HoNoRED BURNS IN SONG.
Barre Entertainers Gave Fine Concert
in Memory of Poet.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the
| birth 81 the revered Robert Burns,
Scottish poet No better honor could
have been done a writer who so thor
oughly understood human character
than to sing his works. A program of
exceptional merit and one which was
composed almost totally of songs, the
words of which were written by
Burns, was given in the Presbyterian
church last evening, under the auspices
of the Mems club.
The auditorium of the church was
filled to capacity and Judging from
the close attention accorded every num-
ber and the continued applause which
greeted every participant the entertain
ment must have been enjoyed in the
fullest measure. There were solos, duets
and choruses. as well as readings in
the Scotch dialect So pleasing was
the work of those taking part that the
large crowd insisted on second numbers
and these, too, proved enjoyable.
The program opened with a selection
by the chorus, "Scots Wha Hae,' with
"Ye Banks and Braes," for an encore.
This was followed with solo by Mrs.
Rose Penny, MY Nannie's Ava" who
also sang with feeling MY Ain Wee,
Hoose." 20 A the Airts the Win CAM
Blaw," one of the best of Burns works
was warmly received and Harry Clark,
who sang it, favored with "The Lass
O. Ballochmyle." Even If il can't al
ways be understood, a Scotch reading
is provocative of much smilng--yes
and hearty laughter, too, and Mrs. Will
liam Black was at her usual reading
SANDERS McGlashan's Coortship." Miss
Alice Walker chose MARY Morrison"
for her contribution and she was called
on to respond with Comm Thru the
Rye
Because Of illness which prevented
his presence, that part Of the program
assigned 20 Douglas Inglis was given to
John c. Wylie. Mr.. Wylie was well-re-
ceived in both his renditions, "The Lea
RigY and Mary" George Mackay, in
a stirring manner, sang, "The Battle
Of Stirling A duet, The Crookit Baw-
bee" by Harry Clark and Alice Walk
er was one of the most enjoyable
parts Of the entertainment. The hearth
est greeting Of the evening was given
to Miss Glee Wood, who so expressive
ly charmed her audience with the
singing of 'Ae Fond Kiss" and my
Laddid' games Bennett. always a |
treat on any program, was heard TO |
advantage in Flow Gently, Sweet I

the chorus, entitled, Caller Herrin"
and MY Luve Is Like a Red, Red ,
Rose" Miss Gladys n. Gale and Mrs |
}. V. Laing acted acceptably as accom-
Danists.

WHERE MOOSE ABOUND.
Game Plentiful in the Canadian Rockies
North of Mount Robson.

Moose and cariboui There's plenty of
them to hunt $50 miles north of Mount
Robson. B. c., in the Canadian Rockies.
But unlike their eastern kin they're up
above the timberline. An eastern big
game hunter would expect to find them
in the barrens and flats, but the mon
archs of the forest are more crafty in
the west
The moose browse on the willows in
the flats as they do on alders in the
east. but they play" and sleep and
watch from the unobstructed vantage
points above the tree line in the west
ern ranges.
On my recent big game hunt in the
Canadian Rockies. which covered 40
davs. our party bagged two splendid
bull moose, both with heads Of over so
inch spreads, and four big bull carl
bou.
We saw 20 moose, at least half of
them big bulls. and 3s caribou. of which
six or eight were bulls.
Mule deer. also. were fairly plentiful
in this district. They had drifted down
to the lower valleys on account of the
heavy SHOWS and unusual cold weather.
The caribou keep in the alp lands
above the trees or in the scrubs near
the timber line. They like the high bas-
ins. especially those that offer wet and
soggy underfooting.
This member of the deer family has
a wonderful sense OF smell. However,
its eyes far surpass those of the moose.
II seems always to be in hurry when
going from place to place
I'd like to see race between a big
bull caribou and one Of our best grand
circuit trotters. Believe ia have to bet
on the caribou
The moose, too. is trotter, but the !
rarbou gets away faster and covers |
more ground in its stride.
The mule deer Of the Rockies--or the /
black tail deer, as il is called-is larg-
y than the eastern specie. II has big |

ST. ALBANS STATION
BADLY DAMAGED
While Firemen Were Fighting That
Fire Another Fire Broke Out in
Another Place, Necessi-
tating the Divid-
ing of the
Forces.

st. Albans, Jan. 26.-Fire which
broke out in the basement underneath
the chief engineers office at the Cen
trail Vermont railway shortly after noon
yesterday gutted the partitions and
walls while the remainder of the build
ing occupied by the general offices was
badly damaged by smoke and water.
The blaze proved a most stubborn one
and for nearly two hours the firemen
battled to check. the flames progress
through the partitions of the big struc-
ture The damage is estimated at be-
ween $4,000 and $4,000, totally COW
cred by insurance.
Within an hour after the alarm had
been rung in and while the fire was at
its height call was sounded for fire
on Mason street. Dividing the fire fight
ers Chief +. J. Guerin sent one truck
and several men to fight this blaze in
the two-story and a half house oceu-
pied by William McGrath.
By the time the truck had been
rushed back to the scene of the first
fire for needed equipment and rushed
back the fire, famed by stiff north
wind, had gained so much headway that
it was impossible to save the he/struc-
ture, which was total loss. The barn
was undamaged. The residence is part
of the Mary McGarth estate and the
building is insured, it is said. Neigh
bors and spectators assisted in taking
the furniture from the house, and con-
siderable was saved, but clothing, etc,
which was upstairs, was burned.
AT the railroad Offices, clerks aided
in removing numbers of the fixtures
The origin of the blaze is unknown,
but according to Chief Guern. the fire
which burned out the building 10 years
ago, started in approximately the same
place. This is the third time in dee
lde, that the Offices have burned out or
1een damaged by fire.

GERMANY MUST DLSBAND

BEFORE JULY I, 1921
FARM LABOR WAGES
HIGHEST IN HISTORY
Average Wage During 1920 Was $46.so
With Board and $64.o5
Without.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 26.--Wage
rates for farm labor reached their high
est point in the history of this country
in 1920 as national averages, accord
ing to figures gathered by the depart
ment of agriculture and made public
to-day. The average rate for labor
hired by the month was $46.s9 with
board and $6495 without board; for
day labor at harvest $500 with board
and 1896 without board; for day labor
other than at harvest $3.50 with board
and 1888 without board.
War conditions, it was found, great
ly accelerated an upward movement of
farm wage rates that began after 1895
The rate of that year by the month
without board was $l7.69. No other
year in the record of the bureau ex-
tending back to 1866 had lower rate
except 1870 with $l6.42. BY 1915 the
rate had increased to S30l5 with no ev-
idence of war effect. This effect APP
peared in 1916, when the rate was
$32s3.
The rate of gain over 1898 was 267
per cent in 1920 The gain from 1898
To 1915 was 20 per cent and the gain
from 1916 to 1920 was 1877 per cent.
From 1915 to 1920 farm labor work
ing by the month without board re-
ceived gain in wage rate as high as
ll5 per cent. This was given by the de-
partment as one of the causes of the
greatly increased cost of producing
things on the farm, which has forced
the farmers more generally TO depend
on themselves and mem
bers of their families for labor in ad-
dition to extending the use of labor
saving machinery

Vault Containing Over $780,
900 Locked, Through
Treasurer's Foresight

Marion, O., Jan. 26.-Two bandits
early to-day entered the office of the
county treasurer in the county court
house here, knocked Treasurer Harry
f. Forty unconscious with the butt
end of a revolver and escaped in an au-
tomobile with over $4,000 in cash.
The treasurer's vault contained be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 in tax mon
ey, which the robbers did not get be-
cause of Forry's foresight in locking
the safe after taking out money to be
used as change in the days business,
Forry told police that not word
was exchanged during the robbery. One
bandit stood guard at the door, while
the other pointed revolver at the
treasurer, hitting him over the head
when he got close enough. No other
county employees were in the building
at the time of the robbery.
A count showed that the bandits OBJ

AND SECURITY
POLICE TO GO
Supreme Council Has Yet
to Act on the Report of
the Experts, But Is Ex-
pected to Give Its APP
proval ReparatiOns
Matter Under C0nsidera-
ton.

Paris Jan 26.-Allied military ex.
perts to-day handed the supreme coun-
ell their report on plan for the dis
bandment of German military units
The reports give satisfaction to the
French viewpoint on the question OF
providing for full compliance with all
disarmament clauses of the Versailles
treaty.
II comedies to Great Britain fur
ther delay which was asked for on Mon
day before the supreme court by Pre-
mier Lloyd George. Two-thirds of the
operation of disarmament must be COM
peted by March !, and the work must
be finished by July l.
This decision means that the Elm.
wohnenwehr, or civic guards, and the
security police must be disbanded as
must all ether similar organizations
not allowed by the treaty of Versailles.
The council has still to act upon the
report but it was the general opinion
that it would approve the conclusions
of the experts.

portant by the people of France, was
begun by the supreme council to day
Private conversations regarding this
question have been going on between
Premers Lloyd George and BRAND but
there was no indication that anything

A proposal that the matter be turned
over to the league of nations was re-
jected by the council, and another

of billion dollars to Austria during
the next ten years was similarly re-
iected. The situation at Vienna was
