FLOWERS ROR LITTLE ONES
The Boston Journal Plans a
Flower Day for Distributing
EIoMerS to Children

The Boston Journal has inaugurated a
novel feature for the little children of
Boston. 1t has established Flower Day,
when flowers may be brought to The
Journal representatives and will be dis.
tributed by them to the little ones of the
city. The Journal has secured the CO.
operation of the clergy of greater Boston,
the suburban newspapers, the florists and
the good people at large.
Never before has such an attractive af
fair of its kind been attempted. The call
for cooperation in the project has been
answered thousandfold more enthusiasts
tically than was ever dreamed of.
With Boston as the center, flowers
will be received on Monday morning be-
tween the hours and noon at designat.
ed places already established in every
city within radius of twenty miles
Receiving places will be in readiness
at the terminals of both the elevated
railway and the steam railroads.
Thousands upon thousands of blossoms
are needed for the work and it goes with
out saying that the children who seldom
see the gay, warm color of the garden
and the green of the fields will thrill and
marvel at the beauty and fragrance that
will pour into the stuffy and unclean
streets of the Boston slums on Monday.

Prisoner Taken Back to Windso

George Phillips, of Lincoln, on orders
from Gov. &. H. Prouty, was taken back
to the state prison at Windsor Friday
from Waterbury to serve the sentence
pronounced on him in Addison county
court, February term, for burglary in
Lincoln. After being sent to the state
prison following his conviction, Phillips
showed signs of having tuberculosis, it
was thought, and therefore he was sent
to the state hospital for the insane where
he could be placed in the tuberculosis
ward for treatment. This part of the
asylum is not so well guarded as the
rest, and June 8 Phillips escaped. lie
was captured June IS by Deputy Sher-
iff c. c. Graves and put back in the
asylum.
Further examination of the patient
fails to reveal any traces of tuberculosis.
His sentence was for not less than two
and not more than two and one-half
years and il is probable that he will now
be forced to serve the maximum SEN
tence.

SUMMER AND FALL SEEDING
AND TOP-DRESSING

Many farmers are finding it 30 their
advantage to seed down during the sum-
mer and fall claiming that by so doing
they are apt to get a much better "catch"
than they do when they follow the usual
practice and seed down in the spring
The same is true regarding top dressing
grass land Some of the most progress
sive farmers put on top-dressing immedi-
ately after haying, with perhaps small
application of nitrate of soda the follow
ing spring.
If you will send your name and p o.
address to Carroll S. Page, Hyde Park,
VT, he will send you free, postpaid, sew
eral formulas for mixing fertilizers
especially adapted to top dressing and fall
seeding, together with prices of ingre-
dents, full directions for mixing, etc.
These formulas have been approved by
the Vermont Experiment Station and
will be found thoroughly reliable.
