Johnson, Aug 13.--lt has just
been learned that Miss Amy Shonio,
whose body was found in back of the
cemetery some time ago, was choked
to death after an attempt had been
made to perform an Illegal operation.
The revocation of these facts led to
the exhuming of the girls body from
the River Bank cemetery in Stowe
yesterday after a permit had been
issued by the health authorities and
the permission of the girls father Sc
cured. No information regarding the
developments that might have been

said Mr.. Hartness attempted tc
pass motor truck loaded with furni

hitting the side OF the truck
Although both cars were going slow at
the time the impact was suflicient
to cause considerable damage to Mr.
Hartness' new car The truck was
not damaged to any extent and none
was hurt.
Just after the accident happened
the drivers of both cars got out to
see the extent of the damages done tc
the cars AS they were standing
there. both cars occupied the middle
of the road, a Ford touring car with
five passengers rounded the corner
at a high rate of speed. The only
choice the driver of the Ford has was
to smash into the two cars that had
just coll ded, or endeavor to turn
ide He attempted the latter but
added considerably to the scene by
smashing into a telpehono pole. The
occupants of the Ford car were
shaken up, though not injured.

POTATO FIELDS SHOW
SOME LATE BLIGHT
Most Serious of Diseases Makes It's
Appearance on Plots in This
Vicinity.

| The late blight, probably the most
serious Of all po,ato diseases, is now
prevalent in some fields. The disease
may be detected by the prevalence of
brown spots on the leaves, and on the
underS de a downy milldew is prevail
ent during damp weather. This
dowuy mildew furnishes spores,
which when transm ted to healthy
leaves infests them and eventually
the whole field dies from the ravages
lof he disease.
This disease, if it becomes univer-
sally prevalent at this time of year.
Will cause q decrease in yield, es.
pecially of late potatoes, of more than
so per cent. besides considerable rot.
Thorough and often spraying with
Bordeaux mixture is the best preven-
tative measure, bu, after the field has
been badly diseased. spraying is not
effective, eXcep. where it may help to
decrease the amount of rot in the
tubef.
To the person who has a field badly
infested with blight, there is always
the ques ion of just when the digging
should take place, to reduce the
amounl Of rot TO minimum 1t
should be remembered that these
diseased spores which cause the vines
to blight also cause the tubers to rot,
therefore, measures should be taken
to prevent the spores spreading. or
coming in contac with the tubers.
! The recommendation made by the
experiment stations and pract.ced by
most experienced potao growers, is
not to dig the potatoes until ten days
after ;he vines have died This will
give the blight spores a chance to
pass out of existence, lessening the
possibility of their coming in contact
with the tubers when they are being
dug.
I In some instances Of course the di-
sease passes through the ak and in
to the hill and causes rot in this
way, but ordinarily the danger from
this is not as great as digging the po-
tatoes and putting them in close con.
tao in storage On small areas 1t
would probably be advisable to pull
the tops take them from the field and
then dig the potatoes after ten days
or so and put them in cool storage,
and spread them wen out. bda this
practice, Of course, would not be pos
sible on larger areas. The general
Recommendation made by experiment
stations, is to let them rot in the

BURLINGTON PLANS
AERIAL MAIL SERVICE
Route Proposed by Way of Lake
Placid, N. r., to
Montreal.

Burlington, Aug. l4-Aerial mail
lington, Lake Placid, N. Y, and Mon
.treal, Canada, is the project now un-
der consideration by prominent avia-
ton promoters of Burlington city.
Major Parker, who is wen known in
burlington and who has a number of
Aero planes in Montreal states that
the project may be yentured, if not
established in the near future.
Major Parker has been comparing
time and cost OF getting mail to the
three points above mentioned The
comparison shows that it takes III
hours to go from Burlington TO Lake
Placid by train where it would take
but 40 minutes to 30 by plane. From
Lake Placid to Montreal requires six
hours by IRAN and it would take but
90 minutes by the proposed air
route. From Montreal to Burlington
would require three and half
hours and but so minutes by plane.
This shows the amount Of time that
could be saved by using the planes
not only for passenger but for mail
service.
Major Parker safes that it costs
$3.50 per ton mile to send mail by
train but that the proposed air route
would take mail for SIS ton per
mile An aerial express letter could
be sent from Burlington to Montreal
for $115.
Major Parker says thai if the pro
position is successful the planes will
no doubt be equipped with proper
facilities for Landing on the ice in
winter There will be number of
planes daily over the route and if
successful the service will continue
both summer and winter
