LUCY BOWMAN MATTISON
laS3--Ioly

Early in the morning on Sunday,
May IL, Mrs. Mattison passed peace
fully away from the village life Of
which for so many years she had been
d part. She had been very III early
in the winter and her death was ex-
pected for days but she rallied and
was seen again on the, street in usual
health until very few days before
her death She had moved to the
home Of Mrs. Earle S. Marsh. where
she enjoyed so much TO be, and was
tenderly cared for by that family as
well AS by her own children and the
nurse and doctor.
The funeral service was held at the
Episcopal Church May IL, Rev. w. H..
Bamford officiating.
Mrs. Mattison was born in Dandy
andswas GO years old. In 1870 she was
married to H. w. Madison. who died
December Is, 1909. Five children
blessed their home, one of whom, Bert,
died in 1912. Four survive: Carl,
postmaster at Manchester Center;
Vincent Of Portsmouth, N. H.; Grover
of Manchester Center, and Mrs. A. j..
Hicks of Manchester Depot. She
leaves also IL grand children and one
sister, Mrs. Frank Pierce Of Oxford,
Mass.
Mrs. Madison was a quiet little
woman, devoted friend and neighbor.
She was a member of Zion Episcopal
Church and while not able to attend
regularly was always interested in its
work. Those who knew her best speak
Of her great unselfshness as the out
standing quality Of her character.
Others We're always her first thought.
If only she might serve some ones
interests and be no possible burden she
was happy. 1t is comfort to believe
that now freed from earthly limita-
lions she may realize her ambitions
and serve those she so longed to help
when bodily infrmity proved bar
.rier

had pulmonary hemorrhage which
has left him in bad shape and IL will
be several months before he will be
able TO do very much hard work
In the last few weeks the attention
and energies Of the Methodist Church
throughout the entire country have
been centered on the financial drive Of
the Centenary Movement. The goal
OF this movement was set at 500, 900,
900 to be used for the home and for
eign missionary work of the church,
this amount TO be divided almost
equally between the who phases of
church extension work. Reports re-
eeived early this week state that about
sS7, ZOO, 900 has already been raised
and the reports were very incomplete
from some sections. The local church
has been doing its part in this drive
and up to date has little over 81 500
to report with the expectation Of still
more to come.
While John Stannard, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Stannard of this place,
was coming from Dorset last Saturday
Afternoon with DR.. Calahan's motor
cycle with a party in the side car, he
skidded into the stone bridge near the
home of Alvin Waters with sufficient
force to very severely injure himself
and smash the machine. The injured
youth was taken on the evening train
to the Putnam Memorial Hospital in
Bennington where il was found that he
had compound fracture of the right
leg and il is feared other injuries.
Young Stannard has been in the en-
ploy of DIR. Callahan for some time and
the doctor has his case in charge at
the hospital. He was also accompan-
led to Bennington by the district
nurse, Miss Sarah Brown.
In recent issue Of the Burlington
News appeared the following article
relative to a young man well known in
this village, and nephew Of w. H.
Roberts: Capt. Douglas j. Roberts,
son Of Mr. and Mrs. James Ross Rob-
erts Of Bank street, has been promot-
ed to the rank of major in the medical
corps of the United States Army, ae-
cording to word just reaching here.
Major Roberts is in charge of the x
ray department of Base Hospital No.
81, A. +. r. France. Major Roberts
entered the service at the outbreak of
the war, beginning his service by
assisting at Bridgeport, Conn.,, and
was afterwards assigned to the Cor
neil Medical College unit as U. S.
Army Instructor and helped install the
hospital at Cape May, N. j. For this
he received his promotion to a cap
taincy. He was later assigned to
Camp Greenleaf, Chickamauga Park,
Ga, and from there went overseas
where he has been for year, most Of
the time associated with Base Hos
pital No. 81. Among other notaSles
that Major Roberts has treated as
patients is General Pershing, whom

probably be given to the State. The
effort is still to be made to secure the
colors Of the l0lst ammunition train
on two grounds, namely that the train
was composed for the most part of
Vermonters and secondly that these
boys furnished most of the money to
buy the colors that were carried in
the parade last month in Boston, so
that there is feeling that Vermont is
entitled TO the colors.
Major Munsel claims Vermont is
also entitled to the colors of the l03rd
Machine un Battalion on the ground
that the boys from this State supplied
most of the funds to buy the colors,
but that matter is not yet reached in
the effort of securing flags carried
Ger Vermont boys in the world war.

Want pork price to Hold.

That the present minimum prices on
nork be maintained is the appeal made
to the United States food administra-
ton by the Wisconsin Live Stock
Breeders association. Increased pro-
duction was accomplished at high cost,
at the appeal of the government for
food, the breeders declare, and now
they contend they should be allowed
to reap the cost of this extra effort.
Unless the prices are maintained the
brood sows will be turned into pork
and production decreased nearly 30 per
cent.
