fast High school,
The community was startled last week
on Wednesday by the ringing of the fire
alarm bell. Owing to the extremely dry
GUS conflagration' was the first thought
of many. The members of Chemical No.
and citizens generally responded to the
call as quickly as possible and on arriv-
ing at the fire found the barn of Mr..
Ripley Whitcomb all ablaze. It was
burning so tiercely that nothing could be
done to stay the flames which quickly
spread to the house and burned the en-
tire stand of buildings which consisted
of two-story house, ell, sheds and barn,
all connected. A part of the furniture in
the front rooms was saved, that in the
other rooms, together with a considera-
bile quantity stored in the barn, was to-
tai loss. The buildings and part of the
furniture were insured. The house was
occupied by Mr.. Whitcomb, Mr.. Emery
Sprague, wife and three children, Mr..
Herman Beckwith. wife and four chill
dren and Miss Grace Lord, teacher of the
primary school, who was boarding there.
MIR. Sprague and family lost all their
household goods and their clothing ex-
cept what they had on. This was dis
trcssingly hard for them as Mr.. Sprague
is in poor health and unable to work.
The sympathy of the community has
gone out to them to such an extent that
about 5000 was raised for them IN two
days besides many gifts of clothing.
The house was one of the oldest in the
village being nearly one hundred years
old and had been the abode of many diff
ferent families. 1t was landmark in
the village. Mr.. Herman Beckwith has
bought the house owned by Mrs. Grace
Emmons, and has moved his family
there.

At the last monthly meeting of the Red
Cross the question of buying a Ford coupe
for our public health nurse, Miss Ncker-
son, was brought up for discussion and
met with very general approval. Some
method of conveyance is absolutely nee
essary for the highest efficiency, as much
time and strength that might be more
advantageously used are spent in over
long walks, and the carrying of necessary
equipment. Miss Nickerson often has
more calls in day than she can possibly
answer under the present arrangement.

do it.'
Referring to his battle in Cuba with
Jess Willard when he lost The cham
pionship Johnson said:
"At that time I had to do what I
did. When l am dead and in the grave

feet, which are hot yet from that
fight"

Oxford Cambridge Team
Appears To Have Slight
Edge on Yale-Harvard

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July 9--The
coming international track meet be-
tween Harvard and Yale on the one
side and Cambridge and Oxford on the
other, gives promise of being extremely
close, and if an American victory is the
result it will probably be by the slim
NEST margin. The Rritons are bring
ing team of runners that can eat up
distance from the 440 UP, and a strong
contender in the hammer throw. The
Americans look best in the sprints and
remaining field events, and it looks
like toss-up in the high hurdles, the
outcome of which may decide the meet.
This is the second visit of Oxford
and Cambridge to this country for a
combined meet with Harvard and Yale.
The teams have met four times in all.
Each side has two victories, the Brit
ish in 1899 and again in 1911, on their
own soil, and their opponents in 1901
at Berkeley Oval, New York, and in
1904 in England. The victorious Brit
ish scores have been razor edged, to
q, while the wider margin of to 8
has been accumulated when the Ameri-
cans triumphed.
The British custom of counting first
places only on the final tally sheet has
governed all the meets Each winner
brought his team one point. This year as
ten events will be programmed instead
OF the nine in previous engagements,
the Americans have sought to have q
tally kept on second places in case there

when an even number of events are
contested and the teams closely
matched
The outstanding performers with ,ne
Oxford Cambridge team are Captain
Rudd, or Oxford, quarter and half
miller; Mountain, the British half-mile
champion. and Stallard, who has COW
eyed the mile in minutes and Is Sec
ends.
Rudd in the Quarter
Rudd, however, is not in the form
he showed when he won the 1920 Olym-
pic 400 meters run. While he is almost
certain to start the quarter mile, the
chances are that unless he is in good
shape Kent-Hughes will be used in
the $50. Butler, the other British
quarter miller, has been a constant
rival to Rudd. as he is a Cambridge
athlete. Last year they ran dead
heat in the 440 in the meet between
these two English Institutions, but But
ler's 40 As seconds this year was
enough to send Rudd to second place.
The American quarter milers that
will oppose this brilliant pair are Coke

tional performer. Coke was out of
