A THREE-YEAR SENTENCE,

Louis Swartz, who was formerly

pezzlement and desertion, has been
round guilty by the court and SEN

TWO men charged with an assault with
intent to rob stood before Judge Mower

Il hearing Tho men were Joseph Bo-
clair and Ioratio Elwell, both of MIL
ton, and the man they are alleged to have
assaulted is \. t. Tyron, freight agent

mon came out of Daley's place and one
OF them accosted him He was later
struck on the head by Elwell but when
he rushed at the two men they ran away.
Mr.. Tyron did not know whether Elwell

CONTROLLING NATURE.

Among the interesting steps in modern
progress has been the control and de-
velopmcnt Of plant life. People now living
"a n remember when the number of edible
fruits and Vegetables was far less than
at present, and even those that could
be grown were vastly inferior to what We
now have. For example, our parents knew
nothing of the tomato except as a curl
Gus ornament in the garden. Sweet corn
was hardly better than the coinmonest
field sorts. All oranges had seeds. Celery
was little known and poor in quality. In
the flower bed the magnificent pansy has
replaced the insignificant hearts case
from which it was developed, and the
sweet pea traces it's origin TO the COM
mon garden vegetable Tho practical re-
suits are accomplished by men operating
largely for love OF the work like Luther
Burbank in California and Eckford in
England as well as by the great seed
merchants, D. NJ. Ferry & Co, of Detroit,
Mich. who are not only eternally viglant
to hold what ground has been gained, but
have a corps OF trained specialists backed
by ample means to conduct new expert
ments. The results of their experience can
be found in their 1906 Seed Annual, which
they will send free to all applicants

NO ICE FAMINE.
LIKE Champlain Frozen over and Har-
vest VIII Begin soon.

Burlinstonians will not suffer from
an ice famine this year, for the broad
lake at its widest place, opposite this
city, closed over yesterday afterno Don.
The day was favorable one for that
purpose, being extremely cold with
scarcely any wind At noon Free
Press man walked over to the break
wastcr but no ice appeared in the
broad lake at that time. Early yestcr-
day morning tho Consumers Ice COM
pany stakcd off a large tract inside
tho brcakwater, whore they will make
a canal to transfer the ice to the un b
foreground railroad, Lawrence BARLEY
also staked off tract north of the
for storage purposes.
1t seems that the ice famine scare
this year was unwarranted. Last year
the broad lake closed on January 90
In 1890 tho lake closed over and broke
up twice before 1t finally froze on
March :. The following year it closed
and broke up and thF froze on March
2. In the years 1925, 1St9 and 1850
the broad lake did not freeze. It will
thus be seen that the lake closed over
this season earlier than in many prev
ious seasons.
If the weather continues cold the
local ice dealers will begin work at
once. Everything is in readiness to
rush the work but it is thought that
hurry is not necessary as the ice will
probably continue solid until late in
March.
