The party caucuses to nominate
candidates for town Offices will be
held Friday night, but so far there
appears very little interest In the
coming town election. The death of
c. II. Houghton leaves a vacancy on
the board of selectmen which must
be filed. For the past five years the
town has had non-partisan board
made up of two Republicans and one
Democrat and this board has given
the town a good administration and
at the same time has made more pro-
gress in reducing the town debt than
before in thirty years. For this rea-
son the Banner would like TO see par
tisan politics put aside and nomi-
nation made solely on the merits OF
the man. Naturally the nomination
should 60 to North Bennington and
that end Of the town has plenty OF
good material. The man we have
heard most often suggested Is An.
drew ]. Nash and we see no reason
why all persons and parties could moi
support him. The lister whose term
expires this year is Elmer F. Rock
wood and there seems to DO no objec
ton to his reelection. He has done
good service in the past and is in q
position to give all his time to the
work.

These VaIuables Touch Lowest Chic
ago Price Of Three Years

Chicago, Feb 15.-The withdrawal
of cold storage eggs from the market
Monday was followed by the ar
nouncement that further decline of
two cents a dozen in the price Of the
fresh product. The reduction brought
the cost Of the best selected eggs to
l6 cents a dozen, the lowest price
touched by eggs in the Chicago ioar-
ket in three years.
A break of five to six cents doz-
en- in the price of eggs during the
last week brought these valuables 10
the lowest level touched in February
in many years. Extra eggs closed
at u cents a dozen, while seconds
brought only eight to ten cents. Last
September, following the long period
of drought suffered by the country
eggs came forward in excessive guam
titles and dealers placed them in cold
storage in order to keep prices from
declining At that time they believ
ed that the heavy movement from
poultry farms would not be of Ions
duration and that they would have a
little difficulty in clearing holdings
at profit later In the year.

baseless. delivered a lecture on the
stage OF Hammersteins Manhattan

this claim. lie was received with

DR.. Cook spoke at length. his time
on the stage being heightened by the
storms OF catcalls and Kisses which
interrupted him at intervals. At his
conclusion he stated his belief that
"our children's children will give me
fair verdict" He explained his ap-

he had no money TO hire hall and
was delivering his lecture gratis in
exchange for the opportunity OF ad
dressing the public. This statement
seemed to still further provoke the
skeptical ones in the audience.
