KURN HATTIN HOMES
Work of a Worthy Institution and
It's Needs.

Times have changed; are chang
ing. The young man of today, to
secure a position for self-support
must be much better equipped than
the young man of yesterday. Growth
is the watch-word of the ambitions
young man. He is not satisfied to
remain in the same ranks year after
year, but to realize his ambition for
advancement he must be better quail
fled to serve his employer than his
fellows.
How are the poor and homeless
Vermont boys to get this necessary
training?
The "Kurn Hattin" Homes at
Westminster and Saxtons River, w.,
are doing all they can to solve the
problem.
Fifty-four boys are now enjoying
the practical training of these homes.
Additions to the buildings are now
in process eff construction, which
will increase the capacity of the
Homes to 100 boys. The trustees
desire this number of boys and they
will find no difficulty in securing
these. as AZ worthy applicants had
to be refused in 1906. The public
can at once comprehend the situa-
ton; enlargement means increased
expenses. All the necessary farm
produce is provided by the Home
farm, but the cash comes entirely
from voluntary contributions from
the public.
The success achieved by these
Homes is proved by their product;
the boys who are filing positions of
honor and trust on farms, in offices
and stores and who, without the help
they have had from "Kum Hattin"
coming from somewhere, could not
be where they are today.
The official board earnestly APP
peals to the public for increased con-
tributions to sustain the work in its
growth.
Miss Sessions, the Vermont fnan-
cial agent, is spending few days in
town and will be glad to answer any
questions relative to "Kurn Hattin,"
as we'll as to receive whatever mate
rial help our townspeople can give.

ProotorsviIIe Trims Ludlow.

Wyatt, Dumas and Davis of the
local team played with Ludlow
against Proctorsville Saturday. Proc
torsville was padded out with pro-
fessional talent, including Collins,
pitcher, and burlington, his catcher:
Uniac, and other fast ones. How
ever, the team had one Proctorsville
player. Ludlow enlisted Wood
stocks aid, and put in Cy Young to
pitch. Cy didn't last long, as the
opposing batsmen kept the ball in
the air continuously and before the
fourth inning was ended had ham
mered out ten scores. In the mid
die of the inning Wyatt took Cy's
place. With one out and two men
on bases he struck out the next two
men. Only two hits were made off
Wyatt in the remainder of the game,
and Proctorsville didn't score again.
Eye witnesses say that Wyatt was
never in finer form, retiring the side
in one inning on four pitched balls.
AS Wyatt struck out the second
man in the fourth, frenzied fan
broke over the ropes onto the dia-
mond and handed him a dollar;
couldn't wait till he reached the
bench.
Davis and Dumas each made two
hits off Collins, and at first and third
played errorless games. Wyatt got
one hit, on which Ryan made Lud-
lows one run.
The Woodstock players had the
freedom of the town after the game.
Ludlow was grateful and wouldn't
take their money for anything
