The New Lights

The new lighting system for the streets
of Morrisville is now in use, although the
work has not been completed. The new
600 candle power lights, which displaced
the old arc lights on Main and Portland
street are most satisfactory, lighting he
business section of this village in man
ner that elicits compliments from all
quarters. The number of lights in this
section has been doubled, but the new
system gives several times the amount of
light as the old arcs. There is still con-
siderable work to be done on the side
streets
The new dynamo at the electric light
plant is installed and doing the regular
work. This new addition to the plant
makes Morrisville's municipal property
among the most up-to-date and complete

Best Year in Twenty-Five

In these days of rumors of hard times
it is pleasant to catch the spirit of opti
mism which radiates from some OF Nor.
risvlle's business places. We quote from
an advertisement of one of Morrisville's
best known and most successful business
men-A. L. Cheney-which appears in
this issue:-"You may be interested to
know that YOU have helped me to the
largest volume of business in the year
just past of any of the twenty-five years
of my business, and l want to thank
you. will do my best, as in the past,
to please you and merit continuance
of these pleasant relations"
Twenty-Five years of successful busi-
ness with the last the best of all is reason
for optimism and appreciation. MIR.
Cheney's business success did not Just
happen, however, but is the result OF
plenty of hard work aud application to
business.

Morrisville Water Conditions

In many sections of Vermont, includ.
ing RuSland and Burlington, the Short
age of wafer has caused serious hard
ship, especially where the streams are
depended upon for power purposes
Lack of the usual fall rains following a
dry summer, is given as the reason for
the drouth With cold weather at hand
no relief can be expected as freezing tenn.
perature makes the flow of water in the
feed streams in the mountains smaller
and smaller.
In Morrisville, Supt. Slayton of tie
Water and Light department states that
there is plenty of water in the reservoirs
for present use, but great care should be
taken by users of the village supply,
that there is no waste, as it may be some
time before the supply will be increased.
II is a significant fact that Morrisville
is in no danger OF shortage for power
purposes. Besides running all local in
dustries and lights, the village of Stowe
and the Stowe Waterbury railroad, there
is still water running over the dam.

She Has "SOme" Pitchers

Mrs. Those. Cheney received, among
her most pfzed presents this year, a sub
stantial addition to her collection of
pitchers. The gifts were from friends in
many different sections of the country,
coming from as far south as Texas, as
far west as Portland, Oregon, and as far
north as Sleeman, Ontario. They includ-
ed many rare specimens, some being In
dian designs, one being from Austria.
This is especially rare, as the pottery
where this particular design was made
has been burned, which makes il improb-
able that more of the same kind can ever
be secured. This brings the number OF
Mrs. Cheney's remarkable collection up
to 1000 pitchers.

broadened so as to include the entire range
OF Mexican affairs-not alone the critical
issue between the United States and the
Huerta regime, but also the conflict between
the elements of northern and southern
Mexico, which have rent the republic fol-
many months.
The signal enlargement of the mediation
program followed the receipt of formal
acceptance by Gen. Caranza, chief of the
constitutionalist forces. of the principle OF
mediation, as proposed by the Ambassador
from Brazil and the Ministers from Areen.
tina and Chile
Already the United States and General
Huerta had formally accepted the good
Offices of the South American ENJOYS, and
now. as further step. Gen. Carranza has
been brought into the deliberations so as
to draw every element and faction within
the range Of any settlement which may be
attained.
The mediators make another decisive
move in asking the United States and Gen
Huerta to agree to an armistice by which
all aggressive military movements would
be suspended pending the outcome of the
negotiations. The mediators confidently
expect both sides to accept the armistice
proposal.
