when he saw the last of the Goth
Division arriving and knew that
only 100000 American soldiers
were in France, he thought that
they were all destined to a brutal
sacrifice. He then rapidly sketched
the battles in which so many of
his hearers participated, paying a
tender tribute to the St. Johnsbury
boy for whom the American Le-
gion Post is named, w. r. Knapp,
and who was the first Vermonter
to give his life on a foreign field,
at the battle of Seichprey.
"For such as these you unveil
this monument. You consecrate il
to the 10 soldiers whose names will
help form a higher character in
every child, and make better citi-
zens of every man and woman who
shall look upon this tablet where
they are inscribed. You conse-
crate it to the honor and the glory
of all who served in a greater hui
man experience than is yet record
ed in history, mythology, drama or
epic, and who played their parts
in the most stupendous tragedy
of all time. And this war will be
known as the most tremendous
transformation, the most whole
some regeneration that has been
required of the human race at any
time. Now stunned by the appal-
ling sacrifice the nations will by
and by emerge from the inferno
that has puroed them for new
existence, and they who mourn
shall find consolation in the fact
that they sorrow in a cause which
transforms a world.

Crowd of 1000
Watches Carnival

A crowd estimated at between
5000 and 1000 gathered on Rail
road street, while mary others oc-
cupied points Of vantage in win
dows OF buildings, along both sides
of the big thoroughfare and on
roof tops, to view the big Carnival
program, which was staged under
The auspices of the Crescent club
of St. Johnsbury. The affair was
a complete success from every
angle except that of at least three
fourths of the audience. Seventy
five per cent of the people got
little ou. of the entertainment but
crooked necks and strained toes,
the reward for their strenuous eff
forts to get even a glimpse of
what was going on in the arena.
The show was very good, but
the crowd was handled in very
poor manner. Practically every
one was courteous and orderly,
bus there seemed to be no one to
handle them in a way to permit all
or most all to see the festivities.
Had the crowd been better sep
arated a much larger number
would have been able to secure a
peek at the fun.
Three bands, the Lyndonvillc,
Newport and st. Johnsbury aggre-
cations of musicians furnished
music for the occasion. One band
was stationed at either end of the
enclosed area while one was locat-
ed in the center. A cage had been
installed to house the "wild" ami
mails. A stage was built, on which
many of the performers did Their
acts. The program consisted of a
chariot race, acrobatic stunts and
various other kinds of entertain
ment. The performers were dress

pecially fortunate in having one
that had visited France during the
war and who was the soldiers best
friend.
Col. Dale spoke eloquently and
with much feeling for nearly 80
minutes, holding the attention of
the vast crowd until his close and
being interrupted several times by
applause. He said the monument
was consecrated to sacrifice made
under circumstances of which we
knew but little; to duty met in a
war which we have small compre-
hension; to power which will go
out to generations when they face
responsibilities of which we have
no knowledge whatsoever.
The speaker stressed the infiu-
ence of the participants in the war,
saying it was concrete force be-
yond measure. 1t came from army
experience, where there were
hardships that were unjust but
which by and by would make bet
ter citizens of all.
Speaking of the governments
interest in the soldiers he said Il
was better than the soldiers nave
thought it was. computations,
patronage, civil service rules, in
capacity and other drags on eff
cheney have made progress slow to
the extent of desperation, and this
has brought untold hardship and
suffering to many Of the most
deserving in dire necessity. The
government failed to sec its splen-
did opportunity, it threw away
rare investment, when it delayed
the payment of that for which ior
want of lust name it called the
bonus. While past misfortune
cannot be made good, the intent
will be carried out and enlarged"

his first visit to France and said

Trick Ponies Please
Crowd at Common

A feature of the afternoon pro-
gram that pleased e crowd was
the trick pony exhibition on the
Summer street common. 1t fitted
in nicely between the excitement
of the automobile hill-climDlng
contest and the big ball game.
The ponies were part of Prof.
Ness horse show and his acts in
cluded fancy saddle and hack
riding, bronco busting and fancy
stepping. The pony riding and
dancing by the baby girl of the
party delighted the kids, bo,h of
a younger and an older growth.
No one in the audience seemed to
care to accept the professors
challenge to follow his stunts
with the bucking bronco. The boys
of st. Gabriel's band furnished
appropriate music.

big drawing card and the good
sized crowd that attended the final
game of the season between the
Yankees of Summerville and the
Canadians, representing st. Cab
riel's school in the Caledonian-

enjoyed one of the best contests
staged by these youngsters during
the spring and early summer. The

The batting order OF the two
teams was as follows:
The Caledonian-record. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1920-current, 1921-07-05

of IL to 8, making it four games
won over the Canadians.
Young LaPoint, who is remem-
bered as very capable ball player
when he attended Junior High
school, was on the mound for Oh =.
Yanks in the absence of Ellis, tn :
Yankee premier hurler, who has
gone to the mountains for the
remainder of the hot weather.
Desrochers, the chunk little twirler
of the Canadians, who has pitched
every game in ST. Gabriels school
has figured, faced LaPoint. The
latter HEAVIER had the better Of the
argument and kept the hits of the
opposition scattered while his team
mates gave him gilt edge support.
The game was featured by
heavy hitting and a few mighty
good catches in the field. LaPoint
showed he was no novice at the
pitching game as he mixed the
balls like an old timer. He had.
the Canadians bal ltossers batting
at some awful bad ones good
share of the time and this all work
ed to his advantage.
There were errors, of course,
during the game, but they were
near and far between. In fact the
showing the little fellows made
would make the Sunset Leaguers
sit up and take notice. Most of
the hits on both sides were clean.
The sun bothered the fielders more
or less which was the cause of
most of the miscues.
Bill Larma carried off the hit
ting honors of the contest by
hammering out long home run.
Burrows, Gill and Desrochers
banged out triples while LaPoint
and Burrows each smashed out
good clean doubles. The Canad-
ians were out hit and out played
and were never in the running al
though the boys kept up their
courage and played hard until the
finish.
The game did not get under way
until 9.15 o'clock and in view of
the fact that the members of the
Canadians were scheduled to
march in the parade with st. Cab
riel's school band, it was impos-
sible to play the regulation
number of innings. AS result
the contest was cut down to five
innings. The boys played fast
ball and finished up at just exactly
10 O'Clock.

KEEPS FIRM CONTROL
Makes Prisoners Comfortable. But
Knocks Down Bad One
With Big Keys.

san ANGELO, Tex, December s.
by Mrs. Pat Conway. jailer of the
Tom Green county jail in San Angelo
but Mrs Conway uses force, if nee
essary, to control her charges She
is the only woman jailer in Texas, so
not the only. woman jailer in the
country.
For more than twelve years Mrs
Conway has had charge of all kinds
of criminals, including the real bad
men" of the west. cattle rustlers
housebreakers, yeggs and petty
thieves
Care is given by Mrs. Conway to
her charges and in case one becomes
ill she feeds the prisoner with spe-
cially prepared food from her own
table. So far as possible, she tries
to make her charges forget they are
in prison and to make the surround
ings as comfortable as possible.
On one occasion Mrs. Conway was
tipped off that a big negro prisoner
and others had planned to overpower
her and make their escape at meal
time. Calmly she began her duties
of giving them supper. The negro
edged toward the door of the cage
and ignored command to move back
into his cell. Mrs. Conway had the
bunch of big keys in her hand and
with one blow rendered the prisoner
unconscious and forced the Others
back into their cells.
Mrs. Conway has been a resident of
San Angelo since the days of old Fort
Concho. Her husband, Pat Conway.

courthouse, was a soldier at Fort

"Of the failures during the week"
