SO YEARS
RESIDENT
OF LYNDON
Joshua Bemis Well-knOwn
Citizen Died Saturday
Morning

The familiar figure of Joshua
Bemis, who for nearly 80 years has
been a resident of this town, will
never more be sen upon our strets
as Mr.. Bemis died Saturday morn
ing, afr several months of fail
ing health.
He was taken i'll in the fall, with
what seemed to be slight shock,
and never gained strength to get
out again, but his demise seemed
to be but natural and gradual
failing of physical powers, with
no definite disease, and, fortunate
ly, not degree of suffering. S.r-
vices will be held at his late home
at Cosy Bend, Tuesday. with the
Rev. Weston Cate, of the Univer-
salist church at ST. Jonnsbury, of
ficiating. The Universalist church
was the one in which Mr.. Bemis
was most interested, although he
was not a church member Mr.. Be-
mis- was born on the 9th of Nav.
and would have been 80 wears old
in the coming spring. His par
ents were Mr.. and Mrs. Amasa
Bemis, of the family so well known
in this vicinity, and his birthplace
was on Bemis Hill, his long life
having been spent there, and
most of it on the home place, the
farm now occupied bv Edwin
Hough.
In the change and excitement
of modern life, with its constant
changes, rush after excitement and
moncy-making, its feverish pleas
urcs and dissipation, such a life
seems like an old-timc story, the
peaceful, happy, unexciting alter
nation Of work and play and
school, the growing up and living
in the same home with all its as
Sociations and happiness, the old
friendships and attachments,
which the years only had
strengthened. Such Il life,
hard working, honorable, uncvent-
full, is a model one TO remember.
as it contained all the elements of
happiness and success, health,
love, happiness, honest work, a
hannv home, and the love ana
respect of his whole community.

Joshua Bemis was married to Miss
Alma V. Bennett, and So years
of happy MARRIAGE was their por-
ton No children came to COM

but they became friends to many
young people. who will always re-

Time, declared DR.. w. A. Gage,
chairman of the annual Charity
Ball of st. Johnsbury Lodge of
Elks, No. 1343 today. "The rumor
has come to the committee that the
ball is to be very dressy affair.
That is not so. We hold this an
nual ball for a good time and to
add to our Charity fund. There is
no attempt to stage a peacock
parade or to haYe anything spec
tacular."
"The decorations will be the
best we have ever had, the music
is the best that money will buy,
and we will serve a fine Luncheon.
The price of tickets is placed at
$500 per couple so that we can
guarantee that everything will be
Of the best. There is no ATTEMPT
at cxcIuSivencsS, fashion show or
snobbishness at any ElkS affair.
Any one of our 500 members can
attest to that.

members of the committee the

the men will wear dress suits if
they want to and if they don't they

DENBY WOULD REDUCE
CADETS AT ANNAPOLIS

w (lOlll WV L GU 1c-~OCt =
Denby appeared before the House
Naval committee today to recon-
mend that the navy personnel for
the next fiscal year be fixed at
10000 men and 6,000 apprentices
as compared with 100000 men
and 5000 apprentices now author
lied. Mr.. Denby recommended
that there be no reduction in the
existing strength of line officers
of the navy; that the first class
at Annapolis be graduated and
commissioned but that appoint
ments to the academy here after
be reduced to three for each
member of congress instead of
five. The naval secretary recon-
mended that 100 dcstroyers be
placed out of commission. He
estimated that the program out
lined would effect saving of $40
100000 in next years budget.
