Ii has been found that spraying with
a portable pump is the best way TO
use OIL. says Popular Science. Small
ponds. however. can be sprinkled out
of an ordinary watering pot with a
hose nozzle. or. for that matter, pour
ing out of n dippcr or cup will be sat

a straight nozzle may be used. A
straight stream will sink and then
rise, and the oil will spread until the
whole surface OF the water can be
covered without waste.
In choosing the grade Of oil to be
used two factors must be considered
it should spread rapidly and should
not evaporate too quickly. Heavier
grades Of oil will cling together In
spots. aud the coating will be neces-
sarily thick. 1t has been found that
one ounce of kerosene is sufficient to
cover fifteen square feet Of surface,
and in the absence of wind such film
will remain persistent for ten days.
Even after the iridescent scum appar-
emily disappears there is still an odor
of kerosene about the water. A mix
ture of crude oil and kerosene has been
found to be effective In killing mos
quito larvae. 1t has one advantage
over pure kerosene in that 1t does not
evaporate so quickly.
Special attention should be paid to
little pockets Of water that form
around the edges Of ponds, for 1t is
In such places where the water Is
not disturbed by wind or otherwise

stretches of water where the surface

With the opening Of the year will
come the converting of the legislature
and one of the most important things
it will have to do will be to elect the
justices of the supreme and superior
courts. The retirement Of Chief JUS
tice Munson will leave Bennington
county without member in the high
est court of the state. In view of this
fact The Journal would like to call the
attention of the members-elect Of the
next legislature to lawyer from
Bennington county well equipped
legally, mentally, morally and physic-
ally to uphold the traditions Of the
state, a man with 25 or 30 of the best
years of his life in front Of him, Hon
Robert Z, Healy Of Bennington. They
will honor themselves and the State
of Vermont too if they select Mr..
Healy.

Aendie. scattering the doomed French
settlers down the Atlantic coast.
That incident Of barbari'y gave
LongfcIl0w the inspiration for his
first great poem, which was printed
60 years ago last month.
Still stands the forest primeval, but
under the shades Of its branches
DvoIls another race with other Gus
toms and language;
Only along the shore Of tho mournful
and misty Atlantic
I.inygr n few Acadian peasants whose
fathers from exile
Wandered back 70 their native land to
die in is bosom.
There isn't any such thing as a nice
war Every one has in it elements
Of savagery.
Those Christian folks up in Massa-
chusctts once caught 700 Indians in a
rude fertilization. Did they allow
the Pequots TO surrender
No; what they did was TO burn the
works, preventing with their muskets
the doomer prisoners from escape.
Only FIVE Indians of the roo, according
to Historian John Fiske, got away.
And dear old Pennsylvania, which in
Colonial times was chicken with pacif-
lists, thought il good business to pay
Indian murderers $75 for warriors
scalp, also a fair but smaller price for
woman's scalp and few dollars for
a baby Indians scalp.
Doesn't sound lovely, does it? but
the Assembly of Pennsylvania, in
which were many respectable men who
became ancestors of many other re-
spectacle persons, figured out that the
cheapest way to prevent wars with In
dians was to kill the redskins when
they were infants.
And the Father of Our Country, too,
ordered a ruthless bit of war. Com
PEELED by necessity, Of course, but still
he did it.
Washington sent General John Sui
livan with an army into the Genesee
country of New York State with direc-
tions to sweep it clean. And no ty-
phoon ever dashed the China Sea more
than Sullivan desolated the
land of the lroquois.
He burned dozens Of towns, includ-
ing every dwelling; chopped down
of apple trees that had taxi
IN the Indians years to grow, and tore
I'D by the roots or burned hundreds of
acres of corn.
We all hate to remember Anderson
vile, but there it stands in history. 1t
,annot be blotted out-the sign of
nate not of one race against foreign
ace. but of one American against an
,ther American.
