JENNY LIMBS CENTENARY

iFTOI1 lllt we" YIN
The one hundredth anniversary of
Jenny Lind's birth will be comment
GRATED October in England, Sweden
and other countries where she sang
in opera or In concert The United
States will not be behindhand in pay
ing this tribute. Announcement OF
plans for celebration along original
lines by music lovers of this city must
bring a thrill to those New Workers
whose, memories run hack to that
night of Sept. II, 1850, when the
Swedish nightingale" appeared in
Castle Garden, now the Aquarium
arousing furore of enthusiasm per-
haps never surpassed since then. To
her voice. "a soprano Of bright, bril-
liant, thrilling and sympathetic quail.
ity." was added a personality so en-
gaging as instantly to capture her
audience--a ma gnetsm at once inspir-
ing and compelling.
It is fitting that New York properly
should celebrate not only the centen
airy of Jenny Lind's birth, but also her
first public appearance here. 1t is UNI
derstood that her admirers are plan
ming to reproduce the concert as far
as possible. Freda Hempel appearing
in the role of her famous predecessor
wearing an exact copy of the gown
Jenny Lind wore. singing the same
songs and playing her own acompani-
ments to some Of them on the same
piano. It Is pleasant to know. further
more that proceeds from this enter
tainment will be given to the same
charity to which Jenny Lind devoted
tht money she received from the orig.
inal concert.

FALL ARMY WORM INVADING
NORTH

The Bureau of Entomology Of the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture re-
ports that an invasion Of the fall army
worm Is working northward from South
Carolina and has been found In Eastern
Virginia. 1t Is quite probable say the ex-
perts, that the pest will continue It's prog
ress northward throughout the fall The
last severe outbreak Of the worm was In
1912, when the damage done to cotton
crops was enormous. The orm does mo-.
confne its attacks to cotton. It Is vora-
cious feeder, and will destroy corn,
grasses, sorghum rice, oats, millet and
will sometimes attack cultivated crops
such as the sweet potato, turnip, spinach.
tobacco, tomato. cucumber and grape.
During the 1912 infestation many people
reported great damage to lawn grasses by
reason OF the worms Unsuitable appetite.
When the worms are observed to be
feeding on the grasses they should be
sprayed Immediately with solution Of
powdered arsenate of lead. one pound or
arsenate Of zinc. one pound TO so gallons
of water IN order to kill them before they
crops which they will do as soon as they
have destroyed the preferred grasses.
The department of agriculture does not
anticipate that the present invasion will
reacn the disastrous proportions of the
1912 invasion. but 1t does advise that the
strired caterpillar be watched and
check measures taken wherever it APP
pears. A delay of "a hours in anplying
control may result in the destruction of
a valuable crop. or 1t may ruin lawn.

AT LAKE VIEW

(Reprinted by request.)
Twilight deepens, and I dream tonight
OF purple hills and sunsets glow.
Leaving its trail OF crimson light
Across the glmmering flow Of Cham
plains deep,
Whose waters meet that quiet shore
Where our beloved sleep.
Where under whispering pinos they
rest,
Afar mid scenes of Ion elineas,
Yet close to natures throbbing breast
The singing winds the sad caress OF
tapping waves.
The falling leaves that lightly stir
Above their graves.
Eden or flowers and summer song,
Garden of buried hopes and hearts,
Within whose gates a silent throng
Is ever passing, yet ne'er departs,
They sleep. forever sleep. and days are
long and skies are dark
For those who weep.

A UNITED AND PROGRESSIVE PARTY

Teamwork counts in politics and gov
eminent as in sporting contests and In
community development. A party divided

than a city split into conflicting cliques
and clans can enjoy real expansion and
the largest possible degree of prosperity.
Vermont Republicans have seldom been
In more promising condition at the be-
are to-day This is we'll set forth by Idi-
tor Babbitt Of the Rutland News as fol-
lows:
at the Republican luncheon at The
Bardwell YESTERDAY II was left to James
Hartness to outline ;he era of good feel
ing which has dawned among Vermont
senior senator from Vermont, William
P. Dillingham;. to outline the reasons why
one man autocracy and ineffciency,
should not be continued at Washington.
mfr. Hartness pointed out that the re-
cent gubernatorial campaign had left
neither bitterness nor breaks in the ranks
Of the party, but that the three defeate
candidates had FASTENED to express their
good feeling and to assure him that they
we're loyal Verrnonters and good Repub-
licans. And there is every reason to be-
lleve this is true. The other candidates
recognize that Mr.. Hartness fought fairly
and won his victory honestly. He used

measure than any other candidate.
Under the circumstances of the campaign,
could have done.
Senator Dillingham; told his auditors
that he had known Senator Harding for
a long time and that in his opinion. the
Ohio senator is prc-en1incntly qualified
for the position in the White House. He Is
calm thoughtful. clear, painstakins. and
exceedingly fair, the senator told tho as
sembled town committeeman and among
Vermonters in general. the political opin-
ions of Senator Dillingham; will carry
more weight perhaps than those of any
other living Vermonter.
'Mr. Dillingham; gave his auditors un.
answerable facts and figures regarding
the inefficiency and costliness Of the pres

cabinet and of the undesirability Of on,

THE sum and substance Of the meeting
was that the Republican campaign is or
in Rutland county with unusual enthu
siasm and with some striking argument.
