WIDE INFESTATION
OF TREES FOUND
Harold L. Bailey, Insect Expert, Sc
cures Specimens of Destructive
Caterpillars in Guilford.

After inspecting somt maple and
beech trees in Guilford Center this
morning Harold L. Bailey of Bradford,
who has charge of insect suppression
in Vermont, left for home with a con-
siderable number of specimens of cater
pillars, principally of two varieties
known as the saddled prominent and
the striped maple worm
The finding of these cateypillars con-
frmed Mr.. Bailey's expressed belief
yesterday that the strippings of the
NAPLES in Guilford was due to these
caterpillars. He win send them to the
United States bureau of entomology in
Melrose, Mass, for observation as to
whether they have been attacked by
parasites which hatch from minute eggs
laid in their skins. If they bear para
sites the chances are that they will be
exterminated in that way, but it is
probable that the infestation will be
noticed next year.
Mr.. Bailey found large areas where
trees had been stripped of their foliage,
the infestation being the most wide
spread that has ever come under his
observation

Sugar Cards.

The action of the dealers of Windham
county in deciding to go upon card
system of selling sugar commends itself
to those communities which have been
on town card systems for some time.
Barre has been on the card system for
a long time and the dealers here would
no dodbt welcome a change which would
bring the entire Washington county into
q similar arrangement. If the shortage
of sugar continues, as it now bids fair
to do, it would be wise for the entire
nation to go on sugar ration plan.
Such an arrangement, rigidly lived up
to, is the only fair method OF. distribu-
tion of scarce product; because it re-
stricts purchases to meet the needs of
each family and prevents attempts at
boarding. The sugar card system ought
to be taken up at once by all the larger
communities of Vermont in order to get
ready for a nationwide change, which
seems possible.

TO BE PRESIDENT OF CHINA.
Hsu Shih Chang Choice of Northern
Army Generals.

PEKIN, August 7.--At conference
held by the generals of the northern
Chinese army it has been agreed to nom
mate Hsu shih Chang, former vice
prime minister, for the presidency. He
IS understood to be acceptable to the
southern provinces Of the republic. The
real struggle in the coming presidential
election, however. viii be for the vice
presidency If Hsu Shih Chang is
elected he viii hold Office only so long
rs permitted to do SO by the military
party and much depends upon the
character of the man who would be his
successor.
Tuan Chi Jul, the premier, is the
most popular candidate, but Chang
soulin, governor of Mukden province,
has high political ambitions. At the
conference of the generals it was decid-
ed to fight against the southern armies
until the government S authority is re-
stored.
