of Manager Invitation.

Notices for the annual invitation
track meet of the Brattleboro high
school to be held at the Valley Fair
grounds May - at $50 o clock have
been issued.
One new event is TO be found in the
list-the javelin throw. This makes a
total of ii events, instead of ID, which

The iavelin throw has been included in
the list of international meets for some
years and is a pretty and interesting
field event In many of the meets it
has been substituted for the dangerous
hammer throw. While the hammer
throw is included in the events for
this invitation meet this year II is
quite within the range of probabilities
that another year or two will see this
abandoned as a dangerous contest.
The following is the invitation as

Earl N. Carr Of Brattleboro Writes OF
Being Located but Short Walk

A letter from Earl n. Carr of Brat

force in France, dated March II, has
Just been received by Miss Leona
Tubbs of South Main street. 1t bears

Friend Leona:-
Just a few lines before l go to bed.
have done some travelling since |
wrote last, and have seen lots of queer
and interesting things. l am settled
for while Just a short walk from the
front, where aeroplanes come to visit
us nearly every night and there is a
constant rumble night and day of can

When l go on guard at night l start
thinking of all the things | ever did
and wonder if ! ought to get scared or
not l have not gotten scared yet, but
IN not Dragging, as | may most any
time.
l am not with many of the fellows
from Brattleboro now, SO if they do not
work me most Of the time l get lone
some.
The other night a flock of German
aeroplanes came over and our (the
French) guns shot enough lead and
cannon balls at them to pave Main
street. The sky was SO light that the
huge search lights did not amount to
much. What goes up must come down,
YOU know, SO we managed to get some
of it here in our camp. 1t does
not bother as much because we have
rooms dug in the ground that protect
us from falling schrapnel. The Huns
were finally driven back, after an ae-
rial battle, and l went to sleep with
not care in the world.
! see in the papers that there are
quite lot of wheatless and heatlpss
and mcatless days there. Must be kind
of inconvenient. Once in a while we
have even eatless days over here.
l would love to walk into the old
town tonight and talk with my old
friends for while. Don't seem as
though l would stop talking for q
week
l would be satisfied if I knew that
would ever walk in again; rather

Economy on Railroad.

Wartime economy has struck the
Pennington Branch railroad between
this city and the county seat of
Hunterdon; so much so that one of
the two coaches is kept standing in
the local yards while the other one
carries the passengers, the mail,
baggage and express. When the
passengers cannot all get inside the
car they are permitted to use the
rear platform for observation pur-
poses. A trainman is also saved =,
which is an additional item.
1t is the first time since the road
was opened, more than half cen
fury ago. that the regular service
has consisted of a single car, bat
the Lehigh Valley only runs a single
coach on its Pennington branch, so
the county seat town is personally
witnessing the real rigors of war
right at home,

YORK ROAD TEA
HOUSE OPENED

Mrs. Henry D. Paxson of Phila-
delphia has remodeled the old house
on the York road just east of the
village of Holicong and opened it
last week as a tea house.
The house was an old Colonial
building with a log addition and
quaint old bake oven, all of this has
been beautifully restored.
The house has been refurnished
with antiques such as were used at
the time it was built, as Col. Paxson
has been one of Bucks Counties most
earnest searcher after Colonial fur
niture and household appliances.
Dainty teas luncheons will be SER
we'd at the "Wayside" as this most
attractive public convenience is call
ed, to automobile parties and travel
ers along this historic old highway.
All profits will be devoted to war
work, as Mrs. Paxson is most deep
Iy interested in all phases of such
endeavor.

THE FOUNTAIN
IS DEDICATED

The Warman Memorial Fountain,
on the city lot on York street, was
dedicated last evening with appro-
pirate ceremonies, in which the
city officials, the Citizens Band, and
other organizations took part.
The main address was made by Rev.
Edward A. Wells, pastor of Centen-
airy M. E. Church.
The fountain was a donation from
the late S. C. Warman, who died at
Frenchtown two or three years ago,
and has been completed and in use
for some time. Weather conditions
prevented its dedication on one or
two dates previously set, so the
affair was postponed until this time.
1t is beautiful piece of cut stone
work, and has been used more this
season, probably, than it's predecessor
an old iron fountain was used in any
two or three seasons, due to the
superior conveniences for both per-
sons and animals. William Weiss, of
Frenchtown, was the builder of the
fountain.

cinity, and one of our oldest inhabi-
tants, being in his S5th year.

USE RIVER REEDS FOR PAPER
Britain Manufacturers Are Expert.
menting With Product Along the
Tay Near Dundee.

To meet the wartime paper short
age in Britain paper manufacturers
are experimenting with the river
reeds found along the banks Of the
Tay near Dundee, Scotland. Infor-
nation received by the bureau Of
foreign and domestic commerce is to
the effect that paper, at least that of
rough fiber, can be manufactured
from this material, the only difficult
ties encountered being the brittle
ness of the grass and its tendency to
break into short pieces after it has
dried. 1t is thought, however, that
Sleeping" process may be adopted
that will overcome these drawbacks
and render the grass capable Of be-
ing converted into good salable pa
per, and that in the course of few
months a new and fairly important
industry may be established on the
banks Of the Tay.

KRUPP'S TRIBUNAL OF DEATH
Munition Workers Are MerciIessIy
Tried for DisIoyalty Before Can
non Queen Herself.

The most secret and amazing
court in the world. perhaps, is to be
found at the Villa Hugel in Essen,
according to Pearson's Weekly.
Here in an underground apart
ment of the mansion tenanted by
Bertha Krupp, traitors employed at
the great Essen death factory are
tried for the crime of treachery.
Death is their inevitable portion.
The cannon queen herself is the
judge. Pitilessly, mercilessly, with
out a vestige of emotion, she passes
the dread sentence. And she sits
statuesque and unmoved as the
shrieks for mercy from the doomed
wretch who has sold the carefully
guarded secrets of Essen pierce the
artificial atmosphere of the chamber.
More than 100000 people are en-
ployed at Krupp's. Hundreds of
nationalities are represented. And
although it is the most carefully
guarded arsenal in the world, there
are occasions when, tempted by
money, workmen disclose some cher
ished secret to the agent of for
eign power. Such thing is newt
able in a mixed collection of humans
like the one to be found at Krupp's.
There are hundreds of detectives
moving to and fro unsupported. All
sorts Of traps are set. The loyalty
of the workers is subjected to the
most searching tests. Even wives
are induced to test the fidelity of
their husbands. And when Judas
is discovered, he or she is arraigned
before this amazing court.
