BIG FOURTH IN BARRE.
Former Celebrations Likely to Be Out
done, According to Present Plans.

| Comparable only with an old time
June training, a three.ring circus day,
any Labor day observance in recent
/ years, and the wel-remembered flag day
| demonstration of 1917, all rolled into one
big get together is the mammoth Fourth
of July celebration in prospect for Barre,
as the result of plans formulated by the
Barre Board of Trade. Efforts are under
way to make the 1919 Independence day
memorable observance of home coming
for the 700 Barre boys who served with
the colors in the great war But the OBJ
servance will be more than that, for it is
the purpose of the committee not only to
entertain every Barre boy who wore the
khaki or blue, but to keep open house in
Barre on that day for the soldiers and
sailors of surrounding towns. So far as
possible, it is hoped that Barre will be
the Fourth of July rallying point for
the people of Washington and Orange
counties, with both populations doing
homage to their sons on given day and
designated place.
According to the conventional celebra
ton poster, every organized Fourth of
July observance must be elaborate"
magnificent" "stupendous," and at the
very least, gigantic" Barre's Fourth
this year is going to be good bit more
than all Of those, and super superlative
adjectives will not be sacrificed to cam
outage in the description thereof.
The committee as named in The Times
recently, are working with one accord
to make this homecoming celebration
fit climax to the part that Barre and its
sister towns in the two counties accepted
during the great war. There will be
prize parade, with horribles, floats and
decorated autos. Inasmuch as the com
mittee, realizing that the boys deserve
only the best, are ready to expend &c.
| 900 to make the celebration a red letter
affair, the prizes for the parade are to
be wholly worth the effort that partici.
pants will desire to exert in preparing.
As for bontires, nothing like the con
fagration now contemplated has been
seen in these parts since the Dewey day
celebration at the capital nearly 20
years agone. But that is a feature of
the nighttime celebration and should be
heralded along with the spectacular dis
play of fireworks to be provided More

Of approved design, are already assured,
and enither will remain immoYable dur

ton will be enlisted for the parade, and
in this connection the committee is
counting on the fine spirit of cooperation
exhibited by the frsternities whenever
their services were desired during the
period Of the war. Chief +. IL. Tohin of
the fire department is endeavoring, and
with much promise of success, to pur-
suade the state firemen's association to
hold its annual tournament here on the
Fourth. In addition there will be base
ball games and an interesting card of
field sports.

SLASHED HIS THROAT.
Because He Was Bothered-by Remarks
of Fellow Workmen.

Rutland, June Wellington II. Arch.
er of Arlington, aged 50 years, made an
unsuccessful attempt to take his own
life Saturday evening about 0 o'clock at
the home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs
Foster Archer of 81 Williams street, with
who he had been visiting for the past
week. He cut his throat with razor 1t
is expected he will recover.
Mr.. Archer, accompanied by his wife,
came to Rutland week ago last Satur
day and had remained at his parents
home practically all Of the time, and,
while not feeling particularly well, his
condition was not considered serious. On
Saturday evening he was in and about
the house talking to his wife and mother
and father, when he suddenly went into
the bedroom His absence from the
room was not noticed until his wife
heard him call his mother and when the
two women went into the room, they
found him lying on the floor in pool OF
blood. He was treated as best they
knew how and he was assisted into bed.
DR.. Harry r. Ryan was called, arriving
in a short time. The Staarns ambulance
was summoned and he was taken to the
Rutland hospital 1t is believed that
only prompt service by the relatives
at the house saved his life, as he bled
profusely.
No definite reason was given by the
mans family yesterday as to the cause
of his attempt on his life, other than
they believed it to be temporary insani-
ty. He has been employed in the Hale
Chair factory at Arlington for several
months, and he claimed the boys or
workmen in the shop bothered him
about things in which his opinion diff
fered. Saturday night, when his mother
and wife were moving him from the floor
to the bed, he talked about being both
cred by workmen.

Washington, Aug. 5.-An embargo

Missouri, in the midst of spirited
debate in the senate on the high cost
of living.

their misfortunes on themselves" he
declared.
There is a plan on foot whereby
a great international corporation is to

Europe to buy American food and
other products for European peoples,

this scheme through the proposed

For months Cambridge readers
have seen the constant expression of
praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and

remedy ever produced such convinc-
ing proof of merit?

Youths OF 10 Trained For Three

Two Years to Call.

washington, Aug. 5.-Maintenance
OF one. field army with a war strength
off,, 25o,O00 men is proposed in bill
establishing permanent military
policy which was sent congress py
Secretary of War Baker.
The bill was introduced in the SEN
ate by Senator Wadsworth, Republi-
can, New York, chairman of the mill
tary committee. He explained this
did not mean he endorsed all of its
provisions. He said he presented 1t
merely at Mr.. Bakers request.
The active force of this army would
be $4,000 regulars. The remainder
would be young men who had taken
three months military training course
which would be compulsory for all
nineteen-year-old youths.
This reserve strength would be used
to fill out the twenty infantry divis-
ions< and one cavalry division into
which it is proposed to divide the reg
ular army.
Youths would be subject to military
service for two years after complet-
ing the course of military training
and in the event of the war, the selec-
tive service act in force during the
great war would become operative.
The plan for registering youths Of
nineteen years is the same, with
slight notifications as was applied
during the, war under the selective
service act. The bill provides for the
appointment of local and appeal
boards, compensation at the rate of
$40 for every day OF actual service by
board officials being prescribed.
Exemption from training would be
given only to members of the regular
army and navy, honorably discharg-
ed soldiers and sailors and members
Of the coast guard, mariners actually
employed, in sea service and persons
permanently physically, mentally or
morally unft for any military serv-
ice whatever"
Under such exemption clauses the
average number of boys of nineteen
to be found qualified for training each
year would be approximately 100000.
This number from the annual class
to have been trained would be held
ready for immediate mobilization at
all times

NAVY GLORIFIED IN
THAMES PAGEANTRY
King in Royal Barges Heads
FiV3-MiIe Procession.

London, Aug. 5.-The important role
ing the great war was commemorated
by a naval pageant on the Thames,
the day marking the fifth anniversary
of the historic mobilization of the
British fleet.
Plans for the event, while giving
recognition TO the allied and associ-
ated powers, laid stress on the fact
that this was a purely British occa-
sion.
The Union Jack and the banners of
ST. George, st. Patrick, st. Andrew
and st. David predominated in the
decorations along the riverside.
Tower bridge was the point select
ed for the start of the five-mile pro-
cesSion. Owing to the fact that the
space beneath the Thames bridges is
somewhat limited it was impossible
to include large vessels in theh pa
geant, but the procession lost nothing
of interest because of this. DAYS
when the Thames was the 'sking's
highway" and when the people of
London used boats just as their oe-
scendants of today use taxicabs. were
recalled by the appearance of King
Georges royal barge. This craft was
built more than two hundred years
ago for Queen Mary and King William
and was richly ornamented with GRIM
son and gold.
AS it moved along the Thames the
huge bank holiday crowds, which
lined the embankment solidly, swarm.
ed on the bridges and perched upon
ratings and the roofs of hohuses and
in trees on both sides of the river.
gave the pageant a tumultous greet.

Senator Gronna, Republican, North
Dakota, chairman of the agricultural
committee, announced that he had
called a committee meeting to discuss
measures to reduce the cost of living.
He said he had no remedy to offer,
but declared that increase of wages
and decrease of working hours was
not a panacea nor would government
ownership or control of utilities solve
the problem.
Relation of the price of wheat to
the cost of living was debated by sew
eral senators. Mr.. Gronna denied
that the governments wheat price
guarantee causes undue prices for
bread. He was supported by Senators
Kellog and Nelson, Republicans, Min

Harrisburg, Pa, Aug. 5.-State of

the pure food laws have come to the
conclusion that so-called elders will
furnish the most prolific source of
violations of the dry laws.
Discoveries show marked activity
in inquiry into the size of the cider
crop that may be expected to various
valleys of the Keystone state.
Experience of the agents of the
bureau of foods of the state depart
ment of agriculture last month gave
indications of the lines that will be
active when the nation becomes really
dry.
Some apricot cider found on general
sale was discovered on analysis to
antain 657 per cent of alcohol, while
some cider sold as "Sweet" contained
1868 per cent. This merchant was ar
rested and fined. ITE a northwestern
county what was called ''grape cider
was found To not only contain 6 per
cent of alcohol, but to be also color
ed with coal tar dye.
