NO TRACE OF BURROUGHS.

At the last account this morning no
trace of Arthur C. Burroughs, who
escaped from the Addison County Jail
Sunday night had been found
Officers of surrounding towns have
been notified of the escape and a sharp
watch is being kept under the direction
of o. A. Smith of Addison and Deputies
N. j, Sanford and Edward Higgins of
Middlebury.
Burroughs has been in the County
jail here since last winter in default of
furnishing 81, 900 bonds to appear at the
June term of county court, charged
with stealing poultry from William
Dean of Monkton. He made his escape
between l0:30 and IL: 40 Sunday night
by saving the iron bars of his cell with
three-cOrnered file and two table
knives which had been rudely made into
saws, which were found in his cell. 1t
is thought Burroughs had been at work
on the bars for some time as he had
concealed the cuts on the bars with
white lead.
Burroughs is 27 years of age and had
been resident of Vergennes for some
time.

CLEANUP WEEK.

The ladies of the Village Improve
ment society have kindly placed in the
hands of the village trustees a small
amount of money for the purpose OF
carting away rubbish, which some have
not yet been able to dispose of.
The first week in May, beginning
May ID, seems to be generally recog-
nized as "Clean-Up Week. Accord
ingly a team will go around the village
on Wednesday, the 5th, or as soon after
as possible, and gather up rubbish,
which is placed by the side of the road
in convenient receptacles or in piles
easily handled.
Residents have pretty generally anti
cipated this date in getting cleaned up
fortunately, but the Improvement soci-
ETY. is thus helping to dispose Of the
balance
In this connection the trustees would
like to urge the cooperation OF all IN
keeping the streets and public places
neat and free from litter. One OF the
most common and unsightly otfenses is
the scattering of papers, which blow
about and give the town an unkempt
appearance. Much may be done IN the
way of training the children to help IN
this matter.
The trustees believe that the oilng OF
the streets in this day of the motor
vehicle is a sanitary necessity. Ihey
have accordingly arranged to have the
oil applied to moderate extent about
Nav 25th. where it will do the most
good for the most people. The date OF
oiling is established by the time the
road oiler can reach here on its
schedule. Aid is expected from the
State for this object to the extent OF
$50.

WARNING TO ADDISON COUNTY
FARMERS.

The tent caterpillars are now hatch
ing and are ready to begin eating the
young leaves of the fruit trees. Now
is the last chance to prevent these cater
pillars from destroying the foliage on
the orchard trees. Watch for the small
tents to appear, then spray the trees
thoroughly. The spray material should
be compounded as follows: Add three
pounds of aresnate of lead in the paste
form, or one and one-half pounds in the
powder form, to lime sulphur solution
made by adding one gallon of the com
mercial lime-sulphur solution to forty
gallons of water. Success depends on
the promptness and thoroughness with
which the work is done.

COLLEGE FORESTRY.
over 10000 Young Trees Trans
planted to BatteIl Lands.

Prof. A. Z. Lambert of the college
has had force of eight students hard
at work the past week transplanting
young pine and spruce trees from the
nursery on college hill to lands of the
Battell estate 5000 white pine have
already been set on the so-called "tri-
angle" about mile east of the village
In the same vicinity on land acquired
| by Mr.. Battell from the Foote place
DO, 600 more are being started 1000
Norway and white pine will be set on
the Grant place near East Middebury.
In the vicinity of Bread Loaf Inn,
Ripton, are several tracts recently cut
over for wood. On one of these about
AZ, 900 Norway spruce will be set This
will make a total of about 10000 trees
started this year.
The areas on which the planting is
being done were selected by State
Forester A. F. Hawes, who has CO.
operated cordially with the college
The work has been done under the
of the State Forestry division.
! The foundations for the work of
Forestry by Middlebury College were
laid by Prof. E. A. Burt, now of Wash
ington University, st. Louis. Three
years ago, in connection with his classes
in Forestry, he started a nursery for
pines and spruces on the land west of
Pearsons Hall, and this nursery is fur
nishing all the trees for the present
planting. By the accession of the for
est lands of the Battel estate Middle
bury College is provided with an unusual
opportunity for forest culture within
few miles of its seat.
! The movement for the scientific man
agement of forest areas in the United
States is a matter of recent growth.
/ For several centuries European coun-
tries, particularly Germany and Swtzer-
land, have given careful attention to
the cultivation of their forest lands, and
arboriculture, in these countries. years
ago reached high degree of develop
ment.
The real beginning of technical
forestry in the United States dates
from 1876 when DR.. F. B. Hough was
, appoint Forest Agent in the Depart,
ment of Agriculture. A Division of
Forestry was created in 1886 which,
later, in 1897 became the Bureau of
Forestry.
Under the encouragement of this Bu-
reau thirty-one states have taken def
mite steps toward the preservation of
their forests and their cultivation along
scientific lines, an effort toward the
conservation of rich natural resource
which is bearing excellent results.
Vermont has shown its interest in
this movement by the appointment of
State Forester, and is engaged in the
maintenance of a state nursery for
evergreen trees, and the planting of the
lands controlled by the State, especially
those about Mansfield and Camels Hump.
The State has also encouraged private
owners by granting concessions to those
who will undertake extensive planting
in proper areas under the direction of
the State.

that he is said to be Opposed

is a crank or fanatic.

rabble crowd wants and approves,
And they want and approve what
is contrary to right because there
are so few brave enough and loyal
enough for rights sake to lead
the errIng. unrighteous throng
And often it is willing to be led
and is inclined toward the light !:
but the MAN WHO KNOWS neg
Iects his duty and is as culpable IN
the face OF the peoples derelictions
as the victims of his neglect and
indifference and "politics" are.
Upright citizens and church people
are guilty in Vicksburg.
The Vicksburg Herald is making
as brave a fight (slngle-handed as
it appears to the outsider) for law
and civic righteousness as was ever
made IN the State. And, for this,
the able editor is classed a mud
singer, a fault finder, common

TiIly KOenen Returns to America.

In lilly Koenen. the Dutch con-
tralto VINO has returned to America
this season after an absence of five
years is a personality so vivid and
forceful that one understands i'm
medlately the success which has
been meted out to her. A native
of Holland, she is favorite of the
Dutch Queen, for whom she has Of
ten sung. Her magnetism (Which
is, perhaps. but another name for
temperament), is SO abounding
that she wins her audience even
before the beautiful voice floats
out to them.
Miss Koenen has spent many
years in Berlin. Her home at
present is The Hague. There, also,
lives Cornelia van Zanten, Miss
Koenen's only teacher
Miss Koenen's tour of this coun'
try begins late because of the con-
dition in her own country Not
knowing when war might be de-
clared, her loyalty to her people
kept her until the immediate dan
ger for such a contingency was
passed.
