Over By the U. S,

attorneys for Ernest O'Brien announced
that they elected to re-enter their an

ment.

has been made and the attorneys have
filed their briefs with the court. This
case involves 81 which was reduced from

VERMONT GETS BANNER
Leads In Percentage Of Membership In
American Legion

Vermont will have the gratifying honor
during the coming year Of holding the
banner offered by the national headquar-
tiers of the American Legion to the
State, having the largest number of paid
up memberships in the legion in proper
ton to the population. This fact was
made known in the city Tuesday through
a telegram from Howard Allen OF this
city, one of the State delegates to the
national convention at Minneapolis. The
telegram was received by Paul Kicker
and reads as follows:
Vermont leads in membership and we
are bringing home the banner"
This banner was offered by the national
headquarters in September when the ma
tional drive for members was launched.
1t was then stated that the banner would
be awarded at the national convention to
the State leading in memberships
according to population.
Vermont's membership campaign was
very successful as carried on by the tenn
porary State officers, the membership In
the State going far above Its quota,
reaching beyond the 1900 mark. Bur-
lington, with a paid-up membership Of
about 1000, Is thought to hold the record
in this connection among cities of its
size throughout the country.

recent sorts, will also have some small
display at Providence this week. Among
the newer varieties are Delicious, Win
ter Banana, Wealthy. and Mcintosh.
These are varieties. which aside from
persisting distinctive intrinsic merits of
quality, are exceedingly attractive on
display because at their beautiful shape
and their high grade of color. Mr.. With
