PUT THE SKIDS UNDER
THE THIRD PARTY PLAN
Senator Cummins and Other Former
Roosevelt Men Have Turned
Against the. Colonel.

Progressive republicans in the
senate and house-members hereto
fore ardent Roosevelt followers
are getting ready TO put the skids
under the third-party plant" the
correspondent of the World learned
today.
the Bull Moosers" back into the
republican ranks is being done by
such men as Senator'S .Cummins.
Bourne, Borah, Brown, Bristow,
Works and Gronna and Representa-
tives Victor Murdoch. Cooper, Davis,
Kendall, Hougen, Prouty. Lenroot,
! Hayes and Woods.
It is not for love Of Taft that
these men are anxious to prevent
Colonel Roosevelt from forming a
new party. 1t is self-preservation.
Most of them assert to their friends
f., that their excuse for not "bolting''
is thai they hope to bring reform
within the party"
Colonel Roosevelt has notice from
these members that they will not
join him in any movement which
takes them beyond the pale of the
party with which they have been af-
fliated. They have informed him
also that if he insists on carrying
out his plans for a complete sever
ance Of old ties they will drop him.
Some Of these men said today
they saw a ray of hope in the action
of the former president in yielding
to Boss Finn Of Pennsylvania, and
accepting the plan of running the
same electors on Taft and Roosevelt
tickets in that state, the electors en-
tering into a binding agreement to
support in the electoral college the
candidate receiving the majority
vote.
This is the plan the insurgent
members of congress want Colonel
Roosevelt to adopt in their states.
They say if he does not do this they
will either run on the regular re-
| publican ticket or Independently in
seeking reelection, and will either
refrain from voting or vote the
democratic ticket for president.
Senator Cummins said that he
would not support Colonel Roosevelt
at all. Every Cummins man in both
houses of congress says he is going
to stick to Mr.. Cummins. Some say
they are considering Wilon.
Senator Bourne said he had not
definitely decided what he was going
to do. Senator Bristow said that he
was not going to desert the republi-
can party for any one.
All say they will not work their
heads off for Taft. Senators Bris-
tow, La Toilette and Clapp will not
vote for president Taft. Senator
Bourne is undecided how he will
vote. Senators Borah and Brown
are going to support the president.
Senators PoindeXter and Clapp are
ready to the republican
faith and join the Bull Moose"
party. In their cloak room confer
ences these insurgents admit that
their position is not a very healthy
one from a political standpoint. All
are certain that the democrats will
make inroads on their majorities.-

southeast corner of Halifax, 40 acres en-

orchard of over 600 apple trees, the larg-

years ago. The orchard had been sadly
neglected. The ground had not been
fortified, the trees had not been pruned
or sprayed. The first year Mr.. Amidon
harvested 800 barrels of marketable fruit.
He went to work to improve the orchard,
following well-establshed scientific
plans. He has now brought about a com
plete change in the condition of the old
trees, and while this improvement has
been going on he has been building fof
the future by setting out young trees.
He now has 900 young trees, some of
which are beginning to bear, and he
plans to continue to buy nursery stock
until he has an orchard of 1000 or more
trees. His harvest this year was almost

Of the year for one continuous round

MUNICIPAL FOREST GROWING.

1t is rather novel experiment for q
municipality to 60 into the forestry bust
ness on large scale as Montpelier pro
poses to do by planting seedlings or
thirty acres of land about Berlin pond
but it is likely to turn out as a profit
able investment, given time. The initial
cost of the experiment, the land being
AT the municipalities disposal, is not
great and the care of the growing trees
will not impose any greater outlay, the
trees really taking care of themselves;
but the results in the reforested area
will be entirely out of proportion to
such combined expense, for timber is
valuable now and is bound to be more
valuable by the time these trees have
reached a sufficient size. Therefore.
Montpelier will realize good returns on
the experiment, and at the same time
it will be utilizing land which, other
wise, would lie idle or grow up to useless
accumulations of plant life. Moreover.
the example which the municipality is
setting may be of value in that it will
encourage the reforestation of other
tracts of land in the vicinity. Other
Vermont communities, which have idle
land, would find it good investment
to set out seedlings now and let nature
work for them in growing trees. Such
efforts would eounteraet in part the
devastation of the forests which is con-
stantly going on in Vermont.

sheep that a friend offered to SELF him
1T would make splendid Christmas
gift for Edna, he confided to his wife.
Their lambs would increase her bank
account at very little expense to MS, but
we simply cannot keep them while we
| live in the city
1T was too good an idea to give up
and after a while they found way out
Of their difficulty. The friend who had
the sheep for sale suggested that he care
| for them with his own flock, and that
remuneration for his services be made
in a portion of the wool from the sheep
and from the lambs they might have.
This arrangement has proved very sat
isfactory. Two or three times year
the father goes into the country to see
that all is well with the stock, that the
wool IA properly disposed Of, and that
the lambs are branded, and during the
last two years IL has been his custom tc
take his small daughter with him On
such trips. She always knows Just how
many sheep she has, approximately how
much they are worth; and when the
wool or any Of the sheep are sold the
money paid for them ii put into her own
small hand. IN company with her father
she deposits it I'll the bank herself. This
last year she las taken great deal Ell
interest in earning and adding to the
saving account started for her when she
was but few months old. She has her
allowance which she earns by perform
ing some light household duties and
overcoming most prominent faults, I'd
a large part Of this IL laid aside for the
bank account. Although she is bat
seven years old, she has Mt least two
