pointment Until March.

The board of Selectmen Monday APP
pointed Frederic {. Adams, one of the
tcllers of the Peoples National bank,
town treasurer to succeed the late MILFORD
II. Bracket, who was cashier of that
bank. The appointment covers the pc
riod until the annual town meeting in
March, when a treasurer will be elected.
As Clarence f. Merrill of the BlattIe-
boIo Trust Co., son of \. +. Merrill of
the board of selectmen, was candidate
for the office, Mr. Merrill did not partici-
pate in the voting, leaving the choice of Il
treasurer to the two other members of
the board, Chairman w II. Stcllman and
\. w. J. Wilkins, AZ
The salary of the town treasurer is only
$50 annually, so that the office is not one
that appeals especially to an individual
but it is of more importance to the bank
represented by the treasurer. For this
reason Mcssrs. Stellman and Wilkins de
cidcd to continue the treasurership of the
town with the institution designated by
the voters at the beginning of the fiscal
year, until such time as the voters can
have opportunity to vote'on successor to

WILL BE NO EXTRA SESSION.
Legislature Will Not Be Convened for
the Present, Says Gov Gates - Pro-
vision for Dependent Families.

Gov. Charles w, Gates has announced
that he would not call special ses-
sion of the Legislature for the pur-
pose of providing compensation for
the Vermont National Guard and
their dependent families. .t
The governor s announcement of
his decision not to make the call is
as follows:
"Orders have been received from
the war department in the past few
days which have materially changed
the conditions relating to our Nation
al Guard. On account of this and of
the possibility of other changes
have decided after Il conference with
the acknowledgement not to call a
special session of the Legislature until
conditions shape themselves so clearly
that we may determine more accu-
rately just what action should be
taken. Meanwhile the needs of de-
pendent families of our boys are be-
ing nobly responded to by local re-
lief organizations. A list of these
families has been forwarded by
Colonel Reeves, and will be furnished

Mexico in a Good Position for Ap-

All differences between the United
States and Mexico will be settled in the
immediate future, it is believed in
Washington, through joint commits
sion.
No developments of Importance have
taken place on the Mexican border and
no news has come this week from Gen
eral Pershing's soldiers, who are in
camp several hundred miles south of
the Rio Grande.
Reports have been received of some
clashes between the Carranza forces
and the adherents of Villa, but these
We're little more than skirmishes. A
despatch yesterday from Galveston,
Texas, claimed that the capture of Villa
by cavalry of the de facto government
was hourly expected. This statement
was based on a despatch stating that a
Villa messenger, captured by Carranza
troops, had told of the hiding place of
the bandit chief and that the forces had
been sent to capture him.

the few days allotted to the sale. Any
one wanting tickets who has not al
ready signed a pledge for them should
secure them at once as no season tickets
will be on sale after Thursday, July 81,
