BURLINGTON ElKS
OBSERVE FLAG DAY
Patriotic Address by Frank Con-
roy d Boston Leading Feature
of Exercises at Battery Park
Urges Spirit of Goodwill
and Harmony

Many hundreds OF people wero at
tracted to Battery park Sunday af-
ternoon when the Burlington lodge of
EIks observed Flag Day with the
usual impressive ceremonies. The ad-
dress was given by the Hon. Frank
Conroy of Boston and was an eloquent
effort, the effect of which all carried
home with them.
The Elks, headed by a platoon of
police and Sherman's band, marched to
the park and the number in the process
sion was large. In tho park the Off
GERS, orator and invited guests were
seated on a platform which had been
constructed near the band stand where
Sherman's band was stationed. All
Elks carried flags and the platform was
literally decorated with them.
B. J. Boynton, exalted ruler presid-
ed and he, with Ezra NJ. Horton. Harry
T. Bacon, Harry A. Butler and Howard
S. Crane, officers of the lodge carried
out the Introductory exercises. These
exercises were instructive as we'll as
expressive of patriotic sentiment Fol-
lowing these exercises prayer was Of
fered by Ezra NJ. Horton. After a Sc
lection by the band. william 3. Nc
-
which told of the struggle in tho early
days and of the final choice of the en-
blem as it is to-day.
MIR. Conroy said, in opening thot 1t
was eminently fitting that the Elks
should celebrate the 143rd birthday of
the flag. The Elks are typically Amer
ican and occupy a place in this country
because of their patriotism which il
not duplicated in any other country in
the world. Tho Elks from the very first
have held patriotism as one of the
first essentials and no ono not a citizen
of the United States can be admitted
to membership.
Mr.. Conroy aInplified his statement
by telling of the prominent men in the
army and navy who are Elks. During
the war, the Elks through their sub
ordinate lodge funds, purchased about
100000 of Liberty Bonds. The or
ganization contributed $4,000, 900 to the
Red Cross and another million to the
Y. NJ. c. A. Another million went to
the other organizations engaged in
laudable service during the war. Only
recently the Elks learned of the f.
nancial difficulties of the Salvation
Army and they gave it $4,000 at once.
The speaker pleaded for a high spirit
Of patriotism such as had been dis
played in the past when Americans
gave their lives in support OF what
was right He urged on all a spirit
of good will for until the time that is
here. all the efforts to prevent war will
be useless and disarmament projects
will fail. He decried the attitude of
men who could not forego their petty
differences and work in harmony. In
his opinion the man who could not
subjugate his own personal feelings in
matters and who was bound to stir
up strife for his own ends. should not
be allowed to stand in the way and
prevent others from travelling the up
ward path but he should step aside.

BAY STATE MONEY
COMES TO VERMONT
Massachusetts Capitalists Pur-
chase Water Power in LamoiIle
River Near East Georgia
Idle for Many Years but Once
Scene of Much Activity

group OF Massachusetts, capitalists,
headed by c. W. Tylee of Clinton, have
purchased one of the most important un-
developed water powers in Vermont from
F. H. Dewart and John Reynolds of this
city and T. A Hogan of ST Adams. The
water powers are those known as Green
Mountain and Hemlock Island in the
Lamoille river. near East Georgia. Hem
lock Island is below the bridge and the
Green Mountain power is half mile
above IL.
Both powers were in use century ago
but have not been used recently. Hemlock
Island has a head of about % feet and
the Green Mountain about co. The latter
includes a large storage basin three miles
in extent and half mile in width. where
storage is furnished for sufficient water
to develop 5000 horse power, ten hours
per day for 30 days. without having the
store of water replenfshed.
These two are among the oldest water
powers in the State. Hemlock Island
was first used by c. P. Van Ness in
1902, when he operated a saw mill. The
Green Mountain power was first used IN
1904. when John Mitchell started grist
mill A few years later a small settle
ment sprang UP with three mlns al

separately. This was in the Gays pelorc

mill. and another mill which helped in
the process of making cloth. were all
operated there. These were all destroyed
In the floods of 1869 and no mills have
been erected there since.
While some of the capitalists are not

at some time in the future These Two
powers will be harnessed to work
together, and the development viii begin
as soon as tho work Is completed on the
other property OF the St. Adams com"
pany. It is expected that considerable
progress will be made this summer. inc
price paid for the property is not made
public, but it is reported that recent

funds were available IL sufficient local
FUNDS could be raise. The rapid increase
in interest in club work, not only among
the boys and girls, but on the part of
older people as well, seems to assure sue
cess to the plans. Since the purpose of
the club work is to interest boys and
girls in rural life and the development
of rural life is of great importance to
the city. as well as the country, every
body in the county is expected to respond
to this appeal.

these practices for the benefit of others.
