year. The records show that the
sum of 5000 has ben earned by the
society. The members enter upon
their second years work with every
reason to hope that 1t will be more
pleasant and more profitable. The
society will have the convenience OF
a comfortable meeting place and a
modern kitchen and dining room in
the new church. 1t will also have
the benefit of years work in organ
izing and adjusting; and now knows,
pretty we'll, the capacity and capabil-
ity OF each of its members. Hence
forth transfer bills, hall rents, help
hire and the like should be practically
proportionately reduced. With the
same expenditure of energy the
earnings of the society for the coming
wear should be increased fifty per
cent.

and loyalty of the st. Johns Club
which is auxiliary to the Ladies' Aid

eryislon Of the president Of the La
dies Aid Society, she expresses the

be a friend to the girls. 1t should
be said in passing that these lovely
girls, whose club bears the name Of
the beloved disciple. have paid, this
flrst year, on the new church, 500
and IL nourished and cherished should
soon be promoted to membership In
the Ladies' Aid where their services
will be invaluable.
May this club, like the beloved
disciple. live long and we'll upon the
earth; and may 1t escape the persecu.
tons which were his. er&t

THE PARAsOL SHOW

Fluffy effects prevail in trimmed goods,
corded effects are again conspicuous, but in
new adaptations tucks abound in numerous
forms, from the simple border to the all-over
effect. Shocks are to be found in numerous
designs. Probably the most pronounced
fashion trend is in the direction of floral en-
bellishment and Jap treatment
The latter is especially prominent in all
lines, and deviation from the true Oriental
type is marked by ultra styles that frequently
retain only the multi-ribbed frame, although
most of them are characterized by the short
top, distinguishing characteristic of the
true Jap parasol. This, in combination with
the short handle, lends diminutive aspect
which would be impracticable without the
handle loop, an Indispensable adjunct of this
STYLE"

A MER|CA IS FOR
PEACE, DECLARES
PRESIDENT WILSON
That He Might Have to Choose
Whether u. S. Enters War
or Not Has Beer Burden
on His Spirits.

Washington. May 16.-Prcsdent Will
son tonight made public n frank and
intimate review of his three years in
the White House and his impressions Of
foreign and domestic problems, deliv-
cred conndentialy last night before
Washington correspondents gathered at
the National Press club lie spoke Of
the difficulties OF the presidency and
particularly of the motives which have
guided his handling of the European
situation.
America, the President said, Is for
peace because she loves peace and be-
leves tho present wnr has carried the
nations engaged $50 far that they can
not be held to ordinary standards of
responsibility" But. he added. the Uni
ted states has grown to he one Of the
great nations of tho world and there
fore must act more or less from the
point of view of the rest of the world"
IF cannot retain my moral infu-
enCc over q man except by occasionally
knocking him down." he said. "if that IS
the only basis on which he will respect
me, then for the sake Of his soul
have got occasionally to knock him
down"
The President declared he had been
kept awake nights considering the
European situation, because there
might come n time when the United
States would have to do what It did
not desire to do, and "the great bur
den on my spirits has been that 1T has
been up to me to choose when that
time comes
He added that he did not conceive
that he had been elected President To

DANISH HAY FEVER.
Weeds Spreading Disease Lack Rcdccm-
Ing Features md Menace Health.

With the approach of early summer.
the hay-fevcr sufferer looks forward with
dlsmay to the beginning OF his trials. The
efforts which have been inaugurated In
many of the States to eradicate or con-
troll the hay-fcver weeds give promise of
the eventual eradication of hay-fever. but
these measures should be commenced at
once in order to he effective.
Fortunately the weeds that are the most
noXious to the hay-fevcr sufferer are al
ready on the black list of tho farmer. ana
have no rcdceming features in color, scent
or utility Their chief characteristics
arc as follows;
t. They are wind pollinated
.. Very numerous.
g. The flowers are inConspiCuous, with
out bright color or pleasant scent.
l. The pollen is found in great quaint.
ties.
All hny-fevcr weeds are wind pollinated.
otherwise their pollen would not be in tho
air to irrtatc the nostrils of susceptible
persons Bright colors and sweet scent
are intended to attract insects for fer
tlization, and are therefore absent in hay
fever weeds which are wind-pollinated.
Among the hay-fevcr weeds which will
soon he in flower and distribute their
noNious pollen are the yellow dock (Rumex
crispus), Careless weed (Amaranthus spi-

ium etc The grasses also are noxious

Dr. Scheppegrcll, president of the Ameri-

calls attention to the Daisy fleabane

and whose toxidty has recently been es-
tabished bv this association. Children
collect these flowers and in one Wifi
will lnhalc sufficient pollen to cause Il
paroXysm of hay-fever lasting three to
five days. Such attacks are almost in
variably attributed to "colds", the real
cause not being suspected. It may, in
addition. cause a "sensiti2ation', which
will make the child susceptible TO hay
fever in later years.
From an agricultural standpoint, weeds
already cost the farmer millions of dol.
lars annually. When we add to this the
economic loss due to hay-fever caused by
these weeds, several millions may easily
he added The representatives, of oul
agricultural and legislative interests
should therefore unite with the health
authorities TO eradicate the hay-fevel
weeds. which are alike Il nuisance t

medicine.

SPECIAL LEGISLATION
Necessary before Liquor License Fees
Can BE Refunded.

In the opinion of states Attorney Hop
kins here is no provision in the present
laws of Vermont whereby the fees paid TO
the state by Max l.. Powell for the two
licenses to sell liquor, one at the Hotel
Vermont and one at the Van Ness House,
may be refunded by the State. Had the
licenses been revoked for cause the fees
would have been forfeited. Had the
licenses been revoked without reason
given the State would have had to refund
the fees. The licenses for which Mr..
Powell paid $3.50 were void from the first
so there was no need to revoke them,
Mr., Powell himself, ordering the bars
20 he closed when he found that the error
had been made, 1t is probable that spe
cial legislation will be necessary before
the license fees paid by Mr.. Powell can
be refunded by the State
