PRETTY ENTERTAINMENT
Was Presented By Music Pupils of Sa
cred Heart Convent.

A most interesting and pretty enter
tainment presented by the pupils OF
the Sacred Heart convent in the X. of
C. hall last evening was one of the
greatest successes artistically and f.
nancially the music school has ever
known.
Every one of the junior and senior
department of music crowned herself
and her teacher with high honors. All
were costumed to represent the part
taken in Mother Goose musical, and to
compliment any one would be rather
lengthy as each number was rendered
in the most creditable manner.
In scene l, Bo-Peep and her sheep
skipped around the meadow until the
little lambs complained to her of being
tired and wanted to rest, whereupon
Bo-Peep told them that she had some
wonderful rests for them and intro
duced the different rest signs used in
music.
Scene , opened with little flower
game in Mistress Mary's garden. The
children who represented the flowers
costumed in crepe paper dresses, repre-
senting the different flowers. The lit
tie spinsters at the Spinning Wheel
song and the two who rendered the
"Miuuetn were decked in colonial style.
Scene 3 showed the home of Mother
Goose and the jolly clock, which was
worn as a crown, ticking in perfect

ter of Mr.. and Mrs. John MscAuley of

of her uncle. Daniel MacAuley, in low
er Websterville about 4 o'clock this

HOW TO BRING DOWN PRICES.
The People Must Cooperate with the
Government.

The governments campaign against
high prices can avail nothing without
the cooperation of all the men and
women of this country. IL is impossi-
Bile for the department of justice to
remedy an economic condition armed
with a criminal statute-the Lever act.
True, the heart of the matter-that is
the prosecution of illegal practices
which result in unreasonable high
prices for the consumer-can be reached
with the long arm of the law. But the
adjustment of the matter of prices is
ultimately dependent upon the action
of the people, which if it is to be effec-
tive, must become concerted action.
In other words, until people realize
that the lavish expenditures of mon
ey on luxuries and pleasures must be
cllrtailed and that disaster faces the
nation as a result of individual wanton-
ness along this line, America cannot ex
pect any reduction in the cost of liv-
ing.
There is much that each individual
can do to help if he will but realize his
responsibility. In the first place, care
in the matter of money is the urgent
duty of each of us. We should study
our income, itemize our requirements
and apportion our dollars according to
the Importance of our needs. By study
ing an accepted budget system-and
there are any number of these avail
able in libraries and banks-we learn
to spend our income intelligently.
Not being able to tell where ones
money has gone is grave fault. If
the economic status of this country is
to be restored to its former position of
security this matter of personal re-
sponsibility in the expenditure and the
saving of money cannot be too strong
" stressed.
1t is a sign of a good manager to
live within ones income. II would be a
worthy ambition if this nation would
aim to become country Of good man
ayers.
BY individual thrift we automati-
cally obtain national thrift: this in
turn brings commercial stability as
the encouragement of industrial, agri-
cultural and professional enterprises

MUDGETT INDICTED
ON MURDER CHARGE
Trial for Alleged Staying of Amy
Shonio Will Start at Hyde Park
Next Monday.

Hyde Park, Dec l0.--An Indictment
charging murder in the first degree was
found yesterday by the grand jury IN
Lamoille county court against Arthur
Mudgett, SO years of age, iumberman,
who is accused of killing Amy Shonio,

torney Tracy. Mudgett has retained
as counsel w. A. Dutton of Hardwick,
Porter of st. Iohnsbury and F. G.
Fleetwood OF Morrisville. Thirty two

The Killing of the young girl, who
would soon have become mother, was
a revolving crime, the details of which,
to be told in the trial, probably cannot
be published.
She left the boarding place Saturday
evening, July 81. The next Tuesday
afternoon her body was found on the
lonely hilltop of the cemetery when
some girls were taking short cut
through She had been choked and
beaten as though by iend. One eye

Marion. O., Dec. l0.-President elect
Harding had an appointment to-day
with Charles Evans Hughes to talk over
politics and proposals of the coming
administration.
Although it was understood that the
plan for an association Of nations had
prominent place in the conference, the
visit of Mr.. Hughes was generally re-
garded as having to do also with vari-
Gus other problems before the presi-
dent-elect. Many times recently his
name has been suggested for a cabinet
position and the fact that he was the
first 10 be invited to the consultations
here was taken to mean that Mr., Hard
ing might desire his advice in the fran
ing of more than one feature of his
administration program.
Herbert Hoover is expected here to-
morrow.
By making Mr.. Hughes the first to be
consulted here about the association Of
nations plans, Mr.. Harding has begun

INCREASED POWER
RATES ON JAN. 1922
Montpelier & Barre Light g. Pn~
Co.'s Charges Dependent VtStase
of Fuel in Generating
Capacity.

Announcement of an increase in
power rates by the Montpelier & Barre
Light & Power Co. is furnished by
Manager c. j. Cookson, said increase
being based upon the time If operat-
ing steam generating stations as auxil-
iaries to the hydro-electric plants,
Manager Cookson's statement is as
follows:
We beg to advise you that we have
filed with the public service commits
sion the following amendment to our
rates for power service. This amend
ment will become effective on Jan. ],
1921, and viii apply to all bills for
power service rendered on and after
January 81, 1921.
Fuel Charge-Whenever during any
month or part thereof, in which power
service is furnished by the company
under this schedule, it shall be neces-
sary for the company to operate its
steam generating stations to supply
said power service, in whole or in
part, then, in addition to the prices
named in this schedule, there will be
made and become payable a charge per
kilowatt hour obtained by dividing the
cost of fuel at said generating stations
by the kilowatt hours sold for power
purposes
All additional charges to the con-
summer, due to the terms of the pre-
ceding clause shallsbe made at the
time the regular monthly bill is rem
dered and be included as part of the
monthly bill. Such charges shall be
based on the cost of fuel" and the
kilowatt hours sold for power pur-
poses during the calendar month i'm
mediately preceding the date of the
bill.
Increased expenses of operation
make it necessary for the company to
secure added revenues. After a years
operation on the present schedule of
rates, we find that our revenues, even
with the increased rate in the light
ing schedules which became effective
Oct. |, of the present year, are insult
ficent to enable us to meet the in
creased cost of operation, and TO earn
fair return" as defined by the pub
lie service commission in their order
dated May 81, 1929. The amount by
which we fall short of this ''fair re
turn" comedies very closely with the
cost of fuel. II has, therefore, seemed
to us that the fairest method, both
TO the consumer and to the company,
would be to increase the rates by an
added charge based on the cost of
fuel used, rather than fiat increase
per kilowatt hour. By this method
the price viii vary from month to
month, but the customers win receive
the benefit of decreasing prices of fuel,
and the present indications are that
the peak of fuel prices has been
reached and prices are bound to be
lower in the near future.
The company hopes that the time is
not far distant when prices for con-
struction materials and the condition
of the money market will be such as
to enable it TO resume its plans for
securing a further supply of hydro
electric power.
