Watch for Brown Tail Moth.

H. L. Bailey of Bradford was in
Barton last week. He stated that he
made an inspection of the lights of the
village for brown tail moth but found
none but he urged everyone to be on
the lookout for them. The brown tail
moth is now in the flying stage and peo-
pie of this vicinity should be on the
lookout for it. The moths are pure
white except the tails, which are
brown as the name implies. They
spread from tip to tip about an inch
and a half. They are likely to be
found flying about lights or clinging to
the poles or buildings to which the
lights are attached. They may also be
found depositing masses of eggs on the
leaves Of apple, wild cherry or the
other trees which they infest. Last
year this pest was found in Sutton,
and it is important that every effort
be exerted to prevent its spread fur
ther north. The caterpillar of the
moth is not only very destructive to
highly discomforting itch, when it
comes in contact with the human
skin. If moths are located in this
town the fact should be reported to
H. L. Bailey, Bradford assistant to
the commissioner of agriculture, in
charge of insect suppression. The
caterpillar common to this section this
summer is the tent caterpillar, and G.
O.. Ormsbee, tree expert says in two
years the tent and forest caterpillars
that have proved such nuisance this
year will have entirely disappeared.
His reason for this prediction is that
the tiny parasites that devour the
cocoons of these worms are getting in
their work. There are but few living
cocoons of next years brood left and
by the following year Mr.. Ormsbee
believes they will all be dead.

Valuable Horse Lost by Fire.

A disastrous fire, in which two of
our townsmen, S. M. Bickford and H.
A. Harding of Barton, were heavy
losers, occurred at Delorimier Park,
Montreal about p. m. Friday, July
18th. Mr.. Bickford, with w. F.
Wormwood of Woodsville, N. H.,
were owners of Baron Forest, su-
perb black horse, for which they paid
So, 900 in Kentucky year ago last
April. and for which they had refused
$4,000 and were holding him for
$50. 200. His sire, General Forest,
was sold for $4,000 and sent to Italy
in 1910 Mr.. Wormwood also lost
High Ball and Sam Rice, the combined
value of which was about $13, 900.
The loss to Mr.. Bickford and Mr..
Harding in harness and blankets was
in the vicinity of $500, besides all their
clothing, which was considerable. as
they expected to be away for two
months, making the usual circuit of
New York and Vermont tracks. The
origin of the fire is unknown and the
total loss, not including the uniden-
titled horses, is estimated at $4,000.

WILL NOW HAVE FAIR.
Reorganization to be Effected Tomorrow
Grounds Will be Purchased by Stock
Company Containing About $50 Mem
hers from All over the County.

There is no doubt now about there
being an Orleans County Fair held this
fall, although the exact dates cannot
be given out until after tomorrow.
The people of Orleans county have
come to the rescue of the county fair
by subscribing literally for stock in
an organization for the purchase of
Roaring Brook park and the holding of
fairs thereon in the future. The
organization is to be perfected tomor-
row by the subscribers for the stock,
notice having been mailed to every
subscriber last week that a meeting
would be held at Seaver's hall, Barton,
Thursday afternoon at o'clock for
the purpose of electing officers, decid.
ing on dates for this falls fair,
adopting bylaws, etc. 1t is anticipat-
ed that there will be something doing
Immediately following the meeting
toward booming this falls exhibition
and the people of this section may
watch for the dates and the news.
Although the time is short, with ap-
proximately $50 Orleans county men
personally interested and enthusiastic
cally behind the enterprise, a good fair
may be looked for.
The matter of purchasing the
grounds and reorganizing on a county
wide basis, so successful elsewhere,
has been discussed for year, but only
until lately was determined effort
made to carry the idea out. Fifteen
or 20 of Barton's business men. after
subscribing literally themselves with
| others in town, volunteered last week
to give their time and effort to a whirl-
wind, countrywide campaign to distrib-
butte the rest of the stock over wide
territory. Consequently several auto
mobile loads of Barton's business men
started out Tuesday of last week to
| various parts of the county and they
found deep interest in every quarter in
maintaining an Orleans county fair
1t should be understood that the old
association did not own grounds but
has rented them from F. B. Lang
since Mr.. Lang bought them of the
! late F. T. Holder number of years
ago and the old association was limite
to rs members with a capitalization of
$500. The shares of stock in the new
organization are set at $25, thus insur-
ing wide distribution of the stock.
The Barton men who have made this
tour OF the county request that the
Monitor state it has been impossible tc
visit everyone, owing to the hurried
manner in which the canvass has beer
made. Undoubtedly there are many
who would like to take a share OF
stock for the sake of making this {
successful county affair and there will
probably be an opportunity for sucl
to subscribe, now or later.

that :many and they are fishermen of

of the machinery are working with
clock-l,ke precision. Everything
about the plant shows the closest
study has been given in the erec-
ton of the building and the in
stalling and selection of the ma
chinery. From the time the ore.
is mined until il comes out ready
for shipment gravity does the
work. Economy as well as
efficiency in milling the. ores has
been strictly regarded. The COM
pany has large body of ore of
low grade but some Of it running
high in values. The values are
gold and silver with fair show
ing Of lead. The low grade runs
from SS. to $Io per ton but with
such facilities as they have for
handling and milling it good
profit will be the result.

The pafing of Miner streets
with the flinty rock from the May
flower dump is showing the wis

having this done and no one with
good reason begrudge this ex-

the means will be available to put
this crushed rock the centre length
of Miner street and all the way
across from curb to curb. Had
this work begun years ago instead
of spending SO much time and ex-
pense with dirt filling Miner street
would have been by this time a
finely paved boulevard. The be
ginning however ofa substantial
paving has been made and each
year will see this improvement
going on. The pace has been set
and will be followed up. This
Improvement in time will also
extend up the cross streets as well
as Colorado street for the people
will be so satisfied with what they
see of this crushed rock improve
ment that they will want more.
