a SHAM OF MuTuAlITy.

Y Reports from several iowa toWHs
indicate that the regular solicitors for
the Mutual Life Insurance Company OF
New York and other agents are can
wasting Mutual Life policy holders for
the purpose of getting their proxies
to avote for the maintenance of the
present board of directors. This, work
lis being done under the direction of
the state agent.
j! These agents are only few of a
vast army put out by the Peabody
Standard Oil regime and paid out Of
the treasury of the company, out of the
money belonging to policy holders to
Keep in office the very men the policy
holders are trying to turn out.
Could there be a more. irnpudent or
defiant reply to public criticism? The
Mutual Life was one of the great COM
panies exposed by Lawyer Hughes in
the New York investigation. The
scandals disclosed as to outrageous
salaries, nepotism and underwriting
syndicate commissions, We're enough
ITO justify a new deal. The policy
holders want square deal. a new
board, but the Peabody crowd, backed
by Standard Oil interests, are in con-
troll and can use the money of the
policy holders to keep the policy hold
#ers from exercising their rights. Such
is the sham of mutually in company
the size of one New YoriS's big three.

ledge of the Vcrmont Bird club, be 1t
resolved by this club, in annual summer
meeting assembled on Mt Mansfield this
4th day of July. 1906, that the existing
laws in regard to the protection of tho
birds in our State should he observed
more strictly, and that such laws should
be thoroughly enforced by the proper Of
hcials.
BE 1t resolved that the State game war.
den be notified of such infringement of
the law: that he be urged to instruct the
county game wardens to investigate and
prosecute violations of the law in their
respective counties,
Whereas birds are the property Of the
State and not of the individuals upon
whose land they dwell, and whereas birds
are of great economic and aesthetic value
to the State, be 1t resolved that the
Vermont Bird club appeals to the gen

strictly enforced. that birds are not wan
tonly and illegally killed.
BE II further resolved that these resolu-
tions. In whole or in part. be printed in

GYPSY MOTH SPREADS
IN CONNECTICUT
1t Is Hoped to Wipe Out Pest by PARA
ct Infested RegiOus-Enemy
to Trees and Fruit.

The Hartford Times says: The cvpsv
moth is an enemy to NAPLES, chestnuts.
oaks, pines, hemlocks, willow, birch,
beech. also apple and other fruit trees.
Its spread is rapid in a community in
which 1t once gets started. The moth has
now extended its operations Until they
cover almost the entire cavern coast of
Massachusetts, reaching as far west as
Worcester, as far north as Hampton and
Portsmouth, n. H., south to Providence.
r. l., and the Connecticut towns on the
border of Rhode Island.
The moth. says the Year Book of the
department of agriculture. was introduced
into this country in lS6S by a Harvard pro-
fcssor. who was cS perimenting with the
cross-hreedinG of wild silkworms. and an
egg cluster blew out of his window nj
Maiden. Twenty years later the cater
pillars had become such a great nuisance
In Maiden that the State undertook an
investigation in the hope of discriminating
the species. and 1t was found To have
spread until it occupied "A territory of
about 10 square miles.
During the next 10 years. by constantly
increasing appropriations and by the ac-
tive work of a large number of paid en-
ployes, the State had succeeded in prac-
tically controlling all further spread, and
in greatly reducing the numbers of the
insect. In 1900, however, appropriations
lapsed, and from that year until 1905 the
insect was again allowed to multiply and
spread. unhindered, save by the operations
of private persons. 1t soon became as
numerous as 1t had been early in the
State Investigations, and the boundaries
of the region inhabited by 1t widened out
until the present dimensions We're reached.
While the gypsy moth has been attack
ed to some slight extent by American
parasites and predatory insects, they had
so little effect in checking the advance of
the pest that an attempt is now being
made to import enemies OF these moths
from Europe. To this end 200 specimens
of a beetle which has been enicacious in
Europe were shipped from Naples last
year, but O "a their arrival In Boston all
were found to have died on the way. The
most important parasite. however, m the
only one from which may be expected

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
A We'll Known Resident Writes Con-
cerning the Roads In Towns
nbout Burlington.

To the Editor of The Free Press:
Perhaps n few lines from one who en-
joys a good road. and appreciates II, and
who has had many ar otherwise pleasant
drive spoiled by miserable roads, will be
of interest to your readers.
/ sometimes wonder If our people realize
how Burlington is surrounded by poor
roads. There is not one good road leading
out Of our beautiful city.
TO begin with, we do not have to 20
outside OF the city to get a miserable,
muddy road. North venue is In very poor
condition. worse than it has been for
years. And after crossing the bridge and
the muddy river bottom, the roads are
very sandy.
! was pleased the other day. to find the
improved condition of the road from Wi
nooski north by Colchester, and out
toward Sandbar bridge. The bulk of this
drive has been greatly improved over
what 1t was a year or two ago.
The road through Winooski is execrable,
and Winooski should be ashamed Of the
condition of the road leading toward the
Fort. The Fort roads We all know are
good. From the Fort to Essex Junction,
the road has been improved, but there is
still room for considerable further i'm
provement. The road from Essex juno
ton to Essex Center is a great improve
ment over those this side.
