Our line of Wash Goods is
away ahead of our advertising
on this line. We cannot tell
you half plainly enough just
how nice a line we have. After
going over the New York mar
ket this week, we are very
much pleased with our early
selections.
Wish that we could take every one

we sec them-could see what is COM
ing in a very few weeks, that you,
here at home, can hardly realize.
When we say plan early purchases,
we mean Just what we say. If you
were in New York, You would know
now. Here in Vermont, where we
have anticipated conditions, you can
buy at old prices. Very soon we, too,
will have to take our turn.

HOME DEMONSTRATION
WORK WIkL SOON BEGIN

Mrs. Gertrude Davis. selected as
Home Demonstration agent in Ellis
county, has completed a three weeks
course at the College of Industrial
Arts and received a certificate in
canning club and domestic econom-
les, and will arrive home tonight
to begin active work in this county.
Home economics is sadly neglected
in Ellis county and it is believed
that Mrs. Davis will during the COM
ing year pave the way for a most
important work along this line Her
first efforts win be among the girls
of the county, teaching them how to
cultivate and can vegetables and
fruits. Following this she will go
into the home and show the farm
women and town women how to en-
ploy labor saving devices.
1t is expected that the canning
club work viii start at once as the
time is near at hand when the girls
should have their lands prepared
and seed planted for the garden veg
etables, Further announcement will
probably be made by Mrs. Davis
early in next week.

Had Left the Screen Open TO Allow

ing the Night.--Negro
Half Way In.

Mrs. Fannie Shippey had use for
the pistol that occupies q place un-
der meath her pillow at an early hour
when she felt the presence of some
one and opened her eyes TO see Il
burly, big negro halfway in the win
dow at her bedside. Mrs. Shippey
lives on College street and Mr.. and
Mrs. j. w. Roberts occupy part Of
the building. Mrs Shippey sleeps
down stairs and has been in the hab-
il of leaving q window screen I'M
locked in order that pet cat may
get out of the room She had been
up a greater part of the night last
night with her son and was only doz-
ing at an early hour when she be-
came conscious of the fact that some
one was near. She opened her eyes
and saw a negro, big black one, who
had raised the screen and was lean
ing into the room. She grabbed for
her pistol as the negro let the screen
slam, and fired two shots through
the screen as quickly as possible,
but the negro was too quick for her
and made good his escape.
Mr.. Roberts, who rooms upstairs,
was aroused by the shots and ran
down to her assistance, but the ne
gro had gotten away leaving only a
few tracks about the yard to indi-
cate his presence. Mrs. Shippey says
the negro was big one, wore strip
ed trousers and held black hat in
his hand.
Officers are looking out for sus-
'picious negroes, and people viii lock

1t is a Joy to remember the noble,
the kind, the warm-hearted-t
who have endeared themselves to us
by their gentleness and the annie
ableness Of their character. Such 2
one was my friend, Mrs Virginia T.
Walker, who departed this life on
Sunday morning, January 16, 1916.
The habits, the feelings and the
disposition OF Mrs. Walker were so
gentle and so ennobling that they
win secure an affectionate remem-
brance in the hearts of her many
friends
Surely these noble lines could be
said of her, "The first emotion OF
pain she ever caused was caused by
her departure.
Her life was one of thoughtful
ness for her loved ones, and her
greatest ambition was to live to care
for the afflicted companion that he
might have the love of her gentle
ministrations TO comfort him.
The devotion of this aged couple
shed halo Of happiness upon all
who visited them. Often as | have
come away from an hour spent in
this home, and have seen the salts
faction of well-spent life beaming
from the face of this devoted hus-
band and that of his dear wife these
lines have been forcibly impressed:

Our times are in His hand

AUTOMATIC BASEBALL
LATEST FAD TO ARRIVE

Another sport fad has hit the National
Capital and hit It hard. Automatic base
ball Is the latest craze to make It ap-
pearance and from the Interest being dis
played at the Avenue Baseball Park, on
pennsylvania avenue, between Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets, where it has been
installed, 1t seems destined to become
one OF the most popular Of indoor sports
Several teams have already been
formed and have played match games
but to add to the interest of the sport It
Is proposed to organize leagues from vari-
Gus walks Of life, such as bankers. high
school students. employees of commercial
houses, government employees, those from
the graded schools, Fairgrounds, clubs
and others. The sporting department of
The Washington Herald is already in re-
ceipt OF several communications from
teams desiring to join or organize a
league and any team desiring to Join
or organize a league should write to the
sporting department for full information.
This new fad has taken with the base
ball fans, inasmuch as It can be played
by either young or old, and the exertion
necessary in a regular baseball game is
not required, such as the fielding of the
ball and running of the bases, yet at
the same time the beneficial results OBJ
tained in swinging at the ball are Just
the same and the practice which a player
gets Is practically the same as he would
get upon an open field.

WESLEYANS ARE READY
FOR HILLTOP ELEVEN
West Virsinians Will Send Crack-a-jack
Team Here to Play Georgetown.

Buckhannon, Nov L-For the third time
In the history of football at Wesleyan the
Orange and Black will next week meet
Georgetown University on the latter's
field on the Hilltop at Washington, d. c.
The first meeting between the teams was
In 1913. when Wesleyan sneaked into
Washington and beat the Blue and Gray
team by a score OF 1916. At that time ].
8. Kellison. Wesleyan present assistant
coach. was playing at right tackle, and
displayed a fine brand of the great Amer
lean game on the defense, In addition to
kicking a goal from placement.
Greasy" Neale, Wesleyan present head
coach, was, however, a much bigger fac
tor in the result, receiving two forward
passes that each netted a touch down,
and throughout the game being SO con-
spicuous that he was at that time hailed
as one Of the best ends ever seen in WASH
ington.
Saturday Neale and Kellison viii again
travel to Washington, this time in the
capacity of coaches. bHt at the same time
they will have in tow no less than six
veterans OF the 1913 battle, namely. Vance
at guard, Morrison at end, Allen at tackle,
Capt. Miller at quarterback, Shumakes
at half-back, and Jacobs at the other
half-back. All these five contributed in
no small measure to Georgetown's defeat
in 1913 but again in 1914 their efforts failed
to avail them anything. Georgetown get
ting even with the Orange and Black by
administering a 80 drubbing
