AUTOISTS INJURED
Party Of New Hampshire Joy
Riders Come To Serious Grief
When Car Turned SOmersauIt.

Riding at a reckless speed a party
of four New Hampshire Joy riders
elated by something stronger than
Green Mountain ozone, had a narrow
escape from instant death Sunday
afternoon when the car skidded at a
turn just this side of Passumpsic,
turned a complete somersault and
threw the occupants out. Walter
Mowers, owner and driver of the car,
received a fracture of the skull, had
one ear nearly torn off and was 9TH
erwise cut and bruised about the
head. F. A. Sayre had two bones in
the right arm and one in the left
broken. They were taken to the
Brightlook hospital where their
wounds were dressed and they are
now on the road to recovery. Two
young women with them who refused
to give their names escaped injury
and returned to Lebanon, n. H.,
where the party came from. 1t has
been learned the names of the women
are Miss Cass and Myra Gardner and
that Miss Cass is a trained nurse.
Everyone who saw the victims and
the ruins of the auto say there were
of liquor and this probably is respOn-
sible for the accident. The party
started from Lebanon at IL o'clock
Sunday morning and brought their
refreshments with them. They pass
ed through Passumpsic shortly after
five o'clock at a speed that alarmed
all who saw them. When they
reached the turn in the road near
the cemetery the car began to skid
and turned a complete sOmersault
and landed right side up at right
angles to the highway. A woman
living nearby saw the accident and
telephoned Dr. w. B. Fitch. Then
she took bandages and went to the
occupants. Miss Cass who evidently
was experienced in the care of
wounded assisted her in getting Mr..
Mowers from under the car. c. E.
Silsby and F. B. Jacques came along
in an automobile and together the
people checked the flow of blood
from Mr.. Mowers wounds and bound
up the broken arms of Mr.. Sayre. AS
soon as DR.. Fitch arrived the men
were taken to the hospital.
DIR. Mowers father, mother and
sister were summoned from Lebanon
and came by automobile Sunday
evening but after finding the vic
Tins we'll cared for at the hospital re-
turned to their home.
The top part of the automobile
was practically demolished but the
running gear was not seriously dam
aged.

mont has long been famous for her
agriculture and now that scientific
methods are employed it is natural
the "back to the sOil' movement
should spring up. The land is of
reasonable price and of excellent
quality. For the staple farm pro-
ducts, Vermont is seldom surpassed
and she has a reputation for fruit
raising that is of no small import
ance. She is also noted for her
stock raising especially for her Jer-
sey COWS and Morgan horses. Of
course this is the state that makes
maple sugar famous, because two
fifths of the total output of that
commodity is from this state. The
fact that dairy products come from
Vermont puts a premium on them,
also. Vermont surely has opportun-
tiles, and that her citizens are COM
ing to realize it more and more is
shown by the development of 'Ver-
mont by Vermonters.
Music was then furnished by the
St. Johnsbury Trio, Miss Helen Boyn-
ton, violin; Miss Maude Brown,
piano; and Raymond Laughlin, cello.
They gave selections from Cavaleria
Rusticana by Mascagni.
''The Course of the Immigrant
Through Ellis Island" was told in
most accurate and interesting man
ner by Miss Helen Mann Silver. The
first thing that greets the eye of the
foreigner coming to this country is
the Statue of Liberty in New York
harbor. This is the symbol of ali
their hopes and ambitions. But be-
fore they can reach this land of pro-
mise and liberty they must go
through trying Ordeals on Ellis is
land. After being taken to the is
land the foreigners are first sent to
the medical examiners, and they send
some directly to the hospitals. Those
who pass this preliminary examina-
ton are taken to a large room for
inspection. The only decorations in
this room are two large American
flags. Here 5000 foreigners are Of
ten inspected in a day. Some are
sent back to the home land from
here after several days at the island.
Those who are fortunate enough to
pass this examination are then turn
ed over to the missionaries who serve
them in countless ways, from chang
ing their money to American coin and
helping them get to the railroad
room to getting employment for
them. They are now given an iden-
tiication badge and are free to enter
and become citizens of their chosen
country, the land of liberty.
A demonstration of Wireless Tel
egra ply by Herbert Dean Pearl was
one of the most interesting features
of the program. A model station
was set up in the room Mr.. Pearl
gave a little sketch of the history of |
the wireless, telling what a compare |
lively recent invention it is and how
simple it's principles. There are
seven stations in ST. Johnsbury and |
from these messages have been pick
ed up even 5000 miles away. Space /

What The Girls Can Do.

Tomorrow evening in Academy
hall, st. JOhnsbury will have the pri-
vilege of witnessing an original and
novel performance by local talent
that has not been duplicated in any
town in the country. The four-act
play "Cloudcatcher," presented by a
cast of over 80 of the Iroquoisia
Camp Fire girls is the story of an
old Indian legend of a young brave,
who, dissatisfied with tribal life, was
taken to the spirit world, but found
that for mortals, life on earth was
best.
Rehearsals have been in progress
all winter, and the special music and
special stage effects will make just
the proper finishing touches to this
production of the beautiful legend.
The rs cent piece was made ia
Gus by the American Liver Tablets,
the perfect laxative.

TO SELL BETTER MILK
T.. and Il. Fairbanks and Co., To
Start A Milk Route In Village.


Start A Milk Route In Village.
For several weeks the f. and T.
Fairbanks and Co., have been pre-
pairing to start a milk route in this
village and propose to sell a higher
grade and cleaner lot of milk than
has ever been offered here before.
They have a herd of so thoroughbred
or high grade Jersey cows, 90 of
which are now in milk and they are
producing little over 45O quarts of
milk per day. One feature of their
service will be the delivery of all
their milk and cream in bottles, the
bottles to be closed with the usual
caps and over these a wrapping of
parafine paper that will prevent any
contamination from an outside
source.
The large stables at the Fairbanks
farm have been put in the most san
itary condition and their creamery
equipped with modern apparatus to
ensure clean, healthy milk and
cream. A bottle washer has been

If we were to venture guess as to the
reasons for the high per capita cost OF
administration in New England's chief
city we should ascribe it pre-eminently
to too much politics; city cannot be
run economically when it is ridden with
politics as is the city of Boston. APP
parently, one might almost say, the city
exists in order to permit some party to
secure ascendency over some other party,
or it NAV be for one faction OF single
party to win out over another faction OF
the same party. No sooner is one man
elected mayor of the municipality THAI
plans are put on foot to secure the sue
ceeding election two years hence. Doubt
less, too, those plans have been matur-
ing for some years back, only needing a
favorable opportunity for spreading be-
fore the public. 1t is politics all the
time in Boston. 1t is politics which, to
great extent, is maintaining Boston
at the unenviable position as the most
costly city for per capita municipal ex-
penses in its class.

SOME SECRETS OF SWEET CORN
Quality Is What Counts
ID u EOwARDS


Nearly everyone plants sweet corn of
some kind in the garden. When we re-.
fer to it, however, we mean quality
sweet corn, that delectable, melting
feast of sweetness which the average
gardener gets from his hill only two or
three times a season.
But to have a continuous supply OF
the best corn in the best condition, one
must know Just how TO arrange for 1t,
when to pick it and how to cook 1t. Now
there are two methods Of raising IL, Ell
Their by repeated paintings at intervals
of one or two weeks or by planting sew
eral varieties at one time. selected to
mature in succession, as a supply for sew
eral weeks may be had from single
be required. Each plan has its good
points. Where space is limited success
sive planting will, Of course, be prefer
able. and the matter of variety as gov
erning quality is also important.
New Varieties.
OF the several different kinds, the fol-
lowing varieties have been tried with
success. Golden Rod Golden Bantam,
Hiawatha, Pocahontas, Early Champion,
Crosby's Early, the Henderson, Country
Gentleman and Stowelfs Evergreen. The
Golden Rod is cross between Stowelfs
Evergreen and Golden bantam and is a
happy combination of blending the good
qualities of both. Ii is one of the mid
season" varieties. Henderson's Pocahon-
tas is an extra early variety, and, while
not equal to some of the later kinds, 1t
is well worth place in the garden. Sew
eral other familiar varieties - namely,
the Golden Bantam and Country Gem
tleman, also have that deservedly noted
sweet flavor of the Golden Rod and Hla'
watha.
The land for corn should be thorough
Nv MANFRED, or, lacking manure, use a
liberal amount of market garden brand
of commercial fertilizer or mixture
known as 4-s-ll-that is, per cent.
nitrogen, s per cent. phosphoric acid,
and IL per cent. potash. In addition to
this. good handful of hen manure in
the bottom of each hill. with a-little
earth spread over it, is one of the very
best maaures for corn. and at the second
hoeing work handful of nitrate of soda
into the soil about the hills. Plant the
corn in drills, dropping the seed about
nine inches apart, and run the rows east
and west if possible. but do not hill
up." for, like other shallow rooted plants,
corn feeds near the surface, and II we
keep heaping up the earth around the
stalk the roots. which have wandered
off, are partly uncovered.
