Summer Pleasures without Summer
Discomforts! Indoors it's sticky and
moist. On the porch it's cool
when the Vudors are down.
Why not eat, sleep, live there this summer?
Thousands do it. The cool air gives appetite and
forces you to dreamless sleep because it bathes the
nerves wAi'o you sleep. It cure them.
Vudor Porch Shades cost little. They give air but
keep out glare. You can look out through Vudors,
but not in through them. They last they keep
"that new look," for they're stained, not painted, nor
dipped.

Around 100 friends and relatives of
Miss Louise Boulriee gathered at the

Dancing was the principal diversion of

The guest of honor received a gold-piece

eon was served at intermission.
The funeral of Mrs. Esther Ruel, who
died suddenly on Sunday at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. John Buley at Mont

tine's church, where mass was officiated

connected with the church. The inter
ment was made in the Catholic cemetery
at Montpelier. The bearers were: Peter
Dewey, George White, George Dumas,
Wilfred Pine, Mr. Moss and Mr. Jerue.
Many Barre people attended the fun-
ral.
The usual weekly open-air concert by
the Citizens' band will be omitted this
evening on account of the presentation
of "The Price," by the Newman Dramatic
club in the opera' house. Next week mu
sic lovers will be compelled again to
forego the pleasure of outdoor music, as
there is an unwritten rule which inhibits
the band from giving concerts during
commencement week. So the next con
cert will not be heard until week after
next. Meanwhile the musicians are re
hearsing assiduously for the series of 13
remaining concerts to be held on each
Wednesday evening during the summer
months.
Next Saturday the city council and
the mayor plan to make a trip to Bur
lington for the purpose of inspecting the
Queen city's garbage collection system.
The trip is a part of the investigation
which the city fathers are conducting
preparatory to providing some meaus of
removing refuse and rubhisli in tnis city
along systematic lines. For three years
now the matter lias been uiseussen by as
many councils. At various times feas
ible 'plans for solving the garbage prob
lem have come out in the light, but for
one reason or another a definite working
program for the removal of garbage ac
cumulations on every street has never
been obtained. The recent clean-up cam
paign awoke a desire on the part of the
council to preserve the cleanly appear-
once into which the city emerged after
"pick-up" day. It has been predicted
that the end of another year will see an
efficient collection system in operation.
An all-pervading gloom settled down
over one section of North Main street
round suppertime last night when
"Sic-O," the big brindle bulldog that has
made his headquarters at the Co-operative
store on Granite street for so many
years, learned what happens to a dog
when he gets in the way of an automo
bile. Although muzzled to the ears,
"Sic-O" was having a friendly bout with
a houn'dog in the middle of the street
at Depot square, but frequent changes in
the methods of attack pursued by the
two presently shifted the scene to the
flagging in front of the Miles block. It
was when the brindle drew back to re
connoitre the position of the enemy that
Dr. W. E. Lazell's runabout came along
and nipped the belligerent bulldog on one
of his rear legs. ".Sic-O" set up such a
deafening veil that pedestrians, moved
to sympathy, took account of his in
juries. One broken leg was enough to
convince the most sanguine that the
dog's days were about to be ended. Lat
er a policeman was called to put the
animal out of his misery.
Horsemen and lovers of the racing
game in Barre will be interested to learn
that the Dog River Valley Fair associa
tion has secured the services of the vet
eran, Frank Muzzy, of Pittsfield, N. II.,
to act as starter for the trotting events
at Northtield fair, September 8. ! and 10.
It will be recalled that Mr. Muzzy was
in Barre to start the last races that were
run over the Granite City trotting course
off Avers street. Yearly his services are
sought by fair associations all over New
England. At a recent meeting of the
Dog River directors, it was decided to
feature an aviator from the Wright
Aeroplane company, who ia to make
three flights daily. The fair is to be
the 4'2nd annual exhibition of . the as
sociation and early plans are already
takimr shaoe. A number of Barre men
are interested in the association this
year.
