About twenty-five voters of Parie
assembled tor the special town meeting
of Saturday afternoon. One of tbem
was a woman. Deputy Town Clerk
Stanley M. Wheeler called the meeting
to order, and Walter L. Gray was elected
moderator.
Under tbe second article the sum of
$1500 was raised to pay outstanding
snow bills, tbe treaearer was authorized
to borrow that amount, and the assess
ors were Instructed to place it In tbe
assessment for 1921. Tbe opinion was
expressed by tbe selectmen that the
amount would be sufficient.
Under the third article a motion was
made to raise 12000 for outstanding high
way bills, under the same conditions.
This caused some discussion. Road
Commissioner N. A. Cummings asked
what old bill· bad been paid by tbe
selectmen from tbe 1920 appropriation,
and tbe selectmen replied, naming tbe
um of 1774 09. Mr. Cummings asked
if the selectmen could pay back bills out
of the appropriation for this year, and
the moderator replied that that would
depend upon the form of the vote rais
ing tbe money, but the records were not
at band to show the form of the vote.
Mr. Cummings expressed tbe opinion
that the road commissioners should bave
tbe expenditure of the amount raised,
but Moderator Gray assured him that on
ly tbe selectmen bad authority to draw
orders on the treasurer, and they could
do as they saw fit about referring tbe
bills to tbe road commissioners. Tbe
motion to raise tbe money was finally
carried.
A motion to bave tbe report of the
special valuation committee printed was
ma· e by Ο. K. Clifford under tbe fourth
article. Some opposed tbe motion on
the ground of the expense, and the
motion was lost.
The resignation of Charles R. Briggs
as r ad commissioner was accepted un
der :he last article in tbe warrant, and a
ballot taken for bis successor. There
wae no choice, Charles R. Briggs having
2 ν >tee, Adoey R. Tuell 1, and Bert
Jackson 1. On the second ballot Adney
R. 1 uell was elected, having β votes to
4 for Bert Jackson.

Ernest Thompson Seton, naturalist
and author, ia poing to transplant the
Maine wooda to Broadway. He ia now
trying oat on the vaudeville stage an
original aot whiob ia calculated to give
city dwellers a touch of the real wooda
and the inhabitants thereof. It ia de
scribed by a New Tork critio as follows:
The curtain is lowered for a few mo
menta and rises again, discloving a scene
in tbe Maine wood*, with a fall moon
sending its bright rays through the
branohee of the trees. The huntsman
appears, and, without any mechanical
assistance or appliances, peoples the
woods with wild animals, revealed only
by their ories. The hoot owl screeches,
reveliog in tbe moon's rays. The she
fox on the hilltop bArks and receives an
answering signal from her mate In the
valley below. Tbe wild duck cries from
overhead, and then tbe moose calls.
That is the signal for the banter. He
picks ap bis rifle and flres. Tbe imita
tions of tbe animals are all done by Mr.
Seton and are sa<d to make the eyes of
seasoned old hunters bulge equally with
those of 10 year-old small boys.
