Church Services in Bruno.

Last Sunday we had a very
good attendance at church SER
vices. We closed up the old year
by worshiping the Lord. May
we begin the New Year with His
presence, and may we all assem-
bic in His courts. Much has
been said in the newspapers and
from the pulpit about the new
era movement in the Presbyter-
ian church at large. 1t is a move
ment that calls for new courage
and greater faith in US all. It is
an attempt to vitalize and unity
the works Of the church so that
it may meet the needs of the
day. It is fourfold in its pur-
pose.
First-To re-establish the fam
lily alter in every Presbyterian
home.
Second-To awaken a spirit of
personal evangelism.
Third-To secure a real Sab
bath for every community.
Fourth-To make plain in a
new way the missionary task of
the church.
The movement is projected on
a five year basis and it hopes to
enlist every family in the Pres
byterian church. Next Sunday
is to be re-enlistment day. The
pastor will explain the move
ment more fully that day.
The services will close with
the sacrament Of the Lords Sup
per. Every Christian, no matter
what church he belongs to, is
cordially invited to attend this
communion service and partake
with us of the elements of the
body and blood of Jesus Christ.
Let us not miss this opportunity
for He has told us Take eat;
take drink; this do in remem-
brance of Me-"
Sunday school opens at 10 a.

this true saying: "Right-forma-
ton is better than reformation

acter of the children right so
that they won't have to be re-
formed when they get older. We
invite everybody to come out to

FANS CHEER
TEAM TO VICTORY
The Home Team Put Up a
Real Game Saturday
and Won

The snappiest ball game that has
been seen on the Campus for many a
day was played Saturday afternoon
with over 200 fans cheering at cru
cial moments and st. Johnsbury de-
,eated Woodsville 5 to 4. The home
nine had been greatly strengthened
and the infield was never better Lee
land proved a star pitcher and Con-
| nor not only played his position, but
helped in tight places elsewhere and
made some thrilling plays. Umpire
Brown gave splendid satisfaction and
his decisions were exceptionally fair.
One of the notable features of the
game was that many of the batters
made their hits on the first ball pit
ched and only two or three times
during the game did more than three
players get a chance to bat in the
same inning.
Sullivan tried his best to win the
game in the seventh inning by strik-
ing out st. Johnsbury's heaviest hit
5ers and in the ninth Larty reached
home on three base hit. This great
ly cheered the Woodsville fans, but
with two men out the game ended
when Woodsvills next batter
struck out. The hitting was heavy
and the errors were few on both
sides and everybody got their money
worth at the game. The summary:

CHOLERA KILLS
FEWER HOGS

According to records of the United
States Department of Agriculture for
the Is months from April 1, 1918, TO
April so, 1919, hog cholera killed g.
815,004 hogs, valued at $62,042,688. 16,
in the United States. This is the
lowest loss by numbers for a similar
period in the livestock history of the
United States, but on account of the
high price of hogs the monetary loss
was heavy. For example, during the
year ending March 81, 1918, hogs
numbering 6,064,470 and worth $685.
833,653 died from cholera, while the
next year the disease took G,304,320
hogs worth $67,697,4 61.
Department experiments show chat
timeliness in vaccinating hogs against
cholera is all important. When ex-
posed hogs were vaccinatcd, while
still apparently healthy, losses
amounted to only per cent, but
when vaccination was deferred until
the animals showed external signs of
sickness, losses averaged nearly 80
per cent. This shows that the man
who puts off the preventive treatment
until his hogs are sick with cholera
stands only about one chance in seven
Of preventing fatal results. 1t is i'm
portant, also, to maintain hog yards
and barns in clean and sanitary con-
dition.

FINDING TRUCKS EFFECT
ON ROADS

To determine the destructive effect
of heavily loaded auto trucks on
highways and streets, and to NEE
the demand for data on the design of
road surfaces and foundations -
withstand such heavy traffic, a series
of experiments is being conducted by
the Bureau of Public Roads, United
States Department of Agriculture, at
the Arlington Experimental Farm to
determine the impact of auto trucks
on roads.
The most striking single develop
ment in the highway field in 1918 was
the tremendous increase in motor
truck traffic. Five years ago heavy
motor trucks were few in number
and limited practically entirely to the
paved streets of larger cities. These
vehicles now comprise probably to
5 per cent of the grand total of all
motor vehicles and are to be found
wherever traffic conditions permit
profitable use. But very few roads
were designed to carry any large
volume of this class of traffic. Con-
sequently, the cost of adequate
maintenance was increased greatly
during the year. In many places the
damage due to the incessant pound
ing OF these fast and heavy vehicles
was so great as to require complete
reconstruction.

ROAD BUILDING


Since early in 1919 there has been
a steady increase each month in the
Federal ala business in the Bureau
of Public Roads of the United States
Department of Agriculture. States
in all sections of the country are FL
ing their projects and receiving al
lotments. The road building era is
in full swing, and it would seem
that the end is not yet. All indi-
cations points to greater records IN
the months Immediately to come.
Based on complete reports from Al
of the States cash expenditures ON
the rural roads and bridges of the
United States for the calendar year
1918 amounted to $286,09S,193. To
this should be added the value Of
statute and convict labor, which can
not be fixed with any great degree OF
accuracy but probably amounted to
not less than $14,000,000, thus MAX
ing the grand total expenditures for
the year $300,000,000 This total is
made up of the actual expenditures.
for such items as labor, materials,
supervision and administration di-
rectly connected with the construc-
ton, improvement, and upkeep of
public roads and bridges outside the
limits of incorporated towns and CT
ties, and does not include any item
for sinking fund payments or re-
demption and interest on road and
bridge bonds.
The year 1918 offered an unprece-
denied condition in practically all
lines of highway work. There was
not only tremendous increase and
expansion in the aomunt of heavy
truck traffic on public roads and an
unprecedented shortage in regard to
road materials, labor, and ready
funds, but also decided increase IN
work, which was, how
ever, partially offset by decrease mi
the amount of new construction.

COUNTY EXHIBITS
New Features to Be introduced al
the Vermont State Fair
in September

titutions of the Vermont State Fair
commission will introduce an innova-
ton in the way OF county agricultural
exhibits at the State Fair, White

plans are under way for the Farm
Bureaus to make these exhibits.

tries to date.
The exhibits will consist of the
agricultural products of the county
arranged in booths Approximately ten

sion has offered a cup tenable one
year to the county making the best
display of products. In awarding the
cup the quantity of the product, the
quality, the economic importance and
the arrangement will all be consider
ed.
The feature promises to be of
much interest to all farmers and the
rivalry between the bureaus is sure
to be keen.
The amusement committee of the
State Fair commission is giving much
attention to the free vaudeville ana
many up-to-date open air attractions
have already been booked.
Many automobile parties are or
ganizing both in Vermont and New
Hampshire to attend the Vermont
