Finished Barre Granite
Reduced Is Per Cent.

At a meeting of the granite
dealers of the so-ca.led Barre dis
tlict Wednesday it was voted al
most unanimously to reduce the
price of the finished product Is per
cent. 1t developed that the Dusi-
ness depression which Barre is ex-
pefiencing is extended to all ,om-
Deting granite centers in me couA-
try and that in some parts of the
South the ice reduction has been
20 per cent and over.
Although no concessions in the
way of rough stock reductions
quarry owners, Or from labor, it
was felt that cut in prices of
finished work would promote much
needed stability, restore confidence
in the retail trade and hasten a
return to normal conditions. Incl
dentally, the manufacturers felt
they would thus be demonstrating
to Quarrying and labor interests
their willingness to take the first
step toward bringing about re-
adjustment in the Barre granite
industry that is necessary if it is
to meet the competition of other
rapidly growing centers.

was held Thursday evening to con-
slider the advisability of inviting
Frank O. Kreager of Springfield,

tins and results of the Junior

believer in the results accom-
plished by these organizations of
boys and girls and will present at

concrete examples of what the Ju-
nior Achievement clubs have doEc
for the young people.

address will particularly interest
the young people the meeting has

the boys and girls of St. JohnsO ~
are specially invited. Parents will
be equally interested in Mr..

cerned the Junior Achievement

MYSTERY N
ARREST
AUTO DRIVER
Bethel Man Comes Under
Suspicion at Newport
and Is Bound Over

At a hearing before United
States Commissioner Walter Il.
Cleary on Thursday evening at
Newport, Olan O. Vaughn was
held under $500 bonds for his ap-
pearance at the next term OF
district court to convene at
Montpelier. Vaughn was arrested
by Sheriff J. H. Kelley at Morris
vile on suspicion OF smuggiln9
from Canada.
In some manner the suspicion
of Sheriff Kelley was aroused at
the sight of the big Marmon car,
which Vaughn was driving; In the
car at the time were another man,
whose identity is unknown and
two boys, supposedly relatives OF
Vaughn. Sheriff Kelley telephon-
ed to the Secretary Of State S Of
flee and made inquiries regarding
the car and the driver in question.
He learned that there was a
car registered under the name CT
Olan O. Vaughn of Bethel but that
the car registered was Paige and
not Marmon. This information
Immediately led to Naughn's being
assessed d fine which he paid.
Ii was also discovered that the
Marmon had come from Canada
and the immigration authorities
were notified. Vaughn was
brought before Commissioner
Cleary, and given hearing. He
told plausible story Of visiting
relatives in Canada and of return
ing to his home at Bethel. He lost
his way and went to Morlisville
to get an auto accessory.
The unknown man escaped with
small bag the contents of
which were not divulged to the Of
ficers. The police suspect that
Vaughn has been engaged in some
form of illicit traffic between Can
ada and the United States. There
was no liuor in the bag as it was
too small. Vaughn stated that at
contained some wearing apparel
