Easter Exercises.

The Mystery Play given by the child
ren of the Sunday school was quite out
Of the ordinary for st. Andrews church,
but was instructive and pleasing both
to those who participated and those
who listened. The children all took the
parts well, and the group OF children
with their banners made very pretty
picture Ray Spaulding made some in
teresting remarks. Prayer books and
hyrnnals were presented to Reginald Fisk
and Ada Burns, by St. Margarets Guild,
for the most regular attendance at Sunday
school during the year. Helen and Alice
Burns had equally as good records but
in the allotment of the prize Miss Ada

offered by John McCarty.

at the North church Sunday morning by
the quartette choir assisted by Mrs.
Harry NJ. Cross, Mrs F. F. Hazen, H.
~ Wood and Raymond Shepard. The
floral display from the Underclyfie con-
seryatories was beautiful reminder OF
the day, and the pulpit was banked with |
flowers In the front row were azaleas |
with rows Of tulips, ionquils and Easter |
lilies ranged behind. On each side of the |
embankment OF flowers were pots of |
broom. The Easter concert by the Sun.

child with flower.
The Sunday school concert at the
South church was given at the ycsper

tions by the pupils. Miss Glenn Robin

with violin, and selections were sung by
double quartet from the school.
Azaleas and poets narcissus made very
pretty decorations in the church. and at
the morning service Mrs. Maud Eklof
assisted in the choir.
Easter passed off very pleasantly at
the Church OF the Messiah with large
both morning and even
ing. feature of the splendid music of
the morning was an anthem with bell
accompaniment. The concert of the
evening was most pleasing 1t seemed |
most fitting to see so many bright chill 1
dren's faces among the Easter lilies.
Seven adults were taken into the church
in the morning, FIVE men and two
women. A beautiful new individual !
set has been presented to the
church in memory of E. F. Brown and
Mrs. Volney Powers.

overlooking Sunday evening to hear the
concert given by the members of the
Sunday school. The members of Elmer {
Carr's class of Gideon Knights had the
decorations in charge and they were {
very artistic. The flowers and plants {
were distributed in the congregation
after the service. A very large offering /
was given for foreign missions, and the I
concert was greatly enjoyed. t

Sporting Notes.

Pat Doyle, Co. D '07lO9, was in town
last week on his way to Newport, N. H.
Pat had many pleasant things to say of
McKeesport and their basket ball team
but said that the money question was
all that kept him away from ST. Johns
bury.
Manager Barrett had his base ball
squad out on the campus last evening
for their first light practice. Although
only two veterans remain Ben thinks he
has team brewing that will give any
of them rub.
Skeets Wright has finished his basket
ball season in Jersey City and will collect
for the Lauter Piano Company until he
leaves for Ocean Grove, June 20.
St. Johnsbury Academy's loss is Cod
dard's gain in the shifting of Chappel,
the all round athlete, to the latter inst-
tuition. incidentally the next Goddard
five will be made up of three from this
place and two from the rest of the world,
ii the other two are needed.
After considerable scouting around and
numerous inquiries we find the local base
ball situation just as it was last Christ
mas. Seems as though a town OF this
size ought to have some representation
in the national game.
The l-told-you-sos will get busy after
Cy Youngs first game with the Maps,
no matter which way it goes. We rather
guess, though, that it will go for the
grand old man.
Hose Company No. 4 paid their forfeit

ScOtt'S New Bakery.

The last few days have been moving
days OF the most strenuous kind for the
+. A. Scott Company, but they have rea-
son to feel well repaid for their labor as
the change has given them one of the
most modern and thoroughly equipped
bake shops in this part of the state, in
which sunlight and cleanliness are two
OF the most striking features. The new
department is located in the building on
Pearl street formerly occupied by Joseph
st. Jock and this building and the one
from which they have moved are both
connected with the main building on
Eastern avenue by wide passage-ways
The new shop has undergone vast chang
es during the past few months, new and
thoroughly up-todate machinery has
been installed, rendering the whole bak-
ing process as nearly automatic as pos
sible and thereby making much easier
the handling of this firms rapidly in
increasing business. The room from
which they have just moved will be
used as a shipping department. and
this together with the newly COM
pleted department will give them up
wards of 5000 square feet of floor space
in their bakery department alone.
Their mammoth Duhrkot oven occu-
PIES the southeast corner of the new
building. II is the very latest design and
without doubt the largest oven in the
state and has several improvements
which will greatly facilitate the work.
The oven is IA feet 6 inches by Is feet in
side and has capacity of $50 loaves of
pure milk bread at baking. Its capac-
lty for day is 1000 loaves. 1t weighs
over 80 tons above the floor and rests
on foundation of II feet of stone and
cement, 16 cords of stone and over so
barrels of cement being used in the con-
struction of the foundation alone.
In the dough room, which occupies the
northwest corner, next the street, are the
mixer and the trOughs. The mixer is the
hrst machine to take up the work of
converting the many pure and whole
some ingredients into the appetizing
loaf which finally finds its way into so
many homes 1t is dumped from the
mixer INTO the troughs, where it is al
lowed to stand until ready for the
diVider, an extremely interesting and
ingenious machine, which automatically
cuts it up into the % ounce portions
allowed for each loaf. These are then
rounded up and allowed to stand until
trained eye decides it is time for the
moulder, another new machine which
does the shaping, to take up the work,
1t is only a step then to the pans and
thence to the oven. The whole process
requires about seven hours and must not
be varied in the slightest degree. else
there is liable to be heard the familiar
howl for bread such as mother used to
make, which is just the kind this firm are
now and have for long time been send.
ing out to the trade
The Ordway No. 8 oven, which had
formerly been used for bread, will he
moved into the new building where i
will be used exclusively as a pastry oven
This oven measures feet by 10 inside
and is sufficiently large to handle ali
their pastry business, thus doing away
with the confusion of using one oven for
both bread and pastry.

New Cancelling Machine.

The post office has just had installed a
new cancelling machine which is the very
latest in style and which will greatly
facilitate the handling of the incoming
and outgoing mail. 1t has just been
built by the American Postal Machines
Company of Boston and was installed
Saturday by the firms representative,
|. M. Stewart of Boston. The power
for the machine is furnished by one,
third H. P. electric motor and the letters
are cancelled with lightning rapidly.
These machines are now in constant use

cluded in that number that are fortunate
to have such useful machine.
