YOUNG MEN
NARROWLY ESCAPE
DROWNING
Serious Accident Averted by
Prompt Action Of
Traffic Cop

Carl Riley, Benny" Blest, Frank
H. Balling, Shorty" Tweed,
"Slim" Ware and John Clancy
had narrow escape from drown
inf on Monday evening.
They had agreed to celebrate
Ballings' return from his quarter
ly vacation. (Other vacations oc-
cur at intervals during the year
when he exercises his regular pro-
fession of best man at weddings
and sponsor at christenings.)
A joy ride to Cherry Hill carni-
val was considered the widest
dissipation possible, and the party
set out in Riley's ancient "boat."
All went as we'll as the infirmities
of the tub would permit until a
severe thunderstorm broke and an
attempt was made to "speed 'er
up" The inhabitants of some
wide-a wake town down the line
heard the wheeze, bang, rattle, of
the thing and judging it to be a
threshing outfit forbidden by law
to cross bridges in those parts,
the majesty of the law stepped
forth, and brought the joyride to
a sickening halt.
An untimely laugh from one of
the party angered the majesty of
the law, who decided to run them
in on general principles. The
technical charge of speeding was
placed against them. Standing in
pools of water from their dripping
garments, they manfully attempt
ed to convince the magistrate that
the old boat couldn't make six
miles on a bet. The combined
eloquence of the unfortunate vic.
times failed to move the adaman.

WILLIAM E. MORGAN
(Watching for the birdie)
There is a man in our town
Named "Susquehanna Bill"
This man has never yet grown up,
And doubtless never will.
A faithful son of Uncle Sam,
He foots it through the streets
Dispensing mail, and catalogues,
And smiles, to all he meets.
And if the catalogue gets lost,
Or letter goes astray,
He'll fetch you something from
unclaimed"
To chase the gloom away.
On Sunday when his work is done,
A pleasuring he goes,
Sometimes here and sometimes
there
Where the Susquehanna flows.
His Uncle Sam some time ago,
. Gave him a needed rest.
He sought it at Niagara Falls,
And quite enjoyed the quest.
The water is so restless there
He missed the placid flow
And the fee they charge in Mary
land
To see the river go.

CRAFTSMEN GIVE
SURPRISE PARTY FOR
BRIDE-TO-BE

The Craftsmen at Kells tender
ed a surprise party and kitchen
shower on Friday to Miss Edna
Chalmers, one of their number
whose marriage to James Harvey
Dickey Of Stanton, took place on
Saturday.
In the center of a gaily decorat-
ed able reposed the brides cake.
Around it were heaped the gifts
which in the opinion of the in
dividual Craftsmen would add
most to the happiness Of the bride
to be in her new home. On each
gift was a card containing a sup
posedly humorous verse written
by the long-haired bard of Kells
whose Tyre is tuned 70 melody
only on such romantic occasions
as this. These verses the bride
was obliged to read aloud before
she was allowed to cut the cake.
The latter act she consummated
with deftness that augurs we'll for
her future success as a home
maker.
Speeches were made by those
qualified to speak. Father Lovett,
the only navigator among the
Craftsmen present who had sailed
the matrimonial sea, told of his
courtship and his happy married
life. H.. H. Cleaves, an aspirant
for matrimonial office, told Of the
results of his study of the inter
esting subject. Bill" Clancy, who
is too young to know anything
about it, insisted on telling all he
knew, and D. P. Finkbone took it
all in for future reference.
The female portion of the staff,
contrary to the usual custom and
in perverse contradiction of all
tradition, said nothing but sat and
listened and wished most wistfully.
Cake and ice cream were served.
The largest dish and ditto piece of
cake, were awarded to Cleaves,
who will doubtless be next on the
list, although there are others,
some of whom were on vacation
at the time, who may come under
the wire first.
The occasion itself and the spirit
which prevailed bore abundant
testimony to the popularity of Miss
Chalmers and was just the Kells
way of showing appreciation for
the faithful, conscientious service
rendered by their departing fellow
craftsman.

shifted his quid to the off side,
spat straight into a cuspidor IL
feet away and drawled:
well that may be, boys, but if
you hain't been speedin' you must
a-been doing somethin' or you
wouldn't be here; so I'll just fine
you-all for loiterin' and blockin'
traffic on the highway"
Balling with his usual ready
repartee, started to reply but
thought better of it and glancing
up at the clock whose hands
pointed to an unseemly hour, he
said, "You tell him, clock, l haven't
the face"

editor of the Bennington Banner, ha.
given the following estimate of the
vote for governor in the September
primaries Rabbit, 1868, Emery, s.
800, Agan, 1916, Hartness Sail. Mr..
Howe figures even closer than this
and gives the vote he expects each of
the four republican candidates will
get in every county in the state. We
ore surprised that Mr.. Howe did not
go still farther and give us the vote
in every community from Somerset
with its one vote to Burlington's 5000
voters. Certainly Mr.. Babbitt must
be Supremacy satisfied with the result
and it would seem as if it was all
over but the shouting.
In Caledonia county Mr.. Howe
gives Emery ITO, Rabbit $50, Agan
80 and HARNESS 1870. In Essex coun-
ty the forecaster gives Emery 375
votes, Rabbit rs, Agan Is and Hart
ness %. The figures for Orleans
county are Emery 2,40O, Rabbit 300,
Agan $50, Hartness $50.
We do not pretend to know much
about the outcome of the September
primary, but we doubt very much if
there will be 4,425 votes cast in the
primary for these candidates. Ger
tanly if they get as many it will be
by the help of the Democrats and
one would naturally expect that the
democrats would support their own
ticket both at the primaries and at
the election. Gov. Clement, in 1918,
only received 28,358 votes and SIX
years Gov. Gates had 36,972 votes.
We still believe that the friends of
the Bellows Falls candidate are under
estimating the strength of both Col.
Emery and Mr.. Agan and if the vote
was taken today we believe Col. En-
cry would lead with Agan a close
second, Rabbit third and Hardness a
bad fourth.
The normal republican vote in
Caledonia county is around 5000 and
there are as yet only two contests, the
g overnor and state senate. These
contests will bring out a good vote
and estimating the vote at the prim-
airy at 1000 we will venture the pre-
dicton that Col. Emery gets $40, Mr..
Hartness 275, Mr.. Agan 260 and Mr..
Rabbit 1855.
Col. Emery's chances for success
look good to us and when the votes
are all counted up we believe the con-
will be sent from Bel
lows Falls to Newport. Col. Emery
is not pussy-footing" and he is con-
Quoting campaign above board that
will bring results at the polls.
