AMUSEMENT NOTES.
sway Down East" Friday Evening at
Barre Opera House.

SWAY Down East" with its typical
characters of New England life with its
realistic stage pictures and environ.
ments, comes to the opera house next
Friday, Oct. 20.
Despite its many seasons of remark
able success, the popularity OF this rur-
al drama has in no wise lessened. The
majority of theatregoers have never
failed to see this play on its annual visit
and they will go again, enjoying even
greater feryor than on its previous
visits. The characters of the play have
become as old acquaintance, and seeing
them again is like visit amid familiar
scenes. On the other hand, "Way Down
East" has patronage peculiarly its
own. The purity and sweetness OF its
story and the lesson it teaches attracts
a class of people seldom seen at other
attractions.

The effort to regulate the wireless
method of telegraphy resulted in the
imposing of $50 fine on an amateur in
New York City for violating the federal
radio law, the young respondent having
set up apparatus on the roof of his
house without securing license Such
a restriction seems at first thought to
be serious abridgement of individual
rights and a handicap for business en-
terprise; but when one considers that
the increasing number of wireless opera
tors has caused great interference with
the sending of legitimate, and some
times urgent, messages it becomes APP
parent that some means OF regulation is
necessary. That regulation which seems
the most feasible is the licensing of
prospective operators, so that they may
be the more easily controlled by the
government. 1t is hoped thereby to
end a great deal of the uncalled for
meddling with messages and to prevent
the sending of messages by unknown
operators, the receipt of which messages
would be likely to have disturbing eff
feet. The efforts of the government
are we'll intended and well directed.

1t was within 10 years that John Leon
Lewis had come into statewide notice
in Vermont, although prior to that he
had been quite prominent figure in the
northern border towns, where the scenes
of his activities as lawyer, manufactur-
er and banker were located. Beginning
with his election to the lower branch OF
the state legislature in 1904 and fol-
lowed by election to the state Senate,
his political career came into wide recog-
milton when he managed the guberna-
torial campaign of GOV. George H,
Prouty with such success that he was
secured TO do the same duty for John A.
Mead who likewise found himself in the
chief executives chair. In each of these
campaigns Mr.. Lewis proved himself to
be quite keen follower of the game OF
politics as played in Vermont. Latter
Nv he had been less actively engaged in
the councils of the Republican party, al
though elected as a delegate-at-large to
the national convention in Chicago last
year. Mr.. Lewis was an attractive pub
lie speaker and gained ready ear when
ever he essayed to speak at the State
House in Montpelier.

TEACHERS BENEFIT FUND.
Friend Urges That the Contributions Be
Liberal.
Shirley, Mass, Sept. 20, 1913.

Shirley, Mass, Sept. 20, 1913.
Dear friends:
Years ago,--I hope not too many
YOU went to school in Vermont. In
those DAYS didn't you have one or more
teachers to whose unseltish devotion and
sterling uprightness of character you
still feel that you owe something OF
what you are? / did, and ! believe you
did, if you will only stop to think of 1t,
Well, now comes the time to show
your appreciation of that teacher, and
to do something to uphold the honor of
your beloved state as well. You know,
of course how hard the Vermont Teach
ers' Benefit Fund association is working
to raise the necessary sum for that en-
dowment fund; YOU know all about that
vote of the Vermont legislature last
year, granting Vermont teachers a PEN
sion retirement fund provided that this
association raised $4,000 by November
of this wear? At least one-half of that
sum must be raised within few weeks.
Won't you help?
The law as passed calls for joint eff
fort by the teachers and the state; j. e.,
the state is to contribute annually an
amount equal to that which the teachers
shall succeed in raising mot to exceed
100000, until a permanent fund OF $20,-
600 is secured. The teachers have work
ed, and are working necessarily. Shall
they be allowed to fall short the first
year? The average wage OF the 5000
teachers in your native state is 93 cents
a day. and the necessity of some sort
of provision for the days in which they
no longer will be able to teach has long
been felt.
Every man or woman who loves old
Vermont or remembers the little old
schoolhouse and what il once meant to
them, should feel it privilege to help
raise this $4,000, now. Loyalty to your
state and your early ideals prompts you
to do something about it,-now doesn't
it?
. How much will you givef Please
send as much as you can afford, either
to me or to the treasurer, Miss Sarah A.
Martin, 2 Hickok Place, Burlington, Vt.
Or if you want to know more about the
practical details of the pension fund,
write Miss Caroline S. Woodruff, st.
Johnsbury.
And may / not hear from you?
Cordially yours,
Helen NJ. Winslow.

Vermont Farmers Successful
Editor Monitor:

Editor Monitor:
In reading your article in the Moni-
tor on immigratlng east, | am led to
explain why 1t seems to me the farm
ers in the western states fail to make
good. Now | was born and brought up
in Vermont but have lived in Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut, of course
once a Vermonter always one but I
can see plainly where the great trouble
lies in the western state farmers or at
least two thirds of those, and it is this,
they don get down to business, in 9TH
er words they farm in haIf-hearted
manner. Now, where [ live | can
look around and find only very few
farmers that are successful. One
thing that looks shiftless to my YER
mont instinct is the lack of a good
wood pile. While two or three farm
the year around, others are cutting lit
tie ''jags" and hauling them to the
house to cut up as needed and another
thing l notice they dislike to go out if
| it is storming. Of course there are
exceptions but l am speaking of the
average farmer in Massachusetts and
| Connecticut, | won't go any farther
away than know by observation and
| maintain if they would get up in the
morning and get to work and use as
much ambition as the average farmer
there would not be as many abandoned
farms in these states as there are
now. There are many good farms
around in my vicinity, that if not
abandoned might as we'll be for all
they produce. | know of one farm
that the hay has been sold off from fol-
twelve years and in that time not one
particle Of fertilizer has been put on
and then they say this farm is run out
and wonder why. OF course near the
cities and large places there are up
to-date farms where they depend {
great deal on hired help. The farms
/ speak of are the ones lying back or
the hills some ten and twelve miles
from railroad, they say, eff the trolley
will only come our way we may hope
to do something" But unless they
get little Vermont enthusiasm il
their veins and get to work in a sci
entific manner they will never make

the hill farmers do not pillow deer
enough or harrow sufficiently after

Washington Pageant by Montpelie
Seminary Students.

The historical pageant given by
the teachers and students Of Montpe-
lier seminary, celebrating the one
hundred eighty-first birthday Of George
Washington, was one of the most sue
cessful entertainments ever given by
preparatory school in Vermont. Two
performances were given in the chap
el, Friday evening and Saturday after
noon, before crowded room. The
program consisted of fourteen episodes
and five tableaux presented by one
hundred fifty characters in costume.
The episodes were written by the
members of the junior and senior
ella sses in connection with the English
department conducted by Miss Miriam
[. Kimball. The scenes portrayed the
life of the Father Of His Country
from the cherry tree event to the close
of his presidency. Miss Mabel C.
Hamilton of the elocution department
had charge of the arranging and drill
ing for the different scenes. The part
of George Washington was we'll taken
by Prof. Fred McCullum. The seen
| cry for the different settings was
made by the students under the direc-
ton of Miss Helena Mitchell, the art
instructor. Colonial fathers. danes,
sons and maids, English officers and
soldiers, the noble Frenchman. Lafay-
cite, highly painted Indians and bow

ment movement that has been going
on the past year among students and

in Montpelier. The writer's of the ep.
isodes were the Misses Gladys Martin,
Emma Fuller and Alice Waldo, Albert
Freeman. FRANKLIN Dwinell, William
Moore, Kenneth Harris and Victor
Smith. Between the scenes music was
furnished by the orchestra and a cho
rus directed by Prof. L.tJ. Halfway.
