BARRE'S HEALTH OFFICER.
DR.. ]. w. Stewart Will Succeed DR.. ]. Fl.
Woodruff, Resigned.

Unofficial notice has been received
here of the appointment of DIR. J. w.
Stewart OF West street to the office OF
city health officer and secretary OF the
local state board of health, to succeed
Dr. John H. Woodruff. whose resignation
was handed to the city council several
weeks ago. While the appointment of
DR.. Stewart is unconirmed by an Off
eia statement from the state board of
health. the fact that he was the choice
Of the board at its recent meeting is not
being controverted. For the time being
Dr. Woodruff remains in charge of the
city health department and he is still
busy enforcing the strictest quarantine
measures wherever contagious diseases
have been discovered in Barre.
Or. Stewart stated to-day that he
had learned of his appointment from
good authority and the statement was
corroborated by Dr. Woodruff, whose re-
quest that his resignation be accepted
was made on the ground that he wished
to devote his whole time to private
practice. When seen by a Times man
to-day, DIR. Stewart said that in the
event of his appointment from the state
board OF health. he would continue to
act as city physician.
The retiring health officer has been
official ever since his APP
pointment in the trying days of the
smallpox epidemic two years ago. DR..
Stewart, the prospective health officer,
is recognized as one of the leading young
physicians in Barre and it is predicted
that he will make the most of the OPP
portunity for service to the city. Among
those who are near to the situation, it
is predicted that official notice of the
new health officers appointment viii be
received here tomorrow

No Campaigning Because of
the War-Will "Stay
on Job"
PLACES COUNTRY
ABOVE PARTY
But Says Keynote of Politi.
cal Fight Is Democratic
Achievement

Washington, Sept. SIN a remarkable
letter to Representative Frank Z. Dore-
mus, chairman of the Democratic CON
gressional committee, President Wilson
declines to take an active part in the
coming campaign.
Mr.. Wilson bases his decision on pa
triotic grounds. The problems now
pressing upon the United States for
solution demand all his time and en-
ergy and he is unable to turn away
from these duties to undertake any kind
of a political canvass.
There is an intimation in the presi-
dents letter that he may feel obliged
to remain ''on the job in Washington,
even after Congress has adjourned, in
stead of taking vacation.
"Parties will fare well enough with
out nursing" says the president, ''if the
men who make them up and the men
who lead them forget themselves to
serve cause and get great people
forward on the path of liberty and
peace
The president in his letter indicates
to the Democrats OF the country the
keynote in the coming campaign. 1t is
the Democratic record OF achievement
the clearing away of all doubt and un-
certainty that have plagued business,
the wiping out OF any further an
tagonism between the government and
the industrial agencies of the country
and the clearing of the track for un-
precedented prosperity.
The president proposes two other great
questions for the party's programme in
the immediate future-the building up
of merchant marine for the develop
ment of a foreign commerce and con-
servation of national resources.

To Prevent Fly Breeding

The fly is severely arranged by the
Board of Health as one of the worst
menaces to the health of the city and
residents are urged to cover such re-
ceptacles and rubbish heaps which may
harbor the pests as breeding places.
Together with an appeal to swat the fly
early and often the following directions
as to how to prevent their increase is
given:
''Fies are the filthiest of all insects.
They breed and will carry on their feet
germs of typhoid and other dangerous
diseases. Flies breed in manure piles,
garbage pals and all other places where
dirt and decaying matter are allow
ed to collect.
every back yard that is kept clean;
every garbage pail that is kept clean;
every stable that has the manure re-
moved frequently and kept covered at
all times, means many less flies, greater
comfort to individual and community,
and of far greater Importance, less
danger of an epidemic of any dangerous
disease. F."

ATTENTION SPORTSMEN

! The marshes along the Delawar'
river, in Delaware. furnish ideal hunt
ing grounds for Reed birds The
Federal Migratory bird regulation alb
solutely prohibits Reed bird hunting in
Delaware. In these regulations, prior
to their final adoption, Delaware was
given an open season on Reed birds
corresponding to our State law. With
out any notice whatever to any official
or citizen of Delaware this open season
on Reed birds was cut out by the com
mittee in charge of the regulations, and
the shooting of Reed birds absolutely
prohibited. Vigorous representations
have been made to the committee by
many Delawareans, seeking to have
the open season restored, but so far the
committee has refused to make any
change. Recently many of the sports
men of the State have united in form
ally requesting that the Federal com
mittee set date for public hearing
in Delaware. The committee have Just
agreed to grant this hearing, and have
set Tuesday evening, April 28th, as the
date for the hearing It will be held
in the auditorium of the Hotel dupont
at 500 P. M. and cordial invitation
is extended to all sportsmen of the
State to represent. A formal demand
will be made on the committee to grant
Delaware an open season on Reed
birds, and evidence will be presented to
show that in all justice the request
should be granted.
Sportsmen interested in other
changes in the Federal regulations
should make a special effort to be pre-
sent, as tn meeting will afford an op-
portunity for them to get together and
present their claims in a united and in
telligent manner.
Remember the date, 500 P. M Tues
day, April 18th at the Hotel DUPONT, at
Wilmington.
Spread the new % all your sports

FERTILIZER FOR CORN CROP

The following bulletin has been is.
sued by the Department of Agronomy
of the Delaware College Experiment
Station:
The purchase of fertilizers is the first
cash outlay in the preparation for the
corn crop. What kind of fertilizers to
use and how much to apply per hcre
must be governed by local conditions.
1t is easy enough to recommend a fer
tilizer that will make a fair yield of
corn, other conditions being favorable,
yet to designate particular brand or
mixture that win prove most profitable
requires some consideration of the kind
of soil to be planted to corn, its previ-
GUS treatment as to cropping, fertiliza-
ton, etc.
Where sod or growth of crims n
clovor is to be plowed under, fertili-
zer containing only phosphoric acid and
potash will give good results. On mac
tive clay lands, little soluble nitrogen
should be used to start the plants. For
this type of soil the following formula
should give good results: Nitrogen,
1 ~ per cent, phospholic acid $40 per
cent, and potash 81 per cent Where
crimson is plowed down on sandy loan
soil. no nitrogen need be used.
Ifthe corn land was planted to corn
last year or is a wheat or oats stubble,
a 1856 fertilizer should be used. The
quality offertilizer to apply will depend
on fertility of the soil. An application
of $50 to 500 pounds per acre would be
a fair application. Corn responds gen
erously to the use Of fertilizers and IL
beral applications are generally profita-
BILE.
Where liberal quantities of stable
manure are used, Ephosphoric acid will
be the only commercial fertilizer need
ed. Most manure is rather low in phos-
phoric acid and is rendered more eff
cient by supplementing it with acid
phosphate, perhaps $50 pound per
acre.
A very common and effective fertili-
ger for light soils where crimson clover
is turned under is mixture of equal
parts Of acid phosphate kainit. This
gives fertilizer carrying about Z per
cent phosphoric acid 8 per cent potash.
Muriate of potash may be substituted
for kainit when the mixture should be
made up of parts of acid phosphate
and one part muriate of potash. This
gives a fertilizer carrying II per cent
phosphoric acid and 10 per cent potash. |
This mixture is, of course, richer than
the first and less is required per acre.
Home mixed fertilizers will give as
good results as the commercial brands
and some money is saved by buying the
raw materials.
Fertilizers 1ould be applied broad
cast over the land just previous to
planting and narrowed in. A disk drill
or fertilizer distributor may be used.
Applying fertilizer in the drill row or
in the hill has some objections and
should not be generally followed by I
the corn crop.

APPRECIATION LEAGUES

/
We learn from city exchange thai
there have been organized in many Of
the larger cities Of this country socie.
ties known as appreciation leagues ..
The sum and substance of the purpose
of these leagues are found in the fol-
lowing program which every member
is supposed to carryoat in the course of
his everyday life: IF you see a kind
act done, a beneficial service performed
don t keep it a secret. Tell some one
and tell it where it will do the most
good . This is splendid program. If
every man and every woman would
make point of earring it out, the
world would become a better place to
live in. Positive goodness, active kind
ness get too little advertisement. They.
do not go about singing their own
praises, and so their praises are seldom
sung at all. Goodness and kindness
are two much taken for granted. 1t is
our duty to be good and kind; and there
is a certain Spartan creed which holds
that nobody deserves especial praise
for simply doing his or her duty.
Doubtless there is something fine in
that theory or creed. But we must
take human nature as we find it and
deal with it as it is and not as it ought
to be. We are not supermen and su-
perwomen; and there are few of US
who do not feel more kindly toward
the world when we find that some kind
act or good deed of ours has been
been marked and is appreciated by our
fellows.
