TO PROVE ROADS IN DISREPAIR
FLYING IN AIR
SAFE AS RIDE
BEHIND HORSE
That's What Cleveland
Says of Straight Com
mon Sense Flying

Lieut.. Walter Cleve. and return
ed Wednesday to his home in Gov
entry after a week at Dewey Field
near Bennington where he gave
some fine exhibitions of flying. A
writer in the Bennington Banner
tells of the stunts performed by
the wizard of the air:
Lieut.. Cleveland of Coventry,
with two young men from North
Adams, who hasitated not at the
risk or additional price attached to
the adventure, gave local people a
fine opportunity to witness various
spectacular feats performed with
an aeroplane. The repertoire in
cluded such stunts a sthe barrel
roll, the nose-d;ve, the wing lover
and severa other specific dives
and rolls.
Lieut., Cleveland does not like to
perform these trick stunts for eth
er his own benfit OF the machine.
He says, straight, common sense
flying Is as safe as buggy riding;
IN fact more so, for there are no
automobiles to get in the way"
That he considerers plain aeroplan-
I ing as safe means of travel may
be readily seen by the fact that he
takes his mother and sister with
him on nearly all of his trips away
from home.
According to Lieut.. Cleveland,
once at a good distance in the air
it is almost impossible for any
thing serious to happen to either
the machine or its occupants. If
the engine stops the pinot simply
looks for a field where he may land
The higher he is the better oppor-
tunity he has to select a suitable
place. 1t is possible to attain alti-
tude enough before the engine
goes dead" to coast for 20 or 80
miles.

Wartime raLioning Of fuel. coal
dealt out by local fuel admins
traitor is what is coming in the
opinion of those close to the fuel
situation in Vermont. This state
fell in line with others in the
country Wednesday preparatory
to securing its share of coal under
the federal plan. At conference
in Montpelier with Governor
James Hartness, H J. NJ. Jones
Of Montpelier, state fuel admin
istrator, wholesale coal dealers
and members of the fuel commits
sions, action was taken regarding
the shortage. Governor Hartness
will at once appoint a committee
Of five to look after Vermont's in
terests and to take up with the
federal authorities in Washington
the question Of securing coal.
At the request of MI. Jones,
Gilbert f. Woods attended the
conference in Montpelier and pre-
sented the situation in st. Johns
h,Iy. | ocal fuel administrators
will probably be named and coal
will be rationed out as in war
days. The situation is as serious
as in the days of the war, in
the belief of those familiar with
the condition ut the present time.

SARANACLAKE
TO ORETURN FOR
TWO MORE TILTS
Fairbanks A. A. Will Go to
SherbrOOke Sunday
For Game

st. Johnsbury fans will go wild
with delight when they receive the
announcement that the star aggre-
ton of ball tossers from Saranac
is to appear here again next week.
The dates which every fan should
reserve are Wednesday and
Thursday, August 16 and II. The
games will be played, beginning at
$50 so that there will be ample
time to witness the tits and then
journey home in time to eat.
The next game at home will be
with the Montreal Indians as stat
ed in these columns yesterday. 1t
will be Cuddy Murphy's turn to be
the boXman and the former Dart
mouth star will have to use all his
stuff if he wishes to take the meas
ure of the visitors. The Montreal
Indians are the best team in the
city league there and are anxious
to defeat the leading mines in Yer
mont.
On Sunday the first of the ser
.es of nine games, scheduled with
Sherbrooke, will be PLAYED in that
Canadian city. The following week
return game will probably be
played here on the Campus, al
though the date has not been de-
finitely fixed, Manager Charles
Hoernle said today. Sherbrooke is
proving one of st. Johnsbury's
most dangerous rivals, and it is ex-
pected that a large number of To-
cal fans will make the trip to
Sherbrooke to cheer the Scaletown

BURLINGTON
BLANKED 20
BY FAIRBANKS
Buffers Homer Aids Witty
In Pitching Duel
With Collins

With a supporting cast that
bobbled but once-and that excus-
ably-Clarence Witty, product of
Passumpsic and Scaletown dia-
monds, stabbed his way so effici-
emily through nine speedy chap
ters of baseball yesterday that
Edward ]. "Slats" McGinnis of
Burlington stars had to be con-
tent with the saw-offed end Of the
2 to 0 score.
No better contest has been play
ed on the Campus this season and
the usually large, jovial and fair
minded assembly of fans, went
their several ways, following the
conclusion of the pastime, with a
bright and happy feeling. The
game was licked off in about an
hour and half. Both pitchers
worked fast and the rule seemed
to be that three batters and no
more should appear at the plate
per stanza. In the second chap
ter, the fourth, the sixth and the
eighth, but a trio of Queen City
stars, with shouldered bat, ap-
preached the platter. On the
other hand, there were but 25 of
fetal times at bat recorded against
Ray Collins, grand old master of
We art of heaving ye old apple.
Ray started out like a whirl-
wind in the overture, Glieve and
Bracket being snuffed out in sue
cession while Maloney couldn't
help himself when the former Red
SoX southpaw slipped over third
strike.
1t was in Fairbanks second that
/ Ted Butler, the Scaletown clean
up man, sensed a pitch to his lik-
ing and drove it for a collosal swat
away over the left field fence. The
| sphere was propelled beyond re-
demption and Ted merely touched
all the bases before finally regis
tering under Umps Albert Sault's 5
eagle eye at the home saucer.
Fairbanks first tally was thus
chalked up.
In the third stanza the locals
gained ingress into home bases
sanctum sanctorum as a result of
Vitty's safe poke to left field.
Tommy Grieve, acting under sail
ing orders from the bench, at
tempted to push Clarence along
to second via the customary sacri-
fetal bunt. 1t worked O. X. Not
only did the slender Scaletown
shortstop beat out the tap along
the first base line, but he even
progressed as far as the pivotal
sack, himself, while Witty finally
pulled up at third. This addition
al baseage was due to lack of glue
in the glove of Fat" Bell, the in
vading second baseman.
Then, all in the same stanza,

NATIONAL
TRUNK ROADS
ARE PLANNED
Development of Automo-
bile Traffic Starts
Movement

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 1O-A
system of national trunk highways
throughout the United States,
which will include three of the
largest cities of each state, is
planned by the Associated High
ways of America.
Discussion of these plans will be
one or the important issues before
the 4th annual convention of the
organization, 20 be held here Aug
ust 25 and rs, according to H. O..
Cooley, of Minneapolis, member
of the executive board, making ar
rangements for the convention.
Development of automobile
travel has been so rapid that the
highways organization believes
trunk highway program for the
whole country is feasible, much
on the order Of the many state en-
terprises of the past few years, in
ettecting state trunk road pro-
grams, Mr.. Cooley said.
Prepared maps, outlining and
explaining the plan, have been
sent to all the delegates invited to
the annual meeting and lively
discussion is anticipated, Mr.. Coo
ley said.
Members Of the Associated
Highways will be urged to prevail
upon Congress, to secure its adop-
ton of the proposed nationwide
road system.
A national program for the
protection Of travellers who are
subjected to many inconvenience
because of over Jealous small town
authoritis who arrest automobilists
for petty offenses, also will share
good portion of the two-day con-
vention, Mr.. Colley said.
Standardization of free camp
sites on a nation wide scale also
will receive the attention of the
delegats, as will the matter Of pro-
viding information to the public
for long distance automobile travel
tours.
In addition to the organizations
delegates, representatives from
states, cities, towns, commercial
clubs, civic organizations and
automobile clubs will attend the
sessions, Mr.. Cooley said. Each
governor has been asked to send
two delegates, while cities, towns,
chambers Of commerce commercial
clubs, civic organizations and auto
organizations have been requested
to have one representative

FRESH FRUITS

LOCAL MARKETS
Boston Wholesale Prices
Show Sympathy With
Strike Conditions

There is an abundance of good
things in the line of fresh fruits
and vegetables in the St. Johns
bury markets this week, if the pur-
chaser has a long purse. Just what
conspires to keep the price of blue
berries, for instance, at 80 cents a
basket when every berry patch in
the conutIy is blue with fruit is a
conundrum 1t cannot be for want
of help, either for every berry field
is alive with pickers, who always
come home with an unusually fine
supply, if they are able to dodge
the bulls that are nearly always in
evidence in every pasture on both
sides of the pasture fence.
Green apples are fast acquiring
the millionaire tendencies of their
California orange cousins, for the
only representatives of "Des pom
mes" family that have appeared on
the local social register thus far
this season are listed at five cents
each or two pounds for a quarter.
The latest arrival in the melon
in market the past week, 1t is a
green pumpkin with ac ollege edu-
cation and most delicious tastes.
They are comparatively reasonable
in price, selling form so cents to

Pears and peaches are large and

plums are good and plenty.
New potatoes are 35 cents a

WRITES LOG OF
YELLOWSTONE
PARK HIKERS
Supt. Dinsmore's Party Is
Greeted by "LiZzy"
and Her Cubs

The last installment of this yarn
was written from Yellowstone
Canyon, Sunday On Monday
morning we sent our pack train
back to Lower Creek to be used
by the Ranger force in distribut-
ing fish to streams in the Lamar
valley, and arranged for a truck
to take our camp equipment
through to the Lake Outlet, where
the bureau of fisheries operate a
large hatchery.
In the early forenoon the boys
visited various points of interest
around the canyon. At II o'clock
we resumed our journey south, fol-
lowing the pony trail on the east
side of the Yellowstone river, a
continuation of the trail travelled
to the canyon.
In my last letter, | said we had
been following the route of the
Washburn Done party. This route
also follows an ancient Indian
trail-the Bannack trail, so call
ed,-Which from time immemorial
had been the path of the Red man
in crossing from the country west
and north of the Park to the
country to the south and east
Carefully avoiding the hot
springs and geysers, which were
cheap, heap bad", they came in
over the Gallitin mountains, down
the west branch of the Gardiner
river, up the east branch and to
the Tower Falls. Here the trail
divided, one branch going up the
valley of the Lamar and the other,
the one we followed, over the east
side of Mt. Washburn, to the can
yon, across the river and south to
the Jackson Hole country.
Our route took US south through
Hayden valley, always in sight of
the river, but usually back from it
on the low branches to avoid the
sloughs and marshes. Occasion
ally we passed little groves of
lodge pole pine. Coming past one
of these, about noon, we found
ourselves close to a bunch of elk
consisting of nine COWS and two
calves. This illustrates the rela-
lively slow increase Of the elk
Perhaps many cows do not have
calves each season. Probably, how
ever, many calves are killed by
@be ar, wolves and mountain lions.
By one o'clock, we had reached
