HOW MANY ARE YOU GOING To
TAKE?

Although here in Lamoille county
the days so far have been cool and
comfortable-almost too cool, per-
haps-summer is really here; and we
must not forget that little further
south and in the large cities the heat
is already getting almost unbear-
able. Since the first sign of warm
weather thousands upon thousands of
little city children have been dream
ing of fresh air vacations. Already
they are counting the days to the
time when they will get chance for
real play somewhere out of the mar
row, dirty streets in which they live.
Won't you help make their dream
come true by taking at least one of
them for the first two weeks of
1t means but two weeks
of your whole glorious summer to
you, but to these little city dwellers
it is the hope of the whole year.

June Meeting of Delta Alpha Class

The June meeting of the Delta
Alpha Class was held in the M. E.
Church parlors last week Wednesday
evening and served a two-fold pur-
pose, that of the regular meeting of
the class and to help Mr.. and Mrs.
B. E. Eaton celebrate their 18th we'd
ding anniversary.
The church was beautifully decor
ated in yellow and white, using
syrniges, buttercups and yellow and
white crepe paper. There was large
piece for the center of the room of
forget-me-nots. 1t was very pretty
planned affair had it not been marred
by the fact that the groom was en-
paneled as one of the jury on Grim
inal case being tried at Hyde Park
and would not be allowed to come
home much as we plead for his pres
ence. Mrs. Eaton came to the church
as she supposed to the d. A. meeting,
she being the president. She was
Immediately given a beautiful bridal
bouquet and leaning on the arm of
her father, A. j. Brooks, marched
into the parlor to the strains of
Lonhegrin's Wedding March, played
by Marion Benson, where she stood
under an arch, from which suspended
a large yellow and white bell and re-
ceived congratulations from the rela-
tives, members of the class and their
husbands and few invited guests.
Miss Benson played during the recep-
ton.
The following program was given:
Solos, "Just Song of Long Ago."
81 Love You Truly" Mrs. A. M.
Lawson; original poem for the occa-
sion by Mrs. c. H. Cornell; piano
solos, Marion Benson; vocal solos,
"When the Daisies Blow" "Just
Some One," Mrs. E. w. Terrill; vocal
duet, "Td Live or I'd Die for You,"
Mr. and Mrs. A. w. Lawson.
Rev. w. T. Best made some excep-
tionally well chosen remarks, tell
ing of the high esteem in which the
couple are held and their usefulness
in connection with the church. He
then presented them with silver tea
spoons from the class and purse of |
money from other relatives.
The deserted bride responded very
feelingly and appreciatively in be- |
half of herself and husband for the |
very pleasant gathering and gifts, !
saying also that she knew "Ben" was |
feeling more disappointed than the /
company gathered because of his alb
sence. Games were played, delicious
refreshments of ice cream with fresh |
Strawberries, assorted cakes and cof-
fee were served. A beautiful decor
ated wedding cake as well as de-
lieious totash was presented to the
bride, made by the groom's sister,
Mrs. Ashton Mudgett.
The hostesses were Mrs. R. H.
Farr, Olive Allen, Mrs. F. W. Ter
rill. Mrs. P. c. Jones. Mrs. S. R.
Crocker, Mrs. A. w. Lawson. Mrs.
c. E. Lanphear and Mrs. T. B. Ellis.

The Law and Autos in Wolcott

Sunday was the liveliest day VOL
colt had seen for a long time. P. A.
Hollenbeck, our lately appointed con-
stable, held up 18 cars for fast and
reckless driving. He explained to
them the automobile laws, and gave
some good advice. After receiving
same, some of them moved on more
carefully. Others have been reported
to the secretary of state, not only
for reckless driving, but for refusing
to stop when requested to do so by
an officer. To cap the climax, four
bravadoes drove through the village
in Ford car, just after dark, at a
break-neck speed with their rear
number plate hanging by one wire.
They refused to stop when signalled
to do so, but were captured later
on by the officer, who searched them
and the car and found six empty pop
beer bottles and some broken ones
and a two-quart fruit jar containing
a small amount of home-brew or hard
cider. The officer was on duty from
800 a. m. to 1890 p. m. Better obey
the law, boys, the way of the trans
gressor is hard.

Farm Bureau Picnic at Eden

Members of the Farm Bureau en-
joyed a picnic on the meadow of Mr..
ingalls, at Eden Corners Saturday of
last week. Over 300 attended and
appeared to enjoy the midday lunch,
the most of any of the days events,
although a ball game between teams
captained by Harry Neuland and Del
bert Welch was very interesting.
Everyone appeared to be strong with
the cudgel. In the afternoon a busi-
ness meeting of the Farm Bureau
was held, in charge of Pres. w. F.
Sinclair of Johnson. Membership and
finances were reported by Secretary
Colby Bartlett and Treasurer Fred
Carpenter. Mr.. Sinclair explained
the method of larger membership
fee to cover county expenses as well
as need of more funds if the Farm
Bureau intends to support the State
and National Farm Bureau work. An
able address by J. A. Leach of the
executive committee of the State
Farm Bureau Federation was very
instructive and gave the members an
insight into the activities now being
carried on by the Federation. At
the close of the address vote was
taken on the recommendations of the
executive committee that the Farm
Bureau membership fee for the next
three years be $40 annually and was
accepted.
Lieut.. Abe Foote of Cornwall was
present for short part of the after
noon session and gave short address
relative to Farm Bureau work as it
is carried on in his section.

Farmers Cleanup Week

The State Farm Bureau executive
committee is recommending a gen.
eral cleanup the premises" week for
Vermont farmers and have desig-
mated the last week in June as a
time, just before haying begins when
the work would fit into the farmers
program nicely.
1t seems to US that this is a very
happy suggestion and well worth
needing. Not only will it save us
many dollars to stop and put away
the spring work machinery where it
will be protected from sun and storm,
to right-up the silo that has become
twisted with hoops loosened, and
hang the garden gate, to keep the
cattle from straying in and feeding
on our household crop, but it will
add so much to the attractiveness of
our farm and increase the esteem in
which we are held. Somehow, it
seems to us that we owe it to every
body to engage in this cleanup busi-
ness; our city friends who care so
much for the beauty of the country
in summer time that they come out
to see us and enjoy the beauties of
Vermont scenery in ever-increasing
numbers; our neighbors who have
carefully improved their own homes
and would like to have their COM
munity known for it's thrift and tidi-
ness and surely we owe it to our
wives and children to make their
homes a place of beauty to the extent
of removing unsightly things as far
as it is in our power to do so.-From
