He was taken ill Saturday and although having a well developed case his physician has it well in hand and at the present writing does not consider Mr. Ray in a serious condition.

Vermont young men, both those' who have had army service and those who have not, have the opportunity offered them of enlisting in Uncle Sam's big new army with all the advantages which the "University in Khaki" will offer, and still be near their friends and relatives during a part and possibly their entire enlistment. They may do this by enlisting now at Fort Ethan Allen and they can have their choice of four or five excellent branches of the service, including the Infantry Quartermaster Corps, Medical Depart ment, Signal Corps and Motor Trans port Corps. Sergt. Ray Buckley, of New Haven, told an interesting story of the battle of the Marne to the moving picture audience at Town hall Thursday evening. The most interesting teature of the story was that it was first hand stuff.

There is proof enough that Sergt. Buckley was there and he took everything the Huns handed out. He brought back 82 wounds from shrapnel and four from machine gun bullets. Although somewhat crippled he is still very much alive and riducules the Hun's efforts to break the Doughboy's spirit. He said that although the Germans shot the life out of of many good American did not have ammunition enough to shoot the smile off their face.

Many of them were found dead, but invariably with theie face toward Germany and'the smile still on. That was e. nice reception korded to Ernest Ayer and his friendin Kutland last Saturday evening. Mr. Ayor says that he and his friend, a young man from Forestdale by the name of LaFrance, were coming from a garage on Willow street and while still on Willow street met a party of four men.

As they came opposite and were passing, without any words, any warning or excuse, one of then struck Agey a vicious blow in the face and knocking him senseless. At the same moment another of the party struck LaFrance in the back of the head sending him to his knees. Ayer must have been struck with some weapon as his face was cut and bruised to the bone, and pobabilities are that 1 he will carry the scar the rest of his days. Ayer is a respectable and peacable young man. He was born in Brandon and has always lived and never had trouble with any man, A rather peculiar feature if the affair is that La France declares that a policeman nabbed one of the gang, but later let him go.

It this is true of course Mr. Ayer can learn the icentity of the parties and bring suit for damages. THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH Rev. Walter Thorpe, Pastor. Sunday, June 11:00 Preaching service.

Sermon by the Pastor. No evening service. Mid- week service as usual. FOLEYSKIDNEY CURE Makes Kidneys and Bladder Right JOSEPH B. KELLEY Joseph Kelley died at bis home on Franklyn street last Wednesday evening, the immediate cause of his death being heart failure.

Mr. Kelley was in the 85th year of his age and although not in robust health, had been attending to his business at his shop for the last 15 years. He was perhaps the oldest business man in Brandon having been in business here for more than 50 years. Mr. Kelley was a man of sterling qualities and was esteemed and respected by this comunity.

He was a of the civil war and a member of C. J. Ormsbee post, G. A. R.

COMING ATTRACTIONS The Park Theatre Co. offer its patrons the following list of carefully selected teatures for the coming week. Tomorrow night (Saturday) we have selected Justus Foreman's popular novel "Buchanan's Wife" produced by William Fox and featuring that beautiful and dareing actress Virginia Pearson.

This is a highly dramatic and powerful story of a living, passionate, love-hungry woman's battle for happiness and the man of her choice. A more tremendous, more compelling tale of human life has never been srceened than this masterly story. Also one of those Big special comedies. Tuesday night June 10 the long lost Douglas Fairbanks will surely be here in his famous play "'The Man from Painted. Post." Never before has such a collection of notable cow-boys appeared in a motion picture as is displayed in this pieture.

All the cow-boys appearing in this picture are winners of championships in roping, riding, shooting and other Western sports In addition to these experts are seven of the most fiery bucking bronchost used in the recent Frontier Meet at Cheyenne, Wyo. All of which promises some excitement for those who will view popular Douglas' new photoplay. On Thursday night we are delighted to announce that beautiful Enid Bennet, the popular T. H. Ince Paramount star, will appear in her newest photoplay, "The Marriage Ring." Miss Bennett is seen in this charming photoplay as the wife of a crook who rebels against her environment and flees to Hawaii where she finds love and happiness in a series of unusual situations as dramatic as they are heart appealing.

This is a splendid picture and we recomend it to your favorable atten tion. On Friday, our special fuature night, Geraldine Farrar will be seen in her late triumph "The Devil Stone, playing a widely dissimilar role from her last two appearances. "The woman God Forgot" and "Joan the Woman" took precedence as two of the greatest spectacles conceived in motion photography, while "The Devil Stone" presents: a dramaric plot of tremendous intensity. This picture is produced by the celebrated director Cecil DeMille which is a guaranof its extraordinary nature. AUTOMOBILE THEIVES AT WORK Tuesday evening Jim Newton, of Sudbury, parked his Ford car in the open space near the Congrgational church and when he went for it a couple of hours ter it had disappeared.

A burried seareh and persistent inquiry failed to produce a trace of the car and Mr Newton was forced to believe that automodile thieves instead of jov-riders were responsible for its disaspearance. Newton said that because of a slight leakage' he had shut off the gas when he parked the car and that what gasoline was in the tubes would be all that was available to run the car. He said the amount in the tubes might run the car possibly a mile and after that the thieves would be forced either to the car or to stop and look it over and find that the gas was, shut off. Somebody suggested that the' thieves were probably joy. riders and that the chances were good of finding then at the dance at Lake finally Newton started for that resort.

And he found his car- but not at Lake Dunmore. About midnight someone found the car on Union St.near the bridge the Neshobe where it had been abandoned. It may have been joy-riders that borrowed the car, but the indication are that the parties who took it intended to steal it and had it been in running order it would have been out of Rutlrnd county before daylight. Parties saw the car go down Uaion St. at a fast clip and without lights about 9 o'clock.

One evening last week a lady left her car beside the Town Hall headed north while she attened the picture show. When she went for her car it was headed south and gas used to drive the car 25 miles had been used. This was no doubt joy.riders but everything in connection with this later affair looks like automo bile theives. FIVE THOUSAND IN CAST Theda Bara is coming to Park theatre on Wednesday June 25 soon in a massive. production of "Salome." The play is based on the chronicles of Josephus, the Jewish historian, who relates in detail how the daughter of Herodias so charmed King Herod with her errie dancing that he promised her anything she might ask, even to the half of his kingdom.

With Mr. Fox the great dramatic spectacle was much a labor of love, and "Salome," with faithful reproductions of Old Judea, drew on his financial resources without reserve or hindrance.

Wilson Tutting Department Store Brandon, Vt. 42 Per Cent The rate of Interest to be paid Depositors from the current period of six months ending July 1, 1919, by the WINOOSKI SAVINGS BANK Fifty Years of Successful Business No. 11 Winooski Block Winooski, Vermont sand players were engaged for the super picture. Eight hundred artisans alone were employed in building a reproduction city of Jerusalem, one of several replicas on a grand scale. Aside from Miss Bara's costumes, ten thousand other costumes were required to clothe the army of performers.

Some idea of the expense in staging "Salome" may be gained from these items: Two hundred loads of sand were hauled from the beaches to the streets of Jerusalem; twenty five tons of plaster and as loads of cobblestones were used. A many hundred sculptors and mural decorators were kept busy during the erection of the settings. THE ELECTRIC SPARK IN AUTOMOBILES For the proper 1 running of an automobile it has long been known that an electrical discharge suffices to ignite an explosive mixture, but it is not known in what the process of ignition really consists. An electrical discharge there certainly must be -a discharge, gives energy to the space between the points of the sparking plugs. To cause the maximum of power a considerable difference of electrical pressure must be produced between the points(called electrodes).

Some amount of discharge always occurs between any pair of electrodes however great may be their distances apart, provided there is a difference of electrical pressure between them, but the amount of involved in the discharge only be. energy comes important when either the distance between the points is small or the electrical pressure great. It is a fallacy to imagine that any kind of electrical spark is good enough so long as the engine runs at all. A weak spark fails to ignite all the molecules of the fuel and an odor at the exhaust is proof that unconsumed gas is being thrown off. With incomplete combustion the engine becomes sluggish, the electro.

des get sooted, and carbon quickly forms on the piston head. The hottest kind of a spark is necessary to ignite and completely consume the innumerable globules of variable size a nd and quality drawn into the cylinder by the suction of the piston during an infinitesimal fraction of a second. Without complete combustion a considerable por-1 tion of the fuel is wasted and the power of the engine greatly lessened. More gasoline can be wasted than is used. The hot-spark of a magneto prevents all this.

With magneto ignition i it is unnecessary to bother about the distance between the spark plug points. Electric troubles cease. Mispiaced Confidence. Confidence in an unfaithful man time of trouble is like a broken tooth and a foot out of be Detomon, 35:19. Cocoa A Good Cocoa in bulk at 25c lb.

MORE MONEY FOR TOMATOES Larger Crops and Better Quality Make Bigner Profits. Good tomato crops are profitable. Average crops pay the grower little more than day wages.

The grower who is successful uses methods that insure large yields and high In a few sections, average yields do not exceed two tons, yet in New Jersey on farms delivering to a single cannery, there was a total of more than 3,000 acres where the growers last year averaged about seven tons per acre. Twenty-five per cent of this area yielded between 10 and 12. tons to the acre. A number of middle Western growers have averaged over 20 tons to the acre. Large yield, quality and big profits go hand in hand.

Humus the Life of the Soil. Soils containing plenty of organic matter will start tomato plants more quickly, cultivate more easily, and carry the plant through a period of drought more certainly than will those lacking humus. Field observation establishes the fact that many tomato growers have allowed the organic matter of the soil to become exhausted, and many low yields can be laid to this cause. Most Eastern tomato growers can now get little or no manure. Many Western growers are having the same trouble.

Many depend largely upon commercial fertilizers. An abundant supply of suitable available plant food is essential to most: profitable yields. Without sufficient food the plant does not possess strength to resist disease, and the vines fail in the middle of the season, unable to ripen the large crop which they may have set. The plant-food supply determines the size and quality of the yield. Dust en the Family Bible.

Rev. Patrick Bradley, preaching apen the prevalent neglect of the Mble, said: "Whilst walked through the different of my congregation, I have 100 little made of the sacred volume which contains our right and title to a happy immortality. Many plead that they cannot have the bible always in their bands. True, but in many cases I And family bibles lying 80 unused that, with my Anger, I could write damnatien upon the covers of them! these things ought not to.
