under irrigation if not watered too
much. They state that Polish farmers
in Montana claim that this wheat
yields from IS to $50 bushels per acre
and makes the very best of flour and
hog feed.
These statements are directly con
trary to the experience OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture and several State
experiment stations. They are also
contrary to the experience of many
farmers who have written to the lie
partment at one time or another.
The accumulated evidence regard
ing this wheat does not indicate that
it has any value that will in any way
justify the charge Of $1.0O per pound
for the seed, and farmers are advised
not to be misled by the glowing state
ments regarding yields and value
which have been made concerning this
variety.

POLISH WHEAT

Agi iculture recently has been in
ed that Polish wheat is being
offered for sale in Montana at the
exor,bitant price of $1.00 per pound.
Polish wheat is a variety more close
1v related to the durum wheats than
TO the common wheats. The head IS
2 to 6 inches long and one-half TO
three-quarters of an inch wide, US
,,allv flexible instead Of stiff. The
chaff is very long, and thin and pape-
nv The kernels are larger than
those of ordinary varieties Of common
wheat. Like those Of durum wheat,
the kernels are finty and of an amber
color.
A few years age this wheat was ex-
pIoited in Idaho under the misleading
name Corn Wheat" 1t has also been
exploited at different times as "Jerus-
alem rye" "Giant rye" etc.
This wheat is grown to a slight ex-
tent in southeastern Europe, but new
or has been grown commercially in
the United States. i is carried IN
stock and sold as a novelty by most
seedsmen. 1t has been tested by many
experiment stations and has never
been found to yield as well as gooo
varieties of common and durum
wheat. From our present knowledge

READY FOR TESTS
Vermonters at Eagle Pass Expect
Hard Time of 1t.

Eagle Pass, Texas, Sept. THE LIST
Vermont is getting ready for the in
spection to be goven them by colonel
of the inspector-generars department
of the United States army.
From what the northerners have
learned from the men of the Maryland
regiments. who have been put through
the test, they have a job that will keep
them on their toes all the time and
make them show every bit of military
knowledge they possess. They are not
worrying. They feel that since they
arrived here the first part of July
they have learned many things that
they look and act like soldiers.
An officer of an Illinois regiment
and an auto truck driver crossed the
international bridge into Mexico yes
terday morning. They were arrested
right off. Both were uniformed and
the officer carried side arms. They
pleaded ignorance of the law forbid
ing American soldiers to go into
Mexico. They were visitors here.
The Mexican soldiers turned the two
over to the commandant at Pfedras
Negras, Colonel Peraldi, who return
ed them to the American consul at
Eagle Pass.

DEATH OF PETER PROVINCIAL
Had Been Actively Engaged LIN Bust
ness Here For 40 Years.

Peter Provencal, aged 6S years and
10 months, died at his home on Rail-
road street Thursday morning at z
o'clock, after an illness of three
months from diabetes Although suf-
fering from the disease for 10 years,
it was not until about three months
ago that he was confined to his bed.
With the death of Mr.. Provencal
there passed from the community one
of the oldest business men of St.
Johnsbury, where for nearly 40 years
he had been actively engaged in mer-
camille business, with many years
spent in the grocery business and also
as proprietor of store carrying
gents furnishings.
Mr.. Provencal had been located in
many different places in st. Johnsbury
while in business, both on the Plain
and on Railroad street. He was hon.
est and square in all dealings both in
social life and in business, as is testi-
field to by the many prosperous bust
ness enterprises in which he engaged
that depended on giving a square deal
to everyone.
Mr.. Provencal entered into the So
cial life of the town at times, during
the years of his residence here, and
was very musical in his tastes. He
was among the first organizers of the
choir in the Notre Dame church,
where he had sung for many years,
and up until short time before his
death. He was also member of the
order of St. Jean de Baptiste.
Peter Provencal was born in St.
Joseph Beauce, P. O., in October,
1848. He attended the schools there
college. Forty-five years ago he came
to town and entered the employ of
the Fairbanks Company as a carpen-
ter where he remained five years
Four months after coming to st.
Johnsbury he was united in marriage
to Miss Caroline Corriveau of st.
Johnsbury. Twelve children were
born to this marriage of whom IL are
living.
After leaving Fairbanks, a small
grocery business was opened by him
on Main street, which after a success
full business of six years he sold out
in order to open a clothing store in
the Citizens Bank block on Railroad
street. He was located there IA years
and until fire destroyed the block.
about 20 years ago, when he built
the block at 1913 Railroad street and
again opened a grocery store. A bak-
cry was added to this a few years lat
er.
About three years ago Mr.. Proven
cal retired from business and sold the
store stock to his son, Arsene T. Pro-
vencal, rounding out nearly 40 years
of mercantile activity.
Those left to mourn his loss are,
Mrs. Caroline Provencal, six sons and
five daughters, as follows: Mrs. Nee
lea DArche, Eugene Provencal and
Mrs. Adelard Sicard of Hartford, Ct; |
Mrs. Alexander Landry, Three Rivers. |
P. O.; Mrs. Adjutor Champion and
Mrs. Desire Bilodeau of ST. Johnsbury; |
Gustave Provencal, Manchester, N. H,
and Ralph, Arthur, John and Arsene
Provencal of st. Johnsbury.
The funeral was held Saturday
morning at Notre Dame church, Faith
er Drouhin officiating and Father
Deruchers of Central Falls, r. l., Ra-
Their Maillett of Woodstock and Fa-
Their Marceau of Barton assisting. |
The interment was in Mount Calvary
cemetery.

CHALMERS GIVEN COMMISSION
To Reproduce Frieze In Vail Mansion
AT Montclair, ". j..

Theodore N. Vail of Lyndonville
has commissioned Calvin S. Chalmers,
son of Mrs. Alexander Dunnett, to re-
produce in the Vail memorial library
of the new summer mansion, in Mont
clair. N. J., the frieze which he re-
Gently completed in the Dunnett cot
tage at Groton pond. Mr.. Chalmers
is now in Montclair working on the
decoration.
Those who have seen the work done
by Mr.. Chalmers say that the frieze
which is done in oils, and extends
around the walls of a room 80 feet
each way, is an exceptional and most
original work of its kind.
The scenes which Mr.. Chalmers
has taken as the basis of the work
are all in the state and are familiar
to all Vermonters.
The frieze as it is in the Dunnett
cottage completely harmonizes with
the beam ceiling of the room which
was built in 1852, and with the
heavy floor that was laid at the same
time.
Mr.. Chalmers is a well known ar
fist of New England and has been
prominent in leading art circles in the
east where for a number of years he
was art editor of the Boston Post, and
at~different times has had other inn
portant connections with large city
papers

WANT BORDER OR HOME.
Officers and Men at Fort Ethan Allen
Become Restless and Disguised
After Return to Camp.

Burlington, Sept. "a recommend
alton has been made that the remain
ing companies and unassigned re-
cruits of the Vermont National guard
in the state either be sent to the bor-
der or discharged from the service,
said an officer today. 1t was also said
that the militia is as disguised with
the way things are going as the regu-
lars the uncertainty having gotten on
their nerves. Half the regular Of
fcers of the post, said the military
man, are waiting for promotions that
were scheduled to take effect on
July 1.
Inspector ]. L. Chamberlain of the
department of the east spent yester-
day and today inspecting the militia.
When asked if there was any chance
of the mobilization camps being
broken up he said: You'll have to
ask Mr.. Wilson,
Adjt. Gen. L. S. Tillotson has moved
his headquarters to st. Adams. Ma
jor S. S. Watson, in charge of the
quartermaster service, has been mus
tered out.
The lack of decision at the capital
is felt strongly among the militia,
both officers and men. The event of
not go to Eagle Pass merely heaped
injury upon insult, according to some
of the men. One officer called it a
huge joke but there was anything but
a smile on his face when he said it.
Four enlisted men who came back
from the border last Thursday night,
after the Adjt. General received the
order that no men, either college
students or men with dependents were
to be discharged, were held, in spite
of the fact that they had applied for
discharge several days before. They
missed their train at New Orleans, it
is said, and arrived too late. The au-
thorities argue that their time of dis
charge was to date, if granted, from
the hour of their arrival.
The eleven college students who re-
manned at the post and didn't go to
Brattleboro with the militia when it
started for Eagle Pass have also stay
ed in the service. The officers of the
company are not in much better po-
sitions than the men. They may pre-
sent their designations but the war de-
partment can do as it sees fit as to ac-
cepting them.

Vermont, DR.. Moody laid the matter

Dr. Moody felt the appointment to
be an especial honor which should be
accepted and will leave for the camp

tension for a Corona typewriter.
Mr.. Moody responded, stating that
it was complete surprise to him and
that he did not yet know when he
would start for the border. He also
