MONTPELIER

of the Montpelier lodge of Elks, staged
by Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Adams, rep
resenting the John B. Rogers company,
from whose organization some 20 men
went into the war. The play was full
of good hits and will be repeated to-
night with some changes in the person
mel of the actors, although the principal
parts of the cast of characters will be the
same this evening. Those in charge of
the advertising put out the best pro-
gram that has been seen here in many
years. The house was almost full in
spite of the hot weather. There are
nearly 400 persons in the cast so that it
is impossible to give the names of those
taking part. Much Of the singing was
done by persons from Barre, many of
whose townspeople also took part in the
entertainment, and likewise many of the
members of the fraternity who live in
that city were on the different commit
tees to help make the affair a success.
Many of the Barre members of the audi
ence came by automobile, while an extra
car carried many home by trolley serv-
ice

hard to accomplish but the church has

year period, or over 81 900 year. This
conference is for the purpose of round

which has been waged.
