THE BOY, FATHER OF THE
MAN.

Here's another of those Booth
rrarlxine+on boy-and-girl stories
that set everyone laughing and
living over again the days of youth:
This one is much like 'Penrod"

IT'S different, too, in that 1t carries

funny, and it's one OF Booth Tar
kingdoms best of its kind. That's
enough.

Just before the game began
"Tobey" Matthews, former i!ol
Of St Johnsbury fans, was pre-
sented with a gold Elks' ring by
j. Rolf Searles of the Caledonia
county bar. In brief but pithy
speech, Mr.. Searles expressed the
popular sentiments of the fans
and presented the ring to "To-
hey" who was abashed by this
demonstration of esteem. A "yin
illumincd his countenancc fro 4

out, "All | can say is, | thank

FAST NEWPORT
TEAMS ARRANGE
SERIES OF GAMES
Newport High to Clash
With Am. Lcgion-CO. l.
Team on Feb. Il

In conference held Tuesday
evening in the Goodrich Memorial
library Manager Lisle Fitzpatrick
OF the American Lcgion-Co. l.
quintet and Coach Walter kipp OF
the Newport High school five de
tinltely decided to arrange a series
OF games between the two teams
Owing to the hcayiness of the high
school schedule only one date was
positively settled, that of Feb. u.
The first game will undoubt-
cdly be played in the School hall,
the second in the Annoy, and in
case of a victory for each, the
third game will probably be also
player in the Armory.
The probability of series Of
games between these teams has
caused much comment the whole
season and now that it will come
to pass it will be the talk of the
sporting element of this section.
Many are the supporters of the
high school, whose team has met
with but one defeat this season,
that from the strong Dean Aca-
DENY five of Franklin, Mass. The
other quintet has its followers, wnr
believe that their favoritcs can
undo the sterling N. II. S. aggrc-
cation. Either way, these games
will in all probability be the most
interesting ever played here.
On the American Lcgion-Co. l.
team these old stars will be seen
in action:
"Shy" kenniSon, veteran of many
historic basket ball contests.
Buster Bigelow, ex-N. II. S. and
St. Paul school player, who has
been the speed Of the Legion Co.
l. team this year.
Jimmy Jones, the versatile
EngliShman, who has dauntcd
many an ambitious forward.
Steve Keith, former high school
and U. V. NJ. payer.
Harley Stevens, eX-N. H. S,
center.
Also Ed. Wells, H. Mossa and
Others.
On the N. II. S. quintet this
year, which is among the leaders
of the claimants of the State
championship, are the following
stars:
"Slim' Hill, a veteran Of three
years, and one of the fastest for
wards in the state.
Larry Gardner, one Of the best
shots ever at n. H. S. He secured
27 baskets in one game last sea
son.
Lem Albcc, the best center since
Wilcox, who played on the cham
pionShip 19l2-13 team.
Crawford Lance, a hard player
and consistent guard.
Capt. jim Addison, the mainstay
of the defense. and an able captain.
Dick Proutv, a forward of great
promise, who has displayed his cali
bre in many games this season.
Rob Akin, a good puard and an
able substitute for the other two
mesh shoppers.
In all, this game will give the
city and surrounding communities
something to remember for many
a day.

GENTLEMEN
Brilliant Annual Event
Held at Maple Grove
Tea Rooms

In past years the ladies have
celebrated gentlemen's night +
the st. Johnsbury Woman's club
but the annual event Tuesday
night at the Maple Grove Tea
rooms was everything the name in
dicated. Men were there scores
strong, and, more than that they
seemed glad to be there The
Maple Grove Tea rooms into
which Pinehurst has been convet-
ted lends itself well to gathering
of the kind and the $50 members
and guests of the club spent a
happy evening under the hospit-
able roof.
Mrs. A. w. Flint, president of
the club, in gracious words of
welcome expressed her pleasure It
the large numbers out and suS-
gested that the gentlemen might
enjoy the evening though present
under protest. The club was per-
mitted to gather there she said
through the courtesy of daugh-
ter and granddaughter Of the club,
Mrs. George M. Gray and Mrs.
Harold Powell, proprietors of the
Tea rooms.
The program and entertainme 1t
were provided by the Music and
Social committees of the club and
no happier provision has ever been
made for gentlemen's night. Mrs.
Marguerite Sherlock, a profession
al reader of Lancaster and BoS-
ton, had selected her program with
great thought and the same was
true of the selections chosen ~
a double quartet composed of
Mrs. George c. Cary, Mrs. Homer
Smith, Mrs. w. Z. Blodgctt. Ms.
Ida Brooks, Mrs. Harold Abbott,
Mrs. Richard Levasseur, Mis-
Catherine Morrison and Miss Ber-

and "The Barefoot Trail" In the

Madrid, January 1.-The coalition cabinet, headed by Antonio Maura as premier, and minister of justice, re- signed today as a result of the bit ter political strife which has been prevalent in Spain for long time.
 Marked opposition lately had been shown to the conduct of the ministry of war by Senor De La Cierva and the ministry of finance by Seno Cambo.
