Mott stood around the plate
awhile and then leaned over and
slammed the bali out into right

get another in the ninth to en-
courage them. There was no dan
ger and even Dode Brinker, put
in to bat for Paddock, failed to
inspire the Canadians with hope
enough to win.
1t was a great game on the part
of Tacoma and the crowd voted
that Mott is the best first paseman

to hit the ball occasionally does
not detract any from his availa-

Rutland, April 25.-Robert Eddy,
who was convicted of manslaughter
in Rutland county court March II,
last, and sentenced week later to
serve not less than Is nor more than
20 years at states prison was taken
from the House of Correction to

made to keep the transfer a secret
and nothing was known of it until
late Friday.
Eddy was sent to jail in October
to serve a year and SO days for fur

and when he received the heavier
sentence there was considerable dis
cussion as to whether the manslaugh-
ter sentence commenced at once or
after he finished the minor sentence.
Gov G. H. Prouty has settled this
question by giving Eddy an uncon-

Governor Prouty Sets Aside May 6
for Tree Planting

Newport, April 22.-Gov. George II.
Prouty has issued his Arbor day pro-

tree-planting day. The governors
proclamation is as follows:
In the early days of our state, one
of the most valuable of our natural
resources was our great forest area.
The tall pines, the fragrant spruce,
the beautiful maple and the stately
birch all combined to form covering
for our hills and valleys that was of
great value, not only as a commercial
product, but one that greatly assisted
in conserving the waters, causing
more even distribution throughout
the season and preventing floods and
drouths For various reasons large
portion of the most valuable of these
forests have been cut off and the
hills that were once the admiration of
all who overlooked upon them are
now showing scars where the woods

shape of a tree and black patches,
caused by fires, that in most cases
might have been prevented stand
out as blots OF our otherwise beauti-
full landscape.
I'VE of this generation are not to
be censured for what has been done
in the past, but must bear the res
possibility for the present as well as
for the training which the children
! shall have in the future. The con
serving of our forests and the plant
ing of trees on the hillsides and bar
rem places throughout the state are
subjects of vital importance and
should be studied in a serious and
comprehensive way
Let us teach the children to love

matters essential to the carrying on
OF forestry. That the officers of the
