ry Blodgett Monday afternoon
Clifton Casey of Williston was
fined $50 and costs of $500 for
operating an automobile under the
influence of liquor on the Danville
road Sunday afternoon. Casey
with a friend was proceeding to-
wards St. Johnsbury when he met

his Ford roadster struck a stone
in such a manner as to bend the
"wishbone" and to cause the front
wheels to bend under the car. Or
ficer Wallace happened along and
took the young man to st. Johns
bury. Casey's license was revok-
ed by Secretary of State Harry A.

of States Attorney Campbell he
was given the minimum sentence
in view of the fact that this is the
first offense.

quest, and the same is true of har-
ness feathers. The hide and skin mar
kets are in a healthy condition, the
demand for both being fair; prices
are we'll maintained, and excess stocks
have been disposed of.
There has also been a slight better
ment in the demand for paper, the
Improvement manifesting itself not in
the size of the orders but in their
increased number. The volume of
orders being received by fine paper
manufacturers is greater than at this
time last year. Production, however,
has not been increased present oper-
ating schedules being approximately
so per cent. of capacity. No change
has occurred in the demand for paper
boxes. Recent sales are about 70 per
cent. of the normal for this time of
the year.
Although few large cigar factor
les in the district are exceptionally
busy, the cigar industry in general is
very dull, sales having fallen off ma
terially during the past four weeks.
AS a result, there is little activity
in the leaf tobacco market, and sales
are few in number and small in size.
Retail trade has slumped consider
ably since the first of the year. Sales
normally decline during January and
February, but the falling off this year
has been greater than usual. The
sales in the Third Federal Reserve
District during January were 12.1 per
cent. less than those of January, 1921,
and recent reports indicate that the
decline during February will also be
large. This is true despite the fact
that stores have conducted extern
sively advertised reduction sales, and
is result no doubt of the fact that
| more serviceable and useful gifts
were purchased during the Christmas
season of 1921 than had been the case
for many years. Owing to this re-

At the Playhouse

Broken Branches" play in three
acts, will be the attraction at the
Playhouse in Wilmington, the last
three days of this week, with Satur-
day Matinee. The attraction is play
ing a preliminary tour of only one
week, previous to opening at one of
the Shubert theatres on Broadway,
New York City, for an extended en-
gagement.
The cast includes the names of
some of the most prominent American
and European artists. Hyman Adler,
who plays the role of an old Holland
diamond merchant, has played STAR
ring engagements in all the principal
cities in Europe and America, having
created and been starred in the role
of Mawruss Perlmutter in potash
and Perlmutter," during the engage
ment in London and all the other
European capitals. Mr.. Adler has
been frequently favorably compared
to David Warfeld as a creator of
comedy character types. J. M. Kerri-
gan, who plays the opposite role to
Mr.. Adler, was for many years a
favorite in London, Dublin and other
principal cities of Great Britain, as a
member of Kady Gregory's Dublin
Players, with which organization he
originally came to America.
