GYPSY MOTH SPECIMEN MOUNTS.
Being Presented to Libraries by State
Commissioners of Agriculture.

Specimen mounts of the gypsy moth
are being furnished by Commissioner
of Agriculture +. S. Brigham for exhi-
btion in the libraries of the state.
The present distribution includes
practically all the public libraries on
the eastern side of the state and those
located at other points considered in
particular danger of infestatioA by
this insect through railroad or auto,
mobile traffic. 1t is proposed ultimate
ly to provide each public library in the
state with one of these mounts.
The specimens have been collected
and mounted by the commissioner S
assistant in charge of insect suppress
sion, Harold l.. Bailey of Bradford.
Each mount contains an egg mass, a
caterpillar, male and female pupa,
and a male and female moth. Printed
cards of explanation accompany them.
The gypsy moth is highly destruc-
tive in its caterpillar stage, both to
orchards and forest growths, and has
caused tremendous damage in tho other
New England states.
The fact that the line of its progress
since its introduction into Nassachu-
setts has gradually extended until 1t
now touches our eastern border, ana
that several egg masses have been dis
covered in the state, makes it impera-
tive that every effort be made to pre-
vent the establishment of the pest
here.
For this reason it is hoped that PEG
pie will familarize themselves with

While the maple sugar season was a

there were some towns where the
farmers made good showing. A cor.
respondent sends the following report
from East Cabot: Harry Chandler

W. I. Abbott 5000 pounds from 1860
trees; Ira Read, 2,4l0 pounds from
1000 trees; Harry Young, 1000 pounds
from 500 trees; Carl Durgan, 1000

Chandler takes the lead for the most
sugar to the tree. From the 600 trees

BANQUET TO LIEUT.. CLARK.
Former Brattleboro Man Guest of
Honor of Military Students.

Lieut.. F. S. Clark, L. S. A., former
ly of Brattleboro, military instructor
at the University of Maine and a son
of Mrs. Frances Clark of this town,
was the guest of honor at banquet
given in the Bangor House, Me-, the
night of April 27 by about 30 members
of the Bangor Officers Training corps.
This is an organization composed of
young men who have been studying
the rudiments of military science UNI
der the direction of Lieut.. Clark, who
has generously given his services. a
Bangor newspaper said of the event:
"Sabin w. Wood was toastmaster.
and a long list of speakers extended
thanks and Fluctuations to Lieut..
Clark. A pleasant feature was the pre-
sentation to Lieut.. Clark, on behalf of
the corps, of an automobile luncheon
kit made of aluminum-a handsome
gift. The presentation was by DIR. VI
man B. Humphrey, and Lieut.. Clark
responded feelingly.
Many believe it the duty, in these
DAYS of national peril, for physically
able young men to at least take some
interest in the rudinents of military
science; and hence Bangor, in its Of
ficers' Training corps, has set an
unique and inspiring example to the
remainder of the state. Last night 1t
was voted, not only to continue the
studies of the corps, but to form also
rifle association, which, in common
with similar associations throughout
the country, will receive government
aid and supervision. Officers will be
chosen and organization perfected at
later meeting.
"sLieut. Clark expects to be as
signed to one of the training camps
this summer, but does not know
whether he will be sent to Norwich
VT or Plattsburg, n. "

Over Six Millions.
Rutland Herald. }

The figures compiled by State Audi.
tor Horace F. Graham from the reports
of the various towns, cities and vii
lagos of Vermont, showing the expen-
ditures for the past fiscal year are al
most startling in their magnitude.
The grand total, with a few towns
missing, figures the somewhat stunning
total of $6,341, 1907 .43-over six and
quarter millions for one year of
government.
Assembling these figures in a COM
pact table gives the following'
For schools ........... - ,163, 1850

For the poor ........... 25S,4O6,35
For all other purposes 2,673,5slsS
Total .................$6,34 1 ,307.43
The expenditures for schools arc
perhaps the best investments and the
better audited than others in the list.

lieves that they will pay big dvi-

Overseers of the poor find it eu4 y

alton of town farms is losing

Ipenditure for the relief of the poor
by no means alarming.
The waste in spending highW
funds is self-evident. Under the pr

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Editors: Esther Strohm- Claude Chinook.
School closes next week for the
summer vacation.
Most of the classes began reviewing
for their final examinations.
The senior examinations are about
over and every one as beginning to
breathe freely.
The students of the high school ex-
tend theirs ympathy to Mr. Weingartner
and hope he will soon be able to walk
without cane.
Do you wonder that so many of the
seniors looked so tired Thursday.
The physic class went to Jones mill
Monday to study the action of the dy-
amO.
The commencement exercises will be
held a Neider's opera house, Thursday
evening, at o'clock, May 25th, in
stead of the Goth. Glass day exercises
will be at the high school, May 23d.
No admission charged, SO everybody
come.
We, as seniors of the WabenO high
school, are about to leave its dear old
walls and go out into life's action. No
more shall we enter it's doors as stu
dents. It's halls shall no longer ring
with our latter it's floors no longer be
filled with the dear ones; no more the
stairs thronged with merry ones TO bid
each happy conner welcome. With
fearful eyes and heart we bid to our
and had such patience with us, adieu!
To the juniors we bid farewell and we
hope they will try and fill our places
as we have always done. To the soph-
omores we must say good bye; altho'
we hate to, not knowing what our to-
morrows will be. And to the fresh
men, au revoir. May you look up to
us as model class. We are sure you
will profit by our shorteomings-for
we have had but few, and upon leav-
! ing hign school leave as clean slate
and as good record as we have done.
Four short years ago, when we entered
! high school. we knew not whab it
meant to say farewell. 1t Is sad, but
true. no more shall we be children of
our dear old Mother High; and as we
venture forward we, the class OF 1916,
! bids one and ali-farewell!

The Good Roads Movement

A few years ago movement, which
has since became nationwide. was in
auguraled in favor of good roads.
7. In 1911 the Wisconsin legislature
passed the first state aid highway law,
which has since been amended so that
it now stands as one of the most bene-
fetal laws ever enacted in this state.
The last legislature extended it's
scope by providing that towns may is
! sue bonds to raise money to improve
and build highways. To do an extern
sive piece of work, such as building a
long piece of highway on the piece
plan" little each year-as has been
done in the past, is an economic folly,
of which only municipal corporation
is guilty. No private corporation
could :enlarge it's scope of operations
on that plan and keep out OF bank
ruptcy.
The plan to raise money by bonding
means that the road work will not
only be done in a more economi cal
manner, but roads will be better con-
structed, and more quickly, so that we
will not have to wait years to have the
benefit of them; the element Of time is
not the least important consideration
in this matter.
