LIGHTNING
PLAYS HAVOC
Phone Pole on Depot Street Torn to
Shreds and DR.. Browns House
Lost Chimney-Heavy Rain

Lightning struck in and all around
Stanford in a terrific electrical
storm which swept this section Mon
day afternoon. A miniature cloud
burst poured down upon the COM
munity for an hour or so and
drenched everything, but was mighty
good for corn and other growing
crops, though not so good on hay,
which was on the ground.
A bolt of lightning struck a tele-
phone pole across the alley from
Will Rockers store on Depot street,
and split it absolutely into splinters.
1t cut the pole off almost flush with
The ground, and the use of a pocket
knife or Ratchet would hardly have
made better kindling out of the pole.
The residence of DR.. E. J. Brown,
on Hication was struck, chimney
being torn down, but the damage
was not serious. A barn on the farm
of Shell Reid in the Highland sec
ton, was split in two by light
ming bolt, part of the top being
torn off. A number of phone wires
were affected by the electric storm
and connections have not all yet
been repaired.
The high wind which prevailed fol
short space of time, played havoc
with large shade trees, many being
uprooted and great number being
denuded of limbs.

alton of 100000 for 1916, and in
! creases S5,OOO,0OO for five years.
Kentucky's proportionate sum for
1916 will be S115,OOO, and with a
similar amount from the state treas
ury about 500 miles of road can be
constructed this year. President
Wilson has not yet signed the bill.

ably and will probably do so.
Under this new bill the appropria-
ton increases S5,OO0,OOO each year.

I in larger territory. Any state may
affiliate with the national govern
ment in this good road work, and the
government pays so per cent, the
state and counties 25 per cent each,
thus lessening the cost of the roads
to county tax payers. Roads which
cost over $4,000 a mile, exclusive
of bridges over 20 feet in length,
| will not be aided by the federal gov
eminent. The state must agree to
: maintain the roads before the federal
aid is given. The new plan will not
interfere with state aid work at all.

HANsoN.McFARLANp DEBATE.

That the people of Middlebury were
interested in the relative merits Of pro-
hibition and local option was abundantly
proved Sunday afternoon, March g.
when the town hall WAS filled while
Professor raymond Mcfarland Of Mid
dlebury College and Mayor h, b, Han
son of Belfast, Maine, discussed the
prohibition and local option methods,
respectively, of dealing with the liquor
situation in Vermont,
The first speaker was Professor Me
Farland who presented the merits OF
prohibition. He cleared away, in his
opening remarks, many misconceptions
in regard to the Perry bill, The meas
ure he advocated was not merely a mat
ter for the State this year, but for
years to come. 1t was a working prin-
ciple which applied to conditions in Yer
mont would bring about better place
to live in than now existed, The meas
ure was not the old prohibitory law
which Vermont had discarded II years
ago, 1t was the local option law of the
present with the state as the voting
unit, Then followed the constructive
argument, The social and economic
aspects Of the question were presented
and figures given to substantiate the
claims made.
Mayor Hanson began by taking
the audience very skillfully to his side
as sympatherizers with one who had
come to Middlebury and had been treat
ed with discourtesy 1t was clever
piece of work. He showed that Maine
had gained in population before prohibi-
ton out of all proportion to what she
had gained since its adoption. He
claimed that when the saloon was taken
away from the men and boys they went
to worse places he had photographs
representing the places to which they
then go.
He told with great skill stories illus.
trating the prohibitionists attempt to
prohibit the other fellow from getting
a drink while in some instances they
themselves did not refuse to drink in
their own homes. He brought forth
laughter and applause as he told about
men who were willing to vote for pro-
but who would not pledge
themselves not to drink The lack of
enforcing the prohibition law in Maine
was described and the argument was
brought to close by skilfu plea for
well regulated saloons under a high
license system.

GOVERNOR STEWARDS SERVICE
AS COLLEGE TRUSTEE,

A recent number of School and
Society contains a letter from President
Thomas inqulrng whether anyone can
cite an instance of longer service as
college trustee than that Of the late
Governor Stewart, 1t will be interest
ing to note whether any responses to
this letter claim longer periods of
official college service, The letter
folows3-
To thelEdtor of School and Society;
am interested to learn whether the
record Of the late John W, Stewart as
trustee.of Middlebury College does not
surpass in point of length of service
that Of any other member of an official
board of an American college, Mr.
Stewart, an aumnus of the class Of
1876, who served Vermont as governor
and the United States in both House
and Senate, was elected trustee in
1858, He died October 20, 1915, and
was therefore fifty seven years fellow
of Middlebury College, He was secre-
tary of the board of trustees lS5l-5S
and therefore was for siXty.four years
connected with the board, Can any
one cite an instance of a longer service
in an American College corporation?

Leaf Spot Of Cucumbers.

The angular leaf spot Of Cucumbers
is a disease quite prevalent throughout
the eastern and middle western states.
1t was reported as having been pres
ent the past year in Michigan, Indiana.
Wisconsin and New York, as we'll as
the provinces of Ontario and Quebec,
in Canada. The disease has also been
reported recently from Maryland and
other southern states.
The presence Of the disease is indi-
Gated by angular, dry, brown spots on
the foliage which, by dropping out or
tearing, give the leaves a ragged ap-
pearance. Although the disease has
been known for many years in the field
and has been conceded to be of bac-
terial origin, heretofore no organism
has been named as its cause. AS re-
suit oSeXperiments recently conducted
by the plant Psychologists Of the depart
ment Of agriculture, however, the germ
causing the disease has been isolated
md identified.
II was found that the disease is caus-
ed by bacterial organism entering the
leaf through minute oritces in the outer
layer, wounds not being necessary to
permit infection. Young stems may be-
come soft rotted or crack open, but no
direct connection has been found be-
tween the leaf spot and the soft rots of
the fruit. A heavy infestation, how
ever, often materially reduces the crop
by destroying the active eaf surface
Of the plants.
