Business Floats

The decorated business floats
formed an attractive feature in the
parade. We would like to have
made special mention of each one.
but lack of time prevented us from
making notes sufficient to enable us
to properly describe each one.
The judges awarded the first prize
to John Van Orman. the blacksmith.
He placed horse on his float and
completed the work of shoeing the
animal while the parade was IN pro
gress.
The second prize was awarded II
Lrrsen Bros, who advertised theil
fruit store in very attractive man
ner.

the chariot, and four smaller butter
flies suspended from the front, added
greatly to its attractiveness. On a
raised stand at the back little Jean
Davis, daintily frocked in a white
fluffy gown. held the red, white and
blue streamers which floated back
from the heads Of the butterflies.
The occupants of the chariot were
five Of Montpelier's attractive young
ladies who, dressed in white with
yellow roses twined in their hair,
tossed flowers to the applauding
crowd as they passed by. The dain-
ty arrangement and general attract
iveness of this car drew great admir-
alton from the crowd Of on-lookers
and brought much honor to its de-
signer, who portrayed taste and skill
in this piece Of art.
The second prize OF 70 was award
ed to the car representing the First
Ward Primary association. The de.
sign was a basket, decorated with
pink and white roses, the colors be
ing those of the association. Sever
teachers and pupils were arranged
in groups representing the Socia
hour, Busy hour and Story hour

celebration would be the largest and
best ever held in Montpelier, was
also fulfilled in every detail.
From the firing of the national
salute at the break of day until the
last strains of the orchestra were
heard in the pavilion, nearly % hours
afterwards, the citizens of Montpelier
and the thousands who gathered here
to celebrate the day, enjoyed them
selves.
The Parade
The first important event of the
day was the parade, and right here
we want to say that it would require
more fluent pen than ours to pro-
perly describe this feature. 1t is
enough to say that it far excelled
any Fourth of July parade ever seen
in Montpelier and would have been
a credit to city of ten times the
size of this. All day long people
could be heard commenting upon it.
One gentleman who was here from
Ogden said it surpassed anything he
had ever seen in his city.
Assembling on Fourth street, the
parade started on it's line of march
shortly after 10 o'clock. 1t was led
by Mayor Sheldon and other city
officials in an auto. The features
came in the following order:
Montpelier Concert band.
Living flag, composed Of 55 girls
ranging in ages from 5 to 16 years,
with dozen boy scouts forming the

street singing the chorus of The
Star Spangled Banner" the flag wal
repeatedly cheered by the admirine
spectators.
Float bearing the Misses La Prea
and Selma Perkins of Bennington
who represented George and MAJ th'
Washington. The float was driver
by Judge Coughs negro servant
who was attired in proper livery.
Float bearing Miss Lillian Spier

young lady attendants.
Uncle Sam who was impersonate

that he was awarded third prize b

possessions.

The weather man fulfilled his
promise and gave US an ideal day
last Monday, and the promise of the
Fourth of July committee that the
celebration would be the largest and
best ever held in Montpelier, was
also fulfilled in every detail.
From the firing of the national
salute at the break of day until the
last strains of the orchestra were
heard in the pavilion, nearly % hours
afterwards, the citizens of Montpelier
and the thousands who gathered here
to celebrate the day, enjoyed them
selves.

tos in line. If we have omitted any
floats, it is unintentional and due to
the fact that they were overlooked
in the excitement incident to the par
ade.
After the parade, the pavilion
was quickly filled to it's capacity,
places of honor having been provid-
ed in the south end of the hall for
the living flag. Goddess of Liber-
ty, the Queens and their attendants.
while those on the program occupied
the orchestra pit.
Exercises at the Pavilion
Fl. O'Conner officiated as mas
ter of ceremonies, and the program
as published last week was listened
to with interest by the immense au-
dience. Mr.. O'Conner made a very
pleasing address of welcome and the
Grafton of the day by George Hall of
Raymond. was a mastery one.
The hall was beautifully decorated
with flags and bunting.
Free Sandwiches
At the conclusion of the exercises
the refreshment committee handed
out 1900 sandwiches to the hungry
multitude. A barrell of free lemon
ade was also on tap for the thirsty
ones.

picked two barrels Of sound fruit
from sprayed and pruned trees, and
one barrel from the unpruned and un.
sprayed trees. found that for every
barrel Of sound fruit on the treated
trees, there was one peck Of wormy
apples. For the same amount OF mar
ketable fruit on the Jntreated trees
ere were one and haf bushels Of
wormy fruit, A marked improvement
in the health of the trees was evident
from the way the foliage stayed on
the trees. On October 23rd the leaves
were practically gone from the un-
sprayed trees while the sprayed trees
seemed 10 have their full foliage. The
yield also was several times greater
on the sprayed than on the unsprayed
trees. This demonstration was made
under ideal conditions, one row Of
trees (12) through the middle Of the
orchard being pruned and sprayed
while on either side was left as a
check. In all other ways the whole
orchard was treated exactly alike.

WHAT A FAWN is

A circular issued from the Office OF
John w. Titcomb, Fish and Game
Commissioner, in answer to many in
quiries made.
Lyndonville, VT, Nov 8, 1915
During the approaching open season
"any wild deer except fawns" may be
killed. This protection of fawns has
led to many inquiries as to what is a
fawn.
The intent of the legislature in
drafting the present deer law was to
amend the old law sufficiently to make
it lawful to shoot both bucks and does
during the present season. ANY
deer" means both male and female.
Fawns are excepted as they are by
the laws of almost all states in which
deer are hunted. The specification of
fawns in the Vermont law has been
unnecessary heretofore, because bucks
with horns not less than three inches
in length were the only animals which
could be lawfully killed The male or
buck fawn does not have horns three
inches long until older. Webster de-
fines fawn as "a buck or doe of the
first year" In other words fawn is
a deer born during the present year
which means that it was dropped
last March or later. 1t is
as easy to distinguish the difference
between a fawn and deer as it is TO
the difference between a
cow and calf when the latter is not
more than six months old.
No hunter will shoot little fawn |
if he is sportsman and if the hunter
does not take time enough to see
the object Of his aim is a
fawn or mature animal he is liable
10 shoot a human being. With the
elimination Of the buck law for which
,ne of the strongest arguments ad-
sanced by its advocates is the safe
guarding of the lives Of fellow hunt
,rs, let us be thankful that the fawn
aw, besides the obvious reason for its
may be safety first

whose first experience in handling
Ugh power gun comes with the open

GO TELL IT TO THE MARINES

| New York, Nov. 8--Listen! If yol
"tell it to the Marines" be quite sur
you have it right, for that warrint
amphibian is not the credulous per
sonage you have always supposed hin
to be. United States Marine Corp
officers have traced the famous say

Pepys, of the Diary renown, the orig
inal "first nighter," who tells us thai
the saying had origin with Charles ii
the merry monarch of England.
at so befell," the story goes, "that
his light-hearted Majesty, with an ex.
ceedingly bored expression on his
swarthy face, was walking in the
shade with the ingenious Mr.. Pepys
secretary to the Admiralty"
81 had speech yesterday at Dept
ford" said Mr.. Pepys, with the Cap
tain of the Defyance, who hath but
lately returned from the Indies, and
who told me the two most wonderful
things that ever | think | did hear in
my life." Among the stories told
were of fish flying in the air.
Fish flying in the air" exclaimed
his Majesty. "Ha, ha, quaint con-
ceit, which 'twere too good to spoil
wi keeping. What, sir" Che turned
and beckoned to the Colonel, Sir Will
liah Killigrew, of the newly raised
maritime regiment on foot, who was
following, in close conversation with
the Duke of York; 1--WE would dis
course with you on matter touching
your element. What say you, Colonel,
to a man who swears he hath seen
fishes fly in the air ?"
81 should say, SIRE" returned the sea
soldier, simply, "that the man hath
sailed in Southern seas. For when
your Majesty's business carried me
hither of late | did frequently observe
more flying fishes in one hour than
the hairs of my head in number"
Old Rowley glanced narrowly at the
Colonel's frank, weather-beaten face.
Then, with a laugh, he turned to the
secretary and said: "Mr. Pepys, from
the very nature of their calling no
class of our subjects can have so wide
a knowledge of seas and lands as the
officers and men of our loyal maritime
regiment. Henceforth, whenever we
,ast doubt upon a tale that lacketh

VERMONT FORESTRY DEPT
OFFERS PRIZE TO LUMBER co.

In order to reduce the danger Of fire
after numbering, the Vermont For
estry Department is introducing
novel method. In New York there is
a law requiring all lumbermen to lop
the branches from trees when cut so
that they will reach the ground and
speedily decay. There is no such law
in Vermont and it is the practice
among our lumbermen to leave the
ground covered with slash in such a
way that it soon becomes very dry
and is almost sure to burn in time.
Lumbermen are interested in protect
ing their uncut forests from fire, but
as a rule seem to care very little what
happens to their land after cutting.
During the past few years the State
has been called upon TO pay several
thousand dollars for extinguishng
large fires which were really due to
the carelessness Of land owners in
leaving llIt HulSdHCt'
In order to encourage the proper
disposal Of slash the State Forester
offers a prize to the lumber company
that makes the best disposition of its
slash during the winter of 1876.
The prize offered is the maintenance
during the fire season Of 1916 Of
state or federal patrolman to protect
the holdings of the company making
the best effort to protect itself. This
patrolman will be in addition TO the
regular force which has been main
tanned the past two years.
In offering this prize the Forestry
does not impose any i'm
possible conditions. 1t does not speci-
ry in what way the slash shall be dis
posed of. 1t does not require that the
slash throughout cutting shall be
disposed Of II may be on a strip
.long the edge of the cutting. 1t is,
however, stated that no applicants
will be considered who have not made
ome disposal of slash over an area OF
t least 100 acres. All companies de-
iring TO be considered in this contest
hould notify the Forestry Depart
nent before March Is, 1916, in order
hat their lands may be inspected be-
ore the spring fire season.
