Immediate Action Urged.

The members of the committee in
statement issued today stated that they
had tried hard to mail one Of these
letters to every secret society in the
tri-cities, East Moline, Bettendorf, Sill
Wis and the other surrounding towns,
but that it was possible that few had
been missed. However, if this con-
dition exists, the committee wishes it
understood that they are extended the
same invitation and the association
will highly appreciate the cooperation
OF every one Of the organizations.
The committee also calls attention
to the fact that the time for the work
is extremely short, only three weeks
remaining before the y celebration is
opened, and asks that the lodges make
every effort to secure immediate ac-
ton. 1t will probably be necessary to
call special meetings for several of
them because the regular meeting
nights occur toward the last of the
week

WALKING FERN GROWS HERE
Is Native Of the United States and Is
Found as Far West as State
of Kansas.

The walking fern, some specimens
of which have been installed at the
Chi1dren's Museum of the Brooklyn
institute, is a native Of the United
States. It found in certain localities
of the eastern states and westward to
Kansas, usually growing on moscow
cred rocks, or near the bases of cliffs.
Because Of it's peculiar manner Of
growth, it has been given Latin names
meaning "fruit-dot" and roofing leaf -
writes Miss M. S. Draper In the Chill
drens Museum News.
The fronds, when fully developed,
are from six to twelve Or fifteen
inches long, their tips reaching down
into the moss or crevices of the rocks,
where they develop young plants Of
two or three tiny fronds At a later
stage, a mass of fine rootlets forms
and holds the little rosette in posi-
ton. After several months, the long
frOnd to which the little plant is at
tached becomes withered, and the
young fern sends out fronds which
produce new plants. 1t is said that
in few years a single plant under
favorable conditions will develop into
a whole colony.

SUNLIGHT AS A GERMIClDE
Should BE Used as Part of General
Processes of House Cleaning
Air Bedding Weekly.

Sunlight is a great germicide. Our
pio,eer grandmothers did not know
much about germs, but they acted on
modern principles when they hung
their milk pals and strainers In the
sun ito sweeten," as they said.
Sunlight, as we'll as fresh air, should
be used as a part of the general pro-
cesses of house cleaning. The thrifty
habit of shutting out the sun in or
der to keep carpets and draperies from
fading indicates large degree of ig-
norance of modern methods of santa
tion
The airing and summing Of bedding
every week. all the year round, is q
most important part Of good house
Ike 2, but one which is much neg
lecto~ especially by women who live
in fats, where science Is very often
sacrificed to esthetics
Therefore 1t becomes imperative
that at housekeeping time the under
side Of rugs, carpets, mattresses and
cushions should be exposed to the sun
and air for as long a period as posi-
BILE
Sunlight is free to all
Plants will not thrive without it.
Animals love to bask in it.
Only man shuns it and by doing SC
he incurs unnecessary danger from tu-
berculosis and other diseases.

Our Next Serial

1.-THE Iydl of Twin Fires" by Walter
Prichard Eaton, the first installment of
which will soon appear in our columns,
is a story unusual and "homey"-one
Of the kind that takes the reader
right into it and carries him along
with its people as one of them and
with them. Few men and women have
not felt at some time In their lives the
thrill of digging, planting, homebuild-
ing, and to those who have not this
idyl will bring some feeling of the Joy
that comes to all who have heard the
call Of the land. You will love the
lovers. too. They are wholesomely
human and delightful. And when you
lay the last installment down you will
feel as you do after a walk through
fields and woods in the fresh and heal
ing air Of the countryside

State Fair Making Ready.

While much has already taken place
in planning the details of the Vermont
State fair to be held at White River
Junction September IL, Is, IA and Is,
the real activity of preparation is now
under way in the Office of Secretary
Davis. Last year, owing to the qaran-
tine on shipping cattle from other
states into Vermont. the cattle exhibit
was confined to the New England
states. This condition does not apply
this year and the state fair commission
again makes competition open to the
country. So large are the entries
already made, it may be stated, eight
weeks before the dates of the fair,
that the cattle exhibit will tax the full
capacity of the exhibition stalls. A
greater number of states will be repre-
sented than at any previous state fair.
A change of policy will take place in
conducting the trotting events The
stake races have been reduced to two
and it is believed that this change will
result in better races and greater
number of entries.

One who could closely observe Sena-
tor Page at the Greater Vermont
association banquet states that the
Senator's fan was weighing at about
the rate of one beat a second previous
to the time Governor Gates arose to
welcome the association and its guests
to the state. AS the governor arose
and the applause grew greater and
still greater the Senator's fan beats
grew faster and faster and faster until
it was one futter. AS the tremendous
applause subsidized and the governor sat
down, the fan resumed it's normal
pulsations. It's mean trick some
people have of watching one so closely
at such times.

No man with drop of patriotic
blood flowing in his veins could help
but receive enthusiasm and inspiration
from attendance upon the meeting of
the Greater Vermont association in
Montpelier last week and it's celebra-
ton of the 125th anniversary of Yer
mont's Joining the Union. AS the news
columns of this issue tell, the array
of Vermont and near-Vermont talent
was possibly the largest that was ever
assembled in the state at one time
Remarks were highly compliment
tary to Vermont but above all
were filled with a spirit of loyalty and
sincerity that counted for much. The
association should receive great impe-
tus from this meeting and its useful
ness should be extended and it's influ-
ence broadened until old Vermont will
shake and tremble with the power this
association exerts. Montpelier die
herself proud in entertaining her many
guests on this occasion.

GREAT DAY FOR VERMONT.

Vermont's 125th anniversary of adj
mission to statehood was the occasion
Wednesday of last week Of one of the
most notable state gatherings held in
Vermont in many years. The celebra-
tion was under the direction of the
Greater Vermont association, and every
town and city in Vermont of any size
was represented by an enthusiastic dele
cation. Fully 1000 people are esti-
mated to have come to this ci ty for the
celebration. The hotels were crowded
from cellar to attic, the garages were
packed with closely serried lines of
rum was filled for the afternoon ses-
sion.
The evening banquet was the closing
event of the day, nearly 700 guests
and enthusiastic Vermonters sitting
down to dinner with fully as many
more, including visiting ladies and
their guests, in the balconies. Home
coming Vermonters were prominent in
the exercises, Charles Gleed, John c.
Barrett, George B. M. Harvey and
Judge Wendell Phillips Stafford being
among the honored former residents,
while such names as those of Geo
Hustis, Gov Samuel w. Mccall and
Theodore N. Vail lent an air of distinc.
ton to the program.
A feature of the forenoon was the
frank bid for political support for a
favorite candidate made by former
Gov. Edward Curtis Smith, who closed
his address by an appeal to his hearers
to keep true Vermonters in Office and
to retain the mountain rule.
The meeting of the Greater Ver-
mont Association opened at 2 o'clock
| in the armory with President Frederick
K. Babbitt of Bellows Falls presiding.

sion. his address referring to Vermont
history. The other speakers at the af-

miral Robert E. Peary of the United
States navy, and John C. Barrett,
director general of the Pan Ameri-
can Congress. The speakers at the
banquet held in the auditorium of

The arrival of the German under sea
craft with cargo of merchandise and
her proposed return with commercial
cargo, and the announcement that
other merchant submarines are coming
from Germany is an incident in the
world S history worthy of more than
passing mention, though as related to
the war the event is not one which
means great things for Germany or a
very great blow to her enemy. 1t is
hardly likely that fleet of these
vessels large enough to establish any
thing like the former trade Germany
had with America and other ports is
possible. 1t may be possible that
with the Inflated price of certain COM
modities here and in Germany some
merchandise may be carried across the
Atlantic with profit and even might
ease high points in both nations where
relief is most needed. Any consid-
cradle fleet Of these craft would find
difficulties with the vigilant navy OF
Great Britain. Nevertheless the DOS
sibility Of transatlantic under sea
travel and commerce is fascinating.
Germany Jugs off the honors, making
such enterprise possible. Announce
ment that air craft are being built in
Germany with which to cross to Amer
ica with freight should not be discard
ed as fairy tales. Such feat seems
possible.
