After the adjournment of the general
caucus, which convened at o'clock, a
tentative slate TO include candidates for
the wards was composed and the voters
repaired to their several bailiwicks to
ratify the nominees endorsed earlier in
the evening. The second ward is to be
without Socialist aldermanic candidate
this year, as the voters did not meet. In
ward four Clyde H. Reynolds was nom
mated to stand as an aldermanic candi-
date and in ward six Paul Hedwall is the
aldermanic nominee. Socialists did not
nominate a candidate for the school
board in the sixth ward, but down in
ward five Socialists will have an oppor-
tunity to vote for John T. Callaghan.

MONTPELIER
High School Humbled Peoples Academy,
AZ to "a, Last Evening.

Superior teamwork and the wonderful
shooting of Clark and Gross enabled
MONTPELIER high school to defeat Peoples
academy in the interscholastic basket
ball league in the armory hall last even
ing by the score of AZ to "a, blasting the
hopes of the Morrisville five for the
championship and at the same time max
ing up in part for the defeat sustained
at the academy teams hands in their
home bailiwick two weeks ago. Al
though the locals obtained a big lead
from the start and held it to the finish
the game was fast and interesting all
the way and the work of Ward at guard
for the visitors stood out conspicuously
along with the ability of the two local
forwards to cage the ball.
Clark made no less than ii baskets
from the floor and he was closely fol-
lowed by Capt. Gross, who had to his
credit eight. Towne made FIVE, the ma
jority of them long shots which went in
Clearly. The score at the end of the
first 20 minutes of play stood n to IL
and nearly Is minutes was played before
the visitors made a single basket from
the floor.
This week has been most unfortunate
for the Morrisville five, which met de-
feat at st. Johnsbury by 10 to 10
score. With Peoples academy eliminat
ed as a contender, Stowe, Burlington
high and Montpelier loom up as the big
three in the league with the Queen City
team having the best chance to run
away with the pennant.

1t was announced at the SEMI

dustrial hall, that $312.12 had been
raised for the defense fund of the fed
GRAFTON through the sale of tags on La

Retiring-Was Last Seen Leaving
for Work Wednesday.

Irwin Broendel, Is years old. 1919
Sixth avenue, is missing, and has been
since Wednesday morning. His moth
er, grieved by her sons sudden disap-
| pearance, is in very serious condi-
ton and Is under the doctors care.
Irwin was last seen last "Wednesday
morning as he left the house for work
at the Rock Island Sash and Door
works, where he has been constantly
employed since early last spring. An
appeal was made by his older brother
to The Argus to help find the missing
boy
The brother described Irwin as a
bashful and modest lad one who would
not think of running away from home
or going "out to see the world" un-
less led on by a companion. Irwin
is about five feet two inches tall,
weighs in the neighborhood of lis
pounds, has light hair and is of light
complexion. When last seen he was
wearing his working clothes which
| slippers, white sox, and dark suit of
clothes. His folk are not sure of the
kind of hat he wore.
| Efforts of relatives and friends to
| locate Irwin have all proven futile but
at the same time have resulted in the
all important fact being brought to
! light that the boy has been thinking
considerably of late about entering a
cross-country hike. Some of his close
companions told the brother that Irwin
had frequently mentioned to them that
| he intended to walk to Kansas City in
! Is hours and win $500. Where he con-
ceived the idea neither the friends of
| Irwin nor his brother could under
| stand. but they are puzzled by the
thought coming as it does just before
| his sudden and Unexplainable disap-
| pearance.
Police Investigating,
| If Irwin has met with foul play, and
! the police are busy at work investi-
eating the probability of that theory,
| the matter is made more complicated
but if he is hiking" to Kansas City or
| elsewhere or out seeing the world as
thousands of other boys have done, he
| will be a wise lad to hurry back to his
mothers arms and attempt to make
/ up for causing the worry that has
| placed her own life in danger.

part paris green mixed with twenty to
thirty parts Of air slaked lime or -four
and used as dust spray affords the
best results on young plants. 1t should
be used when the dew is on by means
of powder guns or dust spray ma
chimes.
The paris green spray, prepared by
mixing one pound of paris green with
20 to 125 gallons Of water and the ad-
dition Of pound Of quicklime to the
mixture, makes an effective spray.
This spray will burn vines if the quick
lime is omitted.
For the proper mixing and applica-
ton of this spray bucket pump or
knapsack sprayer of good quality is
sufficient for use In small gardens, but
on large scale potato sprayer to be
drawn by horses through the rows of
plants is necessary.
"Arsenate of lead serves the same
purpose as the paris green, a pound

TRACTOR VERSUS HORSE.

Machine Is Far More Economical Than
the Animal, 1t 10 Stated.
That the tractor, which is gradually
replacing the horse on modern farms
and extensive ranges Of the west,
would quickly come into more general
use if its economy was realized is the
view of a writer in the Independent.
More than one-fifth Of the cultivated
land Of the country is required to feed
the horses on the farms, he says, and
these horses work only three hours
each day. 1t costs $3.50 a year to feed
a team of horses. One-third of the
farmers in Tompkins county, N. Y,
made less than 5000 for their years
work in 1907, and the average la
Dor income for 1911 in three typical
and prosperous counties in Illinois, In
diana and Iowa was only $40S. A team
of horses is said to cost more than the
average farmer makes in year. He
says that farm work can only be done
economically when the farmer is direct.

sented in the tractor. A negro driving
donkey to small pillow uses as much
energy and costs his employer as much
as If he were driving great tractor
which draws sixteen ten inch plows,
three six foot harrows and seeder.
Such an outfit will plow. harrow and
seed seventy-five acres in day.
A method has been devised by which
the machine may be guided by a line
from the steering device to a small
drum on pole planted in the center
Of circular field. AS the tractor
moves around the circumference Of the
circle the line wraps about the drum
and each revolution brings it little
nearer to the center, and it thus works
the field in cOncentric circles by it.
self. This presentation of the case
for the tractor, however, takes no &C.
count of it's disadvantages, which,
while being gradually overcome, are
still present. The tractor represents
a considerable outlay to the man on a
small farm. Often he cannot afford
to make the Investment required, and
If he could afford it there is a question
whether the use of machine would be
profitable on farm where the work
could easily be done by a pair of
horses. In addition. there are deprecia-

from repair shops, fuel cost and capital
investment to be taken into considera-

tractor can be built to sell at an ex-
tremely low cost the use of motor
power for the hard labor on farms will
probably become general. but until
then some dependence will have to be
