AS NEW ENGLAND SEES 1T

(By DfJJ
The Boston park department wages
war on a large scale against the de-
structive insect pests that infest the
city. Twenty tons of arsenate OF
lead and other poisons have been
used this summer in spraying city
trees and shrubs. and the constant
warfare has greatly reduced the
hordes Of 'browntail. gypsy. elm leaf
beetle, satin. oriental and tussock
moths, which invade the parks every
year. The progress made toward ex-
terminating the parasites was shown
by the fact that the amount OF
poison used during the battle this
summer was only one-third as much
as was consumed when the ravaSes
of the pests reached their peak three
years ago.

A suit to obtain a ruling by the

legality OF recording land convey

lawyers contended that a photo

constitute a legal record. but the
selectmen prefer that such deeds be
recorded In writing. Accordingly. in
a petition 10 the court, they ask that
the town clerk be ordered to tran
scribe. either by handwriting or
typewriting all deeds and convey
ances previously recorded by photog-

method is declared legal, all deeds in

POOR SERVICE

Here are verses about which there
is now considerable ado. 1t is not
because of merit in versiflcation or
substance, but because they were
recently written by Kipling and
voice a slur on this country.
"At the eleventh hour he came.
But his wages were the same
AS ours who all day long had trod
The Winepress OF the wrath OF God.
"sincs his back had felt. no load.
Virtue still in him abode;
So he swiftly made his own.
Those lost spoils We had not won.
I'VE went home, delivered thence,
Grudging him no recompense.
Till he portioned praise or blame
To our works before he came.
IT'LL he showed US for our good
Deaf to mirth and blind to scorn-.
How We might have best withstood
Burdens that he had not borne!'

Early next month, a County Corn
Show will be held in Centreville UNI
der auspices of the Farm Bureau and
Edwin S. Valiant & Son, which firm
has put up $275 in prizes for which
80 farmers have been competing since
last spring. The prizes will be n
warded during the show, which likely
will be held in the new State Armory
il that building is then available for
public use.
Yields made in the competition are
now being reported to the County
Agricultural Agent Ernest w. Grubb.
The Farm Extension Service, which
also is sponsoring the exhibition, is
preparing a premium list that will in
clude prizes to the grower Of the best
sigle ear and of the best 10 ears Of
yellow corn.
Booths for instructions in the use
of fertilizer will be one Of the fea-
lures of the show, which is expected
to prove one of the chief agricultural
events in the county this winter.
Those in charge will invite out of
county buyers to inspect the seed dis
played in the expectation that they
will become customers. Farmers in
general are being asked to cooperate
in making the show a big success.

The clash today between the Army
and Navy, always colorful, will be
specially thrilling, owing to the pow
erful teams representing the two
branches Of the service.
The Army lost its first game of the
season last Saturday, while the Navy
continued it unbroken career of wins;
but it is likely the Army showed
more strength in holding the powerful
Notre Dame team to a single touch
down, than the Navy did in defeating
Georgetown by the score of 10 to Z.
But the battle is sure to be a thrilling
one with chances .favoring the Army
to win. 4,

Football games by Maryland col
lege teams, resulted last Saturday
just about as anticipated, although
the victory of Hopkins over St. Johns
was not expected to be so overwhelm-
ing. Hopkins had, however, rolled up
a big score against Randolph Macon
Saturday previous and there were
many who were looking for triumph
for the University.
Maryland University did well to
stand off Virginia to 6-6 tie, and
proved the College Parkers have a
strong combination. The big perform
ance this season of the Maryland boys
was that against Yale No matter
whom Old Eli pitted against Mary
land, it goes for a win.
Western Maryland has a formid-
able eleven this year. Last Saturday
they ran rough shod over Loyola,
which team has been, giving good
account Of itself this season. Today
the Methodists play Bucknell and a
gruelling contest is in sight.
Washington College wound up its
season last Saturday with a victory
the one and only-beating st. Josephs
OF Philadelphia, % to z. The Eastern
Shoremen were compelled to build
new team this year, and they will
probably make a better showing in
1927. Football, tho has never seemed
to thrive at Washington. Just why,
it is hard to tell. True, there have
been sporadic achievements in the
big game, but no consistent perform
ances. The great drawback has been
weight. For the past two or three
seasons the team has been more
"hefty," and has been giving a better
account of itself. This year, however,
by graduation and lapses, the coaches
were compelled to begin from the
bottom to turn out a representation
or the grid.
Alumni of the two colleges, Wash
ington and st. Johns will be glad to

Today's set-to between Harvard
and Yale on the football field will
mark the passing of the "Big Three
combination which has existed for so
many years-Harvard, Yale, and
Princeton, forming the Triumvirate.
While Yale is exerting her power
to placate the other two, it is not
likely her Intervention will straight
en- out matters. Princeton feels that
it has been Inundated by the Harvard
student Journal-The 1ampoon--and
l. is not likely the New Jersey Uni
versity will accept apologies already
offered. The offense seemed to have
been given in an item of the Lam
poon which stated that Harvard
would continue her yearly schedule
with Yale, but would engage other
institutions internationally. Prince
ton determined to remove that posi-
bility, so far as she was concerned,
and cut off relations.
There is now a prospect that
conference will be formed in the East,
such as exists in the West, and a
number of the big institutions, headed
by Princeton, will organize into body
OF ten or more schools. If Yale should
decide to join this, then Harvard
would be out in the cold. However,
there is some talk of keeping up the
"Big Three" body and inviting either
Dartmouth or Pennsylvania to take
Princeton's place. .:
