lie CLEMsoN-wINrHRop TRAIN
'r Instructions of the People -
Dates for Lectures.


Prof. ID. n. Barrow, OF Clemson
College, made the following an
nouncements relative to the plans
for the Clemson-Winthrop train that
Swlll tour the State this Summer:
Owing to circumstances over
which We had no control the date of
the starting of our train has been
somewhat delayed, and it is now
planned to get it under way about
the 5th of June
The people of this State should
understand that while this train is
planned and equipped by Winthrop
and Clemson colleges yet had it not
been for the hearty liberal cooper
alton of the railroads of the State
It's operation would not have been
possible. The three great systems
OF the State, the Southern, the Sea-
board Air Line and the Atlantic
Coast Line have from the very be-
ginning met the proposition in the
most cordi<l and liberal manner.
Not only are they furnishing the
equipment in the shape of cars for
this train, but they are also moving
that train entirely free OF charge |
think it but proper that this fact
should be known as an evidence OF
The interest that these roads are
taking in the welfare of the people
of the State.
Since -..st ice of this train
was given to the public another car
has been added thereto by Winthrop
College. This car will be filled
with an exhibit OF household con
venlen"es and should prove quite an
attraction and of educational value
1t has also been found possible to
add more stock to the equipment of
the live stock and so this feature
will be especially complete.
The visit of this train should be
of particular interest to the boys
of the various corn clubs of the
State, and it is expected that they
will turn out III force. therefore,
special work along the line of corn
judging and cultivation will be Civ
en- by Prof. Napier and the train
will also be accompanied by Prof. c.
Il. Hadden, who is now in charge of
the Boys Corn Club work in this
State, working under the Joint di-
rection Of Clemson College and the
United States demonstration work.
Miss Hyde, in charge OF the Win
throp cars, will have competent
corps of assistants and has outlined
an extremely interesting programme,
for ladies who visit the train.
1t is hoped that everyone will
realize that it will take the full day
TO get the maximum benefit from
this train and that they will make it
point to reach it early. One day
is all the lime that can be allowed
at a single point and we want to
urge all who can to be on hand
promptly so as to get the greatest
benefit out of the train possible.
Agricultural lectures and demon
strations will be given at the follow
ing points on the dates named

THE DANGER FROM GYPSY AND
BROWN TAIL MOTHS

The New England Homestead makes an
urgent plea for Congress to recognize the
national danger which exists from the
spread of the gypsy and brown tail moths
and come PROMPTLY to the aid of the New
England States in conining the invasion
of these pests to it's present limits At
the present time the gypsy moth invas
covers the whole of the eastern half OF
Massachusetts, a good sized section of
southwestern New Hampshire, and a
small corner adjoining in southwestern
Maine. The brown tails have covered a
band of territory in all these states con-
siderably wider than the gypsy invasion.
So far as known the moths have not
reached the Connecticut River valley in
Massachusetts, or appeared in Vermont,
though there is imminent danger thar
they may reach these sections at any
time either by their natural spread or by
being carried by automobiles or other
conveyance. The gypsy moth first ap-
peared in Medford, Mass, in 1862 but it
was not until 1889 that the state realized
that it had got to fight the pest in order
to save its trees, both deciduous and
evergreen, from destruction-and not its
trees only, but all other kinds of plant
life, garden crops included. In the next
two or three years $1,000, 900 was spent
and the pests were so nearly exterminated
that the state thought the battle was won
and stopped its work. Five years later it
discovered its error, and so rapid was the
spread of the pests that in 1905, in spite
of all the work of determination the in
tested area had increased from its origino1
"a towns and 359 square miles to 124
towns and 1924 square miles Up to the
present time s5.6OO.OOO has been spent in
Massa chusetts by the state, by munich
palities and by individuals in fighting the
moths. The Homestead holds that, as a
matter of national self preservation, Con-
gress ought at once to appropriate money |
enough to have the entire infested area |
In New England picketed so as to prevent |
the spread of the moths beyond the |
present infested territory. 1t is evident,
beyond argument, that, should the pests |
once reach the Berkshire hills in Massa-
chusetts and the wooded country of |
southern Vermont, it would then be only
4 step into the Adirondack forests, and,
this great territory once reached as a
breeding ground, there would then be no
nope or possibility of staying the invas-
on.

LIABILITIES REDUCED $4,000.

The Brattleboro selectmen are not
looking for bouquets on account of their
past years work, but they are entitled
to credit for what they have accom-
plished. They have reduced the liza
bilties over $4,000, which is the largest
reduction that has been made in any re-
cent year This is $1,000 more than is
given in the auditors report, a bond of
$1,000 which was due Jan. l, having been
paid since the selectmen turned their
accounts over to the auditors The bal
ance on hand is accordingly $3iS instead
of s13iS as stated in the report. This
balance and the unpaid taxes estimated
good, amounting to s400, will pay the out
standing bills within about $500. This
latter amount will have to be paid out
of the current years receipts. also $3.50
additional permanent road money if the
amount available from the state fund
the limit having been raised from $500
to $3.50, also $1,000 additional for winter
roads required by the new law $500
more for the care of the poor, which will
be needed to meet the coming years ex-
penses, and 800 more for street light
ing. The total of these items Is s3S50.
a AZ cent tax, as recommended by the
selectmen, would raise enough to pay
this additional expense. Last year As
cent tax was voted. The selectmen have
adopted the policy of making their ac-
count end Feb !, several days earlier
than heretofore, which is conven-
ience not only for themselves but also
Tor the town treasurer and the auditors.

AGAINST INCREASE OF FREIGHT
RATES.

The interstate commerce commission
announced Feb. 23 that 1t had decided
against the railroads in the proposed In
crease in freight rates. in both the east
ern and western cases. The carriers in
poth cases are required to cancel on or
before March 10 their advanced tariffs
and restore their old rates, which are the
ones now in effect. The proposed ad-
vances would have meant additional nv
ments approximately of $27, 900, 900 a wear
by shippers. The commission found that
the roads had failed entirely to prove the
necessity of the advance asked.
The commissioners show that during
the year past the railroads have in
creased their earnings over 1909 the
enormous sum of $4,000. .009. This is not
considered conclusive, but they argue in
connection that there has been no pro-
poruonate advance in wages and that
rates should not be increased until the
carriers have shown concluslvely that
they have exhausted every effort toward
economy In other words it falls upon
the railroads OF the country to show what
they can do in efficiency and economy
of operation. If 1t is proved that this
VIII not be enough to overcome the in
crease In operating expenses, new plea
for advancement may be heard
The opinion in the eastern case was
written by Commissioner Charles A.
Prouty OF Vermont and in the western
case by Commissioner Franklin X. Lane
There was sharp drop in the quotations
OF railroad stocks on the day following
the announcement Of the decisions.

Nurse Had Valuable Jewels of Patients
Who Died.

In the apartments of Miss Amelie NJ.
Leonard, pretty young nurse who is
now in the Charles street Jail in Boston,
the police found thousands of dollars
worth OF jewelry, fine laces, china and
bric-a- -brac. Articles valued at $4,000 have
been Identified as belonging to the late
Miss Mary j. Lockwood, who died while
being cared for by Miss Leonard. Other
things We're owned by Miss Mary l..
Packer, who died in Woodstock, Vt, in
July, 1903, while Miss Leonard was acting
as her paid companion. Miss Leonard is
said to have admitted the theft of the
Jewelry from Miss Lockwood, who was
an aged woman. The stolen articles were
cleverly concealed. The police are inves-
tgating Miss Leonard's record. They
have found that she worked in the Mary
Fletcher hospital in Burlington. the Nc
Gill hospital in Montreal and the Whid-
den hospital in Everett. Mass, but was
discharged from all OF them, never being
able to graduate as nurse. 1t is alleged
that she neglected patients in the hop

TIE ARMORY PROLECT-

Bratteboro, by prompt and generous
action in the town meeting next Tuesday,
Will have an opportunity of getting an
appropriate from the state of S12. 900
to be used in the construction of an
armory. Other towns have taken up the
subject with lively interest and if Brat
tleboro Is to keep at the head of the
procession action must be taken now
Some of the smaller towns will ask their
voters to appropriate $4,000. No town
will be considered for state aid that does
not contribute at least 90 per cent of the
cost of the site and buildings. In Brat
tleboro available sites centrally loca ted
are valued so highly that generous con-
tribution by the town will he necessary
in order to secure the state aid. 1t is
understood to be the intention of the
armory commissioners to locate the first
armory in the town where it is most need
ed, provided, of course, that the town has
met the necessary requirements There
is every reason to believe that Brattle-
boro would be given first consideration if
the necessary appropriation is made.
Brattleboro's needs are greater than that
of any other town, as we have here two
organizations, Company | and the First
Regiment band, both with totally made
quate quarters. The band is forced to
store its property in three different
places. Company is greatly handicapped
in It's drills, which are held in a small
hall broken by posts Under these con-
ditions it is difficult to hold the interest
of the men and keep the organizations
up to the degree of efficiency called for
today. An armory would greatly benefit
the military organizations and it would
give the town a large hall available for
public meetings, dancing and sports An
arrangement could proba bly, be made
whereby the drill hall could be used for
a gymnasium. The boys of the town
have little opportunity for recreation and
physical culture at the present time, and
the gymnasium would fill a need for the
lads IA to 20 years old which every parent
and everyone interested in young people
recognizes. Prompt, decisive and gener-
Gus action now will secure lasting bene-
fits for our military company, the band
and the boys who are being nodded for
the citizenship of the future.

Statistics are frequently Illuminating
and convincing. Figures in Massachu-
setts showed that in a single year S4 per
cent of all the crimes were chargeable
to the use of Intoxicating liquors. and
that more than one-half of the people in
the almhouses were brought there from
the same cause. The average number of
arrests in Massachusetts license cities
was more than double that in no-license
cities and the cost of supporting the poor
was $G75 per thousand in license cities
and 1878 per 1000 in no-license cities.
