reputation into Vermont is reported that campaign fund of
huge proportions will be subscribed Every device OF ado po-
cal pulling will be used and always, above all and everything

1t is very probable that rooms will
be built beneath the north, end of the

improvement to the grounds, as was
appreciated during the football sea-
son.
The promulgators of the Red River
Valley league are very confident not
only of the maintenance of the league
but that it will pay as financial in
vestment, especially in this city, and
are prepared to push the development
of good accommodations to the limit.
The sentiment in favor of the league
is growing daily throughout the coun-
try and the formation of the league is
almost assured. The local fans are
strictly behind the movement and
plans are being laid to secure the at
tendance of representatives through
out the valley on a conference in this
city the 26th for the purpose of deter
mining what rules the organization
will play under and make preliminary
moves for the making of a schedule
which will include from three to one
games in every town of the league as
they are respectively capacftated.-

Auto Notes.
Barney Oldfeld and his Green Drag
on are again performing stunts.
Last year, after the accidents to Kis-
er, Jay and himself, Barney said he
was through with the racing game.
But the speed mania has conquered,
and Oldfield is risking his neck as of
yore.
Barney is not the only one who will
swing around the automobile circuit
this summer. There will be plenty
of others.
Tom Cooper will be in the game
So will Paul Albert, Chevrolet, Dan
Wurgis, Lancia, Cedrino and host Of
others.
Even Earl Kiser and Webb Jay have
the fever again, notwithstanding they
have hardly recovered from the terri
BILE injuries received last season.
No effort has been made to change
the rules governing track racing. The
drivers are content to face the dan
gers they braved last year.
Barney Oldfield made few sugges-
lions last fall, but recently he said he
did not care to Sc them carried out.
Two things can be done to reduce
the risks. The turns can be banked
higher, and the tracks sprinkled with q
preparation to keep the dust down.

kicked up by the machines in their
mad flight this condition must obtain.
Even the most skillful are helpless
when the dust hides the track and
competitors from view. 1t takes a
nerve of steel to steer by memory a
machine that is annihilating space at
a 6O-mile-an -honr rate
There is only one way in which you
may know that there is no want ad. in
today's paper which vitality interests

your knowledge Of your city and it's

Have We oyer stopped to think how our ancestors two or three generations back lived and tiourished with little or no ventilation in their sleeping apart ments? Tho night air used to be con sidered very dreadful menace to health and sjIrc inlucer of colds. Bedrooms were kept closely shut, and yet our ancestors. many of them were hardier than we and lived to good O ages. Animals hurroW in. their holes at night, breathing the same air over and over again, while birds and fowls tuck their heads under their wings. Of course ventilation iS absolutely neces sary for proper comfort, cleanliness and health, but people have lived OH little or none of 1t for hundreds and thousands of years.

ODD MARRIAGE CUSTOM.
Torches as Wedding Certificates on

Torches Wedding Certificates on
 the Island of Jersey.
 Among Jerseymen proper-that is to say, among the descendants of the orig inal inha abitants of the island and not the English or French residents there a very curious and Interesting old mar rage custom exists.
 Upon the completion of the ceremony and. if in strict accordance with traai- ton. before the happy couple take up residence in their new abo!e the stone slab at the top of thH porch containing the front door is nScri'ed with the ll- itialS of tn" bridegroom, those of the bride. the date of the ceremony and two hearts intwined. the latter being an emblem of their inte"minged love and the whole forming d most lasting and public certificate of marriage.
 Occasionally. however, a little diff culty arises The bride may meet with an early death. and in the course Of time the widower may desire to re- enter the holy state of matrmony. Having fulfilled lis desire, it appears fALuer puAzllHS to hHoW Wndt lo uo about the inscription.
 In some cases, therefore, the initials and date of the first wedding have been erased and those of the subse- quent ceremony substituted, while in others the initials of the second wife and the date have been added below the first. second pair of ntwined hearts being thought unnecessary The letters are usually from six to nine inches in height so that they may be easily read across the road--London Mail

MAGIC AND RELIGION.
Their Parting Due to the Advance of
 liyIlizutiOn.

In west Africa the belief in new birth without loss of identity is proved by th. fact that when q baby arrives in family it is shown selection of small articles belonging to deceased
 members, and the thing which the child catches Lod of identifies him as Uncle John" or Cousin Emma and s) forth So far as this belief prevails 1t is held by some that garments once worn pr other objects which have been ill intimate contact with Il human be ing are penetrated by his personality and remain as 1t We're, united with him for e0ol or i'll.
 In nearly all stages of civilization now to be found in the world what wa call supernatural beings were concern ed with the initiation of the magician. The scitisnl between magic and reli zion Was | later development of civ iiiz1tioa When it occurred, as tho history of heresy In Europe and the witch trials teach, it was rather magic in its antisocial aspect than in itself. which was reprobated and punished. It is strange in this connection to 10 tice that the magician was only eon- demned when he departed from estab- liShcd custom and established beliefs which involved q severance from the community and an ilnputation of anti social ends. Practices essentially mag ical might be Incorporated In religious rites and exercised for what was be lievcI to be the general good. Tn such q case they have continued to be eX ercised with general assent in the high est forms of eligion.-London Hos Dital

Victims of a False Prophet.

Just before the opening of the Kaffir rebellion in South Africa. about the middle of the last century, the sooth savers bade the tribes kill their cattle and destroy their crops of grain. The spirits of their ancestors were to arise and help them to eXterminate every white man in the country. The advice was solemnly accepted When the day of the great uprising arrived many of the rebels were already starving. But there came no gl,ostly herds of cattle out of the earth. no crops not sown with hands Grim, terrible famine swept over the land. and in the months which followed. although the authori ties did everything in their power to mitigate it's horrors. 10000 victims of a false prophet starved to death
