Vermont Editors Coming to Barton.

Editor Gilpin of this paper has in.
vited the Vermont Press association to
meet at Barton for its annual summer
meeting and outing, August 5 and
and it is expected a large representa-
tion of Vermont editors and their
ladies will be present. The outing
opens on the evening of Thursday,
August with a banquet at Hotel
Barton at which Ex-Lieutenant Govern
Or Howe, editor of the Bennington
Banner will preside. Among the
speakers will be Congressman Frank
l.. Greene. formerly editor of the st.
Albans Messenger and an honorary
member of the association; Arthur
Pratt Howard, the new editor of the
Advance and others. Frank o. French
of st. Jnhnsbury will entertain. On
Friday morning the delegation will go
to Willoughby lake by automobile and
spend the day there. They will dine
at Pisgah lodge and spend the day in
sports, and trip on the lake and other
recreation. On Friday evening the
association members will assemble at
the house of LIE Beau Lac Boat club
where a business meeting and social
dance will be enjoyed. This is an
opportunity for Barton to place itself
upon the map by showing the Vermont
quill pushers that we have live mod
ern town and that our people are
anxious to make strangers feel COM
Portable and at home. The impression
of town left upon the minds of all
these newspaper men is really of som e
Importance. State conventions seldom
meet here and now is good time to
show the newspaper men what we are
made of up here. Mr.. Gilpin is serv-
ing his second year as president of the
association.

an outing, is at Pisgah Lodge, Will

Barton parties who dined at the house
recently were charmed by it's neatness
and fine service.

Lands" sounds attractive, and with
Miss Marion Bickford and Miss Ger
trude Skinner, should be especially so.
Both Miss Bickford and Miss Skin
nef have given song and story recitals
here previously and this one at

August III, in which both these talent
ed artists appear. should bring very
large attendance.

The subject of the PASTORS ser mon
Sunday morning was "Appreciatlon'
taken from the story of the prodigal
son, making special mention of th-
elder brother. To do your best you
must put your mind on your work and
also love it. Duty has n5ver turne0
out a master workman. The maj;
who brings things to pass is the one
ho puts his heart ir to il. The pro- =
igal son is splendid picture of q Jd'e
love, but one virtuous man is bette
than all the prodigals 1t is when I
man is struggling that he needs th'
helpful word, not after he Is deac.
Do not criticize President Wilson
these are trying times tor him and h
needs your prayers. Ihe snarpest
critic singer meets is one VII COu.C
! not carry tune himself. Nothing
spurs a man to work like good whole
some praise. No one has ever beeu
spoiled by praise but many like the
e der brother have been en- oittered
by lack Of it. Jesus showed his ap-
probation OF everyone. Appreciation
lifting up of Jesus Christ and appre-
citation of our fellowmen.
Remember the prayer meeting
Thursday evening.
The concert Friday night was a de-
cided success. Every number on the
program merited special praise. The
society cleared $31.62 for the piano

interesting talk on the life of Samuel
Chapman Armstrong.
