Although Robert Johnson, a member of
the regular fire department, is a qualihed
operator, the fire station cannot claim
the honor of having the only Itarre wire
lew operator in its ranks. There are
several amateur tatiousin the city and
there are a number of young men who
have schooled themselves sutliciently to
send and take messages through the air.
Edmund Milne of Spaulding street, Wil
liam Adams of Maple avenue, Harold
Fitta of Park street, George Gove of
Eastern avenue and Eldon Ball of Hill
street are among those who possess more
than the ordinary knowledge of the wire
less and have erected stations. Just be
fore he left town for New Haven, Conn.,
George Wallstrom dismounted his outfit
on Essex stre-t, but his partner, Edward
Jackson, is an operator.
First steps toward organizing a home
guard were taken at a meeting of Spanish-American
war veterans lt evening,
when the boys of 'IW were entertained by
Dr. Joe W. Jackson at their old meeting
place on South Main street. Any ar
rangements maile at the meeting wre
merely tentative, as more aggressive
steps "may be taken at a second confer
ence of the veterans to be held in the
near future, possibly next week. The
feeling prevailed that the member of old
Co. E ma v do a great deal of work lo
cally if the nation goes to war, and it
goes without saying that every man
stands ready to 'lend a helping hand
wherever it will have effective results.
A committee was delegated to the task
of ascertaining how many rifles of mod
ern make can be mustered in Bairc. An
other function of the veterans, it is ex
pected, will be to foter rcTiiiting w hen
ever poeaible. In Brattleboro a strong
home guard is being formed and it is
thought that an excellent working or
ganization may be eMtIihxl in Itarre.
The serious buines of preparing for
eventualities did not on:iipy all of the
time, as Dr. Jackson provided the vet
erans a substantial buffet lumheon bo-
fore the meeting was adjourned. j

Dan A. Perry of the Montpelier road
returned to the city this morning after
conducting the auction sale at the H. J.
Stearns place in Ludlow yesterday. The
auction was one of the largest of its
kind held in Vermont in a long time and
proved to be a magnet in drawing the
bi2 cattlemen from all over the state. In
all there were about 80 head of cattle
for sale, consisting of grades and reg
istered Holeteins. The registered cattle
brought very satisfactory prices and
averaged the "best of any which have been

$330, while the herd of registered cattle
averaged $242.50 a head. Registered
calves brought $100 and over, while 20

AWARDS FOR
SCHOLARSHIP
(Continued from first page)
a grave acknowledgement. While they
were not on the stage, the children were
in charge of the girls of the teacher train
ing class and the grade teachers, who
worked faithfully for the success of the
entertainment.
The boys and girls were costumed in
the garb of various nations, with the
"dancing bears" having their distinctive
covering, too. It would be hard to sin
gle out any particular group of the young
performers, so well did they M do.
Sixth grade children, in Trish eoHtume,
gave a St. Patrick's day dance that was
most intricate, as was the mountain
polka given by the fifth grade, represent
ing Sweden. Clumping oir the stage in
their wooden shoes came the little men
and little women from Holland in an
excellent portrayal. Next the mincing
steppers from Japan gave their bewild
ering dance, with a song meantime. The
rollicking "dancing bears" made a bit in
their costumeg of white and their vigor
ous kicking, while the little Quakers
and Quakeresses discreetly showed how
they wanted to go to London town. The
folk dances were more intricate, as a
rule, than last year, but they were so
well executed that the audience was
scarcely aware of the greater demands
made on the attention of the youngsters
who themselves entered into the enter
tainment with great zest.
At the close of the entertainment four
little men from a many nationalities
marched on the stage tugging an Amer
ican flag, and the audience followed the
chorus in singing "America," making a
fitting close to an excellent entertainment.
