Saturday morning a truck carrying
a granite monument from Burlington
to be erected in the village cemetery
in making the hill in the cemetery
stalled the engine and the brakes
not holding, it ran back down the

side of the driveway tore down the
gate and one length of fence which
checked the speed enough so that the
operator was able to throw in the
clutch and get control again and stop
the truck from going over the bank
into the highway.

10. O. F. GATHER AT BARTON
Held Large and Enthusiastic District
Meeting Last Week.

The annual meeting of Odd Fellows
of District No. held at Barton
Wednesday evening was one of the
most successful in years and drew
large attendance. While only four
lodges comprise the district, there
were representatives of the order
from sixteen differnt lodges which
together with the Grand Lodge Of
ficers and guests from the Canadian
jurisdiction made the meeting not
able one.
At >6:3O sharp the dining room
doors were thrown open and up to
eight o'clock more than 125 members
of the order, including late arrivals
enjoyed "a most delightful and neatly
served supper served by Sunbeam
Rebekah Lodge. Several young
ladies from the Barton High School
attended to the wants of the guests
in a most pleasing manner, some OF
which must have been prospective in
surance customers of the Metropoli-
tan Insurance Co. by the numerous
dishes of ice cream handed to it's
cluded mashed potato and peas, cold
ham, beets, pickles, rolls, macaroni
cheese, ice cream, cake and coffee.
E. E. Jenne, d. d. G.. NJ, presided
over the business session and was
due for many compliments later in
the evening for the success of the
affair as also was Crescent Lodge,
No. al, for the cordial spirit and
royal welcome extended their guests.
At 500 o'clock the meeting was
called to order and duly opened by
Crescent Lodge officers and the Grand
Lodge officers were introduced, Civ
en- the Lodge honors and short re-
cess declared that every member
might clasp their hand in Friend
ship, Love and Truth. DR.. j. A.
Pearson P. G. of Crescent Lodge of
Barton, most cordially welcomed the
visitors. He said in opening that
such an address might require an
hours time and mean little or it
might require only few minutes and
mean much. The doctor chose the
latter and most royalty extended the
hand of welcome in the spirit of Odd
Fellowship, in Friendship, Love and
Truth. He said that the teachings of
the order were much broader than the
lodge room and the spirit of the order
could be made a great community up
lift if properly used, that every mem
Der has an influence for good or bad
III IHe community IN winch ne lives.
If any one had experienced any cold
wave early in the evening the speak
er in words fired the opening gun
that made things warm and genial
after. H. F. Young, P. G. and mem
Der of Evening Star No. 81, New
port. gave the response and did not
let the doctor put anything over on
him and fully convinced him that the
guests were glad to be present and
appreciated the hearty hand shake
and words of welcome they had re-
ceived. He suggested that more get
together's like the one that evening
would be beneficial and endorsed the
practice of more visitations. With
good roads and the automobiles and
several lodges within a few miles
radius much benefit would come to
members and the home lodge by such
practice.
In the absence Of L. B. Jones of Is
land Pond. P. d. D. G. M, the res
ponse for the lodges was assigned to
Rev. w. C. Johnson of Derby who
did high credit to the privilege. In

Larry Gardner
 Is Benched By Old 'tPop'' Time

Larry Gardner, one of the fin est third basemen in fast com pany, no longer Is 8 Cleveland regular. Iris Speaker has replac- ed him with Riggs Stephenson whose powerful batting and ex- cellent fielding have strengthened the faltering Indians beyond question of doubt. Gardner is S6 years old and since last sum- mer he has been slowly but sure ly losing his speed. He was a student at the University of Yer mont in 1907 when the Boston Red Sox engaged him. He was sent to the Lynn Club of the New England League in 1908 to gain needed experience and a year later he returned to the Bean-eat- CTS.
 Gardner played 118 games at second base for the Red Sox In 1910 and batted .2sS. He became the regular third baseman in 1911 and rolled up a hitting av- craze of .2s4. He remained with the Red Sox until the end of 1917 letics with whom he played 127 games in 1918. Connie Mack then sent him to the Clevelands in a player swap, Speaker get ting the better of the transaction inasmuch as Gardner batted 300 in 1919 and .S1o in 1e2o. Last year the veteran third basenan averaged .319 in 15a games but he was outfielded in that position by Shanks, Baker, Mulligan. Du- gan and Ellerbe.
