HIGH SCHOOL PLAY
PLEASER LARGE AR

Last Monday night the high school
play. "A College Town" pleased both
the afternoon and night audiences.
So much In fact. that all we're firm In
their conviction that 1t Was the best
play that Montpelier had seen for
some time.
Those who handled the play were
much pleased with the players Of
forts and the desire they showed TO
emulate their efforts In the last play,
Every part was handled exception
ally well and every situation worked
so an TO please the audience the
most.
The costumes that were worn by
the players were furnished by the
Nose Lewis Department store and
the Three Rules Store. The school
appreciates greatly the loan Of these
garments and takes this opportunity
Of publicly thanking these stores for
the use OF the garments.
Altho the play was presented by
amateur players. II ranks much high
or than many Of the so-called profea-
sionRi plays that have been here this
year.

MINSTREL WON WAR MEDALS
"GusIar," by His Playing, Inspired His
Serbian Comrades to Brave
Deeds.

Six times wounded in the world war,
Peter Perunovic a Montenegrin, was
given permission to leave the army I'M
til he had completely recuperated from
his wounds. He felt the need of
long rest and decided to take it in an
extensive trip. The trip brought him
to Pittsburgh. and he is still in the
headquarters of the Serbian Orthodox
society, the Pittsburgh Post remarks.
Perunovic has in his possession two
medals, the medal of st. Sava and the
medal of Milos Obillis. They are gen.
orally given to Serb soldiers for valor
in the field. Perunovic did not win his
reward welding the sword. His in
strument is of a different nature. In
Serbia it is known as the "gusle."
Ages ago the wandering minstrel,
who sang stirring war songs as he
played on his instrument, was a figure
common to all lands. He has disap-
| peared from western civilization, but
| Serbia, Influenced by the East, with it's
| romance, has preserved him. His
"gusle" is similar in appearance to the
guitar, stringed, but played with a
bow, made usually of the twig of a
tree In the rough, as If broken off. Its
player is known as the "guslar."
Perunovic, according to Pittsburgh
Serbs who are acquainted with his ca
| reer, is known TO every soldier in the
Serbian army. For, SO the story goes,
| he has often been transferred from
one regiment to another, exposed to
greater danger, that the music from
his instrument might inspire his com.
| rades to brave deeds.

He Hit Something, Anyway.

A citizen OF northern Maine is a bit
sensitive on the subject of shooting
bears. He was employed one summer
to watch a lumber camp, a proceed
ing made necessary by Bruins fond
ness for the pork and molasses stored
there for winter use. The bears had
been more or less troublesome during
the summer, and the Waterman threat
ened the next one that came proving
about his camp with dire destruction.
One night he heard bear. He seized
his rife and fired. The bear fed into
the darkness, but a gug-gug-g egg be

Save Your Waste Paper.

Paper is so expensive these days, it
will pay YOU to save and sell it. The
February Woman Home Companion
says: Nowadays the economical
housewife should save all her waste
paper, for which she may obtain fair
price. Mans hesitate because buyers
demand that it be baled, but here are
directions for making simple baling
press: Procure large box, and length
, wise of the bottom cut slot 4 few
inches wide. Next, lay three or four
stout strings lengthwise across the bot
tenn inside. Have them a few inches
apart, parallel to each other, and long
enough to tie over the bale after the
box has been packed full of paper.
Having done this, provide lining of
4 old cloth, carpet or heavy paper, allow
ing the ends to extend over the box, as
was done with the strings. Each day
deposit your waste paper in the box
pounding it down occasionally to make
it compact. When the box is stuffed
full, draw the ends of the lining over
the top and fasten the strings secure
ly. The slot in the bottom of the boz
will enable You 10 force the bale on

MACHINE TOOLS IN JAPAN
Only Comparatively Recently Has That
Country Undertaken to Produce
Its Own Supply.

Japan has taken up the manufacture
Of machine tools seriously only within
the last ten years or so, and, according
TO alfred Herbert's Monthly Review"
little progress was made until about
four years ago, when the government
decided that it was time to encourage
domestic manufacturers, with the OBJ
ject of checking the flow of specie
abroad and of rendering the markets
less dependent on foreign supplies The
war has had a great effect on the de-
yelopment Of the industry, and as an
example of what has been done large
works, containing roughly 1000 engine
lathes, 800 capstan lathes and $50 drill
ing machines, were recently completed
within three months of the first or
ders being given out, over 90 per cent
of the machines being made in Japan.
In regard to methods of manufacture
jigs and fixtures are not used to any
great extent, and as most of the works
will accept any order that comes their
way within their capacity there is lit
/ tie opportunity for specialization.
