The Laconia boys come to st.

game against the locals at Wells

was not a question of the lack of

during the short interval since the
Bellows Falls contest. The fans
may expect to see stiff local de-
fense in action this evening.
The padding for he walls at
both ends of the basketball court

LEGION HELPS
C0.LT0 WALLOP
BELLOWS FALLS
Visitors Get Severe Jolt
From 52-19 Defeat at
Hands of Newport

Company L followed st. Johns
buIy's lead and gave the Bellows
Falls five another jolt to the tune
of 52-19. The local quintet las
been materially strengthened by
combining with American Legion
players. Steve Keith, one of the
new comers, played a cool game
holding his man scoreless and reg
istering three himself. "Shy" Ken
nison also played a good game for
the short time that he has had In
basketball togs.
Bellows Falls failed to exhibit
much knowledge of the indoor
game. Their shooting was poor and
they failed dismally in trying to
get past their opponents defense.
This was due probably to the poor
shape the players were in, for 1T
was very evident that they were
windcd during most of the game;
Company l. put up a very good
game considering the short time
the boys had to reorganize. The
showed occasional flashes of real
team playing and had their eye on
the hoop as the score shows.
"Steve" Keith opened the scor-
ing by caging one on short pass
from the outside zone. Maloney
followed with his customary clean
shot from the center of the floor
Bellows Falls broke in with one
by Hayes. Soon Bigelow broke
loose for a succession OF short
shots which gave the local boys
a safe lead.
Bellows Falls called time out
twice and they certainly needed the
rest. The first half ended with co.
i leading 1876.
The opening of the second chap
ter found Manning playing center
for the visitors and M. Fontalne
shifted to right guard in place OF
Barry. Bigelow dropped on(
through for starter. The local
quintet garnered thirty-four points
in this half against ten for the Vls,
itors. In fact it was too one sided
to be interesting. Bellows Falls
practically gave up and watchea

the arms conference negotiations

more today to the Far Eastern dis
cussion. No session was schedul-

The proposals submitted as a
means of balancing the naval ratio
to compensate for the retention of
Mutsu by Japan, would permit
Great Britain to build two super

in the mill was made by "Unclc
Abner" with forge fire Of Hem
lock bark. Much of the machinery
was made of wood, where iron
would now be used.
In the earlier days the mill was
equipped with the crude old Cup

mill with kiln drying apparatus,
barley huller, wheat mill with
Granite Stones, quarried from
some nearby boulder, and the then
costly silk boiling cloth. Granite
Stone feed grinders, and Barley
and Buckwheat grinders with d
special bolt were a part of the
outfit. All OF which latst on were
equipped with French burr grind

a primitive shinglc mill was add

Sometime about 1885 or 1910
Oliver Morse became associated
with "Unclc" Abner Morrill,. Some
years after "Uncle Oliver" became
sole owner and still later his sons,
Marshall and Alden came into the
firm. The sons later bought their

Sawmill was installed. For many
years prior to this the business re-

The drying kilns had to be tend

"With such conditions prevail

"That is a good suggestion and l
