turned and ran like q scared deer

and just beyond the steps Harry
caught and kissed her, and her cheeks
had the color OF roses when he led
her back.
John Mcneil kissed Ann RutIedge

GUY Richmond Welcl

The communitv was shocked by
the sudden death of Guy WEIGH
on Sunday Nov. 81. He had been
i'll of diptheria, but that had clear
cd and apparently he was making
u rapid gain to health, when com
plications developed and his heart
was too weak to resist them.
Guy Welch was born July 8,
1903 in McIndoes, the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Arthur P. WEIGH. The
greater mart of his thirteen years
had been lived in Passumpsic,
where he had become a general fav
orite. Away MET and reserved,
he could be found ready to help
whenever he was needed. He was
a Boy Scout and had proven
himself worthy of his membership.
A brief prayer service was con-
Quoted in the ward at noon Mon
day, by the Rev. A. N. Pierce.
The beautiful flowers given by
friends and neighbors were testi-
mony of the esteem in which the
lad was held. The body was TAX
en- to North Monroe, N. H.. for
interment in the family lot. There
are left to mourn his loss. the
father and mother, two brothers,
George P. and Reginald G, besides
host of friends.

one of the children entering since
the Preventorium was started two
years ago has died and all who
have left the Preventorium after
the six months have been given
clean bills of health.
From Caledonia county seven
children have been sent and all
these have come from St. Jonns-
bury, because of conditions in the
home, these have been cared for
by the VT. tuberculosis asso-
citation and all have been wonder
fully helped. There is still one
case in the Preventorium from st.
Johnsbury, a girl who was very
aenemic, had no mother and not
the proper care in the home. She
has gained in every way and will
be able to leave there in February.
So fine has been the work at
Essex (even with the handicaps
for lack of room> that Miss Proc
tor and Mr.. Proctor have given to
the state $4,000 and a beautiful
hill site in Pittsford for a new
Preventofium which is to hold
twice the number of children now
Accommodated. This is to be known
as the Caverlv Preventorium and
will be ready for occupancy in the
spring.
The money for this work for
our children is obtained in large
part from the sale of the Christ
mas seals. These seals are to be
sold in St. Johnsburv by our boys
and girls on Saturday the third
of December. Because Of the sew
en- children who have been restor-
ed to health and normal living at
the Preventolium will you not con-
tribute generously for this sale
and thus make it possible to save
another seven of our childrep
when need arises.

assigned by the state automobile

so many booze runners. However

to Judge Howe, that plate together

which bore the booze. An in-
spection of the plates before they

possibility of confusion of serious

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD
MONTREAL, July 1S.-Although lot
of pessimism has been created In eastern
Canada because of the extremely serious
effect of the drought and excessive heat
1t is of a more or less superficial kind
and will be forgotten soon. Damage to
crops. cattle and country has been very
heavy, but most reports are greatly ex-
aggerated. Crops have not failed totally
in the East, but they have been cur
tailed without doubt. The standing tim
Der of eastern Canada, contrary to re-
ports. has not been burned out
Business all over the country, however.
Is stagnant.
The Western crop condition is gem
orally good, although not as optimistic
as 1t was two weeks ago. Black rust
has made its appearance and Is spread
ing. The result of the crop now depends
on the weather. A total of 1864, 100
acres were sown to wheat this year In
the West. against 1s,2S2.374 in 1920.
In the face of the United States tariff
the job of marketing the Canadian grain
crop this pear will be a very heavy
one. 1t Is suggested that the Canadian
Government will act as sales agent for
the entire crop
In the financial districts the stock
markets are extremely dull. and bond
business. while being far below its
May volume, is still ahead of what it
was at the corresponding time a year
ago.
The Canadian steel companies are not
busy. Operations in the British En-
pire Steel Corporations plants, how
ever. are up to about seventy per cent.
of those Of year ago.
1t is limited here that two leading
Canadian sugar refiners, not the two
mentioned previously in THE NEW YORK
HERALD, are contemplating merging. the
first step being a close working ar
rangement.
Woolen goods mills in Canada are
showing greater activity.
The export of lumber from Canada to
the United States. in view of the new
tariff. has fallen off to nothing at all.

journal. who arrived here yesterday on

country could use within its own bor-
ders. AS a result the surplus gees into

U. s. TRADE MISSION
ENDS GERMAN VISIT
Reception in Berlin Most Cor
dial Accorded to AM. For

Special Gable TO THE New YoRK HERALD.
Copyright, 1921. by THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Berlin. July 10.
The American Chamber OF Commerce
delegation. headed by ]. Fl. De Fries.
has completed it's visit in Germany and
departed to-day for Prague, whence,
after spending two days, the delegates
will go to Vienna. Their reception in
Berlin was the most cordial the Ger
mans have accorded any foreign mis-
sion. The Government. manufacture
ers and commercial associations gave
receptions and dinners and sent promi-
nent men to confer with the Americans
The principal events were luncheon
given Saturday by industrial leaders,
which was attended, among others, by
Hugo SHINES, Director Widefeldt of the
Krupp works and Director Deutsch of
the General Electric Company, and a
reception Sunday morning given by DR..
Friedrich Rosen. German Foreign Min
lister. with Chancellor Wirth and DIR.
struction, present.
Among the financial experts whom
the Americans saw were ihe heads of
the German Treasury, Bankers Mendel-
sohn and Wasserman, and also the vice.
president of the Economic Parliament
Herr Tiez, Germans "Wanamaker" also
paid his respects, as did DR.. Koetsch,
Conservative party head. and Herr
Gradnauer. the Socialist Prussian Min
lister. This indicates the range of par
ties whose representatives were received
by the delegation. The German trade
unions appointed Herr Sassenbach to
present their case.
The Germans indicated their desire to
win American support, but said they did
not so much desire immediate credit at
any terms as rational credit combined
with possibilities to obtain raw ma
terials and dispose of their finished
wares, seeking thus to stabilize the mark
and make their budget ends meet. The
vital concern shown seemed TO be more
to reestablish vigorous buying public
able to meet living needs than to sat
isfy immediate demands.
The Germans also emphasized the adj
visibility of immediate action to reduce
the extent of the depression and unem-
ployment expected during the coming
winter. The American delegates visited
a popular German amusement park at
night. Several of them saw Haupt-
manns revolutionary play. THE Weav-
ers" in Rheinhardts Crosses Shauspeil-
haus.
The Austrian Government and Cham
Der of Commerce have prepared a pro-
gramme filling every minute of the time
of the delegates except one-half hour, for
which they apologize and which they
plan to fill before the arris al of the
Americans, among whom. besides Mr.
De Fries, are John Fahey, former pres
ident of the American Chamber of Com
merce; Silas Straw of Montgomery
