BLOUSE SLIPS OVER HEAD
Late Paris Arrival Has Round Neck Opening and Fastens Along
 One Shoulder.

Something very new and quite the latest thing in Paris is a blouse that has d round neck opening and slips over the head, fastening along one shoulder. The sleeves are cut kimOnO style, in one with the garment, and reach midway between shoulder and elbow. There is no fit to the blouse, which hangs in straight, soft lines from neck to hip, a knOtted silk cord or narrow sash holding in the material at a low Waistline. 4 most artistic and picturesque blouse is 'Ia casaque" and ideally comfortable for lOunging about the house, but it rather lacks the fOrmaltty as an aWay-from-hOme garment, although in Paris these loose blouSes, almost without sleeves, are seen everywhere-in the street, at the restaurants and on the tennis courts Sometimes the material is soft silk crepe, sometimes chiffon is used, and auting bIOuSeS in la caSaQue style are of thin, white tub silk or satin, with hemstitching around.

TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. IS (Corres! pondence of Associated Press) 1.-The cowboys are going to college now in Arizona.

 The course began here August 4 with week of lectures and class room work and now the class is on it's way through the principal cattle growing sections of this state.

OPERA TO BE , PERFORMED IN
 REDWOOD PARK
Arcadian Surroundings for Stage Settings, and Wild Deer Will Participate
 in Unque Drama

CALIFORNIA REDWOOD PARK, Aug. IS (by maiD.-In the forest primeval, beneath sempervirens tow ering three hundred feet, which were ancient forest monarchs even at the time NOah's Ark is recorded as hay ing rested on Mount Ararat, 2348 B.C., Californians and visitors will gather here September 6 to witness '"The Soul of Sequoia" It is an Indian opera, and it's premiere here will mark the first time in the history of Open-air drama that a complete h. dian opera has been produced in the natural redwood forest.
 Unique features in a setting of grandeurs surround this effect of California composer, Thomas Vim cent Gator of San Jose, and a Cali fornia author, Don w. Richards, to produce a history of the giant red wood trees in song and drama. Their efforts are supported by the Semper- yirens club of California, which is financing the production solely in the interests of the California Redwood park, a state park with free camp sites. water, fireplaces and limbWOOd for Californians and visitors.
 In the heart of the great Big Basin, Santa Cruz county, a majestic am- phitheater, is an inner amphitheater in which the production will be staged.
 Wild deer will be participants in the drama. A. M. Weaver, assistant state warden of the park, has trained these timid animals. For more than two years Warden Weaver has each morning and evening called to the wild deer, who have answered from miles around and sped to his offer ings of sugar apples and barley.
 Mammoth pillars of living redwood, five thousand years and more of age, form the encircling background to the natural stage upon which this drama is to be produced. This nat ural forest theater accommodates more than five thousand people.
 California Redwood Park, set apart bv the State in 1901 as a public park consists of ten thousand acres of virgin forest. It is thirty-three miles from San Jose, seventy miles from San Francisco, twenty-siX miles from Santa Cruz and is reached by good mountain roads.

NV YORK, Aug. 25 (by Associated Press) The election of William A.. Appleton as president of the Interna- tiOnal Federation of Trade Unions at the recent congress of that feder- atiOn in Amsterdam is characterized as a hopeful sign by the American Alliance for Labor and Democracy in statement issued here.

Pretty Young Women
 Lures for HoIdups

PrOvidence.-TwO fascinating young women so charmed Mic ola MuZzariO at eight o'clock the other evening while in a shoe shining parlor that he readily consented to take a walk with them when asked.
 When near the Arthur avenue bridge young man stepped from behind a building and pointed a revolver at MuzzariO demanding his money, and prodded him in the stomach with the fighting end of the gun. He allowed the young man to re- move $35 in money from his pockets. The highwayman then made his escape.

The Essex County Herald:
For several years past have
ound it EXTREMITY difficult to secure
ompetent young men whom I might
ppoint to the Military School at
lest Point or the Naval Academy at
nnapolis.
1t seems to me that this fact does
OF speak well for the young men of
ermont and l shall be glad if you
an find some way to stimulate an
mbition on the part of some of the
boys in your school to fit themselves
to enter the service of their country
at one or the other of these institu-
tions
l have ben in the habit of holding
competitive examinations and ap-
pointing the young man who stood
highest in these examinations regard
less of his political or personal sur
roundngs.
At the last examination held, but
one boy appeared and l appointed
him, but he failed to meet the test
when he came up for the final ex-
aminations.
now have two appointments at
Annoplis and one at West Point to
fill.
May l ask that you will in some
way find occasion to elaborate upon
this matter and at some proper time
speak for these wonderfully fine
schools and see if you cannot ncour-
cage some of the scholars to fit them
seves for the training which these
schools give.
The necessary literature to enable
young man to know what is requir-
ed as a prerequisite for admission tc
these schools will be sent to anyone
writing me therefor.
In short, the requirments for the
Army are that the appointee must
be an actual resident Of the state
not under II or over % on the date
of admission and not less than 5 feet
A inches at the age of II. For the
navy the candidate must be not les!
than 16 nor more than 20. In botl
instances he must possess good healtl

Boys League Ball Team

The Island Pond Boys Ball
team visited Newport again
last Saturday, to play off their
rubber honours, each team
having met twice previously,
once at Island Pond and once
at Newport, each team also re-
corded win, so that another
game was necessary in order
to claim the honours.
The spin of the coin gave the
Newport boys the advantage
of playing on their own ground
the weather was so wretched
that the game was called off,
after two innings had been
played, thus the boys had a
! fruitless journey, much to the
disappointment of all concern
ed.
However, the teams will
meet again this time, our boys
are fortunate to play at home.
But at the time of going to
! press it has not been finally de-
cided.
The Berlin boys are due for
a game with Island Pond boys
and no matter which team is
here, lovers of our National
past-time will see game
worth while. Saturdays game
will be a corker, especially if
Newport boys come, ,as our boys
and Newport boys are keen riv
ais, and if these two teams are
matched again, it will be a case
of Greek meeting Greek.
These boys games are also
being arranged as test games,
in view of the formation of a
Boys League for next season,
which is wei underway. The
towns applying for admission
are Berlin, Lancaster, Grove
ton, North Stratford, Newport.
St. Johnsbury, Lyndonville, and
Island Pond. The League will
be known as the New Hamp-
shire and Vermont Boys Base
Ball League, and will be con-
trolled- by an adult represent
atiVe from each town, who
will act as the League Commit
tee. It is probable that Mr..
j. C. Hutchins of North STRAIT
ford will be appointed chair
man. The representative com
mittee will draw up the rules
also arrange all playing dates,
each team will play each other
twice, once at home and once
away. The League standing
will be published weekly, also
the batting and pitching aver
ages.
This will show each town
the exact position their boys
occupy on the League table.
A beautiful pennant will be
placed for competition, which
will become the property of the
League leaders, 1t the end of
the tournament.
! To overcome the necessary
travelling expenses, the home
team in each case, will be re-
sponsible for visiting teams,
this can be easily met if the
various towns interested will
support the boys.
Island Pond is sadly in need
of a playground, cannot some
thing be done, it is regrettable
to know that Island Pond is
the only town constituting this
proposed Boys League that
has no playground, except 60
in gaway over to Warmers
grove, a distance altogether too
far to enable either the Town
or Boys team to get it's proper
support. Now come on all
lovers of the game, do some
thing, support and encourage
these boys. They have the
"grit" and in time to come will
award you for your support, so
rally up to Warmers grove on
Saturday. A meeting of the
representative committee of
the proposed Boys League is
soon to be held. Mr.. A. P.
Speers will attend and repre-
sent Island Pond Boys. Should
they win on Saturday it will
strengthen their claim to be ad-

WORK ON GROVE ST.
Bids Will Be Opened At Hart
ford September 2 at Two
O'clock.

The state highway department is
ready to start work on state high
ways in several towns in the state,
among which is Putnam, where Groye
street is to be improved. The sealed
proposals will be received at the office
of the department at the capitol up to
2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 2.
From this announcement it would
seem that the work in Putnam would
be done this fall. and it will be one OF
the greatest highway improvements
that the town has had in years. Grove
street has been the only really bad
piece of main trunk line coming into
Putnam, and when it is finished by
the state highway department Put
nam will be easy of ingress and egress
on all sides, which should attract peo-

FIRE THREATENED
,EASTFORD VILLAGE
Hard Work By Volunteer Fire
Fighters Confined Flames
to Ell of House


A fire that broke out in the home
of Archie Green in Eastford just
north of the Bowen store, Monday
night, for a time threatened the whole
village and only hard work of the
more than hundred volunteer fire
fighters confined the flames to the
building where the fire started. There
was no wind and this was a factor in
helping the fire fighters, as was the
fact that there was pond only hum
dred feet away. The only means OF
battling with the flames was with
buckets ,as there is no fire fighting
apparatus in the village. Men with
axes practically severed the burning
ell from the main building and citi-
zen who was present highly compli-
ments the villagers for the great
work done.
The home occupied by Mr.. Green
and family is owned by Frank G. Sly
of Woodstock. II is a large two
story house with barn. The loss, it Is
estimated, will come within $500. The
goods were removed from the Bowen
store nearby and the household be.
longings of Welcome Davis, q neigh
Dor, were taken from the house,
which shows that for time the
neighborhood was frightened at the
outlook.
The fire was discovered about 10
o'clock by Rev. Frank T. Meaciam
and Frank Buell., who were on their
way home from a church meeting at
the home of Gilbert s. Dean. They
saw flames in back room OF the
house and also just coming through
the roof of the ell. Both men set up
a cry of fire." and Mr.. Buell. drove
about the village arousing the people
crowd was soon at work fighting
the flames. In the meantime Mr..
Green, his wife and three children
had been aroused and came out. Ths
household goods were taken from the
burning building and scarcely any
personal property was lost. He'll
was sought in Putnam and Whitman
tie, but as the fire was soon undel
control it was not needed and did no
respond.
