The first game of the season fo'
the Y. NJ c. A. team will be played
tonight in the gymnasium, with ?
preliminary, featuring the second
team, at 7.SO.
Several of the players composing
the team had talked of renting Ii
brary Hall for the season, owing t.
the larger floor and greater seatinl
capacity, but at the same time the Y
NJ. G. A. had just been able to take
UP the game for the season, and fol
lowing the usual custom wherever
there is an Association building, the
senior athletics will be centered at
the Y. NJ c. A. and the team known
as the Y. NJ C. A, team, wearing the
emblem of the Association.
A game was scheduled for Wed
nesday night with the Williamstown
Independents, but irregular car SER
vice made it impossible for them to
get to Bennington and the evening
was spent in practice games.
The lineup has not been definitely
settled but will be made from the fol
lowing: Nelson Hitchcock, b. NJ.

War unon Pain!

Pain is a visitor to every home and
usually it comes quite Unexpectedly.
But you are prepared for every emer-
gency if you keep small bottle of
Soan's Liniment handy. 1t is the
greatest pain killer ever discovered.
Simply laid on the skin-no rubbing
required--it drives the pain away. 1t
is really wonderful.

Our friend Senator Hastings has
the peculiar faculty of putting his
foot in it and giving himself away.
In opposing the Ackley water
bill in the senate, Paul is reported
to have said, in reply to the state
ment that there had been but little
or no Improvement of water powers
since the Hastings law was enact
ed, that there had been but little
or no development of new projects
of any kind in the industrial world
during the past two years. Be-
cause why Senator? One does not
have to look far to find the reason
for industrial apathy. The water
power law, which deprives men of
their property rights and with the
present democratic tariff, men dare
not invest.

Two bills have been introduced
in the assembly which should be-
come laws. One is to abolish the
highway commission and the other
is to abolish the state board of pub
lie affairs Both are expensive and
a burden on the taxpayers who re-
ceive little or no benefit. Under
progressive nonsense, offices were
multiplied to furnish soft snaps for
henchmen who would be useful in
maintaining the the perpertuity of
the machine its only object being
to grind the people. Abolish many
of the commissions, boards and

may perform their duties, that the
people may know who is respon-
sible for good or bad COVER nment.

1t is earnestly to be hoped that
trainers of legislation relative to
child labor will exercise good iudg-

striction. While it is all right to
prevent by reasonable legislation

best environments possible. They
should be taught habits of indus

will not grow up in idleness to be
adverse to labor in their mature

by our parents to work Saturdays

help to US, for we learned to do
many things that were of value to
us In after life.

There are many noted points connect

in Massachusetts, was transferred to
New York and the bulk of it was fought
out In New jersey. the surrender being
made In Virginia. After the battle OF
Long Island General Washington's
central point-that is, when he was not
in the ield-was at Morristown, in a
house which is now owned by a So

order as a memento of the Father OF

If people lived today as frugal
and economical as our grand-par-
ents and parents did, the cost of
living would be reduced half if
not more and we would have en-
ough of good wholesome food and
be much happier than the people
are today. The truth is, that all
try to live and dress as if they
were millionaires and the income
will not cover more than half Of the
expense or much less. Those whose
memories go back sixty years re-
member how plainly they lived !,
had enough and were happy. Peo-
pie were more hospitable than
now. There were no social caste
except between the good and bad
and it was one grand brotherhood
all being ready to help others when
necessity required it. Now there is
social and financial conflict on all
sides, men trying by legitimate
or illegitimate means to secure
more money, that they may have
more to spend on useless extrava-
