Public Asked TO Act at Once
TO Save White Pines

State nursery inspectors, state for
esters and other official representa-
tives from New Hampshire, Vermont,
New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode ISL
and and Massachusetts, met at Fall
River, Mass, Sept. 25th, at the invi-
tation Of the Massachusetts state
board Of agriculture, to examine
serious outbreak of the white; pine
blister rust on native white pine.
This examination proved plainly 10
all that the blister rust is a deadly
enemy Of the white pine.
Reports given by the representa-
tives of the states showed that the
white pine blister rust is already
widely prevalent throughout the New
England states and eastern New
York, and as this dangerous disease
uses the currant and gooseberry as
host plant to grow upon, and spreads
very rapidly from currant to currant
and from the currant to the pine, it
was the unanimous opinion of all
present that as the only way to avert
the impending catastrophe, and save
the white pine, would be through a
complete destruction of all currant
and gooseberry bushes and Towering
currants, the public should be given
this information at once.
This disease was brought into the
United States from Europe on white
pine seedlings. In the spring the
spores or seeds are blown by the wind
from diseased pines to the currant
and gooseberry leaves. The seeds
terminate, penetrate the leaf tissues
and produce q rust on the under side
of the leaves in late summer and fall.
The leaves produce millions of tiny
spores or seeds capable of injecting
the pines, which once thoroughly in
fected cannot recover.
The currant and gooseberry leaves
in large areas throughout the New
England States and eastern New
York are now infected with the bis
ter rust in the stage when it returns
to the white pine, and the Immediate
removal of currant and gooseberry
bushes is necessary to save our white
pine trees. It is especially urgent
| that all black and Towering currant
/ bushes within half mile of white
| pine should be destroyed at once
| since these varieties are particularly
susceptible to the disease.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
States Publicity Policy Pays.

It takes more than one year to de-
termine how scheme will work out
Our publicity work as state may
have seemed unimportant at first but
now we are reaping the benefit of
years of keeping steadily at it. A
leading daily of Ardmore, Okla, is
being quoted to the effect that 'Evi-
IDENTIFY the legislature of the state of
Vermont believes that it pays to ad-
vertise, as it is expanding good money
annually in getting out some of the
most attractive advertising literature
ever seen in these parts" And then
naturally adds: "Several Ardmore
citizens spent the summer in Yer
mont, and already they arc boosters
for the state. Many more will be
there from this vicinity another year,
and some are even contemplating
purchasing summer homes near one
of the many lakes that completely dot
the Green Mountain state"
If they come for summer homes,
many of them will stay later and later
until they become more like year
round folk than they planned in the
beginning.-Bradford Opinion.
The Glowworm Cigarette.
Did you ever walk along at night
and see a little round glow of light
about the size of marrowfat pea on
the sidewalk or out in the main street :!
That is the glowworm cigarette. And
that little gloWWorm is responsible
for more, fires than all the tramps, in
cendiaries and poor chimneys put
together. No one in sight, but there
it burns, and burns, and burns, as
contentedly as if there was a human
suction pump behind it. Many brands
of cigarettes will burn themselves all
up this way, and this is where the
element of danger comes in.
Just watch the smoker of a cigar
cite. In most cases when half or
three-quarters consumed the smoker
gives them a fling and they land
somewhere. Then the glowworm pc
riod begins. And if the landing-place
is suitably conditioned, sometime, with
no one being any the wiser, the fire
alarm is rung in. You have seen
these filings, in the street, in the sta
BILE, when the party enters house, or
is in the woods, or wherever he may
happen to be. The f1inging process
is a natural one, inherited with other
careless faults. Whenever the Gig
arctic has fulfilled it's mission, it is
flung; and, rest assured, still burning
in nine cases out of ten. So the little
innocent-looking cigarette becomes
the cutest modern devil to start a
confagration Of anything there is
outside Of lighted match.-Newport
Express and Standard.

DALE AND HIS ACQUAINTANCE.

The Monitors mention of the fact
that Congressman Dale had been Sc
lected to make campaign speeches in
President Wilson's home state leads
the Barre Times to remark that Con-
gresham Dale ought to make some
speeches in his own second Vermont
district in order that people might
get acquainted with him here, init
mating that he is not we'll known in
Vermont.
Coming from Barre, the home of
would-be representatives of this dis
'trict, this criticism appears like bid
for some excuse for starting some
thing against Mr.. Dale. The Rutland
Herald answers the Barre contempo-
rary in commenting upon the matter,
in the following.
The Herald has curiosity to know
whether that is fact. How well
known is Mr.. Dale?
It is fair to assume he is known in
Brighton, where he 'held the usual
town Offices" He must have been
fairly we'll known in Essex county be-
cause he was twice elected to the
state senate, serving in 1910 and 1912.
Apparently few people knew him in
the second district, because he served
as chairman of the district convention
in 1896.
In the state itself, he must have had
a speaking acquaintance with a few
voters because he was a member of
the Republican state committee in
1908 and chairman of the Republican
state convention in 1898. Some one
must have recognized him in passing
because he was on Governor CIRCUITS
staff in 1868 and he was on the
staff Of the collector of customs in
1897-1910
During his campaign, it was some
thing Of q sayinS n the second dis
trict that Mr.. Dale might turn up in
any town, most any day, and, one
time or another, he visited every town
in the district, talked to a great many
voters and completely OutfoOted Mr.
Dunnett, who is by no means a slow
traveller.
One way and another, neWould say
that Mr.. Dale had at least hand
shaking acquaintance with quite q
number of voters, though possibly he
may have been seriously derelict III
calling to pay his respects tor take
orders fronl-certain Offices, interests
and headquarters in Washington coun-
ty and elsewhere that one might men
ton.
What is the matter with Mr.. Dale,
gentlemen of the second district? Is
he inclined to forget to kotow?
The fact, is Mr.. Dale is fairly well
acquainted with the rank and file of
the people of his district, but has not,
perhaps, made himself quite conspic-
uous enough among the politicians of
the district. 1t was quite generally
agreed after the campaign two years
ago that he won because of his ac-
quaintance with the rank and file.
while his opponents lost because they
were taking their lead from political
highbrows. Political aspirants, who
depend upon Senator So-and-so, Judge
Hasbeen and Congressman Wouldbe
are bound to more and more disap-
pointments. The common people, SO
to speak, are doing more of their own
thinking and reading.
1t is no great handicap in some
parts of Vermont if a man is not toe
well acquainted in Washington coun-
ty.

USE OWN BRAINS

DR.. A. II. Winshlp OF Boston. editor
of the Journal of Education, Friday
morning IN u lecture before the stu
dent body of Henry Kendall college,
made most remarkable plea for the
experiments OF education In the mod
orn college and universities.
Doctor Winship Is n Harvard grad
uate and has done educational work
In Germany. Franco ana throughout
the American continent lie has
crossed the American continent %
timcs making educational lectures and
pushing educational reforms. The
Bostonian Is considered one Cf Amer
ica's greatest educators today, and
fol the past four years has cen fore
most among the leaders IL American
education.
In his lecture Doctor Winship said
ir part: The departments Of educa-
ton OF the universities and colleges
are destined to produce the best edu-
catiOpal leaders ard college presl-
dents in the future, ro:idei thoy al
low freedom OF thought and intivd-
uality.
The reason the presidents Of the
principal colleges In the nation to-
day have not come from the depart
r ents of education is there they try
to follow some one else, rather than
follow their individual vision of the
ideal system. To succeed an educator
must have a vision. The man with a
vision of a system Of his own is the
man in demand.
"An educator must show himself.
and pronounce his vision The day
is past when it is adequate TO tell
things; you have got to demonstrate" ."
