Canton Markets.

Offerings Of potatoes are rather free
IN Canton markets farmers who car
ried their crops till spring in the hopes
of higher prices now being anxious TO
unload. There are no changes in quo
tations and but little prospect Of any
advance except for seed potatoes later
in the season.
Farmers are beginning to look up n
supply of clover and timothy seed.
Within the next few weeks clover seed
will be sown on the last years wheat
stubbles. There is also some inquiry
for garden seeds of different kind.
The grain markets are just little
shaky at present quotations and there
is possibility Nith the return of war;
mer weather and a lessened demand for
grains and ground feed that oats and
corn may go lower. The winter wheat
shows such good condition that it is
all the dealers can do to keep prices
where they are. Produce prices in
local markets are unchanged.

A Successful Presentation.

The operetta "Laila" was presented in
st. Alovsius Hall Friday evening before
large and appreciative audience. and is
one of the prettiest operettas ever given
here, the music in some parts being bright
and catchy, in Others, pathetic and even
weird. The stage setting was very good.
Small trees and boughs, prettily arran-
ged gave the appearance of miniature
forest, especially in the second scene,
when amid gathering darkness, Laila is
discovered running here and there among
the trees, thoroughly frightened at being
lost on the mountain, while flashes of
lightning and peals of thunder denote
the approach of a storm. Miss Maud
Caldbeck as "Laila" acted and sang her
part admirably and won much well de-
served praise. Miss Lena Brown was
also very good and sang her dual role of
"Beggar Mother" and Fairy Queen" in
very effective manner. The other SOLO
lists, Mrs. A. w. Mutty, Miss Welfoot
and Miss Hoye sung their parts very
well, while the Mountain Children and
Fairies especially were particularly
pleasing and won much praise, not only
Tor themselves but for Miss Dugan, who
directed the music, and Mrs. Mutty, who
took charge of the action throughout
the piece. Miss Ryan was accompanist
assisted by Miss Glynn.
Following the operetta the doors O
the dining room were thrown open, dis
closing the tables prettily arranged ant
decorated with ferns and wild flowers
where the ladies served ice cream. CAKE
and Strawberries, and the rapdity with
which the tables filled testified to the
skill of the ladies of the parish in serving
refreshments. The combined efforts Of
the ladies' committee with the financial
results of the operetta amounted to
l nearly $40 and the affair was voted G
! success in every way.

Scales for Australia.

the factory last week eight locomotive
scales ordered through the London house
for the Western Australian government.
These are double scales and will be used
to weigh the big wheels Of locomotives
before they leave the factory. Similar
scales have been constantly used in the
Baldwin Locomotive Works at Phila-
delphia where there is daily output of
six locomotives every working day in
the year. The scales left St. Johnsbury

all rail to New York in the remarkably
short time of less than 80 hours. They

A Model Fire Escape.

The Odd Fellows Temple Association
have recently equipped their block on
Railroad street with fire escape and it
is now possible to make a rapid exit
from the hall in the third story in case
of an emergency. The structure was
designed by ]. c. Jones Of Lyndonville,
built by the Yale Safe & Iron Company
OF New Haven, Conn, and put up by H.
A. Butterfeld of Lyndonville. It is
simply iron stairways leading from the
two windows on the upper story to the
roof below. From there the ground can
easily be reached by series of steps.
The two stairways are securely fastened
into the 1S-inch brick wall and the most
desirable feature of the affair is that the
iron steps are as easy to climb as pair
of stairs and do not give one that dizzy
feeling so often experienced in descending
the fairy like structures in the cities. 1t
would be an excellent idea if more of
our business blocks were equipped with
the same structure.

to the vital statistics ranks as the second
healthiest city in the United States. Its
enterprising mayor, Hon. ]. ]. Williams,
has inaugurated great municipal i'm.
provements and as a result the city's
system OF streets, parks, sewers, etc.
are heing rapidly developed and eventu
ally Memphis will be the largest city in
the South. DR.. Browne found the people
most cordial and tremendously interested
in the city's growth and development.

"As the score indicates there was some
very loose ball playing, only one two

in the game, most of the runs being made
on costly errors and wild throws. Only
six hits are credited to the seminary boys
and FIVE to the academy. Both teams

by the St. Johnsbury boys, being poor

for. Huntington pitched the first five

to have a good deal of speed. He struck
out seven men and allowed five to walk.
Parker pitched the last four innings and
in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings
struck out seven men in succession. He
gave two bases on balls. Schoppe
pitched three innings for the visitors,
striking out one and allowing two to
walk. He was replaced by Smythe,
their regular pitcher, in the fourth, who
struck out six men and gave six bases
on balls. The game had no particular
features although Miner batted strong
