CHARLES WRIGHT
WRITES RIGHT SORT
OF LETTER HOME

Will Wright, the well-known genial
proprietor Of the Corner Garage on
Railroad street, has received the fol-
lowing letter from his brother,
Charles, now in Europe, which makes
interesting reading for his many
friends back here in St. Johnsbury:

AT GRACE CHURCH
IS GREAT SUCCESS
Chicken Pie Supper With

.sMUSIS AND SPEAKING
Mrs. Robert E.. French Makes Grace
full Toast Mistress for
Occasion
,sMUSIS AND SPEAKING

The social success of the season
was the gentlemen's night of the St.
Johnsbury Woman's Club, when for
the first time at this function a BAN
quet was served at $50, Friday eve
ming at the Grace Methodist church
assembly room. A chicken pie din
ner with all it's "fxings" was served
by the dining room committee. Dur
ing the banquet excellent music was
furnished by the Burroughs orches-
ira, the violin solos by Mr.. Burroughs
receiving deserved applause.
At the post-prandial exercises the
president Of the Club, Mrs. Robert
P. French, gracefully presided, intro
ducing each speaker with many good
stories. Arthur F. Stone responded
for the gentlemen, proposing this
fairest work of the Great Author;
as the edition is large every man
should have copy" Mrs. Joseph A.
Davis responded to the toast "Our
Husbands: God Bless EN-" paying
a graceful tribute the sterner sex.
Miss Mary Root of the Academy fac
ulty responded for the associate mem
bers, the st. Johnsbury teachers,
making a good hit by suggesting that
inasmuch as the president Of the
Woman's Club had made st. Johns
bury a fy-less town she now con-
tinues her good work and make it
a "flu-less" town. Rev. George A.
Martin was the last speaker and kept
the audience in excellent humor by
relating some of the amusing expert
ences of a clergyman's life.
Following the speaking choice
musical and literary program
was given. The club chorus
of 80 voices under the direction of
Frank H. Brooks gave several num-
berS in finished manner and Bur
roughs orchestra rendered more of
their choice selections. Mrs. Oscar
Cummings gave some pleasing recl-
tails and Mrs P. C. Brooks pleased all
with her sweet and clear voice in two
solos. Miss Maude Brown accom-
panied Mrs. Brooks and Miss Alice
B. Warden played the accompani-
ments for the club chorus. Two re-
citals by Miss Ellen Magoon of the
Academy faculty were most arts
tically given, the last by Paul Law
renee Dunbar being especially wei
done.
The committee in charge of this an
nual affair were the social committee
Mrs. Elsie Harvey, chairman, and the
music committee, Mrs. C. M. Rich
mond, chairman. The dining room
committee included Mrs. Frank H
Taylor, chairman, Miss Ellie B. Hig
gins, Mrs. w. B. Atwood, Mrs: F. B
Jacques, Mrs. z. S. Waterman, Mrs
G. C. Weeks, Mrs. G. H. Woodward
and Mrs. F. E. Harris assisted by 2!
young ladies. Mrs. Taylor also hat
charge of the decorations.

LEGISLATORS IN
ROLEOF POOR-PAID
STATE BOLSHEVlKI
Bill to Give Them S5 Per
Day introduced from
Montgomery
NEW MEASURE DELUGE
Bill Comes In to Make New Voters
Declare Their Party
Afiliation

Montpelier, Feb. 8-A deluge of
new measures came into the Vermont
Legislature yesterday prior to the
regular weekend recess, 25 new
measures being introduced in the
House and a couple in the Senate.
Conscientious members may do the
state a favor by working during the
weekend recess in committees and
preparing the new bills for action by
the respective bodies next week. But
it is doubtful if many of them tarry
around the capitol over Sunday de-
spite the amount of work.
A glance at the new measures re-
veals the inevitable attempt to raise
the pay off the members, such bill
raising the per diem from 81 to SIS
having been presented by Mr.. Lam
bert of Montgomery. The increased
cost of living will probably be play
ed up strongly by those in favor of
increasing their own pay and it is
admitted that they have a strong ar
gument. The bill is sure to cause
quite bit of discussion before it is
rejected.
At the same time bill was intro
duced in the Senate creating the of
fee of assistant encouragement, ap-
pointed by the attorney general and
making the latter officer responsible
for the acts of his subordinate and
incidentally making the salary $4,000.
A bill was introduced by Mr.. Tracy of
Johnson in the lower branch provid-
ing assistance. for the attorney gen
eral in the trial of criminal causes.
Other interesting bills~inelude an at
tempt to make voters at direct pri-
maries declare their party affiliation,
Judges conducting inquests not to be
disqualified from rendering judgment
and passing sentence upon plea of
guilty, taxes assessed in 1917, 1918
and 1919 of persons in the military
service of the United States in the
war with Germany may be abated.
Another measure provides that per-
sons who were in the military or
naval service may vote at town cleo
ton even though the poll tax was
not taken while they were in the SER
vice.

troducer of measure changing the

BASKET BALL GAME
AT LlTTLETON WAS
HISTORY Y-MAKINC

Once in 4 decade something occurs
in the athletic world that makes his
tory and that history is rehearsed and
recited in the back rooms of the
stores, at the lodges, in the shops,
at the livery stables, and wherever
men are accustomed to gather. To
be sure this way of preserving, STIR
ring and epoch making athletic his
tory may be a survival of the days
theless, efficacious and widely en-
of wandering minstfels but is, never
ployed. The old timers in St. Johns
bury still eagerly -recite the exploits
of their famous world champion bas-
ket ball team which played to thous-
ands in the old armory which stood
where Goss' garage now is. And
they still relate the story Of the
Gloversville team that Brattleboro
hired, who took their exit through a
window of their dressing room in
the middle Of game, although this
incident is in the distant and hazy
past.
History of this sort was made last
night when st. Johnsbury and Little
ton hooked up for a go at basket ball
in the Littleton opera house.
Now to make history the teams
must be evenly matched, they must
be rivals of long standing and they
must be out for blood. All these
conditions obtained at Littleton last

tween the rivals, numbered more thar
the average of winsome lasses among
it's population. And it is also wei
known that the affections of many {
