Time is the Essence of Farming

There are definite times fol doing things Oh a farm, whether IT D e o
preparation, seeding Or harvesting, and if the work be not done at the
proper time, the results may be a large loss in crop returns says Frank

Proper blowing at the right tme-proper discing at the right time
proper seeding at the right time, and proper harvesting at the right time
all play their parts in increasing crop yields.

A Lie Rolls On.
(New York Herald. }


The New York Herald directed atten-
ton to falsehood to which circulation
was given in the New English Review in
an article by an anonymous contributor
who under the pen name "A New York
Specialist declared that 1900 Harlem
school children were drug addicts.
The difficulty of stopping such a lie
after it has gained publication is shown
by the appearance in the Times of Bel
lows Falls. Vermont, on August II, of
the subjoined paragraph;
More than 1900 school children in
Harlem. borough of New York, popu-
lated chiefly by aliens, are addicted to
the use of drugs, according to police
statistics
The Bellows Falls newspaper does not
give credit TO any other publication or
authority for this assertion, which is as
inaccurate as genius for misstatement
could make it.
Harlem is not borough of New York !:
its population is not in any recognizable
particular more alien than the popula-
tions of other geographically comparable
districts of the city: there are not 1900,
or LOO. or IL drug addicts among the
school children of the section so desig-
mated, and there are not now. and there
never have been. police statistics to sup
port such a slander.
The New York Herald does not believe
the Times of Bellows Falls deliberately
slanders the school children of Harlem.
The Vermont newspaper is the victim of
an atroeious propaganda of deceit: but
nevertheless it has misrepresented a
clean living, decent population.

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Aug. 81
Although the Czeehoslovalxian Republic
is only three and half years old. it is
the one state in Europe which has set
its house in order and has avoided the
evils of the printing press. The CZechs
or Bohemians are a hard-working and
plucky race, full of common sense, and
they have built up an economic and in
dustrial fabric which has made the
country one of the most prosperous in
Central Europe. Its industry today is
beyond the needs of its own population
The Czech crown, which until last au-
tumn had followed the fluctuations of
the German mark, has now established
its independence in the worlds ex-
changes.
Since the creation of the republic the
bulk of trade has been with Germany
although the United States is gaining an
increasing share of it. According to of
fetal figures. All per cent of Czech i'm
ports in 1921 came from Germany, the
latter country taking 36.2 per cent of
Czech exports. Every Czech realizes
that the future of the country's trade
is in Central Europe, but he is anxious
to avoid as far as possible any economic
dependence on Germany.
Czechoslovakia's political system is
based upon the strictest democratic
principles, her policy being one of in
novation and evolution along reDubli-
can lines. Bolshevlsm has been crushed.
Drastic land reforms have been made,

CAR SHOOTS DOWN
BRIDGE STREET
-Four Young Lochinvars Come to Rescue
OF Four Amherst Girls Whose
Engine Refuses to Function.

a movement to inaugurate a "shoot
the@ ehutes" was attempted on Bridge
street early this morning, when four
young girls from Amherst enroute to
Sunset lake in an Overland touring car
shot down the incline into the mud holes
east of the railroad tracks, spattering
mud and water in all directions in a vain
attempt to start the engine of their car.
The girls, who are on a camping expedi-
ton, arrived III Brattleboro last
night and stopped at local hotel. and
this morning succeeded in getting their
car as far as the corner of Bridge and
Main streets, when the engine began to
spit and sputter and then died out alto
gether.
Four young Lochinvars who happened
to be in the vicinity offered to push the
car to the top of the incline and when
the car had accumulated considerable
speed the young lady driver released the
clutch pedal, but the engine failed to
take the gas and the car stopped lust
where the mud was deepest.
The driver looked back wistfullv at
the four young men, who unable to re-
sist the appealing glances, went to the
rescue again and fastened a tow rope TO
heavy truck, the driver of which offered
assistance
Then with a few giggles and several
wlnscme smiles. the girls went back up
the hill and We're towed to a garage
where their car was put in running order
again.

MAY PASS BONUS
BILL THIS WEEK
Senate Considering Individual Amerid-
ments -, Committee Changes Al
ready Approved.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-Committee
changes in the house soldiers bonus bill
have been approved, the senate turned
today to consideration of individual
amendments Disposition of these was
not expected to consume great deal of
time and passage of the measure this
week was regarded by some leaders as a
possibility.
The senate moved so rapidly yesterday
in its consideration of the soldiers bonus
bin that some leaders regarded passage of
the measure before the end of this week
as more than possibility. Opponents
were understood to be disposed TO let the
bin take its course at this time in the
belief that President Harding would veto
it. Should he do so, they planned TO cen
ter their fight against its passage over
his veto.
After it got to Nork on the bonus late
yesterday. after Senator McCumber had
entered into an urgent plea for it's early
passage, the senate agreed to the AZ com
mittee amendments to the house bill in
exactly 10 minutes and then laid the
measure aside temporarily. With the com
mittee changes cleaned up, Senator Bur
sum, Republican, of New Mexico called
up his substitute, proposing half cash and
half certificates of indebtedness for the
veterans. but this was rejected without a
roll-call or any discussion

ADHESIVE QUALITY
IN COURT CHAIRS
Tough on Juryman to Lose Pair OF
Breecfes Every Time He Sits on
Case. Declares Judge Stowe.

The condition of the chairs in the
municipal court room has for some time
been an important subject of discussion
among the legal fraternity and the spec
tators who have gathered daily to watch
the procedure of the court cases. Due to
the heavy coat of ghstening varnish.
which has been rendered all the more
sticky by the hot and damp weather
which has been prevalent more or less
this season, the chairs already have
shown a strong chemical affinity toward
the clothing of those persons who have
comfortably ensconced themselves
therein.
A cursory glance over the seating ap-
pointments of the court room reveals an
interesting spectacle. Many of the seats
apparently have become devoid of varnish
and have been worn black, due to the
contact with dark clothing. Other
chairs have a wall paper effect where
people with an artistic turn of mind have
used a newspaper to sit on, resulting in
the paper adhering to the seat with a
strength not unlike Samson of old The
most conspicuous case of adhesion oc-
Cured within day or two when some
one wearing a heavy, fluffy and woolly
suit of clothing sat in one of the chairs
and upon arising left myriads of small
particles of wool firmly glued to the seat
so that it looks like violent case of
smallpox.

when the subject of conversation reverted
again to the chairs Judge F. d. E.

jurSman to lose pair of breeches every
time he came to sit on a case

Our stay at Vacation House has been
pleasant in spite of unfavorable weather
for some time after our arrival, but
when the sun finally appeared all was
forgotten. and since then the time has
passed pleasantly, about in the usual
manner-some enjoying the bathing, and
excursions to Ocean Beach and other
places of interest while some have pre-
ferred to rest quietly at the house, en-
joying the good books and papers, among
which the Reformer appears to be the
prime fayorite, being seized upon as soon
as it arrives and the contents eagerly de-
youred.
This party has been large one. the
house being filed about to its capacity.
However, all have been made comfortable
and our wants supplied and if anyone
has gone hungry it must surely have
been their own fault, as the table has

ELK SLAIN FOR THEIR TEETH.
Hunters Invade Yellowstone. Lured by
Big Prices for Ornaments


Thousands of magnificent bull elk
have been killed in the Yellowstone Park
region by hunters who illegally shoot
them down at all seasons, merely for the
two teeth that may be obtained from
each and sold at high price to be worn
as ornaments. The fashion of wearing
these bits of bone as watch charms, cuff
links. stick pins and hat pins has been
steadily growing as the once vast herd of
elk dwindles and is threatened with ex-
tinction, according to the biological
Survey of the United States department
of agriculture.
A few years ago the wearing of al
grets for hat trimmings threatened the
destruction of one of our most beautiful
birds, but through aroused public senti-
ment a halt was called in time to save
the birds. Unless the market for elk
teeth is curbed before it is too late, it
will mean the determination of the elk,
the most magnificent of all deer.
Indian braves decorated themselves
with necklaces made of claws taken
from the most ferocious animal in
America, the grizzly bear. Only the
squaws wore elk teeth as decorations,
and they used only those from the ami
mails killed for food and clothing Now
the white men are following the fashion
of the squaw, but are paying a price
that tempts the lowest character to
slaughter and waste the elk for these
really worthless trinkets. A fuller un-
derstanding of the history and signii-
canoe of the custom of wearing elk
teeth should have an influence in depre-
ciating the market for them and thus
remove the incentive for this wanton
destruction of our noblest and most val
liable game animal. says a bulletin OF

Drop 20 Per Cent in Game
of Baseball for WOm-
ans Club
THINS VICTORIOUS
BY SCORE OF 15-9
Nine Reel Comedy Feature Enjoyed by
About 400 Fans Twenty Eight
Players Participate Umpire's Deci-
sions Occasionally Right

A suitable title to describe yester-
days baseball contest between the Fats
and Thins which was enacted on the
Valley fair grounds for the benefit of the
Brattleboro Woman's club would be
hard TO find, but it easily could be quail
fed as Comedy and Things Like That
Despite the early lead of the heavy
weights the Thins emerged from the
melee victorious by 15-to-9 score.
Twenty eight players participated in the
nine-reel feature ana some 400 fans en-
joyed the performance.
The Fats started we'll and stayed
ahead of the Thins for a few frames. due
mostly to the twirling of Miss Susan
GRAHAM. Then Fitch took up the pitch
ing burden in the fifth and the Thins
batted around for total of six runs.
In this round G. c. Chayer got two hits
for the Thins. one single and the other
a long tw0-bagger. 'Sukie" came to
the rescue again in the sixth and re-
lieved Fitch and succeeded in subduing
the beanpoles until Cressy relieved her
in the ninth. 1t would be we'll to add
here that sworn statement regarding
the aggregate tonnage of the heavy
weights was filed with the promoters of
the match earlier in the day and rumor
has it that it stood at 2,124A pounds
Idhe Oh ~ per cent OF LHlS ana 1t easily
can be discovered what the tonnage was
after the game.
Chayer twirled remarkable ball for
the Thins. In the early innings the
Fats hammered his delivery to all parts
of the lot, but as time went on his twirl-
ing became more classy and in the last
five frames the Fats were swinging with
out the remotest connection with
the spheroid. Altogether they felt he
was putting something over on them, but
Umpire Stickney could find nothing
illegal about the delivery

WOMAN FIRES PILE
TO BURN ASSAILANT
Negro Caught and Burned Within IL
Hours After Attempted Assault
on White Woman.

LAMBERT, Miss, Aug "a. = For an
attempted criminal assault on white
woman, John Steelman, 3J-year-old
Negro, paid the penalty for the crime
in pounds of flesh. Twelve hours after
the attempted crime the Negro was
burned at the stake by torch applied by
the hand of his intended victim. Mrs.
Bruce White, the wife of a planter.
The Negro was cornered in dense
thicket by a posse. He was armed with
an automatic revolver and attempted
to cover his pursuers, but before he could
shoot he was wounded. He was dragged
several miles back to the scene of the
crime and here, Mrs. White, although in
weakened condition, applied the torch
to the pyre yesterday.
The assault was attempted while a
three-year-old daughter of the woman
looked on. The Negro appeared at the
White home early yesterday morning and
asked for work. He was given breakfast
and left for the woods with Mr.. White
The Negro offered an excuse and returned
to the house.
He attacked Mrs. White and dragged
her into the yard. The screams of the
woman brought farmland TO the house
.and the Negro fled
