FARM DEMONSTRATIONS.
The County Agent Has One In Each
Town In the COunty-Spray-
ing Work.

The greater part of the past week
was spent in arranging demonstra-
tions. The county agent visited Lyn-
don, Wheelock, Sheffield, Peacham,
Burke, Newark and Kirby. UP to
the present time Is demonstrations
have been planned with alfalfa; 20
with soybeans; 26 with lime; with
oats Creating for smut); 5 with oats
(spraying for kale), and 8 with hay
(topdressing with chemicals). Every
town in the county has one or more
demonstrations. A few more demon
strations will be arranged with soy
beans and a few more with spraying
oats for kale.
The county sprayer will be confin-
ed to the towns of Danville, Walden,
Hardwick and Stannard. At least
two demonstrations will be conducted
in each town to show the effect Of
spraying oat fields with sulphate of
iron to eradicate kale. 1t would pay
a farmer or a group of farmers in
every community to own a sprayer,
which could be used for spraying po-
tatoes as well as for spraying to Grad
icate kale.

DELEGATION
Probably VIII Be Headed by II. N.
Vail and All Elected Without Con-
test at Montpelier Friday.

The state republican convention to
elect delegates to the national con-
vention to be held at Chicago June z,
will be held at Montpelier Friday of
this week. 1t looks now as though it
would be a love feast and the eight
delegates elected without contest
1t was learned yesterday that Stanley
G. Wilson of Chelsea, chairman of the
republican state committee, who had
been favorably mentioned as can
didate for a delegate, has withdrawn
his name. Yesterday George l.. Grid
ley of Windsor, who had announced
his candidacy as a delegate, telephon-
ed Fred Babbitt of Bellows Falls that
he would not contest with him for
the honor.
Another rumor circulated in the
southern section of the state was that
Hon. Alexander Dunnett of this place
would be a candidate. Mr.. Dunnett
said Tuesday evening that he would
not be a candidate. He will present
to the convention the name of T. N.
Vail as chairman Of the Vermont
delegation and it is expected he will
be unanimously elected to that posi-
ton.
1t looks now as though the delega-
ton will be made up as follows:
Theo n. Vail of Lyndon, George H.
Prouty of Newport, Hugh M. Jones of
Montpelier, Fred H. Babbitt of Bel
lows Falls, John T. Cushing of St
Adams, Guy w. Bailey of Essex juno
ton, E. r. Morse of Rutland and Col
Inns M. Graves of Bennington.
1t is probable the delegation will GO
uninstructed, but it is supposed every
member favors Hughes first.

DRYS MAY RUN BRYAN.
ProhibidOnists Would Nominate Him
If Democrats Refuse to Accept
Their Plank

Chicago, May 23.-If he will con-
sent, William J. Bryan may be select
ed as the presidential candidate of the
prohibition party. Recent statements
Of Mr.. Bryan in which he is quoted as
declaring that he had reached the
point where he could not longer be
associated with a party which refus-
ed to endorse national prohibition as
a party plank, have been brought for
ward by prohibition leaders. They
expressed the belief that If the DEM

the plan, Mr.. Bryan could have the
nomination Of the prohibition party at

GOV. GATES PLEASED WITH
MOBILIZATION OF MILITIA
Especial to The Caledonian.)

Mortified, May Glow. G. w.
Gates was well pleased with the ef-
fort of Col. Ira L. Reeves to mobilize
the First Vermont Regiment of in
fantry Saturday at Norwich univer-
sity. All companies were present ex-
cepting those of Springfield, Burling-
ton and Brattleboro. The work dem
onstrated that automobiles can be
used to a great advantage in prepar-
edness and brought out several points
that Col. Reeves wanted to know in
conjunction with the support which
the towns are giving the companies in
different parts of the state, also that
in some instances cars had to be over
loaded because there were not enough
of them, while in others there was a
sufficiency of cars. Having modified,
the regiment was given an Opportun-
ity to see what the cadets cen do in
drilling, one of the features being
steeple chasing, which resulted in
men getting thrown, although no in
juries occurred. Ex-Gov. Allen M.
Fletcher was present.

salesman, had q run-in with one of
Henry Ford's peace cars Saturday aft
ernoon. and as a result of the mix-up
Mr.. Kelley passed that night in
Brightlook hospital 1t was just after
the big parade that he started to cross
Railroad street near Leach & Water
mans store and coming from behind a
team stepped directly in front of one
of the buzz wagons that have made
Detroit famous. Mr.. Kelley was
knocked down and both wheels pass
ed over him, but luckily his injuries
were only superficial, consisting of a
bruised face and arm and strained lig-
aments in one leg.
He was unable to take his usual
part in the management of the big
exposition Saturday night. but was
about the street Sunday, although he
walked with a noticeable limp and
displayed a bandaged face.
1t is to the credit of the local police
that this was the only accident dur

lections Of manly and generous deeds
done in the flesh, and followed by an

LAD IS SENSATION
 OF GOLF TOURNAMENT
Bob Jones, Jr., of Atlanta, Defeats Pennsylvania State Champ in Handy
 Style and Meets Title Holder.

Philadelphia, Pa.. Sept G.-R. T. Bob" Jones, Jr, 15-year-old boy of Atlanta, Ga, is the surprise and sen- sation of the national amateur golf championship tournament which is being played at the Marion Cricket club, the Southern youngster working his way toward the finals by defeating today Frank w. Overs, Pennsylvania state champion, up and 2 to play.
 Perry Adair was eliminated today by c. c. Corkran of Baltimore. Adair was the other Atlanta boy in the tournament
 In order to defeat Dyer, Jones had to overcome lead of four holes gained in the first six played He did this, however, coming home in 34. despite six on the eighteenth, an easy par hole. This brand of golf won the match. This afternoon he won handily with 65 for sixteen holes, which ended the match. Had Jones played the bye holes. he probably would have had 153 for the days work. and thus would have tied the low medal score by Fownes in the qualifying round.
 Jones is paired tomorrow with Rob- ert Gardner, of Chicago the title holder Others who remain as con- tenders are Jesse Guilford of Boston, Gardner White of New York. John C. Anderson of New York. Charles (Chick) Evans, Jr., of Chica- go and c. B. Baxton of Philadelphia.

With one out, Cobb beat out hit to short. He stole second, when Hartley's low throw bounded into Marsan's hand. Cobb continued to third and beat the throw.
