Plans for Holding 80 During Winter
if Communities Meet Requirements
Home Economics Included.


The agricultural extension service of
the state university held 10 extension
schools the past year. Over 500 Vermont
farmers registered The attendance ranged
from 20 to 60 and averaged 81. The in
terest shown, as well as numerous requests
for similar schools, warrant their contlnu-
alton this winter on a larger scale. 1t is
planned to hold 80 schools provided COM
munities are ready to meet the simple re-
quirements.
At these schools, with farmers as the
pupils, agricultural college men will dis
cuss dairying breeding and management
of livestock, feeds and feeding, farm crops
soils and soil management, fruit, poultry,
forestry, farm management and farm ma
chinery. The schools last five days. In
most cases coincident with the work in
agriculture for the farmers will be held an
extension school in home economics foI
the farm women, at which house santa
ton, selection and preparation of foods
sewing and dressmaking will be discussed
and illustrated
The extension service desires to start
these schools by the middle of November
Several applications are already IN hand
others should be promptly made. Th'
local community should furnish suitable
rooms for the work and guarantee sat
isfactory and, as nearly as may be. con
slant attendance. Applications will b.
considered in the order of receipt ant
should be addressed to Director OF Exten
/ sion Service, Burlington, Vt.

Impersonating Officer.

NEW YORK, Nov. David Lamar;

York city from the District of Column
bia since his Indictment in 1913 ON Il
charge of impersonating government
officer with intent TO defraud, was ar
rested in the corridor of an uptown
hotel last night by two agents of the
department OF justice. He was taken
before William NJ. Offiey, chief agent
IN New York of the department of JUS
tice, who permitted him to consult with
counsel and then ordered him locked
up for the night.
The arrest was q surprise both te
Lamar and to his captors. The latest
reports TO the department of Justice
agents there had indicated he was still
in Washington and was likely TO remain
there until the supreme court for the
district had passed upon his appeal.
Last night the agents were walking
along the corridor just as Lamar went
| quick through it. CHANGING at him
as he passed, the detectives recognized
him as the much-wanted man and i'm.
mediately seized him. Lamar told
them he was making a secret flying
trip to New York city and had expected
to dodge the federal authorities. Now
that he is in that jurisdiction, Lamar

BIGGEST OF ALL NAVY GUNS.
Sixteen-I Inch Rifle Now Being Tested
for Our New Dreadnoughts.

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE larg-
est and most powerful naval gun ever
designed has just been completed for
the United States navy. 1t Is a
giant 16-inch rife, which has been
constructed without publicity at the
Washington navy yard. This became
known last night and it was said
that the gun was being tested at the
Indian Head Proving grounds on the
Potomas.
If the new weapon proves to be the
success its initial trials promise, If
may be adopted as the type OF gun
for the main battery OF the three
dreadnaughts authorized at the last
session of Congress. These vessels
contracts for twoss of whichs already
have been let, will be larger by sever
al thousand tons than any ship now
afioat, and navy men believe they ear
easily carry the heavier guns.
The largest weapons now used IL
the American navy are the 14-inci
guns, carried by the dreadnaughts Of
the Pennsylvania, Nevada and New
York class. The newest battleship'
of the British navy carry 15-inci
rifles, eight of them in four turrets.
1t is said that the 16-inch gun viii

Much Enthusiasm Shown at Opening
81 * 9gGHoE - II sTh BEE
of Convention. in Burlingto

BURLINGTON Nov. gF--The state
woman S suffrage convention called out
large and enthusiastic audiences, repre-
senting many towns. The treasurer
reported balance of $4,000 and ex-
penses of $25 during the year.
Back of the stage was an American
flag with illuminated stars showing the
number of stars that had adopted a
woman suffrage law. The original
number was ten, but the election of
Tuesday has added two more and there
are hopes that the entire number will
be increased to IA when all the cleo
ton returns are counted. There is al
so map of the United States on ex-
hibition showing the states that have
equal suffrage laws and the states
that have limited suffrage and those
which have no suffrage, each being
designated by different color.
Mrs. Frances r. Wyman, president
of the association, was the presiding
officer The program was opened with
an address of welcome by Mayor
James E. Burke, a welcome from the
local league by Mrs. John B. Taylor
response for the state associa
ton by Mrs Amanda d. Seaver oil
Barton. There were vocal solos by
Mrs. Harry F. Adams of St Albans
and Mime. Ravi-Broeks, both OF
which were encored in response to the
enthusiastic plaudits of the audience
The address of the evening was by
Beatrice Forbes Robertson Hale, OF
| New York, and it was forceful enun
citation of the principles of suffrage
viewed from the standpoint of a high
/ " gifted and cultured woman who
/ had apparently made deep study O
the question and spoken with eonvic
ton and sincerity.
