San Jose Scale Still Here

AT the time of the first visits of O
Ia. Martin, state commissioner of agri
culture, and Prof. NJ. b. Cummings OF
| burlington, state nursery inspector, Il
| Brattleboro over n year ago when the
| San Jose scale was discovered in this
ana adjoining towns a proposition was
made by the former regarding the ex
pense of Graduating the pest, Mr.. Mar.
TIN agreeing to bear half the expense il
the other half were borne by the town,
The town officials, though evidently not
concerned over the ravages of the pest
offered to cooperate with the depart
ment of agriculture and did so in a small
way The last visit of Prof. Cummings,
about two weeks ago, shows a large
territory still badly infested. In several
instances the pest was found on premises
where the state commissioner, nursery
inspector and selectmen had made a per.
sonal inspection and pointed ont to the
owners what ought to be done immedi.
ately, with the result that the aggressive
work of last year is practically multi.
fed.
The state department of agriculture
is willing to appropriate money to stamp
out this pest but asks cooperation upon
the part of town officials If ANYTHING
further is done here in the way of az.
gressive work. however. the depart.
ment feels that there should be greater
cooperation upon the part of the town
officials. Unless the infested areas are
given attention this fall and another
spring the pest will secure such a hold
as to endanger the apple orchards of
this part of Windham county.

If you suffer from backache; head

kidney secretions are irregular and un

kidneys are calling for help. Slight
symptoms of kidney trouble are but
fore-runners of more serious complaints
They should be given attention before
it is too late.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure kidney
trouble. They are recommended by

BY completely bewildering their OPP

ed the local high school team at Sax
tons River Saturday by score Of II
to 0 in q contest much closer than the
score would indicate. The local boys
were able 10 make first down several
times but allowed the winners TO work
forward passes and onside kicks for
long gains which paved the way for the
touchd0wns. The local boys were unable
TO hold their heavy opponents when
within striking distance except on two
occasions in the third period when they
held on their own 7.yard line.
The game opened by Brattleboro kick.
ing TO V, A, and the oval exchanged
sides ON downs two or three times until
Nichols booted a long onside kick which
was recovered by the Academy on the
losers three.yard line. The second
touchdown came in the second period
on another onside kick recovered Just
behind Brattleboro's goal line. The
last touchdown was made ON "tac kle
around play by Morse after the oval
had been taken TO the three. yard line
mostly on open work. The local boys
carried the ball within striking distance

ton is more than a sufficient and
satisfactory state house should
cost. Some states have capitol
buildings fully adequate to their
requirements costing only a
third as much as it is proposed
to spend on the Missouri build
ing. We don t believe our state
house should be the monument
of graft as are those of Pennsyl~
vania and New York. Private
enterprises can build a pretty
fine and large building for one
million and equip it as handsome
ly as necessary on third of that
sum. 1t should not be overlook
ed that after we have voted the
three and half million we will
have to add the interest charge
on the bonds. which would pile
something like q million or two
more to the actual cost of the
work. One of the easiest things
in the world is to levy taxes. but

payment.

UNCLE HIRAM TO HIS NEPHEW
to Realize In His Relations
Win Men.

"Stevey. my boy" said Uncle Hiram
to his hopeful young nephew. you
may not be old enough yet fully to un-
derstand or at least fully to realize
what am about to say to you, but Id
better say 1t now for l might forget
to say 1t later, and some day, and per-
maps to your advantage, you will re-
call it. the thing l would now say to
you being this:
Other people think of US what we
think of them.
DO you get that through your nod
die? Other people think of us what
we think of them.
This 1s highly important, because
1t applies to our inmost unuttered
thoughts. If we think i'll of a man he
will think i'll of us. So you want to
think well of men.
Our thoughts of other people ap-
pear to form sort of circuit return
ing from them to u.s. They go out
from US to the fellow we are thinking
Of who seems to relay them back to
us. Whatever our feelings toward him
may be, good or bad, he takes them
in, reinforees them with strength
from his own batteries and sends
them back to us, with feeling of
friendliness If that was our instructive
feeling toward him, while if Cur feel
ing was one of antagonism that is the
feeling that he relays back to us.
Don't think i'll of men Stenhpn.
think we'll Of them, as you may well
do; there is more good in men than
bad. Cultivate friendly relations and
friendly feelings, and be sure that as
you feel toward men so will they feel
toward you"

Webster defines anarchy as "a
state Of laWlessneSs," in other
words, under this political con-
ditiOn. each man is law unto him
self and responsible in no way to
organized society for his acts or
conduct. The term is frequent
ly flung at those who want the
recall applied to the courts by
those whom the prostitution of
Justice favOrs, either because of
class distinctions or through
political favOritiSm. Nowhere in
in our social organization do we
see the law disregarded more
than by the very rich, they as
sumo the true principle Of anar-
chy in the conduct Of their af-
fairs. each is law unto himself
and responsible to none. Let
the people apply to the courts on
the theory that the law knows no
distinction of person, and the
courts in these instances almost
invariably rule to the effect that
the law must observe distinction
of person when the person com
mands wealth and position. The
courts uphold the anarchy of the
rich. The common people will
not need many more examples
of this partiality to impell them

The SeVenteen-Year Locust.

In some sections of our terri
tory the seventeenyear locust
will be in evidence this year.
They will come along in May or
June. The first thing you will
notice will be a peculiar, monoto-
nous noise, which in our boyhood
we understood to mean Phar
aoh. " There will be Il w" on
the wing. which we understood
to stand for war. They will be
more common in old orchards
and in the timber along the
streams. The day after they
appear the ground will be pune
tured with holes. These are the
holes through which the lOcusts
have come up. They will climb
up on q stalk in the sunlight,
shed their last skin. which will
be left sticking to the stalk.
They will stretch their wings and
commence singing Pharaoh. -
Sometimes the unexpected ap-
pearance of these lOcusts, as they
are called although they are not
l0cuStS at all-createS alarm.
There is no occasion for alarm.
The chickens and turkeys and
geese will have feast Of fat
things, BY and by they will lay
their eggs on the small twigs of
orchard and forest trees. In
about Il month they will disap-
pear. and you will hear no more
of them for another seventeen
years in the northern part of the
country or thirteen years in the
south.
This cicada, for such it is, is a
most interesting little beast.
| The tWigs on which the eggs are
laid will die, and then fall to the
ground. They will hatch out
and spend all the rest of their
lives underground, to appear
again in seventeen or thirteen
years, depending on the locality.
These cicada are interesting
mainly as a nature study. Their
coming does not mean war. They
have nothing to do with the To-
Gusts which made the old Egypt
| ian king uncomfortable for
awhile. for these last are what
we now know as the Rocky
Mountain locust.
What the farmers have to fear
are the ordinary grasshoppers,
closely akin to the Rocky Noun
tain locust, of which there are
several varieties, but which sell
dom become d serious pest eX-
cept in the drier sections of the
! country. Wallace'S Farmer.
