LABOR CONVENTION OVER.
Good Banquet and Election of Off
GERS Held During the Last Days.

The annual convGntiOn of the
Vermont Branch, American Fedora
tion of Labor was brought to a
close Thursday after the election OF
officers and the selection of Bellows
Falls as the place for the 1914 con-
vention.
Perhaps the most interesting ses-
sion of the closing days was the fine
banquet served Wednesday evening
at the Avenue House when Gov.
Fletcher and other notables were in
attendance. H. E. Bryant of Ply
mouth, Mass, served as POSTMASTER
and seated at his left were Gov. AL
len NJ. Fletcher, James Duncan of
Quincy, Mass, Rev. E. G. Drouhin,
Rev. E. E. Phillips and William
Stancombe. At his right were w.
y. Byrne, Rev. Peter Black and J.
w. Walsh.
The speakers of the evening were
Gov. Fletcher, A. S. Desrochers, Fred
BeaIs, William Stancombe of Bos-
ton, P: j. Byrne, Joseph Walsh,
Rev. E. G. Drouhin, Rev. T. ]. Leo
nard, Father Cummings of Ireland,
Mrs. F. H. Leitner of Boston, James
Duncan and C. E. Cummings. Mu-
sic was furnished by Hodges orches-
ira and a solo sung by the soloist
from the Premier Theatre. Over
100 were seated at the tables.
Grace was said by Rev. E. E Phil
lips
The speaking was very interest
ing. Gov. Fletcher said he had been
asked to speak about woman's
suffrage and said that in Vermont
it would not be constitutional until
a change in the constitution could
be proposed in 1920 and completed
in 1928. So there is little use in
trying to get it now. He was given
three cheers as he left the hall.
Mr.. Byrne spoke strongly
against the employment of prison
labor on articles that come into COM
petition with free labor.
Rev. e. G. Drouhin said he had
been misquoted regarding his atti-
tude towards organized labor and
that he was entirely in favor of the
union. There are great wrongs In
our economic system and there is
no other way to correct. them ex-
cept through organized effort. The
eve. before at the Colonial FIR. Drou-
hin spoke of the relations of capital
and labor, maintaining that labor
was entitled to a living wage and
had the right to unite with his fell
low employees to demand it and in
way the organization
could agitate and mould public opin-
ion. Capital is entitled to a just
share of profits and no more and
should treat their work

STORE ROBBED
Latest Break Was at GiIfilIan' s Store
in Barnet-Many Tramps
Arrested

The third robbery in this vicinity
was committed Saturday night when
unknown parties broke into the Gil
fillan' store in Barnet and secured
watches, jewelry and clothing and
made their escape: The entrance
was made by breaking a window.
The only possible clue is some of the
clothing they stole.
Sheriff Worthen was notified as
soon as the break was discovered and
started a search He found nearly
20 tramps in the camp near Wells
River and placed them under arrest,
An examination showed they were
not the men wanted and they were
not brought to jail. Four more
tramps were found in the camp near
st. Johnsbury and they were placed
in jail over night but there being no
evidence against them they were re-
leased in the morning. The officers
are still searching.

FARMERS AND SPORTS
Midsummer Outing Of Farmers AS
sociatiOn and Forest and Stream
Club, Aug. 30.

Saturday, August 80, is the day,
and Joe's Pond is the place for the
joint midsummer meeting of the
Caledonia County Farmers Associa-
tion and the Caledonia Forest and
Stream Club. Burgess Johnson, a
most interesting entertainer, State
Commissioner of Agriculture E. S.
Brigham and County Agent Stimson
are sure to speak and it is expected
that H. T. Collingwood, editor of
the Rural New Yorker will be pres
ent and speak.
Arrangements for the gathering
are not complete but it will be held
on that date rain or shine, as a large
tent has been secured. Dinner on
plan of the dinner three years ago
at HarHey's Lake will be served. 1t
is also hoped to have a special train
run from St. Johnsbury to the pond
to accommodate people coming from
the north and south parts of the
county and return in time for them
to take the evening trains. People
from the west part of the county will
be well accommodated by the regu-
lar trains.
With such talent for speakers a
profitable and interesting meeting is
assured. Mr.. Johnson spoke at the
meeting of the Forest and Stream
Club two years ago with the late
Will Carleton.

CALEDONIA DOCTORS MEET
Annual Election and Midsummer
Outing Held At DIR. Aldrich's
Cottage.

The annual meeting and mid-sum-
mer outing of the Caledonia Med
ical Association was held at the cot
tage of DIR. w. J. Aldrich at Joe's
Pond last Wednesday afternoon and
besides the doctors present there
were several guests from ST. Johns
bury. New York and other towns,
the whole party numbering about 80.
After enjoying the charming view
from the piazz for awhile, the meet
ing was called to order by President
Mackey and the following officers
were elected for the coming year:
President, Dr. Henry L. Pache of
Danville; vice-president, DR.. w. B.
Fitch of st. Johnsbury, secretary
and treasurer, DR.. H. H. Miltimore
of St. Johnsbury; delegates to the
State Medical Society, Dr. E. H. Ross,
DR.. c. A. Cramton and DR.. w. J.
AIdrich of st. Johnsbury, censors DR..
A. J. Mackey of Peacham and DR.. w.
G.. Kicker of st. Johnsbury.
The paper of the afternoon was by
Rev. G.. W. G. Hill entitled "Fakes and
Fakirs," in which he gave most
interesting account of the fake of
Elizabeth Squirrel, 13 year old girl
of Suffolk, England, who claimed to
i've IOT several mOuIHo OA 0uSIOA
ance furnished by and angel. She
claimed she could not speak, hear or
see and was very closely watched by
interested people, but the leaving Of
a pretty veil in her room led to the
final exposure when she was found
looking into a mirror and adjusting
the veil on her head.
After the close of the paper,
Doctors Fitch and Cramton were
elected a committee to arrange the
place and program for the next meet
ing.
The party went then to the Elm
House in DanVille where supper was
served At the close of the meal,
Pres. Mackey called on A. F. Stone,
Rev. A. P. Grint and Rev. G. w. G.
Hill who gave short responses.

To substantiate the statement let
US sit down and reason together.
For example: Any firm doing an ex-
tensiVe credit business, in a very
short time has permanently on their
books from $4,000 to $1,000, some Of
the accounts run only a few days,
some 80 days, more of them so days
and still more 80 days to months,
in fact some run one,. two and three
years. and some are. never collected
in this world. Now, it stands to rea-
son that some one pays for the long
waits, and losses. Dit it ever occur
to you that under the credit system
this expense is added to the cost Of
doing business and the one paying
cash really settles the~other fellows
bills? Do you want to keep on doing
We want it distinctly understood
that under our new arrangement
our prices will be the same to each
and every customer, there will be no
special concessions, or favored. ones.
Just help. us in making this a
grand success and we win prove to
you that THE biggest credit pur-
chaser in the world isn't big enough
to match prices with a little cash
buyer, also that we will share our
savings with all and make our Cash
system of financial benefit to the
general public.
On Sept. 1st come in and see our
new fall merchandise, compare prices
with all our lines and then we know
you will realize we mean business
and are ready to back up our state
ments with good dependable mer-
chandise at prices that will allow
each purchaser a dividend.

DROWNING AT WILLOUGHBY
Three Young Men from Orleans Went
Down With Capsized Boat.

Yesterday about noon three young
men, Dana and Monte Tripp and
Clayton Badger of Orleans were cap
sized in a sail boat on Lake Will
loughby and were drowned. No one
saw the accident but Prof. A. T.
Hawkes. of Columbia University, who
was rowing across the lake to the
hotel for dinner; he saw their caps
on the water and gave the alarm.
The water at this point is over $50
feet deep and no trace of the bodies
or boat had been found last evening.
Dana and Monte Tripp were sons
of Rufus Tripp, and Clayton Badger
was the son of Harrison Badger.
Dana Tripp was employed in Haver-
hill, Mass, and Badger in Worcester,
Mass. They were home for a va
cation. Monte Tripp was employed
in a grocery store in Orleans.

CHANGE AT sCOTT,s
Business To Be Put On A Strictly
Cash Basis Beginning Sept. 1.

cash Basis beginning Sept. ].
/ The Amos w. Scott Co. wish to an
nounce to the people of st. Johns
bury and vicinity, that on Sept. l,
1913, their business will be con-
Quoted on a Strictly Cash Basis.
This change is not made on the
spur of the moment, but after giving
careful consideration to both sys-
TENS, Cash and Credit, and after Civ
ing the old method of Credit every
benefit of a doubt.
We feel it our duty to the public
that we take this step, and that an
explanation from us to our patrons
is in order at this time.
During the past twenty-eight
years of uninterrupted business deal
ings with the people of st. Johnsbury
and vicinity, it has been our pleas
ure to see many changes for the bet
terment of conditions of all classes.
In the olden days the farmers as
whole sold their butter and much
of their produce but twice a year,
and thereby made it necessary that
they should avail themselves of Gre
dit, at the same time the factory
railroad man or any other
workman received their wages but
once a month and in most cases had
two weeks held back, this also of
necessity made it compulsory for
the most of them to ask for credit at
the various stores where they trad
ed.
Today these conditions are all
changed. The farmer finds a ready
market for all his produce, ETC., as
soon as he can raise it. The wage
Garner receives his pay each week
and every one is able to have ready
on hand.
This being the case we feel that
the time has come when the old ex-
pensive methods of doing business
should be altered to fit present day
The great topic for discussion to-
day is the high cost of living and it
is our purpose in making this change
TO, so far as possible, meet the de-
nand for bigger purchasing power of
every dollar.
We mean to reduce our expense
If doing business in several ways.
1st. By stopping the loss oc-
,asioned by worthless book accounts.
I'd. By stopping the interest on
money invested in all accounts
whether short or long time.
Sd. By saving in taxes on book !
accounts good, doubtful or bad.
4th. By saving the expense of |
'unning a set of account books, of !
ice hire, stationery, postage, collec- !
ion fees and all pertaining to the |
conduct of an Office running such !
accounts.
5th. The saving of friendships, |
which have always been, and always |
will be broken in the settlement of |
disputed accounts through error on |
he part of either the merchant or |
both believing themselves |
n the right.
These are but a few of the many |
Ways we can save money and there.
ore under our cash basis we can and |
will sell merchandise at prices lower |
han>it is possible for any one to do
n running a credit system. !

DROWNED AT LAKE HARVEY
Lyle Conant Got Beyond His Depth
While Bathing.

Lyle Conant, son of Mrs. W. B.
Conant, was drowned while bathing
in Harvey's Lake Sunday afternoon.
He could swim but little and went
out beyond his depth His uncle,
A. B. Thornton, who was out with
him, made several attempts to res
cue him, then came to the village
for help. John Roy, after diving
several times, succeeded in bringing
more than two hours friends work
ed in vain to revive him.

not be opposed unless we wish
Ito promote the doctrine of socialism
Mrs. Leitner urged the buying of
goods with the union label on them
and no other. Mr.. Duncan spoke
strongly for organization, Opposi-
tion to prison labor and urged labor
organizations to guard carefully
against destructive measures.
Wednesdays Meeting
On Wednesday the speakers of the
morning were Bryant of the Iron
moulders Union; Keirnan, of the
Retail Clerks; Byrne, of the Boot
and Shoe-makers Union; WaIch, of
the Union; and Stand
combe, of the Cigar-makers Union.
All these speakers emphasized the
fact that the people of the unions
must be educated so that they would
call for only union goods when they
entered a store, and in this way they
would boycott all open-shop goods.
Mr.. Bryne made the longest
speech of the morning. Among 9TH
er things he advocated laws for the
benefit and advancement of labor in
this state. He advocated an indie
pendent vote, one which did not de-
pend on any one of the established
parties but for the candidate who
would promise satisfactory reforms.
He stated that the public was a mas
ter of the merchant inasmuch as it
could procure what it wanted by re-
fusing to take any but union goods.
In this particular, he showed that
union goods were far superior to
those made by the open-shop.
In the afternoon Governor Allen
M. Fletcher was present and in his
speech stated that the legislature
had passed bills which would tend to
relieve the conditions OF the labor
ing man. James Duncan the first
vice-presjdent of the A. F. of L. and
the president of the Granite Cutters
international Association arrived on
the train from the south. Upon his
arrival the business of the afternoon
was adjourned and Mr.. Duncan was
given the floor. He spoke from the
point of view of an organizer and
urged the cooperation of all the dele
gates in the active organization of
new unions.
The Officers
Thursday morning was given over
to the reports of the committees on |
and Amendments. I'm

ton of his service as presiding Of |
