OUTLOOK IS
PROMISING
For Strong Intercity Base
Ball Team
REPORT THE DIRECTORS
Ned ]. Roberts Succeeds r. M. Brown,
Resigned, and Donald w. Smith
Becomes the Vice
President.

That Barre and Montpelier will be
represented by a strong aggregation Of
ball players in the Northern league this
summer was the feeling at the meeting
OF the directors Of the Intcrcity Athletic
Association, which was held at Mont
pelier last evening. While the directors
40 not think IL wise to give out any
names at this time they express the
opinion that the men already practically
secured are fully as good ball players
as those who filed the same positions
on last summers champion team. 1t
has already been announced that Stan
kard, the popular second baseman, will
again wear tie Intercity uniform. Stan
kard at second and Manager Uniac in
his old position at short win make n
strong nucleus for fast infield. 1t is
understood that one other of the
Champions will come back here this
summer and that he will bring a crack
player with him.
The recruiting Of the team will be
considerably from the West, where the
Iocal managers have been extremely for
tunate in fhel asst two years in getting
extra valuable men. The team will re.
port about the middle Of June for the
opening on the 23rd. Manager Uniac is
now at Norwich university, coaching
the base ball team, and will therefore
be in close touch with the directors. He
expects to remain with the Norwich
team during the college season.
But while the prospects for signing
fast team are good the financial out
look of the management is rather cloud
ed. They need money. AT the meet
ing last night various plans were dis
cussed. Ii has been decided TO sell the
remaining stock OF the association, a
considerable number OF shares not hay-
ing been subscribed to during the last
two seasons. Some of the stockhold-
ers have already signifed their intention
to take additional stock.
Director Frank Af. Brown Of this city,
being out OF the city, found il necessary
to resign from the board, and the resig-
nation was accepted last night. Ned ].
Roberts OF Barre was chosen 10 succeed
him and he has accepted the position.
To fiiI the vacancy in the Office of vice.
president, oceasioned by the resignation
Of Mr.. Brown, the directors elected Dom
alb W. Smith of this city.
The schedule for the Northern league,
which was left in the hands of John
Taylor OF Burlington, viii be announced
soon.

Zoroasfrfan Rites

Zoroaster enjoned purity of body as
well as OF soul, and the Avesta pre-
scribes very elaborate ablutions and
Illustrations to remove any defilement
The greatest pollution Is that which
arises from contact with anything
dead, rs death Is the creation of Ahri-
man and his greatest triumph over the
power of Ormazd. The code of the
Vendidad assigns the mine nights alb
luton" for the publication of persons
so polluted. 1t consists in series of
sprinkllngs with holy water and other
liquid, accompanied by wearisome
amount of ceremonial detail, to exercise
the spirit Of deflement. The Greek
writer Lucian In one Of his humorous
dialogues seems to ridicule this purifi-
catory rite when he says that the Magi
in nine nights cleansed Pythagoras of
all his sins In life.-A. v. Williams
Jackson I'm Century.

Surnrisinx Knowledge.

A certain English baronet who had
dense and absolute ignorance of
books and past events took a notion
to be presented to his king, George III.
The baronet lived near a spot where
one of the most celebrated battles had
been fought during the wars of the
roses, but of that fsct he had never
CHANGED to hear. His mind was set
upon more tangible things. He had no
use for information which was not up
to date. When he was presented to
his sovereign, the king, who had looked
him up and was prepared with the
right thing to say, remarked gracious
ly, "You come from the scene of a
very celebrated battle, l understand,
Sir William?
"Well, your majesty" was the an
swer, 81 did have round or two with
the blacksmith, but I'm very much
surprised that your majesty should
have heard OF It."

LARGE ORANGES.
Opinion Of Secretary of New Hamp-
shire State Grange on the Subject.

Opinion of Secretary of New Hamp-
shire State Grange on the Subject.
The secretary Of the New Hampshire
state grange makes some sensible re-
marks on the rivalry In increasing
membership. He has In mind the two
largest oranges In the world, the VOL
colt of New York and the Houlton OF
Maine. The former had S74 members
on March i and the latter 1914 men,
bers. One bitter experience in men,
bership contests is all that the Granite
State Patrons desire. 1--WE prefer"
says he, "strong to large oranges, and
although Manchester, N. H., has more
Patrons than Wolcott or Houlton its
four oranges are accomplishing vastly
more in carrying out the mission of the
Order than one large one could posi-
bly, do, and six would accomplish more
than four"
We are inclined to agree with Secre-
tary Drake in this opinion. While
some oranges can conduct membership
contests with excellent result, such
things are not to be recommended with
out reserve. There is liability to get
persons INTO the grange In such con-
tests as will be of no credit to it, and
not only that, but introduce into 1t an
element Of disturbance that will prove
most detrimental in the end. We are
well aware that these contests have
been conducted successfully, but this
only when under the most conservative
management.

IN THE GRANITE STATE.
Legislation the Grange II Seeking
and What 1t Has Secured.

and what IL Has secured.
The grange in the state Of New
Hampshire is in very fourishing con-
dition. More names have been added
to the rolls during the last three months
than during the same length Of time
since the grange was organized in the
state
Among the laws that have been pass
ed by grange influence in the interests
Of the farmers are the grange school
law, so called, whereby seventy-twO
towns get state aid to help the children
In these towns to more equal school
privileges, and the good roads law,
whereby the state is to expend $125,'
cooper year for six years divided among
those towns that will appropriate like
amount to be expended under the direc-
ton Of a state engineer for permanent
roads. Some needed legislation that
the grange will take up at the next
session will be law for the better pro-
lection of the farmers crops from
game animals now protected by law.
Deer are in some sections of the state
very numerous and often do considera-
BILE damage to clover fields, especially
in the early spring, and to growing
crops during the summer months.
There are some other matters that will
also claim attention Of the next leg

HINTS FOR LECTURERS.
How Delaware Grange Discusses
Subjects That Come Before 1t.

How a Delaware Grange Discusses
Subjects That Come Before 1t.
We rather like this idea, taken from
an account of the methods employed
in Fruitland grange of Delaware:
The lecturer must arrange and has
charge Of all subjects, any member
being privileged to suggest any sub
ject he or she wishes discussed. After
subject Is announced for certain
meeting the lecturer appoints some one
to take charge of It and spbdivides 1t
so that the salient features will come
up for consideration. Then the men,
Der In charge appoints some other
member to open the discussion on these
subdivisions.
The subject for q recent meeting was
fertilizers. 1t was subdivided as fol.
lows and members appointed to open
the discussions: What are the elements
of q complete fertilizer? How shall
we arrive at the value or cost Of these
elements or of any brand of mixed fer
tilizers? What forms Of nitrogen should
we buy for our various uses, what
forms of phosphoric acid, and how
should they be used? What conduces
to acidity in our soils and how may
it be remedied? What forms of potash
are most desirable for orchards, what
forms are most desirable for general
use, and which is the better, home or
factory mixing of fertilizers, giving
formulas for various truck and vege-
table crops?
That demands about as near an OK"
haustive discussion of a subjedSSs one
often comes across in grange meetings.
