CHILDREN'S DAY

Children's Day was observed on
Sunday afternoon and evening at
Bethany, Trinity and the Baptist
churches after the usual custom by
concerts by members of the Sunday
school, of which the features are reci-
tations, songs and choruses by the
children. At all the churches floral
decorations, to greater or less ex-
tent, formed an important part of the
event.
At Bethany church, Rev. L. f.
Reed, the pastor, preached practical
sermon to the children in the morn
ing At half past four o clock in the
afternoon, the concert exercises were
held. Mrs. D. S. Wheatley, Miss
Stella Crandall and Miss Mamie Fiske
had performd their work of training
the children so well that it must have
caused H. S. Cotton, the superintend-
ent of the Sunday school, to feel great
pride in his school. The special feat
ure was Miss Fiske's juvenile class of
about forty members.
The exercises at Trinity church
were held at seven O'Clock in the
evening and were given under the
supervision of Bruce Mcdonald, su-
perintendent of the Sunday school.
Every member of the school, whether
appearing in recitation, solo or chorus
work acquitted himself creditably and
showed that the efforts of Mrs. f.
A. Sherburne, Mrs. NJ L. Beardsley
and Fred Keegan, who had charge of
the work of training the children had
not been in vain.
The exercises at the Baptist church
were held at six O'Clock in the even
ing and were given under the general
title OF when the roses bloom" con-
sisting of recitations and special mu.
sic. The exercises were conducted by
Carl Walbridge, the superintendent
of the school. Rev. Guy @. Lamson,
the pastor, gave the children two
minute heart to heart talk on the
folly of wobbling'' along the high
way of life. Mrs Guy G. Lamson,
Mrs. F. j, Robar and Mrs. E. f. Lee
land had charge of training the chill
dren and the fruits of their labl RS
were apparent in the excellence of the
concert.

Letter to DR.. Horace L. Watson.
Montpelier, Vt.

Dear Sir: You know chemistry. Lead
and zinc is better paint than lead alone
or zinc alone. Lead chalks off; zinc peels
off Lead and zinc stay on, if properly
ground.
Devoe lead and zinc is the paint. 1t is
ground fine and thoroughly mixed, A
painter ought never to mix lead and zinc
it wants grinding: mixing isn't enough
A streak of lead and streak of zinc IS
not lead and zinc.
The object in grinding Devoe is to grind
the lead into the zinc and the zinc into the
lead, which painter can't do, with a
stick in tub.
And yet lead and oil will wear longer
with 20 or 80 per cent of zinc mixed in
with it, even as painters do it.
But Devoe has lead ground in with zinc
The lead is fine enough; so is the zinc.
The grinding is to grind the two into one
And the grinding costs little or nothing
done by machinery,
Yours truly,
SO F. w. DEvoE & Co.
Abbott & Bailey sell our paint.

EXCITING BALL GAME

The Montpelier Seminary ball team
met the enemy, the Goddards, on the
campus on Monday afternoon and they
were theirs.
1t was the best day, the best crowd
and the best game of the season
Over 1000 people witnessed the game,
the local contingent being augmented
by others from Barre, Plainfield and
Waterbury. The gate receipts amount
ed to $53.
The two teams are old time enemies
In sporting events and they now stand
tied. as the home team defeated the
visitors by score of to 2.
This is the first time the Montpelier
Seminary team has won game from
the Goddards since 1897 and there is
some doubt expressed about being able
to induce the Goddards to play off
the tie on neutral grounds such as at
Burlington for the home team will
refuse to play it on the Barre grounds
The Goddards led off with one score
i'll the first inning, then followed a
nest of goose eggs for both teams up
to the fourth inning when each secur-
ed run. In the fifth, the home team
forged ahead with four runs, follow
ing in the seventh and eighth with
one run and in the total giving the
Goddards goose egg in seven out of
the nine innings.
The Barre contingent hooted and
howled like Indians up to the fifth
inning after which it was as quiet as
the grave. At the close of the game,
the Barreites left the field a woe be-
gone and crestfallen crowd. On the
contrary, the home contingent was
exultant. A procession of the Sem
mary students of both sexes formed
and marched cheering about the cam
pus.
In the evening the students marched
down town and paraded the streets to
the music of drums, bugles and in
fact everything they could lay their
hands upon which would make a
noise. The finish was bonfire on
the campus.
Both teams are to be congratulated
upon the clean, snappy game they put
up, each showing they were ball play.
