| While there is large amount OF
unemployment in Burlington at pres
ent and most of the industries which
remain in operation are flooded with
requests for positions, the men have
either accumulated SURPRISES enough
to tide them over or they finally Sc
cure employment. The farmers still
remain in a position to absorb large
amounts of labor through haying.
Some of those who came from Canada
have returned there, with the shutting
down of mills. At the present time

American Wooden company and the
Vermont Milk Chocolate company are
closed down, either entirely or par

Governor Percival w. Clement
again refuses to call special session
of the Vermont Legislature to ratify
the federal amendment for woman
suffrage, and in a formal proclama-
ton, gives his reasons therefor, chief
among them being, says Clement,
that the proposed amendment clearly
invades the constitution of Vermont;
that the present legislature was elect
ed before the question of ratifying
the federal amendment had arisen,
and that the people of the state have
had no opportunity to express them
selves on the issue. The governor
proposed that the matter be taken up
by the next legislature and urged
that candidates for election be requir-
ed to declare themselves on the mat
ter. Gov. Clement in his proclama-
ton declared that the federal consti-
tuition "as it stands and is interpret
ed by the supreme court today threat
ems the foundation of free popular
government" 1t is said Lieutenant
Governor Stone may call a special
session should Governor Clement alb
sen& himself from the state.
Observations of II. L. Bailey, in
charge of insect suppression for the
Vermont department of agriculture,
point to the probability of large
number of fall web worms during the
next months. They are native insects,
not generally plentiful enough to be
| important. Occasionally, however,
they become so abundant as to threat
en- the foliage of many orchards and
shade trees; and in such cases may be
controlled by spraying with arsenate
of lead at the rate of two pounds
| (dry) to so gallons of water. Groups
of the insects make their presence
apparent by spinning grey webs over
the leaves which they are eating.
Sometimes large branches become
completely covered with such webs.
A great many rosy dryocampa moths,
adults of the green striped maple
worms, so-called, have also been OBJ

naples will suffer attacks from this
species. Spraying, as for the web
worm, is recommended in cases of
small trees or whatever else it may be
feasible.

He tackled the man and during the

for help. DR.. o. v. Green came tc
his assistance and together they sub
dued the man who gave his name as
