FORMER MAYOR IS
REELECTED IN BOSTON

BOSTON, Dec. Thames M.
Curley was elected Mayor of Bos-
ton by plurality of 2698 votes
over John r. Murphy, the Good
Government candidate. Charles S.
O'Connor was third and Charles
S. Baxter was last. The result of
the election was in doubt until the
last princinct was heard from.
Changes made last year in the pre-
cinct lines made it impossible to
compare the precinct votes with
those of earlier elections.
The Murphy supporters were
tremendously disappointed, as
they had counted on electing their
candidate with plurality of 20,-
600 to 10000 votes. The earliest
returns showed the final margin
between the two candidates would
be small, but the Murphy support
ers did not lose hope until the very
last precinct had been heard from.

AN EXAMPLE OF
HOW NEWSPAPER
ADVERTISING PAYS

No more convincing illustra-
ton of the efficiency of news
paper advertising has been
presented than the experience
of the Literary Digest. Five
years ago when the magazine
had 100000 circulation the di-
rectors decided that a larger
circulation was desirable and
that the only way to get it was
through advertising. For four
years $1,000,000 was invested
annually in 400 leading news
papers in the U. S. with
the result that today the mag
azine has a circulation of /,
100000, and its income has
been increased more than $50
per cent.
Would it have been possible
for the Literary Digest to Sc
cure such returns from any
other medium? We believe not.
Newspaper advertising pre-
sents its message when people
are in a receptive mood. APP
pearing as it does in medium
that is welcomed and read in
practically every household it
Is bound to attract the atten-
ton of masses of people, and if
the article advertised possesses
real merit, large sales are sure
to follow. From Editor and

FIRST CASE
FOR JURY in
COUNTY COURT
Suit Is Between Hardwick
Parties and Is Over a
Lumber Contract

The first jury trial at the De-
cember term of Caledonia county
court was begun Tuesday after
noon. 1t was a suit over a lumber
contract between K. J. Shurtleff
and A. A. Goodrich of Hardwick
against l.. C. Udall. Porter, Wit
ters and Longmoore are the plain
tiffs' attorneys and Dutton and
Shepard of Hardwick and F. G.
Fleetwood of Morrisville are at
torneys for the defendant.
The jury as first drawn was
cmpanellcd without challenge,
both sides being content. The
jurymen are: F. Avery Bigelow,
c. r. Blodgett, f. P. Brown, f.
II. Coe, H. N. Curtis, Albert E..
Currier, James Hatch, O. w. Jes-
seman, Richard Johnson, Robert
Kendall Adds p. Ladd, J. E.
Warren.
The plaintiffs claim that they
made a contract Oct. 2, 1920 with
J.. C. Udall of Wolcott for all their
pulpwood, sometime like rs to
100 cords of pealed wood at $24
and 80 to 200 cords of rough pulp
at $40, Enough had been deliy
cred to come to S369S.55 on which
payment of $t885.10 is acknowl-
edged, leaving balance of
S1S13.45 for which this suit is
brought. The defendant claims
that the balance claimed repre-
scnts the individual stock Of Shurt-
left and not the partnership.
The armament conference seems
to have affected Caledonia legal
contestants. for there is a marked
disposition to scrap local fights,
either continuing or settling them.
Never in several terms of court
have there been less business
brought up for disposition by the
court, even the divorce docket is
4 short one.
Two divorce cases were heard
Tuesday morning. One was that of
Eta G. Parker AGAINST Ralph T.
Parker. G.. w. Hill was attorney
for the petitioner and a bill was
asked for on the ground of descr-
tion and refusal to support. Mr..
and Mrs. Parker were married in

BELLOWS FALLS
Bellows Falls Militia Team

Snappy Game

In the fastest and most cleanly
fought basketball game played at
the Armorv thus far this season.
the Legion Company D quintet
defeated Company E of Below

close score of 40 to "a. An en-
thusiastic crowd of 600 fans turn
ed out for the game and declared
it to be the best played tins
season. Notwithstanding the
spirit displayed by both teams,
the contest was remarkable free
from fouls. There were but three
fouls, Dumas, Connor and Lind
strom being called by Refeee Will
liam Boisvert for minor infrac-
tons.
The militia basketball quintet

sent to center. Catching the de-
fense of the locals unaware time
after time this pair slipped down
the floor for goals until the score
stood "a TO 20 at one time, Slight

Bellows Falls unsheathed a pc
culiar attack. The basketcerS
from down state seemed particu-
larlv addicted to the long distance
shot into the meshes. A Bellows
Falls guard, retrieving the ball,
would not pass to one of his for
wards in the early part OF the
contest, but would attempt a long
try for the goal. These long shots
were successful in several in
stances. The visitors also seemed
to have an unusual faculty of pull
ing the local basketball team all
to one side of the court, thus
giving one of their speedy players
the necessary open field through
which to dash for a goal.
Manning and Barry, fast man
for his size, reversed the Legion
Company d field again and again
in the second period, with the re-
suit that the score was nearly tied.

While the state military authorit-

militia the militant women of the
Kansas mining fields, adherents of
Alexander Howat, were engaged
in the most ambitious campaign
they had so far attempted to stop
operations at coal mines by men
who responded to the call of the
international union.
Sheriff Gould was besieged by
miners who wanted to work and
who sought protection from the
boards of women relatives and of
striking coal miners who for two
days have overwhelmed workers
and police officers about mine
shafts. The women were active
again this morning. More than
1000 of them marched up to a
mine of the Central Coal and Coke
Co. Except that they beat one
man there was little excitement,
however.
