Good housewives consider cleanliness
and purity first OF all that's why Quaker
Oats is their choice among all oatmeals
In making Quaker Oats the grain is
sifted and resifted, passing through more
than fifty processes of cleaning before it
is cooked and rolled.
If you took handful of oats and
scrubbed and polished and wiped each
separate grain, it wouldn't then be nearly
as clean as Quaker Oats No human
hand ever touches a single grain of
Quaker Oats from the field to your
kitchen The best advice on foods you
could have is: Eat Quaker Oats every
morning for breakfast.
This wonderful food is sold in three
kinds of packages. The regular package
at 10c The large size family package
at 25c, and the large size family package

Dear Editor
Greatly approaching your pleasant ref.

Your friendly words especially interested
me for the reason that the Register cir
cu'ates in field knew so well when "A

Speaking of my tracks in the snow
calls to mind the days when | made
tracks in short cut from Paper Mill
Village" across the creek, up the hill
sides, through the edge of the Seymour
woods, to town. Queer and labored
tracks they were, with my crutches and
iron extension to the right foot.

passing years ago, and little remains but
memory Of the busy, thrifty little com
munity clustered about the covered
bridge where the Otter flows placidly on
and on between Weybridge and Middle
bury. AS "A matter of fact there was
more doing at that time, in the manu-
featuring line, at Paper Mill Village
than there was at Middlebury. A paper
mill made splendid print paper for Yer
mont and Northern New York papers; a
linseed oil mill produced the best oil ever
made. These two mills standing side by
side, few rods below the covered bridge
facing up stream, one partly ON the little
island and the other ON the main land,
with big plank platform over bulkhead
and tiumes, were owned and operated
for years by my grandfather, T. O'Flan.

Close by the paper mill was well
equipped wool carding mill operated by
William ID. Bell, farmer manufacturer.

wood working shop owned by Charles
Woodwork. The massive ornamental
wood posts that, years ago, outlined the
college grounds were turned in this shop

Perm anent Organizations.

At the Moosalamuo Clubs rooms on
Thursday evening of last week, a num-
Der of representative business men of
Middebury and vicinity, including sew
eral gentlemen from New Haven, Corn
wall, Bridport and Addison. discussion
was entered into which, if continued
and the various ideas brought out are
acted upon, will result in permanent i'm
provement of industrial conditions.
The presence and remarks of Manager
exhiblt-which will be made in connec-
ton with the Champlain celebration in
the early summer-inspired feeling of
new confidence with many of those
present: and from discussion as to the
ways and means of making an exhibit
from Middlebury at that time, the plan
was soon suggested by some of the lead
ing business men present that an organi-
cation could best carry out the designs.
From this further discussion it was seen
that the most feasible plan would be to
effect revival of the all but defunct
Middlebury Business Mems association,
which had in the past started with high
ideals and noble resolves, only to lag at
the first few reversals.
The association was reformed and
officers were chosen. The rules govern
ing the old body were adopted
