PLAN FOR BIG

AT NEWPORT
Committee Will Launch
Drive for Members
Soon

1t is now reasonably certain
that the hopes of some of the
sports enthusiasts will be realized
and that Newport is to have an
organization which has been sadly
lacking in the 4ast. An Outing
Club which will combine both
summer and winter sports and
promote a love for the out-of-
doors providing nealthful amuse-
ment for both young and old
would be one of the most valu-
able organizations of the city.
Committees to plan for the var
ious activities, snowshoeing, skat-
ing, skiing and tobogganing in the
winter, with tennis, canoeing,
and a bathing beach in the sum
mer a membership of 500 or more
should not be difficult to attain.
Another step was taken last
night towards definite plan for
winter sports in Newport this sea-

LUNENBURG
STORE IN FINE
new QUARTERS
Has Served Citizens of
Village for Half
Century

Franklin Bell and Son at South
Lunenburg take possession Of
their splendid new store this week,
having outgrown their old quar-
terS which have served the citizens
of the town with provisions for
half a century.
The year 1878 was a notable one
in South Lunenburg, for two
things-the coming of the ST.
Johnsbury and Lake Champlain
division of the Portland and Ore
gon railroad and the establish
ment of the Franklin Bell store.
The old store building as it nov
stands opposite Riverside farm
house was built in 1874, much of
the freight being hauled from
Concord, then the end of the rail
road, and from Lancaster, N. H.,
by teams.
The basement rested on the
meadows near the Connecticut
river, and here meats and perish
able goods were kept, the first
floor standing pat with the main
road and a second story being
used for ready made clothing as
the business increased. In 1900
Adino N. Bell was made partner
and the firm name changed to
Franklin Bell and Son" this name
being retained up to the present
date.
The store was twice flooded by
high water on the Connecticut and
threatened a third time 50 that
goods from the basement were
hurriedly transferred to the main
floor, the Bells all working till the
early morning hours to make all
safe. Today the old store still
stands as staunch as when first
built, to all appearances, though
its founder the late Franklin Bell,
was laid to rest nine years ago at
the good old age of 50. The Bell
family have lived in South Lunen-
burg for 81 years, the sons, w. X.
of Bellview Farm, Adino n. of The
Birches, Julian who now owns
the homestead, Riverside Farm,
and Miss Annette Bell, who cared
for her parents during their lives
and now resides at Wanaton
Lodge, and James, of the farm of

INSTRUCTION FOR
INCOME TAXPAY ERS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-Ihe
internal revenue bureau has made
plans to extend further aid to
federal taxpayers this year in an
effort to reduce the number of er-
rors which annually have crept
into the income tax returns of the
millions who help pay the way of
the government. Schools of in
struction for deputy collectors and
attaches of revenue collectors
throughout the country in an eff
fort to secure perfection. The rev
enue bureau believes the method
of training will result in reducing
the amount of re-checking and de-
lay necessitated by misunderstand-
ing of the forms which the taxpay-
erS must file.
Forms for the preparation of
the returns soon will be in the
hands of collectors throughout the
country, in an effort to speed up
the filing of the returns which
must be delivered to the collectors
by March 10.

time since he has been in the GUS

to realize the gravity of his penal
ty.
"When the Judge gave me ten
years, | nearly went through the

Worcester auto bandit, said This
morning as he was preparing for
his long trip to Windsor to serve
his time at hard labor. Shackled,
Mills was guarded by High Sheriff

Sheriff Adelbert Smith.

Mills continued.
The boy auto bandit was placed
on board a southbound train at
8.15 this morning for the rs mile
trip which will bring him to Ver-

George Mills, neatly dressed,
looked a picture of health. He
was loud In ms praise OF the fine
treatment he has received here at

Both Mills and Greene were
rather down cast when deputy
sheriff Smith led them irto the
station this morning. Both tried
to hide themselves from the gaze
of the curious crowd that gathered
around as soon as they saw the
two men shackled together. Mills
was the least perturbed of the two,
probably because he knew none of

AUTO DAMAGE
LAWSUIT IN
COUNTY COURT
DR.. III. c. StetsOn Seeking
Recovery of Parker
Young Co.

A Jury was drawn Monday af-
ternoon in the case of Henry g.
Stetson of St. Johnsbury against
the Parker Young company. The
suit was brought to recover dam
ages alleged to have been sustain
ed by DR.. Stetson's Buick automo-
bile when it was hit by the de-
PENDANTS heavy truck near Fol
SONS Crossing on the road from
Lyndonville to East Burke on
December 2, 1920.
DR.. StetSon is represented by
Searles and Graves. Gen. John G.
Sargent and H. G. Leavens of
Ludlow are attorneys for the de-
fense. Col. Herbert Moulton of
Lisbon, N. H., president of the
Parker Young company represents
the defendant company at the
trial.
This is a companion case of that
brought by Mrs. Hattie Stetson of
st. Johnsbury at a former term of
court when the plaintiff was
awarded verdict for personal
damages. The same evidence is of
course introduced in the present
case that was made prominent in
the former trial.
The opening statement of coun-
sci for the plaintiff intimated that
the evidence would tend to show
that Dr.. StetSon and his mother,
Mrs. Hattie Stetson, were return
ing from Philo Lang's home two
miles above Lyndonville, on the
East Burke road, December 2,
1920 when between the crossing
and lower bridge at Folsom's S
crossing they were run into by a
heavy truck belonging to the de-
fendant company. Mrs. Stetson
was thrown out and badly hurt
and the car was considerably dam
aged. The car cost $3.50, and was
worth nearly that amount, but as
result of the accident was de-
preciated to few hundred dollars.
The accident ana the resulting
damage, the plaintiff alleges, was
due to the negligence of the driver
of the defendants truck and the
suit is to recover.
The first witness was Philo
Lang of Lyndonville, where DR..
Stetson had been professionally on
the day of the accident. He learn
ed of the accident soon after it
occurred, and wen to the scene
and took Mrs. Stetson home in his
car. He described the neighbor-
hood of the accident and the situa-
ton of the cars when he was there.

Confidence In
The Advertiser

THE banker tells us that
the good advertiser is safe
borrower" That as a risk he
ranks among the best, pro
vided both his merchandise
and his advertising bear the
stamp of quality.
Among the thousands Of dol
lars loaned daily much of II
goes to the manufacturer and
retailer-the men who make
and sell the thousand and one
articles and services that 60 to
make life worth while in this
hurly burly world of ours.
The question arises: why
do these business men borrow
large sums with conhdence?"
The answer is simple:
Through persistent and con
sistent advertising they have
created in the buying public
a demand for a certain auto
m 0bile, a definite denufrlce,
food, boots and shoes, ETC.
etc.
Such men are judges Of the
future by the past. They
know what advertising
has done for others and they
know it will do the same for
them perhaps on an increasing
scale, due TO the fact that the
public itself is placing more
confidence in the printed ap-
peal.
