Biz Party Dedicated New Slab
Cottage Yesterday
CAUGHT IN A HEAVY SHOWER
Part of Party TraiIed Over knowlton
Hill to Little Pond For
Dinner.

Between 80 and 80 members and
friends enjoyed a days outing yester-
day at the campwarming of the local
section OF the Green Mountain club.
Automobiles began leaving the vii
lage at s o'clock, but because so
many more persons desired to make
the trip than were expected and plan
ned for, il was nearly II o'clock be-
fore the last load arrived al the camp
which is situated at Hell Hollow in
Woodford hayrack filled with
some of the younger people left about
$50. Each guest registered upon ar
rival and made an informal inspec-
tion of the camp and surroundings.
Tho camp register showed visitors
from North Bennington, SALISBURY
and Arlington, Port Chester, n. Y,
and Perth Amboy, n. j.. Montreal,
Washington, d. c.. and Paris, France.
The hiking party, composed of
about 60 people left camp for Little
pond at 1915, going over the Knowl-
ton Hill trail and arriving at the
pound around 1890 for lunch. Several
went in bathing but most of the party
were content in using the hour and
half spent at the pond in consuming
the generous lunches that all proyid-
ed. The return trip was made by the
larger portion of the mixers over Hag
ar Clearing and down the Long Trail,
some going down Bowles Hill and
Others continuing down Hell Hollow
while a number went back by way of
Knowlton Hill Whichever route was
taken none of the mixers escaped the
downpour of rain, which lasted near
ly an hour. 1t came in sprinkles, it
came in big drops and it came in
bucketfuls, hut it couldn't drown the
skirts and white shoes had the ap-
pearance of suffering the worst but
such wasn't really the case All were
wet and muddy but there was one
Khaki skirt, whose owner tried TO
roll down the last stretch of trail to
camp, that Jared far worse. Wheth
er it was the soft, rich looking EARTH
that tempted this individual to try
this stunt, or merely an accident, is
for her to tell.
Several took unexpected seats by
the wayside but nothing serious hap
pened to spoil the pleasure of the
hike. The rain was simply part of
the program and all took it good nat
uredly. Upon return to the camp,
all were glad to partake Of the dainty
lunch OF iced tea and waters that had
been prepared by the committee dur
ing the absence of the trailers.
During the day many enjoyed the
immediate surroundings Of the camp,
While others took short walks, sew
eral going to Old Glastonbury. The
entire party spent Il thoroughly en-
joyable day except for the unfortu-
nate accident which befell Ferdinand
Meyer. son of Rev w. f. Meyer In
attempting to climb tree while
waiting for the ride home, he step
ped upon a dead limb which broke
and the boy in striking the ground
broke his right arm at the wrist and
slightly sprained his left one.
The last auto load returned to the
village at $50 putting into history
the most successful excursion yet
held by the club.

A HEALTHY. HAPPY WEE

is the greatest inspiration man can
have and the life of the family, yet
how many homes in this fair land
are blighted by the ill health of wife
and mother!
1t may be backaches, headaches,
the tortres of displacement. or
some ailment peculiar to her sex
which makes life a burden. Every
woman in this condition should rely
upon Lydia Il. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound, made from roots and
herbs, TO restore her to health and
happiness.

London, Aug. 16--The left wing of
the Bavarian army under Prince Leo
pold has, according to the official Ber
lin report, fought its way across the
Bug river near Drohiezn which lies
east of Sokolow and some 80 miles
northwest of BrestsI4itoysk. This
move forms slight wedge in the
Russian front which had been virtual
ly straight since the Warsaw salient
was abandoned
Field Marshal Won Mackenzen also
is reported to be pushing back the
Russians along the Bug where the
Germans are advanced along the east
ern bank of that river. Farther west
Field Marshal Won Hindenburs is
the advanced defenses of koyno as
well as a successful attempt to break
the Russian lines between the NareW
and the Bug after the Norzew river
had been crossed by the Germans.
These formed the most critical
military movements of the day, but
they attract less attention here than
the diplomatic negotiations in the
Balkans where the crisis has not yet
been reached. The most significant
phase of today's news concerning the
near eastern situation was contained
in brief dispatch from Athens stat
ing that former Premier Venizelos
had won decisive victory over the
government in the organization of
the Greek Chamber of Deputies.
