Prospects of Varsity race at
MIDI

Middlebury has never gone in for aqu-
attic sports, owing to the fact that she
has not the proper facilities; nor has sh e
become sufficiently well acquainted with
Mr.. Carnegie to acquire an artificial lake.
We are familiar with horse racing, foot
ball and base ball; but few of us can
even imagine the excitement of a boat
race, when the rival Fights sweep down
the lane of yachts and pleasure boats amid
the footing of horns, the booming of can
non, and the wild cheers of the collegians.
Months of preparation with all the
strenuousness of training have been EN-
ployed to make this twenty minutes the
extreme effort of every man. No out
siders, viewing the sun burned backs,
bending in unison, can realize the intense
strain under which each man is laboring.
If plans, upon which certain members
of the student body are working, can be-
carried out, then the friends and students
of the college, will have an opportunity
TO witnsss contest during Junior week =,
perhaps not quite like a Yale Harvard
race, but at least something new for
Middlebury.

a Procla m alton.

The custom of setting apart day in
each year to be known as Arbor Day, is
a wise and profitable one. for it has
served to bring to the attention of the
public, the importance of the great ques-
lions of forestry, which are so vital to
the welfare of our State.
1t should be the purpose of this day to
give instruction in these matters, and to
stimulate an interest in them to the end
that we may all better understand the
true value of our forests, the best meth
cd of planting trees for shade or the
identifying of our parks and private
grounds.
The indiscriminate cutting of our for
ests without any attempt at preserving
the smaller growth of our valuable trees,
is fast destroying the supply of lumber,
as well as diminishing our water re-
sources, and will soon create condition
which will be most unfortunate.
Our State has taken long step for
ward by securing the services of an ex-
pert forester. Let us follow his teach
ing and thus perserve rather than destroy
our forests.
This year,-being the three hundredth
anniversary of the discovery of Lake
Cbamplain by Samuel de Champlain, "a
celebration in commemoration of this
great historical event is to be held dur
ing the week beginning July fourth, and
all should join to make this week one
long to be remembered.
When Champlain first beheld our beau
tiful lake, its shores were covered with
dense forests, and he, being lover of ma
ture, speaks in his narrative of the mag
nificent pines which he saw.
What, therefore, can be more fitting,
than to plant trees in honor of this great
discoverer ?
The custom of observing Arbor Day
should be encouraged and perpetuated.
Therefore, ] designate Friday, May the
seventh, A. ID. 1909, as
CHANIPLAIN ARBOR DAY,
and recommend that on that day appro-
pirate exercises be held in our schools,
and that individuals, societies and schools
plant, at least. one tree, to be known as
Champlain Tree.

Easier Work for Rural Mail Men

Rural mail carriers, thrusting their
arms through wheel spokes, climbing
steep hills and crossing dangerous ravines
in order to collect the mails from the
boxes along their routes, often ioepardiz
ing their lives, is discountenanced in an
order which has been issued by the post
office department. 1t has been decreed
that rural letter boxes perched high on
the hillsides others almost on the
ground, and still others in similar in
accessible places, must be removed to
more convenient places. Postmasters
have been directed to take census of all
inaccessible rural mail boxes with view
to making the change.

tory of each veteran.

they thought they would go back home
and get their ponies They had to go
so for they would get tired walking.
They had not gone far when one of
the twins saw two turkeys but they
got away. They rode about five or six
miles when they saw flock of
wild turkeys.
Harry said he was going to tie his
pony to tree and Jack did the same.
They crept up behind some bushes and
took good aim every time and started
home with six turkeys. They We're go
ing to sell five of them to a grocer.

they had TO wait until they ate their
supper before they could sell the tur-
keys. They got a dollar and half
apiece for them, which brought them
seven dollars with which they bought
their father and mother a Christmas
present. Jack bought his mother a new
coat and a dozen handkerchiefs,

CELERY AND HOW 1T is CULTi
WAITED.

Celery is native of Europe but it
is now cultivated widely in our coun-
try. especially in Michigan, Ohio and
New York and also for winter use in
Florida and California.
SO much celery is grown about Kali
amaze, Mich. that it is someties CALI
ed the celery city,
The celery is raised there on the
rich lowlands about the town and sew
eral ycropsare produced in one year.
The seed for the first crop is sowIl in
hotbeds before the snow has disap-
peared and the plants are set out five
or six weeks later, being banked up
from time to time to keep the sun off
the stalks and thus preserve the white
color
Some Of the celery land is so low
and wet that wooden plates about as
big as a large geography book are
fastened to the shoes Of the horses to
help them from sinking in. while plow-
ing the rows The horse soon leans to
shift his feet side ways. so that he
does not step on his wooden shoes.
Similar shoes are used on blowing
mules, on some of our truck farms in

They stretch the elastic bonds of their
