HAMLET IMPERsoNATloN
John F. Howerd 10 Present Drama
Hero April 26.

John F. Howard, who will present
Hamlet at High school hall on We'd
nesday, April &c, under TIE auspices
of the high school students associ-
alton, comes to Bennington very well
recommended.
To state that Mr.. Howard is one
OF the greatest dramatic readers Of
the age is simply stating plain
truth. He electrihes his audience
with his fire and his artistic climates,
but still there is nothing overdone.
He unfolds each succeeding action
and notion in the great tragedy OF
Hamlet with dramatic intensity and
fascinating power. He seems to be
one of the men Of genius especially
gifted to interpret and place before
the people in their clearest aud best
light ne thoughts OF those who stand
highest among human beings.
Mr. Howard's Interpretation Of the
characters of Hamlet will live in the
memories OF the members of the au'
dience for many a day.

PIPE PURCHASED TO
INCREASE WATER SUPPLY
comml ssioners Have Decided to Re-
place Present Line From Springs
TO Reservoir.
to Reservoir.

The board of water commissioners.
at special meeting Friday evening,
decided to purchase 19,5O0 feet OF
10 inch class B cast iron bell spigot
pipe Of the K. d. Wood company OF
T:ll'adelphia at a cost Of $3.50 foot,
The purchase is made in accord
ance with instructions adopted at the
last annual village meeting.
Alter making thorough investigat.
ion and obtaining the information
frcm other communities and from en-.
fineers, the water commissioners
lave decided to replace the present
s sx-incd feed pipe with pipe OF ten
inches. There are a number OF rea.
sons for the adoption OF this plan.
Among them is the elimination OF
the danger OF freezing, the concen-
tration of all supply in one line that
can be laid at continuous grade and
an incrase OF pressure where needed.
The six.inc1 pipe which will be re-
moved when the new line is built
will constitute a large asset. The
material is valuable and can all be
used in extension OF the system into
certain sections OF the village and at
Old Bennington.

THE HAYEK RECITAL
Enjoyable Musical Entertainment at
High School Hall

Many Bennington people TO whom
good music appeals enjoyed treat
lat night at high school hall when
Frank Hayek, a baritone soloist, and
Conrad Forsberg his accompanist,
appeared in a song recital which was
given under the auspices Of the Fort
nightly club
From the opening prologue from
Pagliacci TO the end of the program
their musical artistry was almost per-
feet
Mr. Forsbergs Interpretation was
fine, his technique really remarkable,
and his accompaniments were in alb
solute sympathy with the singer. The
voice Of the one and the notes OF the
other blended together like beautiful
colors.
MIR. Hayek beside giving the espe.
cially fine and varied program, sang
several selections that we're requested
by his audience. All of these were re.
ceiyed with marked appreciation and
enthusiasm.
/ Lat the Fortnight'y was able to
secure such talent for local music
lovers, Is credit to those in charge
There are but few people who do not
have a chord in their makeup which
responds to the beauties OF harmoni
GUS sound and to those who have a
still keener sense, music of the kind
given last night, stirs the emotions to
/ higher and better things, as nothing
/ e.se can do.

Fruit Trees Apparently Escaped

Cherry, Plum and Pears May

1t seems to be the general concen-
sus Of opinion among local orchard

treme cold snap of last night and
Thursday did not do any serious dam
age to fruit trees in this section al.
though authentic reports say that
the thermometer registered as low
as % degrees above zero in several
places this morning before sunrise.
II the tender and well advanced
buds Of the cherry, pear and plum
trees have escaped injury, question
time alone can answer with certain.
ty, the margin of safety was danger.
ously small and local fruit growers
and farmers have good reason to be
thankful for the accompanying high
winds and the general dampness, an
enemy to the work OF frost, which
has prevailed more or less the past
two weeks.
Other fruit trees, apples for in
stance, we're comparatively safe, for
the reason that the buds are not ad
yauced beyond the stage Were the
winter jackets continue to provide
protection.
The weather the early part of the
month was prematurely wa-m. n

better than 80 degrees in the sun.
Trees, grass, perennials, berry bush 9s
and the like were oyertaken but t'ey

kind OF weather had lasted day or
so longer the past few days would
have specceld ruin TO early fruit
fruit crops. The weather changed to
cold blustery, snowy spells, typical
OF Marc5l rather than April. The
change came on by degrees but the
buds on all species OF growing things
called a general halt keeping their
little bright charges in Their winter
capes so that the life of flower and
fruit became Injured and gradually
prepared for low temperatures

FAIRBANKS AS D'ARTAeAN
Screen Version Of Dumas Great Novel
at Opera House,


Among the large number in attend

there were undoubtedly many readers
Of the works of the great French nov
eiist. Alexander Dumas, peer, VINO
we're deslrous of learning what a
scenerio writer would do to such a
novel as "The Three Musketeers.' -
When "Tho End" was flashed upon
the scene the Dumas students present
must have concluded that the story
had been followed much more closely
than in the majority of adaptations,
regardless of the difficulties that had
to be overcome.
Fairbanks de ineation of I've char
acter Of D'Artagan, the crafty aagres'
siye Gascon who eventually became
one OF the kings musketeers by de
feating the Vaccinations of Cardinal
Richel.eu. was revelation of those
who had come to look upon Fairbanks
as n performer of stunts. The stunts
were there but there was also char
acter portrayal that closely followed
the lines of the novel
The reproduction OF scenes in Paris
during the reign Of Louis XIII were
elaborated with that finish In the mat
ter OF detail which makes many pic
lures extremely interesting even tC
thoseswho are not particularly drawr
to the story itself
in order to create the happy endmt
required for all moving pictures Il wai
necessary to eliminate the most-strik
ing tragedy Of the novel, the poison
iag of Constance, seamstress to tht
queen, Anne of Austria, by Milady d,
Winter, but the depression in no re
spect interfered with the enioymen

When colds settle upon the lungs it
is an indication Of lung weakness
which needs immediate attention. A
hung cold, IL neglected, may easily be-
come lung congestion and from that
to pneumonia is but a step. Fatalities
from pneumonia run very high, ex-
cept where chiropractor is called at
the first incepto on of the case.
The chiropractor finds an area OF
nerve tenderness in cases where the
lungs are involved around the third
dorsaI vertebra, which is between the
shoulders. Quite often the nerve
tracing shows this nerve tenderness
over one. or both sides of the lungs.
Usually the chiropractic spinal adjust.
ments are given not only at the third
dorsal, but at stomach, liver and kid
ney place also. as when these organs
are of normal activity, they help to
dispose Of the wastes with which the
body is charged, and which would
otherwise add to the burden of the dis
eased lungs.

American Legion Notes.

Potomac Post, No. 81, celebrated its
second year as post of ex-Service
World War veterans by throwing open
its doors to all who wished to enjoy
the comforts of the post. The manage
ment bought a handsome victrola and
bunch of snappy records, so that there
was hardly moment that the strains
Of "Down in Arkansas" were not heard
issuing from the Legion windows
However, before the holidays the man
agemcnt of the Legion had the room
partitioned off, making two snug and
coy rooms. The pool table had been
gotten in order, and with plenty of
reading material on hand, more than
one fellow was heard to say, "Well
that's not bad" In fact, we have
come to the conclusion that he was
about right. The American Legion
is wonderful organization and we
have some wonderful times, and if you
are not member of our local post, now
is the time to sign up and keep the good
thing going.
We had a part in the community
Christmas tree, too-helped put il up,
etc. We also got in touch with Santa
Claus at the last minute and had him
stop off on his way through, and he de-
lighted the Riddles with the oranges
that he brought along for this special
occasion. If nothing happens to pre-
vent, we will have him with us next
year, SO that he may be able to get
a better insight of the youngsters of
this vicinity. The American Legion,

one happy and prosperous new year
