Probably the majority of the
people of Vermont do not realize
that ASBESTOS is found and mined to
any extent in this state, and a still
less number know that such is not
only the case, but that Vermont leads
every state in the union in produc-
ton of the fireproof material, along
with granite and maple products.
Some interesting statistics are given
in a pamphlet, THE Production of
Asbestos" published by the depart
ment of the interior, United States
geological survey. BY these statistics
it can readily be seen that the princi-
pal output was from Vermont, in
fact about two-thirds of the output
comes from this state.

BEAT BETHLEHEM
Local Team Had A Satisfactory Vic
tory Saturday-Old Rivals Take
One Each-Other Contests.

The strong Bethlehem team, sew
eral times conquerors Of Littleton,
was beaten by ST. Johnsbury, on the
campus Saturday Bethlehem
brought over a fine team, but the To-
cal boys got the breaks" and on
top of that played excellent ball, and
it was impossible to beat them. Fritz,
pitching for the visitors, looked good
at first, but was hit harder as the
game progressed. Fritz is also a
hockey player of high caliber. His
battery partner, Sweetland, of Ev-
erett, put up a good game, and
Frazier of Medford, on first base,
though moderate in his motions,
played very we'll indeed. CoPcoran
was the heavy sticker for Bethle-
hem, hitting Speare's delivery for
three hits in five times up. The home
team played with a snap and dash
that carried the opposition before it,
and it was the tail of the batting
order that did most of the hitting.
The boys played ball for all there
was in it, and Hoernle's team work
showed to advantage. Lee, of Tufts,
on third base, was tower of
strength. both at the bat and in the
field. The locals started after the
game in the first inning, and pushed
a run across on two errors and an
out. They repeated in the next in
ming when Lee whaled out a two
Dagger, was sacrificed along by Gill
fillan and beat Huckins throw on
Bridges roller. Bethlehem got
run in the seventh after two were
ont when SnaarQ hit M9lO00V and
Mcnamara and McGinness singled in
order. The looks of a close game
were dispelled Immediately after
when St. Johnsbury accumulated
three runs in their half by two-bag
gers by Gilfillan and Moore, a single
by Speare, mixed up with a sacrI-
fee by Bridge and an error by
SweetIand, and three in the eighth
on four hits, an out and an error.
Speare had Bethlehem well in hand
throughout the game, and pitched
himself out of several holes, keeping
the hits well scattered. The score:

Ravaqes of Ants.

The ruins of a splendid city on the
north coast of Jamaica remain as evil
dence of the devastation that red ants
are capable of causing. An army of
the insects invaded the city one day
and drove away every living creature,
animal and human, that could escape.
Prisoners in the jails and bedridden
patients in the hospitals were devOur-
ed. Not even a rat or chinch bug re
manned alive.
In Liberia and other parts Of West
Africa ant hills as large as native huts
are found The large black ant is the
builder of that sort of home. Such
ant hills are not unknown in this coun-
try, although they are rarely so large;
but the black ant rarely invades
houses. He is a scavenger and is pro
tected by most farmers.-Brooklyn

abilities Of the innocent looking mole.
Scratch a MOLE" he said, land you

Some moles were harmless and some
were potentially poisonous, he con-
tinued. The only wise coarse was to
leave well enough alone and resist the
temptation to scratch the mole. Warts
and wens should be borne patiently

Dartier told OF a man who by cauter-

Sd. Johnsbury Q. LittIeton 5.

Space will not permit a detailed
account of the miX-up at the campus
Monday when Littleton came here
for the eighth game of the season
with the local nine. A glance at St.
/ Johnsbury's hit column will show
that it was a veritable slaughter,
with Moore, Witt and Hoernle doing
the bulk of the heavy artillery work.
In five times up Witt came through
with single, two doubles and a
triple, Hoernle connected for four
singles in row and Moore's con-
tribution was two singles and
doubles. With the others frequently
connecting it was more than the Wis
iting warriors could stand and as the
Littleton jinx had evidently been
lost en- route the Granite state out
fit had to return with a to 5 de-
feat as their share of the days work.
Aside from the locals hitting they
put up a rafting game in the field
and once more showed the fans that
it was really a base ball team and
that with things going right Little
ton was no more formidable than
any other team For the visitors,
Herron's fielding was a feature. With
the locals hitting everything that
came within reach he and the other
Littleton fielders had plenty of
chance to show their speed There
were twelve put outs in the outer
gardens and at least a dozen other
drives beyond the lines that would
have been beyond reach of a ''Tyrus''
or Spoke" The LittIeton fellows
did not get within speaking distance
of them and batting averages of the
locals were thereby greatly fatten-
ed. The series now stands: Little
ton 4; st. Johnsbury 2 tied 1; and
there are more to follow. The score:

CAMPING Ar HARvEY's POND.
Iroquoisia Camp Fire Girls Report
Fine Outing.

EN0e OlLlkSs
About 20 of the members of the
Iroquoisia Camp Fire Girls of the
North church, including girls from
both groups, have been spending a
very pleasant week at Harvey's
Pond. They lived in tents on the
land belonging to E. S. Manchester
on the side of the lake opposite from
the hotel. The girls were delighted
with the location. and the genuine
New England hospitality of the
neighbors. Mountain climbin, bath
ing, boating, fishing and other sports
helped to make the time pass all too
quickly. 1t was a very pretty sight
to see the girls preparing their own
meals over the stone arches that they
had made out-of-doors. When it was
pleasant their meals were served on
a picnic table by the lake, and at
other times in their mess tent. The
guardian Of the younger group ac-
companied the girls, also Dale At
wood to whom the girls are greatly
indebted for making such an excep-
tionally good time possible. The
party was chaperoned by Mrs. Char
lotte Dow and Mrs. Ira Albee from
Barnet, Mrs. Dow being there the
first of the week and Mrs. Albee the
last. 1t was with deep regret that
the party left in an auto truck for
st. Johnsbury Monday morning.
