufficiently after
ward and they laugh at us Vermonters
for plowing in the fall and cutting our
hay . not later than the first week in
July, I think it would be well to "im
port" some good Vermont farmers to
show them even though they are not
from Missouri.

STATE NEWS;
Finds Pearl in Oyster.
- .. '
- A diner at the City hotel, Barre,
found a valuable pearl in an oyster one
day last week. He has been offered
$20 for it but refused the offer.
Successful Farmers' Week.
Farmers' Week was held in" Burling
ton last week. The sessions have been
well attended and the varied subjects
on the program were intelligently dis
cussed by experts. The registration
approximated 400.
Relatives Find Body in Sleigh. :
A. W. Allen, who resided on a farm
about one and a half miles from Barre
on the East Montpelier road, commit
ted suicide Friday evening while on his
way home. He had nearly reached his
house when he shot himself in the tem
ple with a revolver, death being in
stantaneous. The horse , continued to
the barn where the body was discovered
by the family lying in the sleigh. The
revolver and a box of cartridges were
purchased by him that morning at the
Willian Reynolds store in Barre. It
is thought financial troubles led to the
act. '
Principal is Sustained.
At a hearing before the school board
in Burlington in the matter of a petition
to reinstate the four students suspend
ed by Principal Chittenden for disobe
dience, the board voted to sustain the
principal. The plea of the petition
ers was that in the cj.se of three boys,
Ashley, Braker and Buxton sentence
was not just, and asked for reinstate
ment. All received the same sen
tence at the same time. It is not like
ly that Principal Chittenden will re
voke the suspension as he believes it
will not be for the best iuterests of
the school.
College Man is Missing.
Albert L. Carlton of St. Johnsbury,
a freshman at the University of Ver
mont, has been missing since Wednes
day noon, Feb. 26, and his disappear
ance is a mystery. He started for col
lege that afternoon after paying his
board bill and nas not neen seen
since,
lately
Carl ton had been despondent
and the theory of suicide or
mental derangement is advanced. He !
graduated from St Johnsbury acad
emy last fall. When last seen he wore
a dark red and black mackinaw and
gray cap and corduroy trousers. He is
23 years old and five feet seven inches
tall, of slim build.
Campaign Again; t Brown Tailed Moth.
E. S. . Brigham, newly appointed
commissioner of agriculture to succeed
O. L. Martin, begun a campaign against
the brown tailed moth which caused
considerable havoc among trees last
year and which he hopes to exterminate
this year with the aid of the farmers.
The district which was affected is on
the east side of the state and extends
from Hartford north as far as Sutton
in a belt about the width of two town
ships. Bradford is apparently the
most affected while in Hartford there
are scarcely any, with the exception
of some in White River Junction.
Two men are already at work clipping
off the nests and more will probably be
used soon. L. H. Worthly. of the
United States department of agricul
ture, will arrive in a few days and
will go over the ground with Mr.
Brigham His recommendations will
probably be followed out and will be
printed and circulated for the benefit
of the farmers from time to time.
Washington Pageant by Montpelier
. Seminary Studen.s.
The ' historical pageant given by
the teachers and students of Montpe
lier seminary, celebrating the one
hundred eighty-first birthday of George
Washington, was one of the most suc-
cessiui entertainments ever given Dy a
preparatory school in Vermont. Two
performances were given in the chap
el, Friday evenine and Saturday after
noon, before a crowded room. The
program consisted of fourteen episodes
and five tableaux presented' by one 1
hundred fifty characters in costume.
The episodes were written by the
members of the junior and senior
classes in connection with the English
department conducted by Miss Miriam
I. Kimball. The scenes portraved the
life of the "Father of His Country"
from the cherry tree event to the close
of his presidency. Miss Mabel C.
Hamilton of the elocution department
had charge of the arranging and drill
ing for the different scenes. The part
of George Washington was well taken
by Prof. Fred McCullum. The seen-
n . 1 - rw , . 1 "
ery ior tne airterent settings was
made by the students under the direc
tion of Miss Helena Mitchell, the art
instructor. Colonial fathers, dames,
sons and maids, English officers and
soldiers, the noble Frenchman. Laf ayr
ette, highly painted Indians arid bow
ing darkies passed before the applaud
ing audiences. The pageant was giv
en in support of a chapel improve
ment movement that has been going
on the past year among students and
menus 01 the seminary. The stage
has already been enlarged and cur
tained, and is now the best equipped
in Montpelier. The writers of the ep
isodes were the Misses Gladys Martin,
Emma Fuller and Alice Waldo, Albert
Freeman. Franklyn Dwinell, William
Moore, Kenneth Harris and Victor
Smith. Between the scenes music was
furnished by the orchestra and a cho
rus directed by Prof. L.: J. Hathwav.

Fertilizing Salt Only $4.00 Per

Farmers who feel that they can
not afford to buy Kertilizing
Chemicals or prepared Phosphates
will find it to their advantage to

who have used it claim that it
gives a splendid return on the in
vestment and it costs only $4.00
per ton. It is considered especial
ly valuable for oats on light dry soil.
The above named price is 50'c less
than last year and is likely to ,be
