I tion that Thompson had been seen al
 Matunuck and he was traced from
 there to Wakefield and to Narragansett
 Pier, where he was arrested. The interest Manifested in the Wes- terly District Nurse association is evil
 dence that the people fully realize that there is need of broadening the
 service. and that a hospital, or place
 where emergency cases could be prop erly treated, is very much needed in
 Westerly.

 sociation.
 When an employe of the Westerly
 Candy Kitchen opened store early Tuesday morning, he heard a noise in the workshop in the rear. Just as he entered the room he saw a small boy vanish through an opening in the side of the tbuildir,g and plunge q to the Pawcatuck river. The boy swan to the Rhode Island shore ?, | landed in the rear of the c. W. Willard store. The toy was Frederick Bowen, fatherless and motherless, aged 15. and resides with his grandfl Ter.
 Deputy Sheriff Casey took charge of the boy eecn after this incident and learned the facts in the case.

 Officer Casey kept the bov in custody all the morning, which probably had a lasting effect on the boy. and he was released on promise that he would never attempt to steal or do wrong again.
 There was report that the boy had been caught and thrown into the river through an open window. but this the Bowen boy denies. He says he cd nto the river but that the men threw ! stone and stick at him as he swan 'of the Rhode Island shore

The First Potatoes.

Sir Walter Raleigh, who shares with
Sir Francis Drake the honor of first
introducing the potato in England
lived at Brixton, England, near Eliza
beth's House. Formby. in Lancashire
also claims the honor of being the site
of the first culture of the potato in that
country. They are said to have been
grown there by a Formby man who
sailed with Sir Walter.
The earliest cultivation of the potato
in the British islands was probably at
Youghal, on the south coast of Ireland.
where this great navigator had an es
tate
1t has been generally accepted that
the potato was taken to Europe from
Virginia and that it was cultivated
there by the natives. Sir Joseph Banks
and De Condelle both lent the weight
of their authority to this view, but ii
has been ascertained that the Indians
Of Virginia, though they used number
Of tuberous roots. did not know our po
tato.
One of these was the plant sometimes
grown as an ornamental climber in our
gardens and called by botanists Apios
tuberosa. The Indians called the roots
potatoes, and the French Canadians
rev them as pommes de terre. and
n II potato, being a native of South
America, was scarcely likely to be
known to the Indians of Virginia.
Yet the potato was undoubtedly
introduced in England as part of the
cargo of one of Sir Richard Grenville's
ships and landed at Plymouth, and the
ship had gone direct from Virginia and
called nowhere on the way. On the
voyage home. however, it had encouns
tered and captured a Spanish ship from
Santo Domingo The potatoes were a
part of the cargo of the latter vessel

OIL LYMPIC GAMES.
Ancient Greek Women Rivaled Ath-
letic Girls of 1908.


The Greek maiden of 800 B. c. could
put to shame the American outdoor
girl of 1908. whom her admirers are
apt to acclaim as the latest triumph of
feminine progress, for the discovery
of the excellence of physical training
for girls was made not by the promot-
ers Of modern high schools, but by Il

Lycurgus, this Spartan lawgiver. ac
tually enforced by law strenuous
physical training for Spartan girls.
"Of that SEX" we are told, "Lycurgus
took all the care that was possible.
For an instance of it he ordered the
maidens to exercise themselves with
running, wrestling, throwing quoits
and casting darts" And we are as.
sured that certain features of the Spar
tan girls training, while observing true
modesty. "tended to render their con,
versation free and unreserved and to
beget in them desire of being vigor-
Gus and active and filed them with
courage and generous thoughts. Born
of such mothers, ii is no wonder that
on the highest hill in their capital city
of Sparta and near to the sanctuary of
Athena the Spartans honored a sue
cessful sportswoman, placing there q
statue of Euryleonis, woman ''who
won an Olympic victory with two

illustrious Princess Cynisca, "who was,

PRESERVATION or FORESTS.
The old Bay State Is Now Taking the


The Old Bay State Is Now Taking the
Initiative.
The preservation Of the forests is a
problem second to none in present i'm
portance and in its outlook toward the
future. Without trees our country
would be desert and the rapid dem
udation of our New England hills is
already beginning to have its effect
upon our streams and rivers and upon
our water supply. The invention Of
wood pulp paper and the rapid exten-
sion Of the industry throughout the
country. together with the increase of
newspaper circulation, have stimulated
the destruction of the forests to such
a degree that steps are already being
taken to preserve them before it is too
late.
Congress has attempted to take a
hand in the matter but so far with
little avail, and it now remains for the
individual states affected to see. what
they can do The first step would seem
to be the development of paper making
from some rapidly growing and an
nually reappearing substance, such as
cornstalS fiber, instead of from the
slowly rising tree which cannot be re
placed except after years of renewal
and growth.
AS was to be expected, Massachu
setts is taking the initiative. To the
governors of the other five New Eng
land states Governor Guild has sent
out request for conference, and it
will be held at the Algonquin club
in Boston on the 18th of September
The six governors will then confer and
deliberate over the best means to be
taken for the preservation of our for
ests, and it is probable that arrange
ments will be made for the calling of
New England business conference at
some time Immediately following the
presidential election. If it should be
held, says Governor Guild in his letter
it should come at that time sin order
that its work might not be confused
with the politics of the presidential
campaign" One Of the especial OBJ
iects of this meeting of the governor
