MiOOLEBURY SOClE
Directory of the Social Organiza-
tions of the Village Clsssifi-
cation of Clubs snd
cocietieS


How many fraternal and social or
ganizations are there in Middlebury vii
lage? Most residents would say there
are a good many, but few know just
how many. Not many could tell when
the different ones were organized, the
number of their members, and the pur
poses for which they were formed. The
Register has secured a Directory of
Middlebury societies, as constituted at
present, classified into Civic, Fraternal
and Social, Religious, Literary, and
Musical, and will print the lists in this
and a subsequent issue.
1t is believed this Directory will prove
convenient for many purposes. 1t
should be informing and suggestive to
all who have the welfare of the town at
heart.
A glance at the list shows that the
civic organizations are fewer in number
and smaller in membership than the re-
ligious and fraterna societies. The
Board of Trade has only 55 members
and the Improvement Society Sc. The
latter organization has certainly accom-
plshed much for so small a member
ship The number in the Ladies Lib
rary Association is misleading, since
we have now what is virtually a public
library.
One of the fraternal organizations,
Union Lodge, F. & A. M, has had an
uninterrupted life of l2l years, since
1894, and is the second oldest lodge of
Masons in th4 State. Mt Calvary Com
mandery is the oldest Vermont body of
KnightsTemplars having been chartered
in 1924. Some of the younger fraternal
organizations show a vigorous member
ship
1t has been difficult to classify some
societies, as between fraternal and re-
ligious, since they serve both purposes
The list does not include East Middle
bury organizations, of which several
are hourshing. The Register would be
glad to extend its Directory to these if
any one will furnish the necessary da a.
No attempt has been made to list the
societies of the College.

C. F. Avery's Letter

Birmingham, october % Tho stubborn ness of the cotton market rather sur prised the reactionaries today. The Wal dorf crowd dumped their long cotton yesterday and by the looks of things 1t has gone into the hands or the big spot people. If this is true. 1t means a shift. ing of accounts from unreliable specula- tive hands into strong ones. The strength of the spot markets was tho real cause of the steadiness of Iu- lures.
 The weekend figures giving spinners' takings for the week at 327ooo vs. 24s, ,o0t last year and 41e,oOo the year before, look bullish to me
 There should be some evening up to- morrow preceding the publication of the census bureau report on ginning Mon. day. I look for the government to be around the National Ginners' estimate which said 5,7S5,O00 bales had been ginned up to October IS. What percentage of the total these figures represent is the main question. In 1909 for this period there was 5i.9 per cent ginned This crop more nearly approximates that year than any otker comparison we have. There are many shrewd observers who contend that greater percentage has been ginned this year than in 1909. The National Gin ners put out an estimate of 100000 bales for the total crop exclusive of linters.
 Regard the market as having had a thoroughscleaning out, and is in a better position for an advance than for some time.

SENSATIONAL GAINS

New York, October 22-Further sensa- ional gains in war shares and automo- pile issues. together with some irregular improvement in railroads, were the chief eattres of today's active market. Trad fPg was most heavy in the forenoon. nqre than half the days business be- Qns transacted in that period.

 Baldwin Locomotive was the most if,- pressive feature of the afternoon .ad- fancing 16% points to 149A, within a frac- ion of its record. The rise in this stock gave currency to fresh rumors of an industrial consolidation embracing that company with the newly organized Mid Hale Steel company and the Colorado Fuel and Great Northern Ore proper les The two last named were very ftive and strong. while Midvale approx mated its recent high price on the curb. United States Steel was a disappoint- hent. fuctuatng narrowly on a large verturn, but failing to come within half

SUPPLY OF FISH IS EQUAL ID DEMAND Only in Red Snapper Is Shortage NOted-Egg
 Prices Up

The fish market is getting more opti- mistic in tone. dealers declare, and sup ply bids fair to equal the demand within a few days-possibly by the opening of next weeks market, Only in red snap per is the shortage acute, dealers say. Of the latter fish. there is practically none, and the price is tending upward.
 Eggs. too. are on the upgrade, and an other advance was registered yesterday. the price going to 20 cents, which is the wholesale quotation. As Thanksgiving draws nearer, the price of eggs grows, and unless the supply this year develops much larger than it gives promise of being, the price will show heavy in- crease within the next week or 10 days.
 In the produce market the situation is practically unchanged. the only price change noted being in lines, which show drop of 20 cents on the 100. Dealers say the demand is excellent and expect a fine trade for the close today.

Portraits i'm Profile

From the St. Louis GlObe-DemOcrat.
 Tn 1739 the French King had for his finance minister a certain Etienne de Silhouette, whose chief recommends ton was that he did his best to re- duce the expenditure of what at all times was an extravagant court and administration.
 Such great things were expected of this. very ordinary man that even the fashions were designed to fit in with his humor. Goats were worn without pleats. hats without feathers, shoes without buckles and instead of por- trait painting there sprang up GUS tom of merely sketching profile and filling in the outline with a flat wash of Indian ink Such portraits were the plainest and least ornamental that could be imagined They were easy to make, and there was nothing In them, after all They were silhouettes.
 Before photography came Into vogue these silhouettes were the ordinary portraits of ordinary people. and many Q mantelpiece is still decorated with the little patch of black which repre- sehted the best attempt at correct likeness that our grandfathers could manage With the advent of photog- raphy light took the place of shadow, and the profile drawers found their occupation gone.

WEAKNESS ELI IN
 THE WHEAT MARKET
Liquidation Becomes Gen. eral-Corn Quotations
 Steady

Chicago, October 22.-Loosening of the hold which producers have maintained on the winter crop did a good deal today to bring about much lower prices in the wheat market here. The close was heavy, 1%G2c to Sc down, with December at sl.ools and May at sf.o24a1.o2ssc. Corn finished unchanged to Ae lower; oats 156l ssc off and provisions showing losses of 2,sGl5c.
 Despite little exhibit of bullish senti- ment around the start. extreme weakness developed in wheat, especially during the last half of the day. Liquidation was general and the declines that ensued were accelerated at times by a large amount of stop loss selling of the De- cember delivery. Continued big receipts at the spring crop terminals had made the trade incline to be apprehensive but had led to no further result until signs began to appear that liberal purchasl from first hands in the southwest was be- ing protected by option sales in Chicago The downward tendency that ensued gained additional impetus from reports Of railway congestion east of Buffalo, owing to scarcity of cars on one of the
 
 Liverpool firmness, which was responsi- ble for the only strength displayed by wheat, seemed to be based on a tempor- ary scarcity of offerings. The effect of this condition, however, was more than offset later by rumors of Dardanelles victory for Great Britain. On the other hand, word of Bulgarian and Austro-G Ger man successes appeared to carry little weight. as exporters were said to be can ceiling contracts freely.
 Corn manifested relative strength, ad- vancing at one time in the face of the break in wheat Export business encour- aged the bulls, but the wheat weakness and the fine weather gave the bears slightly the advantage in the end. Oats had no independent action. Traders wers governed wholly by attempts to follow changes in the price of other cereals.
 Provisions weakened under selling by commission houses and the smaller pack. CTS. The market lacked any aggressive support.

SWIMMING DEER ARE
 MENACE TO BOATS
'om the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

From the St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.
 Westport. on Lake Champlain, N. Y. Deer swimming by night in the waters of Northwest bay have become a positive menace to motor boat and rowboat par ties, and as precautionary measure searchlights in addition to those required by law are now carried on practically all of the craft on the bay after dark. The use of so many lights has brought forth a protest from the young couples who found the bay delightful spooning spot. and a peculiar vexatious situation for which the inquisitive deer alone seem re sponsible. has arisen.
 Why the animals, now numerous in the forests covering the montain slopes, should come down to the bay after dark with such perslstency has not been ox- plained, but they seem greatly attracted to the spot. Morton Adkins, out for a sail with a party of friends a few even- ings ago. undertook the capture of one they overlook swimming in the lake, and they nearly came to grief when the deer knocked hole in his dinghy.

HEAVY LIQUIDATION '0F COTTON HOLDINGS But Quotations Make Net Advance of 16 to 19
 Points

New Orleans, October 2e,-Heavy llqui- dation of the longs was against values In the cotton market today but the ses- sion was featured by a strong bulge. which at the time put prices to net gain of 16 to 19 points. Though this i'm provement was not sustained it caused activity and excited trading while it lasted. The close was at net gain of 3 to points.
 The market opened at the advance and In the early part of the session lost 10 to II points. With traders anticipating further declines under liquidation ru- mors of important English victories at the Dardanelles were spread and the most active months suddenly spurted upward nearly 30 points Shorts covered in con fusion and bulls were heavy buyers In the afternoon lack of confirmation of the war news stopped buying and the market commenced to fall off. Gossip was that important lines of strong cotton were be- ing reduced. The tone was officially called steady on the close.
