1t was kind of an off day for

Park in Newport. Newport had the
best of a fourteen to five score.
The feature of the whole game
was off day work. Hall of Lyn-
donville didn't have enough glue
on his NIT and allowed the elusive
ball to slip from his fingers at
just the right time to favor New
port and several others on both
sides won places in the Hall of

The Newport boys did not have

Kellcy's curves and Polli was not
at his best, The first few innings
the home team found it Just like
getting money from home or like
taking candy from children, or
doing any or those tabled easy
things, to steal bases from their
opponents.
Kelly came to in the last half of
the game and secured seven of his
eight strike-outs in the fifth and
thereafter But even 50, he didn't
come all the way to-not far
enough to hold the score down.

Vermont Farm Bureau

June 26-July |

(By NJ. V. Barnes, County AGENT
The season for summer visitors
has arrived and thousands of cars
will be passing through our state.
The visitors come to see our beau
tifuI scenery and our farms and
farm homes. Almost unconscious
ly they get impressions of our
people and our state.
1t is the duty of every individ-
ual to see that his home is so neat
that these visitors from other
states will gain no wrong impress
sion concerning Vermont and Yer
montcrs. 4 coat of paint will
work wonders but there are many
things which will cost little
money that may be done to i'm
prove the general appearance Of
the farm homes. Dl5orderly door
yards and yards are insight

cry Fresh aIr treatment of farm
machinery is Il poor advertisement.
The farmer is always ovclworkcd
and busy but the last week in
June is time when spring plant
ing is over and the heaviest hay
ing is not begun. It is hoped to
make this or an earlier date an
annual cleanup week.
The executive committee urges
every County Farm Bureau mem
bcr to push this campaign. If
mcu and women, boys and girls,
will get together, results Will fol
low. Let Us make a good begin
ming this year. The town, and ci-
ties have already conducted sue
ccsSful cleanup campaigns TINS
spring. We cannot afford to
have our farms less neat than
our towns.
It Is hoped that all farmer, will
make Il special effort TO clean up
about their farms. Visitors from
other states and town dwellcrS
from our own state gain their
impressions of the efficiency oi our
farmers largely from the appear
ancc of the farms.

oceans standing in the middle of
our blankets.

cookies and other midnight spread

camp in commotion. Pete, Josie

of horrible screeches. Who was
this peculiar person and why
should he visit us at such an hour?
Good Heavens. it was a skunk!
