SACRIFICE OF
One ITS SONS
Memorial Service Saturday
to Private Wendell
Edmunds Lord

Groton people turned out in good
numbers Saturday to pay tribute TO
Wendell E. Lord, Co. F, 101st AM
munition Train, 26th Division, A. Z.
T., who died of wounds in France,
Nov. 9Th, 1918, and the dedication OF
a tablet to his memory.
This little Caledonia County town
situated among the green hills of
Vermont showed the stern, depend
able New England character, its 10y
atty and patriotism, when the call
came for overseas service. With a
population of less than 1000, 46 of
her young lads went into the great
world war, Private Lord being the
only one to make the supreme sacri-
fee.
The program as published in Fri
days Caledonian was carried out en-
tire. Chaplain Chauncey A Adams of
the 101st Ammunition Train, who re-
sumed work as pastor of his Danville
parish on return from overseas SER
vice, gave an address that paid elo-
quent tribute to what the boys did
"over there, the call for service in
the fully as serious problems now
before the American people and the
need of service and sacrifice to con-
quer in this present battle for the
uplift of mankind The speaker
brought out the calls for vicarious
suffering, the giving Of ones self for
others for cause in which he had no
part in making. Chaplain Adams
spoke of Private Lords devotion to
duty, his readiness to help others,
how he was prompt and brave in the
calls for service, and the esteem in
which comrades held him. The speak
er referred to the tablet as telling to
future generations his high sense of
duty, loyalty and patriotism. Strik-
ing home to every heart was Chap
lain Adams earnest plea for service
in the great conflict now before the
American people for the preservation
of liberty and justice and the rights
of the individual citizen. Turning to
comrades returned from overseas, the
speaker said they would be untrue to
this comrade and his sacrifice if they
did not take up the call for service
of today

GEO. H. CROSS
DIES SUDDENLY
SUNDAY MORNING
Was One of st. Johnsbury's
Most Successful Busi
ness Men

George H. Cross died very sudden
ly Sunday morning just after he had
completed dressing for church, his
death coming as great shock to this
community.
Mr. Cross was born in Concord
N. H., Feb. 6, 1886, being the son of
Charles Harrison and Caroline
(Houston) Cross. Early in his boy
hood his parents moved to Montpelier
where one of his schoolmates was
Admiral Dewey. After spending a
short time in the west he returned to
Montpelier and entered his fathers
bakery. There he learned the trade
and soon became foreman of the c.
II. Cross and Son plant. In 1860 he
went to Fort Covington, n. Y, where
he remained a few years, and where
he married Dec. "a, 1868, Miss Ellen
Matthews of that place. He came to
St. Johnsbury in 1867 and bought the
bakery that stood near the site of st.
Aloysius church of Col. William p.
Fairbanks. For 25 years he was at
the head of this business which stead
lily grew until in 1897 he built large
and handsome brick structure on
Railroad street. In 1911 he retired
from active business, having become
in the meantime one of the best
known and successful bakers in New
England.
Mr. Cross until the last was active
ly interested in St. Johnsbuly affairs.
He had served as a member of the
school committee for eight years, was
a director and later president Of the
Board of Trade, and was the first
president of the st. Johnsbury Gas
Company He had been for many
years a director in the Merchants
National Bank. For over II years
he has been a deacon in the North
Congregational church and one of
the most faithful attendants at all its
services. He was also vice-president
of the ST. JohlTsbuly Cemetery Asso-
citation.
He leaves besides wife, one
daughter, Jennie p, wife of Dr. J..
Frank Trull of Biddeford, Me-, one
nephew, Charles II Cross 2nd of
Boston, and two nieces, Miss Carrie
l.. Cross and Mrs. d. Lawson, both
of Montpelier. Both his daughter and
Mrs. Anna Somerville Metzgar of
San Francisco, who has been so
closely associated with the family,
were here at the time of Mr.. Cross
death. Mr. and Mrs. Cross lost two
sons, Charles and Harry Matthews
Cross, the latter being associated
with his father il business at the
time of his death in 1911.
Following prayers at the house for
the immediate family there will be
the funeral service at the North
church on Tuesday afternoon at $50.

pacity, and, according to the rules
governing the distribution of alcohol

such alcohol is to be used only in
the course of his practice. This is
his quota for one year. He may OBJ
tain larger supplies by putting up a
bond.
Hospitals are also permitted to
obtain liquor to be dispensed to pa
tients under treatment by complying
with the regulations prescribed by
the commissioner of internal revenue.
All who are permitted to use OF
sell alcoholic liquor will receive per-
mits and serial numbers. The per-
mits are non-transferable and may be
revoked at any time. Holders are
required to post their permits con-

Extraordinary Socks Made
Between Scrubbing Jobs

Miss Irwin, of the White Door
Settlement on Clinton Street,
found among her neighbors an
Austrian woman, nearly seventy
years of age, who does the most
extraordinary knitting. The socks
which she makes are like none that
you have ever seen: they are as
fine as silk, with a deep border of
most beautiful and intricate design
around the top and the most ex-
traordinary heel that ever was
turned" shaped to perfection by
means Of little diagonal bits, and
with a narrow design like a clocl,
up the back Owing to her age this
woman feels that she cannot work
fast enough to make this handiwork
profitable, and so she still goes out
scrubbing and washing by the day.
Miss Irwin is trying to raise little
sinking fund on which the woman

industry on a cooperative basis
'fifty-ffty," as the saying $50
per cent to the worker and so to
the settlement, and as the prices
charged are those which the arti-
cles would bring in any first-class
shop it means very good profit
for both.
One of the oldest Of the indus
tries for foreign women is the
Scuola d'Industrie Italiane, which
for the last fourteen years has been
carrying on it's work at lit Mac
dougal Street. This industry was
founded by a group Of people, both
American and Italian, who were
anxious to revive the beautiful
Italian needlework among the Ital-
ian women of America. The. word
"Scuola" is not used in it's modern
idea of training workers and send
ing them out into the world to ply
their trade, but rather in the Old
World sense Of a place where mas
ter and artisan work side by side
in the production of objects which
are beautiful as we'll as useful.
And there is decidedly Old World
atmosphere about the school, par
ticularly during these summer days,
when it's sessions are held in the
little green yard at the back
of the building. Here twelve
brown-eyed young Italian women
sit stitching away on bits of linen
while the sun shines through the
leaves of the ailanthus trees, a ca
