FRIDAY $500

The price of Summer Dresses,
Summer Skirts, Summer Coats
and Summer Suits is $500
Friday.
The Automatic Reduction Sale Of Sum-

the $500 price for Friday. In this sale
the price is reduced fifty cents day. We
started with $500 as the prevailing price
and have now reached the $500 stage.
And, Saturday it will be $3.50.
Fairness bids us say, though, that these
attractive summer garments are moving
briskly. Thus, those who wait from day
to day for lower prices take chances. Better
come tomorrow or what you've been plan
ming on may be gone.

Since the rainy days cannot be
avoided it is surely wise to find some
for a good purpose, and it is our bust
ness to find out what that purpose is,
and to make the best use we can of
these gloomy seasons. If we do not do
this we are wasting time and oppor-
tunity. AS time is about all we have
in this world that can always be turn
ed into tangible results, to waste any
of it would appear to be about the
most foolish thing that people can be
guilty of, speaking from an economi-
cal standpoint OF course, there are
more precious things than time, but
for practical purposes, for the gain
ing of results that may be counted or
measured, time is the all important
factor. But this does not mean that
we shall work hard every minute.
There are times when more is gained
by loafng and inviting the soul THAI,
by strenuous endeavor of mind or of
body. To economic time means that
we shall do things with a purpose.
Therefore, if we loaf, let us do so be-
cause we need to and want to and not
just because we are moping and don't
know what to do, with the day.
Rainy days are particularly trying
on young people. Their energies are
so great that they want to be up and
doing, and a long dull day indoors
wears them out But the rainy day is
the mothers golden opportunity to cul-
tivate the acquaintance and the conf
dence of the children. They grow up
so fast and get away from us before
we realize what is happening and too
often parents hearts are torn with
anxiety for their boys and girls be-
cause they will not give them their
confidence. How often the mother
must reflect if she reflects at all, and
regret that she did not make COM
panion of her children while they were
small and their little hearts easy to
open, that she overlooked the oppor-

FAIR STUDENTS IN PLAY
PRESENTED LAST NIGHT
IN AUDITORIUM AT THE AGRICUL.
TURAL COLLEGE.

A play of more than usuar interest,
and more especially to football en-
thusiasts, was that presented by fair
students of the Third District A and
NJ. College here last night and thor
oughly enjoyed by the appreciative
audience filling the college auditorium.
The plot was adroitly laid around a
game recently played upon the college
campus, the fair players impersonat-
ing very charmingly some of the more
prominent players of each of the con-
testing teams and in a manner which
won for them merited applause. The
entertainment last night was one of
the several pleasing features marking
the closing exercises of this excellent
school.

REUNION SONG.

Miss Julia Clay Barrow, a member
of the Fullow School faculty, has
written a clever song for the reunion
of the graduates of the Americas High
School at the High School auditorium
Dec. 80, 1914.
The words, which appear below, are
to be sung to the air America For
Me-" as it appeared in the Ladies
Home Journl:
We've passed through many places
Since last we gathered here
Ger shadow-lands and sunny strands,
With many smile and tear
We've passed by airy castles
In the dreamy heart of Spain,-
But we have journeyed home tonight
A courage new to gain.
CHORUS
o, We've come back to Furlow
days,
And it's kids Again" for US;
For we've remembered through the
years
Our dear Americus
In the Land of Youth We'll larry,
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne,
And carry back the glory
That made the old days shine!
o, Business is great thing!
There is magic in the sound;
And Money is the golden force
That makes the wheels go round.
o, we like to add our jingle,

But when it comes to living
Why, it's back to school again!

o, the Present Time is wondrous,
And the Future bright to vew-
But both the Wonder and the Light
We're built, old Past, on you!
Then here's to you, old School days,
From all your girls and boys
For your sky was full of rainbows
And your heart was full Of joys!

ON THE USE OF
RAINY DAYS

tunities that were hers in the days of
her childhood. After it is too late, we
would give anything IN this world if
we could know what lies in our chill
dren's hearts, whittier their lives are
drifting, and we have to own to the
sad fact that we have little power to
guide or would the lives of ocr sons
and daughters after they reach their
teens, unless we have previously es-
tablished cordial relations with them.
The only way to make sure of be-
ing on good terms with children is to
respond to their needs and to live with
them as friends from day to day. The
day of all days when this cordial rela-
tionship is needed is the day when it
rains and rains and rains. On such
days an ingenious mother will lay down
her own work and think up ways to
entertain her young brood She will
allow the boys to play Indian" and
romp through the house; she will
teach the girls to make candy, let them
cut paper dolls, dress as ladies and
have concerts or play games. She will
in short turn the home over to them
and strive to keep them busy and
happy, so that they will feel, whether
they tell her so or not, that mother is
jolly good comrade. Isn't it better
to give up whole days and the entire
house for the happiness of our child
rem than to spend the same time and
effort in the entertainment of a house
party? And isn't it better to have the
house Uttered from end to end than
you should fail to make your children
happy in their own home? Wouldn't
lot of the misery of later life be saved
if we could just remember that the
home is for the children more than for
anyone else on days when they can
not go anywhere else, and they should
have the full and unrestricted use of
1t.
For those who have no one looking
to them for entertainment or employ
ment, for those who have never had
any little folks to live and to manage

the result of dilatation of the heart.
A Caesarian operation consumed fif-
teen minutes. The baby was dipped
alternately in hot and cold water and
massaged for twelve minutes before It
showed signs of life. After that the
infant responded to treatment and in
short time was out of danger. The
child was normal and, weighed seven
pounds.

for or whose little people have grown
up and gone away. the rainy day is
bad one. So many memories crowd its
hours, and the hours drag SO slowly
unless they are employed. We, there
fore dread to see such days come.
Fortunately everyone has some task
that ought to be accomplished, some
thing perhaps put off for a more con-
venient season. The rainy day is the
time to do such things. Write the let
tiers that are overdue, tidy things up,
look over clothing that needs mending
or altering, clean closet shelves, in
other words, woman should do all
her odd jobs, or neglected jobs at the
time when she can feel reasonably
sure of not being interrupted. When
we get some disagreeable work done
which has been pricking our con-
science for sine time, we experience
a glow of satisfaction, and are thank
full that in this busy bustling age, we
have had one uninterrupted day.
But, if you are one of those jam-up
women who never neglect anything
and never have job left over from
week to week or month to month, the
rainy day is the time to give your
nerves a rest. You, Madam Punctual,
are entitled to a vacation with good
book and a coy seat by the fire, where
you will find a rainy day a most de-
lightfuy occasion.

ARMIES Use SKIS
IN THEIR FIGHTING

GENEVA, Dec. 1S.-With the arrival
of deep snow on the French-German
frontier, especially in Alsace-Lorraine
and the Vosges, the Alpine regiments
on both sides are now fighting on skis.
The Chasseurs Alpins, whose head
quarters in peace time are at Champ
nix and Grenoble, are at home on skis
and can travel long distances without
fatigue. Last winter a whole regiment
fully equipped climbed Mont Blanc on
skis, not man falling out of the
ranks.

A Short Session with Able Men

The declaration OF the state Repub
lican platform in favor of fiat sum
rs salary for members of the legisla-
ture is a step in the right direction.
but, Judging from the experience OF
New York and other states paying
legislators a stated salary. that propo-
sitlon would not wholly meet the pres
cnt needs of Vermont.
For decades adjournment by
Thanksgiving" was the dead wall
against which the Vermont legisla-
ture found itself hicnnially. and that
time honored custom served to dX a
wholesome limit to the duration OF
the legislative session until within a
comparatively few years. Recent leg
islative sessions have made Thanks
giving a halfway stop. Now that an
entirely sew situation viii confront
cur lawmakers with the change IN
date of the meeting of the legislature
under our amended constitution. IL
will be a favorable opportunity to in
trodnce q ncw orde- Of things.
The proposition 90 start out next
January with the idea OF limiting the
session Of the legislature to sixty days
is one that should appeal 20 every
legislator as Wen as every taxpayer.
Indeed since sugar-making and other
spring time pastimes in Vermont viii
engage the attention of no small part
of the legislature after the expiration
Of working session Of 60 days. il
ought TO be difficult to keep the so
Ions in the state capital after the cx-
piration Of the proposed time limit.
one Of the WAYS in which this pro
ioct to limit The session 10 go days
can be promoted is tn have important
measures ready Tor presentation at
