OBSERVE FLAG. DAY.
Tomorrow, June 14, Should Be Object
. Lesson in Patriotism.
At the ninetieth national convention
of the ladies of the (J. A. R., it was
recommended that they support tho ef
forts ami co-operate with the t.rand
Army in tho whole .matter of. patriotic
education. It i'ouf earnest desire to
instill in the minds of tlie children what
the-civil war veterans have implanted
by acts. We cannot place too high an
estimate on the value of teaching patri
otism. It was recommended -that the
fourteenth day of June bo recognized
as "llag day," to be observed annually
in the display of the United States flag,
at their dwellings and places of busi
ness, to commemorate the birthday of
the flag on the date of its adoption by
Congress, June 1-1, 1777. Even boys and
giris, though , their influence may not
be great, may do something to show
their public (spirit. ' Let ws see to it
that we uphold its banner.
This question is asked: . "Why should
the flag of Buch a 'country be called
Old (Jlory'?" Because it "is twenty
three years older than the present flag
of Crcat Britain, seventeen years older
than the French trieolor, nearly one
hundred years older than the present flags
of (iermany and Italy and eight, years
older than, "the flag of Spain.: This (lag
representing a nation of eitrhty millions
of people stands for independence, dig-'t
niiy and power, " It has been stormed
with shot and shell and torn to tatters
in a. hundred battles, but has always
waved for freedom. It stands now for
a united people. It is beloved in every
section of our territory and when it
waves aloft it is all one to ua whether
the band plays "Yankee Doodle" or
Dixie." .

Caucus Held Yesterday Afternoon Dele
gates Not Instructed. .
' The Republicans of Woodbury, which
was perhaps the only town in the state
not to hold a Republican caucus on Sat
urday, June 9, met yesterduy afternoon
and elected IL F. Drennan and Joseph
Tebbets as delegates to both the state
and the district; convention, They -were
not instructed but are for Ctordon for
Congrcs, Proctor for governor and E. II.
Deavitt of Montpelior for state treas
urer. . The reason for the lateness of the
caucus was becauso the Republicans
thought that .inasmuch, as they hadn't
voted for the use of a check list their
caucus would not be governed by the
caucus law.
The Plainfield delegates in the dis
trict convention, although not instruct
ed are favorable to t'ordon for Congress.

CONTESTED
FbR PRIZES
Annual Speaking Contest of
Spaulding High
ATTENDED BY BIG CROWD
Mabel Ruth Gladding, First; Ellen Mar
tha Slayton, Second; Eva Ger
trude Smith, Third; Hugh H.
,( Carpenter, Fourth.
The thirteenth commencement t
Spaulding high school was opened last
evening with the e.nnual prize speaking
contest at the opera house. The audi
torium was crowded with friends of the
speakers and the school. Eight contest
ed for prizes, and the successful ones
were: first. Mtss Mabel Knth Gladumg;
second. Miss Ellen Martha Slayton;
third, M($ Eva Gertrude Smith; fourth,
Hugh Harrison Carpenter. , A ninth
speaker, Miss Marguerite Esther Brown,
was not competing for .prize..' as she
captured first last year.. ' '
Following prayer by the Rev, Wf. C,
Maclqtyro the first speaker, Morris Ben
jamin White, recited Sienkiewicz' "Res
cue of' Lygia", The young man's full,
strong voice easily filled the hall and
although the speaker was inclined to
hold his body in too close restraint, the
portrayal of the fight between the man
and the bull was followed closely and .
was very good.
Miss Gladys Fletcher took the popular
"Bobby iShaftoe" by Greene for her ef
fort, and her pleasing presence and easy
manner on the stage caused many to
mark her for a prize. A difficult selec-,
tion, Phelps' "As the Moon Rose", was
presented by Miss Catherine -Grigg. A
slight hoarseness prevented the speaker
from doing full justice to herself , and
made the control of her voice in a piece
which required perfect command some
what harder. Miss Grigg carried herself
with freedom from restraint.
A cello solo and an encore were given
by Lyle Perry and then the winner cf
the second prize, Fallen Martha Slayton,
recited the "Voice from a Far Couutry".
The .selection '"was '-well suited to Miss
Slayton, and the soft modulation of
her voice with only a few graceful ges
tures undoubtedly won recognition for
her. Miss Eva Gertrude Smith depend
ed largely upon a clear, firm voice to
Carry through her- rendering of Hope's
"The Deliverance of Princess Osra.". The
lcaker's clear-(articulation , was her
strongest point,' every word and syllable
being easily heard. Her reward was
third prize. ' '
Arthur Linly Averill showed himself '
to be perfectly at home on the platform
in his descriptive piece of the ''Breaking
of tlie Dam'' by White. His selection
was difficult to draw out the best effort
in the speaker, but Mr. Averill by a
vigorous presentation made a very good
impression on the audience. After an
other cello solo by Lyle Perry, Hugh
Harrion Carpenter recited the only
humorous selection -of the evening, it
being. entitled "Mr. Hawkins' Auto-aeio-mobile"
by Franklin. ;The voung man
was inclined tf hurry the lines at the
start but did away with that defect to
ward the end. The piece was one which
would appeal te an audience and the
efforts of the speaker brought out fre
quent laughter. , He was the winner of
the fourth prize, although, through an
oversight, tlie 'announcement was not
made last night, Mr. Mackay who made
the announcement for the judgesthouglit
there were only three prizes , to l
awarded.
The winner of first prixc, Miss Mabel
Ruth Gladding put more effort into her
rendering-of Field's "The. Wooing of
Miss Wopfut" than did any of the other
speaker. Her work showed the result
of careful training on her part, beityf
characterized by graifu! gestures ami
clear enunciation. The Inst speaker of .
the evening was Miss Marguerite Esther
Brown who. as stated above, was not,
competing for a jprize. Miss Brow n show ed
familiarity 1 with her work and wn
perfectly -natural on tho platform. Her
selection. "Whatthe Fiddle Told,"' w,i 1106
however, of the kind to give full opHi'
tunity for her known ability as a reader. -
The judges of the contest. J. W, Gui
don of Rarre and W. N. Theriault ami
F. B. Thomas of Montpelier then an
nounced through City Clerk Mackny the
results, of, their markings, as Mated
above.
