EASTER SUNDAY CLEAR
Blanket of Snow Covered Ground
 Monday Morning

While Easter Sunday was fair it was not an ideal Easter day. There was wind blowing that suggested snow, but few people expected to see the ground white the following morn- ing, as was the case. The churches were all well attended, both morning and evening. Special services had been arranged at both Protestant and Catholic churches, and children were given prominent parts in most of the programs.
 Early risers Monday morning saw white blanket covering the earth. 1t brought to mind an Easter Sunday of a few years ago when 1t was necessary to get out the snow shovel and shovel paths before church time. While there was but fraction of an inch of snow in Putnam, in tine surrounding outlying sections more than an inch was reported, and to the north several inches feii during Sunday night. The sun came up in cloudless sky, Mon day morning, and the snow was not long lived.
 It was fortunate that the little snow storm was held up for few hours. There was nothing to spoil the Easter finery as the storm just missed the day when new spring clothes make their debut. For this many people were thankful.

MAY COMPLETE GRAND TRUNK
Plans on Foot to Finish Road Started
 Some Years Ago

Another of the many rumors Of the past is that the Grand Trunk South ern New England railroad project is at last to be carried through. The construction work on the piece of road from Palmer. Mass, to tidewater in Providence suddenly stopped some years ago after miles of roadbed had been constructed and S7 900, ,000 ex- pended. The roadbed has become grass grown and more or less dilapi- dated.
 Now comes a plan for completing the railroad, which passes through Southbridge and Webster on it's way to the Rhode Island capital. Rhode Island bankers have under consideration a proposal to raise $6.- 900. .000. The proposal was made by Sir Henry Thornton, president of the Canadian National Railways. The Central Railroad of Vermont has agreed to raise s2.000. 900. Approxi- mately ss.00o.000 is needed. Sir Henry said
 With the prospect of completing the line in sight, plans are under way to have the Rhode Island Legislature renew the roads charter for another year.
 Sir Henry told the bankers that the Canadian government. because of a policy of economy, was unable to further the project.

COOPERATION OF STATES
 IN MOTOR VEHICLE MATTERS

4 proposal for the establishment either in Connecticut or New York oi < central conference office for the tran saction of the interlocking business of the motor vehicle departments of twelve Eastern states, the District of Columbia and two Canadian provinces is embodied in the biennial report of the state motor vehicle department of Connecticut. The jurisdictions that would be represented in such an office ere Maine. New Hampshire. Vermont, Massachusetts. Rhode Island, Connec- ticut, New York. New Jersey, Penn sylvania. Maryland, Delaware, Vir- ginia. Washington. D. C., and the Can adian provinces of Ontario and Que bee. These constitute the membership cf the Eastern Conference of Motor Vehicle Administrators.
 "Such an office would also be of the greatest possible value to tourists and would constitute a ready clearing house for all questions upon which there is a difference between states" says the report, "and eventually would save each member state or the citizens of each state large sums of money, through speedy determination of questions which now have to go to court"

"BACDAD" SURPRISES
 ALL OTHER FILMS

Douglas Fairbanks glorious fam tasy of The Arabian Nights. "The Thief of Bagdad," will be the attrac- tion at the Bradley Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. This photoplay, accord ing to all accounts, surpasses any thing heretofore seen on the screen. This extraordinary picture has upset the equilibrium of the critics in every city in which it has been presented. 1t Is the creseendo photoplay. It is n fantastical story of love and adven- ture, laid in an imaginary world of fancy. aboaudif1R with amazing hap penings, and what critics generally have called unbelievable wonders. If you still believe in love, if adventure still stirs you, if you like your heart to miss beats in ecstatic moments of ex- citing suspense, if you enjoy the sur prise of seeing things that heretofore you thought were impossible--here in 1.-The Thief of Bagdad" are all these things, in the background of beauty and splendor. In this picture, q Winged Horse flies up Go and through the clouds. A Magic Carpet scars over the housetops and into the sky; wonder after wonder, surprise after surprise, are here revealed in amax- ing abundance. To depict such hap penings on the screen has never been considered within the bounds of possi- bility. This -crowping achievement has been accomplished by Douglas Fairbanks. It has received the high est endorsements that any picture has ever received. In this particular, Il will be we'll to repeat what Robert l.. Sherwood wrote in his department iH "The Silent Drama" in Life" April !. 1924. After seeing The Thief of Bagdad,' 1 am more competent to un- derstand the motives which inspired the sturdy Britons who have been struggling for years to reach the peak of Nit. Everest. 1 know now what 1t means to be able to say, Well, I've been to the top.' Standing al the point marked by this Arabian Nights enter tainment which Douglas Fairbanks has fashioned, I can look down to the lesser summits of Robin Hood. Broken Blossoms Passion and the rest, several miles below. and barely diseernible from this dizzy altitude. lie Where Is My Wandering Boy To- night Rags to Riches,' and The Old Nest There may well be higher peaks than that achieved by The Thief of Bagdad'; but if there are, they have not as yet been chartered on any of the existing contour maps"

FEW FOLKS HAVE
 GRAY HAIR NOW Druggist Says Ladies Are Using Recipe of Sage Tea and
 Sulphur

Hair that loses it's color and instre, or when it fades. turns gray, dull and lifeiess, is caused by lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful. and thousands of women and men who value sl,af even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so at tractiye, use only this old-fimc recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix frss improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of aWyefh's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" which darkens the hair SO naturally. so evenly, that no- body can possibly tell it has been ap- piled. You just dampcn a sponge or soft brush ~ith t and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand al . time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what deIights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that. besides beautifully dsrkening the hair after few spplicz- sions. d also brings back the gIoas and lustre and gives 1t an appearance of abuhdanec.

family Of eight children. She is
the only one who survives.
When she was ten years old she
came with her family by way Of
the Great Lakes to Milwaukee. On
the way she saw train of cars for
the first time which was the most
notable event Of the long journey.
From Milwaukee, the family travel
ed by team to Whitewater where
they spent some time with rela-
tives.
In 1847 they came to Baraboo,
bringing with them generous sup
plies of flour, sugar, and other
groceries for at that time flour
and feed mills and grocery stores
were many miles apart.
Mrs. Wing remembers that the
city" at that time consisted of a
saw mill and three "shanties" as
the early houses were called, all
of which were on the south side
For a time her family lived in part
of the mill but later settled on a
farm in Greenfield. Here on
Christmas Day, 1856, she was mar
ried Her new home was on anoth-
er Greenfield farm where she re-
sided until her husbands health
failed. A little more than twenty
| years ago they moved to town and
here she still resides. She keeps
her own home, and extends the old
time hospitality to all who visit
her.
