FIND SANDS AT
 CORDOVA HOT
Mystic Shriners Hold Forth in Can hing Metropolis for
 "Unwashed"

A caravan of Shriners from Nile Temple, NobleS of the Mystic Shrine, Seattle, arrived in Cordova Wednes- day on the steamer Admiral Evans, to put on a ceremonial. The caravan was headed by Past Potentate John Rex Thompson, accompanied by Past Potentate and Illustrious Recorder Frank B. Lazier, J. P. O'Hara and Thomas McLauglin. Mrs. Lazier and Mrs. McLauglin were also of the wis ting party.
 It had come to the knowledge of the illustrious potentate of Nile Temple that a number of ''unwashed, unregen- crate sons of the desert" in the oases of Cordova, were clamoring for ad- mission within it's gates, so the cara van was sent to escort them to the Holy City of Mecca, and to prove to them that the sands of Cordova could be just as hot as in the heart of the Arabian desert. The time set for the ceremonial was that evening, and the time was short to prepare for it, but the caravan was ready.
 The following novices salammed be- fore the prophet, saluted the black stone of Mecca, drank from the well of Zem Zem, partook of the feast of figs and dates, and came forth full fiedged nobles of the Mystic Shrine: William Edward Brown, Harold Chad wick, Archibald McNellage Field, John Gillis, Brady Howard, Thomas Middle ton Hunt, John Andrew Johnson, c. Kitsman, Oscar Ludwick. Larson, Hi- ram Battnel Malcolm, Edward Francis Medley, Oscar Charles Meyer, Clyde Arthur Nettleton, John Henry Sellen, Henry A. Slater, Floyd John Smith, James Smith, John J. Strigsve, Ivan H. Suphellen, Theodore c. Thisted, and Maurice s. Wilson.

ADDING TO THE JOY OF LIFE

HonorS have come to our fellow townsman, which we wot not of, ac- cording to information through the agency of friend Charles Herron's most illustrious publication up Ie h. let. Says Charles:
 "J. Lindley Green, of Cordova, bank examiner for the Third district, ac- companied by his daughter, Dorothy Green, will arrive on the steamer Ad- mira Evans tomorrow morning. Mir. Green is coming to examine the ac- counts of both local banks and will be here several days between boats"
 Of course there is no J. Lindley, of Cordova, and our J. Lindley is not the bank examiner, but pShaw, why crab about a few facts when it's among friends. But just between ourselves, can you fathom the cause lying be- hind the last two words of the para graph. Why should he specify "be- tween boats"? Is it necessary thus to qualify ones stay in the fair me tropolis of the upper country? Boats are the only way out at this season of the year, the railroad not being completed. But why rub it in or call attention to the fact that it might have read "between tides" or forsooth "between barges," and, alas, that other season so soon upon him when it must have read "between sleds."

WORLDS BUTTER RECORD.
Holstein- Friesian Association Receives
News of Cow Making SO Pounds But
ter in Seven Days.

The Holstein- Friesian cow, Scgis
Fayne Johanna 11465S, owned by Oliver
Cabana, ir., of Elma Center, n. Y, has
just broken the world IS record for but
ter production for seven days by max
ing 722 pounds of milk and 4O.544
pounds of fat, equivalent to 50.6S pounds
of butter. Notice of this record was
received Monday at the office of the
Holstein- Friesian association.
This cow displaces in the list of high
producers for seven days the COW, Hes.
ger Aaltje Korndyke l33o22, which re.
Gently made a record OF 62l.l pounds of
milk containing 1888 pounds of fat,
equivalent to i6.7SG pounds of butter.
The news of this great record comes by
preliminary reports from the Office of
the superintendent of advanced registry,
Malcolm Ii. Gardner of Delavan, Wis.
This record, which seems almost incred.
ible, is the largest ever made by
any cow of any age or breed in the
world, so far as has been reported.
Mr.. Cabana, the owner of this COW. is
the man who purchased at a public sale
early in 1915 the Holstein bull, Rag APP
pie korndyke Sth, for $4,000 and who
ever since has been making remarkable
records III his herd at Elma Center. He
already has four other cows with records
OF over 40 pounds of butter in a week

ST. JoHNSBURY LAD SHOT.
Franklin Carpenter, 16, Killed Himself |
with a Borrowed Rife-Parents Are
Mystifed.

A strange shooting occurred in st.
Johnsbury Friday which cost the life
of Franklin Carpenter, l6, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles W. Carpenter.
The boy ate his dinner with the fam
lily and then went to the rear of
the house to shovel snow. When his
mother went to call him for school she
saw her son standing in the snow with n
rifle pressed against his right side and
cried out i'll alarm. She rushed out
of doors, but before she reached the
boy he had fallen. He spoke but once
after she reached his side, pronouncing
the single word "help.' Mrs. Carpen-
ter heard no report and is not certain
whether the shot was fired before she
saw him from the window or after.
A physician was summoned, but the
boy was dead when he arrived. The
bullet had passed through his liver
and the doctor stated that death was
probably almost instantaneous.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carpenter are mysti
fed over the shooting. They did not
know the boy had any worries and
it was stated at st. Johnsbury, where
he was student, that he had had nc
trouble at school. His parents did not
know he had rifle in his possession, he
having borrowed il from ncighbor s
son. They are inclined to believe the
shooting was accidental.
The boy was member of the South
Congregational church, was a Boy Scout
and member of the choir of the church
Besides his parents he leaves n sister
Gladys, also student at st. Johnsbury
academy, and younger brother, Wal

MANY TROUT IN COUNTY
Distribution Shown in Report Of
Fish and Game Commissioner
Srortsmen Should Give Especial Atten-
ton to accommodations Made to

According to the 23d biennial report
Of the state fish and game commission
err, which was issued from the
press of the Vermont Printing Co., last
week. 100000 brook trout fry and 90
600 fngorlings were distributed in the
streams of Windham county during the
years 1915 and 1916. This is simply the
state distribution and does not take in
to account the distribution of the fed
eral bureau OF fisheries. The number
shows that Windham county sports
men have been more than ordinarily ac-
tive during the past two years, and it
is expected that this activity will con
tinue now that county fish and game
club has been formed.
There are many interesting facts in
Commissioner Titcomb s report. For
one thing, he points out that the fish
and game department is the only state
department. which is wholly maintained
without legislative appropriation; the
only department which while aiming
to benefit the entire community is not
a burden in the way of taxation on
the public as a whole, and a source of
revenue to the state through the medi-
um Of fines paid into the treasury.
This desirable condition was brought
about through the enactment of the

CIVILIZATION" COMING;
GREAT war time STORY

Civilization" the most stupendous
and daring cinema spectacle of all
times written by C. Gardner Sullivan
and produced by Thomas H. Ince and
which will have its first showing in
Pine Bluff at the Orpheo theatre on
Monday and Tuesday, is best summed
up as screen epic, depicting an
idealistic conception of the birth of
the millennium and the bringing about
of universal peace through the second
coming of Christ. AS to the photo
graphy it probably never has been
equalled in motion drama.
1t is perhaps. in the individual coun-
tenanses and the registry of the pass
ions, hopes, joys, sorrows and fears of
mankind that Civilization is exception
al. The faces of the characters Sc
lected to depict motherhood, bereft of
offspring for mannon fodder, show the
joy and sorrow of all mothers. The
children, especially the little girl who
depicts toddling babyhood, presents
the horrors of war by their artless-
ness more plainly than any of the bat
tie scenes.
The musical accompaniment is excel
lent and the explosions back-stage to
heighten the effect of the battle scenes
are realistic and thrilling.
The theme of "Civilization' has been
handled once and for all. The produc-
ton in its entirety is superb and stands
for all that is complete, fascinating and
illuminating. The cast is composed
