An attempt was made to burglarize
the Readsboro postoffice Saturday night,
July rs, but the working of a burglar
alarm, which rings a bell in the post
masters residence, probably frightened
the person away, as the bell can also be
distinctly heard in the Office. An en-
trance was effected by the removal of
front window and several heavy blank
cts, stolen from the Davis livery stable,
found upon the postofice floor, gave evil
dence that it was the plan of the bur
glars to dynamite the safe. No booty
was secured.

Since the announcement was made

which will be held in the big Ken
nedy area at Windsor, October 27-30.
The committees having in charge
the arrangements have no purpose in
mind other than the encouragement
to be given all school and home agri-
cultural and industrial pursuits in
which boys aud girls are engaged.
And through the demonstrations to
be made along the line OF vocational
training it is hoped that all such in
terest in the state will be given new
impetus and that school officials and
paretns will come to approve of such
work being taught and extended over
the state
The response from school officials
to cooperate in the undertaking has
been very general and many schools
plan special demonstrations of their
work along vocational lines.
Competition is open TO both indivi-
duals and institutions, the age limit
being placed at 10 and q years. re
spectively.
Classes for which attractive prizes
are offered include baked goods, GOV.
ering wheat and graham bread, rolls.
cakes: canned goods, covering tree
fruits. berries, jellies, vegetables;
clothing, washable and unwashable
dresses, shirts, waists, home furnish
ings, sofa pillows. table runners, darn

farm topics Maple products and hon
ely. live stock, poultry, miscellaneous
pets.
