IN HONOR OF ST. PATRICK
Large Banquet Held At Pythian Hall
Friday Evening.

Over 500 people attended the annual
St. Patrick's day banquet and concert
in Pythian hall Thursday night. Al
though all were fed the limited space
worked against good service and more
or less confusion resulted. Father
Dwyer in his opening remarks sug-
gested that the next St. Patrick's day
event be postponed to July 4th and
held on the Playground. The size of
the crowd and good feeling displayed
showed the popularity of this annual
event and although it may be post
poned there is little likelihood Cf its
being given up entirely. The tables
were decorated with yellow jonquils
and tiny pots Of shamrock while ha~ps
and shamrocks adorned the walls of
the banquet hall. Chicken pies in
abundance were furnished by the
ladies of the parish and the banquet
was built up around these.
The concert was varied and ex-
tremely well rendered. Miss Eliza
beth Peck gave an exquisite rendition
of Irish folk songs and her hearers
were reluctant to let her go, forcing
her to respond to several encores. For
the first time a st. Johnsbury audience
was privileged to hear Mrs Arthur
Liberty, who sang Mother Machree"
and "I Hear You Calling Me-" two
songs made famous by John McCor-
mack. That her offerings were wei
received was apparent from the ap-
plause and she was called back twice.
Other numbers were rendered by Wal
ter Cox, Miss Bessie McEncroe and
quartet composed of Misses Helena
Brown, Alice Roach, Angelina Stem
son and Mary Cox. The sympathy"
orchestra, under the direction of John
Pryor Cox elected both laughter and
tears from the crowd.

FIRST AID MEETING
New England Telephone Company
Men Gave Address Before Local
audience.

A company of about SO men attend
ed first-aid meeting at Odd Fellows
hall Thursday evening as guests of
the Passumpsic Telephone company.
Besides the employees of the company
there were present representatives of
the town and village officers, the elec-
trio companies at st. Johnsbury, Lyn-
donville and Barnet. and the officials
and foremen of E. & T. Fairbanks &
Co. The speakers were d. r. Hawley,
electrical engineer for the New Eng
land Telephone company, and DR.. E.
w. Bullock of Manchester, N. H.
Mr.. Hawley who has made extensive
investigation of the cause of accidents
gave a summarized report of the
causes and suggested ways to avoid
them. He said that the majority of
accidents of which record is kept are
of a minor nature and largely pre-
ventable. He referred to other large
Safety First campaign and as a re-
suit accidents to employees have been
reduced 70 per cent.
DR.. Bullock demonstrated the plac-
ing of bandages, splints and tourni-
quets, especially the Prone method,
and gave instructions as to the treat
ment of hemorrhages, shocks, burns,
fractures and sunstroke. He said that
the first requirement in an emergency
is a cool head together with a work
ing knowledge of the principles of
first aid to the injured. The telephone
company furnishes a Red Cross first
aid outfit to the various exchanges
and this talk would show the men how
to make the best use of it. The audi
ence listened withe the closest atten-
tion and speak with enthusiasm of the
practical benefit derived.

NO MAPLE SUGAR WAR
George C. Cary Not Selling Oil and
Standard Oil Is Not Buying Sugar.

NCOESO ~ SttHy NOI OCAAAlS O1 anu
Standard Oil Is Not Buying Sugar.
RumOrs have been current in this
section of Vermont for several weeks
past that the Standard Oil company
in an attempt to punish George c..
Cary the largest dealer in maple
sugar in Vermont, if not in the world,
for acting as manager of the indie
pendent oil concern in st. Johnsbury
known as the Crew-Levick company
was going into the maple sugar busi-
ness in Vermont and pay fabulous
prices to the farmers and put Mr..
Cary out of business. Knowing that
Mr.. Cary is not easily driven in his
business methods everyone was look
ing for sensational developments.
Inquiry of persons in position to
know the situation developed the fact
that the rumors are unfounded. Mr..
Cary several weeks ago voluntarily
resigned the management of the oil
company and it is now conducted by
the Philadelphia office with III. W.
Allen as resident manager. No trace
of an agent to buy sugar for the
Standard Oil company has been found
in Vermont and there is no evidence
they intend to enter the maple sugar
business here this season.
