said: "Do you know all there is to

The front page dazzles you." "May-
be-" she said, "but there is more to

About two weeks ago a Windsor
county farmer discovered that his
meadows were being overrun with
grasshOppers and he Immediately wrote
the editor of the Rural New Yorker.
asking him what could be done to
destroy the pest. The editor promptly
wrote the Vermont Agricultural college
and the authorities got in communica-
ton with Harold L. Bailey, the state
entomologist of our agricultural de-
partment. Within a week from the
time the farmer discovered the grass
hopper plague Mr.. Bailey was on his
farm and giving successful demon
stration of how the ravenous insects
could be killed. This is fair sample
of the efficiency of the department of
agriculture in our state, and we only
wish that every member of the last
legislature who was opposed to giving
Commissioner Brigham more money
for his splendid work could be made to
realize that all the money that he asked
for is none too much for the growing
needs of his work.
The above from the Springfield Re-
porter calls to mind the well-known
fact that comparatively few farmers
take advantage of the aid the state
and federal governments stand ready
and willing to give. Why did not the
farmer above go to the government in
the first place with his problem? Of
course the paper was glad to pass it
along but it is surprising how many
farmers ask the editor of their local or
farm paper things which the editor
simply turns over to the agricultural
department, waiting to lend aid to our
agriculture. More farmers should tell
more of their problems to the govern
ment and get free and correct and
immediate help.

Local Option Aided from Outside.

The voters of Vermont are called to
act on an important question when
statewide prohibition and the local
option law come before them next
March. 1t is serious question.
There are many strong temperance
men who have found the present law
much the best Vermont has tried and
prefer to trust it to the proposed state
wide prohibition. AS a matter of
principle all interested in temperance
should vote for the new law. If the
local option law was backed only by
Vermonters we should feel much differ
ent but with the aid and influence of
liquor interests, it is difficult for one
who believes in prohibition, although
he recognizes it's good points. to vote
with such support for local option. The
statewide prohibition law has one bad
feature. 1t makes no provision for the
sale by druggists of liquor for medicinal
and mechanical use. If it is defeated
at the referendum next March we
believe it will be owing largely to this
omission. -Groton Times.

The American Machinist of May 6
carries two-page advertisement. the
Christian Herald tells US, of the Cleve-
land Automatic Machine company of
Cleveland, O., which tells of the
advantage of a shell their machines
will make which is filled with acid
which adheres to pieces of the shell
when it explodes and brings about an
agonizing death in a few hours if
medical attendance cannot be had at
once. Is this the fruit of modern
warfare? Has civilization taken such
a step backward that we not only
read of the slaughter and destruction
without turning our heads but are
actually ready to invent, exploit and
sell new and horrible means of killing
human lives? Here is little extract
from the advertisement.
THE combination of these two acids
causes terrible explosion, having more
power than anything of its kind yet
used. Fragments become coated with
these acids in exploding and wounds
caused by them mean death in terrible
agony within four hours if not attend
ed Immediately.
''From what we have been able to
learn of conditions in the trenches, it
is not possible to get medical assist
ance to anyone in time to prevent fatal
results. It is necessary to immediate
ly cauterize the wound if in the body
or head, to amputate if in the limbs as
there seems to be no antidote that will
counterfeit the poison.
at can be seen from this that this
she'll is more effective than the regular
shrapuell. since the wounds caused by
shrapnell balls and fragments in the
muscles are not as dangerous as they
have no poisonous elements, making
prompt attention necessary"

ARMY STEAMER
LEFT FOR TAMPA
THE GENERAL GEO. H. WEEKS,
AFTER UNDERGOING REPAIRS,
STEAMED YESTERDAY FOR
HER OLD STATION.

After spending about a couple Of
weeks here undergoing repairs, the
army steamer General Geo. H. Weeks,
which had been moored at the east
side Of Palafox wharf, cast off lines
early yesterday and started on her
way to Tampa, where the steamer is
stationed.
Repairs were made to this vessel
at the quartermaster landing, it being
reported that the vessels depth was
too great to permit her taking berth
at the Gulf Machine wharf, and there
was no available berth in the slip
which the Weeks could occupy.
This is the third army steamer
which came here for repairs, and a
fourth one, it was reported yester-
day, would shortly come for extern
sive repairing.

STORY TELLING
ON RECORDS.

The interest Of Story Telling as a
means of recreation for children and
their elders has grown greatly since
the first classes were started several
years ago, when that delightful Irish
Scotch story teller, Searnus McMan-
us started the fashion in this country
What at first babe fair to be merely
a fad or simple means of gaining
the attention Of the children, and
directing their thought into proper
channels, has become not only a
source of pleasure and education for
the younger generation, but their
elders are finding these story telling
periods so full of interest and the
possibilities so great, that the classes
for grown people are quite as many
as those for the little folks.
Mrs. James r. Philips, whose efforts
along these lines have so marked an
impetus to the work in Pensacola, and
who is president of the Story Tellers
League recently formed in this city,
has written to a number of other
leagues, and finds the work growing
wonderfully, all over the country with
marked increase in interest in our
own state. In Tallahassee at the State
Normal, the Story hour has become
daily pleasure each evening after
the days study, finding the students
gathered on the campus, where the
story hour has become regular close
to the day. The hour is full of charm
and interest, while the informal man
ner in which the programs are carried
out adds to their pleasure, and the
benefit that results. For story telling
to be at its best must be in great
measure spontaneous.
One fact which points to the
growth of interest in story telling
in the United States, is the use of re-
cords which are being made of stories
told by men and women who have
attained prominence in this are. One
of these, Miss Pauline Potter, who is
known for her Biblical stories, has
recently Incorporated in her repertoire
some of the old simple fairy tales that
all children love, and on the phono-
graph records now one may hear Miss
Potter tell the stories of Cinderella.
The Three Bears and other nursery
favorites.
Mrs. Phillips, commenting on the
work that is being accomplished in
Pensacola, said that the interest was
most encouraging, and there is every
evidence that the story telling hour
are appreciated, not only by the child

can be worked in chine ribbon or very
coarse rope silk on a net foundation,
or it can be carried out in mercerized
cotton on a linen background Again,
in the twist silks or very fine satin
cords it looks we'll embroidered on
taffeta. In fact, the design has prac-
ticaily no limitations, and the woman
of inventive mind will soon discover
several of the many uses to which it
can be put.
The stitches used in its development
are the solid satin, outline and eyelet.
If one is getting up frock at short
notice, however, the lazy daisy stitch
could be substituted for the solid sat
in in making the flowers. This is
most effective when extreme sim
plicity is affected. 1t is easy to see
how effective this model would be on
a background of leaf brown taffeta or.
linen embroidered in brown and yell
low daisies, with foliage in dull green
and brown. Instead of eyelets, French
knots could be used for the centers
OF the figures formed by the inter-
In case the design is used on net
with rope silk, it is we'll to remember
that to ernbroider successfully on net
one should mount the material to be
decorated on the paper on which the
design has been stamped. 1t is SIM
pie matter to transfer the pattern to
a piece of tissue paper, then place the
net over it. 1t is perfectly easy then
to work over the paper through the
net only. and afterwards loosen the
paper from the back.
Never was there greater demand for
a touch of black upon the costume
than 1nere is this season. For this
very reason the eyelets provided for
the neck of this design will be well
come. They should be carefully
worked, so that black velvet ribbon
string tie can be laced through them
and finished at the front in a simple
bow. Sometimes instead of being tied
at all the smart dressmakers simply
hold the strings of ribbon together
with a clasp and finish the ends with
imitation pearls or small round beads
OF course, the scallops are worked in
buttonhole stitch, and needless to say
that this work must be done with
mathematical precision, because of the
conspicuous part the scaIlops play, not
only in the design of the pattern, but
in the trimming of the frock. An
edging of f1ne iace-either val or
cluny-may be added if desired. This
protects the scallops and lends veFy
soft finish to the neck arrangement
Equally attractive and less expensive
is a simple fold of the dress material
placed under the edge of the scallops
If decided contrast is preferred, a
background of black velvet ribbon OF
satin may be added to bring out the
beauty of the sca1lops.

and described herein, together with

PARLIAMENTARY LAW CLASS
GREAT SUCCESS.

The interest that is being shown
in the Parliamentary Law Class of
the Civic League, which is now hold
ing weekly meetings under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Robert Stout, demon
strates very conclusively not only that
women are finding this study of
value in their club work, but also that
they do not find the classes at all
dull. On the pleasant lawn of the
secretary of the Civic League the
class meets each week, and Tuesday
afternoon found the usual number
gathered together for the drill in
Robots Rules and Order, which the
club has taken up for study.
More and more are women coming
to realize, the necessity of under
standing something of parliamentary
procedure, and the advisability of
saving time. and maintaining order
through the rules that should proper
ly govern all large bodies, and the
growth of the classes is not only de-
sirable but inevitable.
