Votes For Women Meeting.
The Votes for Women meeting, held
Wednesday afternoon on Mrs. Fanny
Dixon WeICh's spacious and beautiful
lawn at Noxid by the lake was in every
sense a success. The weather was
perfect, the place and surroundings
ideal. The Foster band furnished
music. and a NictrOla, installed on the
broad veranda, furnished its share of
entertainment. The speakers were DR..
Faleria H. Parker Of Greenwich and
Mrs. Edward O. Porritt of Hartford,
who spoke upon different phases of
the Woman Suffrage question. Or.
Parker spoke Of need Of better physi-
cal and moral conditions in the care
and treatment of the helpless. A
woman reformatory is greatly needed.
These needed institutions are difficult
to get until women can vote. At the
close of DR.. Parker's address the band
played a selection, and Miss Grace
Randall of this place gave a reading
entitled, The Third Ingredient" one
OF O'Henry's stories. Mrs. POlTitt
spoke along the line of what woman
suffrage had accomplished in the
states where il has beer granted. The
people in these states pronounce it a
success. Why shouldn't it be a sue
cess in Connecticut? After the speak
ing ice cream was on sale by the
Ladies' Aid society and lemonade was
furnished by Mrs. WEIGH. About two

ENGLAND is HARAsSED
ABNORMAL WEATHER
A Sunny Day is Regarded as an Event
Same on the Continent.

London, August 4-Next to the war
the abnormal weather which has har-
assed England so far this year is the
most talked of thing in the country.
A sunny day so far this season is an
event. The same holds true of all
northern Europe where weather Of this
kind resembling March has prevailed
throughout June and July. In Russia,
there has been an unusual amount Of
rain and excessive cold. In Moscow
up to the middle of July there had
been no sign of summer or of the hot
weather which generally sets in before
June. In Scandinavia the weather las
been cherries and very similar to that
in this country. In southern Germany
violent rains have fallen and Lake
Constance is abnOrmally high, while
in Austria there have been tremend-
Gus storms.
South of the Alps excessively hot
weather has been reported for many
weeks. In Sardinia there has been
heat wave which has been followed by
forest fires.

FREIGHT CONGESTION AT
VLADIVCsTOK is RELIEVED
Two Hundred Cars Are Leaving Daily
for Siberia and Russia.

vIadivostok, Aug. 1.-Two hundred
cars are leaving NIadivostok daily for
Siberia and Russia, with the result
that the freight congestion has been
relieved. Private cargo, as we'll as
government supplies, is now moving.
Recently there has been a slackness in
government supplies. Consequently
the goods of commercial concerns have
moved with considerable freedom.
Many additional slips for ships have
been arranged in the haTbor, but this
has not increased the capacity of the
port for the general trade to any con-
siderable extent as heavy railroad
supplies coming from the United States
monopolize the quays much of the
time.

stop to lunch and get drink from the

at Batavia a while then on to Niagara

tertained and shown about the city;
visited the Ford and Packard auto
mobile works, and other points of in
terest. Friday morning started for
Plainwen, which was the hardest part
of the journey, 81 miles out of De-
troit. 1t was sand and the heat was
just awful Roads not as good as in

journey out.

When he Iaboriously transpIanted
those maple saplings from the forest
into his roadside border. did Thomas
Bowman realized what legacy OF use
fuIness and comfort and beauty he
was preparing for those of his blood
who should come after?
If his consciousness still endures in
some dim zone of the mysterious Be-
yond, does he now appreciate the
gratitude in which his memory is held
by those who gather during summer
heat tides, under the cooling shadows
his forethought provided-a gratitude
none the less real though it may not
find outlet in formal vOiCing?
I sincerely hope that he does; that
he knows, in some way, how great and
long enduring a good he did, way
back in that early year of the 180Os
when he tamped the moist dirt around
the roots of his trnsplanted saplings
and tied them to stakes so no high
wind should blow them out of the
perpendicular.
I hope he knows how much obliged
I am to him. For, though I have no
owners right in any of his trees nor
in any of their surroundings, their
shade CmOre blessed than any
shadow Of a great rock in a weary
land") are mine whenever I pass un-
der them on my way to the village,
and their massed upheaVal of green
ery- bastioning the blue distance al
ways as I look northward from ny
own fields. is an inspiration and
benedictiOn.

THE CULTIVATION OF TREES A PAYING
INDUSTRY

we'll, naturally. Among them may be
mentioned the white pine, red pine,
Norway spruce, hemlock, red, white
and black oaks, chestnut, locust white
and black ash, hickory, black cherry,
Eastwood poplar, ETC., all of which are
valuable for timber. Some seem to
choose one locality, some another.
They have their likings in the matter
of soil and exposure as truly as small
er crops But from the list may al
ways be selected such as will do well
in any given neighborhood. Chestnut
planting might well be ignored for the
present or until some means has been
disease. Black locust, also, which pro-
d1ces posts of exceptional value, is
sadly subject to the attacks of a borer
for controlling which no practical
means have yet been devised. Hickory
and white oak grow so slowly that one
generation can seldom expect to see
saplings develop into lumber produc-
ing trunks. Butternut makes a fine
furniture wood, almost equal to it's
brother black walnut. Both, however,
are rather CLANCY" trees 70 start and
inclined to grow irregularIy in many
localities.
But white pine, red pine, Norway
spruce and red oak have all been sue
cessfully grown in plantations in New
England. There is nothing expert
mental about them. They have actual
ly been grown and are now growing
in artificially refOrested patches. All
four will make marketable lumber in
25 years, or sometimes less.

Thinking of those trees has also set
me thinking of trees as farm crop.
Right in my neighbOThOOd, Nature has
provided us with all the woodland,
ready stocked, which we could rea-
sOnablv ask But all over New Eng
land there are scattered areas which
are worthless for plOwlands, unprOf-
liable even for pasture, but perfectly
capable of producing again, as they
once did, good growths Of timber.
These areas may be on inaCCessi-
BILE SUBMITS: or on an unCultiVatable
hillsides: or lands so rocky as to battle
the rloy: or mere hooks and corners
cut off from the rest of the farm by
a road or a brook: or patches Of
land so pr. so sravely. so worn-out
that it won't pay for trying to raise
ordinary farm crops.
N such places why not plant trees?
Plant them around the home for
beauty and comfort, if you will, but
plant them in such places as these lat
ter for profit and as crop?
We all have read about various re-
forestation projects, and occasionally
we hear how the government or some
rich landowner has put thousands of
otherwise useless acres into timber
trees. Perhaps some of us have got
the idea that only those possessed Of
limitless resources. like the govern
ment or some muIti-millionaires can
afford to tackle such a job.
Statistics. however, show that
farmers,-plain common farmers like
you and I-are responsible for about
nine-tenths of all the forest pIanta-
tions in the United States. It is true
that almost nine-tenths of this plant
ing has been on the treeless spaces
Of the Middle West, where farmers
were compelled to plant trees for need
ed fuel and timber or for wind breaks.
But those VINO planted for that pur-
pose thirty or forty years ago, when
they took up honest eads as young
men, are now, as old men, cutting
valuable crops Of lumber.
II isn't an expensive business. other
than for the labor involved, this re-
foresting land In this state, as we'll
as our neighbors of New York, Massa-
chusetts and Vermont, if forest seed
ings are not more readily obtaina-
BILE from local woods, they are dis
tributed by the state itself. / quote
from a late report on the subject:
THE initial cost Of establishing a
forest plantation is not great, and, ex-
Cept to keep out fires, the trees do not
need attention after the first two or
three years. In themselves the trees
are source of protection to the farm
buildings near which they are plant
ed; they increase the value of the
farm and their products are a source
Of considerable revenue to the owner.
It seems certain that in the future
many farmers will be forced to raise
their own timber for general farm
use or else pay an almost prohibitive
price for if. In some sections of the
country the price Of posts has doubled
In the last fifteen years and may be
expected to double again in the next
fifteen"
In the New England states there is
4 well defined list Of :rees which Do
