Springfeld'S Play Day May 81

Woodstock holds its third annual
athletic meet and play festival Fri
day, June 10, this year. Customar-
lily teams and competitors have en-
tered from all over the county, but
after many requests from the south
ern towns it has been decided to
hold a Southern Windsor County
Athletic Meet and Play Picnic at
Springfield on the Fair grounds all
day Friday, May 81.
The success of the S. H. S. track
team at, Woodstock last year has
aroused interest and enthusiasm not
only within the local schools but
among some of the men of the town
as well, and the question has arisen
as to whether Springfield, the larg-
est town in the county, is not in a
position to bold similar event of
it's own with like success. Surely
Springfield people believe in en-
couraging the play spirit among the
boys and girls, and even the older
people have not forgotten how to
play. 1t has all the advantages of
Woodstock fine grounds, good
track, athletic enthusiasm, and an
active town spirit, quick to see and
appreciate good idea and loyal to
carry it through to a successful cul-
mination. -Springfeld Reporter.

Another Candidate

Hon. James X. Batchelder, the
newest candidate for governor of
Vermont, falls into line on most of
the principal issue before the people
today. Like other candidates he
wants to encourage forestry, en-
courage better farming and encour-
age the development of Vermont's
water power; advocates trunk line
highways; favor reduction of court
expenses; favors maintaining and
increasing the permanent school
fund; and is in favor of general
corporation laws broad enough
to cover all cases where charters
should be granted, and the doing
away with special acts"
Candidate Batchelder favors all
the proposed amendments to the
constitution except one-he doesn't
think change from September to
November elections advisable. 1t Is
suggested that Candidate Batchel-
der has in mind, in objecting to
this proposed change, the occasion
ally bad condition of the highways
in November, and if so he supplies
a very powerful argument for better
roads in Vermont.

Hartland Nature Club


observed in Hartland by the schools
and by the town people generally in
cooperation with the Haftland
Nature club, the programs being
very interesting and well carried out.
The exercises were opened with sing
ing and prayer. Then followed a
talk to the children on Familiar
Plants and Birds of Our Woods" by
Miss Florence H. Sturtevant. Living
plant specimens were shown and
named and birds were identified
from Miss Sturtevant's whistled
notes. Two children from the Cen
tire school contributed song.
Supt. e. l.. Ingalls, announced
that the prizes for essays went to
Miss Charlotte Walker of the Circuit
school, and to Miss Ruth Macarthur
of the Hartland primary The
prizes were Matthews Field Book
of Wild Flowers" and Olive Thorne
Miller's First Book eff Birds" For
the six excellent exhibits of woody
Shrubs and Vines" no prize was
announced, since the committee had
difficulty in making choice. Miss
Penniman's primary school showed
an original idea in bird study.
Paper outlines of common birds
were colored and mounted on twigs
to represent grove of birds in many
attitudes, and the names were neatly
written on each form.
An especial treat for all present
was State Forester A. f. Halves
talk on Forestry" This was illus
trated by beautiful stereopticon
slides, which showed by contrast the
best methods of propagating and
cutting trees. Forester Halves was
enthusiastically aPplauded.
Mr.. Hurd, the county secretary OF
the Y. M. G. A., showed a fine series
of Photographic slides on recreative
games, with explanations and sug-
gestions which should be fruitful in
promoting physical and social health
in the schools. With the singing of
America" the exercises closed.
Saturday, May 7, was devoted by
the Hartland Nature club to field
day on Lull brook and to the indoor
program. On the brook Mr.. Rugg
found rare variety of Club moss
known to botanists as Lycopodium
complanatum, var. Wibbei Haberer.
Vice-President Graham presided
over the afternoon meeting and
brought out some interesting reports:
1t was voted that the Hartland Ma
ture club join with local members
of the Vermont Botanical club in
furnishing a complimentary supper
to be given the State club Tuesday,
July 5, at "The Highlands" and

violets, showing both herbarium
and fresh specimens. Mrs. F. A.
Durphey read an original paper on
"Some Insect Biographies" A Dem
ton mount of "Tent Caterpillar"
moths was one of several exhibits.
Miss Sturtevant gave literary
study of the Crowfoot family, and
this was carefully illustrated by
handmade drawings az well as by.
fresh plants. A valuable report of
early flowers found in Hartland was
contributed by Miss Frances Lobdell.
The June meeting will be held with
Miss May E. Rogers.

Beating the Postomce.

Here is a curious process by which
the French postoffice was beaten. A
wealthy merchant who refused to pay
an excess fee was sued by the postal
authorities and lost the suit. He re-
taliated by building shanty in a re-
mote district of the Hautes-Alpes,
about twenty miles from any postofice,
and installing therein a shepherd, in
whose name he subscribed to the daily
Petit Journal. According to the terms
of the postal monopoly in France, the
department is bound to provide daily
service wherever required, and it
would have been necessary to engage
a postman solely for the delivery Of
this newspaper, as no other house is
to be found within radius of about
eight miles The postofice, sooner
than embark on an expenditure OF
about $240 year, consented to forego
the 10 centimes G. cents) in dispute,
pay the defendants costs and compen-
safe the shepherd for the loss of his
daily paper.

The HindustanI Language.

Hindustani, which is understood ano
spoken nearly all over India, except In
Madras, where the servants speak
English, Is the best example known Of
artiicial-or pidgin- speech. It Is
really Urdu, shorn Of all grammatical
complications. All verbs are regular,
and practically all infections of noun
and pronoun, though in real Tor
"pukka") Urdu, the irregularities al
ways found in ancient languages ex-
list abundantly. Thus the white 'ssa-
hib'' has only to acquire sufficient
vocabulary and learn one conjugation
for all verbs and one declension for all
pronouns, and he Is equipped. Work
ing facility in speech can be gained
in week or two. and the leading An
o-Indian newspaper publishes lit
tie pocket book called How to Speak
Hindustani in q Month. : Whatever
faults may be found with Hindustani.
it is greatly to be preferred before the
jargon called petit Negro, which the
French have taught the natives to use
in Cochin China.
