MIDSUMMER
OUTING OF
THE PYTHIANS
Lodges and Temples Will
Rendezvous at Harvey's
Pond August ii

An enthusiastic meeting of Pythian
brothers and sisters was held at the
castle hall of Apollo Lodge Thursday
evening in preparation for Pythian
field day to be celebrated by the local
Pythian district. Delegations were
present from McIndoes, Danville and
Lyndonville with District Deputy w.
c. Heath of Danville presiding. A
number of the Pythian Sisters from
Glover Temple and Danville Green
Temple added to the enjoyment of
the evening. 1t was decided to hold
an old-fashioned picnic with sports,
speeches and dancing at Harvey's
Pond in West Barnet on the after
noon and evening of Saturday, Aug.
Ia. Eminent speakers will be present
and it is expected that the affair
the first Pythian field day since the
world war-will equal if not surpass
the successes of similar gatherings in
other days.
H. C. Kent of McIndoe is looking
after the business side of the picnic,
assisted by the Chancellor Command
CTS and Chiefs of the other lodges and
temples in the district.
The midsummer outing will be
purely Pythian celebration to
which all brothers and sisters of the
order are invited, together with their
families and friends. After it is all
over these Pythians who have not at
tended will surely have cause for re-
gret, for the Pythian declare it is go
ing to be one grand time.

BRALEY'S
SIGNATURE
MAY Be FORGED
Discoveries Lead to Belief
In Foul Play in Mysteri
Gus Disappearance

The further examination into the
affairs of Fred N. Bradley, cousin Of
c. G. Bralcy of st. Johnsbury, whose
private papers, will, and some per-
sonal effects were found in Il Port
land, Oregon Park has brought little
more to light. The discovery was
made by shcerest accident by Ben
Bctchcl, druggist of Portland, who
was hiking through the toughest
part of Macleay Park when he fell
through into cache six feet long
and two and one-half feet wide. At
one end it was four feet deep, at the
other, about two and onc-half feet.
Search for Il body was made by
Betchel when he brought a compan-
ion with him the next dav, and failing
of that they did discover the other
things in two half-gallon glass fruit
jars.
Foul play is suspected. In the first
place, several tracings of his sigma
turc were found, giving rise to a be-
lief that his property had fallen into
the hands of some othcr people who
were trying to obtain possession OF
more. There wer several checks f
fairly large amounts on large banks
with no payee designated, but with
the signature erred N. Bradley"
thereon One of these was on the
Bankers Trust Co., one of Inc larg-
est institutions in the country. There
were numerous blank powers of at
torney on California forms, all
bearing the signature, together with
some quitclaim deeds on Texas oil
property. 1t is therefore thought
possible that this property may have
been appropriated by some one, the
man killed, and the property hidden
so that it might be made use of in
the future. But the coroner of Port
land has found no unidentified body
which might be that of Bradley, who
was described at 5 it. 1 in. and
weighing 100 lbs.
Braley was of unquestioned bust
ness vcracity both in Portland and
Barre, where he was an influential
citizen. His property is in the hands
of George Gcarhart, an Oregon at
torney, who is COMPLYING with the
Oregon law of unidentified property,

The village trustees have mapped

til it arrives in st. Johnsbury it will
be impossible to crush the stone for
the foundation of the streets or for

the steam roller is beinc used on
Portland street where the highway is
being spiked and rolled. This meth

ZOO MILES HOUR
Packard Motor Co. Develop
100000 Engine for
Airplane

c. H. Goss Co. has received from
the Packard Motor Car Co., of De-
troit news which will astonish the
motor world. Col. Jesse D. Vincent,
one of the creators of the Liberty
motor, has designed for the Packard
Co., a new 100000 horse power air
cnpine, the most powerful in the
world except for few racing freaks.
1t is expected to develop far greater
speeds than any vet achieved. More
over it is fircproof, and can be start
ed when "cold" after a long dive,
this ending the two greatest dam
gers which aviators have had to face.
In spite of it's mower the new en-
CINE is no freak. 1t is DESIGNED for
steady lonp-time service, and while
it is expected to send plane along
at least 200 miles an hour, it was not
planned for this purpose alone, and
is capable of wide and General use. 1t
weighs only 1.94 lbs. per horse
power.
There arc several notable advances
on the Liberty and other airplanc
motors. 1t is firjc-proof for all civil
purposes. This has been attained bv
putting the carburctor below and
outside the crankcasc, with all vents
outside the cowlinp so that there is
no danger from back fire. Another
change is that there arc two inlet
and two outlet valves per cylinder in
stead of one, insuring a steadier flow
of oas to the cylinders. The third
change is the most unusual in air.
