The chapel exercises were in charge of the ninth year although the time was given) over to the preparation of the cheers for Saturday's game. It was opened with a school yell led by Mudgett; two songs were sung by four of the freshmen girls; another yell and the setting up of each mem ber of the team was led by Bald win. A representative of each of the four upper classes gave a short talk on school spirit. The rest of the time was given over to the practice of the school yells. It was closed with two school songs sung by the school. J ' Last week in the Wednesday chapel Mr. Stevens announced Charlena Clough as valedictorian and Sylvia Jenness as salutatorian.

Mr. Wilbur is very much interested in the cause of edu cation in the state and the part that Ira Allen had in the early develop ment of education. The statue of Ira Allen at the University of Ver mont was presented to the university last June by Mr. Wilbur. The exer cises opened with a patriotic" song by the school; fun. Stevens then made a few remarks about the portrait and that as May 1st was Ira Allen's birth day and was also celebrated at - the University as Founder's da v. it was fitting that we have our exercises at the same time. The portrait was then unveiled by Roy Valley and Lisle Bean while Miss Whitcher played "America" very softly. Mr. Gilpin then gave a very interesting talk on the life and work of Ira Allen. He pointed out that Ira Allen was ' a man of vision, action, character and for tune. He showed how this portrait should be an inspiration to all and highly valued by the school. Miss Ida Whitcher gave a vocal solo after which the exercises closed by the singing of "America." The fourth grade has received in teresting letters and pictures from pupils of a Wisconsin school.

Big Chinese Smuggling Ring Broken Up An ordinary mud hole in the public highway in the town of Irasburg one day last week, brought more people to grief than any ever recorded. It landed seven smuggled chinamen, the big man in the business and eight other men connected, in Orleans County jail. Through James Ford, inspector in charge of the local im migration office, the wheels of law and government were set in motion that unearthed the greatest smuggling story ever brought to light along the Canadian border, and shows -the system of operation employed by the men behind the business. ImmiGration officers werevkept on the jump an aay - ..i Sunday rounding up the men connect ed with the business, which were scat tered all along the route from Man- sonvilie, f. H to iiarawicK. w nue nceJs were in Hardwick making ar- rests allQ sciZiiiig o, uniti uiuvis were waiting at St. Mary's church and escorted two of the morning worshipers to thev local jail. No grass was caught growing' under the feet of the immi gration officers as the entire sixteen were rounded up from Thursday af ternoon to Sunday night. The entire plot was revealed at the Thursday evening grilling by Inspect or Ford, when two of the men caught, after two hours , of questioning told the story that implicated several others. The story told of the busi- inn-Jness which they had been associated i in and also of three trips when china- men had been smuggled from Mont- treal to 'Boston, New York and Port land. The Friday s Express and Standard only referred to the trip of Thrusday when seven China men were caught, the remaining ac count being withheld to allow the officers an opportunity to complete their work. Thursday forenoon, O. W. Metcalf f t oK.i 1 4.uj iT1ftt far from v:s rA ay,n1,f Wfl I miles from Irasburg village, and latcj was called upon lor help.

The two rqthers did not seem inclined at first to tell the truth and various stories Were told but the continued grilling by inspector Ford at last brought hem to time and they told of their rip and part in the deal. Desire Bolduc, 23 years of age, was the first one examined. He claimed .i t t V 1 1 to have been born m Canada and ame to the United States two years ago, when they purchased the Hay en farm at Albany.
