CHESTER,


Elsewhere in these columns you will
read how the boys are planning to
journey to Chester. A finer oppor-
tunity to learn something about the
state was never offered the fellows.
For three days there will meet to-
gether many fine lads from hundreds
of hamlets far and near. IL they make
the trip our boys will rub shoulders
with the future leaders and men of
the commonwealth. What wonder
full socialzing influence a conference
of this kind must be! If we but had
the gift of prophecy and could peep
into the future to Learn whether
among our present delegation state
representatives and senators are to
be chosen. This is the first time an
attempt has been made to haue the
town of Barton represented at con-
ference of the Older Bcys of the
Green Mountain state. The fellows
are enthusiastic over the prospects Of
going, not only because the confer
ence will mean much TO them educa-
tionally, but because they aspire to
have Barton represented at such an
important gathering.
The following are some stories of
the fire that were written by grade
pupils, who "skipped" school to watch
the excitement. They are printed ex.
actly as written with original spelling,
capitalization, grammatical construc-
tions, etc.
''When I was coming to school
Wednesday afternoon l heard the
fire gong blow. and saw the people
going that way and of cource | went
to. | went across the lots and got
their before most of the people and we
helped them lug away the things that
were in the Barn floor, [ stood around
and looked on till they called for bords
to prop up the barn floor and we helped
carry them in. | heard the high school
boys say that there would be no school
for the grades were dismissed and sc
did not hurry about coming back but
when we was coming NJ and nv
self, we saw the 9th and 7th grades out
on the lawn and so thought that there
would be no school and came down anC

secession. We all know now that we
aught not to have gone but come
straight to school. Because they couIc
put the fire out without US I imagine
| and it would be better for US because
we would loose just so muck KnoWl

Here is another: "wednesday af

AT THE IlASAIIE.

Todays feature at the LaSalle is
the celebrated Mary Pickford picture,
Such a Little Queen. Mary Pick
ford is the most beloved of all motion
picture stars and makes the greatest
impression on her illustrious career in
Charming POllock's famous play of
comedy and sentiment. Such a Little
Queen" IS produced in five reels by
the Famous Players Film Co. The
basic theme OF the play Is the eXpe-
rtence of a young queen eXiled by rea-
sons of political dissension in her own
kingdom, who finds a refuge in Amer
icH. The little queen proves that there
is not much real difference between
royalty and the common people when
they are wrecked by the buffets Of cir
cumstances. For sheer charm of
story, quaintness and daintiness of the
central character, honest sentiments
and thrilling truths, this current pro-
duction of the Famous Players Film
Co. is one of the gems Of the present
season. The king Is impersonated by
Carlyle Blackwell, who supports Lit
tie Mary admirably.
On the same performance will be
seen a Joker comedy, Two Of a Kind,
Sunday will show the second Install
ment Of the serial story which is now
running in the Sunday edition Of The
News-Times. Runaway June. It is
without doubt George Randolph Ches-
ter's greatest serial, and the pictures
at the LaSalle are attracting wide at
tention. On the same bill will be seen
Captain of Villany." a two reel sub
ject, featuring Warren Kerrigan.

REVIVAL SERVICES AT
FIRST BAPTIST END
Past Summers and Lost Harvests
Subject of DIR. \. vi.
Bailey.

"The Past Summers and the Lost
Harvests' was the subject of the ser
mon preached by Rev. A. NJ. Bailey,
conducting revival services for the
past three weeks at the First Baptist
church. This sermon was the last Of
the series and was considered the best.
Opportunities that have been given
a man and he has not taken them In
the past are gone forever, the same
chances will never be given him again.
'In literature, poetry, and prose we
find statements which say that there
is time in the life of each individual
that if taken in the right way will
lead TO prosperity and if the oppOrtun-
ity is not taken the man is lost"
The Bible and other references were
given by Dr. Bailey to show the truth
of this statement. AS an illustration
he said, "A certain woman who had a
cancer waited two years and then
went TO a doctor to have il cared for
and he told her that she was just two
years late and therefore was lost. She
waited and had not taken the oppor-
tunity that was offered her when she
had seen the cancer in its infancy and
now il was too late"
OF the three weeks revival there
have been 100 people signed cards and
a large number of them will join the
church.
Special music has been furnished by
the Linden quartet and the choir and
sOloists Of the city.

CLAIMS SHIP IS
GERMAN PROPERTY
Note From Sir Edward Grey
Emphasizes England'S Atti-
tude towards the Dacia-
Crew May Be Held.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ga ccm-
munication from Sir Edward Grey di-
rect TO the state department Friday
made Great Britains hostile attitude
towards the Dacia palmer if possible
than the statement Of facts given out
Thursday night at the British en-
basSy.
The main points in Sir Edward s
communications are substantially the
same as those paraphrased Thursday
night for the press by Sir Cecil Spring
Rice the British ambassador
State department officials took
special note Friday of the phrase of
their declaration and its important
variation from previous official pro-
nouncements Of the British govern
ment on the seizure of ships.
The officials realize that Great
Britain may capture" the vessel as a
prize of war because she still regard.
the Dacia as the property in INSULT
cient degree at least of Germany. She
might however, merely seize the YES
sci as other seizures have been MADE
within the past four months and re
lease both the cargo and the crew.
one of the officials said FriCay
night that il was problematic what the
English view would be as to the de-
tention or release of the crew. He
said that the case would be different
from any other which has arisen, be-
cause the United States had been Of
ficially warned by Sir Edward Grey
and by Sir Cecil Spring Rice that they
would regard the DaCia as in some
manner yet underlined. the property
OF the enemies of England.
This official thinks that the Brit
ish foreign office might take the view
that the crew ought to be held. This
would make the Dacia case one of far
reaching Importance, as the seizure of
the Green Brier has become, because
of the allegation that the American
flag on the Green Brier suffered an
affront.
Several officials at the department
commented privately Friday on the
view Of John Bassett Moore printed
Friday in which he declared substan-
TALLY that the present methods OF
dealing with captures by courts in the
English fashion and the placing OF
contact mines in commercial waters
we're wholly indefensible. There was
an agreement with views of the for
mer counselor by those officials, but
Secretary of State Bryan would not
discuss Mr.. Moore's proposition.

SUCCESS OF CHURCH
DUE TO MEMBERS
Saved Should Work to Save Those
Who Are Not, Says DIR. James
Il. Gardiner.

THE problem OF the church today
is to get a saved man 70 go out after
an unsaved man and lead him to the
church" said Rev. James L. Gard
iner. d. D, pastor Of the st. Pauls
church, last night at the regular
meeting Of the Young Mems Bible
class at the Y. M. c. A. He spoke on
The Personal Emphasis Of Christi
anity."
Christianity is a means of indi-
vidual work. Life itself is an indi-
vidual matter; death is an individual
matter, as is the final judgment
Winning souls to Christ is a personal
matter to be worked out on each per-
son in a different way. The biggest
man in the church is not the big
lnancier. the man who utters the
most prayers, but the one who does
the most personal work for the
church
Qualifications that a man must
use in winning a soul 10 Christ are
experience, tact faith and the stay
ing quality.
"A man selling coffee must know
what he is selling before he can make
n success. II he goes to a house and
says he don't know how the coffee is
as he has never tasted II, the pur-
chaser Will not buy. where If he says
that from experience he knows that
il is a good brand he Will sell a great
amount and will thereby accomplish
his purpose. The same is true Of a
man who is Tying 20 win a soul to
Christ. If he cannot give his personal
experiences to show the value OF be-
ing a Christian ne will not be sue
cessful.
The man TO be a faithful worker
In the church must be filed with the
spirit OF Christ If he wins. A man to
save a soul must have faith I'm God
In the man he would save and in him
self. I believe in this method OF saw
ing because all Of the saved people
OF the church can work at it and all
of the people OF a community can be
saved by it."
