BRIEF LOCALS
FAUNCE DEMONSTRATION FARM
Those who have peach trees find
that the borers are one of their most
serious pests, often-times many fail-
ures that are attributed to other
causes, even by experienced growers,
are due to the borers.
The mature borers are clear winged
moths. The first appear about the
middle of June and others mature dur-
ing the summer. The moths lay the
eggs that produce the young borers.
The eggs may be laid at any point on
the branches of the tree, but the larg-
er part of the young borers make
their way to the trunk near the sur-
face of the ground.
A large number of remedies have
been recommended and tried, most of
which are of mtle value and some
oven injure the tree.
The best remedy so far found is
to dig them out by a wire and knife;
search being made on each tree every
fall and spring. They are detected by
the gummy secretion on the roots of
the tree or on the trunk just under
ground.
The gum that accumulates where
borers are working is often full of
small white maggots that are the lar-
vae of a fly. Many kill these thinking
they are the borers. The maggots are
harmless; they live in the gum and do
not bore into the trees at all.
faome people use protective bands
at the base of the tree; also some
sticky substance like printer's ink or
tanglefoot which hinders the beetle
from laying its eggs.
Poisonous solutions or washes
poured around the base of the trees
are not satisfactory. Whatever rem-
edy is used besides digging out the
borers, it should be applied before the
middle of June to keep them .out. It
is doubtful,if other remedies are
worth while.
Mounding the base of the tree with
earth about six or eight inches high,
is as satisfactory as any preventative.
It keeps out some of the borers and
causes those that get in to work sev-
eral inches higher so that they are
easier to get at. The mounds should
be thrown up. by the middle of June
and removed about the first of Sep-
tember when the borers should be dug
out. Go over the trees in the spring
to get those that are missed in the
fall.
If young trees from the nursery con-
tain borers dig them out before plant-
ing. The best tools for digging out
borers are a gardener's .
trowel for
removing the earth, a stiff wire for
prodding into cracks where borers are
lodged, and a sharp, long bladed knife
for cutting away bark.

COMMENCEMENT
The Normal School
Beginning with socialfestivities, the
first being the Faculty and Junior pic-
nic to the Seniors, and ending with
the events of graduation day, which
was last Monday, Commencement for
class 1910 Hvannis State Normal
School has betn a de-ightful and in-
teresting period. After days and days
of clouds and rain, clea :- skies were
doubly appreciated, aad ttitj well ken
and beautiful grounds under sunny
skies excited pleasure and admiration
In the morning the class day exer-
cises were given, the entire student
body participating. According to cus-
tom a march composed of many pret-
ty and effective figures took place on
the campus. The Seniors bore on
their shoulders ropes of daisies, the
class flower , while the Juniors earned
wands of the same, which many times
during the marching, formed arches
under which the Seniors passed. The
n ixt feature was the ivy.planting, the
school gathering for that part of the
program at the east side of the build-
ing. Miss Agnes Flanders gave the
Ivy oration. The Seniors then sang
their class song, and their flag, amid
the shouts of the class yell, was
raised. The Juniors followed, rais-
ing the flag of 1911. The exercises
ended with the singing of the school
song and the school yell. The young
ladies were all in white.
In the afternoon the final instruc-
tion to the Seniors and students was
given, Mr. David Snedden, Commis-
sioner of Education, being delegated
io give the parting message. His sub-
ject was The Golden Age in Educa-
tion, and he said the present was
that period. He pointed out to the
class the opportunities which were
theirs in having a part in this great
work. He impressed upon them the
importance of adapting themselves to
whatever situations and surroundings
they came in contact with, and urged
the members of the class to aim to be
leaders.
Mr. Snedden also presented the di-
plomas.
The gift which the class left to the
school was a bust of John Quincy
Adams which was presented in a hap-
py address by Mr. Lemuel Fish, the
class president.
Added to the regular program, Mr.
L. P. Crocker of Forestdale offered a
few practical remarks, which were ap-
preciated by Mr. Baldwin and the au-
dience.
The young ladies of the class wore
white graduation gowns, which at-
tracted special attention as each girl
made her own under the instruction
of the teacher in that line of work.
The program was as follows:
Prayer—Rev. Bnrke F. Leavltt.
"O God, The Rock of Ages."
Address—David Snedden.

B. H. S. Alumni
The Barnstable High School Alum-
ni Association held its annual banquet
at Camp Opechee, Wequaquet lake,
last Wednesday evening.
A short business meeting at 6.30
was followed by the dinner which was
served out of doors on a balcony over-
looking the water. Japanese lanterns
hung over the tables and an abun-
dance of wax candles lent a festive
appearance to the board. No pains
were spared by the management to
make their guests comfortable.
In the absence of Mr. Samuel W.
Hallett, President of the Association,
Mr. H. H. Baker, First Vice President,
acted as Toast Master and introduced
the various speakers in his usual
pleasing manner. Mr. Baker read a
letter from Mr. Hallett expressing his
regret that he could not be present.
Short speeches were made by Mr.
James Otis, Mr. Sylvester Baxter, Mr.
Louis M. Boody and Edward Terry,
President of the Class of 1910.
Mr. Edward T. hartman, Secretary
of the Massachusetts Civic League,
was the speaker of the evening. His
theme was good citizenship and he
made a strong plea for clean
government, denouncing party rule
and ring rule.
A toast was proposed to the mem-
ber of the School Board, who is also a
member of the Alumni, and right
heartily rang out three cheers for Dr.
Heman B. Chase.
Speeches were followed by dancing
and the party broke up shortly after
twelve.
This was one of the largest attend-
ed of the many meetings of the asso-
ciation and one of the most enjoyed.
As is the custom the members of the
graduating class of the school were
the honored guests.
Those present were:
Mr. and Mrs. James Otis, Mr. Sylvester Bax-
ter, Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Hartmann, Mr. and Mrs.

Barnstable High Graduation
Again it is the close of .the school
year and a time of reckoning. The
point is reached when the pupils who
have done the required work for the
year pass from their respective
grades to a higher, until in the High
school those having completed cer-
tain courses are graduated.
The town of Barnstable granted di-
plomas to fifteen young men and
women at its High school at Hyan-
nis, graduation exercises on last
Thursday evening.
This means that these young people
have accomplished the work laid out
in a course of study covering thirteen
years, and recognition is earned. It
also brings to mind the service which
the town renders its boys and girls,
when without money or price it pro-
vides for them thirteen years of in-
struction, (text books and school sup-
plies thrown in) for which it appro-
priates annually about $30,000.
A town owes this to its future citi-
zenship but it is not out of place to
pause for a moment in appreciation of
this splendid provision and the spirit
which promotes education.
This occasion of graduation from
the High school is a memorable point
in the lives of those who reach it and
to make it a pleasant memory is suf-
ficient reason for celebrating and mak-
ing it festive.-
For many reasons the class of 1910
has cause to be proud of its exercises
and for one reason in particular , that
each member took a part , that not
only were they ornamental , in that,
A forest fire burned over an area of
nearly 100 acres of woodland Sunday
and destroyed 30 cords of cut wood
owned by Frank Arey.
The fire was probably set by a
spark from a train at noon. It soon
gathered such headway, fanned by a
strong southwest wind, that men were
summoned from every direction to
fight the flames, under direction of
Deputy Fire Warden David Nickerson.
For a time the South Yarmouth rail-
road station was in great danger and
also the town house near by, but by
great exertion on the part of the fire
fighters and a shift of wind the flames
were diverted and the buildings saved.
The fire was got under control about 5.
Forest Fire in Yarmouth Woods
The most sensational of the sen-
sational episodes which have charac-
terized the so-called "Gloverycase" oc-
curred in the Middlesex county superi-
or criminal court, East Cambridge,
Friday afternoon when Dist-Atty. Hig-
gins recommended the acquittal of
the seven persons whose indictment
on a charge of being accessories after
the fact to the murder of Clarence F.
Glover on Nov. 20 last was secured by
himself.
Judge Stephens instructed the jury
to return a verdict of not guilty in the
case of each of the accused, and this
was done, without the jurymen leav-
ing their seats.
This verdict is believed to mark the
end of the preliminary proceedings in
the Glover case. The trial of Hattie
LeBlanc will occur in September.
Accused Glover Murder Accessories
Freed by Judge's Order
seated together upon the platform
they made a splendid picture and one
of promise, but that the name of each
appeared upon the program.
A large audience, assembled from
various villages, was in waiting to
participate, parents and other rela-
tives taking just pride in the individ-
ual honors of the graduates. The ex-
ercises were held in the Baptist
church, the auditorium of which was
effectively decorated in green, a
special feature being the facsimile of
the class pin conspicuously placed.
One feature which the audience enjoys
is the march of the school down the
aisles to the seats in front,the gradu-
ates being the central figures on the
platform.
As usual the young ladies' gowns
were white and dainty in effect and
design.
The program follows:
Grande Marche de Concert, Wollenhaupt—Elsie
May Wilson. _ , ,

Frau-
ds Terry.
Very pleasant things are said of the
program and above all others that,
while ordinarily there is much same-
ness and similarity of style, in this
case each part was individual and
there was magic in each effort, so
that it was not a long and tiresome
evening but from beginning to the
end, entertaining. Versatile in its
accomplishments, the class made the
order musical as well as literary, be-
ginning with the march, played by
one of Hyannis' most talented young
ladies, Miss Elsie M. Wilson. The
other selections on the piano, one solo
Dy Miss Hamblin, and the other a duet
by Miss Ames and Miss Higgins, won
also appreciative responses from the
audience.
The Girls' Glee Club gave a group
of delightful songs. This club is not
'confined to the graduating class but
was made up of members from the
several classes.
The audience appreciated the op-
portunity of hearing Mr. Fred Scud-
der sing and the class is sure that his
future work will be an honor to it. The
school singing was at its best and a
credit to the instructor in that branch,
Miss Horsman.
As the class president, Mr. Terry,
said, in his happy address of welcome,
this graduation was of the old-fashion-
ed style, but many innovations and
unique features as well as well-chosen
subjects for essays, proved, as it often
does, that old-fashioned ways are the
best.
"Educational Aims" was full of fine,
careful thought as to what education
means, and that one should make the
best of his opportunities.
A light and humorous selection
which was cheering, was the mono-
logue "Polite to Strangers" well given
by Miss Fuller.
"Obligations of Citizenship" by Mr.
Bodfish suggested the duty of fulfill-
ing our every day obligations to all
with^whom we come in contact, and
that in politics, offices should not be
held for personal gain but for public
benefit.
Under the subject "Wireless Tele-
graphy" something of the history of
message sending through the air was
given, the latest method of which was
illustrated by the speaker who
showed a real instrument which he
operated.
Something unusual was expected
from Mr. Crowell and his R. F. D.,
and with clever and witty words he
presented to the members of the class
gifts common to class wills.
The history was a review of the
noteworthy events of the past four
years of school cleverly related. Mr.
Hallett gave an excellent history of a
branch of government work "The
Census" and an entertaining account
of the amusing situations in which a
census taker finds himself placed.
1 Original in its plan was the prophecy
by Miss Nickerson, being the reading
of a bundle of letters supposed to
have been written by the classmates
in 1916 telling of themselves and
others, which was very enjoyable to
the audience and to the school.
Miss Ethel Murray, the last mem-
ber upon the program, recited beauti-
fully the appropriate peom "At School
Close" by Whittier.
Dr. Heman B. Chase, the new mem-
ber of the school board, presented the
diplomas, with happy suggestions for
nit.ure work.
The class colors were black and
gold.
A well earned and what everybody
hopes will be a happy vacation began
on"Friday when the class took an early
morning start for a trip to the White
Mountains.
It may go without saying, but it
should also be said that the success
of the entire program, which everyone
declares good is largely due to inde-
fatigable labor on the part of the
town's splendid principal, Mr.-
- L. .M.
Boody, and assistants, Miss Charlotte
S. Sibley, MIbb Lena Nutter and Miss
Georgia M. Simons.
Elizabeth Lowell High
The graduation exercises of the
Elizabeth Lowell High took place last
Tuesday before a large and apprecia-
tive audience.

CHILEAN STEVEDORES
A Ferocious Class of Men With th«
Manners of Savages.
At Caronel, the principal coaling port
on the vest coast of South America, it
Is customary for cargo boata to ship
twenty c^r thirty Chilean stevedores, in
addition to the regular crew, to break
out the cargo when it is consigned to
various ports farther up the coast. A
worse looking lot of cutthroats than
these seagoing longshoremen it would
be hard to nud even among the ban-
dits of southern Europe or the old time
pirates of the West Indies. Swarthy,
undersized, dirty and clothed in non-
descript rags, they are about the bot-
tom notch in the scale of humanity.
What they lack in intelligence they
make up in ferocity and animal cun-
ning. Even a crew of Kanakas will
refuse to berth or mess with them.
Every man of them carries a knife,
and they are commanded by an over-
seer who is addressed as "captain"
and exerts a certain degree of author-
ity. They do their own cooking while
aboard ship, each man serving as cook
for a week, at the end of which time
he resigns in favor of the nest in line.
Of course the "captain" never de-
scends to menial labor, not even to
work the cargo. He stands by with a
cigarette between his fingers and di-
rects his men. The table manners of
these seniisavages are the manners of
the stone age. Neither knives, forks
nor spoons are used, but every man
grabs for himself and crams as much
as he can into his mouth at once, greed-
ily tearing the meat apart #yth his
fingers and cleaning up the grease
with a piece of bread, which also does
duty as a napkin before it is swal-
lowed. A number of sheep generally
are taken out on these tramp steamers
and killed when fresh meat is needed.
When the Chileans learn a sheep is
going to be killed they crowd around
with tin cups or basins to catch the
warm blood, which they drink eagerly.
They also bring chunks of bread and
sop np every drop that falls.—New
York Press.
CHINESE CUNNING
An Official' s Subtle Scheme For\8ecur-
Ing His Prisoners.
One v,f the funniest stories about
Chinatown is not really Chinese. It
was told by a British consul at one of
the treaty ports. He arrested nine de-
linquent Chinese, intending "to turn
them over to the tender mercies of the
native magistrate next morning. Mean-
while he gave them Into the custody
of a Chinese policeman, telling him ^o
lock them up, though there was no jail
at the consulate. But the policeman
was equal to the emergency. He sol-
emnly saluted, saying, "I obey!" and
marched his men off. Soon he return-
ed and announced that they were
safely caged.
The consul was curious to see how
and where. He followed his police-
man to the yard. There he saw the
nine prisoners dancing round the con-
sulate flagstaff , lugubriously chanting
the Chinese equivalent of "ring around
a rosy." Whenevej the dance showed
signs of nagging the policeman stirred
them up with a long pole. They seem-
ed at first sight to be holding each
other's hands, but, looking closer, the
consul saw that they were handcuffed
together.
"Well," said the consul, -'if they nro
chained in a ring around the flagstaff
they can certainly not get away. But
why do you make them dance?"
"Ah," answered the Chinese police-
man, with infinite cunning, "so that
they cannot climb up the polo and get
away!"
The consul broke out Into a loud
British laugh and tried to explain to
the Chinaman that the nine prisoners
could certainly not all climb up the
pole at once, but the Chinaman had
his idea and held to it. So the dance
went on.—Harper's Weekly.

The fine hairs about tne moutn oi
the borse nro organs of touch of ex-
treme delicacy. They serve to a cer-
tain extent the same purpose us our
finger ends, the whiskers -of the cat or
the trunk of the eloplmnt. Sensitive-
ness is due to specially developed end-
ings of nerves in the skin, which are
continually sending messages to the
brain. The lip hairs of the horse first
receive the stimulus, which is commu-
nicated to the end organs and so pass-
es on to the brain. They come into
play when the horse samples a new
article of food. He first smells it and,
having so far satisfied himself, touch-
es it delicately with those sensitive
hairs. The upper lip moves softly in
quick sympathy and confirms the opin-
ion suggested by the hairs. The
tongue judges finally as to the fitness
of the food. When the horse wishes
to drink these hairs assure him that
the water is free from foreign matter
on the surface, for he drinks from the
surface only. They detect the smallest
particle of dirt and guide him to the
purest place.
Hairs Upon Horses' Lips. .
There Is a certain banker and broker
doing business not a hundred miles
from the bank, says a London weekly,
whose health for some time has not
been all that he could desire. Not
long ago he was complaining to his
brother, when the latter after a care-
ful survey of his brother's counte-
nance said:
"What you need, old man, is plain
country food. Come to my place in
the country and we'll soon set you up.
This rich food is proving too much-for
you. Take breakfast, for Instance.
All I have Is two cups of coffee, a bit
of steak with a baked potato, some
light muffins or a stack of buttered
toast, together with a bit of water-
cress or lettuce. What do you have?"
For a moment the city banker gazed
in hearty admiration at his brother.
"A cup of hot water and two slices
of dry toast," he replied soberly. "But.
Jim, if you think a simple diet like'
yours will 'set me up,1 why, I'm per-
fectly willing to try it."
The Simple Diet. ,
"Mr. Orchardson. if I thought that
by Killing you..I could paint a picture
like yours I would stab you to the
heart." Such was the remark made
by Pellegrini, the famous caricaturist,
to the Royal academician. Sir William
Orchardson, when at a private view
he first saw "Hard Hit," the picture
of the ruined gambler. "It was." said
the artist, "the greatest compliment
I could have had." Guriously enough,
the model who sat for the ruined
gamester was rather fond of cards
himself. One. day the artist noticed
that he looked somewhat depressed.
"What is the matter?" he asked. "I
was awfully hard hit last night," he
answered. "By Jove." replied the
artist, jumping up with delight. "I've
got it at last! 'Hard Hit.1 of course."
And that is how the picture got Its
name.
The Story of "Hard Hit."
The six follies of science are ttie
squaring ot the circle, perpetual mo-
tion, the philosopher's stone, the elixir
of life, magic nud astrology.
In all ages men of undoubted ability
have toiled early and late to unravel
the mysteries supposed to be connect-
ed with these fascinating problems. It
is not always remembered that such
intellectual giants as Bacon. Sir Rob-
ert Boyle and Sir Isaac Newton sought
the philosopher's stone. In the study
of astrology Lilly was for a time even
pensioned by parliament.
Most of these "follies" conferred In
direct benefits upon scieuce, for in
seeking one thing their devotees dis-
covered many another. The craze for
the secret, or unknown, has still its
hold upon men and is seen in palmis-
try and kindred cults.
Six Follies of Science.
The wig is only worn Dy Eiugiisu
barristers to give .them a stern, judi-
cial appearance, and no one can say
that It fails in this respect. The cus-
tom was originated by a French judge
in the seventeenth century when, hap^
pening to don a marquis' wig one day,
he found it gave him such a stern and
dignified appearance that he decided
to get one for himself and wear It at
all times in court. This he did, and
the result was so satisfactory from a
legal point of view that not only
judges, but barristers also, took up the
custom throughout Europe.—London

Hamlar—Why In the dickens have
you got that string tied around your

fairs, a satisfactory verdict waH
reached.
Acquitted.
