CAMP GOV. HARTNESS, Aug.
14-Sunday was busy one for
the 172nd Infantry at Camp Gov
ernor Hartness, as it was visitors
day and the boys have been on
their mettle to show the home
folks what kind of soldiers they
were making. At an early hour
in the forenoon cars began to ar
rive, and from then until after

camp has been thronged with a
crowd of eager, inquiring home
folk, anxious to see just how their
own particular boys and friends
were adapting themselves to the
routine of camp life, and to OBJ
serve with interest, the never-tire-
some sight of soldiers at work and
play.
The boys have all entered into
the spirit Of the occasion, and
from A. Buck up, a no more order

LIQUOR IS WELL
NAMED FIRE WATER

CALIXlCO, Calf, Aug.
15-The government today
proved the wisdom of "Poor
Lo", in naming liquor fire
water centuries ago, in an oc-
currence today when Federal
officers conhscated 100 gallons
of contraband goods.
The customs officials order
ed the liquor emptied into the
gutter in the usual way when
the mercury registered 12O in
the shade. When the liquor
struck the pavement, already
heated by he suns rays, it
burst into flames. The Off
GERS then moved to another
location and started pouring
the stuff into the gutter.
Again it burst into flames and
one of the cases exploded.

Radio Concerts
in North Kirby

Not every one carries their radio
outfit with them on their vacation
but Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Sulloway
of Burlington brought theirs, con-
nected it in North Kirby and en-
tertained the farmers for miles
around with concerts in Chicago,
New York, Montreal and other
big centers. Sitting comfortably in
the pleasant farm home of William
Kelley, not from old Burke Noun
tain, many had their first expert
ence with the wonders of the radio
graph.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sulloway came
over from Burlington last week
and after a few days here with Mr..
Sideways mother, Mrs. Elizabeth
Sulloway of summer street, they
continued their vacation, accom-
panied by Mrs. Sulloway, at the
home of her nephew, William Kel-
ley in North Kirby. The wireless
was connected and for a week the
neighbors forgot all about daylight
saving and early rising for work in
the hay fields, devoting long even
ings to the finest of concerts.
Mr.. Sulloway is something of a
radio expert and has had wire
less in his Burlington home for
two years. He found the atmos-
spher in Kirby well suited to the
radiograph and the transmission
especially good. Beginning at $50
the concerts continued every even
ing until II and programs were
picked up from New York, New
Jersey cities, Montreal, Chicago,
Boston and many other places.

THREATENING FIRE
AT MAPLEWOOD HOTEL

BETHLEHEM, Aug. 15-Over
200 guests Were routed from their
rooms in the Maplewood Hotel at
an early hour yesterday morning.
Many of the guests fled to the
street in scant attire. The blaze
started in the kitchen, which is in
court off the building and rapid
ly burst through the room, for a
time threatening to destroy the
whole hotel, 4 frame structure.
1t was only due to no wind and
the combined efforts of three Fire
Departments, Maplewood, Bethle-
hem and Littleton, that the flames
were eXtingushed and the guests
persuaded to return to their
rooms.
The orchestra helped quiet the
panic by rendering selections in
the lobby Of the hotel. The dam
age is unknown.

LOUIS N. SMYTHE
CANDIDATE FOR
REPRESENTATIVE
Would Represent St
JOhnsbury in Vermont
Legislature

Louis N. Smythe, the we'll
known Railroad street merchant,
has announced his candidacy for
town representative on the Repub-
lican ticket at the coming Septem-
Der primary election. His petition
to that effect will be filed with the
town clerk in due time.
Mr.. Smythe came to st. Johns
bury 32 years ago and went into
the mercantile business. He
quickly identified himself with the
progressive business interests of
the town and has always worked
for bigger and better ST. Johns
bury. He has often been asked
to become a candidate for one of
flee or another in the gift of the
people, but has always refused to
haver-his name considered. He
has never asked or consented to
became a candidate for public of
fee until now, but has finally de-
cided to yield to the solicitation of
his friends to become a candidate
for town representative, assuring
those who may support him for
that office thai, if elected, he
will do his best to look out for the
best interests of st. Johnsbury at
Montpelier
Town Clerk, Charles G. Braley'G
name has often been mentioned in
| this connection, and Monday some
| of his friends circulated a petition
asking him to run and presented il
to him Monday night. While ar
preciating the evident cordial good
feeling back Of the act and the
compliment implied in the proffer
of support, Mr.. Braley refused
to favor the proposition and asked
that his decision in regard to the
matter be considered final Mr.
Braley said he would be glad to
support Mr.. Smythe, believing he
would be good man for the
place.
A few days ago this paper ask
ed the question, "Who's your
candidate for town representative
and suggested the importance of
choosing the best man for the
place. That question has been
satisfactorily answered by Mr.
Smythe's action.
For town representative, Louis
N. Smythe. If he is elected to the
legislature, St. Johnsbury voters
can rest assured that their inter-
ests will be well served.

NEWPORT GOLF
LINKS PROVIDE
IDEAL SPORT
Weekly Tournament Held
At Country Club Is
Success

The first of the series of week
ly tournaments at the Newport
, Country Club golf links on Satur-
day developed some good play
ing and real sport. The day was
ideal, the grounds are improving
all the time and the devotees of
the game are going the way OF
all lovers of golf, spending every
spare hour in practice. One staid
captain of finance was heard Civ
ing this advice to busy friend,
"I tell you, if business interferes
with your game, give up business" "
Every one who has visited the
golf course is enthusiastic in
praise of its possibilities. Much
has already been accomplished,
but there is also much more to do,
and, of course, it will be some time
before the grounds reach the state
OF perfection aimed at.
The natural lay of the land, and
the layout of the holes make it a
sporty course. There is no cross
playing, and the interest never
flags. Those who have seen the
various links IN our vicinity de-
clare that the Newport course is
by far the sportiest and will, when
completed, be the best one any
where about this section.
In addition 10 the pleasure
which the club members get from
having a first class golf course, it
must be remembered that it is the
great game today, and many play
ers feel that they do not want to
go away for 4 vacation to a place
