A NEW TIDE OF IMMIGRATION.
SwedeS from the Aaland Islands Com
ing to the United States.

The exodus of Swedes from the
Aaland islands TO the United States has
begun. Several groups of about 30 per-
sons each already are on their way to
America
Sweden appears to be alarmed over
this new tide of emigration although it
is not large in volume, but no student of
the Aaland situation is surprised. The
islands, which lie in the mouth of the
gulf of Bothnia between Sweden and
Finland were claimed by both countries
after the separation of Finland and Rus
sia. About a year ago the council OF
the league of nations awarded the islands
to Finland.
Sweden accepted the decision. but the
Aalanders have never made any secret
of their disappointment. the overwhelm-
ing majority of them being of Swedish
blood. The population of the islands is
only about $4,000 and Sweden IS anxious
to have this stock remain Swedish even
under Finnish rule.
The Stockholm press says that the
Aalanders are among the best that the
Swedish race has to offer, being physic
ally strong. hard working and intelli
gent and from the American point o.
view, desirables. -

BANDIT BEETLES
a Bean Famine Predicted Because o
Mexican Insect

Baked beans at dollar portion
Is the plebeian bean to be driven from
its present democratic company into the
ranks of the aristOcracy?
This question is raised by c. A.
Briggs in an article in Popular Science
Monthly. in which he warns of seri-
Gus menace to Americas bean crop as
the result of an invasion by the Mexi-
can bean beetle, "a pest of the first mag
nitude.'
This marauder, of the ''ladybug fam
iiy, has already gained firm feOthOld
in southern states, including Arizona
New Mexico. Colorado and Alabama
says Mr.. Briggs, and indications are
that the northern districts viii also be
invaded.
Beans of all kinds are being attacked
and entire crops are being wiped out
One of the most serious features of
the situation, the writer points out, lies
in the fact that the bean beetle attacks
the very plants that possess the double
agricultural value of not only supplying
food and fodder, but likewise of fertiliz-
ing the soil
.The bean family is notable for the
formation of certain tuberS on the
roots he observes. These tubers, in
conjunction with the action of bacteria,
take nitrogen from the air and com
bine it to form nitrates that enrich the
soil. Upon this fact are based some OF
the most far-reaching advances of mod
ern agriculture of immense Importance
to the South. Ultimately. if no remedy
is found the result will be that the nitro
gen which the beans were expected to
supply to increase soil fertility must be
obtained from other sources. In al
eases, this means power, and power
means coal.
Hope of eliminating the marauders
| has long since vanished. If beans art
to remain a household article of food
some means of combating the invading
army will be necessary. The prcsen
annual value of the bean crop in tn,
United States is $100,000,00O. From
| this huge yearly food pile, the Mexican
bandit beetle is already consuming NOR,
| beans than Boston"

Bellows Falls Barber Has Weston Wom-

The Taylor barber shop on Bridge

these busy days was when, according to
the proprietor, the oldest woman in Yer
mont to have her hair bebbed came to his

Weston and, climbing into one of the

hair be bobbed in approved 1apper style.
She wanted to know if the barber had
had plenty of experience, and upon re-
ceiving assurances the clipping proceeded.
Upon completion Of the job, Mrs.
Snow expressed complete satisfaction
with the job, and says that she intends

Democratic Resolution for InVesti-

WASHINGTON, Aug. An at
tempt to fix by unanimous consent a
date for final vote on the administra-
ton tariff bill appeared to have been
definitely abandoned today, but private
negotiations were under way looking to
at least some curtailment of discussion.
Some Republicans believed this might
lead to results, but certain Democratic
senators were understood to object to
limitation of debate until after the sec
ton of the bill dealing with duties on
,sugar and hides had been disposed OF.
!. Irpsetting plans of Republican and
Democratic leaders for a final vote on
the administration tariff bill on the 18th,
Senator Lenroot. Republican, OF Wis

least until all important committee
amendments to the measure had been
discussed and acted upon.
The Democratic proposal for a nnai
vote on the 10TH and the RepuDhcah
counter-proposition for vote on the

FIRST morning hour the senate has had
since the tariff bill was taken up. IN
the midst of the debate, Senator GoodlhS

Heu1t-tO-Heart Discussion
By Cha1ttauQata Gua71untO7S
Interesting Event Not On
Regular Scheduled
Program

An important event that was not on
the Chautauqua program but which by
reason of its interesting and humorous
features proved almost equally as profit
able as many of the featured program
numbers from an entertaining point of
view, occurred last evening immediately
following the excellent talk by Dr. Frank
Bohn in the Chautauqua tent. Supt. T..
a. durham requested the guarantors and
all those interested in next years Chau-
tauqua TO remain and discuss the possi-
bilities for next season and those who
did not remain missed a lively discus
sion that might well compete with any
forum ever held in this part of the
country.
The meeting opened with remarks by
Circuit Director E. +. Miller, who said
that any Chautaqua movement to be
successful must have absolute conf
dence for a basis. The officials of Chau-
tauqua and those who locally sponsor
and support the Chautaqua movement
must have mutual confidence in each
other The officials connected with the
movement, Mr.. Miller said, mean to do
the square thing and nothing hurts
Chautaqua more than to have some per-
son say. Il got stung on Chautauqua.
As far as Brattleboro is concerned,
the Chautauqua officials operate on the
basis that there are 600 people IN the
town and immediate vicinity who ought
to support it. The fact that the move
ment here was not supported as well as
had been expected was due probably
according to Mr.. Miller, after he had
heard the pros and cons of the question
to the fact that the 80 guarantors must
have fallen down on organization; that
| they failed TO put the necessary enthusi-
asm into the movement Mr.. Miller was
anxious to have the position of the di
rectors fully understood He wanted tC

If the Barre aldermen succeed in stop

crosswalks instead of darting out into

may lose a few seconds of time For the
motorists it is particularly hard. when
machines are packed thickly on both sides
of Main street, to have people-adults
and children-dart out from behind some
parked machine and scurry across the
street, for oftentimes the moving vehicles
are almost in contact with such "jay

avoided by the narrowest margins. Here

Press First hostilties in connection
with the taking over of mines by the
state occurred this morning when pick
cts ON guard duty were fired upon from
ambush The fire was returned by the
guards and later the firing was taken up
over the entire area.
Automatic rifles were brought into ac-
ton by the troops and the firing contin-
ued for more than an hour.
Indiana troops last night were spread
over an area of 40 by 20 miles and held
control of eight mining centers in four
counties. as the first step in Governor
McCrays plan for production of coal
under state protection.
1t is planned to operate the mines
opened here by employing local miners
if they can be obtained. No one has yet
responded, however, and union officials
insist that no one will If there are no
local volunteers for the labor, state off
cials said, the work will be done by inn
ported labor.
Four hundred militiamen, in addition
to the 500 arriving Wednesday night,
came into this territory last night and by
midnight detachments had been scattered
through StcllOHS u 0idS1 owen, NTIttu
and Sullivan counties.
1t is planned to operate only the two
mines here at once and troops were sent
to the Others merely to prevent possible
rcprisals against the Rowland-POwer
mines by persons who might be opposed

Four hundred mines were sent into the
Jasonville district by Maj j.-Gen. Robert
Tyndall, who is in command of the mill
tary sector. They went in quietly and
without any warning and were replaced
here by an equal number from Camp
Knox.
There is no intimation as to whether
any other towns will be occupied by the
state troops, but it is considered certain
that more mines will be opened shortly.
