The Store Where Quality Counts
Dove Undermuslins
Are a True Economy
They Look Well and Wear Well
Aside from their beauty, it is true economy to
buy our "Dove" Undermuslins, because they are
so carefully made and of such good materials that
they wear exceptionally well. You will find the
prices surprisingly reasonable.
Every open arm-hole in a "Dove" garment hasvan
extra shield sewn in as a reinforcement a fea
ture which insures much longer wear.
We offer this splendid assortment of new "Dove"
styles with the confidence that our customers will
find in them the daintiest and most serviceable of
Undermuslins.

Another Sugar Saver.
"Several years ago we received a small
sample package of sugar-beet seeds,"
writes a subscriber in the August Worn
man's Home Companion. "We had a
little extra space in our garden, so we
planted it. About harvest time I ris
ked a sugar beet factory and what I saw
gave me the following idea, which proved
so successful in caving sugar that we
have always raised a few sugar beets.
Wash and scrub every particle of dirt
from the beet, cut in small pieces and
fill dishpan or very large kettle. Cover
with cold water, and boil until beets
are very soft. Strain into another pan
and cook eymp down until the desired
consistency is obtained, being careful to
Bkim all impurities from the yrup as it
boils. Add a few drops of mapleine to
give color and- flavor of maple sugar.
Cool and bottle. This last fall we made
several gallons of syrup at practically
no cost.

Don't forget to send in your savings
account books for verification betfore
Aug. I. A large number have already
complied with the law and sent them
in, but there are many more to be veri
fied before Aug. 1.
All the women of the citv are invited
to hand in tried recipes which are to be
printed under the direction of the Wom
an's Auxiliary to the food administra
tion. The recipes must be handed to Mrs.
Arthur MacXeil before Aug. 6.
John McLean of Montpelier began to
day a two week's vacation from his du
ties in the Union Clothing store. When
he is not devoting his time to a large
war garden near his home in the capital,
Mr. McLean expects to be angling in
Groton pond.
A letter received in Barre from Wil
liam Taylor, who went with the Barre
contingent to Springfield, Mass., for me
chanical training, states that all of the
home boys are in high spirits and enjoy
ing excellent health. Intensive training
of the mechanics is already under way.
Scandinavian orders and other people
of Scandinavian descent held an enjoy
able picnic at Dewey park Saturday aft
ernoon, .nearly 150 people being in at
tendance. ' There was a series of games
for the youngsters and dancing for the
older people. Refreshments were served,
in the park pavilion and because of the
excessive heat the outing did not end
until well into the evening.
Funeral services for Frederick C. Brink,
whose death occurred Friday afternoon,
were held in B. W. Hooker 4 Co.'s mor
tuary chapel Sunday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock. The officiating clergyman was
Rev. F. L. Goodspeed, pastor of the Barre
Congregational church. Members of the
lumpers, boxers and derrickmen's union
and the Sons of Veterans, with which
organization the deceased was affiliated,
attended the funeral. Interment was
made in Hope cemetery.
Over the week end heavy thunder
showers were central over this vicinity,
although none of them visited the limit
of their fury on Barre and the rainfall
which came at infrequent intervals
served but poorly to temper the ex
treme heat. Kxpected relief did not
materialize, as the seemingly-one-track
weather man did not order the promised
falling of the mercury. Thermometer
readings to-day did not indicate that the
hot wave had spent its force. Many
granitecutters quit work in mid-forenoon
and at noon there was nothing in the
air to encourage them to resume their
labors. The mercury mounted to 92 and
94 in the shade. Showers hava beeu
promised for Tuesday.
America's participation in retrospect
and present aspects of the world war
were discussed by Mason 8. Stone of
Montpelier, formerly state superintend
ent of education, at the union services in
City park Sunday evening. Rev. F. L.
Goodnpeed conducted the services and
music was furnished by a choir chosen
from musicians who sing in the churches
about the park. Because of the heat
the attendance was slightly below the
average. Mr. Stone contrasted with
present-day sentiment among the en
tente allies the opinions which prevailed
a few years ago with reference to the
United States. In years agone, he said,
Europe looked upon the growing nation
overseas as a people much addicted to
money grabbing. Latterly America's
whole-souled devotion to the cause of de
mocracy and the unity shown by its
people in determining to perpetuate free
government have caused Europe to real
ize that this nation is striving to at'tain
high ideals.
Two of our most baneful luxuries are
on the aeroplane again. Retail licensees
have jumped the price of bottled beer
one more, this time to $2.50 per case.
But the hardest blow is reserved for the
smoker. Popular brands of cigars that
'used to sell at three for a quarter and
then went to 10 cents straight are to
bear a 12-cent tag, while there is a pain
ful probability that the commercial five
center will cost seven and eight cents.
One of the heaviest sellers among the
cigarettes brings 16 cents at certain
stores. And right on the heels of these
sad tidings comes the information that
when present slocks are exhausted, the
supply of retail tobacco will be very
slim, ' indeed. Local tobacco dealers,
wholesalers and retailers, predict that
tobacco will be rationed on the card sys
tem within a few months. As for beer,
its dispensers feel that even a card won't
count by Christmas.
TALK OF THE TOWN
Miss Elizabeth Barber has been pass
ing several days with her aunt, Mrs.
Royal Moxley, in Hardwick.
Mr. and Mrs. George O. Gridley have
returned to their home in Windsor, after
passing a few days at Hotel Barre.

a two weeks vacation, which she spent
in Boston and New Britain, Conn., and
has resumed her duties at Presbrey
Coykendall's. Frank Miano, formerly employed as a
barber in Miers' down-town shop, has
been honorably discharged from the me
chanics' camp at Burlington because of
physical disability. After visiting his
brother in New ork City, Mr. Miano
will seek to enlist in another department
of service.
MONTPELIER
Young Man of Determination Gets Into
the Service.
Isaac Phillips of Peacham hag been
enlisted at the army- recruiting office
here. Hii case has interested many be
cause of the determination he has dis
played to get info service. He was born
in Cabot some 18 years ago. There are
no records in the town clerk's office or
secretary of state's office and the physi
cian who cared for him, if there was one,
has moved away. The army regulation
set forth that a birth certificate must be
provided. Phillips' parents died when he
was an infant. For 11 vears the town
cared for him, then he shifted for him
self until four yearg ago, when he went
to Fred I. Powers' in Peacham to live.
Every way seemed to be blocked until
Mr, Powers obtained information rela
tive to his birth and then wag appointed
the guardian, certifying to the birth
within a few days of its actuality at
least and the young man has enlisted in
the infantry. Clifford E. Gushea of Wil
liamstown hag also enlisted through the
same office.
Judge Frank Martin held a probate
hearing in Waterbury Saturday after
noon which resulted in Maude Jacques of
that town being committed to the state
hospital at the state's expense. E. 11.
Deavitt, as administrator of the estate
of J. F. Severance of Northfield, has ap
pealed from the allowance of the claim
of Ann Riley against the estate. The
claim amounts to $1,264 for service dur
ing the last illness of the deceased, which
the commissioners allowed. R. A. Hoar
for Christian Scott had filed an appeal in
the estate of Mary Edward of Barre
against the court allowing the will of the
deceased to be approved.
While Larry MeMahon, Dr. Boucher
and Frank Hall were in Moretown one
evening last week their automobile went
off an embankment, with the result that
the machine was' tipped on one side. The
men were thrown out but, like the ma
chine, escaped injury or damage. After
the machine was drawn into the highway
by a team, it was found it could be used
to bring the men home.
Miss Florence Titchout of the local
telephone office is in Boston.
Gov. n. F. Graham ' has received an
other telegTam relative to the releases
for men in class 1, which draws the lines
closer than the telegram received last
week relative to releases for the navy,
marines or emergency fleet. Further in
formation relative to the number of men
who will be drafted from Vermont in
August indicates that one big call will
be made and that several small ones will
take place, so that the local boards are
advised to get their work in shape to
provide the quota upon the basis of 1,000
men from the state. The men will be
called upon the number of men in class 1
instead of population, as they have been
done heretofore.
James P. Taylor of Burlington was ap
pointed this morning by J. B. Densmore
of Washington, D. C., the third member
of the state board of organization rela
tive to the U. S. employment service. Mr.
Taylor was in conference this morning
with R. W. Simonds of this city rela
tive to the organization of the state
advisory board of the same organization.
This work has been somewhat delayed,
but will be ready for the campaign Aug.
1, most of the examiners connected with
the service having already been-appointed.
Publicity given last week relative to
Marshall Dennis being the only man who
was a delinquent in the registered men
of June 5 developed a report upon the
young man which was made by his
mother Saturday afternoon. It appears
that Mr. Dennis is in Heaton hospital for
care and treatment and that his family
had not taken care of his questionnaire;
but the report received by the local
board cleared up the situation, so that
now Washington county joins Windham
county in not having a single delinquent
registered in the last registration.
Washington county fills three calls this
week, two of which will be credited to
August. They are Henry Tossit of Mid
dlesex, who goes to Camp Devens as a
part of those called from the colored
men's class, while Robert Hawkins, who
is now chef for the mechanical training
class in Burlington, has been given a de
ferred position until the end of the
school. He was the other .colored man
to go to Camp Devens this week from
this county. Harlie Ladue, who has
signed self-induction as a painter, leaves
Wednesday for Kelly Field as one of the
five painters called in the state. Four
men leave Tupsday for Syracuse, X. Y.
They are Arthur Adams and Bernard
MeGuire of Montpelier, Guy K. George
of Barre and Dean Hall of Worcester.
George Bruno appeared in city court
Saturday and was given a sentence by
Judge E. M. Harvey of three months in
the county jail, which was suspended,
and he was placed on probation until
further order of the court. Bruno was
also fined $10 and costs, which he paid.
This is the second time that Bruno has
been penalized for breach of peace. The
two occasions taking place between six
days of each other, and on each occasion

Peter Rekela wai the man with whom
Bruno had trouble.
The wiremen of the fire department
spent the mot of Sunday morning re
pairing the wires in the conduit under
Main street, which leads from the main
cable to the battery room of the ys
tem in city hall. One circuit seemed to
have been cut by the heaving of the con
duit last winter end it had not been re
paired. An extra pair of wires for
emergency use were also pulled into the
cable at the time of the r-pairs Sun
day. All otter pairs of wires were re
newed. There is quite a little agitation for
the employment of a tree warden in
Montpelier". Some of the citizens be
lieve that the city council should appoint
a man who would have power to pre
vent trees being damaged by linemen and
others whenever it seems advisable to
improve the conditions for the compa
nies by which they are employed. This
is generally done without regard to the
beauty of the tree. It is also claimed
that many low hanging branches would
be removed and the trees better kept if
there was a warden to look after them.
A Ford car driven by Wallace Goodwin
and a Ford runabout belonging to a man
named Lombard collided head-on on up
per Main street yesterday afternoon. No
one was injured but the front ends of
both cars were somewhat smashed.

which forbid the establishment of pri
