tinel of April 18, contains the fol
lowing item: "Announcement has

i.
rr o-i"r: .A-Trj .r"T4ch one of them was -a member
, Nedelka Simeonova, Violinist.
Barton music lovers must" surely
feel that this is a wonderful opportun
ity to hear a really great violinist.
Nedelka Simeonova is the .first Bul
garian artist to appear in America.
When she was 11 years old she came
to this country with her father, and
rat that time -aroused the interest of
many Barton people, who subscribed
funds for her education in Europe un
der Prof. Leopold Auer. After the
opening of the war, Prof. Auer. who
was a Russian, left Dresden where he
had been teaching, and Nedelka then
studied under Jfror. Havemann. In
the winter of 1919-1920 she toured
parts of Europe, playing as soloist
with leading orchestras. She return
ed to her. own country at the age of
17, appeared with the orchestra of the
King of Bulgaria, in which her father
played, and was hailed as "The .Bul
garian .Star." She was then invited
by her government to represent her
country in the 12-day musie festival
held in Prague. Y
The Boston people, who were instru
mental in obtaining funds for Nedelka
Simeonoya's musical - education feel
amply repaid for their efforts, by the
wonderful success she has made.
The two brief press comments fol
lowing serve to show a bit of the opin
ion of European critics -concerning
Mile. Simeonova's playing.
"She has. the power of bringing forth
from her instrument tones of such
wonderfully beautiful clearness as onf
has onlv heard from th rioest mas
ters." (Berlingpr Tageblatt).
"She joins rHb. natural feelinpr to
"'ich an excpotional technical tant
that at no time does she encounter
"nv difficulty. The severe require
ments of classical olayinc show her
at her best. Warmth and graceful

ORLEANS COUNTY ' COURT
Two Cases from South End of County
Tried Last Week.
Two cases in which Barton parties
were interested were up for trial
at county court last week.
The contract case-of B. F. & H. L.
Jackman v. Ava L. Peene, which oc
cupied the attention of the court the
first of last week resulted in a ver
dict for the plaintiffs. It was brought
out at this trial that Mrs. Peene, who
resides in Ybnkers, N. Y., and -spends
the summers at her summer home at
Willoughby lake, purchased of the
plaintiffs 85 window shades, claiming
the purchase price was $1.00 each,
but later received a bill "for same on
which the curtains were charged at
$2.45 each. Mrs. Peene accompanied
by her New York attorney and chauf
feur motored from New York to
Newport to be present at the trail.
The second case, which has been on
trial since Tuesday, is State v. Ella
Lurvey of Glover. States Attorney
Albert Farman is proscuting the
case for the State. Nathan Norton
of Lyndonville and W. Reirden of
Barton are attorneys for the defen
dant. Mrs. Luryey, who resides . on
the Hiram Davis farm in Glover, is
charged with having forged a check.
Thev check which was for $35 was
made to one Clyde Wheeler ,and signed
by C. C. Grow of Barton. C. A.
Nute, a merchant in Barton, cashed
the check and claims Mrs. Lurvey is
the woman wtyo presented the check
at his store. Grow claims that he
never issued the check. Several wit
nesses were on the stand and the
case went to the jury Friday
morning and returned a verdict of
not guilty. .
On Tuesday Arthur and Antoine
Quintal were brought into court and
received sentencee for breaking into
and robbing the store of W. E. Brock
in South Troy on the night of Jan
12th, of $371.31.
Arthur the older of the two brothers
j who plead guilty to the charge was
sentenced to serve one to five years in
-the house of correction. Antoine who
stood trial and was convicted, owing
to his youth was left off with a fine
of $500.00 and costs amounting to
$26.00. The two young men were un
der $1500 bail each, up to their trial
which was about two weeks ago, since
that time they have been under $2000

The National Farm Loan System
.Again. s
'Mr. Editor:
To . save time, expense and Unnec
essary work for the officials of the
federal banks and their secretary
treasurer, we wish to answer a few
questions which farmers are asking
every day.
"Is there anything to it?" This-is
what a farmer asked us over the
phone. We answer: These banks were
legally created as part of the bank
ing system of the United States, as
held by the U. S. supreme court. The
government believes in it to the ex
tent of having purchased $1,000,000
worth of our bonds and is authorized
by congress to take as many more."
Naturally there is something in it.
The system is functioning again, so
we are accepting applications for
loans. , -
Who are eligible for a loan from a
Federal Land bank?
The first requisite is that the ap
plicant be a person of good character.
No amouflt of security that he can of
fer carries any weight if he lacks
this. We do not buy farms for peo
ple to cut the timber off and give
them a chance to then'jsay: "Here is
your farm, take it." One fellow
wanted $8,000 for exactly this pur
pose. Another man said he hadn't a
cent to but into a farm, but there
wasn't much doing in the mill where
he was working and he wanted us to
purchase a farm for him.
Now, Uncle Sam and everybody
connected with the system down
through are kind and accommodat
ing; but not to tnis extent.
We loan 50 per cent, of the vajuc
of the land and 20 per cent, of th;
value of the buildings thereon. Wc
do not care to take risks on propert
in a poor location or where the title
and general conditions are not favor
able. . . .
A borrower from a Federal Land
bank has 35 years in which to pay his
mortgage. But may, after five years,
pay as rapidly as he wishes.
It costs a, small fee to place a loan,
look up titles, etc., and the borrower
pays this.
We are always glad to explain and
assist in placing a loan, but onlv un
der the rules prescribed by the Fed
eral Farm Loan Board of Washing
ton, D. C.,' to whom we are answer
able. Respectfully,
Albert R. Wak??rs?vr

Final plans . for the local canvass in
the churches of Orleans county for
the great Congregational Forward
movement are nearing completion and
the following, facts and figures tell
the aim and personnel of the cam
paign in a nutshell.
As an illustration of how red-blooded
business men look upon the move
ment it may be stated that a leading
business man of (North Troy, not a
church-member, when the aim of the
movement was explained to him said
he would give $100. This is the spirit
actuating many persons today who see
in the forward movement of the
churches the only hope of peace, pros-
, perity and happiness for the world
as well as the individual. Newport
will make its canvass Sunday but
most of the churches plan their can
vass Sunday, May 1.
