lent has upon society fro myear to
year. Some years all the card clubs
stop meeting. and has its effect on the
literary clubs. Some years the church
societies abstain from serving refresh

Of the meetings. This year the clubs
have continued their meetings but lent
has had a very noticeable effect in
Quietfng the social activities in the
form of parties. There have been no
large functions since lent began ex-
cept the D. A. r. luncheon, and that Is

men welcome the season because it

Athletes Had Narrow Escape.

Johnny" Burns and +. w. Bowman
two well known Burlington baseball
players, had narrow escape from
drowning in Montreal on Tuesday.
Burns saved Bowman as he was going
down the third time and he, himself
was so exhausted after struggling in the
water that both would probably have
lost their lives had they not been rescued
by men in a motor boat near the scene.
Burns and Bowman are playing on the
Indian team OF the Montreal City league,
the former as first baseman and Bow.
man on third
The two were canoeing on Lake st,
Louis near Lachine when their boat up
set and both were thrown into the water.
Mr.. Bowman, who weighs close TO 200
pounds, cannot swim. Burns, on the 9TH
err hand, is an expert, and when he saw
his companion going down he made for
the spot to catch him when he came up.
As the heavy form came to the sur
face Burns grabbed it by the hair, but
the weight of the man made him lose
his hold He tried again, however, and
just as Bowman was going down for the
third time managed to grasp him tightly
and propel him slowly towards the canoe,
in which Burns found but weak and
temporary support.
Owing to Bowmans weight, they GER
tainly must both have drowned If Burns
cries had not attracted the attention OF
men in a motor boat, who reached them
just in time.
Mr.. Burns is the son of Mr.. and Mrs
James Burns of Burlington and Bowman
is a Proctor young man who is fresh
man at the University of Vermont. Both
are stalwart, husky young men.

100 Per Cent American.

A third son of Colonel Roosevelt Is
now engaged for military service abroad.
As the fourth is taking lessons in avia.
ton at Mineola the family will soon have
a 100 per cent representation of its men
Of military age in the fight
/ An example of devotion To the Ameri.
can cause and TO that Of humanity at
this time deserves attention. Many men
of less conspicuous position will do their
shares in this grim business the better
for realizing that patriotic devotion is
no ere empty word. As for other ex.
amples, they abound. The celebrity of
the name OF one family gives prominence
TO their conduct. Other families will be
found 10 have made equally complete
il less conspicuous offerings.
The enlistment has as yet brought no
opportunity for Colonel Roosevelt him
self to 60 into the field. II is not for
any lack of effort on his part. Disap.
pointed in this no doubt he Is, and a
great part Of the country as we'll. The
action OF his sons, however, makes good
more than one OF his emphatic and ia
miliar declarations of doctrine. They
prove that he has taught the hatred of
the mollycoddle and the un-Amercan in
his own family. They give him the right
in plain terms, against his old favorite
antipathy, race suicide. Not many fam
lilies are able to give four sons TO the
fight. Those who give but one may give
less ample; at the same time they.stand
greater chance OF complete loss than do
the parents of many. Never have the
Roosevelt theories on the subject been |
more completely justified.
This country will wish good luck to
the Roosevelt boys, and by that senti- |
ment will wish them in particular the
chance TO strike good blows for the good
cause with which their name is already
honorably coupled.--New York Evening
Sun.

More Strict Regulation of Motorboats

With the motorboat season at It'll
height and the recent drowning tragedy
in which four lives were lost fresh in the
minds of the citizens of Burlington, ex
ira caution is being taken by the officials
in charge of boating to see that owners
of motor craft or sailing vessels strictly
obey the rules governing the running OF
boats
Although the late Frank Baldwin, who
was drowned Sunday afternoon in the
Winooski river, often carried, it is said
from Is to Is passengers in his 1sfoot
motor launch without trouble of any
kind resulting, there is no doubt but
that the sad tragedy last Sunday, which
resulted in his death and that of the
two Hoffrichter girls and their brother,
would not have happened if there had
been a less number of persons in the
boat at the time of the collision with the
floating stump.
Another phase of the motor laws is
the carrying of light by craft at night
Although the danger of boats colliding
on water is not as great as that of auto
mobiles on land, the law in regard to
their carrying suitable lights is not less
stringent.
Every motorboat of less than % feet
in length shall carry a white light aft
to show all around the horizon, com
bined lantern in the fortport of the yes
sci and lower than the white light aft,
showing green TO starbosrd and red to
port, so fixed as to throw the light from

right ahead 20 two points abaft the beam
on their respective sides.
A motorboat over 20 feet and under %
in length must have bright white light
in the fore part of the vessel rs near
the stern as practicable, so constructed
as to show an unbroken light over an
arc OF the horizon of 90 points Of the
compass, so fixed as TO throw the light
10 points on each side OF the vessel
namely, from right ahead TO two points
abaft the beam on either side. The glass
or lens shall be not less than 10 square
inches for the smaller boats, and not
less than 81 square inches for the larger
ones, On the stsrbosrd side green
light must be kept and ON the port side
a red light.
The laws, which were enacted by Con-
gress, also provide that every sailing
craft of any description shall carry life
preservers for every passenger on board,
Neglect TO do this ia regarded as Grim
inal act and lie punishable by heavy
fine.

wITcHGRASS TROUBLESOME.
Frequent Ploughing and Narrowing the
Only Remedy.

| about the hardest thing to combat OF
new land which is planted to garden stuff
this year is witchgrass, said j. W. Dana
Chittenden county agricultural agent, ii
discussing the difficulties encountered by
amateur gardeners.
Various metho0s have been tried to
get rid OF this persistent pest but all
seem to agree that tillage in July and
August are the most successful Bosed
on these results we should be glad to
cooperate with few persons who arc
troubled with witchgrass. We have an
agreement worked out that calls for the
hay to be cut about July j, the plot to
be plowed Immediately and narrowed
as often as necessary to keep vegetation
down.
"Then late in November it is to be
plowed again so that any live roots
that remain will be exposed to the ac-
ton of the frost.
However, it must be remembered that
for complete eradication it is necessary
that all scattering roots be killed so that
tillsge in the succeeding hoed crops is
fully as important as the preliminary
work.
The cost of eradication in other in
stances has been about SIS an acre. With
the increase cost of labor $40 should give
a fair margin of safety.
1T is sometimes said that weeds are
a blessing, and / really believe that in
many instances they are, for too many
times we cultivate because the field is
