OFACAMDEN, ME-, BANK
ELMWOOD CEMETERY
GREATLY BEAUTIFIED
And About so Large Lots Added in
the Southeastern Section--Fine
Lawns Being Prepared.

Marked changes in the southeastern
section of Elmwood cemetery are being
completed with the grading of the ex-
tensive lawn running along the eastern
side of Hill street to point in front
of the Lincoln school building, the
changes including the removal OF the
unsightly wall and hedge, the leveling
of the turf, the building of garden
plots and the cutting of walks in the
burial section. Not only has this
change made a remarkable improve
ment in the appearance of that part OF
the cemetery, but it has added approx
imately fifty large burial lots, which
are now available for those who desire
to acquire them.
The cemetery commissioners, +. /.
Cutler Stephen Rizzi and Harry Pat
terson, and the superintendent of ceme-
teries, c. B. Gladding, have been en-
gagged during the greater part OF the
summer in making these changes; and
all will agree that they have accom-
plished much toward the improvement
OF the physical aspects of that section
and toward the enlargement OF the
burial facilities of the cemetery. Older
residents of the city would scarcely
recognize in the smooth lawns and
well graded surface the former un-
kempt ground with its struggling
hedge and tumbled down wall.
The ground to be devoted to burials
has been carefully plotted out into
sizeable lots, each lot being distinctly
marked with stakes flush with the
ground so that prospective purchasers
will know exactly where the bounds OF
their lots are. Moreover, the areas are
separated by neatly cut edges, giving
very attractive appearance.
On the outer side of the burial area
is a roadway, which follows in a gem
eral way the ancient highway leading
from the old Gospel Village to the
Lower Village This new roadway
fianks that side of the cemetery to the
Lincoln school grounds. and it, in turn,
is separated from the present Hill
street by great stretches of well-graded
lawn, except for the part which is now
being graded up to conform with the
grade of the school grounds. This grad
ing was made possible through an ar
rangement with the school commission
ers; and the new surface thus pre-
pared will be seeded down so that it
should come up as good as the part
already grassed over.
Several other improvements are con
templated, such as the setting out of
small trees on the edges of the road
way and possibly the removal of the
present tool house, which occupies a
position in the foreground of the Gem
etery and partially concealed by the
remnant of the old-time hedge. In case
OF the removal of the tool house, the
last vestige of the hedge will be re-
moved. However. these latter changes
will probably wait for another year.

c. v. TRAIN CHANGES.
Winter Schedule Will Go Into Effect
Sunday, Sept Is.

Those in New England who have
been indulging in the experience Of
daylight saving will 90 off that sched-
ule on Sunday, Sept. p. That means
that the railroads will revert some
what nearly to their former schedules
and that, in turn, means that the Yer
mont railroads, which have had to con-
form to the railroad timetables in
Massachusetts, and other parts of New
England, will return once more 10
some semblance of normalcy.
In keeping with the return TO sun
time schedule, the Central Vermont
Railway Co. has announced its winter
timetable. As far as it affects Barre,
that timetable means the placing of
the trains one hour later, as a rule,
with the elimination of the late aft
ernoon train outgoing and the addi.
tion of one train in the morning
On week DAYS there will be six trains
out of Barre, No. leaving at 2:4O a.
m. for the north; No. . going out
at 6:35 10 meet connections north I;
No. s leaving at s O'Clock for south
connections another leaving at 1925
p. m. to meet both north and south
trains on the main line; late after
noon train going out at 3:45 p. m. to
make connections both ways, and train
No. leaves at ll:35 p. m. for south
connection.
Trains for Williamstown will leave
Barre at 9;30 a. m. and 2;25 p. m On
the return they viii leave Williams
town at l0:40 a. m. and 3:05 p m.
The Sunday schedule from Barre to
Montpelier win carry six trains, the
first leaving at 2:40 a. m. for the
north; the second leaving at 1905 a.
m. for the north; the third leaving at
1925 for the south; the fourth leav-

DEMOCRATS GIVE
NOTICE OF ATTACK
Will Bend Their Energies Against
the Tax Revision
Bill.

Washington. d. c., Sept. 23.-Anoth-
er effort to bring up the tax revision
bill in the Senate was planned to-day
by Chairman Penrose of the finance
committee who also hoped to submit
the majority report on the measure.
The Pennsylvania senator desired to
have the bill read this week with a
view to the opening Of general debate
by next Monday, at the latest
The Democratic assault on the meas
ure already has been launched. Sens-
tors Walsh of Massachusetts and Gerry
of Rhode Island, with the approval of
Senators Simmons of North Carolina
and Reed of Missouri, other minority
members of the finance committee, is
sued a statement last night, attacking
the bill as indefensible, and giving no
tice that the Democrats would concen-
trate all their efforts in an endeavor
to change features which they deemed
"most unfair and unjust"
Senators Walsh and Gerry already
have proposed amendments which
would provide for reductions in the
normal tax rates on individual incomes
OF $4,000 or less and for a graduated
tax of from 10 to 20 per cent on in
comes of corporations in lieu of the
proposed fiat Is per cent rate.
The senators declare in their state
ment that under the Republican pro-
posal every corporation whether max
ing excess profits or not, would have
to pay so per cent increased tax on
its net income.
'Those corporations which are Ger
tain Of being able to make excess prof
its as soon as business reviyes,' saws
the statement. "are TO be Immediately
and directly benefited while those cor
porations that are certain of having
to struggle for a long period of time
before any reasonable profits are TO
be realized. are TO have their tax bur
dens increased.
we cannot accept the theory of the
Republican majority that justifies this
rank discrimination against the strug-
Cling. small profit making corporations.
No such inequitable tax was enacted
even during the war when the govern
ment was eXerting every possible
means TO raise revenue as is now pro
posed by the Republican majority in
desperation to meet the loss Of reve-
nue to the government by abolishing
the excess profits tax. a loss Of s4JO.-
OO0. 200. or one-sevenfh of the entire
tax 70 b. raised, under the proposed
revenue bill.
Discussing the proposal to reduce the
normal income tax on individuals hsv-
ing $4,000 or less a year, the state
ment saws this class Of taxpayers con
stitutes -the great investment class.
the unorganized middle class. the home
building class, indeed the bone and
sinev' Of the country" and that "yet,
the Republican program has practically
eliminated from consideration this
element Of our population, except for
small additional exemptions in the low
cr surtaN brsckets and for the heads Of
families with less than $500 income

SPLENDID STROKE
BY CHICK EVANS

Get Into Semi Finals of National
Amateur Golf Championship.

Chick Evans and Bob Gardner, played
Bostonian, Jesse Guilford, and a
British champion, Willie Hunter, to-
day in the semi finals of the national
amateur golf championship at the st.
Louis Country club. Evans, the present
titleholder, yesterday defeated Jesse
Sweetser of New York. After display
ing considerable carelessness, Evans
had to hole % foot side hill putt on
the home green to win. The most skill
full and telling shot Evans used at this
critical hole was cut braissie which
carried the ball more than 200 yards
over two hills to the blind green and
dropped it within l5 feet, so great was
the back spin. This shot is unique for
the champion.
Guilford reached the semi final round
after a hard match with r. Johnston Of

ming one up by shooting 81 1916 in
the forenoon and 373774 in the after
