Rev. and Mrs. J. T. Littlejohn

noon and remained until Monday
morning, being guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. B. Cogbn,n. Mr.. Little

mons in the Baptist church, Sunday
morning ard evening. He came to
the Edgefeld association 10 years
ago and has done very effective
work all these years in the western
portion of the county. At present
Mr.. Littlejobn is pastor of Red
Hill, Republican, Rehoboth, An

Death Of Little Babe.

Almost before Mr.. and Mrs. J.
n. Cantelou had ceased to receive
the congratulations of their friends
over the birth of their little son his
epotless spirit was waited TO the
bosom of Jesus by ministering an
gels. Monday afternoon the little
form was tenderly placed in grave
near that of the lamented DR.. ]. w.
Hill. The parents whose heart strings
had already become entwined about
the little babe have the comforting
assurance that their little one is in
the Heavenly home with loved ones
gone before and will not have to
undergo the crosses, trials and
bufetings of a cold, selfish, un-
sympathetic world. 4.,i.:5

A Thanksgiving Thought.

Though war in Europe has hurt
US somewhat financially, how pro.
foundly thankful we should be that
we are spared from the bloodshed,
pillage, ruin and heartbreak that
have blighted countless thousands
of homes in Europe. How CRATE.
full we should be that not one soul
Lere faces the starvation which
menaces thousands there.
Even in the matter OF financial
gains we should count ourselves
blessed. Tie fact in a nutshell is
that long series of fat years, to-
gether with more diversified farm,
ing, have enabled our farmers to
hold cotton for better prices, and
this holding has now forced cotton
up from five and six.cent figures,
until actual quotations show it is
today only cent and half lower
than three years ago. Three years
ago this week The Progressive Far
mer quoted middling at 8 SO cents
a pound, while as we write this the
same market pays Z l-s cents--ex.
actly within l l-2 cents Of 1911
prices, while our crop may be al
big as then.
Let us thank God and take
courage.

Help the Red Cross.

The following letter is self-ex-
planatory and will make clear to
those who read in just what way
the Daughters of the Revolution
are expected to contribute in the
present war crisis. All contributions
are to be in cash, and distinctively
for the Red Cross. This does not in
any way conflict with the funo for
the Belgian sufferers, which is an
equally as worthy cause, but gives
The national d. A. r. an explicit
channel for their gifts under the
direction of the government Of the
United States. All contributions
may be handed to Mrs. n. B. Hol
lingsworth local treasurer. The
people at large, as we'll as the d.
A. II. are asked
to contribute to this fund.
My dear fellow members: Real
izing that every member of the ma
tional society, Daughters of the
American Revolution, is eager to do
all in her power to alleviate the ter
rible suffering caused by the hor-
rors of war, and also to show her
patriotism in carrying out the wish
es of the president of the United
States at this crisis, l wrote to him
asking how the resources of the So
ciety might be best applied. / have
this day in personal interview with
the president ascerlained that in his
estimation the Red Cross, the gov
ernment's authorized channel, will
be the most effective medium
through which the Daughters of the
American Revolution can best serve
humanity. I am therefore calling
upon you, my dear Daughters, to
show by your deeds thai we are
worthy of our ancestors, and of the
confidence expressed by the presi-
dent of the United States in our
ability.
Each state regent is requested to
consider herself the chairman of
her state, and each chapter regent
the chairman of her chapter, to
raise funds which should be sent as
fast as obtained directly to the
treasurer-general. N. S. D. A. K.
Mrs. Joseph f. Ransdell, Memorial
Continental Hall, Washington, D.
c., who will at once transmit the
funds to that branch of the Red
Cross where it is most needed, un-
der the direction of the government
authorities.
Let US unite in one grand effort,
working together in friendly rival
ry, without regard to any former
differences, and contribute as BELTS
the greatest body of patriotic wo-
men in the world, the Daughters of
the American Revolution.

INDIGESTION OVERCOME
Overcome by Simple Remedy

Hurried and careless habits of eating,
irregular meals and foods that do not
harmonic, tend to weaken the digestive
organs and result in different forms of
stomach trouble.
If you are one of the unfortunates
who have drifted into this condition, eat
simple foods only, slowly, regularly, and
take Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic.
Mrs. H. j. Smith, Townsville, Ca,
says: 81 suffered from stomach trou-
BILE, was tired worn out and nervous. A
friend advised me to take Vinol. My
stomach trouble soon disappeared and
now | eat heartily and have a perfect
digestion. and / wish every tired, weak
woman could have Vinol, for | never
spent any money in my life that did
me so much good"

PATTERsoN'S SIDE
Is Given by Another Citizen il
Ward 2.

Editor, Barre Times: In the letter
signed "Voter from Ward Two" criti-
cising the record of Mr.. Patterson as an
formed as chairman of the finance and
street committees, are statements not
based upon facts, and are untrue. 1t
seems foolish to answer the same, but
it leads the writer to investigate and,
in justice to Mr.. Patterson, to state the
facts as they are, which is a matter of
record.
He was appointed under Mr.. Thurs
tons administration, chairman of the
finance and water committees. During
this year in the way of progressive leg
islation, through his efforts, the improve
ment of Elmwood cemetery was made,
the park commission was established,
the widening of Washington street was
ordered, and under him as chairman,
the water department paid the largest
surplus in the history of the city.
In the way of finance last year, under
$2.35 tax rate, all bills were paid and
over $4,000 left in the city treasury.
During this year about to be closed, he
was made chairman of the finance and
water committees. Under Mayor Ward,
as chairman of the finance committee,
through his efforts, higher tax rate
was paid on the sinking fund, by which
the city saved in three years $780,
Twelve thousand dollars was placed in
the sinking fund, $4,000 paid on the
bond issue of the city, over $4,000 paid
to complete the paving job; this was
done under $2.25 tax no cents lower
than last year, and instead of increas-
ing the debt on the part of the city
council, it was lowered.
1t has been explained in The Times
several times that the increase in the
city debt referred to by "Voter from
Ward Two" was voted by the people,
when ordering the construction of the
North Barre schoolhouse, and cannot be
laid to the city council. If the "Voter
from Ward Two" has not yet learned
this, he is a very poor student of the
city affairs. This is also shown by his
communication in yesterdays Times,
which was untrue and misleading, either
Intentionally or through ignorance OF
facts.
As chairman of the street committee,
through his efforts many Improvements
of permanent nature have been made,
viz: The paving job sidewalks on
Liberty and Orange streets, in front of
browns and Reynolds stores, and in
front Of Trow & Holden's works, but
refused to spend $500 for sidewalk to
A large job of surface sewer
on Liberty and Hill streets, which will
in years to come save the city a large
amount of money.
BY way of his management, the fire
was made to save over ST.
GOO for labor performed this year. With
this record placed before the people of
a man who has had six years experience
on the city council, one who under all
conditions has worked for the best in
terests of the city, as against man
who has been resident and taxpayer
here for only two years, you are to de.
eide next Tuesday by your vote.
Vote for Patterson.
Citizen of Ward Two.

Game to the End.

The question is not whether | am go
ing to get well, but rather If ! am going
to live up to ideals for dying gamely,
which are just as helpful to the race as
living bravely. Robert Bremner.
That quotation is from the last in.
terview granted to the press by the
Congressman from the seventh district
of New Jersey. who passed Thursday
from bed of suffering in Baltimore to
the realm where there is neither pain
nor the sorrow OF parting.
He met death, as he had wished to
meet it, calmly and courageously.
Mr.. Bremnef was a victim of can
Ger, and the fact that radium was used
unsuccessfully in his case as last re-
sort in an effort to stay the progress OF
the disease, which had run its course for
four long years, will probably arouse
again the discussion of the value OF the
new treatment.
Those who know most about it have
never advocated it as general substi-
tute for the knife when the knife could
be used
DIR. Kelley, under whose charge the
Congressman was in the last days, has
declared that raGium is by no means a
solution of the cancer problem; that the
solution is surgical and lies in early
recognition of the malady while it is
still purely local and insignificant in
extent; that while radium is extremely
beneficial in many cases, it only extends
the field of cure.
Isn't that plain enough p Boston

A New Trial for Becker.

On July is. 1912, Herman Rosenthal
was murdered in New York under cir
cumstances too well known to need re-
view. On July 20, Lieut. Charles X.
Becker was indicted for the crime. His
trial, characterized by the overwhelming
concmsiyeness of the testimony and the
unusual personnel OF the Jury, ended in
conviction of murder in the first de-
gree on 0st a. A week later Becker
was sentenced to electrocution in
March, 1913
The expeditiousness which marked
trial was in contrast to the subsequent
procession OF legal devices to thwart the
ends Of justice These efforts have now

and $50 days after the sentencein the

1t may not be fitting for the layman
to dissent from the finding of the learn
ed Judges OF the New York court OF APP
peals. 1t is. however, just the position
that several million persons will take.
For of Becker's guilt there is not, in the
court of public opinion, the slightest
shadow of doubt. That his four accom-

HELD COURT ALFRESco.
To Accommodate Two Aged Women Re-
spondents at Montpelier.

Because of the advanced age of the
two respondents, Judge Harvey of Mont
pelier city court "held court" in the open
air at Montpelier yesterday afternoon,
standing before the sleigh in which the
two women, charged with selling liquor
Illegally, were brought to him by Deputy
Sheriff H. G. Lawson. One of the wom-
en-, Mary Lotti, is said to be over Is
years old and the other, Egarcia Ala, is
considerably advanced. Bail was fixed
at $500 in each case and the cases against
the two women were continued. They
brought the number of liquor charge
prosecutions to ID, as the result of an
inquiry several weeks ago.
George H. Hill, who was arrested yes
terday afternoon near the Montpelier po-
lice station, pleaded guilty to a subse-
quent offense and was given 80 days
straight in Jail.
