fish hatchery is authority that
tomorrow will see the disposal
of all pike fry from this station.
A bunch of muskellunge fry will
also be distributed in the Eagle

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION
Will Be eli Delegates-Explanat
BY State Committee.

All doubt as to the method by
which the republican delegates to the
republican national convention to be
held in Chicago June will be elect
ed has been dispelled as the result of
the announcement Of the Republican
state committee to the effect that
there will be only one convention, a
state convention, to be convened at
Montpelier Friday, May &c, at 10
o'clock in the forenoon, when eight
delegates and eight alternates to the
national convention will be elected
and the report of the committee on
resolutions will be acted upon. For
mer Lieut.. Frank E. Howe of
Bennington, will be the temporary
chairman and C. H. Darling of Bur
lington chairman of the committee
on resolutions.
This marks the end of the old sys-
tenn of electing district delegates at
district conventions, and four dele
gates at large known as the "big four
at a state convention. Previously
the first and second congressional
districts elected in their own conven-
ton two delegates and two alternates
each. The wording of the new pri-
mary law makes it possible to hold
only one convention.
Cities and towns will be represent
ed in the state convention by dele
gates elected on the basis of one dele
gate for each city and town and one
additional delegate for each 100 votes
and each fraction of 100 votes exceed
ing SO cast for the republican can
didate for governor at the state cleo
ton of 1914. Figuring on this basis
there will be Gil delegates in the
conventional all attend-with 800
necessary for choice. The represen-
tations by counties is as follows:

Still More Supplies Are Needed-Ap

peal For Ladies to Help.
The sewing meetings for the relief
work are held every Tuesday after
noon at 2 o'clock in the Brotherhood
room of the North church. Last

large amount of work was finished
and forwarded to the various stations.
To show what the ladies are doing,
the following list represents the work
sent last week.
To the surgical dressings committee
New England branch, Peter Bent Brig
ham hospital, ,Boston-5OO compress
es of different sizes for dressing
wounds; these are made out of the
old linen and cotton furnished by the
ladies; fracture pillows; FL comfort

the ladies are earnestly requested to
bring in more if possible, so that this
work may be continued.
In letters received from Boston
during the week comes the appeal not
to give up the work now as supplies
were never more needed than at
present. Will not the ladies of ST.
Johnsbury do their share in this work
and come to the meetings whenever
it is possible?
Two branches of work have been
organized during the month, one in

MILITIA 10 FIGHT FIRES.
VIII Be Placed at the Service of the
State Forester to Protect Property.


State Forester to Protect Property.
AS the result of negotiations car
ried on between the Office of Brig.
Gen L. S. Tillotson, adjutant gener-
al of the state of Vermont, and A. +.
Halves of Burlington, state forester,
it is altogether likely that an an
nouncement will be made in the near
future, in the form of an order issued
from the office of General Tillotson,
to the effect that the officers and men
of the First Regiment, V. N. G., will,
under certain conditions, be at the
disposal of the state forester in the
fighting of forest fires.
1t is contemplated under the new
arrangement that the Nationaf Guard
will assist the forestry department
particularly in subsisting the fire
fighters, using the field mess outfits
for the purpose.
The plan of operation, as now in
the mind of the officials who are
working out the scheme, is that the
forestry department will notify the
commanding officer of the First Regi-
ment. Col. 1. L. Reeves. of North
field, or Adjutant General Tillotson
whenever it desires the assistance of
the National Guard, and that the Off
Ger called upon will issue the neces-
sary instructions to the organization
commanders.
This being duty not military in
its nature, the expense involved would
not be assessed to the military de-
partment of the state but will be
borne by the forestry department.
The state has been divided into
nine fire districts, in each of which
is located one or more National Guard
organizations. A map showing the di-
visions has been prepared and will be
distributed to all organization COM
mander. The division of which st.
Adams, with Company B is headquar-
ters includes all of Franklin county
and a small part of the northern por-
ton of Lamoille county.
Roughly speaking, Orleans and Es-
sex counties are joined in one division
with Newport with Company L. as
headquarters, Company d at St.
Johnsbury, will look after most of
Caledonia county, while Montpelier,
Company H, will be headquarters of
Washington, practically half of La
noble and the lower part of Gale
donia counties.
Mortified, Company F, will be
headquarters Tor the d1Vl1Son 1nclud-
ing Orange and parts of Windsor,
Washington and Addison counties.
Burlington, with three companies, c.,
G and M, will look after Chittenden
and most of Addison counties. Rut-
land is headquarters for Rutland and
Bennington counties, Company A be-
ing the organization to be called on
in that division. Companies K and E
at Springfield and Bellows Falls, re-
spectively, will care for Windsor and
northern Windham, while Brattle-
boro, with Company I, will respond to
calls from Windham and small por-
tons of eastern Bennington county.
