U.C. I. WILL
HAVE MINSTREL
SHOW IN APRIL
Frank O. French Will
Stage the Event April
% and 29

Over 100 members Of the St.
Johnsbury Council, No. 230, u. C.
T. sat down to one of Landlord
Murphy'sbcst feastS at the Avenue
hotel Saturday evening and after
the smelts, broiled chickens and
other delicious viands had been
taken care of the cigars were light
ed. The boys gave uD the rest Of
the evening to the discussion of
the minstrel show. Much of the
discussion was quite informal, but
before the program was COM
pleted Harry II. Carr gave a gra-
phic description of the finish of
inc dog race.
\. y. Wilcomb raped to order,
fcliowing the lighting OF the cigars
and presented Fred c. ellison as
POSTMASTER. The latter had many
good stories throughout the even
ing and proved as excellent an in
terlocutor at the banquet table as
in the show.
Fred L. Follensby, Senior Coun-
cillor, spoke of the three cardinal
virtues of the order, one of these
was unity and he declared that all
were united in making the next
minstrel show the best ever
w. A. Kicker presented the fin
ancial report of last years show.
The receipts were approximately
$1,000 from the sale of $500
tickets and the program. The net
receipts of the three performances
were $47995 of which $148.50
was from the program and $331.48
from the show itself.
Frank O. Fre0ch was warmly
&pplauded when he rose to speak.
He spoke of the success of prev
ious entertainments, saying he was
always ready to help the boys and
would do his best to get up an
other show if they wanted his ser
vices. From the shouts all over
the dining room it was very cvl-
dent that the boys did not want
anybody else for a director. He
then briefly outlined his plans for
the coming show and said that the
dates that had been suggested,
April % and 20, would suit him
all right.
Mr.. French's remarks started d
general discussion as to the advis-
ability of having a show this year
and while two or three thought it
unwise because of husines condi-
tions, the vote fo.' show was
overwhelming in the affirmative
and the dates were fed.
Fred w. Kelley made strong
speech in favor of having a show,

TI0NAL SCHOOL
The First Class of Ten
Will Graduate In
June

One of the most successful de-
partments of our public school
system is the vocational school,
now in its fourth year that is con-
Quoting its work at the scale fac
tory. The building near The
scale Office formerly known as the
"Casino" has been fitted up for ii,
school which now has E2 boys. Di-
vided by classes there arc 10 in
the senior class, II in the Junior,
IA in the sophomore, and II in .ao
freshmen class 1t is interesting
to note that 83 per cent of the
boys that entered the first fresh
man class nearly four wears ago
are now in the senior class which
will graduate in June and will be
the first class to graduate from
this school. Scventy-five per cent
of the boys that entered the other
classes are still in the school.
When the school year opened
there were only 81 boys enrolled,
but this number has Steadi'-- n
creased until now there are 80.
The faculty consists of three
members, S ]. Steward. J. f. Mel
son and Miss Heather Smith. The
school by paying one-half the sal
ary of the teachers. The town of
st. JohnSbury nays the rest and
also for the equipment. The build
ing and the heat and lights arc
furnished by f. and 7. Fairbanks
and Co.
The method of instruction is
the same as in the other vocation
al schools in Vermont that is, Il
week in the school room alternat-
ing with Il week in the factory.
While in the shops the boys arc
paid "a fixed sum per hour and arc
paid Off every week with the rest
of the employees. The bows are
scattered all through the scale
factory where besides learning
much Of factory methods thev arc
real help to their employees.
In the second story of their
schoolroom is a workshop where
the boys have remadc an electric
motor and done many other
things in machine work. Aside
from their mechanical work thev
have recently started school
paper as a part of their course in
Enolish.
The Vocational schools have
come TO stav and st. Johnsburv'5

MIR. DARLING
FAVORS OPEN
ROADS IN WINTER
Points to Small Expense
of Keeping Hill Road
Open

That the expense Of keeping
roads open in the winter months
is small is the statement of E. A..
Darling, one Of Northeastern Ver-
mont's best known citizens, in a
communication to the Calcdonian-
Record. Mr.. Darling knows just
what the cost is for during the
past five or six years he had kept
open the hill road from his home
at Burkelyn Hall in East Burke to
the main road to Lyndonville. Mr..
Darling sends the following inter-
cSting letter to the Caledonian-
Record:
Editor:
am much pleased that '-ou have
opened the columns of YOUR valued
paper for the discussion Of winter
roads.
The demand from all Quarters
for good roads the year round IS
steadily increasing and there is
probably no single expense that
the taxpayer more cheerfullv
meets because of the return in
personal comfort.
Larec sums of money have becn
expended on roads in the last few
wears and great improvement has
been made. as any one will admit,
hut as yet not enouoh attention
has hcen given to the "Stitch in
time" feature that is ALWAYS I
money saver
With the millions of dollars IN
vested in automobiles in this state
and the hundreds of thousands
maid for annual licenses it seems as
if we ought to he able to motor
on the main roads at least ten

Harding. With its work charac-
terized by Mr.. Harding as "The
first deliberate and effective eX-
preston of the great powers IN
the consciousness of wars utter
futility" the gret conference went
to its nitche of history to await
the judgment and the development
of the future.
In the great assembly hall of the
Daughters of the American Revol-
ution where all its open sessions
have been held, the delegates of
the nine nations assembled, march
ed in turn to a space at the table
and affixed their signature to trea-
ties and agreement which are all
parts of the structure built TO life
from a War-Worn world the Bur
den of excessive naval armaments; F.;
to promote the peace of the Paci
tic; to give a new bill OF rights to
China and to remove from the
Far East, particularly, the clouds
of war.
AS each delegation affixed their
signature as plenipoteniaries the
great audience expressed the hope
of the world in its loud and pro-
longed applause. The Americans
signed first; followed by the de-
legations of Belgium, Great Brit
ain, France, Italy, Japan, the
Netherlands, China and Portugal.
At the conclusion of the cere-
mony of signing, President Hard
ing gave his address formally clos
ing the conference as he formally
had opened it a little more than II
weeks ago. The President, as he
read slowly fromh is manuscript,
was frequently interrupted by APP
plause. When he had finished the
audience and delegates bowed their
heads as a benediction was pro-
nounced.
There was loud applause as Pre-
sident Harding digressed to say,
"while the settlement of the Far
Eastern question was not of direct
import to the United States, we
rejoice in common with the world
that understands, has been reach
ed" AS the President named the
American delegates and thanked
them for their services to the ma
ton, there was anplause at the
mention of each delegates name.

q. In an amateur game, is an
overtime period considered an eX-
ira period?
K. No. The overtime is con-
sidercd an cxtention of the second
half, and should be played with
no rest intervening.
@. Was Referee Kaney right
in calling a foul on the Bcrnn

rule says that when time is called
because of sickness or illness to a
player, play must be resumed in
two minutes. No player during
the intermission, except the injur-
ed one, can leave the court. Play
crs may be Dcnalized for violation

umpire says that it is so-and-so's
ball out, and the referee saws it is
the other sides ball out, wha must
be done?

by federal and state agencies were Sc
cured by the use Of calcium arsenatc
in dust form properly applied.
Poison only when the air is calm
and the plants are moist, using from
| five to seven pounds per acre for each
application. When wecvils are
abundant when fruiting Of cotton be-
igins, one application may be made at
THAT time. Use no calcium arsenatc
that has not been examined by fed
eral or state authorities and pronounce
ed satisfactory. The next application
should be made when the weeyils have
punctured from ten to fifteen percent
Of the squares, followed by two addi-
tional applications four days apart.
Infcstation counts should be made fire.
Quently and can be made by any
farmer who follows the simple direc-
tons furnished upon application. The
object is to keep the cotton thorough
ly busted until the weevils are under
control. This may require varying
number Of applications Of poison, de-
pending on the season, and other con-
ditions. If wcevils should become suf-
hciently numerous to severely injure
the young bolls, one or two more APP
plications late in the season should be
made.
IN case Of heavy rain within twcn-
ty-four hours after dusting, the appli-
cation should be repeated Immediately.
Always a carefully selected plot Of
cotton should be left imprisoned for
comparison with the adjoining pois-
,oncd tract. This will help to deter
mine how much the yield was increas-
