many welcome home celebrations in
the state, the one given here vas h
most remarkable he had seen; he
likened it t. an "Old Home Week" or
Family reunion" He congratulated
the citizens in the efforts put forth
by them in planning and carrying on
the affair, and then told the boys
that they now know what then own
people think OF them. In closing his
brief remarks the governor said, 1T
Is a grateful State to which you come
home"
The program of the afternoon made
q hit with the boys. Particularly was
this true of the boxing exhibition. All
of the bouts were up-to-the-minute
and in all of them plenty of action
was shown. 1t was a real live up to
the minute entertainment, n the fact
hat the boys and as many of the
visitors that could be packed into the
tent stayed there until the last match
had been pulled off shows that they
were well pleased with the events
Considerable amusement was caused
during the entertainment by the
breaking and falling to the ground of
the tables on which were crowded
folks anxious to view the fights and
show. People climbed aboard the
tables and as the weight became too
heavy they gave way and crashed to
the earth. The guests table was the
second one to go. 1t was said this
table was carrying the weight all right
until Assemblyman Frederick De Voc
climbed on top of it, which caused it

inside their belts. Never has Perth
Amboy seer the likes of the affair
that was carried off successfully in
the big tent. Tables had been placed
about the tent and when the boys ar
rived they found everything about
ready for them. Some of the lads
were so hungry they could not wait
for the Boy Scouts and other walters
to bring the good things, but went out
and helped themselves, thus delaying
somewhat the serving of the courses,
but everyone got all ne cared to eat.
There was everything on the menu
that would make a mans heart and
stomach glad. The dinner consisted
Of clam chowder, CLANS, fish, pota-
toes, chicken, celery, tomatoes, water
melon, soft drinks and beer. The boys
certainly did fill up on the good things
and then to top off the affair came the
address of Governor Runyon, and en-

and gave a brief address. He was

received thai many saloons are still
open in Newark, New York and other
cities. In fact there is nothing in the
law that would warrant the closing
Of a saloon except by action of local

the sale of liquors and not the closing
Of the places of business where the

There will be a meeting of the

Fires in Farm Buildings

The Farmer" says that SO per
cent of farm building fires occur
from smoking in barns. Also it is
a very dangerous thing to keep an
automobile or run a gasoline engine
in a barn.
But not all fires are due to mod
eru habits like the automobile.
The time houored barn lantern has
caused an immeasurable loss. Keep
it free from leaks. and hang it on
hooks away from wind and hay.
The frequency of farm fires. a

Hot Weather

The miserable wretch who says
rs this hot enough for you?" on a
warm day, is at least entitled to
one commentator He is trying to
extract a bit of humor from the
heat, Othor people fail even to-
make a show of cheerfulness. They
grumble and growl aud sweat and
fume. and make themselves 10
times hotter by fretting.
The extremes of heat and cold
are trying to the majority of peo-
pie. Different individuals and na-
tions have different ways of dealing
with heat. In warm countries work
is largely suspended through the
middle of the day. Everyone takes
a long nap. These easy going races
give up something of their business
success, rather than hustle and
hurry through the torrid period.
The American people are built
up on high keyed temperament
that disllkes to stop its hustle for
any such obstacle as the tempera-
ture. So business usually keeps
humming along, no matter where
the thermometer is. People vent
their feelings by a erumbling
attitude. But they keep on chasing
dollars. From one point of view
you admire their persistence, and
from another it seems lacking in
sound philosophy
American ingenuity comes in to
create its alleviations Great busi-
nesses have been founded on the
heat. Seeing the suffering of the
people from high temperature. they
offer their cool drinks and refresh
ing ices and electric fans and other
assaugements. But patience and
good nature are the best defence.
The merciful man is merciful to
his beast and does not force him ON
a hot day. He is kind and thought
full to employe in hot weather.
Forcing oneself to the high top of
hustle. with the thermometer above
80. is always doubtful policy. It
must take degree of energy worth
more than any product it can
bring.

Sheriff Worthen to Bring
Young Burglars Here
for Trial

The officers have every reason to
believe that they have found the par
ties that broke into the Barquin and
Paino stores Friday night and it is
believed that they are the two young
men now being held in Albany, N. Y,
where they were arrested for vagran-
cy Sunday morning Sheriff Worthen
had notified the principal cities of
this section of the crime and Sunday
night message came from the AL
bany chief of police that Bernard
Carmody and Iva Savage had been
arrested in the New York capital for
vagrancy and when pressed for in
formation as to their recent move
ments admitted that they had been
in st. Jolnsbury the night of the rob-
berry. The young men are both under
20 years of age and came from Wey
land, Mass.
States Attorney Campbell is MAX
ing out the necessary requisition pap
ers today and will start at once with
Sheriff Worthen to secure the young
men and bring them back to St.
Johnsbuly for a hearing. They will
have to see both Gov. Clement of
Vermont and Gov. Smith of New
York to get the eXtradition papers
signed and the Albany officials have
been asked to hold the boys until the
st. Johnsbury officials arrive with the
necessary papers
Sheriff Worthen expects to return
Thursday with the boys and the hear
ing will be held this week before
Judge Morse of the municipal court.
The case will probably be held over
for the county court if the hearing
produces sufficient evidence to war
rant it.
The penalty for burglary in this
state may be as much as twenty years
in the states prison at Windsor.
