vice has usually been 10 defer the
planting Of young fruit trees until an

where trees have been bought and the

trees and protect them with cheese
cloth coverings. Such protection can
be made practically absolute. The
coverings need not be put on until the
insects have emerged from the ground
when it can be determined whether
they are sufficiently numerous TO make

put on, the covering should be allowed
to remain until the insects are gone.
The protection can be made pracu-
cally absolute. The cheesecloth should
be gathered and tied in below the
branches and extend upward to cover
practically all the foliage, being gath

manner as to leave n small cluster Of
leaves free. This method can be ap-

FROM HEN TO KITCHEN,
5000 MILES.

Eight thousand miles TO market is a
long way even for staple foods to
travel, but when eggs make such a
long trip it is "going some" These
eggs, 800 cases of them--came all
the way from China to New York City
via Vancouver, and travelled slowly by
boat and train.
When they arrived at New York
they were examined by representa-
tive of the Bureau of Markets, De-
partment of Agriculture, who reports
that the eggs were packed in cases
similar to the ones used in domestic
trade but made of heavier material,
resembling pine, of about the same
thickness as is used in domestic ex-
port cases. The average net weight
of eggs per case was about 40 pounds.
The Chinese eggs were Of deep
brown color and slightly smaller than
the average domestic egg. The ship
ment showed losses Of from II to Is
eggs per case. Under the light, some
Of the eggs Showed quite heavy
shrinkage, while others were very full.
lhe whites were weak in number Of
eggs, and when they were broken
showed very watery, though the eggs
were sweet, and the yolks stood up
veil. The shells of these eggs are
much thicker than the average Amer
lean egg, and the yolk is of some
what deeper color. When candled these
2ggs are said to make first-class cheap
eggs for the use of bakers and hotels
md for cooking purposes. AS receiv-
ed, before Gambling and repacking,
they sold at about 8 cents below the
quotation for frsts.
China is one of the principal sources
If dried and powdered eggs. Manu-
facturers of prepared products in this
are said to be interested in
.he possibilities of dried and powder
I'd, eggs, especially in view of the in
creased use of such products in ready
mixed fiours and in bakeries.

it effects corporations has been held
under the direction Of Collector Of In

Office in Portsmouth, N. H., and the
field officers attending this school are
now reporting to their particular as
signments throughout the New Hamp-
shire District, which includes Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont. These
officers will be located at principal cit
les and towns in each county Of the
district, and all corporations and indi-
viduals wishing information and as
sistance are expected To see them.
AS these officers must be in posi-
ton to be reached by all taxpayers,
the taxpayer must present his par
ticular case to the field deputy at his
office rather than TO expect him TO
visit them, otherwise it would work
an injustice to those who might call
at a deputy's office and find him out.
These field officers willadvertise extern
sively through the newspapers and
their exact location on GER
tain dates so that their service may
be available to every taxpayer.

We just received some things from

Those things were given to us but
what we get from the Y. M. G. A. we
pay cash for and also as rule more
than we should and then they wonder
why we don't like them and when at
the front we did not even hear from
them. When we were in the Toul sec

doughnuts and sent into the front line
to US and they were under fire all the
time, and at last shell came too
close and of course that was the last

that the ladies in the Salvation Army
did more for their strength, financially
than the Y and believe me the front
was no place for ladies.

DISTRICT NURSING ASSO-
CIATION CAMPAIGN,

During the ten days since the cam
paign for support Of the District
Nursing Association in the form Of
pledges Of annual contributions was
started the result has been very graf
flying. Up TO Tuesday morning al
cards had been returned pledging a
total of one hundred-ninety dollars.
If those who have not yet returned
their cards will act promptly the nee
essary total should be covered.
There has been little confusion
as TO the meaning Of the pledge card.
The pledge card is merely a record for
reference of the amount which the in
diyidual pledges to give annually. The
month of the year in which the indi-
vidual prefers to make the payment
is indicated on the card Az men
toned previously It is naturally un-
derstood that cards may be recalled
at any time by the person signing
same and that pledges are automat-
ically cancelled when the individual
moves from town.
There have been two or three sub
stantial pledges. one as high as SIS.
In the main the cards are marked
SL00, $500, $500 or $500.
Acknowledgements Of money receiv-
ed will be forwarded TO individuals
within a very few days.

A year or so ago the Democratic
boosters took delight in likcning
Woodrow Wilson to Abraham Lincoln.
hey overlooked, however, one impor-
ant distinction-Lincoln did not as
ume TO exercise the powers of both

ranch Of the Government. Having
I'D some experience in Congress him

~ that members Of Congress might
ave some opinions that were worth

VERMONT STATE SEAL
Some One in New York Has Queer
Conception of What II Is.
Your son,
CHAPI.iI.

Conception of What II Is.
One of the features Of the big par
ade in New York City last Tuesday
in honor of the return from France Of
the 9th Division was a "court of hon
or" on the marble esplanade in from
Of the public library on Fifth avenue
between 40th and AID streets. There
sat veterans of the Civil War, and the
Spanish American War, from all the
i8 states, and at the base of the ten
pylons of FURNISHED spears and shields
had been deposited wreaths and what
were designed to be coat of arms OF
seals for each State in the Union
These wreaths were said to have been
sent from each State.
The Burlington Free Press receiy-
ed from a New York news photo SER
vice a photograph Of the thing which
was supposed to be the Vermont State
seal. No illustration was published
by that paper and the photo has been
returned with thanks. In this con-
nection the Rutland News makes this
pertinent comment:
"The seal resembled Vermont's seal
as closely as hippopotamus resem-
bles Memorial library. Its background
was an iceberg or possibly Mt. McKin-
ley. In the right foreground was a
structure in lemon-yellow of Spanish
or Moorish type of architecture that
looked like a cross between a monas-
terry and a hay-barn. In the FORE
ground was palm tree. The wreath
was made up of greens that grow ev-
erywhere and a bulbous or cone-shap-
ed flower or growth never seen in Yer
mont and which the tenth person ask
ed (thc first nine hadn't the slightest
idea what it was) said it was a red hot
pocus.
"of course the seal and the wreath
never saw Vermont. The incident is
given simply as a little side-light or
further proof Of the weakness, the
hollowness, the thickness, if not the
DOWNRIGHT dishonesty of the Hearst
Hylan rule in New York"

Who Is Your Hero?

Dead Heads, The Modern Judas, and
Who Is Your Hero7
1t is not yet announced which lee
ture will be given, but any one Of them
will be a distinct event in the COM
munity.
There will be Albert Erward Wig
gam, one Of the foremost lecturers on
popular science subjects in America.
He has been called .'The Apostle Of
the New Efficiency" because Of his
unique treatment Of the ever interest
ing subject of Heredity. His subject
will be climbing the Family Tree.
The lecturer who will prove of as
great interest as any is +. Z. Tile
mont -Thomason, renowned English
lecturer scientist and business man.
He will make special trip to Amer
lea to bring to Community Chautau-
qua audiences this summer most
timely and interesting message. His
subject will be Echoes OF the German
Revolution. He will give accurate
descriptions of what has been going
on in Germany since the eleventh Of
last November, and from his extra
ordinary knowledge of Germany and
the Germans he is able authoritative
ly to state what we may expect of
Germany in the future.
All in all a great treat is in store
for everybody. 1t is planned to put
the season tickets on sale at least a
month in advance and it will greatly
assist the local committee if everyone
will plan to get their tickets early.

just few lines to let you know

As you know we like to hear from
home and now it means more than
when we we're with the old company
as we are more lonesome. When you
get this letter the Second Corps will
be in the States and / sure wish | was
one of the bunch. But we are here
but that does not say that we will
not be home soon. IL may be two
months, or it may be more or less.
Am in the kitchen, have been Civ
ing the pots and pans cleaning
Have given them squads left and
right. Tomorrow is general inspec-
ton and everything has to be in shape.
The inspector will walk through the
kitchen and look everything over, then
TO the mess hall, from there to the
barracks where he is going to find
my pup tent over my bunk to keep
the water from dripping on me. Is
awfully muddy here but it was worse
in the camp where we were. The bar
racks are made Of sheet steel.
To be honest with you l think VIC
viii cross sometime in March, but to
put any faith in what we hear is of
no use.
You spoke OF the Goth Division.
They are coming to this camp so am
going 10 try and see some Of the
home boys. Some Of the 26th Diyi-
