REFORESTATION WOULD
ENRICH ALL VT. TOWNS
Prof. Flint Says it Would Make
Them Pay all the Taxes and
Bring Dividends

At recent address given in Mont
pelier Prof. K. r. B. Flint of Nor
witch university gave his audience
some figures relative to the need of
reforestation and the result that can
be obtained if the towns will take the
matter up earnestly. He showed
by comparisons that Vermont can,
like Europe, reduce its taxes a great
deal in the next 30 years to 80 years.
He quoted figures from the state
forester showing there is an average
of 5000 acres of land in each town
in the state which is waste land at
present and which could be used for
reforestation purposes. He cited
Orsen, Swden, a small place much
like some of the Vermont towns,
where they have worked out the plan
so well that there are no taxes to
be paid, nor telephone charges, these
being taken care of from the sale OF
lumber from the town forests and in
some years dividend has been paid
the residents of the town.
Prof Flint inquired how the tax
payers of towns in Vermont paying
So or more taxes per hundred would
( like to receive a dividend once. He

! house or the like they vote to cut some
of their reserve forest. They de-
clared a dividend in 1914. He also
! gave some other comparisons along
! the same line tending to show how
| far backward Vermont is in the
reforestating plan and the big re
suits that could be realized if there
was local governing board tina
would keep the plan under way ant
which would be giving posterity ;
great lift and relieve them of man,
obligations that the present da
citizen has to meet.

fBY United Pren

New York, July 1.-The Cobb sun that has been lighting the ways of baseball for 15 years seems to be set ting behind the clouds. Slow of late years in getting started on his an nual achievement of the greatest in the nationas pastime, the Detroit star has been so tardy in getting under way this season that baseball is lis tening for his valedictory.
 Cobb has justly been considered the greatest of all players. His feats have so far overshadowed his nearest rivals that fandom despaired of ever seeing youngster from the new school rise up and take his place.
 "Who will fill the shoes of Cobb when he steps out?" has been the makings of an argument for years The question has gone without ans wer until this year. Put the query to any fan today and he'll answer Babe Ruth" without hesitation. Filling the shoes of the great Ty is a herculean assignment, but the Yankee Babe not only promises to do that but threat ems to make a record that vii stamp Cobb as the No. 2 of all time
 Cobb has batted over 300 in fl of his 15 years career. He has been the leading hitter of the American League in F out of 13 seasons. The peak of his greatness was achieved in 1912 when he batted APO, his lowest mark was in 1906 when he finished with an average of .320. In 1927 games of IA seasons he has stolen 768 bases. His speed, skill and daring on the bases was a big factor in earning his sobriquet as "The Great" The same feetness of foot made him the star fieflder of the league.
 A great record he has made, but Babe has record himself. Consider ing Ruth not as the greatest home run hitter of all times, not as the greatest attraction in the history of the game and the highest priced bit of baseball flesh in the major leagues, but as an all-around ball player and he is almost there.

Babe Ruth is a first class pitcher. Given a regular turn in the box there Is little doubt that he would be the best southpaw in the league. He is first class baseman. He has proved his ability on the first corner and keeps brushed upon the infeld game by working out almost daily on the initial sack during batting practice.
 Ruth is a first class outfelder, also. He's fast on his feet, has excellent judgment, fine wing and a wise head. As batter he shines the greatest, of course. Cobb scored countless hits by his f1eetness in beating out infeld rollers. Ruth smacks his where they ain't." His hits are all clean. By a terrific swing of football shoulders, Ruth set high mark last season with 20 homers. This season he promises to run the number to between 40 and 50.
 In his palmy days, Cobb was con sidered the games greatest drawing card, but Ruth has played to more fans in one-third of season this year than Cobb ever did in any one of his great years. He is batting .345 this year and in four of his past five years he has been in the 300 class. New York fans herald Babe as the greatest all-round ball player of ail times. The records may bear them out.

HOW HOG NANCE IS SPREAD

Hog mango is spread mainly by di.

~estigations recently conducted by the
United States department of agricul-
ture. The disease is contracted most
rapidly among hogs of low vitality.
especially those kept In small inclos-
ures. 1t spreads more slowly among
vigorous animals kept in pastures or
In clean. well-lighted roomy pens or
buildings. Failure by swine owners
to control hog mango results In heavy
