BLIND TOM VALLEY
 PLAYS THE DRUMS
Was First Blind Sailor to Enter Red Cross Institute At
 Baltimore
Pomfret Boy Loses Sight While In
 Service

In recent issue of the Evergreen Review" little publication printed in the interest of the Red Cross Insti- | ute for the Blind, mention is twice made of Thomas Malley of Pomfret- who became blind following an attack of meningitis. and was the first blind sailor to enter the Baltimore instits- | tion
 In the first article is told of the in- reduction of music into the currieu- lum of the school and of the intro duction of the drums into the school orchestra The drums furnish the necessary rhythm for dancing. There were q number of men studying the drums and two, Frank Witt and Thom as Malley, became very proficient and were able to join the Musicians Un- ion of Baltimore i picture of three musrians. including Malley, appears with the article
 In the second article, Who's Who Among Our Buddies, reference Is again made to these two young men, and it is stated that they are among the youngest at the institute, and that each was connected with the naval branch of the government. In regard to Malley the article says, Tom was the first blind sailor to come to Ever green; in fact. he was one of the first to enter the institution. Born in Pom fret, Conn.,. in March. 1897, he had his early education in the paroehial schools of Worcester. Mass, reaching the second year in high school. In December, 1917. he went to the train ing station at Newport, R. l., later go- ing to the receiving ship, C. W. Morse, in the Brooklyn navy yard, becoming a member of the ships company.
 A month after his enlistment twen- ty-three men were afflicted with spinal meningitis. All but Malley died, and he was left totally blind. The next four months he spent in hospital and after months interval was sent to Evergreen, May 28. 1918, from the Brooklyn hospital
 After giving a similar outline sketch of Frank Viti the article concludes: ]: Neither of these young men seemed, for long time. to find anything in the work at Evergreen to satisfy them. although zach of them showed a fondness for music When the mu- sical department of the institution was formerly opened their interest was aroused. and has increased stead fly. 1t is no exaggeration to say that both of these young men have found themselves through thelr love for music The day k never long enough for either of them to finish his prae- tieing. Recently they have acquired so much facility that they have been able to play to the satisfaction of all parties concerned side by side with professional musicians. who play for the mid-week dances Of the institute All who knew these young men year ago have commented on their remark able improvement which is to be seen in both of them. and it is to be hoped that music may prove to be praeti- cal Open sesame for their future support.

Blowing Wheat
May Be Stopped
By Listing Burrows

Many Inquiries have come in ask
ing now 1t would be possible TO pre-
vent soils blowing and thus save the
loss Of winter wheat by blowing out.
Accordingly. Prof. Kezer of the Colo
rado Agricultural College was inter-
viewed He replied:
Most Of the damage from blow
ing has already been done Blowing
can be controlled, however, fit is
taken in time Possibly another year
there will be more growers taking the
situation in hand in time to make
preparations for preventing blowing.
and thus reduce losses.
IF the land is dry. any of our soils
will blow Some protection can be
afforded by drilling the grain cross
wise the prevailing direction of the
winds On new lands, full of organic
matter. this, protection will probably
be sufficient in most cases. On lands
that have been under the plow for sew
eral years. in which the organic mat
ter has been reduced, or on sandy
lands. this cross drilling will not fur
nish sufficient protection. The trou-
BILE with blowing is that the winds
start the soil to moving. Moving soil
loosens up more soil. pulverizes ii. and
soon heavy damage and soil movement
results. A few lister burrows put in
crosswise the direction of the prevail
ing winds will almost completely con-
troll the blowing. The blowing can be
stopped, even after it is started. by
throwing in the burrows. two or
three. then leaving a space of a few
rods, then throwing in a. few more

quently must the listed burrows be
thrown in.
Good farming and the rotation OF
crops will reduce the danger But
when blowing commences. the throw
ing in of listed burrows constitutes the
best protection for the immediate stu
alton. Often few listed burrows at
the winward side of the field will pro-
tect the whole field. Sometimes it
is necessary to put in burrows more
frequently at. intervals of from four
to 20 rods OF course. the listed fur
rows will kill out some wheat, but
only a relatively small amount, and
will protect the wheat that is left
which might otherwise be killed"

Attempted Robbery
At Florence

FLORENCE, April 24.-Shortly
after 10 O'Clock last night, when Mr.
and Mrs. George Rayburn were on
their way home from the T. H. Nor
rissey residence in West Florence.
where they had been spending the
evening. they stopped in the down
town store for a few minutes. When
they enterde they left the front door
ajar. Mr.. Rayburn went to the rear
of the store TO inspect the back door
while Mrs. Rayburn walked behind
the counter, and was in the act of
picking up a package of butter to take
home, when she noticed the object of
a man crouching near the safe. She
naturally became frightened and
screamed. but before Mr.. Rayburn
reached the front part of the store the
intruder pulled his cap down over his
eyes and made his escape through the
front door and quickly disappeared up
the street.
To all appearances the would be rob
ber was a young boy and this theory
is substantiated by q coat found out
side the window of the store by the
police. Entrance was gained by the
breaking of glass in one of the rear
windows. Nothing of value is miss
ing. for the intruder had evidently not
been in the store long when Mr.. and
Mrs. Rs.-hurn entered. There is moth
ing in the coat through which to
identify the owner, but it was pur-
chased at local store about a year
ago. There was can of smoking to-
bacco, a screw driver. pair of scis-
sors and pair of white canvas gloves
in the pockets.
That the attempted robbery is To-
cal affair there is no doubt, and the
police authorities expect to locate the
owner of the coat in short time.
An attempt was made to enter the
back door of the Ricketts, secondhand
store last night by springing the lock.
but this plan failed. II is thought to
have been the same boy found in the
Rayburn store, but he evidently had
an accomplice

lows Home. is carrying out some i'm
provements at that institution this
spring that will add much to the ap-
pearance OF the property large
area in front OF the home is being
seeded to blue grass. and beautiful
lawn will add beauty to the surround
ines this summer. A large number OF
ornamental and shade trees are be-
ing set out, shrubs planted and flower
beds established, which will still fur
tber enrance the attractiveness of the
place Gardening is being conducted
on an extensive scale and farming op-
erations carried on for the purpose of
making the home as nearly self-sup-
porting as possible.
!, That the home is fulfilling the ex-
pectations OF its founders and justify
ing the sacrifices made by the mem
bers OF the order in Colorado for its
establishment and maintenance is evil
denced by It's neat. cleanly appearance
and its excellent management and the
number of dependents it is housing
and taking care of. The children's
department, is practically full and the
capacity OF the home for aged. infirm
and INDECENT odd Fellows is under
stood to have reached its limit
Plans are being arranged for a
Homecoming day at the home dur
ing the last week In May, at which
time an effort will be made to bring
as many Odd Fellows and members
OF the Rebekah lodge here as possible
in order that they may have an op-
portunity OF inspecting the property
and OF learning something OF its be-
nehcence and management. IL is
hoped to induce representatives from
every Odd Fellows and Rebekah
lodge in the state to attend the home

As result OF the inspection OF Wis
itors at that time an endeavor will
be made to secure an appropriation
from the next grand lodge meeting OF
$4,000 for improvements and exten-
sions at the home.
