TOWNSEND
NOW In FIGHT
FOR CONGRESS
SeIbyviIIe Republicans Name
to Go Before State
Convention
PROGRESSIVES SAID TO
Be FOR HIM, TOO

Announcement was made today that
Colonel John G. Townsend, Jr.. Of
Selbyville, Sussex county, has con
sented to the use of his name for the
Republican nomination for Represen-
tative in Congress. Mr.. Townsend has
been mentioned repeatedly i'm connec-
tion with the Congressional nomina-
tiOn Today It was stated that Colo
mel Townsends name will be present
ed in the State Convention in Dover
on August 20, and II was predicted
that it will cause the defeat of Con-
gresham William II. Heald for re-
nomination.
A close friend of Colonel Townsend
today said he was authorized to state
that Mr.. Townsend will enter the
fight as a Progressive Republican and
is willing to accept the nomination. II
is believed that if he is given the
Congressional nomination in the Re
publican State convention he also will
be nominated by the Progressive
State Convention. Colonel Townsend
was one Of the original Roosevelt men
in Delaware. and long before the Ma
tional convention he came out openly
for Roosevelt, thus differing from
many other prominent Republicans
down the State who were for Presi-
den.. Taft. Colonel Townsend had
beef talked of fr one of the dele
gates to the National Convention,
but Il is said his Roosevelt tendencies
. were factor in him not being chosen.
II is known that some of tho Pro-
gressive party managers have been
considering Mr. Townsend for the
congressional nomination They are
unwilling to line up for Congressman
Heald for third term and it is said
they would be satisfied with Town
sends selection. Whether enough
delegates will support Townsend in
the Republican convention on Tues
day of next week remains to be seen
but it is likely that he could be nomi-
mated if the anti-Heald delegates
should line up for him and the nomi-
nation be thrown into open conven-
tion.
General T. Coleman dupont. il wa.
icart.ed today. prefers the nomination
of Townsend TO the nomination o.
Heald General dupont. who is 4
member Of the Republican Nationa
Committee supported Roosevelt IN
many of his contests before the com
mittee, and there has been som,
speculation as to how he would stant
on the Congressional nomination. Cen
eral dupont when asked about the sit
uation today said he is of the opinion
ihat Mr.. Townsend would be a strong

A Cheap Fertilizer For Oats

Farmers having a light, sandy soil, or
whose farms are a fair loan but which
have been exhausted by long-continued
cropping without much fertilizer, will
find it still possible to raise fair crops by
the use of Fertilizing Salt. This kind of
fertilizer appears to give especially good
results on Oats. 1t not only makes the
straw sitter, consequently making the
crop less liable to lodge and rust, but also
keeps the ground moist and so insures
better catch when grass seed is sown
with the Oats.
A very desirable Salt for fertilizing pur-
noses is sold by c. S. Page, Hyde Park,
VT. 1t is more valuable than most cheap
salts. as it contains more or less refuse
matter which comes from the hides on
which it has been used. The price is only
81 so per ton, f. o. b. Hyde Park, and
the freights are moderate, especially on
12.ton carloads. He can make prompt
shipments and full particulars will be
given on request.

Sixteen Pennies Are One Foot

Although the women teachers of the
state do not advocate this rule in their
classes. their present aim outside the
schoolroom is to convince the public that
the measurement is correct. To this end
miles and miles of strips of paper, each
foot long and each capable of holding
sixteen bright and shining coppers, have
been prepared, the result o form nucleus
or working basis for a retirement fund
from the income OF which teachers who
have served the state in their high minded
calling for term of years not less than
twenty five" may receive a modest sti-
pend for the balance of their days.
We talk ermont for Vermonters. We
say keep the girls and boys at home.
Why not keep the teachers in Vermont
along with the boys and girls? What
better inducement than retirement fund
raised through public subscription, if not
appropriated by legislative enactment,
placing the educational system of the
State upon business basis and assuring
the faithful servant OF the rising genera
ton something of an adequate compen-
sation for her toll when her term of teach
ing strength shall be over?
Through the Retirement Fund Associa-
ton the teachers form body capable of
receiving funds. The penny strip scheme
is but one means TO the end in view. The
sixteen pennies are scarcely more than
the price of cigar and penny newspaper
or a few ice cream sodas. The teachers
have set this problem to the Vermont
public
"If there are six teen pennies to foot
and every foot is step nearer the better
Vermont, are you interested enough to
contribute and, if so, how many strips
will YOU take?" The answer is not to be
found in the back of the book. 1t rests
with the public to work it out for ITSELF"

DAMAGES for SpoiIed Beauty.

A curious judgment was given in a
German court the other day. A lit
tie girl of three who was placed in a
nursing institution had been bitten by
the yard dog, the bite leaving scar
on the cheek. The little ones guar
dian put in claim, not in respect of
the pain caused, but because the scar
had lessened her chances of securing
a husband when she became old
enough to marry. The court upheld
the guardians claim, and placed the
damages at $500.
