Don't fail to help yourself and also
help the American Legion Post by
securing your season tickets for the
Lyceum course and if you want re-,
served seats exchange your admis-
sion ticket at Pierce's Friday. There
will be no auction or drawing of
seats this year-first come first serv-
ed.
The first number in the course is
Monday evening, December IL, and
the talent is the Embers quartet. This
quartet comes from Los Angeles, Cal,
and is a noted Pacific coast male quar-
tet with their own accompanist.
The other numbers come on Janu-
ary "a, February 21 and March 22.
Except for the fact that the Le-
gion has taken hold of the Lyceum
course Barton would not have had
one this year and they risk consider
able money in putting it on, the cost
of the course being something like
5000. Let us show our appreciation
by supporting the course. If it fails
to pay it's way this year the prospects
will not be bright for course next
year.
In connection with these notes it
will interest many to learn of the
early lecture courses in Barton. A
prospectus of the first course, in 1894
95, was recently shown the editor and
the organization of the Lecture
Course association is noted with M. F.
Prime, president; III. F. Ryther, j. N.
Webster and G.. HI. Blake, executive
committee. Four out of the six num-
bers in the first course were lectures
and the price of the course ticket was
$1.5O plus the price paid at auction
for a selection of location.

Barton Academy Notes

Beginning Monday, December 4th,
the school children will sell Christ
mas seals. Last year Barton was one
of the banner towns and it is hoped
that this year may be another banner
year. This money is used in the
control and relief of tuberculosis. In
the past few years a decided increase
in the number of deathes from this
disease has been noted. In 1911 the
number was 413. In 1916 when the
Vermont tuberculosis Association
was formed the number was 384.
Since that time the number has drop
ped steadily except for the year 1918
until 1921 has the lowest number of
all, 239~ Will you help to keep the
number growing less?
There were 35 pupils in the high
school that we're neither tardy nor alb
sent during the first IL weeks of

Barton academy opened it's basket
ball season last Friday evening by
defeating Greensboro high 81 to 16,
before a large audience in Durkee's s
hall. Both teams played we'll, not
withstanding the fact that this was
their first game. The early minutes
of the game found the teams battling
evenly, but before the first half ended
Barton had located the basket and
had a commanding lead which they
held throughout the contest. The
feature of the game was the accurate
shooting of Capt Cornish and Lewis,
the former caging 13 baskets and
two foul throws, while the latter ac-
counted for II baskets. Thompson
and Batten played well for Green's
