THE STRIKE SITUATION
Road Appears to Have Best End but
Situation Is Far from Z
Settled Z

Although there still continue to be
applica tions for permanent places on
the Central Vermont railroad to take
the places of the striking trainmen,
and conductors are being brought.
from New York, the ranks of the
strikers remain unbroken. The con-
ductors from New York are taking
examination today to show their COM
petence. The statement is made from
the offices of the company that the
age limit might bar some of the
strikers in case they should apply.
Announcement is made that the
shops in st. Albans will be reopened
just week after their closing. This
will affect about $50 workmen. The
officials state that there is an ever-in-
creasing amount of freight traffic and
that merchants in st. Albans, Bur-
lington, Montpelier, Barre and other
places are beginning to get their con-
signments through without resorting
to round about routes. Granite is be-
ing handled, but the through granite
train to the middle West has not been
resumed. The trouble at Brockville,
P. O., on the Grand Trunk is reported
to be less than for several days, al
through freight shipments to that
place will be sent to arrive there dur
ing the daytime. The Grand Trunk
crews which were called back to Brock
vile have been ordered to ST. Albans
to man their trains. Brockville has
been the storm center of the Grand
Trunks strike.

Boyhood Days.

Don't you remember the old farm
home
On the top of the stony hill
And the pigs that rooted and grunted
and squealed
Till you lugged 'em nine pals of swill-
Don't you, remember the old GLOSSY
cow
That stuck her foot in the pail
And kicked you fiat on the small of
your back
And slapped your mouth with her tail?
Don't you remember the pretty ba-
sheep
With his horns curled three times
round
That butted you clean across the yard
And hammered you into the ground?
Don't you remember the "churnin'
And the butter that would not come
And the old grind-stone you turned
and turned
Till you wore your hands to the bone?
Don't you remember the grain they
threshed
All covered with smut and rust
When they kept you up in the old barn
. loft
Till you nearly died from the dust?
Don't you remember the raw boned
''hoss"
You rode to furrow the corn
Till you grew so tired and lame and sore
You wished you had never been born?
Don't you remember the apples green
You stole when the moon was bright
That doubled you up with the "colic
ache"
And made you howl all night?
Don't you remember the old "swimmin'
hole"
Where the blood-suckers hung to your
toes
And you stood on the bank and hollered
and swore
While the fellers ran off with your
clothes?
Don't you remember the suckers there
You speared with your wooden lance
While the nettles tickled your little
bare ShinS -
And the wasps crawled up your pants?
Don't you remember the red school
house
That stood at the foot Of the hill
Where you carved your name with your
old jack-knife
On the top of the window-sill?
Don't you remember your seat-mate
dear
Who asked to go out on the sly
And found your pail on the entry shelf
And ate up your cake and your pie?
Don't you remember the teacher-marm
Who taught your ideas how to shoot
And yanked YOU out on the floor, by
the ear
Because you couldn't learn square root?
Then here's to the lads we loved and
fought
Grown careworn now and gray
God keep them through the coming
time
And speed them on their way.
And here's to the memr'y of boyhood
days
With their laughter and their tears
And we breathe prayer for the time
to come
And a sigh for the vanished years.

THE GUILD BANQUET.

The Nehemiah Guild Banquet last
Friday night was red letter event
In the history of Barton Methodism.
Some time ago the pastor, Rev. w. B.
Dukeshire, explained a method he had
used successfully in other churches, by
which the large amount of money
needed to beautify the church could
be successfully and easily raised.
Along with his other duties, Rev. w.
B. Dukeshire has quietly and thor
oughly explained and pushed the Guild
idea. Practically every family in the
parish responded and strong thou
sand dollars was pledged according to
the Guild plan-a plan that makes it
pleasure instead of an agony to raise
large amount of money. The sup
port and enthusiasm with which the
plan was received were shown Friday
evening, when one hundred and ff-
teen of the Methodist parish met for
their first meeting and banquet, and
to pay the first instalment. The ban
'quet was in charge of the men Of the
Guild. And their thanks are hereby
extended to the ladies. whose sugges-
tions and help were invaluable. Will
liam Williams had supreme charge of
the kitchen, assisted by Pliny Web
ster and w. w. Hartwell C. S.
Webster had charge of the finances
and directed the work of waiting on
the tables. The walters were all
young men. The post prandial exer-
cises were most thoroughly enjoyed by
all. Rev. w. B. Dukeshire was toast
master. He introduced J. N. Web
ster, who is the only surviving mem
ber of the Building committee, who
had charge of the building of the pres
ent church edifce. He gave many in
terestlng facts. He was followed by
Mrs. E. G. Collision, who responded
to the toast, "Were the Former Days
Better Than These?" Her address was
filled with humorous pictures Of the
old days, that in no way disparaged
the strong loyal service Sf those who
then bore the burden of the work.
She referred particularly to Geo. H.
Blake through whose leadership the
work of the Sunday school was greatly
streng gthened. Her remarks were most
thoroughly enjoyed. W. W. Hartwell
then spoke with much appreciation of
the Guild idea. Miss Mcclellan
rendered solo with rare swee tness
and power. Her selections were
most throughly enjoyed. Mrs. J. N.
Webster then spoke on a more loyal
support of the church, it's services and
work. Her address rang true. Mrs.
Stone gave an interesting account of
California. Miss McDuffee rendered,
in a very pleasing manner, a humorous
selection. DR.. Pearson, an invited
guest, spoke on the value of the So
cial life in the work of the church.
c. l.. Erwin in his remarks affirmed
that the church of today was showing
better taste and common sense in its
work. Then DR.. and Mrs. John
Blake rendered musical selections.
They were solos sung by Mrs. Blake,
and accompanied with flute obligato
by DR.. Blake. 1t was a most delight
full feature of the program. With the
benediction by the pastor closed a
very successful meeting of the Guild
organization.
