Max Goldstein Of Burlington Refused
Permit to Donate Goods by Auction

Max Goldstein, philanthropist, IS
disappointed in Middlebury That the
village should refuse point blank his
benefaction of $1,000 toward community

the trouble and expense. OF the trip,
and what is more, the injury to his
finer sensibilities occasioned by the
rudeness of his rundown.
Max is an apostle, you know, OF the
Millennium of lower living costs HIS
gospel however failed to measure up to
the orthodoxy OF the Board Of Trustees
and he was advised to take himself and
luggage beyond the gates before sun
down Here is how it came about.
On Friday afternoon the village was
strewn with handbills announcing an
auction of dry goods and furnishings
on Main street the following afternoon.
The most diligent investigation failed
TO ascertain the responsibility for the
advertising. Nobody knew Certain
local business men in particular, fearful
of the competition Of the anonymous
stranger, exerted particular efforts to
discover his identity but to mo avail.
Mr.. Goldstein appeared Friday eve
ming. His step was gingerly as he de-
Scended from the train. So anxious
was he to get to the village square
that with difficulty did his consort
keep apace There could be no doubt
of his welcome. and there would be
nothing. to do but survey the ground
and wait for the importing OF the
shekels on the morrow Middlebury
ought to welcome him with open arms,
if she only knew,-but she would on
the morrow when his cases OF hne fur
nishings were opened to an admiring
throng.
The cases of furnishings were never
removed from the station. AS soon as
Mr.. Goldstein and his assistants ap-
piled for the permission to hold their
auction they were refused. No, the
trustees would not permit the sale in
the Wimmette market, for the after
noon hire of which Max had paid $25
cash. Nor could the auction be held

A considerable crowd had been at

Teacher Makes Many Improve
ments in Cornwall

When on Monday last the pupils Of
District No. ) went to school for the
opening of the spring term, they were
agreeably surprised to find that their
room had been completely renovated.
Mrs Beatrice Watt, the teacher, had
taken advantage of the vacation period
to change its appearance entirely. Sew
eral weeks ago the boys and girls had
given an entertainment in the hope OF
realizing funds enough TO make their
school more attractive but the most
optimistic of them had not dared wish
for the big improvement that Mrs.
Watt has made with the proceeds Of
their exhibition
The windows all have new shades
now. There is an attractive clock to
warn the children that it is always
time to study. The example OF Abra-
ham Lincoln and of President Harding
will be ever before the eyes of those
tempted to disregard their present OPP
portunties, for two new large framed
pictures of them adorn the walls Then
there is a new dask for the teacher and
new chairs for the superintendent and
visitors new in the sense OF their ap-
pearing 20 in fresh coat OF varnish.
OF course the walls were newly papered
and the woodwork painted, with other
minor touches of a change for the bet
ter wherever needed To complete the
attractiveness of the room, several
plants in blossom were obtained for
the windows.
