Several points remain to be settled

agreement to be signed. The Poles in
sist that there must be an interval of
six days after signature before the
armistice becomes effective.

MOSCOW, Oct. 7.-Reports receiv-

profound satisfaction over these re-
ports, but it appears to be mixed with
a feeling of distrust. Newspapers de-
clare the readiness of the Poles to
negotiate a treaty of peace may be
attributed.

Barton Gets the d"
Piano Action Factory

Barton gets the piano factory that
New York parties own and operate
and the firm of Vessel, Nickel &
Gross have purchased the Hanson
mill property in the village with the
mill machinery. They expect to use
about so men at the start and this
number will probably be increased
in the near future.
This firm wrote the. Secretary of
State last summer that they wanted
to locate in Vermont near the source
of the maple that was so largely
used in their. product. Two of the
officers made a tour of Vermont
akaut a month ago and were favor
ably impressed with locations in
Wells River, St. Johnsbury and Bar
ton. They made two visits to St.
Johnsbuly where officers of the Com
mercial Club showed them all pos
siblc sites, but they evidently found
a property in Barton that was more
to their liking than anything here.

DINNER FOR
SERBIAN BOYS

A rather unique celebration for
this town took place last Wednes-
day Jan. Z when the Serbian boys
at the Agricultural School held their
Christmas dinner at the Spccdwell
dormitory. In common with the
Greeks and Russians and other
Greek Catholics, the Serbians OBJ
serve the old time calendar which
brings their Christmas day several
days later than with US. On this oc-
casion the Piece dc resistance was a
roast pig, young animal of about
30 pounds being roasted by the boys.
The roasting was done in their ma
tive fashion, out of doors on spit,
and the pig was served with an ac-
compartment of the proper things,
all being done by the boys them
selves. The faculty Of the school
and their wives were invited to the
feast, which they greatly enjoyed, as
well as the singing, games and dane
ing which followed. These young
men are becoming interested in AM
erican life, and acquiring the English
language rapidly. They are all good
linguists, as we'll as fine scholars in
other respects, and the people here
arc beginning to know and like
them, and take a great interest in
their ways. Such national inter-
changes ought TO, work out for the
good of both countries.

Of the prettiest scenes in the
show and was very annoying to
the audience Perhaps these
young men had failed to do the
milking and to feed the stock
before coming to the show, but
surely they might have spared
five minutes more. If they were
in hurry to line up at the stage
door, they were only letting
themselves in for a long cold
wait, as it sure takes time to
wipe off that makeup.

Juryman Excused As
Conscientious
ObjectOr

One Of the interesting episodes
in drawing the jury at Caledonia
County Court in st. Johnsbuly
Tuesday morning for the case
against the insurance companies
was the excuse offered by G. S.
McLam of RycGate that he did
not want to serve ON the jury be
cause he was conscientious OBJ
jector." Asked by the Court what
he meant by that Mr.. McLam
explained that he belonged to the
Covenantel' church and his reli-
gion did not permit him to take
any oath. He said he had never
taken the freeman's oath, his
name was not OIL the Rycgatc
check list and he wondered how
his name happened to be drawn
as juryman. He said he was
an American citizen by BIRTH,
but could not take an oath.
Judge Fish excused him from
serving on the jury and so far rs
could be ascci'taincd this j., the
first ease in our county court
where a juryman has been cXcus-
cd on the ground of being Il con-
scientious obiecto:. The Covcn-
antcr church at R..cM;e is the
only one OF this denomination, it
is said, in the state.

VERMONT WILL
AID NEAR EAST
SUFFERERS
Campaign Now Being Con-
tdncsd ilNvState for War
Stricken Eastern People

A few days before Christmas auto
mobile owners received an appeal
from Roland f.. Stevens, State Cha r.
man of the Near East Relief, to con-
tribute 10 per cent in money of the
horse power of their respective auto
mobiles.
1t will be recalled that about a year
ago Vermont stood at the top notch
position il it's contributions to aid
the suffering peoples Of the countries
of the Near East--countries war
wrecked and whose people were with
out clothing and without food. Vcr-
mont contributed at that time in eX-
cess of $4,000.
Today, again acting as State Chair
man of the Near East Relief, MI.
Stevens again appeals to the gencr-
osity of Vermonters to contribute to
National fund being raised in this
country to lend further aid to these
people in distress. He conceived the
novel idea of appealing to automobile
owners of the State, asking then, to
make their contribution as represent
ing 10 per cent of the horse power OF
their cars.
The responses to this letter of ap-
peal have not been as great as was
anticipated and for this reason Mr..
Stevens again makes an appeal thru
the column Of this newspaper to Vcr-
montcrs to live up to the reputation
they have so generously earned by
their liberal contribution to worthy
causes.

TOBE STARTED
School Board to Start ms
tructiOns Under Federal
Authorization

Taking advantage of the Smith
Hughes Federal law which has very
broad provisions for vocational train
ing the st. Johnsbufy board of school
directors have decided to establish
night schools to teach millinery, stem.
ography, shop mathematics, type
writing and mechanical drawing.
Over 60 applications have been re-
ceived FOR these and other lines of
work from those above school age
who want to become better fitted for
work.
Prof. Dean, professor Of vocation
al education at Columbia University,
has spent several days in st. Johns
bury, being sent here by the state
board of education. He made thor
ough survey of local conditions and
found that there were some 90 peo-
pie who wanted instruction in these
lines: Shop mathematics, mechanical
drawing, stenog1aphy, typewriting,
millinery, pcnmanship, comptoMeter
Calculating machine), and English,
Prof. Dean recommended to the
board that classes be formed in the
first five subjects just mentioned.
If suitable arrangements can be
made with the Academy authorities
the classes in typewriting and stem
og1apher will be held at the COM
ncrcial department rooms in South
Hall. The class in millinery will be
held in the rooms of the Junior
High school and opens next Monday
night. The classes in shop
mathematics and mechanical drawing
will be held in the vocational room
at the scale works.
The present force OF teachers will
be utilized in the instruction and the
taxpayers will be glad to know that
these additional classes will nccessi-
tate no expense to the town as all.
the expense Of the night schools is
borne by the Federal government un-
der the beneficent provisions of the

Of 3. n. Butterfield, son of the late
Gen. F. G. Buttelfield at Derby Line
last night. The fire was discovered
shortly after . o'clock by Henry
Paine, a neighbor. He gave the
alarm. Flames spread so rapidly
that the villagers could do but little
but protect other property. No one
was in the house when the fire broke
out.
Mr.. Butterfcld was attending a
meeting Of the Nelson Hall Com
pany at Montgomery of which he is
director, and Mrs. Butterield was
visiting her sister in town. The
flames were first seen TO burst from
the partitions in the living room. 1t
is believed the fire started from de-
fective wiring or from an overheated
furnace.
