STUNT DAY
Fillmore and Clark in Their
Green AirpIane to Do Aeri-
al Stunts Friday Afternoon.

al otunts friday Afternoon
On Friday of last week a Cur
tis JN4 airplane, piloted by
Messrs. Fillmore and Clark, land
ed at Rockingham, in the Leal
field on Watson Heights, anc
since that time quite a number
of people have enjoyed air rides
at SIS per ride. Several had the
added thrill of looping the loop
at S. extra. Sunday was the
big day., no less than "a passen
gers going up. The list of those
who have ridden to date, appears
below. The machine will likely
remain here for two weeks long.
er.
The aviators are desirous of
giving an exhibition flight Jan.
10th, at 2::30, at which time such
stunts as the falling leaf, Immel-
man turns, loop.the-loop, nose
dive, spiral glide, tail spin, etc.,
will be given by them. To cap
the climax, Aviator Clark will
walk out on the wings of the
machine, as it speeds through the
air under Pilot Fillmore's direct
ion. Several thousand circulars
will be distributed from the air
to the crowds below, and the first
person finding a certain misspelt
word on this circular and report
ing it to the Bank of Rockingham
will receive $500. The larger
part of the expense of this ex-
hibition was betrayed by the
who took spaces upon
this circular gotten out by the
aviators. So be on the lookout
Friday aft. and see such aerial
stunts as you've doubtless never
seen before.
On Sunday another airplane
landed here, this one coming from
Durham andbeing driven by Capt.
!. V. Dallin. This machine is a
yellow one, of the Curtis JN4
.ype, and has huge Bromo Selt-
,er signs upon it. Dallin' S
mechanic is Jim Davis, who used
o work at Hannah-Pickett Mill. ,

KINGS DAUGHTERS
To Celebrate the Eighteenth Birthday
Of The Silver Cross Circle Of the
Kings Daughters and Sons.

JNNAAs A~IAAt IN
Silver Cross Circle of the Kings
Daughters and Sons, will be
entertained, celebrating its eigh
teenth birthday, at the home o1
its leader, Miss Easdale Shaw
During the eighteen years Of its
life, we have held more or less
regular meetings, at which our
business matters have been dis
cussed, and our work reported
and planned. No body of women
or men, could have together more
harmoniously or unselfshly than
we, for we are banded together
IN His name for the betterment
OF conditions, the relief of suffer
ing, and the uplift of humanity,
IN every way possible to our abil-
ity. We have grown from ten
women to fifty women and as
many men, and our work has of
course grown in proportion as
there are an increasing number
of demands made upon our re-
sources. Sometimes the funds
in our treasury have been alarm
lngly low, but like the widows
cruise, it is never empty. Our
friends are all those who know
what we do, and they stand by
us loyalty, lending us whatever
assistance we need to help our
work along. And we do work!
With our minds, our hands,
our feet, and our tongues, we
work in any way that arises, for
our cause.
Last year, in addition to our
regular routine of efforts, we
made a splendid drive for money,
in January, which resulted most
splendidly in funds to replenish
our bank account, and we plan
ned then, to make it a yearly
visitation, but because of the
numerous other drives of various
lature during last year, we have
leclded not to have such a cam
'algn now, except among our
elves. However, knowing that
We have many friends who would

been with him only a few minutes before
we were chatting as pleasantly as old
tllicums. In the campaign four years ago
ne made many friends among the colored
voters and, if he runs this year. I am in.
cllned to think he will stand even higher
among them than he did four years ago. In
Snohomlsh county every coIored citizen,
his brother and his sister, are for Col.
Hartley for anything in a public way he
seeks, which speaks for itself that they
think ne will give them square deal.
There are upwards Of 10000 colored voters
in this state and if all of them would think
about Col. Hartley as do those in Snoho-
mlsh county, as popular as he is among the
white voters, | am of the opinion that he
would be much in the position as was the
lnshman, who inquired Of an ante-belum

citizens have begun to think of the cOlOrcd
man as do the red handed murderers OF
Georgia and Mississippi then more is the
pity and his the Negro s future is full and
overlooking with dark and dangerous fore
holdings. There is one ray of hope however,
to be seen in that Kansas lynching. Who
knows, owing to it's close proximity to Ok
lahoma and Texas, but that the spirit OF
that necktie party originated in Mississippi
and Texas and took that opportunity to put
The state of Kansas in the same class in that
particular as the most of the states of the
South. That the crime, which the man was
accused of committing was not one hun
dredth part as heinous as it has been
pictured is evidenced in the mob not lynch
ing the white man that was in company
with the colored man. when the crime is
alleged to have been committed but said
white man was simply arrested and his
only crime, in all probability, will be in the
fact of having been in the company of the
colored man. On the other hand, suppose
two colored men, instead of one and white
man, had been together when the crime was
committed. both of them would have met
the same fate. No, the colored man s crime
was not of itself SO henious. but the in
tolerance of the white men, so far as the
colored man is concerned, was what prompt
ed the lynchng of the colored man, the
sending Of the white man to prison. where
he will be mildly punished for being in com.
pany with a colored man. The Nervousness
of the black mans crime was due to his
complexion thousand times more over
than to the actual crime

state as they otherwise would receive they
had only themselves to blame
The forenoon session was given up
largely to an explanation Of various laws
and the corresponding plans of the high
way department, and at the afternoon
session, which opened at 100, it was
planned to devote most of the time to a
discussion of individual problems sug-
gested by different persons present.
Expenditure of the maintenance fund
was one of the subjects considered this
forenoon. This is a fund of $4,000 APP

the so-called permanent work
Another subject was the patrol system,
which also is paid for out of the automo-
bile fund Last year the mileage of pa
trolled highways was $50. This year it
is expected to be 1900 miles.
The question of street oiling, it was said

powdered form of arsenate of lead is used,
only half as much is needed as of the
paste. Arsenate of lime is a good sub
stitute and is cheaper than lead Begin
spraying as soon as the leaves start One
spraying might suffice, but it is better to
use second later on. As the beetle feed
on the under side of the leaves, the spray
must be directed there.
As to destroying the pupae, at Keene,
n. H., where the pest was extremely
plentiful in 1919, they were literally swept
up from the bases of the trees and burned,
a quart being sometimes found about one
tree 1t was estimated by the authori-
ties that eight or ten barrels of the IN
sects were thus destroyed The leaves
were raked and burned thus doing away
with many struggling beetles in various
stages Spraying the trunks and ada
cent ground with kerosene emulsion or
other contact insecticides such as nicotine
solutions would do good work, but great
care must be taken in such applications
not to use so much material that the
roots of the tree will be injured Boiling
water has been recommended for the pur-
pose On warm days in early spring,
many adults might be killed about attic
windows
Besides the fact that the elm is pre-
eminently shade tree, several other
factors combine to make this beetle a
shade tree pest; for generally it is only on
city or village streets and parks that
elms stand closely together, and while the
insect is found on elms scattered through
out the country districts, its attacks there
are less concentrated. Also, insectivorous
birds are few in the larger communities;
and still further, there presumably is a
lower percentage of mortality among the
adults in the secure winter quarters af-
forded by close rows of buildings along
the streets than is the case where bark
crevices are principally resorted to.
Several villages within the infested
sections have already procured power
spraying outfits When not spraying the
public trees, sthese machines arc operated
upon private property at cost to the
owners This appears to he the most
practicable method of handling the situa-
ton
Public authorities should see to the
destruction of the insects at the bases of
public trees, as has been explained, and
should encourage private owners of trees
to do the same-Barre Times

THE ELM LEAF BEETLE.
Gaining Control in Southern and West
ern vermont-Manner of Control.

The elm leaf beetle demands the serious
attention of all those interested in the
protection OF the fine elms in the towns
and villages of a large section of Vermont,
and the Vermont department of agri-
culture has just sent out circular des-
criblng it, its habits, the damage it does
and the way to control it.
Last summer the ravages of the insect
showed a marked increase and one New
Hampshire town suffered veritable
scourge OF the pest. In Vermont the bee
tie so far has been noted in Windsor,
Springfield, Bellows Falls, Saxtons River,
Brattleboro, Pownal Bennington, Shafts
bury, POultney, Rutland and Middlebury
NO spread of the insect has been noted
during the past six years above Windsor
IN the Connecticut river valley, nor away
from the larger valleys into the towns of
higher altitude, even in the southern
part of the state. 1t has advanced north
ward along the Otter Greek valley and it
may be expected to proceed as far, at
least, as Burlington.
During the winter the beetles hide
themselves away under lose bark scales,
within cracks i'll poles, posts, etc, and
quite frequently in attics and unused
rooms OF buildings into which they work
their way around the windows. They
are of a yellowish color, with dark
stripe down each wing cover, and about
quarter of an inch long. As soon as
leaf buds begin to open the beetles appear
from their winter quarters and begin
feeding on the leaves
Elm is the only food plant of this insect
II is the skeletonizing Of the leaves by the
larvae which severely damages the trees
Often every leaf is affected, many carl
up and drop off, while others which re-
main on are OF no value in supporting
the life of the tree Two such attacks as
this generally suffice to kill a tree. Often
partial defoliation causes certain branches
to die, and lesser attacks tend constantly
to weaken the tree and render it non
resistant to other insects and diseases
Only two measures are known with
which to combat this insect, spraying the
trees with poison or destroying the
pupae and pupating larvae at the base Of
the trees Public authorities may help
by the first method and individuals by
second
Arsenate of lead, four or five pounds o.
the paste to 80 gallons of water, is thu
right proportion for spraying. Ii the

were rejected by the secretary of the
commonwealth yesterday because they
did not give the name of any party and
failed to comply with requirements of the

In addition to being without any party
designation the papers did not present
the occupation of Mr. Ford and did not
contain the affidavit of the man whom
they offered for the primary that lie was

the defects were called to the attention
