At a recent meeting of the directors

tatiye schedule was formulated The
season will be opened at the Berlin
street grounds on Saturday afternoon,
June 20, by the Bonaceords and the
Rangers. The season will be prolonged
until the latter part of August or the
first of September. This season only
four teams have been entered in the cir
cult, although there is a possibility
that the Mortified football club will
send representation into the league.
The Vermont Football league was or
ganized in 1918 and in it's only season
OF existence has proved extremely popu
lar in this section of the state. The
Barre Rangers won the 1918 pennant.
This season the Green Mountain A. c.,
an organization that was composed
mostly of past masters OF the game,
has withdrawn from the circuit. The
club entered are the Rangers and Bon
accords OF Barre, the Barre Hill team,
an aggregation of players from Barre
town, and the Hardwick A. A. Every
club in the circuit is represented by the
best players obtainable This season
there will be merry race for the cham
pionship title as all teams seem evenly
balanced.

Ginghams are to-day slow sellers.
Other cloths have taken their place,
such as Endurance Cloth at the same

that the trade are using. They seem
to wear better, they are softer and
the trade likes them.

JOE'S RUBBER CAP

"You--iittle villain" snorted Joe. "I'll make you feel sorry for that!"
 But owen was ashore and running, with his clothes, to reach point Of safety. The other boys thought that 1t was good joke, and. after Joe was once ashore and drying in the sun. he laughed also and took 1t good-na- turedly.
 After all," he admitted, "the little fellow was clever. He certainly paid me back. But" he added. 'Tll sure get licked when I get home."
 Strange to say, however, Joe did not get licked. He found Owen waiting at his back door. and when Joe's mother saw her sons wet hair and was de- termined on punishing him, Owen pleaded Joe's cause and told her that when Joe threw him in the water his clothes weren't hurt any, and that 1t was all his own fault because he started 1t by tying Joes shirt in knots, and when Owen told about the rub Der cap, Joe's mother smiled In spite of herself; and owen pleaded so elo- quently that, although Joe's mother wouldn't promise not to punish the owner of the rubber cap, Owen made her promise to let him go swimming with the rest of the boys every hot day that summer. and there were many, many more hot days that sum- mer. And that's why Joe and Owen are the best of friends.

however, I think she bore 1t more bravely than I. As it was autumn. the leaves had fallen plentifu1ly and I scraped up a good pile of them and made her lie down. Despite the fright full noises, she fell asleep. I made my self a similar bed and also slept some, though I was most scared out of my wits.
 Did your papa and mamma find you. grandpa?"
 why. of course, here I am. They found us early the next morning after an all-night search. When we awoke Father and Mother were kneeling be. side us. My, but we were glad wher we saw them! But I will never forget that night. and I am sure my sister never forgot 1t as long as she lived" There were a few moments of si. lence. Then Alice said:
 Grandpa, I am so ashamed of cry. ing about that poem. If had knowr you were once lost in the woods your self, I wouldn't have cried about any one but you"
 Thank you, Alice" But tell me, Grandpa, if you had died in the woods. do you suppose the robins would have covered you with strawberry leaves?''
 Grandpa laughed long and loud.
 "There wasn't a strawberry leaf within miles of us. If the robins had wanted to bury us they would have had to do 1t with oak leaves"

N-no, Grandpa"
 Then what did happen?"
 Alice felt so ashamed that she strengthened up and brushed her tears aside, summoning a smile to chase the sobs away. though her voice still quavered.
 "Oh-Grandpa-tho babies In the woods-wasn't 1t awful? I-I--was just reading about them in that book"
 Grandpa looked at the open book and recognized the famous old ballad about the babes lost in the wood.
 My child" he said softly, as he took her on his knee. you're not the first child that has felt sorry for those children. I have, myself"
 Did it really happen, Grandpa?"
 That's what they say, Alice.''
 Think how dreadful 1t must have been. All alone-in a dark forest!"
 Alices sniff1es had almost ceased.
 What would you say, dear" Grand pa asked, ''if l should tell you that when I was little boy and my sister was a very little girl we spent a night alone in the woods?"
 "Oh. Grandpa, did your"
 "Yes, Alice.''
 'Oh, please tell me about it..
 Grandpa settled back in the big chair and fixed his eyes on the ceiling. as was his custom when telling Alice stories.

 In many respects these are both strange plants. The barrel cactus Is found growing at intervals on the sandy wastes. It has been likened to barrel in that it holds great quan- titles of water. despite the fierce rays of the sun that beat down upon it. Indeed, it Is said to contain so much of this liquid that 1t can live for years without rainfall. And men and horses drink 1t gratefully while traversins the blazing sands.

"A NEMONICS, as you know. is the art or science of artificial uu < memory, system of principles and formulas which assist the recol- lection in particular instances. That Is the "grown-up'' definition of 1t. In simpler language 1t means: when you want to remember something. think of something else that will suggest the first someting to you"
 Now little Mary was learning her alphabet--and she found 1t very, very hard to remember all the letters. Also, Mary's Mamma was a great believer in mnemonics. Little Mary. somehow, could reach the letter "g" without for getting-and then she couldn't, to save her life, remember the letter "h."
 Mary" said Mamma quite enthus- iastIcally, "after you have recited the 'g' think of gate. An 'h' looks something like gate. you see. so If you think of gate 1t will straightway suggest the letter h to you. Try it."
 Mary did. and with success.

scheme whereby he could keep his hair dry and thus fool his parents Shaking quarter from a rusty iron bank, he went to the dry goods store and bought a rubber-lined swimmina cap with which women keep theii hair from getting wet when bathing in the surf.
 "Is your mother going to the beach, Joe?" asked the clerk, politely.
 "Well-no = that is--heres your quarter" and Joe left the store with the precious cap under his arm.
 To the swimming pool he hurried as fast as his legs could carry him. He adjusted his cap with care, taking no heed of the fun the boys made at his expense.
 "I'll have to give you credit, Joe,' said Charley. You have a bright head on your shoulders-if you don't get 1t wet"
 But you oughtn't to disobey your folks like that, Joe" added Dwight.
 Well" replied Joe, when a fellow wants swim on hot, dusty day, what can he do? Sit around homo like an old maid and crochet?" And, making sure that his cap was tight, he dove off into the deepest part of the pool to test the water -proofness of his purchase. Climbing ashore, he took off the cap to examine his hair. He found 1t perfectly dry save for d small fringe at the base of his skull
 "Hurrahl' he shouted, Tit works fine!" Proud of his ingenuity he re- placed the cap and again dove into the water exultantly. Feeling happy and full of life he was soon splash ing around as big as ever.
 But little Owen had not forgotten. He could still remember the squashy sound of the mud and water in his shoes as he trudged home after his unprepared immersion at the hands of the older boy. He desired to have his revenge.
 Lets see how long you can hold your head under water. Joe," said Owen.
 All right, owen, old fellow" agreed Joe, having forgotten the incl dent of few days before. Ready count" and he plunged his head un- der the surface.
 "One-two = three = four." began Owen, but he never finished.
 Reaching under the water he grasp ed Joe's rubber cap and with firm pull jerked it from the owners head. Joe's hair was simply soaked!
 Up came Joe, angry and sputtering with rage. But owen was far out of reach, having pulled for the shore immediately after his exploit.
