VT. BUYS $25,e7s.15 w. S. S.
This Was Sale for Month of April
as Given Out by Director of New
New England

WATERBURY, June 5-The sale
of War Savings Stamps in Vermont
during the month of April was $685.
978.15, as announced by Mrs. F. L.
Higginson, Savings Director for New
England. The sales in the various
states were as follows:
Maine, 30,192.86; New Hampshire
33,963.95; Vermont, $25,978.15;
Massachusetts,, $399,452.95; Rhode
Island, $275,65S86; Connecticut
S142, 489.83. Total for April, $907,-
1850; from January to April 30
1919, $4,362,960.41, a per capita av-
erage of 60 cents.
The apparent falling off in sales of
stamps in April was due largely to a
partial cessation of effort because of
the Victory Loan. Mrs. Higginson
expresses satisfaction with the move
ment thus far, and with a clear field
feels assured that the end of the year
will show satisfactory results.
The inrease in the number of War
Savings societies from February LIST
to May 9Th, in Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts,, and Rhode Is
land from 1885 to 1860 is encourag-
ing, especially as labor conditions in
some localities are still unsettled.
Following the closing of the school
for secretaries which has been in ses-
sion during the past month at Boston
University and the placing in the field
of considerable number of trained
workers, a marked gain will be seen.

HOME FROM INDIA
Mrs. Lois Lee Parker and Formerly OF
St. Johnsbury, 81 Years a Mis-
sionary Lands in Boston

Mrs. Lois Lee Parker, Methodist
Missionary in India for 81 years is
home from the foreign field having
landed in Boston Monday. She made
the journey unaccompanied all the
way from Calcutta on the steamship
Banares.
Mrs. Parker's ancestors were among
the first settlers in St. Johnsbury.
Her maiedn name was Lois Lee. She
has relatives living in town and many
of the older residents will remember
her. She attended school in Newbury
and st. Johnsbury and on her mar
riage to Mr.. Parker, they removed to
Concord.
The following is takn from the
Boston Post:
81 like America very much, but
must get back to my work in India
just as soon as l can," said the little
lady of IS summers, Mrs. Lois Lee
Parker, widow of the late Bishop Ed
ward w. Parker of India, in an inter-
view Tuesday when the City of Ben
ares locked here from Calcutta This
energetic little woman, who has spent
81 years in work in India, has come
all the way from Hardoi, India, alone
to attend the jubilee of the Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society of the
Methodist Episcopal church, of which
she was one of the founders, in
fremont Street Church so years ago.
She is the sole survivor of that small
group of women who started this
great missionary movement half a
century ago.
81 am here under ORDERS" said
Mrs. Parker, who has not missed
dinner during the long trip from Cal
cutta, and whose eyes snapped with
the vigor of youthful enthusiasm. "I
have come to celebrate the .Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society Jubilee
and to rejoice in the success of the |
Methodist Centenary. All over India |
the conferences are filled with CEN
tenary enthusiasm-our pastors are
alive with this new world spirit Our
people are giving to the limit, and we
in India expect to do our part
towards rebuilding the world"
Bishop and Mrs. Parker spent III
years laboring together in India, and
after the death of her husband, Mrs.
Parker went bravely back to India
alone to take up the burden laid down
by her husband.

Western pictures in way that
A Western pictures have never been
played before. A cowboy, a soldier,
a Texas Ranger, he has never known
what fear is, and when he went into
motion pictures he brought to his
work the same daring and sensational
riding that had been his life habit.
His popularity is sweeping the coun-
try. Mix is life and swift breath of
life; he is the West with it's daring
and strength; he rides like centaur;
he is like the flash of a Winchester
as its banks in the night; the action
goes with zip and snap that is
electrifying. "Fame and Fortune"
is the swiftest, most thrilling drama
ever filmed. At the Globe today.
