KATHLEEN WINS
GOOD AUDIENCE
BUSINESS WOMEN'S PLAY
is WELL PRODUCED
TWO EVENINGS

Before good audiences on both Mon
day and Tuesday evenings of this
week, Kathleen, pretty musical
comedy, was presented by large cast
under the auspices of the Business
and Professional Women's club. The
home talent production was prettily
staged and won the applause of all
who saw it. Costumes were attractive,
the choruses were exceptionally good
and the principal parts were played in
a most capable manner
Miss Helen Delaney, who took the
part of Kathleen, possesses a
charming stage appearance and her
composure and confidence throughout
added much to her portrayal of the
character Miss Daisy Burk as 'Flos-
sic" an intimate friend of Kathleen's,
took the role in delightful way.
Maurice B. Blanksten, as Lem I'm
derduck'', Flynnyille's sheriff, proved
a humorist of the first class. Walter
Giese as Michael Flynn, the richest
citizen, played the part with his usual
ability. Arthur YELLOW as Jimmie
Stanton, showed much talent and his
tenor solo, Kathleen, was one of the
prettiest of the musical numbers.
Cecil Coel, as .Ned Rollingston", the
college lad, played the part we'll.
"Teckley Bramble," the best checker
player, was an amusing character, and
Arnold G. Heise filled the role in fine
shape. Perhaps the greatest scream
Of the comedy was Ida Van Dyrck as
"Arabella Wilkins" the village post
mistress. st es
While all of the choruses were good,
none received the ovation from the
audience that did the BY Hecks. These
little girls took such whole-hearted
interest in their singing and acting
that they won the audience instantly
They were called back both evenings
to repeat their number.
The dream kiddies met with the
hearty reception always accorded so
attractive a. group of little tots.

TANGLE OF THE TIMETABLES

The tangle of the time tables fol-
lowing the action of the railroads in
going on daylight saving for the sum
mer is just one more agency that is
driving the people from passenger
trains to touring cars. Several agen-
cies have been working in recent years
to ALLEVIATE the public from steam
transportation, and the railroads must
have felt the effect of the alienation
very much. The trouble is that the
railroads try to drive people to travel
when the railroads want to run their
trains and not to run the trains to ac-
commodate the people. The result is that
in Vermont about one person in every
eight of the population-men, women
and children--has motor car of his
own and he just fingers his nose at the
railroads during the season when tray
Ell would naturally be the heaviest. The
automobile manufacturers, of course,
are not worried over these indirect eff
forts of the railroads to ruin their own
business.

The late Richard Croker, former
leader of Tammany Hall and boss of
politics in New York City for years,
was man of great energy, both men
tai and physical, and he went to the
fore because of that aggressiveness,
which was his characteristic from early
boyhood gang days to the time when
he presided as the head Of Tammauy.
He was not schooled man except in
the school Of human experience and
what he lacked in training inside the
school room he made up in part

THE FOREST FIRE SEASON

The frequency of forest fires in "a
rious parts of Massachusetts sounds a
sharp warning to the people OF YER
mont, where conditions are becoming
dangerous for the start of confiagra-
tions. Already great tracts of land, in
Guiding timber, have been burned over
in the neighboring state; and the loss
in the aggregate has been heavy. Most
of these fires are started, no doubt, by
careless persons who are out fishing r
hunting. Unaccustomed to the woods
and to the danger of forest fires, they
throw down burning matches or stubs
Of cigarettes or cigars just as they
would do while walking along the
street of some village or city, and
think nothing more about it. Not al
ways do these firebrands develop into
eonAagrations but considerable per-
centage of them do get in their de-
struetive work. One flip of cigar
or cigarette stub means, perhaps, the
loss of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, As long as conditions remain as
dry as they are, the utmost caution
should be exercised everywhere in YER
mont to see that forest fires are not
started.
