Saturdays Football Results.

| Tie scores were the rule in the more i'm
portant football contests of Saturday.
Harvard and Annapolis played to
game, the former being fortunate to score
against the unusually strong navy eleven.
The Carlisle Indians made six points to
Pennsylvania six, while Princeton and
Syracuse played an to game. Yale
had snap with Washington and Jeffer.
son, winning 80 to 0. Thus far Yale is the
only one of the so-called big teams that
has not been scored upon. Dartmouth
defeated Holy Cross Is to 5, showing
which was not wholly satisfactory to the
Hanover boys, but Williams scored 40
points against the Amherst "Aggies" and
was consequently pleased. Colgate held
West Point to six points, Lafayette beat
Brown to 8, Amherst and Trinity played
a to tie and Cornell defeated Univer
sity of Vermont 0 to 0. The Nermonters
rightfully feel pleased over this low score,
especially in view of their ability to hold
the lthacans on the two-yard line, The
Dartmouth freshmen defeated Vermont
academy to 0. Dartmouth will meet
Amherst on the formers field tomorrow
and number of Brattleboro people will
probably attend the game. A week later
Dartmouth goes up against Princeton in
New York. Williams will play in SYRIA

For the first time in the history of
Americas great motoring classic, The Van

Cow Test Associations Formed.

The state board of agriculture has en-.
gagged Helmar Rabild, expert in dairying,
of the United States department of agri-
culture, to spend few weeks in Vermont
in the matter of organizing COW test asso-
Citations. He spent the week Of October
1924 in Lamolle county. Five hundred
cows are pledged in the vicinity of Nor
risville and the organization meeting oc-
cured Tuesday evening, Oct. q, at that
place. Nearly half that number were
pledged in Stowe and doubtless by this
time sufficient number will be pledged to
form an association in Stowe. Mr.. Rabild
goes to point near White River juno
ton this next week to form another or
ganization. The merit of the COW testing
has been thoroughly discussed
in the public press and elsewhere during
he last two or three years and this active
ought to result in the establish
ment of several of these organizations in
various sections Of the state. Parties that
are interested in this matter should at
once write to Prof. J. l.. Hills, Morrill,
hall, Burlington, VT, and, if there seems
likelihood that an organization will re-
suit, Mr.. Rabild will be sent into their

Rev. G. b. Lawson,
Our dear pastor:
Six years ago we were pastorless. Many
of us then knew you slightly and thought
you were the man to lead us and call
was extended. You accepted and came
feel and know the wisdom of our choice.
Your ready sympathy with us in things
material as well as spiritual, your entering
into our joys as well as our sorrows, your
coming to us in health as well as in sick
ness, your ministering TO us in all ways
known to man has made the relation be
tween pastor and people veritable bond
of love.
You have ever held up the cross OF
Christ, both in and out OF the pulpit, In
such pleasant, attractive way that those
who were His disciples when you came
here have been greatly strengthened, and
brought into the fold, while only the
Heavenly Father knows the amount of
seed you have sown that some day will
spring up and bring an abundant harvest.
While we congratulate Vermont acad-
envy on having secured you as its princi-
pal and while we wish you every success
in your new work, we would not be hui
man did we not feel our loss, and regret
that it has seemed wisest to sever the
relations so pleasant to us all.
We shall follow you in our prayers and
your success will ever be source of JOY
and pride to us.
As followers of Christ we extend to you
true love and devotion and trust that
v Il ha
store for you and yours.
Your devoted people,

A SHORTAGE OF ICE.
Crystal Springs Company Obliged to
Import Product to Supply Demands.

In Brattleboro and several of the larger
towns in this section the curtallment OF
the supply of ice has formed serious
topic Of discussion among both retail and
wholesale dealers in meats, provisions and
produce. At the office of the Crystal
Springs Ice company it was stated to The
Reformer that local dealers need not feel
apprehensive that their ice supply would
be cut off, although it was not denied that
at the present time the local crop Of last
season had been almost entirely consumed.
This almost unknown contingency IS
new situation for many of the dealers
the local crop being usually sufficient for
all local needs. But the past t,o year has haI
been bad one for the ice dealer as well
spoiled lee on their hands through lack of
patronage, for the, season has beer, been one one

supply carefully husbanded has not been
sufficient to supply the full needs of TIE

IS the exceedingly hot and dry summer
