particularly by that element which in

Whether that inclination toward the
conservative wing of the party in the
face of the determined sentiment in

ROAD REPAIR CAUSED DISCUSSION.
But Montpelier City Council Voted to
Fix Bad Place Near Marvin Farm.

| The Montpelier city council cleared up
a lot OF business at its meeting last
night, most of it of a routine nature.
The principal question which caused dis
cussion was where to use the highway
money of the city. Alderman Farrar
reported to the council the condition OF
a piece of road from the Marvin farm
over the clay knoll, which badly needs
repair and the knoll itself should be
cut down, according to the decision of
the council. This would cost from 800
to 5000 That started the ball roll
ing. One alderman thought it better
to fix up the roads within the city be-
fore going outside to make repairs; an
Iother said that one spot was the only
bad place from Montpelier to Barre and
he favored repairing it. A third agreed
that large number of automobiles
travelled over the road in question and
it would benefit them, but contended
that there was plenty of need of money
to be expended nearer the center of the
city
Alderman Atherton thought six miles
of splendid road between the twin cities
would be valuable asset, and Superin-
tendent of Streets Roberts estimated
the cost of repairs, as suggested, to be
5000, if the knoll was cut down, and
said the city had the material to do
the work.
An amendment was made to the orig
inal motion, making it to read that the
work was to be done when feasible.
One vote and two ballots were taken to
the amended motion and it was lost.
Then the original motion was voted on,
which resulted in a tie. A ballot fol-
lowed, when the eyes" votes won, and
Mr.. Roberts was instructed to repair
the road.
Among bills ordered paid were poor

Capacity audiences besieged the
ticket window early at every perfor-
nance, Thursday, at the Comidue in
their rush for seats for THE Purple
Widow" a musical farce written by
r. p. Janette Judging by the almost
continuous laughter and rounds of ap-
plause there seems to be no question
that this particular widow caught the
fancy of the Augusta theatregoers, and
that Sanford Wallin has secured an
other attraction equal if not superior
to those he brought, when he starred
with Phil OFT.
The Purple Widow" has the adj
vantage of enlisting three excellent
comedians in her support. Billy Carl
ton works diligently and succeeds in
winning favor at his first appearance.
He is ably supported by Lud Berkeley
and Jack Rich on the comedy end,
while the operate tenor, Joe Smith,
sang in excellent voice.
Another feature is the beauty
chorus, nice appearing lot of young
ladies, whose singing and dancing won
the good graces of the audience. IN

PEOPLE NOTICED IT

Last spring many of the people who
know Gerald Rogers of New York,
were talking about how pale and deli
cate he was. No one had to tell him,
for he realized his bad condition.
1t was spring-just the time to do
something for his blood-and he de-
cided to do it. His recent letter tells
the whole story; Il was very weak,
delicate and pale all spring, owing to
rundown health and poor blood. But
since taking Vinol my health has
been built up splendidly and | have
recovered my former strength. My
blood is now rich and healthy and my
appetite is good
The very best spring medicine you
can possibly get is Vinol our delicious
cod liver and iron preparation without
oil, because it not only purifies the
blood but builds up flesh and strength
and makes quantities of rich new
blood.
Make up your mind right now that
you will try Vinol (on our guaranty
that it must please you or cost you
nothing) for it will make you feel bet
ter than you have felt for years.
