which means that If you hit n man in the
proper place he is bound TO take the count
But the hard part of 1t ia to hit that proper
spot
Saturday night at the National a. c. we
saw another quick and unexpected knock
out, one that was even more sensational
than JaCksons victory over Dundee. johnny
Cashill, clever, fast $50 FOUNDER, was
dropped for the court by Young Mahoney
virtually an unknown, in twcnty-three
seconds That's pretty fast work. and it is
doubtful If one half of the audience saw
tho final blow Cashill, however, was
clipped on the chin and was clipped on
the proper spot After that there was moth
ing to do but dive to the floor and stay
there. Johnny went out and never came
back.
Makes Game Effort to Arise
But no mar ever tried harder or made
n gamer effort to clear his bewildcrcd brain
or use his nearly parayzed muscles than
did Cashill. He evidently had just faint
idea of what had happened but he in
stinCtlvely knew that he had to be on his
feet before ten seconds had been tolled off
by Referee Jack McGuigan After he was
hit Johnny fell face downward to the cam
vas. but no sooner had he struck the floor
than ho tried vainly to arise At the count
of seven no was UP. but it had been SUI
preme effort and he fell again. Then Nc
Guigan stopped the bout St was knock
out.
The knockout punch was tho only real
one landed in the bout. Cashill jabbed
lightly to NahoneySs face, and when he
drew back his arm to jab again Mahoney
crashed his right against his adversaryS
jaw. The battle lasted only thirteen sec
Onds, rs ten seconds were spent on the
floor This looks like record in this town.
Charley Thomas unfortunately fouled
Sailor VollI in tho first round, but 1t was
an accident Thomas started right for
the body, but no slipped backward and
VolS was hit low MCCugan then stopped
the bout. AS a tribute to the fairness of
the fans we wish TO state that Thomas was
not jecred at or Kissed when he left the
ring.

DON'T BE BALD

Tells How to Make Hair Grow Thick
and Lustrous on Bald and Thin Spots.
Thousands of men and women are
growing bald every day and don't
know the reason why. This is indeed
a pity, says a hair specialist, who
states that badness usually comes
from carelessness.
The treatment is very simple; re-
move the dirt by shampooing every
ten days and destroy the dandruff
germs by frequently applying a little
of the real Partisan Sage, a most effic
lent preparation that the best drug
gists are now recommending as one
of the quickest and safest treatment
to surely stop itching scalp and fall
ing hair, remove all dandruff and to
properly nourish and invigorate the
hair roots.
Partisan Sage is also the disorimi-
mating woman's favorite hair dressing
because it makes the hair seem twice
as abundant and gives it a softness
and luster that compels admiration,
A generous bottle costs but little from
w. L. Gokay's, who guarantees it to
you.

The conduct of the imperial Ger
man government towards this govern

has been so discourteous, unjust, cruel
barbarous, and so lacking in honesty
and practice that it has constituted a
violation of the course of the conduct
which should obtain between friendly
nations.
The German government is actual
ly making war upon the people and
commerce of this country, and leaves
no course open to this government
but to accept its gauge of battle and
declare that state of war exists"

AUTOMOBILE BURNED
L. j. Eddington's Maxwell Car Con-
sideraby Damaged by Fire.

A Maxwell car belonging to l.. j
Eddington was considerably damaged
by fire Wednesday afternoon. About
o'clock Mr.. Eddington attempted to
back the car out of his garage in the
rear of the Methodist church and as
he started the engine the car caught
fire.
Fortunately there was not much
more than quart of gasoline in the
tank and there was not enough flame
to reach the garage ceiling above
which was stored about a ton of hay.
With the assistance OF William Ed
dington the car was moved out Of the
building as quickly as possible and the
fire was soon eXtinguished by shovel
ing dirt into the works.
In the meantime an alarm had
been run in but before any of the de-
partment apparatus arrived on the
scene the fire was out Had the gaso-
line tank been full it would have been
impossible for the two men TO move
the car. the building would have
caught fire and serious conilagration
might have resulted. There are sew
eral wooden structures in the i'm.

| WOMEN MUST MAKE
OUT THEIR LISTS
IMMEDIATELY
In Order to Vote at Annual Town
Meeting
NEED NOT OWN REAL ESTATE
Must Make Out a List But Amount Of
Tax Paid is Not
Material.
NEED NOT OWN REAL ESTATE

The women who are entitled to vot,
in town and village meetings and elec
tions Will have to get on the tax lis
which the listers are now preparing ol
they will find themselves shut out
The only chance to do it is during the
| present month and the first few days
in May.
The following letters from Mrs
Frances Wyman of Manchester and
State Tax Commissioner Charles A
Plumley seek TO inform the women
voters as to their rights and the way
to get on the list:
| Manchester Center, VT, April 2, 1917
Editor of the anner:-The Suf.
rage Bill which was signed by Cover
| nor Graham on March 30 is based up
on the theory that tax paying women
who are over twenty-one years of age
and under seventy-five should have
the same right as men to vote in town
meetings.
This law provides that from now on
any woman of the class indicated
above and who so desires may vote
in town meeting an dupon the ques-
tions there decided such as the ques-
tion of license, matters of school poll
cy, election of town officials, amount
of taxes, or any other matter which
shall be acted upon in town meeting. by
giving in a list for taxation purposes
the April before the town meeting at
which she desires to vote. Under the
law town meeting means city"
meeting as well as town" meeting as
we ordinarily understand it.
Women who now have a grand list
and pay taxes to the town treasurer
within the proper time are legal voters
To have q grand list upon which tax
is based woman need not own real
estate. She is not assessed poll tax
as is the case with men, so that if
woman desires to become a voter she
must see the listers on April first or
soon thereafter and give in for tax
alton purposes, any taxable property,
such as money for instance. If she
owns but a very few dollars she may
list that amount.
Thus practically every woman with
in the above age limit who is a citizen
of the state may become a voter if she
so desires She need only give a list
and pay tax if no more than ten
cents, for the size of the tax makes no
difference.
Certainly the splendid men of our
state have offered challenge to the
women to help in the conduct of town
affairs, Just as certainly we are in
terested and in these troublous times
desire to do our share. 1t has been
