So anxious have been the great majoritv of depositors who have been gotten in touch with to sign that in some vii lages hereabouts practically every de- positor has signed the petitions.

WESTERLY.
Holiday Proves Quiet-CottreIl Teann's Game with Walters Tie-Boat Races at Watch Hill.

The Glorious Fourth was ushered in with the customary demonstration in
 Westerly and there was the usual banging of revolvers with blank car tridges, the loud explosion of modern firecrackers and here and there the sky was illumined by flying skyrock- cts. When the clock in the tower of the old town hall tolled in the day we celebrate the big crowd that had assembled in Dixon square let loose the god of noises and there was some-
 tnlng doing along that line until tho rising sun seemed to have an admon-
 lsh1ng effect upon those who put the kiposh on sleep the night before. There was a gradual diminution of the crowd
 ana when the customary hour for busi-
 ness arrived the village had assumed
 US usual orderly and quiet condition
 and thus it remained for the balancs
 or the day. The day proper assumed
 Sunday-lfke appearance and all was
 peace and quiet, a truly safe and
 sane Fourth of July.
 Every precaution was taken to nre-
 vent and be prepared for any fire
 emergency, for Chief Cottrell and his
 body of fire fighters were ready to
 respond to the first tap of the firm
 alarm bell and the horses were ready
 to make quick trip to the central
 nre house. where firemen were in wait ing all through the night There was nothing doing in that line The hre police were on patrol duty to prevent the careless use of fireworks, while the chief aided by the local police force had made the rounds of the business centre and caused the removal of ali lose and infiammable material days in advance. So far as known there was lack of the customary Fourth of July accidents and, aside from the noise of the night before, the day was about 1 the same as any other legal holiday in Westerly.
 The first boat race of the season to be sailed in the local waters off Watch 1 Hill was won Friday morning by Don- aid Battey of Watch Hill, who sailed the Pard, a Swampscott dory. There were about ten other entries in the race but Battey won with a big mar | gin. The race in the afternoon, which was a free for all race for boats url- | der 23 feet over all, was won by Rob- | bert Barrie. Jr.. of Philadelphia who sailed the Eugenia. Charles P Cot | trell, Jr.. of Westerly came in second ! in the Edytha. George Clark of Wes- terly was in the lead until the last | lap of the race when the Sweet Marie 1 lost her deck halad block, which put
 her back. She finished in fourth place.

NEW PLANTS DISCOVERED IN
STUDY OF GRAZING LANDS.

In making a study Of grazing lands
on the national forests, lbs entirely
new species of plants have been dis
covered by the government experts. and
will be named and classified by the
bOtanists of the department Of agri.
culture.
Their discovery came about through
the collection Of some 1000 different
plant specimens, with notes as to their
habits of growth and forage value.
This work is part Of a comprehensive
plan to determine the grazing value of
every acre Of national forest land, in
which the capacity Of the soil to grow
certain forage crops is to be deter.
mined and-an effort made to decide for
which class Of stOek-sheep, cattle, OF
goats-the range Is best suited.
The men who have made the studies
have combined the qualities of prac.
tieal stoekmen and trained bOtanists
They divided the areas into such small
subdivisions that maps have been pre-,
pared which show exactly the kinds of
feed which grow on each acre, and the
time of year it is ready for grazing
The maps also show the stocks water
supply and indicate the kind of stock
best suited to the area.
The investigation also showed the
examiners many areas covered with
furnishing plants which apparently
should furnish excellent grazing, but
which were not of a character relished
by stock; these areas, therefore, had
little or no stoek-earTying capacity.
As a result of the study, the forest
service announces that it will be in a
position to perfect its system of graz.
ing management to bring about still
better conditions for both stock and
range.
