Negro Fete to be Held In

Paris, France, July 24.-France
true to her tradition Of equality, lib
erty and justice, has created new
sensation for the world. 1t may be
fad, or it may be the beginning Of an
epoch that will continue as long as
time. The war gave to France a
clear idea Of what the colored peo-
pies of the world have accomplished
and having learned much of this,
France is anxious to learn more. This,
stated on very good authority, that,
while the American whites are some
what hesitant about adopting the new
French craze, there is no disposition
on their part to be out Oh step with
the times and consequently they arc
gradually falling in line.
An exhibition of Negro are stat
ues, busts and masks in sculptured
wood, has met with great success
not only with the critics, but also with
purchasers. Some of these sculptures
have been sold for more than 1,OOC
francs and if artists unite in finding
in these works all the seeds Of the
greatest art there is certainly In this
fashion, sincere admiration.
Next week Negro fete will be held

Grand Rapids, Mich, July 24.-"It
is the Negro who has made the furni-
ture man of the south rich from his
business. The whites have helped,
but the tremendous business we have
been enjoying recently has come in
larger degree from the colored man."
1t was a furniture man from At
lanta, Ca, who was doing the talking,
and his talk was most interesting and
enlightoning.
II think may say that the Negro
of the south has made more raDd
strides in recent years that the white
man has. The reason is manifest. He
had longer distance to go and he is
covering that distance very rapidly.
He is taking advantage Of the educa-
tional system and he is getting ahead
in an economic way very rapidly.

Negro that when nc has money he
likes to spend it and when he does
spend it he usually wants something

Which is the better man in physi-

After comparing the records Of the
whites and blacks in the United States
army, where they lived under exactly
tho same conditions the writer con-
cludes that the Negro is better phys

From unprejudiced statistics, it ap-

to disease than the white man. He has
less power of resistance to certain

The Willoughby Fish and Game
club had its annual meeting and cleo

Although the social activities OF
the club have not been active during
the war years the real work of the
club has been going on just the same
and since the last report Of the sec
rotary about 175,000 fish have been
PLANTED. The number of fish receiv-
ed in the last few years has not been
great but the fish have been large and
it is expected that the results are
much more satisfactory. The club
gets fish for its paintings both from
the state of Vermont and the Y. ,.

the planting has to be paid by the
club, so that all who are interested IN

members and thus help in making
this section one of the best in the
state. The activities of the club are
confined mostly to fish as this is not
as much of a game section as some.
( At the meeting several matters of in
I terest were discussed, one being the
screening of Willoughby lake so that
! the Iandlocked salmon can be kept in
the lake, and the club also plans to

social evening with speakers and
guests some time this spring. The
paintings done by this club are IN
Long pond, Willoughby lake, and
streams in the Willoughby and Bar

over 100000 fish consisting of lake
trout, brook trout, landlocked salmon

The Library Benefit held at the

consisting of recitations, songs and
an operetta "The Quarrel of the Flow

duet, Mr.. Kinney and Mr.. Converse,

time followed, the president of the
Book and Thimble club, Mrs. John
Bartlett, leading a promenade, after
which there was dancing. The tables
where candy and ice cream were sold,
received good patronage. The net

Orleans Hospital Opened and Inspect

On Friday afternoon the Orleans
hospital was opened for public in
spection. In spite of the heavy
snow storm many visitors came and
were shown about by Mrs. Ranney
and Miss Douglass, and served a
dainty tea by Mrs. Cleasby, assisted
by Miss Ruth Richmond.
The rooms of the hospital were all
most tastefully furnished, and were
gay with spring flowers for this oc-
casion. On the lower floor are pleas
ant waiting rooms, DR.. Cleasby's of
fee, the clerks office, X-ray room,
drug room, a large, well-hghted op-
Grating room fitted with all modern
appliances and q maternity room,
while upstairs is the mems ward and
the women's ward, each containing
three beds, and a private room very
tastefully and completely furnished
by E. Z. Doe and family. These with
the maternity room downstairs give
the hospital a capacity of ten beds
with the possibility of more in the
main building if needed. The E. L.
Chandler Co., Fred Allchurch, the
Pythian Sisters and Whipple, French
& Co., also contributed furnishings.
Orleans and the outlying country
have long needed such an institution,
and the people should feel very CRATE
full to DR.. E. M. Cleasby for thus an
swering this need. 1t seems fitting
indeed that the hospital should be
connected with this house where for
many years DR.. E. o. Ranney minis
tered to the sick. The location is
ideal since it is on the hill, away
from the dust and noise of the town,
and the view is beautiful.

sudden. Mrs. Loveland was born in
Albany. Nov. 27, 1866, daughter of
Ruel and Anna Wells, and was mar
ried in 1884 to Oscar F. Loveland of
Irasburg. For the past 80 years Mrs.
Loveland has been a resident of
Bloomington until she came to live
with her son, Victor, about a year
ago. She is survived by five children:
Mrs. A. G. Baird and Victor Loveland
of Orleans, Ernest, Percy and Hugh
Loveland of California. The funeral
was held at her sons home Monday
afternoon, Rev. W. A. Warner of
Barton officiating, with interment in

There is a perfect magic to the col

go since early spring, begins to show
It. Try a bright bit Of banding on the
weary headpiece. and see If it doesn't
take q new interest in life.
Nor need the band be an elaborate
thing or difficult to make. It might go
like this: Two-inch un6Eured ribbon
Of taffeta or satin, grosgrain or velvet,
with two rows of stitched squares ar.
ranged alternately, checkerboard eff:
feet, and worked up with silk or cot.
ton or wool, whichever contrasts most
effectively with your ribbon.
Divide the ribbon hand In half on
the length with faint penciling. Then
mark it of with two-inch spaces. Now
"fill" alternate spaces with overland
over stitching. . If" you haven't any
particular color scheme In mind, what
do you think about this ultramodish
