Academy Notes.
PRE-MEMORIAL
Pre-Memorial day exercises ' are : to
be given by Barton s academy , and
graded school in Alumni hall, Friday,
May 27th, at 2J0O o'clock. 1 A cordial
invitation is extended -to the public
to "attend these exercises. . . . . .
SMALL GIRLS GOOD SPELLERS
Oral and written ' contests were
given to all children of grades five,
six, seven and eight of Barton Graded
school, to determine the represent-
atives for the Orleans County Spelling
match. Winifred Webster and Marion
Tower of grade five, proved "to be the
victorious ones.
On Saturday, May 2lst, they rep
resented.the village in the county con
test held at Newport. Miss , Wini
fred succeeded' in 'spelling 68 words
correctly, not missing any word of , the
required state list for grades five,
six, seven and eight. On the word
"phosphorus" of an auxiliary list,
Winifred went down, leaving however,
only three of the thirty nine contest
ant standing while Miss - Marion
spelled 64 words without mistake, and
left but five contestants to spell.
Ihvview of the fact that there were
pnly v three-fifth graders eligible to
take part in the county, contest, and
with the majority of opponents from
grades seven and eight, great credit
is due the two little girls for the way
in which they represented their school.
Barton has a right to feel great pride
in their representatives. ,

FAjtM BUREAU ON NEW BASIS
New Membership Fee of $10 Adopted
: and Campaign Comes in August
A special meeting of the Orleans
County Farm Bureau was held at the
Opera house, Orleans, Saturday, at
which several; important steps were
taken. - ' ' :. V, .'
' The first speaker of the afternoon
was C. J. Cooper, of the Illinois Farm
Bureau, Who is now directing mem
bership campaigns in Vermont nd
New Hampshire: "Mr. Cooper " filTst
told of the' reasons why so many
counties were finding i necessary to
raise their Farm Bureau dues and
thus enable to better carry on the
work in their local organizations, and
also be a member of .and help finance
the State and National Farm Bureau
organizations, which are doing so
much to solve the serious problems
facing the farmers "today. That the
tariff problems are serious is shown
by the large amount of foreign pro
ducts which are being imported and
driving the price of our town products
below the costa of production. More
than 2000 tons of New Zealand butter
have been sold to the United States.
Denmark, Argentina; Holland and
Canada are all shipping millions of
pounds monthly. Condensed milk and
cheese are coming in Maily. . " Recently
in one week in New YorkJ alone there
came 90,900 cases 'of frozen whole
eggs, 10,100 cans )f frozen whites,
18,142 cases frozen yokes to say noth
ing of shipments to Boston, and oth
er ports." Thousands Of tons of cocoa
nut oil arecoming into this country
weekly, and taking the place of cream
and condensed milk, "also" going into
the make up' of butter substitutes
and is used to replace milk and oth
er dairy products. Cocoanut oil and
Danish-butter are already being used
right, here in our own state of Ver
mont, where our dairies furnish 90
per cent, of bur income.
E.-'B. Cornwall, president of the
Vermont State Farm Bureau federa
tion, emphasized still further the imr
portance of farmers becoming bet
ter organized and backing up their or
ganization in a business-like, manner.
He also told of the method of con
ducting the membership campaign
and the success they had met with in
other jcouhties. .1
Thnas .Bradlee, director of Ver
mont. Extension Service spoke of the
progresyx)f the work irt this and oth
er counties and. emphasized, the nec
essity of placing the. work on a sound
business basis.
