The Apple Lesf-Hopper on Potato.

This insect has appeared in destruc-
tive numbers over large part of Wis
consin and has caused the leaves of
early potatoes to turn black and dry up.
In the worst asses even the stems have
blackened and died.
Most of the damage is done by the
young insects which stay on the under
sides of the leaves and run rapidly but
do not hop, These were changing to
adults with wings in southern Wiscon-
sin July 10 to July %. These little
green leaf-hoppers fly readily and will
spread to late potatoes, beans, and adj
joining crop where another generation
of young will be produced. Just how
serious this will be cannot be predicted
until early in August.
The best remedy is nicotine sulphate
ordinarily sold as BLACK Leaf 40" by
seed stores and drug stores. Use it in
the proportion of part to 800 of water,
Ia teaspoonful to gallon, or table
spoonful to pail.

s ldiers and Sailors Compensation.

1t is of the utmost Importance that
all soldiers and sailors should file com
pensat.on papers if they have at any
time in the service received wounds,
beer gassed or had any bodily ailment
or disease (such as Influenza The
man having had such experience might
not have i'll results at the present, but
might develop them later.
For this reason, although his applica-
ton may be disregarded now, if in the
future such results should develop, the
fact that the application was on file
would help very much his chances for
receiving compensation This must be
done within one year after discharge
The Home Service department Of the
Red Cross will be very glad to help any
one in filing such application.

Academy Notes

The old members of the faculty
gave an informal reception to those
entering this year, Saturday evening
at the home of Principal Davis. A
very enjoyable evening was passed
playing whist.
The results of the voting held last
Friday for the officers of the Athletic
Association were announced this
morning in chapel. Merton Aston
was elected president by a unlni-
nous vote. Miss Olga McClary, vice
presidena; Miss Maude Hall, treas
urer; Miss Iris Underwood, 3ecsc-
tary The office of assistant foot ball
manager was also vacant, Leo
Morgan was chosen to serve in that
position.
After very little preliminary prac-
tice and scrimmaging, the Foot Ball
squad journeyed to Barre, Saturday,
to play Spaulding High school. And
altho the score at the end of the
game was not exactly favorable, the
attitude of determination and grit
with which our squad of compare
lively green men met Spaulding's al
most perfect machine, held them
down to a fifteen to nothing victory.
In the first half Spaulding gained
most of her ground on wide end runs,
scoring two touchdowns and one goal
in the first period and one safety in
the second period. But at the begin
ming of the second half the St. J. A.
boys gradually found themselves and
settled down to play foot ball. Ash
ton gained for himself reputation
which might not look well i'll print,
but it is needless to say that he LETT
his trademark upon more than one of
of the Granite city lads that some
how got in his way.
Harvey and Bowen made some no.
ticeable tackles and Lanpher inter-
copied a forward pass for about 20
yards. Only once during the last half
was the st. ]. A. goal in DANCE: and
then the Spaulding left end got away
with a forward pass and carried it
to within few feet of the goal line.
But by this time he st. ]. A. boys
were fighting and altho the Spauld-
ing plugged the line for four downs,
it was in vain. st. Johnsbury'S line
up in Saturdays game was as fol-
lows: Warden, quarterback; Lam
pher, May, halfbacks; Ashton. full
back; Osgood, center; French, Ham
ilton and Gilfillan, guards; Harvey,
Lyster tackles; Bowen, Shores and
Hunter, ends.

Chance for Vermont Boys

Another chance for some Vermont
boy to enter on a military or naval
career is again open through the
announcement that Senator Carr
S. Page has the power to appoint a
candidate for West Point and one fol-
Annapolis, by competitive ex;lnina-
ton to be held at Norwich Univer-
sity, Mortified, on October %. The
appointments, as has always been the
case, will be solely on merit, the
youths passing the highest in the ex-
aminations being designated for the
academies.
1t is necessary to say but little con-
corning the advantages offered by an
Annapolis or West Point education.
Even although man may not desire
a military or naval career. the oppor-
tunity, to receive at the hands of the
government, the best that can be Of
fered for an all round education-not
only as regards books, but everything
that goes to make up the mental, mo-
raj and physical man,-is one that
should not be considered lightly.

nAmen Corner"

The phrase "amen corner" Is said to
have originated in London, where, at
the end Of Paternoster row, the monks
at enc time finished their recitation Of
the "Pater Noster" as they went in
procession on Corpus Christi day TO
st. Paul's cathedral. They began in
Paternoster room with the Lords
prayer in Latin, continuing it to the
end of the street, and then said
amen at the corner of the row. AS
used in this country the phrase de-
scribes the corner of church where
the elderly members sit and pronounce
the word "amen" at intervals.

PRESS COMMENT
Suggested Legislative Reform
(Rutland Heraldl

In well-considered.= article, the
Burlington News joins The Herald
Brattleboro Reformer and other state
papers in advocating a threetoIl
system for the Vermont legislators,
the plan being to revise the consti-
tuition so that at least one-third of
the, membership each year shall DC
men who have served at least one
previous term. This plan is feasible.
1t deprives no town, large or small,
of any constitutional rights of repre-
sntation, and it ought to increase the
efficiency of the assembly consider
