ed $63.15 during the month of Janu-
airy by making over their own gar

two pairs of mittcns, and five boys
shirts were made from materials
which were on hand and alterations
wero made on one skirt. The saving
of $63.15 does not include the saving

ST. VINCENT
CONCERT is
GREAT SUCCESS
Delightful Entertainment Is
Given In Colonial Theatre
Before Large Audience

A large audience at the Colonia
| Theater enjoyed one of the most de-
lightful entertainments of the veal
last night when the annual concert
under the auspices of the Saint Vim
cent dc Paul society was given fol
the benefit of the poor of the parish
The program was carried out as pre-.
viously given in the columns of thi.
paper.
The first part as given by an or
chestra under the direction of Raou
Provencal, who during the Great
War conductor of the Pioneer band
was great treat. Miss ID. Drouil
with her beautiful voice gave a sc.
lection that was filed with charm
Mrs. N. Mclean, who has soprano
voice of wonderful power and a most
magnetic personality, although han
dicapped by cold, sang with fine eff
feet "Alice, Where Art Thou" She
was accompanied on the piano by
Mrs. Maggie and on the violin by Ar
thur Hawkinson.
The selection by St. Gabriel's band
was of the usual excellence of this
aggregation of youthful players.
The, second part of the entertain
ment was a musical comedy in two
acts. DR.. J. ID. Bachand, who was the
director, deserved unmeasured credit
for the entire success of this part of
the program. The groupings, color
ings and singing by the chorus and
principals showed remarkable train
ing and effective work of the director.
w. P. Landry was excellent as the
accompanist.
1t would be hard to select one num-
Der that was better than another as
they were all of such unusual excel
lencc. DR.. Bachand, Miss M. Dutil
and chorus were delightful in Glove
Land" Miss Dutil scored distinct
individual hit in her singing of "Ca-
rolina Sunshine" accompanied by the
chorus. The ribbon dance "Sand
Dunes" led by Miss A. Landry and
attended by a chorus was a pretty
spectacle. G. Provost and cohrus did
excellent work with "I'll be your once
in while" Miss Dorine Drouin sang
successfully very difficult selection,
Summer, C. Cheminade." The but
terfy dance by FIVE unusually attrac-
tive young ladies was very pretty
spectacle. The dance was led by
Miss A. Lamontagne and those who
assisted We're Miss, d. Bernier, Miss
H. Piche, Miss J. Dutil and Miss
A. Landry.
DR.. Bachand sang in fine voice
"Ashes of Roses" and the chorus
made a fascinating picture. The
finale "You're in Love" was charm
ing picture.
The entire program reflects great
credit upon those who took part and
those who trained the workers. 1t
was announced today that over $3.50
was cleared by the concert.

Office Bill Held Up

In response to letter from the
Secretary of the Commercial Club re-
lative to the progress Of the bill to
increase the appropriation for the
new post office building at st. Johns
bury Senator Dillingham; replies as
follows:
81 regret to say that the Senate
committee on public buildings and
grounds, to which the bill was refer
red, has decided not to report any
bills Of this nature whatever at the
present session of Congress. The
House committee has made a similar
announcement, and for that reason
the St. Johsbury appropriation, to-
gcther with all the others, must lie
dormant for the time being.
81 have been in communication
several times with Senator Fclnald,
chairman of the committee, emphas-
izing the need of action to make pos
sible this long deferred project. He
is sympathetic in the matter and l
feel sure will give this bill as early
attention as any before him, and
there are u great many, but under
present circumstances he feels COM
pcllcd to withhold action on any of
the public building measures. You
may be sure that shall not overlook
st. Johnsbury's interest in this mat
ter, and at the proper time snail
again urge the matter before the
committee"

The crow is best known by the un-

through its attacks on other crops be-
sides corn. 1t, however, carries on a
warfare against certain insect enemies
or the farmer. Indiscriminate killing
H. not warranted, and even in areas
where The crow Is doing harm prevent
i've measures will often put a stop to
the nuisance and allow the bird to con-
tinue what good work it may be do
ing on Insects. Among the preventive
measures suggested by the United
States Department Of Agriculture are:
]. The use Of coal tar and other de-
torrents on seed grain.
.. Scattering grain over fields where
the crop is just sprouting.
Q. Stretching twine about and across
fields from poles stationed at intervals.
A network Of such strands Is often ef-
fective in protecting poultry yards.
4. The use Of frightening devices
and the hanging up of the dead bodies
of crows in conspicuous places.
In places where more drastic meas
ures are necessary the killing Of even
. few crows will intimidate others and
these will usually shun the area for
some time. ~Such procedures include
1. The use Of poison (strychnine) In
places where this is permitted by law.
Corn and hens eggs are the most ef-
fective bats.
2. Trapping by means Of steel traps,
carefully concealed and baited with
hens eggs.
8. Destroying nests-a measure that
will most frequently put stop 70 the
poultry-raiding activities Of pair Of
crows which have their nest nearby.
4. Shooting-the hunter being aided
by the use Of a crow call, and, where
possible. also by mounted owl placed

CLEAN PENS ARE
URGED FOR PICS
Roundworm Held Responsible for
Many Deaths and Large Pro-
portion OF Runts.
BADLY DRAINED LOTS CAUSE
Young Animals Farrowed and Kept In
Places Infested With Eggs Of Para.
sites Are Almost Certain to
Pick Up Some Of Them.

Investigations reported In a recent
technical publication of the bureau Of
animal industry. United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, disclosed addl-
tional evidence of the importance OF
keeping young pigs In clean pens that
have not been contaminated by other
swine.
A roundworm of pigs, known rs As
caris SUM, Is held responsible not
only for many deaths among swine but
for a large proportion Of the runts
among these animals. Development
and perpetIation Of the rOundworms
Is fostered by badly drained and ma
nure-cov red hog lots, which are on
this account dangerous to young pigs
and not good for pigs Of any age.
Soil May Become infested.
Eggs Of the parasite may remain
alive In soil for five years and even
longer. Places occupied by pigs har-
boring the adult worms in their lntes-
tines will become badly infested with
the eggs. Pigs farrowed and kept In
such places are certain to pick up
many of these eggs, and even sucking
pigs are liable to swallow eggs pres
ent In dirt adherlng to the teats Of
the sOws.
Investigations by the bureau have
proved that after the eggs have been
swallowed and have hatched in the in
testine the young worms do not imme-
diately settle down hut penetrate the
wall Of the intestine and travel to the
liver and lungs. From the lungs they
crawl up the windpipe and then down
the esophagus and return to the intes-
tine. Only after they have passed
through the lungs 10 they establish
themselves in the intestine and grow
to maturity.
May Cause Pneumonia.
In passing through the lungs the
young worms cause more or less dam
age to these organs. Pneumonia may
