BARRE BANKS SELLING BONDS.
There Was No Formal Inauguration Of
the Campaign.

The Victory Liberty loan sale in Barre
started off this morning with good pros
poets of subscribing the 100000 quota
Of Barre if the people come up to expec-
tations. There was no formal inauglira-
tion Of the drive in the city but the
banks were taking subscriptions in con-
siderable volume. There were no figures
Of the amount already sold available for
publication to-day, but it is hoped that
some definite idea of the progress Of the
campaign can be given from time to
time. The committee has placarded the
city with posters, and the desirability Of
ownership of some of the fifth U. s. gov
ernment loan has been impressed upon
the people in other ways.

time and that he had never been
in trouble before. They said he
had always had a reputation for
honesty. Kish told the jury that
he entered the basement of the

PETITION WOULD
Be UNANIMOUS
To- Enable Residents of Unannexed
Territory to Avoid an
Election.

All of the residents now living
within the $50 acre tract which it
is proposed to annex to the city,
would have to sign a petition ask
ing that the change be made before
the city ordinance governing such a
contingency could be made effec-
tive. In other words the petition
must be unanimous. This was the
sentiment expressed by Mayor
Harry Schriwer today.
The latter suggested two weeks
ago-or when the matter first came
to the attention of the city commits
sion anent the protest of the resi-
dents against the establishing of a
Jewish cemetery in the tract-that
the question of whether or not the
tract shall be annexed to the city
be submitted to the people at the
June election. This would cut the
cost of the latter operation in half
and would mean a great saving to
the city.
Report Several Opposed.
The probability that all of the
residents are in favor of anneXa-
ton is precluded by the fact that all
have not expressed a desire that
they be taken into the city. There
are said to be several who are op-
posed TO coming into the city at
this time and this it is thought will
make the holding of an election
probable.

an added importance. They have
long been the mileposts along that

the ocean could be drained to its
bed they would tower as a group OF
great mountains. Their highest
peak rises 7,540 feet above the sur
face of the sea, which is about
equal to the altitude of the Hottest
summit in the United States east of
the Rocky mountains. The islands
are. indeed. the peaks of old volca-
noes, or are volcano-made. They
abound in hot springs. Earth
quakes have often wrought much
damage.
This mountain group rises above
the ocean at points about four
hundred miles apart, in their eX-
treme range, east and west, and
about two hundred miles from
north to south. The peaks can be
seen at a great distance, in clear
weather, and they have been sight
ed by uncounted thousands of pas
sengers on ocean steamships going
by. without stopping, on their way
between Europe and America.

the more numerous white Portu-
guese" who have come directly
from Portugal ..
The Azores have belonged to
Portugal from the time of their
discovery. and they have shared the
general inertia and slow movement
of that country. during the last two
or three centuries. They have been
little but a picturesque stopping
place for steamers on the route to
and from Mediterranean ports and
the Atlantic coast cities of Portu-
gal and Spain, with some export
trade in tropical fruits and a small
but growing patronage as a winter
resort.

So me Ways of Preparing Pop Corn.

Besides merely popping 1t and spripk-
ling with salt or adding butter, pop
corn may be made into several palatable
CONNECTIONS. To get best results, the
corn should be popped over hot fire,
but care should be taken not to scorch
the popped grains. II a wire pepper 10
used, hold 1t far enough from the blaze
to prevent burning. The right degree
of heat should make good corn begin to
pop in about a minute and half. Too
great q heat will cause some OF the
grains to pop sooner, but many of them
will not pop at all and those that pop
will not be 80 flaky. If the grains pop
we'll, the bulk should be increased by
about twenty times. -
Some like pop corn with cream and
sugar, In the form of breakfast food.
When served this way, the popped
grains may be eaten whole or ground up
in coffee-mill. The parcbed and poor
~ popped kernels are also used In this
way when ground fine, and are superior
to some breakfast foods on the market.
Chocolate pop corn is likely to be
relisbed by every one. Take two tea
cups OF sugar, half cup Of starch, two
ounces of chocolate and cup of water.
Put into q sauce pan or kettle and boil
till the syrup hardens wLen put in cold
water. While hotpour this syrup over
four quarts of freshly popped corn, and
stir well to insure uniform coating Of
the kernels.
Sugared pop corn is quite popular.
Make syrup of boiling together two
teacups of sugar to one OF water. Boil
until the syrup strings from the spoon
or hardens when dropped into cold
water. Pour the syrup over six quarts
of pop corn, and stir till all 10 coated,
and separated.
To make pop corn balls requires pint
of syrup or molasses, either maple syr-
up, sugar molasses, sorghum or corn
syrup, pint of sugar, two tablespoon.
fuls of butter and teaspoonful Of vine
gar. Cook till the syrup will harden In
cold water, and add half tesspoonful
Of soda dissolved In little hot water.
Pour the hot syrup over four or FIVE
quarts of pop corn, stirring till each
kernel is we'll coated, when 1t may be
pressed with the hands into balls or
nodded into any form desired.
