Owing to the fact that many
resort owners have no call for
nonresident trout licenses and
where those that do have the de-
mand is small, it is impractical to
place a book of licenses with each
individual proprietor In order to
meet the demand of nonresident
fishermen trout licenses have been
conveniently placed in each To-
cality throughout the fishing re-
gion. Following are the names OF
persons where trout licenses may
be secured:

Smoke OyercOmeS ]. T. Flint and
Death Results Soon After
Removal from Fire

The village of Derby Line was the
scene of a severe fire early Thurs
day morning which resulted in the
destruction of a fine residence and
the death of its owner and occupant
j. T. Flint.
The fire was first discovered by
Mrs. Flint, who was awakened by
smoke, which had filled the house
She gave the alarm to a neighbor
Mr.. Brown, who phoned the fire de-
partment.
When the fremen arrived they
found Mr.. Flint at the foot of the
stairs overcome and nearly suffocated
by smoke He was removed, but ow-
ing to his age and feeble condition, to-
gether with his near suffocation, did
not recover and died shortly after
removal.
The fire is supposed to have caught
from the burning out of chimney
early in the evening. The fire was
held to this one building and other
property saved from destruction.
Mr.. Flint was nearly 80 years old,
and for many years had been one of
the leading business men, having con-
Quoted two drug stores, one on each
side of the line. About two years
ago he sold his business to w. H..

COVERED HEADS IN CHURCH
Before the Year 1861 Men Did Not
Remove Their Hats During
Religious Services.

About 1861 an agitation commenced
to have men remove their hats In
church-Pepys makes gentle fun Of 1t.
The custom was first to remove the
hat to cover the eyes IN prayer, and
later It was taken OF altogether.
The Introduction of the wig helped
the custom-for IT proved difncult to
keep ones hat on over a tousled
mass Of false curls. This also led to
large hats with plumes going out of
style.
Then, instead Of wearing hats in
doors, men went to the other extreme,
and often carried them in their hands
when out Of doors. The Puritans In
England continued to wear their
broad-brimmed hats, however, indoors
and out.
Mems hats and clothing were
changed with the French Revolution {;
Wigs went out, and then with the rise
Of Napoleon, dress became military
in STYLE In 1915, during the Restora-
ton period, arose the "stovepipe hat"
and breaches, at the same time be-
gan to be worn to the ankle.

One of the fastest games that ha.
been staged in Newport for a Ions
time was put across Thursday in the
armory. And although the scor,
balanced on the wrong side by eight
points at the end of the second period
1T was close game. Island Ponc
brought over, clean team of cracl
players. Their team work was unex
celled and their shooting good IL
watch. At the finish they claimed the
nigh number in score of 81 to 26
They brought with them whole
crowd of rooters and this added tt
the excitement as neither side of the
hall spared it's lungs.
At the start it looked as though Co
l. hadn't chance, when Island POND
started off with eight perfect passes
and then shot five consecutive baskets
without the least Interference. By this
time the home team had got a little
hot under the collar and they went
to it. Bigelow broke it up with a
score, then Savage scored again. Is
land Pond shot another basket then
Savage scored again, Bigelow scored
a second time, Savage made a third
and Bigelow a third. This tied the
score IL to IL. Island Pond took the
thirteeth score, and Bigelow tied the
score IA to IA at the end of the period.
During the first part of the second
period the score travelled along evenly
for the two teams. Savage shot the
first basket, Island Pond went ahead,
Savage tied the score, Ed Wells shot
a basket, the Pond team caught up,
then Bigelow scored. From this time
on the visitors started gaining and
claimed seven more baskets to two by
Savage and Bigelow and carried off
the honors in spite of frantic efforts
on the part of the home players.
Bigelow was a star in the skirmish.
He played hard and fast and was
stunts of his own which were interest
ing to watch. Harry Savage, the
youngest and smallest player on the
team, is one of the finest the COM
pany has put in at all. He is not only
one of the best shooters, but as far as
team work is concerned he hits the
high places. His work last night was
absolutely clever and his motions so
quick that they forestalled all efforts
of his adversaries. He played center.
Kennison, though playing in the posi-
tion of right forward, put up almost
entirely, a defensive game, as did
both guards, Jones and Wells. Even
at that the Island Pond players were
not covered as they should have been
for such swift team. At any events
the game was first class and the au-
dience, though not nearly so large as
last week, was an appreciate one.
McCauley's orchestra played for
dancing until one o'clock.

Emery Praised by Hoover.

Col. G. S. Emery has recently re-
ceived personal letter from Herbert
Hoover, expressing gratitude for the
fine work he has carried on as treas
urer of the Vermont State Committee
of the European Relief Committee.
Mr.. Hoover says that this has been the
greatest and most successful drive
since the war. The full amount called
for has been supplied and it will be
possible to complete the entire pro-
gram of caring for three and a half
million children until next summer
and possibly longer, owing to the fall
in prices.
Vermont's quota in this drive was
$35 900, but under the direction of
Mr.. Emery and his committee the
grand total attained was $39, 671. 26.
The amount that the state committee
actually raised was $26,797.08, while
the remainder Of $12,874.18 was re-
ceived at the council headquarters and
credited to Vermont. This amount
came through various churches and
organizations especially due to the ex-
tensive publicity given by the litter
airy Digest"
The various branches and chapters
of the American Red Cross within the
state, gave $6823.59 as subscribed.
State schools gave $5O98.57; from the
churches of the state came $4226.10;
from clubs and organizations 1884
"a; the balance of the grand total
being contributed by individuals.
The work of the state committee has
been closed with their report. Any
contributions which have been delayed
should hereafter be sent directly to
headquarters of the European Relief
Council, az Broadway, New York
City.
Mr.. Emery says that this work has
been extensive, but it was worth while
to see how willing and how wonder
full was the response of the people to
really worth while object.
Following is the letter Col. Emery
received from Secretary Hoover on
the part Vermont took in the Near
East Relief:
European Relief Council
AZ Broadway, New York City
April II, 1921
Colonel Curtis S. Emery,
Newport, VT.
Dear Mr.. Emery:
I wish to express the gratitude that
we, all of us, feel for the fine service
you have done in the Children's Re-
lief This has been the greatest and
most successful drive since the war.
We have received all we have asked
for, and we will be able to complete
the entire program of earring for three
and one half millions of children un-
til next summer.
Owing to the fall In the price OF
commodities, we can probably even
carry considerable portion OF this
relief for many months longer.
While l am indebted to you TO,
personal cooperation, the real reward
which you and l will have, is the sat
isfaction that we have jointly contri-
buted so materially to the preserva-
ton of this great mass Of children.
Yours faithfully,
