For several days next week Barre will
have the privilege of entertaining the
Vermont State Sunday School associa-
ton, and inasmuch as each school is en-
titled to send delegates, it is probable
there will be several hundred visitors
in attendance, allowing for the usual
number of defections at the last minute
for various causes. The delegates viii
be entertained for the most part in pris
waite families, as is the custom of CON
ventions of that sort the people of the
community having generously opened
their homes for the purpose. Such hos
pitality no doubt will be appreciated By
the visitors, as will any provision made
for the enhancement of the pleasure OF
their stay in Barre. Therefore, let the
people of the community do what they
can to make the visit Of the delegates
and visitors to the convention all the
more pleasureable and to be remembered
with feeling of delight.

AN HONEST CANE YET.

There can be no accusation of dis
honesty or jockeying brought against
the kind of baseball as played in the
recent series between the Philadelphia
Athletics and the Boston Braves. The
two teams might have eonniyed with
their owners to prolong the series into
several extra games so that the clup
owners might reap rich harvest %
shekels therefrom, although the players
themselves would not, as far as surface
indications went TO show, receive any
further reward after the FIRST four games
were played. If the disposition had been
present. there was a fine chance to Jock
ey with the public. but there was no
jockeying -the series was closed up IN
the shortest possible time. -Four vic
tories were needed in seven games ~
