TAX
RETARDED
Tariff Bill


washington, D. e., May THE in
come tax section Of the tariff bill so
retarded the progress of the measure
in the house that the democratic lead-
.ers expressed doubt of the bills pass
age before tomorrow. Chairman I'm
derWood sought, when the house re-
convened, to; speed UP the considera-
tion Of this section, but there were
scores of minority amendments, and
he found it difficult to fix any time for
closing the debate. Following the in
come tax were the administrative
features of the bill, with several
stumbling blocks in the way, notably
the provision giving a. 5 per cent diff
ferential on imports in American own
ed vessels. Should these features. be
reached before the night session, the
democrats plan to bring about an
agreement for a vote before adjourn
ment, probably about midnight.

Get After the Insect Pests.

Advance reports from brown-taiis'
indicate that these Industrious little dem
zens Of our fields and woods are eN-
pecting an extremely prosperous season.
The mild winter was favorable to their
preparation. Once or twice an unusual
liz mild spell of weather may have al
most induced them to begin too early,
but they realized in time that It was
what the Persian poets call the faise
dawn. and they were wary. Even II
they had put out their feelers there was
no killing cold frost to put quietus to
them.
Now when the whole earth IS clothing
itself in flowers and verdure their feast
inc commences. You will see the little
lunches on silken web at the Junction OF
twigs often high up out OF reach. In
each one scores or even hundreds OF tiny
worms are punched together, carefully
protected bv q delicate coverlid which
ixeens them safe and warm. No May

THE BOY SCOUT EXHIBITION.

Something of the purpose OF the boy
scout movement will be made clearer at
the free public meeting in the Barre
opera house this evening, when the boy
scout council of Barre will present an
exhibition Of the work being done by
the members of the three scout patrols
Of the city This exhibition will be OF
particular interest because OF the gem
orally recognized fact that the first boy
scout organization in the United States
was formed in Barre and because. also,
OF the fact that the organization seems
to be doing good work in training the
hands and minds of the boys who are
enrolled in one OF the three organiza-
lions. The boys have been training we'll
in order that they may give their elders
as satisfactory exemplificaton OF their
work as possible, and their efforts merit
large attendance from the general public
OF Barre. The boy scout council, which
is made up of well known people, is
meeting the expense OF the entertain
nent with view to giving as wide
publicity as possible to the boy scout
movement, that its aims may be known
correctly.

4 GOOD PUBLIC HEALTH MOVE.

The common. or disease spreading,
towel mas been taboced by the Vermont
state board OF health; it must not be
used in any public service under penalty
of fine as provided by the law. The
common towel, the rollertowel, the dirt
smirched, the germ-infested towel has
long been with us; but it is no friend
in spite of long association. To the
contrary, it is an enemy, an enemy of
insidious action, exerting its baleful in
fluence when unsupported and fasten-
ing upon its victims diseases of one ma
ture or another. And aside from its
liability to spread disease, the towel
used over and over by line of people
is a Joke on cleanliness, receiving. as it
does, the aceumulations removed by one
after another of its users, while all the
time the succeeding users delude them
selves into thinking that they are max
ing their hands, faces and bodies clean.
So the demands of public health and
cleanliness require that th~ oie-"seu
towel in public places like hotels, schools,
halls, etc, be done away with and sub
stituted with individual cloth towels or
individual paper towels such as have
come into quite common use in recent
years. The order Of the Vermont state
board of health will find a sympathetic
response in public opinion of the state.

enforced.

many clubs devoted to publicity and

i only since the advent of the automo-
bile that she has become alive TO the pos
sibilities that lie within her boundaries
With proper advertising there IS no
question but what every town In the
state could reap profit from summer
hoaniers. There are few states in the
union that offer more and varied at
fractions to the summer visitors than
Vermont, with her numerous beautiful
lakes, her winding streams, wooded
roads. and mountain peaks, she presents
n pleasing and alluring aspect to the
summer tourist.
Vermont scenery is so attractive that
summer visitors have persisted in COM
ing to the state despite the handicap
that has met them, through lack Of
good roads and advertised hostelries
Now the road question is becoming an
all important issue and through the
efforts OF State Road Commissioner
Gates we are fast building and repair
ing highways until soon We can chal'
lenge comparison with the states whose
roads have long been held up to Yer
monters as ideal.
We are becoming aroused to the pos
sibilitics OF profit from summer board
ers and where there were half dozen
summer people ten years ago, to-day
there are hundreds.

will seize upon every opportunity 20
