Former Barton Boy Gets War News.
Dean Lewis, son of N. M. Lewis,
formerly of this town and now at
Northampton, Mass., has one of the
best wireless stations in Massachu
setts. His range for strong stations is
over 2500 miles and he has picked up
messages from Colon, Panama. Of
late he has been getting news from
the warships and liners off the coast;
says a Springfield, (Mass.,) daily. Of
course the messages between the fight
ing craft are in cipher, but neverthe
less, they are interesting and indicate
localities, while others were messages
of a private nature from people oh
board the liners. The sending stations
on warships are not of the so-called
high power stations but have a radius
of about 400 to 600 miles, so Mr. Lewis
cannot get messages farther away
than that. Mr. Lewis is bound under
federal law not to make public any
messages he shall intercept.
The Marion Bickford Concert.
While not largely attended; a very
enthusiastic: and fairly good sized
audience were'most highly entertained
at the opera hall last'evening. "Songs
You Like to Hear," well expresses the
selections rendered by Miss Bickford
and all were charmed with her wonder
fully sweet contralto voice and grace
ful manner. One of the most pleas
ing things about the concert was the
fact that her selections-were under
standable, and we did not find ourselves
constantly wondering just what the
song was all about, as has been so
often the case.
Miss Daisy Stevens has a very
charming1 manner and all her readings
were received with much applause.
Both the clarinet obligato and Air
Varie by Slaytan Lang showed splendid
technique with just that right shading
that shows the difference between a
musician and a player.' These numbers
were enthusiastically received. Amory
Seaver accompanied both Miss Bick
ford and Mr. Lang in a very creditable
manner. Certainly it was a splendid
concert by yotng and talented artists,
and the encodes to each and every
selection showed the appreciation of
the audience.
Seaver Ca ididate for Senator.
To the People of Orleans County :
I have decided to become a candidate
for senator for the south lend of the
county and would respectfully ask your
support for that office. Having always
been a Republi san I ask a nomination
by that'party at their coming county
convention. Campaign promises are
sometimes 1 ma ie for the purpose of
securing votes and I do not intend to
make pledges I'might not be able to
fulfill. ' However, should you see fit to
elect me, I sho ild endeavor to be found
on the right sids of public questions.
. ..i , Very respectfully.

SCHOOL OPENS SEPT. 1st
High School to Have Another Assistant.
Domestic Science, Mechanical Draw
ing, Manual Training and Teach-.
ers
Training Course. -Established
. ..
The educational demands of - the
school district have made it imperative
to broaden the range of work in the
academy to such an extent as to
necessitate employing four full time
teachers in the high school besides the
special teacher of music. There will J
therefore be three assistants in the
academy, two women and one man.
The latter will act in the capacity : of
assistant principal.
Besides his work in supervision and
general oversight of the building the
principal will conduct . classes in
mathematics, science, manual training
and mechanical drawing. The work in
manual training is to be begun in
grades seven and eight and later made
a regular part of the academy pro
gram. A full course of work in
mechanical drawing has been mapped
out so as to be begun in the seventh
grade and continuned through the four
years in the academy. Here is to be
laid a basis for practical endeavor;
a pupil is to be taught to think and
to be able to use his hands.
An efficient teacher has been secured
to conaucr. courses in music ana in
domestic science. The work in music
is to be similar In nature to that of
last year. Domestic science, which is a
new departure, will consist of a course
in cooking open to seniors and a
course in sewing open to juniors. In
addition to this some work will be
done in sewing in grade eight.
The school trustees have finally
decided to introduce a teacher training
course on lines recommended by the
state board of education. An exnert
training teacher has been guaranteed
by the superintendent of education to
direct this department of the school.
Indications are that a large number of
students will enroll for the training
course. It will be open to high school
graduates only.
Circumstances will prevent the
publication of a school catalog until
about September 1, but in order to
bring our scheme of studies before the
undergraduates and prospective stu
dents, the school will issue in a few
days a preliminary announcement of
courses. These will be available at
this office, Pierce's pharmacy and on
the fair grounds Tuesday, the 18th.
From now on till further notice the
principal will be in his office at the
academy on Tuesday and Friday after
noons of each week from two until five
o'clock to consult with parents and
pupils concerning the courses of study.
It is requested that those who have
rooms to rent to students or teachers
will communicate with the principal.
Students should communicate with the
principal in case they wish him to aid
them in securing desirable rooms or
board.

immediately after which the party left

many friends in Barton, where she has
resided nearly all her life. To those
who have known her best this simple
quiet wedding will appear only to con
form with her natural dislike of the
pretentious. Mr. Doe is a director and
the manager of the E. L. Chandler
company at Orleans, a thorough busi
ness man, who has brought the Chand
ler company plants up to their present
efficiency. Upon their return from

FAIR NEXT WEEK.
The first fair , of the season is the
Barton fair next week, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Secretary Hamblet says things are
progressing rapidly and the entries of
blooded stock even exceeds his fondest
expectations. This certainly will be
an agricultural exhibit of more than
usual merit and every farmer in this
section of Vermont ought to visit the
Barton fair. County agent Deuel has
arranged with Caledonia county's man,
Stimpson, for an exhibit of crops
raised from the use of chemicals pur
chased cooperatively by the Caledonia
association. This ought to interest
everyone. There are many other things
of special interest in the way of agri
cultural exhibits.
vThe entries of race horses as shown
by the list just out is large and this
means plenty of fast racing.
The ball games will be of more than
usual interest this year. For details
of the teams and days on which they
play see the advertising on page six
of this issue.
Plan to meet your friends at. the
Barton fair next week.
Fair Notes.
.'"The Orleans County Agricultural
association will have a good sized tent
for jts headquarters at the Barton fair
grounds Aug. 18 to 21 inclusive. The

headquarters.
" To save confusion please let me
know at once by mail how many stalls
you want for your stock at the fair
next week.

will have a Sharpies Mechanical milk'

of the secretary-treasurer, C. W. Rich
mond, of Newport. Mr. Richmond's
report shows a total membership of
650, the largest association in Ver

receipts to date had been only $770

members to get others and make the
association number 1000 members. .

and would take less than half the
farmers of the county. Li

tution which a committee had pre
viously drawn up. They were read and
adopted. In this document the mem
bership fee was raised from $1 to $2,
the executive counsel was made elec
tive instead of appointive and other
minor changes made.
