mcnt Is made by the board of trustees
that the Green Mountain Home. the ag-
ricultural and horticultural school
founded by Edward Fl Everett of Old
Pennington. will open for the admission

The original purpose of the founder
was to establish a home school for the
sons of men who had served in the
army and navy of the United States
and in the armies and navies of the
governments allied against the central
powers in the World war, but it soon
became evident, because of the youth
of the men who served in the American
army and navy, that it would at pres
cnt be impossible to maintain such re-
striction and the bylaws of the corpo-
ration were changed so az to permit
the admission of other boys, in the dis
cretion of the trustees.
Applicants for admission to the
school must be at least 13 years old and
must be morally and physically fit to
acquire the utmost advantages of the
three-year course in agriculture and
| horticulture. The home is a free in.

includes accounting, American history
and eivics, English composition ant
F, rhetoric. botany and entomology anC

chemistry will be limited to the use
of that science in agriculture.

, members of the latter organization hay
ing preference in admission privilege
over boys whose fathers have no mil
tary record.

PROMISING OUTLOOK
FOR COUNTRY CLUB
Plans for Widening Scope of Activi-
ties Adopted at Annual Meeting
Golf Course Winters Well.

Plans for placing the Brattleboro
Country club on a sound financial basis
and widening the scope of its activities
were adopted at the annual meeting of
the organization last evening. A COM
mittee composed of H. c. Rice, l.. L..
Dunham. T. T. Britain and l.. G. Tasker
was appointed to raise a guaranty fund,
for which pledges covering a fve-vear
period will be solicited. This method
has been adopted in lieu of raising the
club dues and gives every promise of
proving extremely successful. Although
the committee has hardly begun its
work a number of large subscriptions
have been made, and there is little
doubt that the total will be sufficient
to liquidate the club debt and provide
a comfortable margin for annual main
tenance
The following officers were elected at
the annual meeting: Governors. j. G.
Estey. G. L. Dunham, c. A. Boyden, J,
r. Ryder, H. C. Rice, DIR. G. r. Ander-
G. Tasker; secretary. H. Z. Whitney
Other officers and committees will be
chosen by the governors at a later meet
ing.
1t was voted to allow members sons
and daughters between u and Is years
of age to use the golf course and ten,
mis- courts iect to such restrictions
as the governors see fit to make
The sentiment of last evenings meet
| ing was that the club faces 4 season oi
| unusual activity More than the usua
number of new members have beer
taken in already this spring, and an eff
| fort TO secure still others will be made
| The golf course came through the winte
in excellent condition and promises t,

FERRY BOAT AT
MILESTONE BROOK
Construction Work to Be Started in
Few Days by Fred T. Ley Co.-Guil-
ford Man to Furnish Piling - Gov
ernment Would Not Loan Pontoon.

Preliminary arrangements for the
construction Of a temporary pile bridge
across the Connecticut river between
this village and the island are well
under way, and the actual construe-
tion work will be begun in a few ,lavs
under the direction of Robert Coombs
of North street for the Fred T. Ley Co.
OF Springfield, Mass. Mr.. Coombs for
merly for long time was eonstruc-
tien foreman for the Fred T. Lev Co.
A hosting engine already has ar
rived in BrattleborO, and lumber for
the bridge is expected every day. 1t
was shipped several days ago from
Norwich, Conn. bat ii has been delayed
by railroad accident.
win Squires of Guilford has agreed
to furnish the piles and has begun cut
ting them. The job will require near
| ly 100, and they will range from 40 10
90 feet in length.
Mr.. Coombs has had W. B. Allen 3
ferry boat brought down from the West
| chesterfield ferry and anchored at the
mouth of Milestone brook, and this
will be used for making soundings in
| the river as soon as Mr.. Coombs
stretches cable across the river, which
will be done shortly.
1t is not expected that the new
/ bridge will be put on before next win
ter, as there is an advantage in having
the work done when the river is frozen
over, but it will be completed and the
piles withdrawn before the ice breaks
up next spring.
The towns of Hinsdale and Brattle.
boro are fortunate in having decided
to go ahead with preparations for a
temporary pile bridge without waiting
for a report from the war department
as to the availability of pontoon
bridge. 1t now develops that pom
toon bridge cannot be secured from the
government.
