TIGHT-WIRE NYMPH.
Biggest Hit Made by Littlest Girl,
Marceline Cevene.

There are over 400 internationally
famed artists with the Hagenbeck- Wal
lace circus, which will exhibit in Brat
tleboro on Wednesday, May 80, yet the
spirit of the collosaI performance. is
epitomized by Miss Mareeline Cevene, a
dainty, bewitching bit of humanity,
who dances and romps on a slender steel
wire. The. young girl is newcomer in
the circus ranks, and is member of
the Cevene Sextette. Miss Cevene is
about as big as a minute, yet before
she has fairly started her work the
people in the audience are shutting
through their programs to find her name
The biggest hit in the show by the lit
TEST girl. Marceline is aged 90, she
stands four feet six, she wears 49,
children shoes, and until this season
she appeared only in England and on

Little Prospect of Securing
Help from Sources Out
side of Vermont
STATE COMMISSIONER
MAKES STATEMENT
Urges Residents of the Large Towns
and Cities to Help Raise the Food
Which They Themselves VIII Need
the Coming Year.

ST. AIRANS, May 20.-E. S. Brigham
of this city, state commissioner OF ag-
riculture today issued a statement, which
shows plainly to Vermonters that they
cannot depend upon outside sources for
farm labor The raising of big crops is
a paramount duty Not only should
everything possible be done to help the
farmers. but residents of large villages
and cities are urged to help raise the
food which they themselves need. Mr.
Brigham says:
Since March LIST, +. H. Bickford, state
farm labor agent has Investigated every
possibe source of farm labor from out
side the state. As other states are as bad
ly off as Vermont, there seems to be little
prospect of securing labor from outside
sources At one time it was expected that
furloughs from the army, of drafted men
skilled in farm labor, would afford some
relief during the planting season. The
change in the military situation however,
making it necessary to hurry men abroad,
will probably prevent the furloughing OF
many men for farm work.
So far, the spring has been favorable
for preparing the land for planting and
for seeding grain The next 80 days will
snsh the planting season. If good wealth
er continues, our farmers, with the help
Of machinery will be encouraged to put
in all crops they possibly can and with
additional local help these crops can be
cared for and harvested on time. If every
man who can be spared from a town or
city occupation for whole or portion OF
the time during the summer will volun-
tecr. VIC can care for and harvest our
crops and make Vermont contribute her
share toward the food supply of our eoun-
try and her allies
This is a matter to be taken seriously,
because food supplies are short, and food
cannot Abe' "a ised without labor. Assistant
fsScretaFS OF XgfiGdltuf6" OHsy recently
said at a meeting in Washington:
Tell the people that the Govern
mcnt is going to feed the soldiers and
the civilian population behind the sol
diers The farmers are also going to be
fed because they are the producers of
food. If the townspeople do not help
raise and harvest crops. they may go
hungry"
Farmers of Vermont are patriotic an(
will do their best to help raise food enough
70 supply all classes of people, but they
cannot perform an impossible task and
do this without extra labor during the next

Toy Dog Answers Call.

A toy dog which, at the word Of
command, will rush from its kennel
is one Of the ingenious products Of
those whose business it is to please
the children. A microphone is placed
inside the kennel. A sharp noise
causes it to vibrate and come in con-
tact with a piece Of metal. This
closes an electrical circuit, equipped
with a small battery and connected
with an electromagnetic. The pull of
the latter on it's armature releases the
catch of the spring and out pops the
toy animal.

Little Meteorie Matter Now.

In the early days of it's history the
earth grew rapidly By the addition Of
meteoric matter. It is still growing in
the same manner, though scarcely to
an appreciate extent, for the masses
of meteoric matter added yearly is
reckoned to be only 10000 tons. In

have swept up practically all the frag-
