Forest ote s.

Squirrels collect much of the seed
used for planting by the forest service.
A growing scarcity of willow, gen.
orally used for wooden shoes in Europe,
is leading to an adoption of poplar.
Torrey pine, distinct California
species, has been found in only two
isolated localities in the southern part
of the state.
One hundred acres of the Florida
national forest will be sown to maritime
pine seed this fall. Maritime pine is the
source of the French turpentine in
dustry,
San Francisco recently received it's
first cargo of lumber from the Tongass
national forest, Alaska. The shipment
consisted of 10000 feet of Sitka
spruce.
Three native species of larch furnish
timber in the United States. One grows
in New England and the lake States.
another in the Pacific northwest, and
the third in the high mountains of the
northern Rockies. European larch has
been planted extensively in the prairie
states.

For the third time in less than five
years wireless telegraphy has saved
the lives of hundreds of people at sea.
In the case of the steamer Volturno
it is improbable that any of the pas
sengers or crew would be alive today
but for the aid asked by the wireless
operator and quickly given by many
ships. The sea was so rough that no
small boat could have kept afoat long.
AS it was, 59l of the passengers and
crew were saved.
Seven hundred and five persons who
had found places in the lifeboats when
the Titanic was sinking were rescued
by the steamers that came in answer
to the wireless call, and on January %.
1909, when the Republic sunk, following
a collision with the Florida off Nam
tucket lightship, only eight lives were
lost, so prompt was the response to the
appeal for aid. The world owes a
heavy debt to wireless, and this debt
will grow with the passing of the years.

When the President of the United
States at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
touched an electric button in Wash
ington the explosion of forty tons of
dynamite on the isthmus of Panama,
2O00 miles away, demolished the Gam
boa dixie and the water of Gatun Lake
rushed into the Culebra cut. The we'd
ding of tn, oceans was consummated
and the dream of four centuries full
filled.
To say that the waters of the Allan
tic and Pacific mingle is a fanciful
figure of speech, for a part of the
Panama canal is 100 feet higher than
either sea level, and the canal fed from
the artificial Gatun Lake, is largely a
fresh water affair.
But now it is a complete waterway
from ocean to ocean, revolutionizing the
commerce of the world and giving the
United States a continuous coast line
from the Bay of Fundy to the Strait of
Juan de Fuca. The touch of President
Wilson'S finger made ages of history in
one second. Rutland News.

Few freight trains have distinctive
names, such as most of the express
trains bear, but the Flying Fisher
man" is an exception, says the Youth s
Companion. 1t is the train that runs
every night from Boston to New York,
to carry the sea food that the people of
New York are to eat the next day.
The greater part of the fish and she'll
fish, of whatsoever kind, that New
York consumes comes from T Wharf in
Boston; and since fish is, next to fruit,
the most pershable kind of freight, the
railroad company plans to lose no time
between the two cities. The train
covers the 234 miles in eight hours and
five minutes, including four stops, an
average of about thirty miles an hour
The running time for most of the pas
senger trains is six hours. The Flying
Fisherman" leaves the South Station
at 5;55 p. M, and often carries as many
as fifteen cars loaded with fish-a total
of 300 tons or more. There is now build
ing in South Boston a 1200-foot concrete
wharf, to take the place of the famous
old T Wharf as the headquarters of the
fishing business. When it is completed,
the shipping of fish to New York and
the West can be handled even more
promptly, for the trains can run out on
the wharf alongside the fishing boats

escaping disasterous forest fires owing
to the vigilance of fire wardens. The
danger is still great until heavy soak

fire. When discovered Immediately
notify Central by telephone so she

Communication From an Old
Resident

1t is one week today since we were in
your little village and during that time
there is no one thing in connection with
our very pleasant visit to Vermont that
we refer to so often as to beautiful
East Middlebury. To US it seems per-
feet little gem set at the foot of the
mountain. To US it seemed so quiet,
so orderly, so unpretending and restful.
There is no evidence of great wealth or
of poverty. 1t looks as though your
people were getting the best things out
of life as they go along. 1t looks as
though you were all striving to make
your homes as comfortable and home
like as possible. You all seem deter
mined to get the good out of life as the
days come to you and not wait until you
are too old to enjoy, or have passed to
the great beyond. 1t is these little
things that in the aggregate make for
our happiness here. | always thought
East Middlebury was a good place to be
born in and now / am sure that it is an
admirable place in which to spend ones
declining years. Were conditions favor
able | know of no place where | would
more gladly settle down for the sun set
of life than your charming village.
wish that | might personally thank
those who started the movement for
civic betterment among you as well as
those who have borne the burdens and
laid the plans for the many good things
that are so evident in your community.
During July travelled through eight of
the New England and Middle States and
nowhere did see a hamlet that would
compare with East Middlebury. My
wife is as much in love with the place
as am. May you all live long and
prosper is the sincere wish Ct an old
East Middiebury boy.

Mr.. Stocks Writes Card
In Defense Of Red Bone

Lee County Journal:
Ii you will allow the space in your

dertaking to write line to be printedin

! for somebody to speak word for the
! rights Of Red Bone for it is Red Bone
everywhere you turn. But is it Red
Bone alone?
| In an issue ofThe Albany Herald there
were something concerning Mr.. Hauga-
book 'sconYiction, two Of the grand jurors
being indicted and of Leesburg being a
dry town; all of which is abort true. But
you notice Mr.. Haugabook was Of Red
Bone and it is rumored that both grand
Jurors were Of Red Bone which there s
no doubt it is said thatthey we're indicted
for selling whisky. That may be fact.
The writer of this article which have
just spoken of may not intended to, but
Red Bone. No doubt Red Bone need
something Of that kind. But what am
after Is to get each district co hoist the
cover as Red Bone has done.
A man asked me in E.eesburg last week,
"Why didn't we get together like Lees
burg did?' l told him things would not
appear SO "wet' if we did.
| am afraid if things would happen
somewhere else it would be something
more than Red Bone. Now that is why
Red Bone did appear so wet, because
everything was exposed. | will ask every
citizen to look about him and had things
been covered up court week and then
answer why is Red Bone so bad
Ask anybody who attended court did
they see any whisky bottles lying around
That showed that whisky was being sold
during court week and then ask yourself
in any place wet" besides Rcd Bone.

Commencement Exercises
We're Most Successful

Commencement exercises at the
Leesburg High School were most
enjoyable and successful in every
particular. Large crowds attended
each feature Of the exercises, making
them widely appreciated among the
patrons of the school.
Beginning with the commences
ment sermon, which was preached
by Rev. G. E. Russer, Of the facul-
lty OF Wesleyan Female College, Of
Macon. the remaining exercises
were also greatly enjoyed. The final
exercises on Tuesday and Wednes-
day, on which latter day the literary
address was delivered by Rev. Chas.
Lame, Of Macon, were Of equal in
tcrest to the public and Of far more
interest to the pupils themselves.
The school year has been sue
cessfu+ one, and the Leesburg school
is low probably in the most -four
ishing condition it has known in re-
cent years. Professor Flowers has
done good work as a teacher, as
have the assistants who Lave been
associated with the school. Profcs-
sor Flowers, it is understood, has
not sought reelection as principal
Of the school. Negotiations are now
being made, it is said, for sue
ccssor to Professor Flowers, and it
will be the purpose Of the board Of
education to secure the most able
and thorough principal available.
