Yesterdays baseball game was de-
layed about an hour by the sharpest
thunder storm Of the season, following
such gale as is seldom experienced
here. Few people were sanguine enough
to believe that first class baseball
game nine innings long could be played
on field that had such drenching.
But the field seemed nearly as good as
ever, after few bags Of sawdust had
been spread around the bases, another
evidence Of its being about the best
baseball field in Vermont.
The local team gave another fine ex-
hibition Of the national game. the men
playing almost errorless ball behind
the fine battery work of Lavere and
King The visitors also played well and
good fielding plays on both sides evoked
enthusiasm.
Bethel won in the first inning, when
with one out Noble was hit by the
pitcher and stole second, Stafford dou-
bled, scoring Noble, Barnes singled,
scoring Stafford, took second when the
ball reached the plate long after Stat
ford, third on Aikens' infield out and
scored on Dryers error when Marcus

We owe the whiteness Of our sugar

A hen had just scrambled through

into sugar house. A worker chased
it out, but not before it had left sew

When the clay was wiped of, it was
found that the sugar was consider

and in few months many large firms
were using a wet clay process for the
bleaching and refining OF sugar.

He drew figures on a sheet of glass

FOES OF ENGLISH SPARR0WS
Pacific Coast SeaguIIs Drive Them
Away From Wharves and
Docks.

Seattle.-The Pacific coast seagull
conducts an eternal warfare against
the English sparrow, and because of
ID keeps wharves and docks free Of
the noise and litter so predominant
around sparrows' households.
Observers declare some older sulls
act as sentinels and when a sparrow
alights on wharf roof several i'm.
mediately chase 1t away.
On one occasion recently lone
sparrow flew seaward followed by half
a dozen gulls, who kept the tiny bird
so holly pursued 1t fell into the water
exhausted.
Wharf operators are grateful to the
gulls for this bit of police work, as
English sparrows once inhabiting the
rafters and overhead work inside the
docks would produce an amazing
amount of litter to fall into freight
and express shipments. A large amount
Of grain is wasted every day on docks
which would attract and feed myrlads
Of sparrows but for the watchful eye
Of the seagulls.
1t Is believed the gulls show the an
tagonistic spirit toward the smaller
birds because they fear competition
In the salvaging from the sea of their
daily food.

A. 7. & T. STOCK NOW
OFFERED TO PUBLIC
c. & P...Manager Tells Why Stock
Should Be Widely Held
By The Public.

Mr.. H. w. Carly, OF. Salisbury,
manager of the C. & P. Telephone
Company of the Eastern Shore, in
commenting on the campaign to sell
American Telephone & Telegraph
stock, which is now in progress, has
issued the following statement:
The Maryland public is largely a
telephone using public. Telephone sub
scribers are interested in the service
hey receive. The greater their know
ledge of telephone systems and SER
vice, the more effective becomes their
use of it. The telephone subscriber
v no buys A. T. & T. stock becomes a
part owner in the telephone system
which serves him. 1t thus increases
his interest in the company and the
service which the company provides,
and promotes more definite rela-
tlonship. The company is anxious to
serve the public to the fullest extent
possible and believes that with a
closer relationship existing to its pa
irons in the form of their part own
ofship in the system, mutually sat
isfactory condition will be created.
No community can prosper and
grow without progressive telephone
service. The public has then very d.
rect interest in the telephone system
Their interest will be fostered by a
part ownership of that system, and
the purchase Of stock by subscribers
will tend to insure their service and a
fair return on the investment, making
both permanent, and thereby work to
better conditions from civic stand
point.
The company is, however, anxious
to make friends and. it believes that
here is no better way to make
friends than by giving good service
ard securing a wide distribution Of
its capital stock; in short, making the
public it serves, that is, the users OF
The telephones, owners of the system

SOLDIERS BONUS BILL
FILED LAST TUESDAY
Maryland Boys Who Served In
World War May Yet
Receive Bonus.

A bonus for Maryland's $4,000
former service men was proposed in q
bill introduced in the Senate Tuesday
at annapolis. The measure, it is said,
provides for payment of $40 month
for duration of service, with Or per
:cnt. added for all those who were IN
ACTUAL combat.
The question, however, will be r.
fcrred to the voters by referendum. In
this manner only the measure is
said TO differ from that defeated y.
Tie last session of the Legislature.
Nine million dollars will be requir-
ed, it is estimated, to defray the bonus
cost. 1t is proposed to meet this
throuh the issuance of State bonds,
4 direct or indirect tax. Four methods
Of raising this revenue are offered i'll
the measure as it stands
It is felt chat the bill, with ref
ercidum attached will pass both
.louses without question. Bonus SEN
timant is said to be strong in tn,
House and the Senate IS reported fl.
yorable.
The Bonus bill was prepared by
the legislative committee of the A
merican Legion, composed of Herbert
=. Crymes, chairman; Warren S,
Lloyd and Henry Edlavich.

terests service men is one providing

Kills Bio Bear.

Saranac Lake, N. Y.-Charles Riv-
ers of Glen Valley, while deer hunting
in the Black Brook section, had a
thrilling experience when he killed the
largest bear on record in that section
of the AdlrOndacks since the days Of
the pioneers. When creeping along a
low ledge in the Wilderness the hunt
er suddenly came upon the bear. He
did not seriously injure the beast with
hasty shot and was instantly charged
by it. In attempting to get better
shooting position, the hunter fell from
the ledge and dropped his rifle. The
bear scrambled down the ledge and
was almost upon his foe, when Riv-
ers recovered his rifle.

AUSTRIA DUAL CROWN OLDEST
First Part of Dadem offered by Pope
in Year 1000; Second in
1912.

London.-The crown of Hungary Is
undoubtedly worth the struggle made
by former Emperor Charles of Austria
Hungary to obtain it, being one Of
the most ancient and most curious of
the royal diadems now in existence. 1t
is made up of two parts. The first
crown was offered by the pope to Duke
Stephen in the year 1000; the second
was given by the Emperor Michael
to Duke Geisa in 1912.
This latter crown bore curious in
scription which spoke of the duke as
the king of the Turks. Duke Geisa
had the two diadems welded together.
The dual crown was stolen in 1949 In
the course of the rising when Kossuth
endeavored to obtain the independence
of his country.
