GIVE GOOD IMPRESSION
By Cleaning Up About Vermont Farms
on Week Of June 70.

Burlington, June 20.-The week OF
June 20 is Farmers Cleanup Week
These dates were set by the Vermont
Farm Bureau federation. The commit
tee in charge of this work consists Of
Mrs. j RI. Bartlett, Orleans Mrs. i. q
Hawley, Essex junction; Mrs. II. X
Brooks, Swanton.
Posters will be put in prominent
places and all possible publicity given
this movement.
il is hoped that all farmers will
make a special effort to clean up about
their farms. Visitors from other
states and town jewellers from our W
state gain their impression OF the If
ficiency of our farms largely from the
appearance of the farms.
A prominent visitor from the South
last summer remarked that northern
farmers must be more business-like and
more efficient than farmers in the
south. He said he noticed indications
Of this driving through the country and
see the nice homesteads. and well
kept door yards and well titled fields.
vermonters take pride in believing
that his statement was correct, but be
lieve there is still room for improve
ment.

BLOOD CAUSED
LOSS OF STRENGTH

my blood was poor and thin and !
lost strength every day." says Mrs
Margaret H. Campbell Of No. s5 East
Main street. Middletown, N. Y. "
was hard to do my homework and
every night | was all tired out. My
skin was white, almost transparent at
times and there was a numbness in
my hands and limbs. My nerves were
all nnstrung and ! a in constant
dread Of paralysis.
"This condition had existed for years
when ! read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and began the treatment. In a
few days my strength began to return
and o ! felt better in every way. In
a few weeks my circulation became
better and the numb sensations ceased
entirely
II think that DIR. Williams Pink
Pills are a fine remedy and | have
gladly recommended them to my
friends and acquaintances.'

Hurry as Accident Cause.

Sir Basil Thompson, the London po-
lice expert now in this country, thinks
tho American temperament~the desire
to get there in 4 hurry Jig responsible
for most Of our street accidents. II Is
not only the temperament of our driv-
ers, but Of our pedestrians, he says,
that Is TO blame. Both take chances
that would not be thought Of in Lon
don. The speed limit is not definitely
fixed in England, he said the question
Of reckless driving being left to the
discretion Of the officers, yet accidents
are rare as compared to our rate. 1t is
true there are fewer cars, but he at
tributes the greater safety largely to
the British hesitancy to run risks and
to the greater respect for police au-
thority.
There is nothing particularly new in
this except that vt may suggest TO
Americans that our hurrying habit may
have to be abated by modern traffic
conditions. We are slow to realize that
street crossing habits that were safe
enough before the automobile must be
changed or that with the daily increas
ing number of cars there Is relative
need for increased crution on the part
of drivers. Also, that there are times
when hurryins is risking perhaps, in
definite delay, as In trying to beat
trains over crossings, We ought TO be
satisfied with the time gained by faster
transportation and content ourselves
with the resulting momentary delays
that insure fety.Pittsburgh Dis
patch.

Locust Problem in tine Philippines.

Agriculture is the basis of Philippine
prosperity. The islands are an agricul.
tural country, and anything that al
versely affects the growing crops i a
blow at economic progress. Hence
business men and business organiza-
tions should be vitality interested in the
proper conduct of campaigns against
the evils from which our agriculture
suffers and which menace it.
Probably the most serious danger
to agriculture in the islands to-day Is
the locust pest. These insects are en-
gagged In devastating campaign
against all growing things in various
parts of the islands. The fight against
them is for the most part helpless, the
trouble being that It was begun too
late. After the locusts have reached
the flying stage, few, if any, counter.
active measures devised by man are
really effective. Experience has dem
onstrated that the only really eifcc.
tive way of lighting the pest is 10 at
tack il when the insects are in the
hopping stage. In that period Of
their physical development they can
be rounded up and exterminated in
huge numbers.
When every few years locust vis.
itation comes over the islands great
activity is displayed by insular,
provincial and municipal officials to
fight the evil--but in nine cases o'It of
ten when it is too late. Little heed 10
taken Of II when it can be successful
ly combatted. 1t "a case of locking
the stable door after the horse has
been stolen. All the diligence, interest
and activity in the world will not
eradicate the locusts once they can
soar into the air and alight wherever
they please. The few bags that might
be caught in nets have no appreciable
effect upon the cloudlike swarms. The
natives catch them for food.
against successful anti-locust cam
paign Is the lack OF funds. Instead of
the 10000 pesos or 10000 pesos an
nually appropriated for this purpose,
the amount should be at least ten
fold that sum. One private sugar
alone spent more money than
the philippine government on anti-po-
Gust activities this year.
These. then, are the two greatest
needs for successful campaign against
locusts in the islsnds--more timely
action by those charged with conduct
ing the campaign and more funds. Ex-
perts are Of the opinion that the fight
can be successfully waged if IL is be-
gun in time and money is available
for a thoroughgoing campaign. Mil
lions OF pesos are lost by every To-
Gust visitation. Wouldn't II be good
business policy TO expend a few hun
bred thousand to save that loss -

Rubber Tired Cattle Thieves.

When the scotch rieyers raided across
the Tweed and took home their spoils
they drove them back on the hoof and
went no faster than the slowest steer,
which made retreat dangerous. This
was likewise true Of the range rustlers
Of the early cattle days Of the great
West. These hardy moss troopers
fought rear guard actions as they
urged their captured herds before them
To-day that modern invention, the
motor truck, has made the mounted
raider as much out of date as the flint
lock musket. No longer does the cat
tlel thief rid forth on fiery steed to
snatch openly the property OF the de-
spised herder. Instead he swings him
self into comfortably cushioned seat,
touches the button of the self starter
and goes almost noiselessly upon his
way.
From Clark and Fayette counties in
this state come stories of the depreda
tions of the pneumatieti foragers
which tell of completely transformed
thievery. Descending upon the fitlds
at night, robbers recently removed
twentyoDe hogss at one place and four
teen in another place while their own
ers slept Investigation reveals that
more wakefni persons heard the ma
chine exhsusting and the captured
swine snorting as they passed home
ward TO the place of deposit. Each Of
the stolen animals weighed about two
hundred pounds. indicating the pres
cnce of an unusually large truck or
number of smaller ones.
Nor does any trace remain which
might lead TO the discovery Of the dep
redators. Whit their booty slowed in
the truck behind them. they sped across
the country upon perfect highways at
q rate Of speed that the fastest rover,
superbiy mounted, might never hope to
achieve. When dawn came they were
perhaps hundred miles away. Hence
the new psoblem Of the farmer and
stockman. To meet the new menace IL
may become necessary to inclose their
cattle in burglar proof pens or stow
them away in barns protected nv bank
vault doors and electric alarm devices.
