"Since young girl, have suffered

anything to do me any good.
Six months ago, someone told me
about sFruit-a-tives' and I got box

John Burroughs, who reaches the age
of four score-and three today, has for
more than generation been rated by
many critics as the finest Interpreter of
nature that the United States ever has
had Less of a recluse and individualist
than Thoreau, he has moved about among
men more than thea Concord hermit did
and yet he has been essentially nature
lover and interpreter, with only occasional
forays into the realm of literary criticism
Mr.. Burroughs grew up in a rural com
munity in New York state, taught schoo
for eight years, found his way as a young
man to Washington, and was a depart
ment clerk during the years, following tn,
close of the civil war. In 1884, after

COIN A TISHIN',

Papers a little to the south of Yer
mont are beginning to write about 60
ing after the wary trout, discussing
the best flies, size Of trout and the
number to be caught in such an at
tractive way as to start the desire in
the minds of those located farther
north where the streams are so cold
land swollen that fishing is impossible.
In New York the season opened on the
first day of April and it is possible
that in the southern sections of the
state catches were possible at that
time.
The season in Vermont does not open
until a week from next Thursday Civ
ing plenty of time to prepare for ex-
peiiments with the early worm. Per.
haps the days intervening are the best

most pleasurable features of a fishing

There is one thing it would be wei
for every person planning to fish tn

That is not to rob the streams or vic

there is reasonably good fishing in thi

A news item in the Manchester
Union says: 'sWhy does a farmer
buy nut butter for self and family,
and sell his butter? Why encourage
an industry that win eventually put
him out of business9" The very fact
that the farmer sells his butter and
buys a substitute shows that there is
no danger Of his being put out of
business that way. The demand for
good dairy butter increases continually
and that fact with its high price has
led to many substitutes being put on
the market. If the time comes when
there is butter enough for everybody
at medium price it is the substitute
that viii be put out of business.

There is a shortage of good,

movement. The Argentine
wheat price was advanced

Australia has also advanced
the price Of wheat, and the
early part Of the week large
amounts Of our winter wheat
were reported sold for ex-
port. With Corn, Oats and
Barley showing unusual
strength, some of our low

he had to say for the conference itself,
adding that the German delegation
might be counted on to do everything
possible to make the conference q sue
cess.
DR.. SchuelIer, head of the Austrian
delegation, expressed the hope that
some general effective means might be
found by the conference, but said he
regretted that the United States was
represented only unofficially, creating
situation which reminded him Of
conference between debtors and credi-
tors, with the principal creditor absent.
he intends to tell the conference
that the only remedy for Austria. with
a deficit of 12,O00.0O0,000 crowns and
a total budget Of 24,0oO,000 crowns, is
the possibility of manufacture and ex-
port, which means raw materials, or,
in other words, credit abroad.
American Offers Relief Plan
The American representative, Will
lam Boyden, though necessarily taking
a minor part in the conference, has
had talks with Il number of delegates,
including DR.. Schueller, and has had
occasion to suggest some practical
ways Of relieving the economic dis
tress, among others by breaking down
the barriers that are throttling trade
at the newly established frontiers of
the Central European states. He has
called attention to the fact that Hun
gary alone has tifty-seven points of
entry where trade is being held up by
veNatlouS, customs regulations. .-.
