A WELCOME COMMITTEE

NEN YORK, June 30-N eW
York the second largest city in
the World-some claim it is the
largest-is going back to the fav-
orite boom method of the small
town. 1t is going to appoint a
"Welcome Stranger Committee
figuratively to extend to the visit
ors the keys of the city.
This action was decided upon
after the New York Hotel Asso-
citation set forth that folks in
other parts of the country had got
an entirely wrong idea of the city
from what they had read about it
in the newspapers.
The job of the new committee is
to make it known that, despite the
accounts of murders, suicides,
holdups and scandals that have
been featured in the news, New
York is just as safe as any Cop
her Prairie-with better water,
milk and police protection to boot.
New York is particularly anxi-
Gus to get this idea across imme~
diately, for it is in the summer
that honeymooners flock to the
city from the ends of the land.
And the hotel men feel that
these visiting couples, perched
atop buses touring the city, are
somewhat neglected. They need
someone to shake them by the
hand and show them the invisible
ropes of the town, leaving them
to pick out Lady Liberty, Grants
Tomb and the Woolworth Tower
for themselves.

Every day we take some sort
of a hike. We used to think it was
fun to hike in the rain but now
that friend sun has condescended
to come out and play with US
we're twice as jubilant. We're
just hoping now that he will re-
main friendly.
We were very much grieved this
morning when we started out for
our swim to find that our wharf
was leaving US and along with it
was going the steps that lead
down to it. With a little ingenui-
ty and coaxing we have persuaded
it to stay few days longer with
uS.
We have a turtle now that is
running in competition with our
skunk. This turtle plays with our
toes and heels in the water and
every time that we dive we ex-
pect he'll come up with him
hanging on to our nose.
We're dreading the time now
when we must leave here and
wouldn't you if your cook gave
you roast lamb and vanilla sher-
bet with crushed strawberries for
our Sunday dinner? And of course
we hate just awfully to leave our
counsellors who have been such
sports and friends.
We're already planning though
on the time when We'll be back
next year only we think that We'll
go home and rest just bit first
perhaps.

One Indictment Found
By the Grand Jury
Continued fOm Paqe !


The divorce case of Tylea NJ.
Williams against Leroy A. Will
liams was heard Thursday after
noon. The evidence was to the eff
feet that the parties to this suit
were married at the brides home
In South Ryegate, March "a, 1918,
when the bride was Is years of
age. The groom was a travelling
acrobat and contortionist, and
the wedding had come at the end
of a short acquaintance. After
their marriage they had followed
the rod for few weeks and had
then gone to the home of Will
liams' parents in Bridgeport, Conn.
Things there did not go to Mrs.
Williams liking and after short
stay there she returned to her
former home in South Ryegate,
where she has since resided. A
son was born January "a, 1920.
Williams has never done anything
in support of mis- family and his
whereabouts are not known. A
bill is asked for on the ground OF
desertion. The petitioners at
torney was Charles H. Hosford of
Woodsville.
The Lyndonville cases of Stan
lev and Rennie against Stafford
have been entered on the records
of tn ecourt as having been settled
and discontinued.
The only case left on the regu-
lar jury calendar is the Wheelock
bastardy case of Lila c. Miles
against Fri F. Leavitt, which was
heard earlier IN the term and the
jury disagreed. This case is set for
a retrial July 5, and the petit jur-
ors are excused until that time.

 IF PROHIBITION
Says Revenue from Enforcing Law Should Many Times
 Pay Appropriation

PHILADELPHIA. Apr 10. - Rev. enues from the national prohibition act should pay many times over for the $10.00O,000 appropriated for the enforcement Of the dry laws during the coming year, prohibition Commis- sioner Haynes declared in an address tonight before the law enforcement meeting.
 Tt would be interesting to the peo- pie to know" he said "that if we were to collect the fines. penalties and special tax imposed upoD YiolRt- OTIS of the law in the first six months of this administration. they would more than pay two and one-half times the estimated cost Of enforcing the prohibition law for the next year. These enormolis figures dos not in clude nearly $3.000.000 in bonds that are being forfeited to the government or $2.000. .OOO that have been offered in compromise by 2l of the large vio- lators of the law. and do not incluGe the $6.000O00 in differential or pro- hibitive tax that have been referred to previously" ~
 Haynes declared that after 10 months of renewed effort to restrict good liquor into legitimate channels, the result ifs perhaps as near to achievement as possible"
 Asserting that there was a propa- ganda to create the impression that the prohibition law was non-operative Haynes said:
 Tt is significant that at the time when liquor is the most difficult to obtain in all our history; when drunk enness has decreased to a very appre. ciable degree; when convictions for 'the violation of the law are becom- ing most numerous, that at such time the largest amount e space is given in some of our newspapers to articles mostly flimsy of fact. which set forth the idea that prohibition is a faii- ure'"
