The Rebekah fair in I. 0. 0. F.
hall was well patronized "Wednesday
afternoon and evening" The hall was
prettily trimmed in pink and green
and booths We're attractively arranged
around the hall. The booth where fan
cy articles were sold was in charge of
Mrs. A. L. Maynard, Miss Bessie Cain
and Miss Ella Stebbins. The flower
booth was looked after by Mrs. F. E.
Young and Mrs. J. o. Amidon. The
apron booth by Mrs. F. E. Cook and
Mrs. M. E. Butterfeld; the handker-
chief sbooth by Mrs. Frank Perry and
Mrs. James Allen; the guessing booth
by Miss Alta Bishop, Miss Mabel
Briggs and Mrs Walter Sturges; and
the grab booth by Miss Annie Park
and Miss Ethel Streeter. Dancing was
enjoyed from 9 until 10 O'Clock. A
poppy dance, performed by 10 young
women, was one of the prettiest attrac-
tions of the fair. E. Wales trained
the participants and their work reflects
credit upon his training. Those TAX

Mabel Briggs, Miss Alta Bishop,
Misses Ollie and Della Burroughs, Miss
Kendall, Miss Annie Mellen, Miss Jo-
sephine Farmer, Mrs James Allen,
Mrs. Eric Landry, Mrs. Walter Stur-
ges and Mrs. Fay Miller. Each dancer

A meeting of the directors and
new industries committee of the board
of trade was held in the rooms last
evening.
R. c.. Bacon was in Bellows Falls
Monday and Tuesday to appear as
counsel for c. H. Crague of Springfield
at a hearing before Commissioners ..
NJ. George and E. S. Leonard on an ac-
count against the estate of the late y.
l. Kilburn. The case was originally
brought in county court but was ter
minated on the death of Mr.. kilburn.
H. D. Ryder represented the estate.
E. R. Thayer, who has held the
position of janitor of the town hall
building for the past II years, received
from James F. Hooker, chairman of the
selectmen, the first of the week a let
ter saying that his services would not
be needed after Nov. l. At the same
time it was learned that the selectmen
had given Mr.. Thayer's place to Her
bert E. Harris. This change has
caused no little excitement ON Nam
street and a petition has been In CIR
culation the past few days asking for
the retention of Mr.. Thayer in his old
position. The paper has been largely
signed, and, it is understood, will be
presented to the selectmen tomorrow
morning. 1t is claimed in some quar-
tiers that the janitorship was given to
Mr.. Harris as reward for the work
he did in the last political campaign
and that he was promised the position
months ago. Harry Rowe said yester-
dav that Mr.. Hooker had within a
month promised him the janitor's posi-
ton in case it was decided to GUST Mr.
Thayer.
The selectmen have completed the
new road from South Main street down
the hill to Morningside cemetery but
will not extend it through to Vernon
street this fall on account of some diff
ficulty with the Vernon street property
owners in regard to land damages
Those interested in promoting the new
building lots on South Main street are
anxious to have the highway completed

BELGIUM'S ART.
Its Supreme Accent Said to Be Voiced
In Work of Constantin Meunier.

From the Century.
No country is more frankly industrial
than Belgium Within a few decades the
meadows of Brabant. the leafy copses OF
Hainaut and the valleys OF the Mouse and
the Sambre have been scanned and Scared
by hundreds of collieries and iron foun-
dries. Everything. it would appear, has
conspired TO annihilate art and the sense
of beauty yet both have survived and
have even taken on new and deeper Sig
niicance The novels Of Camille Lemon
nier, the verse of Verhaeren and the gen.
the mysticism of Maeterlinck have all fow-
cred on this somber battlefield of industry,
In painting Laermans and Frederic reveal
penetrating mastery while the sculp-
ture OF George Mime embodies dolorous
and tender appeal
1t is not despite, but because Of exist
ing conditions that such results have been
achieved. The art Of Belgium is uncom-
