THREATENS PROSECUTION
For Violation of Regulation Regarding
Berlin Pond Prohibitions.

Editor of the Barre Times: The de-
partment of public health has called my
attention to the fact that the regula-
ton adopted by the state board of
health prohibiting boating, fishing and
bathing in Berlin pond, its tributaries
and the reservoir is being violated to a
considerable extent. believe in most
cases this is done thoughtlessly and
without due consideration of the pur-
pose and Importance of the regulation
rather than from any wilful purpose
to violate the law. l believe that
word of warning will be sufficient.
This is a regulation adopted by the
board chosen to examine into condi-
.tions affecting the public health and
to take proper measures for the safe
guarding of the public health. This
regulation is one of those measures. 1t
implies that the state board of health,
whose duty it is to know about those
things, deem it safer for the health Of
the people of Montpelier, who use the
water from Berlin pond for drinking
and all domestic purposes, not TO have
boating, fishing and bathing in these
waters. If safer for Montpelier people,
then safer for everybody, for if an
epidemic of disease and death starts
in Montpelier it does not stop at the
limits Of Montpelier. In fact there is
no knowing when or where it will stop
nor whether it will ever stop.
Suppose it were a fact that only one
person in a thousand fishing in Berlin
pond would so pollute the waters as to
cause disease among our people, what
means have You OF | Of knowing that
we are not that one?
would be glad of the privilege of
fishing in Berlin pond from time to
time, but | do not want to be the
cause of starting an epidemic OF dis
ease in this community, nor do ! be-
lieve that anyone else wants to be the
cause of such an epidemic. We do not
want TO take chances upon a matter
cf such Importance as the public health.
This is world wherein we frequently
have to forego individual privileges for
the common good of all. In this mat
ter the safety of the public health far
outweighs the pleasure of individuals.
II is the mark of good citizenship to
be willing TO sacrifice such individual
privileges for the common good, espe-
cially when so important a matter as
the public health is involved. II is no
mark Of good citizenship to insist upon
individual pleasure a; the hazard Of
the public health. Besides, here is an
opportunity for US 20 show that We
are a law respecting, law abiding peo-
pie and this Is time when il is Of
utmost importance to demonstrate that
We are such a people.
IL is not prosecutions and convic-
tions that the state desires. On the
contrary the desire Is TO have this reg
ulation respected. observed and obeyed.
II il believed that when the people
come 10 consider the matter this reg
ulation viii be willingly obeyed.
II. however. there are those who per-
sist in its violation, il will clearly be
come my duty 70 prosecute, and in
cases where evidence Is obtained upon
which 20 base q prosecution / shall
prosecute without hesitation.

SUNFLowERs FOR SILAGE.
Vermont Farmers are Thinking of Try
ing Them Out.

Vermont farmers who are thinking
of trying out a few sunfowers for sill
age this next year will be interested
in the results secured by Messrs. w.
B. and G. f. Robbins of Derby, says
John A. Hitchcock, extension special
ist in dairying OF the University OF
yermonts and state agricultural extern
sion service. Last year they planted
three fields; one Of corn alone; one
to corn and sunhowers mixed, and one
to sunhowers alone,
All the fields were fortified alike,
AT harvest time measured plots from
the corn and from the suntower fields
were weighed and they found that they
cut 1872 tons per acre from the corn
and 221s tons per acre from the sun
flowers. The silage was put into the
silo separately from each field and was
fed out through the month OF Janu-
airy.
During the feeding period the same
amount of grain and hay was fed with
each kind of silage. While the cows
were getting the corn alone during the
first ten days of the month the herd
averaged 4ls,7 pounds OF milk daily
While the mixed sunhower and corn
was being fed the average production
was 1915 and on sunflower silage
alone the cows averaged 454.2 pounds
but when the feed was changed back
again to clear corn silage a. decided
falling,oif occurred.
While one test like this is not con
elusive it at eleast indicates that sun
flower silage is worth trying, especial
" in the parts of the state where the
season is too short to mature corn
properly.

MANAGERS ARE
HITTING BALL
Cobb Boosts His Average
to All During the
Week
SPEAKER ALSO
WENT UP TO 4OS
Babe Ruth Has Run Into
a Batting
Slump

Chicago, May 2s.-Managing ball
club seems to be conducive to heavy
hitting for Ty Cobb, pilot OF the De-
troit Tigers, and iris Speaker, man
aeer of the Cleveland Indians, are Civ
ing Harry Holman of Detroit ter
rife fight for the batting leadership OF
the American league.
Cobb boosted his mark from 1896 last
week to All for this week, according
to averages released to-day which in
clude games of last Wednesday Speak
err raised his last weeks average of
.S7s to .40s. Heilman, although he suf'
fered batting slump, is IA points
ahead of Cobb, with .425 as compared
with .454 a week ago.
SEVERED Of ST. Louis also has come
to the front in grand style. The slug
ging catcher Of the Browns has at
tanned mark of 1881 and is in fourth
place.
Babe Ruth ran into slump when
the Yankees hit the western trail Of
the circuit. His batting average dropped
from .37S to .345 He failed to get any
four baggers while in Chicago but IN
the final game at st. Louis on Wednes-
day he brought his total string Of hom-
ers to 10. Shecker was pitching to him.
Harris Sof Washington stole two
bases while the Senators were touring
the west and Is showing the way TO
the base stealers with ten markers.
Other leading batters for 20 or more
games are: Brewer Washington, 37S;
Sisler, st. Louis. .375; Tobin, st. Lou
ia, 1875; Stephenson, Cleveland, 1858;
Williams, St. Louis, 1853; Ruth, New
York, .345.
Crimes of the Chicago Cubs, who is
filing Merkle's slices at first base,
struck his batting stride during the
first invasion of the east and climbed
from 18th place to fifth in the National
race. Most of last weeks leaders went
into slump, Roger Hornsby, the So.
Louis star, dropping from .457 to ABS.
but is safely entrenched at the top of
the batters of the league who have

Henry of St. Louis, who was in seventh
place a week ago, is batting 800 and

burgh, who threatened to dethrone the
ST. Louis star a week ago, dropped to
fourth place with .359, Grimes, who
last week hit 1926, is pushing the "Rsb.

STATE ACCIDENT
FUND IS winner
Wyoming Insurance Plan Self.
Supporting; viii Turn Back
Money Given by State.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 21.-"Ex-
perience has clearly demonstrated that
the industrial accident fund can take
care Of itself, that it is absolutely SELF
supporting" declares the fifth annual
report Of the Wyoming Workmen's
Compensation department, prepared
under the direction of State Treasurer
A. D. Hoskins.
Beginning six years ago with an
appropriation of 100000 from the
state as a nucleus, the state fund es-
tablished to provide accident insur-
ance at actual cost is now in a posi-
ton to 60 ION it's own,' according to
the report. The department recon-
mends that the original $4,000, to-
gether with all other sums since ad-
vanced by the state, amounting to
$228,817, be returned to the states
general fund.
The favorable showing Of the Wy
oming state fund and the compensa-
ton departments recommendation
follows similar action in Pennsylvania
where the state accident insurance
fund recently paid back to the COM
monwealth in full it's original invest
ment Of 100000.
By prohibiting stock insurance COM
panies operating for profit from COM
peting with state funds, as demanded
by the American Federation of Labor,
and already successfully undertaken
in seven. notably Ohio, exclusive state
funds, it is pointed out, make an even
better showing than competitive state
funds and result in savings of mill
lions Of dollars each year to industry
while at the same time permitting
increasingly liberal benefits to injured
workers and their dependents.
