TRUSTEES TO AID
IN SAFE AND SANE
CELEBRATION
Representatives Of Civic League
at Special Meeting Last Night.
MAKE TENTATIVE PROGRAM
Exercises viii Continue During the
Entire Day on the Glorious
Fourth

The village trustees at special
meeting last evening appointed a
committee to cooperate with the Civ
ic League and Miss Lilly, the new
supervisor of recreation, in the cele-
bration of a safe and sane Fourth.
This movement is widespread
throughout the country and the
Fourth is coming to stand for the de-
velopment of true patriotism and
peaceful, quiet welfare instead of the
noise of warfare.
A program of events from 10 a. m,
to 10 pm. on July 4th will be offered
to interest persons of all ages, and it
is hoped that it will meet with the
hearty cooperation of our citizens.
Unity characterized the first lndepen-
dence day and unity should charac-
terize all its anniversaries. 1t is
therefore hoped that all will enter in
to the spirit of the day. Owing to
the short time remaining, the pro-
gram is simple and will cost little.
The following program is tentative
and its fulfillment will depend on the
cooperation of the citizens:

FOURTEEN MORE
VOTES ADDED TO
TAFT COLUMN
Committee Expects to Complete
Contest Cases Tday
So REMAIN TO BE SEATED
Taft Has Already Been Awarded 173
Out Of 196-RooseVelt Got
Thirteen

Chicago, June 14-Presldent Taft
today received six delegates at the
hands of the Republican national
committee in contests with forces OF
Colonel Roosevelt To that number
the committee added eight by the
settlement of local fights between
Taft rival delegations. Opposed to
the days gain of fourteen by Presi-
dent Taft, was another empty sheet
for Colonel Roosevelt.
Up to tonight the committees Ia
bors have resulted as follows:
Today's results: For Taft in con-
test with Observation-Disclosures, First
district, 2; Tennessee, Second dis
trict, 2, Ninth district, 2,
In contests between rival Taft del
egations-South Carolina, First dis
trict, 2; Tennessee, First district, 2;
Tenth district, 2; Alaska, 2.
Total contests decided, 1856 For
Taft, 173; for Roosevelt, Is. Remain
ing undecided, 6S.
The committee adjourned at o.
clock The sudden and early termi-
nation of the days proceedings re-
suited from the desire OF President
Tafts attorneys for more time TO
prepare the cases involving the thir-
ty contested delegates from Texas
An attempt to take up the Virginia
and Washington cases met similar OPP
position. Mr. McHarg, the Roose-
welt contest attorney. said his side
was prepared to present the Texas
cases, but would not argue the others.
By an arrangement to consolidate
the Virginia contests and to attempt
a consolidation of the Washington ca
SEES, it was made possible to present
the remaining contests tomorrow, it
is believed.
The remaining contests include
those of Texas, Virginia, Washington,
the District Of Columbia, Third dis
trist of North Carolina In the
Fourth North Carolina district both
delegations are understood to be for
Roosevelt
In Virginia the chief issue is
whether or not the conventions elect
ing Taft delegates were held in dis
tricts or buildings from which me-
groes were excluded. The Washing
ton contests center about the control
Of the Washington state convention.
The contested delegates in Texas
number 80, in Virginia 20, in Wash
ing ton IL, in the District of Column
bia 2, and in North Carolina 2.

Over $4,000 Apple, Pear, Plum
and Ounce Trees Set.
TREES PROVE TO BE THRIFTY
When Completed the Orchard viii
Include 300 Acres and 400 Acres
Have Been Already Set

over thirty thousand trees cover
ing a tract of land extending over
400 acres is the progress already
made on the orchard on the Il. II.
Everett estate. 1t is not only the
largest fruit orchard in Vermont, but
in the New England states, and If the
original plans are carried out, the
entire orchard will cover approx
mately 500 acres. The land already
set comprises all of the John w.
Griswold farm, with the exception Of
the timber land, and part of what is
known as the Carpenter Hill farms
The main orchard is set to apples,
the trees being set 25x25 feet with
the intention of cutting out every
other row so as to give them more
space as required, but this will not
be done until after they have borne
several crops. There are also a
quantity of pears and plums and
about 1000 ounces, these with the ex
ception of the pears being set closer,
the plums about 20x20 feet. The

the growth has been so rapid that
this spring 1t was found necessary TO
pick the buds to keep the little trees

that is being followed is called the
mulch system. The land is spaded
around the base of the trees and the
grass which is cut is packed around
the foot of the trees in such a way
as to conserve the moisture.

erintendent of Mr.. Everett's orchard
at Toboso, o. The Toboso orchard
now bearing fruit covers 200 acres,
