he married Lucy A. Annis. ;
During -his residence in Barton he
continued to show his interest in the
church' that he so much loved,' by his
kind attentions and helpful words to
those ivho were sick or in trouble, and
many a heart has been warmed by
his poems of love and good cheer He
was interested in all the church activ
ities and attended the regular services
as long as his health permitted. He
was a teacher in the Sunday school
for many years. - - .
During the annual conference in
Barre his spirit was released from its
earthly prison to join the conference

"He has fought a good -fight, he has
finished his course, he has kept the
faith; henceforth there is laid up for
him -a crown' of righteousness, which
the Lord, the righteous judge, shall
give at that day, and not to him only,
but unto all them, also, that love his
appearing'

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
Baseball, Commencement Program
and Junior Play Report.
BASEBALL
The academy baseball team has
most -favorably opened Its season by
winning its first, four games. -The
23d of April Johnson High was beat
en 12 to 4 and the boys began to show
their hitting ability. On the 29th,
Craftsbury was overwhelmed 24 to 2
making up for the defeats adminis
tered by them in basket ball. Wed
nesday, May 4, North Troy High hit
the dst 3 to. 1 in a beautiful well
played game before a sjnall crowd of
faithfuls. Saturday, May 7th, B. A.

exciting game by the score of 10 to
9 before an enthusiastic crowd of
students and townspeople.
Carter, captain, has. pitched superb
ly and rates as one of the best school
boy twirlers in northern Vermont.
Valley has caught well and improves
steadily with every game. Smith at
first base is the same reliable and his
long hits have been a feature of the
games. Comstock takes to second
basing and is ably supported at
short stop by "Mike" Hanson, Who
has one of the best . whips seen in
many a day. Mudgett, who plays
chird, when Carter is twirling, has
ihown by his work-in the box that he
an twirl a . creditable game. Cor
..lish has shown much hitting ability
his year and covers lots of ground in
.eft. Buchanan is a regular bif
leaguer in center and is a tower of
strength. Allen and Lewis are break
ing in at the right field and are im
proving with exnerience
. The students and townspeople have
supported the games poorly and it
is hoped that the attendance will be
better in the remaining games.

week; on Saturday. Derby academy
comes here. .

ed. A dance followed with music by
the New Harmony orchestia. Pro
ceeds amounted to over $200, and the
class cleared $150.
This play may be repeated later for
the benefit of the Athletic association.
4The Cost of Production
As never before the farmer is now
realizing the importance of cost of
production figures. With practically
all crops selling below cost, it is high
time every farmer who intends to
stay in business, sits up, does, some
good, hard ' thinking and gets busy.
Yes,.' and busy with a pencil -and fig
ures. Guess work no longer goes.
The farmer must be protected, but
there is no help for those who will
not help themselves. Americans are
not peeking charity, in fact, no one
expects the farmers to sacrifice in the
sale of their products, but how is a
fair price for farm products to be
determined when the- farmer himself
does not know what it has cost him
to produce such crops. The public in
general is willing to pay the farmer
cost of production plus a reasonable
profit if they only m know what that
cost of production is, but, when the
farmer himself , does not know what
it cost him to produce a quart of milk
or a . bushel of potatoes, how can he
expect to receive the fair price. To
sell below cost is certainly not a
business proposition and cannot long
continue. No one but the farmer can
get the cost account, figures. An ex
tra effort is being made this year by
the Farm Bureau to collect reliable
data- in Orleans county on the cost
of producing maple products, dairy
products and potatoes. Blanks fo
keeping those accounts are furnished
free of charge on application to the
Farm Bureau office and assistance in
starting same is available. Let's se
Orleans county do her share in ob
taining these cost account figures.
Special Farm Bureau Meeting.
The Executive committee o the
Farm Bureau met at Hotel Barton
Frday, May 7th. Those present were
Pres. Dutton, Messrs. Shaw, Niles,
Kelley, Williams, Cook, Mrs. J. H.
Bartlett, Agents Abell and Bacon,
Mr. Carrigan, Asst. state county
leader, and Mr. Wilson, assistant, in
charge of County Agent work in the
ten Eastern states. ,1
The coming membership campaign
was fully discussed. Mr. Carrigan
outlined the method of carrying on
membership campaigns in other coun
ties, particularly those on the $10
family membership, basis, and gave
the reasons why such campaigns were
necessary. At present Addison,
Windsor, Chittenden, Rutland, Wash
ington, and Franklin couties have
adopted the $10 family, membership
plan.
The committee voted to recommend
that the Orleans County Farm Bureau
adopt the $10 plan,, and that a spe
cial meeting be heldvat Orleans some
time this month to decide the ques
tion. The date of Saturday afternoon
May 21st, has been definitely set for
this meeting. -E. B. Cornwall of Mid
dlebury, president of the Vermont
Farm Bureau federation, and Mr.
Cooper of the Illinois federation, who
is now working in Vermont and New
Hampshire, have promised to address
the meeting. t

Orleans Aid Association.
'Plans have been started for the es
tablishment of a permanent fund tc
assist in defraying the medical and
hospital expenses of needy patients
from the village of Orleans. This
fund will be deposited in the ban!:
and will be subject to the order of an
executive committee that will pass
on all requests for assistance Tby th
local physicians or institutions.
Such a fund has been uppermost in
the thoughts of many of the local
people. Tuesday evening about a
dozen of the citizens of the village
met to discuss the project. The Or
leans Aid association was assumed
temporarily as the working name oi"
the fund. .A temporary organization
was affected with the following oui
cers: President, J. G. Turnbull; sec
retary, C. D. French; treasurer, R. A.
Bean. An executive committee of
eight persons was elected.
, A permanent . name, constitution,
and staff of officers will be elected as
soon as an opportunity is given to
the people of the village to become
members and thus heft in thp Hi
tion of the association. Nineteen in
dividuals have indicated . their desire
to become charter members by sub
scribing the membership fee of one
dollar each to the fund. This num
ber will, undoubtedly be increased
within a short time. At the request
of the association, the Orleans high
school kindly consented to repeat the
play, "The Colonel's Maid," as a-benefit
to start the fund. The drawing
class is assisting by making the pos
ters for the performance which will
be given Thursday evening, May 12,
at the Orleans Opera House. Ad

Butter Substitutes vs. Surplus ' Milk.
An official of the N. E. M. P. A. on
a recent trip through Vermont finds
the following deplorable conditions in
actual existence in one of our com
munities which is only an example of
the average rural community of New
England. ,
At the four stores visited by the
official in this particular community,
fully three-fourths of all the trade is
from farmers. Probably a large pro
portion of them are selling milk or
dairy products in some form. In the
past four years the sales of various
forms of butter substitutes has in
creased 300 per cent. That is, for
every pound they are selling in 1917
they are selling four pounds now, and
they are selling the greater part of it
to farmers.
- Another community was visited
where one store was doing business
and receiving 95 per cent, of its trade
from farm homes. The store sends
one team out into the country tak
ing orders for . groceries each week.
On the route every family but four
buys more or less butter substitutss.
The average quantity sold is 'two
pounds per family per week. Some
of this goes to members of the N. E.

TRAIN CREW INVOLVED
Grand Trunk Employees Charged
with Bringing in Booze
One of the most interesting cases
of Volstead act violations that has
been reported for some time was
brought before United "States Com
missioner Walter H. Cleary Friday
afternoon, when the entire crew of a
freight train on the Grand Trunk
railroad were brought to Newport
from Island Pond by United States
Custom Officer L B. Jones and United
State Deputy Marshall Henry G.
Egilton. i .
The train crew, which were charged
with unlawfully assisting in trans
portating importations of intoxicating
beverages, consisted of engineer,
James Toland, fireman Paul VerrilL
conductor, Henry Danforth, and
brakemen, William Riggie and J. P.
Cole.
At the opening of the court Com
missioner Cleary explained that the
purpose of. the court was to fix bail
for appearance at the United States
court at Windsor the third week of
this month, to. which the entire crew
expressed to desire to have a hearing
at that time. None of the arrainged
desired to employ council. Customs
Officer L. B. Jones acted for the gov
ernment in examining the witnesses.
He outlined the case against the five
men, and brought with him four ex
pert witnesses. Deputy Collectors H.
C. Belknap, W. W. Thurber, C. S.
Foster and H. E. Harvey who. were
the men who figured in the appre
hending of the train crew in their
attempt to transport the liquors.
Deputy Harvey was the principal
witness, and was on the stand at sonic
length. During the hearing the men
of the train crew were privileged to
ask any questions that they desired
or take the stand in defense, but they
were willing to rest the matter with
the court and only one or two ques
tions were asked. The story of the
attempt to get away with .the liquor
as told by Collector Harvey was as
follows:
To check the passing of smuggled
goods which officers were suspicions
was going on over the railroad f rieght
lines, and at the order of Deputy
Jones, Officers Belknap, Thurber, Fos
ter, and Harvey started out on a
still hunt cn the afternoon of Mr.y
ord. They procured a boat and rowed
to the lower end of the pond, where
they took the railroad track. After
going in the direction" of East
Brighton about two miles, they con
cealed themselves in the woods where
they could watch the highway, their
location bein on the Jake Barnes
farm and about 1G0 yards from the
railroad. About G:30 their attention
ras attracted to an approaching auto,
which in the dusk they described as
a touring car With, yellow wheels.
The car stopped not far from where
they were in hiding. One man
alijhted, going through the woods and
in doing this passed within a couple
of feet of the officers. He was later
identified as Guy Waldron.
The auto passed along a short dis
tance, then returning. The officers,
who were ' stationed in pairs
about 100 yards apart, then had a
long wait, as it ,was not until about
8:15 that their attention was at
tracted to what they thought was the
same auto again approaching, closely
followed by another car. When near
the same point where the first car
stopped each car N gave a signal of
three blasts of the auto horn. A few
minutes after, a frieght train was
heard approaching from Island Pond.
When nearly opposite the point where
the autos stopped, the officers heard
the breaks applied, and the train came
to a stop. Officers Foster and Har
vey hastened to the railroad, where
Harvey in walking toward the rear
end of the train met Conductor Dan
forth going towards the head end
on the opposite side. The officers
followed and when near the fifteenth
car from the-engine, which was No.
14118 A. R. L., consigned to Berlin,
N H., he saw three men on the
ground, one on the ,side of the car,
and another on top, busily oading
sacks of. what proved to be bottles
of liquor and cans of alcohol. When
about thirty feet away he turned his
flashlight on the parties, calling for
them to hold up their hands, at which
they made a wild dash for the woods
in the darkness. Harvey fired three
shojs but it failed to check the irfiight.
'i he conductor, who passed by the men
when at work, was near the head end
of the train, and upon the report of
the revolver the train started.
Deputy Harvey, having at one time
been a railroad man, used his flash
light as a signal to stop, without re
sults. He then quickly pulled an
angle cock which set the . brakes on
the forty cars at the rear end of the
train, bringing the train to a stop.
He mounted the top of the car calling
for his' assistant officers. When
Thurber and Belknap arrived, they
naa witn them uarl ieavy, who they
apprehended in the road as they
started for. the railroad. He was
placed on top of the car and in com
pany of two officers and the seizure of
liquor remained until Officer Harvey
entered the car of the engine and
ordered the train returned to Island
Pond.
Peavey, who was claimed to be the
man on the top. of the car, was the
only one of the five men who were
doing the loading that was captured,
the other four making their get away.
Peavy was brought to Newport
Wednesday and placed under tempo
rary bail of $500 for his appearance
again Friday, when he had for counsel
Attorney Powell of Island Pond and
J. Rolf Searles of St. Johnsbury. At
the conclusion of the hearing Commis
sioner Cleary continued his bail ct
$500 for his appearance at the next
session of the United States court.
Bail being procured, he was released.
Out -of the train crew Engineer
Toland, Conductor Danforth and
Brakeman Cole were placed under
$500 bail each for appearance at the
United States Court at Windsor this
pionth, bail in all cases being 'fur
nished and parties released.
Among the witnesses in the case
was Trainmaster Cooper of the Grand
Trunk railroad who testified as to the
duties of each of the train crew when
a stop was made on the main line.
All of the witnesses testified that no
