and labor. This has been proved again
and again by actual demonstration. Even
so insignificant a matter as ordering all
groceries at once instead of twice a day
means one less trip to answer the door
bell.
Use OF fireless cooker means that the
cook does not have to keep adding water,
or watch out that the meal does not
burn. Teaching the children to put away
their toys and help regularly with light
work means that the mother is saved
from a little of this routine.
Women as a whole are just beginning
to realize these things. Domestic labor
is problem that has been given up by
many housewives as hopeless. and they
are turning in to do all their work. At
the same time. womens clubs, politics
and achievements of women in so many
new lines inspire the housewife to cut
down her work so that she may take
her part in the new order. 1t seems
that at least a motive has been supplied
that Is powerful enough to make women
give serious thought to reducing house
work to it's lowest terms.

WILLISTON PAGEANT
Ideal Site Selected for Outdoor Dra-

Unfortunately, few people know Chit
tenden Park or realize the beauty OF the
place where the Williston pageant is to
be held. Located at the western edge or
Williston village, back of the residence
of Mrs Belle Clark, it is an ideal spot
for picnics and outings. At present there
is no good automobile road into the park,
although it is planned to build one
soon. Cars, however. can he left on the
meadow west of Mrs. Clark's residence
and a beautiful walk leads down into the
park. On the nights of August ii and l..
when the pageant will be given, cars Will
stop there and a stairway will be ready
for the use of all pedestrians A short
walk beside a babbling brook, alder
fringed. leads out into a natural amphl-
theatre. where the pageant Will be staseo'
The setting of trees, sloping hillside, brook

Chittenden Park may be better known
and more freely enjoyed by all who love

Within few miles of London is a
wall surrounding a churchyard. The wall
is covered with ivy, and in one of tho
bricks is a square hole.
Many years ago n spri- of the ivy
climbed through the hole, and gradually
the hole became filled up with the wood
of the ivy and it became absolutely
square, assuming its normal shape on
the other side of the square hole. If a
saplng was surrounded by a plaster of
paris or metal mold which was square
there is no reason why the wood of the
tree inclosed should not become
sQuare-in fact, the wonder would be il

NO COAL BY WATER
Unusual Situation In Burlington II
Connection With Fuel SunpIy

This year will be the first in a great
many that Burlington will not receive a
pound of coal by water TRANSPORT ton
The f. S. Adsit Coal company. which for
many years has used the water route to
some extent, has given it IN completely
this year. Just when it is needed the most,
tho water route is found to he of no use
to the coal men because of the congestion
in New York harbor. For the past few
wears the water route has been used by
coal men, not because it was more
economical but because the Adsit com
pany. as well as the Others was anxious
to get coal to Burlington by any route.
This year the long succession of strikes
has made il impossible to use the canal
boats to any advantage, and Burlip gton
will receive every pound Of it's coal by
rail. Tho coal men in this city have long
had their eye on a water route and some
of the companies are all equipped for
handling the goods by water Some bad
features of shipping by water were that the
coal had to be transferred and there was
a breakage loss when It was loaded on the
harpes. he reply was that nothing could be-
came excessive and there was no Ger,
tainty as to how long they would IN
obliged to lie In New York harbor. Las,
year some of the coal men tried to solve
the return load problem by inuuirins OF
the mines across the lake if they couldn
shin ore down and bring coal back in thei,
barges. The reply was that nothing b,
worked ont now although il might b,
next wear. Several barges are owned b,

52,616 HEAD OF CATTlE|
TESTED IN one YEAR
Vermont Believed to Lead All
Other States in the Country
in War Against Bovine Tu.
berculosis-Much Aid from
Federal Funds

The state of Vermont Ia believed to
lead all other states in the country in the
war against bovine tuberculosis, and the
report of the commissioner of agriculture
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920,
which is now being compiled. gives some
interesting Information regarding the
progress which is being made One thing
is shown, and that is that Vermont got
the largest share Of the federal aid funds
of any state in the Union because It was
first to take advantage of it and then
made the best possible use of government
aid.
During the fiscal year. which ended June
June 30. 52,6l6 head of cattle were tested
in Vermont. The census taken in April
OF 1913 shows that there were 359.4S4 head
OF cattle in the State at that time, and
the number is not thought to have changed
any extent This would make a trifle
more than IA per cent of the total cattle
in the State tested for tuberculosis dur
ing the last year. OF tho number tested.
4,317 were found to be infected.
A summary OF the money expended by
the bureau of animal industries. by the
state of Vermont and by the federal gov
eminent shows n total of s265,269, for the
year ending June 90 This IL more than
double tho amount which was spent in the
year previous. when 1t was sllS725. Yer

inarics and clerk hire.
/ On July !, the department had 1874
herds under State and federal supervision.
, This means that the owner had agreed
to continue testing for tuberculosis every
year, also, that the herds would be kept
under restrictions, to prevent the spread
of tuberculosis to them. OF these 1874

one-year test without reactions and it is
fair to presume that the indemnity will
be decreased on these herds by as large
a margin as no per cent.

GROWING SQUARE TREES
This and other Efforts at Nature
Fal<fnE Successful In England
(From Answers. London.)

Recently the Cambridge Forestry AS
sociation suggested that trees can he
made to grow square instead of round,
and thus may be made to produce more
and better timber.
The assertion has given rise to some
amount of good -natured chaff but some
miracles more wonderful than the grow
ing of square trees have been performed
in the plant world. The scientist waved
his wand, as it were. and produced the
seedless orange, a large juicy. delicious
fruit free from what we call pips
Again ne took a piece of wood, the
stock of an ordinary wild briar and
on it he produced a score of varieties Of
roses, making a multi-colored bush with
roses large and small, red, white, Grim
son. salmon. yellow, pink, cream and
every shade between, all on the same
bush.
Something akin to growing square
trees has been practiced for centuries,
and what may be termed plant mon
strosites are by no means uncommon.
Most of US would recognize the White
Bryony (Bryonia doica) so common in
our hedgerows. The roots of this plant
which often grow to a colossal size, have
been grown to shape, as it were.
| Perhaps one OF the most extraordi-
| nary experiments in the plant world
| has just been successfully tried with the
potato plant The potato belongs TO
the same family as the tomato, and in
cluded in the same family are the
| tobacco plant, the mandrake and the
deadly nightshade among others.
Advantage was taken of the relation
ship of the potato to the tomato actual,
to grow crop of potatoes on the roots
of a potato plant and a crop of toma
toes on the fiaums stalks and foliage
of the Same plants. To see crop o
tomatoes among the foliage of n po
tato plant, while potatoes are growin'
on the roots of the same plant. is sigh
more wonderful surely than square trees
