American Legion
Building Fund Boosted

The Metal Trades Shows which
gave their entertainment on Gilman's
Meadow on Portlant Street last week
under the auspices of the local post
of the American Legion increased
the building fund of W. Il. Knapp
post by approximately $500 under
the terms of the agreement with
them. The veterans already had
about $500 set aside for the purpose,
and this money has boosted it quite a
bit. The idea behind the fund is a
home for the veterans of st. Johns
bury, which would contain many of
the features of a club house. The
cost of such building is estimated
at several thousand dollars, and it
realization is still in the distant fu-
ture, but /all the soldiers feel that it
is worth working for regardless of
how slowly the fund grows.
The expenses of the show were
rather heavy, and some of them de-
volved upon the American Legion.
They received about $500 under the
arrangement of receiving Is per cent
of the receipts, indicating that about
$4,000 were taken in. That the show
managers were as straight and as
honest as could be desired was vouch-
ed for by the man VINO handled the
money for the American Legion.
They settled up every night while
the shows were in progress. The
advertising which the Lepion sold in
the show programs just about paid
for their part of the operatino ex-
penses, so that the income from the
shows was clear profit.
The committee in charge of the
show was headed by Paul Gilman and
included John Tinker, Louis Kimball
in addition. There were numerous
subcommittee.

out. His brother, Emery, was allow
ed to return to his home at st. Syl-
vestef, Canada.
According to the story given be-
fore Commissioner W. H. Cleary at
a hearing on Saturday afternoon,
while the men were en- route to the
United States, man on the tram
told them that they could get the Ca
madam in and explained how it could
be done. The method was the sub
stitution of some real citizens papers
for those of the Canadian, so that he
might unter as citizen in someone
else's place. The suspicious of the
officers were aroused and they
brought both men to Commissioner
Clealy at the Court House. Deputy
Sheriff Skinner placed the offender in
jail, and the alien was sent away.

$4,000 LOSS in
SPECTACULAR
NEWPORT FIRE
Farm Buildings of Joseph
LavOie Near Canadian
Line are Total Loss

A spectacular blaze lighted up the
skv and made a beautiful reflection
in the waters of Lake Memphrema-
gog on Saturday night when the farm
buildings of Joseph Lavoie We're to-
tally consumed by fire. The fire was
as disastrous as it was beautiful. La
voic's farm is the last farm in Yer
mont, located next to the Canadian
Line, and therefore is quite removed
from fire fighting arrangements.
The blaze is thought to have orl-
ginated from spontaneous combus-
ton in the hav barn. That building
was the first to catch, and the
flames seemed to sweep through it
like wildfre. The fire shot up a
column of flame that was visible for
many miles, wild showers of sparks
setted on the other buildings near
by, and the sheds and dwelling house
were soon burning viciously. People
from farms all over the vicinitv gath
cred quickly and ATTEMPTED to COM
bat the greedy flames, but the fire
had much too good a start on them
and their efforts were fruitless.
Mr.. Lavoie and his family were
said to be at the carnival at New
port when the fire broke out, and be-
fore they could get to it the buildings
were razed His loss will reckon up
at least $4,000, as the buildings
could not be replaced for less. In
addition to that, stock, farm tools and
over 100 tons of hay, the value cf
which could not be estimated, were
DESTROYED
