STORY OF A FISHING SIGN
Windhsm Mans Poor Selling Saves
Him From Prosecution

II you had gone to all the trouble of
having a nice, neat sign painted to
the effect that people we're not TO fish
in your brook. and then the town auth
critics had ordered that sign taken
down merely because you had not
stocked the brook with fish first,
wouldn't you be just little wrought
up? And then If you had acquiesced
to said authorities and had another
sign printed, just as neat and just AS
nice. to the effect that the public
might fish in your brook all they
pleased. and the same local authort-
les not only ordered that sign taken
down. too, but also tried to bring you
up in court for it, wouldn't you be
real. roaring. snorting mad?
That is what happened to G.. r.
Carleton Of Windham. Mr.. Carleton
is farmer who owns a brook. or at
least part Of one. for IL flows through
his territory. AS there was plenty of
fish in the brook. Mr.. Carleton saw
no reason why he should not have
the fishing to himself. and posted a
notice saying so. but the selectmen
and the constable and a few other
people in the town said him nay and
decreed that he take il down. Agree
able in all things Mr.. Carleton obey
ed, but his waster effort riled him up
considerably
He thought over the episode and dc
tormined at last that II he couldn't
have the fishing to himself. he would
give everybody a chance. So he turn
ed the sign over and printed another.
which read. Fish & be dam. Worms
back OF barn & boy to help dig" But
the authorities we're implacable
They took offense at the wording OF
the sign and attempted 10 prosecute
Carleton on the grounds OF posting a
profane notice. But Cartoons poor
spelling saved him and the notice
was declared not profane.

been filed TO be voted for. This list
is made up from all the various ele-
ments of the party and will support
the local candidates, Edmond La
Franchise for senator, Frederick God
frey for sheriff and Edward C. Ben
nett for probate judge.
With fusion of the Democrats
and Progressives the Republicans will
need to put up as strong ticket as
view of those who were instrumental
in fling the delegate ticket for to-
night The list of delegates and al
ternates filed is as follows:

oLD-TlMERs READY
Willing to Meet North Bennington on

The following communication from
Manager Hall OF the Old Mems club,
has been handed the official baseball
reporter for censorship, and is here
with approved for publication.
The War is over, in Europe the
Germans right wing is said to be
broken, but they are still able to fly.
The Old Timers who are not full
blooded Germans anyway, are still on
the job and if the North Bennington
ties will issue their challenge, to these
old rheumatic have beens they can be
assured of as warm a reception as
their feeble state of health and the
weather will permit. The diplomatic
note from Mr. Hall follows:
THE Old-Timers were assured of a
challenge from North Bennington. in
the event of victory. In fact, this as
surance was what spurred them on 10
conquest But why the hiatus. No
challenge seems forthcoming? Can
1t be that some unforeseen streak Of
yellow exists along the line of the
Phillips myrmidons? Or perchance
do they feel that the cool weather
ice their chance of success.

THE PRICE OF APPLES
The Boston Chamber OF Commerce
Takes Hand

You ought to pay S5 cents peck
TO- the best--not fancy-applos. This
is the conclusion of the Boston cham
Der of commerce after an investiga-
tion OF one of the strongest apple
years this section has ever known.
In brief. the apple crop is a record
breaker. the European demand is
largely cut off, and most of the deal
ers are trying to charge what they
were a year ago.
The chamber has now in long
statement come ont squarely as a
critic OF the present attitude of the
retailer II says that by charging
not more than 80 cents peck the
dealer will get good. reasonable
profit AT this price" says the re-
port, the domestic demand for APP
pies ought to increase greatly-per-
haps even enough to offset the de.
creasing foreign demand resulting
from the war"
The chamber in going onto the
question has figured that the produc-
err makes so cents barrel profit on
apples costing the retailer 81 a bar
rel. and that this year II will hardly
pay the producer to market anything
but No. l apples. as defined by the
United States law.
To sum up, the chamber says:
The retailer can without injury to
himself lower his price, and while
he may seem at first glance to lose
something in large profits. he will
more than make up for this seeming
loss by reasonable profits or total in
creased sales. Boston Post.

cisco Villa today declared that he did
not agree with Gen. Zapata in desir-
ing to leave the American troops at
Vera Cruz for the present to avoid
the port being occupied by Carranze
troops. Gen. Villa telegraphed the
Associated Press from La Mancha Co

81 manifest that my desires always
have been that the Mexican people
arrange all their troubles by them
selves and that consequently ! aih not
in accord with the protest Of Ger. Ia

All that Mexicans want is that their

Gen. Carranza asks Gen. Villa S
chiefs to demand the retirement of
their leader as commander OF be
northern division of the army in view
OF his (Carranza's) willingness to re-
tire in favor If the army so votes.
