Letter from Mrs. R. W. McClure Shaowu, Fukien, China, June 2, 1918. Dear Folks at Home: Some time has elapsed since last we wrote, but ohn is the excuse.

Since his arrival on April 20th I fear we have spent more time admiring him than we have writing letters. He is a strong, healthy baby and is gaining steadily. I think he will get a good start before the extremely hot weather comes. This coming week we have our first annual mission meeting as a separate mission. Shaowu was founded over forty years ago as an out station of the Foochow mission and for the first few years was worked by missionaries from Foochow who came up here for three or four months during the winter.

Dr. Walker, who celebrated hi3 74th birthday recently, and who is one of the ten missionaries of the American Board who have been in China for forty years or over, was among the first to bring his family to Shaowu to live. He has seen the Shaowu field develope from its beginning in untouched heathenism up to the present time, when it has fifteen foreign missionaries, a hundred native workers, thirty-four organized churches, two dispensaries and hospitals, two boarding schools, a theological training school, a training school for women workers, and numerous day schools and preaching stations. The fact that Dr. Walker has had the rare privilege of seeing the work which he begun grow into a mission by itself is a' testimony to his faithful and untiring service to the cause of Christ in China through all these years.

This spring the prudential committee sanctioned the request of the missionaries to set aside Shaowu as a separate mission. This was done because of our comparatively long distance from Foochow, our difference in dialect, and our increase in the staff of resident missionaries. And I may say that we are planning as soon as finances, will permit and a doctor can be found, to open an outstation of our own in the southern part of our field. It is my hope that as soon as the war is over the many physicians who have been serving humanity so nobly on the battlefields of Europe will not be content to settle down to the meagre sphere of influence which their home practices afford, but will choose rather to fare forth to some of these far corners of the earth where they are so sorely needed. On last Saturday afternoon we tried a rather interesting experiment.

Mr. McClure had been drilling the boys in his advanced English class on a dramatization of the story of Nehemiah. He decided to have them present it in public, and as a new departure to ask the English class of the girls' school to give some numbers on the same program. Between them they gave a very creditable program of hymns, recitations and essays. You know that under the Chinese ideas of propriety, boys and girls are like the Jews and Samari tans of old, and have no social inter course whatever.

Of course as Western standards are slowly introduced they will come to demand the privileges of our Western freedom. It is our duty to tit them for the new conditions, and to teach them how boys and girls may have good times together. A beginning was made at this time by asking the boys to serve refreshments to their guests. When the time came they need ed considerable urging before they could so far forget their manly dignity or boyish bashfulness (I don't know which) as to serve the girls. The girls remained on one side of the room and the boys on the other.

Neither group paid the slightest attention to the other. However, we are content for the present, with the comparative success of the experiment. (To be continued) NORTH TUNBRIDGE A. P. Osborne returned to his work in Hanover last week, after two weeks' off on account of ill health.

Greene and wife of Granville, Dr. L. M. Greene and wife of Bethel, Rev. L.

L. Greene and wife of Churchville, N. Dr. O. D.

Greene and wife of Hancock, Clifford, Republicans; Robert Noble, Democrat. Mr. Gillette was born in Rochester in 1874 and came to Bethel in his youth when his father, the late Austin F. Gillette, moved to Bethel. He is a successful farmer.

He married Belle, daughter of F. H. Chamberlin. The only public office that he has held is that of cemetery commissioner, to which he was elected in 1914 and which office he yet holds. Cicero George Clifford was born in Hinesburg, Jan.

11,. 1886, and is a pharmacist by profession. He first came to Bethel as clerk in the drug store of Victor Grant and he subsequently bought out Mr. Grant. He married Miss Mabel Brown of Burlington.

He married Miss Cherry Brown of Gaysville. He has been prominent in town affairs, having been selectman in 1898, 1899, 1900, 1901, 1908, 1909 and 1910.

Bethel's War Stamp Quota Vermont has jumped from thirty-fifth place to the twelfth place in the amount of War. Savings Stamps purchased since the beginning of their sale last December and our State leads the country in the purchase of these stamps for the month of July. Vermont is shown to have total sales and pledges in the ratio of 81 of the entire year's quota. It now devolves upon each and every one of us to see that our pledges are kept and increased where possible so that when this war is over our State will stand before the country as one that has met every demand made upon it in the service of our country.

As for Bethel, our deficit of about $11,000 as last reported has been reduced to a little over $5,000 in pledges and purchases. This is due to unpledged purchases and increased pledges of those who have come to realize better the value of these stamps as an investment for their savings of either large or small amounts. There is now little doubt thatif we fulfill and increase our pledges and purchases that our quota will be raised. Let us all do our duty by our country in the matter of these stamps and incidentally make it interesting for Cashier Davis to handle this or more that Uncle Sam will owe this com munity when these stamps become due.

C. Rockwell's "Sunny South" company, an organization numbering about twenty-five colored people, is announced to appear in the Town hall, Bethel, Monday evening, Sept. 2. This is conceded to be one of the strongest combinations of colored talent ever sent on tour. It is entirely different from nearly all other colored shows, inasmuch as it is clean to a fault and during the entire performance there is not a line, an action nor an insinuation to which exception can be taken.

The fun which will be handed over the footlights is all new and needs no arrow to point the way to the laughs. It is bristling with new, novel and entertaining features and it is brim full of laughable situations, charming musical numbers and clever vaudeville stunts, together with clean and amusing comedy. Mr. Rockwell claims to have the newest, freshest, most artistic and thoroughly equipped colored show touring the country. He backs his claim and arrests public attention T)y presenting a musical performance that has more original ideas and up-to-the-minute novelties than any similar organization.

It is characteristic throughout, being a mixture of fun, melody and dancing, consisting of all the features peculiar to the negro in Dixie Land, presented by negroes of the cultured and educated class, free from vulgarity, without any objectional features, at the same time sparkling with wit and good It is claimed by the man- agement that the music is all new and i original, most of it being of that 1 NATIONAL WHITE RIVER BANK, Bethel Local Intelligence.
