If Oxford and Cambridge agree to

and the invitations will soon be for /

thought likely that the athletes across I

problem in connection with the meet
has already been solved by the fact
that in the spring the fiftieth anniver
sary of the Oxford-Cambridge dual
meet will be celebrated, and the pro
ceeds from this, it is thought, would
be sufficient to fit the team financially
to make the trip to America.
The invitation which the English col
legians will receive stipulates that
eleven events will be held instead of

than has been recorded for this old
time New England investment, for
very many years.
The decline cannot be construed as
other than a reflection of uneasiness
on the part of the shareholders with
respect to the maintenance of the + per

this apprehension.
At the present time the road has out
standing in short time notes, obliga-
tions amounting to So, 100000. of
which SIP 100000 falls due in June
The directors had counted upon the
sale of permanent securities with which
to take up these notes, but as the law
requires that the road cannot sell its
stock for less than par, it has been i'm
possible, with the stock lowering
around 80, to look for any relief in
this direction.
! Boston & Maine has for years been
equipped, and it today stands in
urgent need of $4,000 ears. It's debit

woe as that made recently by a daring
physician. In manner somewhat
similar to that of the high officials of

Meantime the suffering and dying
victims of the worst disease scourge

DR.. Friedrich Franz friedman. a
comparatively young German physi-
clan from Berlin. who dares to say he
can cure persons suffering from the
white plague, is cause of the medical
sensation. One young man committed
suicide and another died Of exposure
because of DR.. Friedmann's unfulfilled
promise shortly after the German sa-
want came to the United States. For
days hundreds of emaciated, shriveled
and wasted victims of tuberculosis be-
sieged 339 Fifth avenue, where the

DR.. friedman was not permitted to

DR.. friedman had boldly come to

much heralding and had announced he
was ready to treat the rich and poor
| alike. The advisory board of the de
partment of health in New York
straightway investigated the claims OF
the newcomer and offered to give him
every opportunity of demonstrating
his serum in one OF the tuberculosis
hospitals before competent medical
men. The board prohibited him, how
ever, from practicing upon patients
until he had passed an examination
and received license. just as all Othel

What Do you Saw?

Roaring Brook Park is to be sold.
To whom and for what purpose re.
mains to be seen. If purchased by
some interestsit might be dismantled
as a fair ground. This would be a
blow to Barton. The Orleans County
Fair association has considered it's
purchase, but half dozen members
only were interested enough to attend
meetings called for the purpose of
voting and those few did not see fit to
take the responsibility for the other
members.
The matter has now reached a point
where Barton as village may be
affected. Shall we citizens of Barton
take chances of having this property
disposed Of and be unable to have any
more fairs here?
A citizens meeting is called at
Hotel Barton, Thursday evening at
Z 80 O'Clock for the purpose of discuss
ing this matter. Are you interested
enough in this matter as it affects
our town, to put on your hat and
stroll over to this meeting? Do you
care? It's up to YOU.

VIII Repeat Old Folk.' Concert.

Probably no entertainment ever CIV
en- here by local talent was better en-
joyed.t than the Old Folks concert of
Friday evening, March 18th. 1t fell
however on very stormy evening, and
at a time when many were ill and un-
able to attend, so in response to gen.
eral desire the concert will be repeated
Friday evening, April 11th. New fea-
tnres will be added to the program,
one of which, a hand organ solo by DR..
j. A. Pearson, will certainly be a
drawing card.
This concert is in the interest of the
Village Improvement society, and a
word about their work will be of inter
est to all our people. Last June when
the society elected their officers for
the ensuing year, there was a debt OF
about $3.50 for the work done on the
park the year before. Immediately
the members got busy. A dinner given
at the Playground at the 4th of July
celebration netted $100. Automobile
Day in August brought in $87 30 and
at a supper furnished by the ladies for
r. "A. chapter of Masons $83 more was
cleared. The proceeds of their last
entertainment, the Old Folks concert
brought the debt down to- approx.
mately $50. Now everybody turn out
Friday evening, enjoy an hour or two
of music and fun and help our " |. S.
clear up their debt, and thus be ready
for ''ye next thynge" they may do tc
beautify our village. There will be {
,, rehearsal on Thursday evening.
