Island Pond Boy Returns

v Raymond, son of Mrs. Grace Chris
tie arrived from overseas Tuesday
p. m. tSo0n aftfr the death of his
father he went to the North West to
reside with an uncle, Victor Christie
and when only seventeen he volun-
teered his services with the Cana
dian Forces and was accepted being
in the the 10th Battalion, Co. B.
He has seen nearly two years of
trench service and can no doubt tell
of many hard experiences. He
landed IN Montreal by way of Hall
fax Easter Sunday and has received
his honorable discharge with one
months lay over before returning to
the North West.
A clearer idea of the rejoicing may
be understood when we realize that
he had not seen any of the family for
nearly ten years, having left as a
young boy and returning stalwart
yound man, an 'honored representa-
tive of one of our noble allied forces.

EASTER SERVICES
v v "

The goodly number of people who
attended the Easter services at the
Congregational church were given an
unusual musical treat.
In the morning, after an anthem
by the choir, Mrs. Jefts sang very
feelingly, "Behold stand at the Door
and Knock"
In the evening the whole service
was given over to a Cantata of the
Easter story, Redemption Song"
Solo parts were taken by Mrs. Jefts
Miss Jennie Leather, Mr.. Claude Fos-
ter and Philip Bartlett with splendid
effect
Various pleasing combinations Of
voices made the Cantata free of any
hint of monotony. The full chorus
work was exceptionally good.
Especial crsdit ahould be given to
Mrs. Robert Lawton, organist, for
the time and energy which she gave
to training the choir for such splen-
did concerted effort. Each one knew
and carried ont their own part we'll
and made beautiful and harmonious
whole. "

40th Anniversary
v v q

v Sunday evening April 20 was the
occasion of most pleasant gather
ing at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. L. ].
Payeur, it being the occasion of
teir 40th wedding anniversary. The
surprise visit had been planned by
their children and with help of near
friends was kept secret which was
plainly observed when about thirty
or more arrived all at once, having
previously assembled at their sons
home. Five of the seven children
were present. An orchestra of home
talent was in attendance and fur
.nished most delightful music which
was heighly enjoyed and appreciated
by all present.
y Refreshments of assorted sand
wiches, cakes coffee, ice-cream and
fudge were enjoyed. During the
evening, the elderly "newly-weds,"
were presented dining table and
chairs, along with other gifts. Mr..
W. A. Gleeson, in his usual pleasing
manner, presented the gifts in be-
half of relatives and friends. The
remarks alluded to their lives since
the bridal day, 40 years ago, to the
present time and were in every way
appropriate and appreciative of the
goodness and respectively of these
good people who have been in an
midst for the years that have proved
their worth. The company dispersed
all wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Payeur to
still be among us to gether again for
a similar occasion ten years hence.

Millions Paid by Motorists
N % q

The people Of Vermont within a
few years have seen the amount of
revenue derived by the State treas
ury from automobile license increase
from nothing to about 100000 and
the chances are that the aggregate
reported last year will be made ma
terially increaed in 1919. That the
fund is available for the improve
ment of our highways but it is q
serious question whether the auto
fund makes good the extra wear and
tear on our roads, and particularly
that Of heavy trucks. BE this as it
may, the fund resulting from the tax
ing of motor cars in various ways is
rapidly increasing.
During the year 1918 passenger
cars and motor trucks paid in license
fees to the various State treasures in
this country the enormous sum Of
$4A;496,232.33. New York paid
more for tags than any other State
the license fees collected by secre-
.tary Of State, Hugo of New York,

Cold Dealers Apprensive ~
Consumers Warned: Buy Early
and Avoid Shortage and
High Prices
Fuel Administration and Coal Deal
era Foresse Serious Results -.

" NJ ~
In an inquiry conducted by local
newspapers, following the Fuel Ad-
ministratien's warning Of March 20
much light was cast upon the coal
situation with which we believe the
consumer should be acquainted. ~
The Fuel Administration again
urges early buying of coal in its
announcement:
If the Winter just ended had
been a severe one, the large
stocks winch the industries and
domestic consumers had on hand
last fall, would now be entirely
used up, assuming that production
had continued unchanged,
"Shonld next winter be much
more severe than the one just
past, state of shortage is like
ly to result, unless coal is min
ed and transported during the
Coming summer"
Inquiry developed the fact that
mine production of coal is running
so per cent below full-time OUTPUT,
because there is such light demand,
Local coal nien emphatically CON
frmed the statemon of the FHel
Administration. Their views are
practically unanimous They say
that there must be demand on the
part of the consumer or the coal will
not be prodneed. This is so because
the anthracite producers have .sror-
age facilities for OILY 10 per cent of
their years output and the dHalers
of the COUNTY, can store about 2ano-
ther 10 percent. The storage space
for soft caat is practically all in the
consumers bins. It is evident that
the consumers must order and re-
sceive the coal therefore, OF it will
mot be prnduced. And even If it
could be produced in the six ms1,ths
of fall an0 winter, the railroads
would be ENABLE 10 handle this con
soontratea Eyver-production-
Ne expression as to prices aDuld

were uncertain. Some Df The anthra-
tcite operators have already an

hut an increase of ten GENTS sach
month beginning May1st up to Rnd
including September. II this plan
should befollowed by all the compsn-
les, the early buyers will not only be
sure of tkeTr coal but VIII save men

The dealers emphasize The neccs-
:sity for Orders, and frankly confess
they do mt known what prices will
be, although not one could be found
who would say he looked for lreduct
ions. Several dealers were so inn
pressed witt the seriousness of the
outlook that they said they iIftend to
announce thr rough the press just what
they know aDout conditions so that
the consumer may at least he fully

Personally, we believe we shall or

will furnish four bedrooms. a Z by
ll-foot dining room, with similar
room for general purposes, and 20
by 5s4 foot garage. Screened win
dows with storm flaps keep out mos
quitoes and bad weather. Another
feature which recommends this new
accessory is the fact that the tent is
not dependent on the auto for sup
port. Hence the family may take an
evening ride to t.e local movies, or
other trip, after the labor of pitch
ing tent and cooking supper.
