A number of Barre people were in
Montpelier last evening to attend a Hal
loween party given at Montpelier sem
inary by those of the students and mem
bers of the faculty who remained at the
institution during the quarantine. The
parlors were attractively decorated and
most of the participants in the jollifica

planned an enjoyable program of games,
which terminated happily. Afterward re
freshments were served.

Cobble Hill creamery, which in years
past, received the output of some of
the best dairies in this section of Wash
ington county, went under the hammer
yesterday, afternoon when it was
knocked down by John Trow for the sum
of $1,050. The sale carried with it an acre
of land. There is no immediate pros
pect that the creamery will reopen, al
though it is understood that Mr. Trow
plans to hold it for investment purposes
and in all probability the manufacture
of butter will be resumed in the plant
after the war. O. H. Hale acted as auc
tioneer and after the sale of the cream
ery, numerous pieces of personal proper
ty were sold. There was present a size
able crowd of bidders, including a num
ber of people from this city. Excellent
price obtained.
City schools will be reopened Monday
and preparations are being made to con
vene classes at Goddard seminary Tues
day, yet neither the Bchool commission
nor the seminary trustees have decided
just how the time lost during the epi
demic shall be made up. The city schools
were closed for more than five weeks and
to complete the work required of the stu
dents, especially in the high school, ar
rangements must be made for making up
the loss. In a letter to the. superintend
ents, Commissioner II. B. Iiillcgas of the
state department of education refers to
the question of lost time as follows: "In
different communities various devices,
such as holding school on Saturdays and
shortening or omitting some of the long
er vacations will doubtless bo employed.
Whether these or similar means should
be employed depends entirely upon the
sentiment in the community. 1 believe
that in general people do not favor the
continuance of school through June be
cause the children who are able to assist
in the homes are so urgently needed.
A strange young man of the boat-rock
er type, his presence readily and unmis
takably proclaimed by a noisy necktie,
and the amusing antics of a cow were
the human and bovine performers in a
short sketch which attracted the atten
tion of pedestrians on North Main street
this forenoon. Whatever the fellow
lacked in equilibrium, having evidently
repaired at once to the nearest bird store
upon his arrival in town, he made up the
deficiency by possessing much neckwear
and a good deal of confidence. It was
near the vacant lot to the south of the
Scampini building and when a native of
the "our townsman" stamp glimpsed the
visitor he was conversing in friendly
tones with one of Mrs. C. E. Bolster's
maple trees. Hard by in the grassy plot
a cow browsed on the tender shoots that
always falsely proclaim spring about this
time of the year. The leash which held
the cow in bounds offered just the oppor
tunity for overtures and in an unguarded
moment the conversationalist at the tree
laid himself open to a neighborly lick
from the bovine tongue. Spectators saw
the last of the little pastoral scene when
the youngster whirled sharply about,
whipped off his green felt hat and bowed
on the whole quite ceremoniously to his
new acquaintance. Then he bashfully
beat it.

Barre bankers have met and agreed to
a new schedule of closing time for the
four banking institutions in the city.
Hereafter every bank will close at noon
Saturday throughout the year. Hitherto
the early closing hour Saturday prevailed
only in the spring, summer and fall
months. The agreement' also provides
that every bank shall be open from 7 till
8 o'clock on Monday evenings. The
changes are to take eltect at once.
With the removal of the quarantine
measures which have been in force for
the past month, the different fraternal
organizations in the city plan to resume
their normal activities next week. In
nearly every instance, the secretary or
treasurer has transacted the urgent busi
ness of each lodge and circle and of ne
cessity more important matters have
been allowed to remain on the table.
Men and women who are active in the
fraternal societies say that their lodge!
will not attempt to hold-any scries of
festivities such as have marked their
winter calendars in years before the war,
and even though the war should end, it
is not probable that the need for food
conservation will have been sufficiently
overcome to permit a resumption of so
cial affairs on a large scale.
MONTPELIER
Louis Aja was brought before Commis
sioner II. C. Shurtleff this morning again.
This time the charge against him by the
federal government was changed to that
of falsifying in his oath in making his
questionnaire, which took place in New
i ope, so prosecution will be made in
the district court of the government in
New York. Aja was placed under $2000
bail and committed to the county jail
shortly before noon in want of bail.
Three conditions are open, prosecution
here for not registering, the onu pend
ing and one in which action was taken
this morning and to allow the man to go
into the service after making a question
naire. The secret service department of
the federal government has been inves
tigating the matter.

Evening Drawing School Now Co-educa
tional.
Keenus many vacancies have been
caused by men called to serve their coun
try, young women are asked to fill their
places in a growing number or instances.
For this reason the school board decided
to create the opportunity for them to
take up studies which will fit them fur
service in offices where draftsmen and
designers are needed. It is hoped that
many who in the past have asked for
this chance will now enroll as students
of the school.
As mentioned in a previous announce
ment (Sept. 25), the detail studies are
of great value not only to workers who
are employed or those who later expect
to find employment in the granite in
dustry. In taking up these studies the
foundation is being laid to knowledge
required in a great number of varying
industrial enterprises, where free-hand
i-ketching, scale drawing and understand
ing of working drawing, also plan read
imr, are essential.
The fees remain as they have been
and are payable in advance. They vary
from 50 cents to $2.50 per month ac
cording to positions held by those who
enroll and either elementary or advanced
studies selected. Each student is en
titled to four hours per week in sessions
on two alternate evenings, either Tues
days and Thursdays or Wednesdays and
Fridays, from 6:30 until 8:30 p. m,
Monday, Nov. 4, is registration even
ing and Tuesday, Nov. 5, sessions will
begin. Rebates of practically one-third
of the fees paid may be given at the end
of the school term to resident students
who enrolled early, paid promptly, at
tended regularly at least four-fifths of
the given time and otherwise lived up
to the rules of the school.
Briefly mentioned, the subjects taught
are: Studies leading up to reading and
making of shop drawings, scale drawings
and plans; lettering; ornament study
on paper and in clay; model -making and,
finally, composing or designing.
Drawing materials and instruments
are to be bought by the students. A few
can be hsd at the school at cost prices.
Detailed information as to advisable
course, etc., will be given at the evening
drawing school rooms, Mathewson school,
corner of Elm and Jefferson streets.
Early registration is desired.
