physician had eaid that q pint of liquor
would last in such cases for about two
days and n hslf. The candidate then went
on to tell instances of where liquor had
saved lives, and where the lack of 1t had
meant loss of life.
They have taken away the workers
beer and they have offered In its place
jamaica ginger and rat poison" declared
Mr.. Agan.
Mr.. Agan then took up the road dues-
ton. He deplored the spending of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars on the ROADS
Of Vermont without better results. The
trouble, he said, is that there is only
about so per cent efficiency in road work
and that there is too much politics mixed
with the gravel. He advocated the en-
ployment of mores trained men on the
roads and the making of a new road law
which will make the State highway COM
missioner directly responsible for all the
roads In the State, and then let him ap-
point the superintendent to have charge
Of roads under him. Mr.. Agan declared
that graveled roads do not last and are
too expensive to keep up. We should
adopt hard surface road and system
of drainage like that used In France
where the water drains naturally into the
bitches at the side Of the road. Crushed
stone should be used in place OF gravel
and the roads should be covered with tar
to preserve them.
In regard to the money for road
building, Mr.. Agan said that much
would be saved through the new sys-
TEN. Then there should he new tax
for automobiles. At present the owner
of a Ford car pays $22 on his 800 car,
while the owner of n Pterce-Arrow
pays only about s44 on his $1,000 car
1T is manifest. said Mr.. AEan. that, II
these cars were placed on the property
lists OF the men in the verious towns
where they live, the amount would be
much different. The candidate ad-
vocated a law whereby the owner OF
the higher priced car would pay cor
| responding fee for his license. Such a
law, with the extra revenue and the
putting of this revenue into proper
road system would save the car own
ers of Vermont from s1.500,ooo to
| 81. 600. 900 a year, according to Mr.
Agans figures.
| In closing. Mr. Agan took up ex-
penses of the campaign. 81 do not be-

CHRISTOPHER PEST
Poisoned Bran BAIT Rest Why to &c,
Ria OF Destructive Insect.

GrasshOppers have caused a great deal
Of trouble in this section OF the country
this summer. Many farms in Chittenden
county have been infested with these OBJ
noxtous pests until large part Of the
crops has been literally destroyed. The
grasshoppers have come In swarms and
preyed upon the grain. the grass in the
pastures and all sorts OF growing things
They have even attacked small gardens
and. In some cases, eaten up the vege-
tables to such an extent that they were
useless. In fact. these pestiferous bugs
have performed havoc which nearly equals
that which fell upon the land of Egypt
In the days Of the children of Israel and
the hard-hearted Pharaoh.
But there Is remedy for this pest Of
grasshoppers, according to agricultural
experts. Through the cooperation of the
United States Department of Agriculture
and the Extension Service of the Univer-
sity of Vermont, circulars are being dis
| tributed through the Farm Bureaus and
through other sources to the farmers tell
ing them how the grasshopper pest may
be handled.
According to this pamphlet young grass
hoppers hatch in the spring from eggs
/ laid In the ground the previous fall OF
| late summer. The simplest and most re-
liable remedy for destroying grasshoppers
! Ia by means of poison bats, especially
the poisoned bran bait. This method has
been applied with great success through.
out many portions of the United States
| The poisoned bran bait is made up as
| follows: Wheat bran. % pounda: Paris
green or white arsenic, one pound lem
ons or oranges six finely chopped fruits
! low-grade molasses, such as refuse from
sugar factories. or cattle molasses, known
as BLACK strap" two quarts; water. two
! to four gallons
The bran and poison are thoroughly
mixed while dry. The fruits are then fine.
ly chopped and added. And. lastly. the
molasses and water are poured over the
bait and the whole thoroughly kneaded
A coarse-flaked bran Ia most desirable, al.
though where this cannot he obtained cas-
lily. ordinary mddlings or alfalfa may be
substituted. A ow-Hrade strong-smelline
syrup or molasses, however. Is essential
to the entire success OF the undertaking
Crushed ripe tomatoes. watermelons. OF
lines may be substituted for the lemons
or oranges. If necessary. Five to sever
pounds OF the mixture should be estimated
per acre.

IRA ALLEN STATUE
NEARLY COMPLETED
Gift of James B. Wilbur to Uni
versity of Vermont Is Ac-
cepted-Seven Feet in Height,
ii Will Stand on Pedestal of
Barre Granite

Walter II. Crockett, In charge Of pub
liclty at the University OF Vermont, re-
turned Thursday morning from New York
where he spent Wednesday in company
with James B. Wilbur of Manchester, the
man who Is presenting the statue Of Ira
Allen to the university Mr.. Crockett and
Mr.. Wilbur visited the studio of Sherry
Fry the sculptor, and inspected the statue,
which Is nearly completed. They we're
very much pleased with the statue. Noted
critics and artists who have viewed 1t
consider 1t one Of the finest pieces of its
kind that has been done in this country
In long time. After suggesting few
slight changes, Mr.. Wilbur and Mr..
Crockett accepted the statue, and II will
be completed very soon.
The statue Is seven feet in height. The
costume Is OF the period in which Ira
Allen lived, knee breaches. buckled shoes,
stock. etc. The arrangement Of the coat,
the neck piece, and the upper part OF the
figure In general is taken from n very ra re
painting Of Ira Allen. which is now the
property OF the university.
As a background for the holder outlines
OF the figure, long cloak. thrown back
so that 1t does not obstruct O. full length
view, but so that It, forms a pleasing eff

This drapery improves the general ap-
pearance of the statue, especially from
the rear.
1t is probable that the pedestal on which
the statue will be placed will be formed
of Barre granite. The pedestal will not
