The article of vegetation now being

fair sample of things grown in the
town of Washington. 1t is puffball
which c. Fl. Davis picked up in his
orchard last fall and which, in the
meantime, has shrunk considerably
| from its normal size: The puffball il
fully as large as football and much
lighter of course. The ordinary size
of the puffball is not much larger than
mans fist.
A telegram from William Barclay
of the Barclay Bros firm, who, with
his wife, is in Oklahoma City and at
present attending the annual conyen,
| ton of the Oklahoma State Retail
Monument Dealers association as a
representative of the Barre Granite
Manufacturers association, informs
the association that he expects to
reach Barre Saturday. He also wired
"74 in the shade" an unusual stmos'
pheric condition for Oklahoma at this
time of the year. Billiards are not
| infrequent in that state during the
winter, but the winter of l9202l thus
far has proven an extraordinary ex-
ception. Much of the West, which usu-
ally experiences much disagreeable
cold weather during the winter months,
has had little or none this year, Barre
men declare who have recently re.
turned from extensive JOURNEYS
through greater part Of the middle
West.
Chief of Police James Sullivan has
evidently impressed lawbreskers with
his persistence for a second man whom
the chief has searched for walked into
the station late yesterday afternoon to
surrender This was Frank Calevro,
10, of 10 Cambria street, who was
wanted for breach of peace against
Luigi Romeri, proprietor of the fruit
and lunch room at 32l North Main
street and popularity known as Sol
lum." Chief Sullivan visited the Pres.
brey-Leland stoneshed, where CaleYro
is employed, yesterday afternoon, but
Caleyro saw the brass buttons coming
-. h.,, and aapataI thrpYrrh a
side door, thinking himself unseen. He
disappeared from the shed for the re-
mainder of the afternoon. Chief Sui
livan returned to the police station
but in the meanwhile had set a net
preventing his escape from Barre. Gale.
vro concluded wisely when he decided
to surrender. Romeri and Calevro had
heated argument at Romeri's store
Sunday night, which eventually caused
Calevro to land a solid blow on Ro
meri's jaw. Calevro pleaded guilty 70
the charge yesterday afternoon before
Judge f. L. Scott and paid a fine of
$40, with costs of s6O5.
In the first of three days practice
yesterday before making their annual
invasion Of Massachusetts,, the God
dard seminary varsity basketball team
met and defeated the seniors OF the
same school BY the score Of SO TO 49,
Coach Leahey is putting his team
through a hard practice in anticipa
tion of meeting some Of the best pre-
paratory schools in New England, and
will have them out this afternoon and
tomorrow. On Friday morning they
leave for Ashburnham Mass, where
Cushing academy will be met on Fri
day night. Cushing has shown signs
Of having a real team this season and
it is quite likely that il will give a
strong opposition TO the seminary. On
Saturday night Dean academy will be
met; on Monday, Commerce high Of
Springfield, and on Tuesday, Chicopee
high school. On the Friday night fol-
lowing their return TO the clay. the
seminary will run up against Fitch
burg normal from Fitchburg, Mass. a
team that has not been beaten in the
past three years, and which has al
ready defeated Cushing academy this
wear. The game will be played at the
Goddard gym Friday; Feb. 25. As
past records have shown, il takes
good team 10 defeat Goddard on their
own floor and this one viii be no ex-
csption. So far Goddard has not been
able TO arrange a game with Mont
pelier seminary. and at present the out
look for a meeting of those one-time
rivals seems very poor.
