lively few flros In the estimation OF
Mr.. Hawes who attributes the Few ex-
tensive forest fires we have had TO
carlossness OF choppers, hunters ana
brush burners.
1t Is shown that instead OF sharing
the expense OF fighting fires with the
towns the State pays the balance when
the cost exceeds Ave per cent. This
helps the uninhabited towns that are
least able to fght the fiery element.
1t appears that in 1908 the state aided
twenty towns in this way at an ex-
pense Of about $4,000.
state Forester Halves believes that
the main thing necessary for the pro-
lection OF our wooded districts Is the
enforcement Of the law for the pro-
lection Of forests from fires. Citizens
can cooperate with the state fores-
ter in this direction to good advan-
taEa particularly by calling his atten-
ton 20 the setting Of forest fires
For tho present forestry work in
Vermont must be largely educational
and Mr.. Halves points out the dlrec-
lions in which this can be best ac-
complished. AS indicative Of the in
terest already generated in this sub
ject in Vermont Mr.. IIawcs shows
that whereas he did not receive a sin
gle invitation to deliver n public nd
dress on forestry matters in Connect
icut, after coming to Vermont he de
livered no less than eighteen addresses
before oranges. womcns clubs. teach
other organizations interested In this
work.
In addition to addresses OF this
character the State forester believes
that a good way to awaken interest in
forestry Is to enlist the public schools
The department supplied last spring
a number Of arbor day packages with
detailed instructions for use in bed
OF soil eight feet by two in the school
yard. These packages contained seed
lings OF various ages Of white red and
Scotch pine and Norway spruce and
small papers OF white pine and locust
seed.
The department also has exhibits at
the different agricultural fairs in Yer
mont, and attendants are kept busy
from morning until night explaining
the exhibits and answering questions
In relation to the forestry service.
The most effective way Of arousina
permanent interest in the forestry
movement Is to induce farmers and
others to set out certain number Of
seedlings. With this end in view the
State under authority of the Legisla
turs furnishes forestry seedlings to
land owners at cost price and a goodly
number Of citizens have taken advan-
tage Of this offer. The past spring
eiS dOphi tIileHt sent out 10 land own
ers no less than 100000 trees. mostly
white pine These went to every
county In the state and to over seven
ty people. II is unnecessary 10 saw
that the nurseries thus started will
serve az an excellent object lesson i'm
different parts of the State
The appropriation for the forestry
department 10 now $500. and Mr.
Halves hopes soon to acquire some
lands that can be used for educational
purposes in connection with forestry
work. Mr. Halves has certainly been
doing a grand work for Vermont. and
his service is appreciated even by
those who have hitherto taken little
interest in forestry.

WAR on DISEASJ;.

vermont mas instituted a vigorous
crusade against tuberculosis and has
adopted variety of measures calcu-
iated TO promote sanitation and
health. Our state health authorities
nave also Instituted an educational
system so that tho people In all parts
OF the state can become Informed in
rotation to preventable diseases, and
much benefit will unquestionably be
derived from the object lessons afford
ed by the health schools and exhibit
lions which are being held in differ
ont parts Of Vermont.
1t viii be helpful in this connection
TO note what our neighbors are doing
and in this connection we turn with
New York tho great fight now being
wagod against tuberculosis Is to be
rapidly extended to other diseases.

REASONS
FOR NO EXTRA SESSION

Trenton, July 7:-Governor Fort
yesterday issued a statement in
which he declined to call an extra
session of the legislature to deal
with the increase of Communication
rates by the railroads.
81 think, with Others" he says,
"that the railroads acted hastily.
Still, all must concede they acted
within their legal rights If 1t is
shown that the increase is reasona-
BILE and Just"
Speaking of the purely local in
creases, the governor declared that
he has urged repeatedly upon the
legislature the wisdom of giving the
Railroad Commission the power of
deciding as to the Justice of the
raises, and each time the legislature
has paid no attention to him. 1t
would be foolish to argue that the
republican majority would be any
more willing to help at a special SEES
sion than they would at a regular
session, he commended.

known origin Tuesday destroyed the
out-buildings and contents on the
Monmouth Dairy Farm, near Farm
ingdale, owned and operated by j. G.

|AUTOIST SAYS He WAS
ROBBED NEAR FREEHOLD

Plainield, July 7:-Hyman AdeI-
berg, a local business man., is home
from Atlantic City, by automobile,
after several days absence with his
wife and party of friends, and re-
ports an experience on the road in
which he was almost robbed of a
$30G diamond pin.
The party reached Freehold OF the
return trip, and when stopping to
ask the shortest way to take, they
saw a man who seemed willing to
give the information desired. The
fellow engaged Mr.. Adelberg's at
tention by pointing with one hand to
the road, while with the other he
lifted the diamond pin from Mr..
Adelberg's tie.
Adolph Cohen, who sat on the
rear seat, saw the operation just in
time, having taken notice of the fell
lows hand reaching in the direction
of Mr.. Adelberg's shirt front. Jump
ing from the car, Mr.. Cohen knocked
the fellow down, then called out to
Mr.. Adelberg that the fellow had his
diamond. Both jumped on the man
and took the diamond away, then
pummeled him.
When the would-be thief was re-
leased he ran away.
