"Anthemis" is Being Rebuilt
with New Ribs, Planks and
Will Burn Coal

Work is we'll advanced on the re.
building and reoutfitting of the
steamer Anthems" here. The Men,
phremagog Navigation Co., has sold
the streamer to Captain Thomas ].
Jackman, of Montreal and he will in
future operate her on the lake. 1t
Will interest Newport people to know
that public service from the southern
end of the lake will be especially we'll
looked after. Besides making at least
four days week regular Newport
runs it is intended to run trips down
the lake from Newport twice a week,
probably on Wednesdays and Satur-
days, for the particular accommoda-
ton of Newport people, at excursion
rates. If business warrants the out
lay, Captain Jackman and his asso-
ciates will, for the season of 1922
put on a new steamer to run in con-
nection with the "Anthemis."
Work on the "Anthemis" is proceed
ing under the direction of Mr.. Dean
Johnston of Seattle, Wash, who dur
ing the war built thirty-five wooden
ships on the Pacafic coast. The can
themis" is being newly ribbed with
oak and replanked with two inch pine.
Her boiler has been overhauled and
will burn coal in future instead of
wood. Other thorough alterations
and repairs being made, at con-
siderable cost and she will start reg
ular trips very early in the season,
this year, in splendid condition to
accommodate her patrons.
Captain Jacllman has navigated the
Yukon river for fourteen years and
previous to coming east he operated a
steamer on the difficult waters of the
Skeena river. Needless to say he is
a steamer man of experience and
ability and he should prove as popular
skipper on Lake Memphremagog
as the Late Captain Bullock was in
the "palmy" days of the Lake of the
Lake"

tant General johnson an extra ap-
preparation of $4,000 was granted

ira appropriation was received in
Newport Monday and was received
with great joy among the officers Of
Company L. also Ex-Mayor Gardner

HISTORY OF COMPANY l.

Captain Reginald Buzzell gave the
following history in detail of Company
l.:
1t is with deep feeling of pride
and gratitude that / accept the keys
of this magnificent building; pride in
the organization for which it has been
built and for which / have the honor
to speak; gratitude to the people of
this city, who have so generously pro-
vidide for the needs of Company l..
This gratitude includes not only the
citizens of Newport but our predeces-
sors, who by their services and sacri-
fees have proven to you the necessity
of a home for your National Guard
Company. We are reaping the fruits
of their efforts.
With this thought in mind it seems
fitting that we should review the rec
ord of the organization, pointing out
the several instances, where it has
answered the Nations call in time
of crisis.
Company L was organized in 1881
under an act of the General Assem-
bly, providing for a separate company
of infantry at Newport. 1t was at
that time called the Grout Guards
and was first commanded by Hon. GA
Prouty. In 1883 Joel G. Moulton as
sumed command followed by S
Claude O'Connor and Jerry F. Lam.
bert. This brings US up to the time
of the Spanish American war. Wher
Company L was mustered into feder
al service with 70 men and three of
| ficers, Howard K. Blair, commanding
In 1900 Albert w. Farman was Civ
en- command, followed by Person A
| Oh
roll A. Davis, and Richard L. Corey
1t was during the command of Rich
ard T. Corey that Company L wa
trouble on the Mexican border. 'Th,
company consisting of ~ men ane
| three officers, was stationed at Eag!
Pass, Texas, undergoing intensive
training and again returning hom'
without participating III any actua
engagements.
In April 1917 the company wa
again called out, trained for thre,
months and then split up. Most O.
it's members going to organizations il
the 26th Division and Sind Ponce
Regiment. Nearly all of the Is;
members belonging to Company j. II
August 1917 were sent oversee
where they performed the tasks re
quired of them in a true Greer
Mountain boys style, several of then
making the supreme sacrifice.
\ This brings us up to the time whel
the present company was organize
and shows that your National Guar
4 Company has creditably performe
all duties in the past. But we ar
looking forward, planning if possibl
to be even more of an honor to yo
in the future. This splendid hom

How to Fail in a Dairy.

Sometimes the best way to show
how to do a thing is to tell how it
should not be done. Then the way
to succeed will be clearly evident.
With this plan in view West Vir-
ginia farmer gives some rules how
not to succeed with dairy cows, a copy
of which has just been received by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. The farmer humorist says
Don't weigh your milk, for then
you might have to figure and think.
Feed the cows timothy hay, it is
good for race horses.
Contrasting associations are need
less, they show how to save and know.
Keep the barn hot, cows are like
woodchucks.
Don't have many windows in the
barn, the hired man might look out.
Keep water ice cold, shivering
gives the cows exercise.
Avoid heavy mixers, they consume
too much valuable time.

GRAND JURY URGES
REPEALOF DRYLAWS
State Act Leads to Lawlessness
and Increases Use of Drugs,
Report Says.
DISTRACTs POLICE FORCE
Bronx Findings Come After
Examining Enright and
Prohibition Chief.

The August term of the Bronx Grand
Investigation of Federal and State en-
forcement of prohibition, handed down
q presentment to Supreme Court JUS
tice O'Malley recommended the repeal
by the State Legislature of the Mulian-
Gage act. 1t is the opinion of the jury
that repeal of the State liquor law
would remedy a situation in which the
police are distracted from ";mportan mt
and much needed duties"
The presen,rlent praises the Police De-
partment for "its wise and skilful sd-
ministration of its duty under this harsh
and undesirable statute" and presents
the picture of a police force overbur-
dened with the task of prohibition en-
fopcement. while it states that 'the spe-
cial squads employed by the Federal
abandoned their duties in the city of
New York.
As matter of fact, the number of
cases made by the police against viola
tors of the liquor law has been negligi-
BILE for months anu a more determined
effort at enforcement by Federal off,
cials than has been made since the
Volstead act became effective is at pres
ent in progress.
In making it's recommendation the
jury states that bands of men akin to
pirates are robbing each other and are
breaking into the homes of respectable
citizens to carry away what liquor they
can confiscate. The repeal OF the pro-
hibition act by the State Legislature
would be of benefit to the community.
It's passage has led to acts of unprece-
depted violence and iawlessness and the
more general use of drugs and mar
cctics."

retired policeman. was foreman of the
jury. II examined, among others. Com
