flower produced solely for perfumery. To these are added vegetable odors-the seed of musk plant, tonquin bean, vanilla bean, cloves, and the dstillation of com plete plants, such as lavender and rose- mary.
 When delicate blends from these have been obtained in special laboratories we have to procure animal substances to keep the odors from evaporating, such as natural musk from the musk deer, castor from the beaver, ambergris from the whale.
 An art in itself is the coloring of tho perfume when it has been obtained Pure vegetable eolorings chiefly are used. The cult of perfumes has so advanced that a woman with a rose tinted gown now de- mands as matter of course a haunting rose odor. and a violet costume must correspondingly have a violet perfume"

Professor Of Music Guest OF Prof. j.
w. Burgess Over Sunday.

The celebrated pianist, Cornelius
kubner, was the guest of Prof. ].
W. Burgess over Sunday. Prof.
Rubner is at the head of the depart
ment of music at Columbia Univer-
sity, having succeeded Mcdowell
as instructor there. When inter-
Viewed by Journal reporter he told
a very interesting story of his eXpe-
riences. He was born in Copenha-
gen, Denmark, and educated at the
Royal Conservatory and later at
Leipzig, and has studied under the
celebrated composers and teachers
Gade, Reinecke and David.
While in this country Prof. Rub
ner has played with the Boston

hear plenty of music and for that
reason has arranged a number of
recitals given by the students. About
TIE first of May during the last part
Of the year recital is given at

dents own composition. This, he
says, gives the student an opportu-
nifty to hear their own work and
shows the crowds that attend what
the boys are doing. Prof. Rubner

TEL. SITUATION DEVELOPS
Change in Rates OF New England
Company May Have Unexpected
Effects.

Company May Have Unexpected
Effects.
The action taken by the New Eng
land Telephone & Telegraph Co.,
with reference to the raising of the
telephone rates between this city
and Barre and the resulting commo-
ton it has aroused in various quar-
ters, may have an effect which was
perhaps not exactly expected by the
officials of that organization when
the change was first promulgated.
1t has been broadly limited by those
in a position to be acquainted with
the facts of the case, that the Or
ange County Telephone Company
will be encouraged to extend its
lines in such manner as to effici-
entity take care of the local service.
and by interchange OF lines, handle
the toll calls.
The situation at present is pecu-
liarly suited to a project of this
kind. as it is certain that large
proportion of the disgruntled sub
scribers of the New England line
will become patrons of the new sys-
TEN if such an arrangement is COM
pleted. The number of patrons of
the New England company who are
contemplating the removal of their
phones as the result of the change
in rates, is so large as to give the
Orange County line encouragement
in the idea, and 1t Is understood that
local capital could be engaged to
stand behind the company If such
a project was started.

Jack Shearer who was severely
burned by a shock on Saturday, had
his leg amputated just above the

was performed by the regular hos

er is doing as we'll as can be ex-
pected although he is very weak.
The physicians say that there is a
fair chance for his recovery.
Shearer sustained burn two in
ches wide Just above the knee, a
burn on the leg and one on his heel.
He was very anxious to have the
leg sawed. however. and it was
owing to this fact that the physi-
clans have delayed amputation.

Then landing on its verdant shore
He knelt upon the sod,
And lifting up his voice in prayer
Gave thanks aloud to God.
And standing on its virgin soil
The flag of France unfurled
And In the name of God and king
He claimed this new found world.
And holding high the crucifx
Above the shining wave
Unto the fairest lake on earth
His humble name he gave.
Three hundred years have passed
away
Crimsoned with human blood
Since that fair summer morning
when
Champlain first crossed its food.
Long years of war and massacre
When nations strove to gain
This beauteous land whose shores
enclose
The waters OF Champlain.
The savage of blood of Indians
brave
Has dyed the headlands wild
And massacre has mingled there
The blood of wife and child,
The blood Of French and English
men
The red blood of the Scot,
New England's sons have drained
their veins
To dye this hallowed spot.
Gone is the Indians scalping knife,
Gone is the flag of France.
Gone is the slogan of the Scot,
Gone is the English lance.
And over lake and mountain
height,
Whereer the eye can roam,
Free to the winds both day and
night
Our banner floats alone.
Far to the north the British flag
Floats peaceful on the breeze
And kindred hands are cIasped In
love
Across the stormy seas,
And bonds of commerce Irvine the
flags
That passions once did part
And cords of friendship knit the
race
And bind them heart to heart.
And here where Frank and Saxon
fought
For mastery of a world
The starry banner proudly waves
Where war flags were unfurled;
And floating in the summer air
Ger lake and mount and crag
The French and British banners
bright
Salute the starry flag.

WILLIAM C. AYERS DEAD.
Well KOwn Barre Boy Succumbs
After Painful Illness.

William Chandler Ayers, the only
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Virgil E. Ay-
ers of Barre, died at his home on
Ayers street on Thursday evening
at $50 of malignant growths in
the glands. He had been a great
sufferer for several months and it
had been known for weeks that ply
sicians could do nothing for his
case which a famous physician in
Burlington said was the worst Of
it's kind he had ever encountered in
his practice.
Mr.. Ayers was "a years and one
month of age and was born in Bar
re. He attended the public schools
and graduated from the Spaulding
High school in 1906. During the
time that he was student in the
high school he took a prominent
part in athletics and was catcher on
the base ball team. After his
graduation he attended Dartmouth
College for year and then went to
Columbia University for the follow
ing year leaving on account of Ill
health a year ago last June. He
recovered sufficiently later so that
he was able to go to work In a bank
in Boston but was taken i'll in April
and was in a hospital at the time
he was called home on account OF
the death of his sister, Mrs. H. w.
Chamberlain of Montpelier.
The deceased was likable young
man, clean cut, and had a large
number of friends both in his native
town and among his college fellows.
He was member of the D. X. f..
college fraternity and while in Co
lumbia sang in the glee club.
The funeral was held at his
late home on Ayers street in Barre

Buildings on State Street Have a

The sale of the Taplin and Ellis
blocks has been completed, the new
owner being F. NJ. Cory, who has
purchased both buildings, paying
$4,000 for the two. Mr.. Corry's
intention in taking over this prop

blocks is such that some little ex-
pense must ensue for repairs. but
it is proposed to use the buildings
in their present state for the time
being. In time they will I'M
doubtedly be torn down and new up
to date blocks erected in their
places, which will be great add
ton to the appearance of the bus
mess portion OF this city.
In the history of the purchase
given below it is interesting to COM
pare the value of real estate in
Montpelier in 1920 and at the pres
ent time.
In 1905 about an acre of land
reaching from Main street to the
Branch, and from State street to the
Argus Office was owned by Joseph
Palmer. A little later it was sold
by Palmer to Eliza Dunpar and
James H. Bradford of Keene, N.
H. These owners put up a brick
block there where the new Lang
don block now stands. The prop
erty including the block was sold
later to James R. Langdon and
Chester W. HoughtoI for a consid-
Grafton of s1,400. Later Mr.. LangG
ton purchased Mr. .Houghton's in"
terest.
In 1920 Mr.. Langdon sold what
is known as the Ellis property to
Calvin Winslow and Ira owen for
$3.50. Another part of the prop
erty was sold to Silas G. French
and Nehemiah Harvey for 800.
Winslow and owen then sold out
to James Rowland who in turn sold
to Artemus Wilder, Jabez Ellis and
Cornelius Bancroft in 1S47. Later
Mr.. Ellis bought out the other two.
On the settlement of the Ellis es-
tate the property was left equally
divided between his daughter, Mrs.
Julia Wilkinson, and granddaugh-
ter, Caroline Dorothy Scott of
Chicago. Mr.. Cory obtained the
property from them and the remain
der of the purchase from the Tap
lin estate.
The Ellis block is now occupied
by E. r. Gee while the Taplin
block is occupied by W. e. Poole.
