At the September meeting OF the
Parent-Teacher Association OF the
Dillon High School, it was decided
that the Association would finance
the Domestic Science Department
instead Of depending on the usual
monthly fees. This was done because
in a number of instances there had
been q failure in collecting the fees,
A committee was appointed at the
January meeting to plan the raising
Of such funds. On account OF the
epidemic the committee hesitates to
arrange any sort OF public money
making scheme and so has decided
to ask each woman in Dillon inter
ested in the school to contribute
some article that can be sold for this
purpose. Fancy work, potted plants,
canned goods. pickles, preserves
farm products or anything else that
would sell can be given. II no arti-
Gle OF this kind can be contributed
money will be gladly accepted.
The committee will call for these
articles Wednesday January 22nd
and will then sell them Friday, Jan
uary cath the room under telephone
office at 2:3e p. m.
It is hoped that the people OF Dill,
lon are so vitally interested in this
very important department OF the
school that no trouble will be ex'
perienced in raising the money.

Governor Allen who spent ten

German intelligence.
"on September rs the Thirty-fifth
division started to enter the Argon-

the next day, the doughboys had
gone beyond the range OF the artil-
lery and they fought for four days
without an artillery support. I went
along the roads leading up to the bat

the roads choked with the bodies
OF horses that had been killed % had
died in the harness in the efforts to
bring up the artillery. The lack OF
artillery support was not due to the
men or their officers. 1t was lack OF
transport. We did not have enough
horses and what we did have were toe

The Governor declared that there
should have been 5000 horses in

Governor Allen declared that the

Schools Of: punkeraua.

One Of the things that deeply i'm
pressed the company IF Journalists
from some twenty different nations
who recently visited Dunkerque in a
party was the story of the public
schools. Dunkerque, although it es~
capped occupation, was under constant
bombardment; the enemy at one time
and another had the city under fire
by land, sea and air, but. except for
short time in the beginning when the
buildings were used for war purposes,
the schools Of Dunkerque. like those
Of Reims: continued in session, and
new schoolhouses were built. When.
ever the city was bombarded, the pu-
pills, big and little, marched to the GEL
lar in orderly procession, and some
times the entire session was held there.
II schoolhouse was partly shattered,
It was repaired at once, and school
promptly resumed; nothing, in short,
was allowed to interfere with the con-
tinuity of the schools of Dunkerque.

4 The artillery fire died out, and there
was q pause that seemed like the sud-

again, "Peace on EARTH" The armistice

WIFE
COLLAPSES AT
MURDER TRIAL

/ PITTSFIELD, July 26-Mrs
Gladys Courvoisier Dunn, charged
with killing her three year old son.
collapsed in the superior court room
yesterday afternoon. Because of
her weakened condition, which forced
her to remain in bed, Judge Nelson
P. Brown adjourned the healing un-
til Monday morning.
The commonwealth rested its case
and Atty. John F. Noxon, of counsel
for the defendant, outlined her case
to the jury, saying that both she and
her husband would take the stand.
Speaking with impressive earnest
ness the lawyer had outlined the de-
fense. He had gone into the circum-
stances of her illness and mental
condition at the time when she fired
the bullet into the head of her son,
and had related the circumstances of
the admitted quarrel between her and
her husband, ]. Allan Dunn, the au-
thor, Immediately before the tragedy.
He closed his address, saying:
"That is the story. 1t is one of the
saddest stories have ever known. 1t
was sad enough when she shot her
only son. 1t is infinitely sadder
when she is brought to this bar to be
tried for murder in the second degree.
If convicted under that charge she
must be sent to prison for life. She
can be found guilty of manslaughter
which means from one day to 20
years imprisonment"
"Or no day at ALL" interjeca2d
Judge Brown, presiding.
"Or you may say she is not guilty
by reason of insanity" Mr.. Noxon
continued. (Which means she must
be sent to some institution to be re-
leased only through executive clem-
ency; or she can be found not guilty
and set free"
Weeps as Lawyer Speaks
Mrs. Dunn had been weeping 81
lently all through the address. She
kept clasping and unclasping her
hands. Occasionally she would slip
down in her seat, lean her head
against the back of her chair and
close her eyes, her handkerchief to
her.
When Mr. Noxon concluded speak
ing, the court ordered a recess. Mrs.
Dunn bent forward, leaned upon the
table of her counsel and collapsed.
Her husband put his arm round her
and she sobebd at intervals.

giOn Votes ON Question
Forms Baseball Nine

Members of st. Johnsbury post of
the American Legion, composed OF
men who saw service in the Great
War, han an enthusiastic meeting at
the Armory last night and organized
a baseball team to be known as the
American Legion nine. "Puss" Con-
nors, one of st. Johnsbury's best
known baseball players, was elected
captain and Raymond Fisk, manager.
Both these young men are former
Academy players and also have made
good on the town teams. Under
their management there is no doubt
but that very strong team will be
formed.
The organization of the nine was
left to the captain and manager. They
will get together the best players
most of whom saw service in the war
and will begin practice at once.
The post received a communication
from the State headquarters of the
Legion asking vote of the post on
the matter of removing the bodies of
the men who fell on the battlefields
of France to this country. Every
post of the national organization is
taking a vote upon this important
matter. After short discussion it was
the unanimous vote of the post that
the remains of the dead heroes should
remain upon the honored battlefields
where they fell. The vote of. the
St. Johnsbury post will be forwarded
to national headquarters.
1t was voted that the dues of the
post be $1.O0 per year for each MEM
Der. 1t was also voted to meet every
other Friday evening at the Armory.
The next meeting will be August 8.
There was a good attendance last
night of representatives of the navy
