FOR PAID SECRETARY
Board Of Trade Commute Would

No Criticism of Present Official-Nom-
nations for Officers Filed--Annual
Meeting April &c.
In compliance with the bylaws of the
Brattleboro board of trade q committee
appointed by President Horton d.
Walker to nominate officers to be voted
upon in the annual meeting of the
board Wednesday, April 20, has made
nominations, filing the list with the
secretary Saturday The committee con
sists of Arthur p. Simonds, William A.
Shumway and Howard G. Rice.
The nominations are as follows: For
directors, Horton D. Walker, Arthur B.
Clapp, Martin Austin, Freeman Scott
Lyndon L. Durham, Lyman L. Holden,
William L. Hunt, Dennison Cowles, Ell.
bert c. Tenney, Howard G. Rice, Oscar

G.. Staples, Clarence L. Stickney; for
treasurer, Charles A. Boyden; for au.
ditor, Frederic G. Adams; or clerk
Carl S. Hopkins.
In addition to the nominations fol
officers the committee urges that the
board engage q paid secretary who shall
give his whole time to the work of the
board. The suggestion is expressed il
the following language:
eve take the liberty of recommend
ing at this time that the board of trade
give serious and immediate considera
ton to the idea of paid secretar,
who shall devote his entire time to thu
duties of the office. The boards Of
trade i'll Bellows Falls and Keene hav,
tried the paid secretary idea and from
experience are firm believers in it. Thi
recommendation is made with due appre
citation of the efficient work done b,
Secretary Hopkins. 1t is our belief
however, that the time has come whel
the continued success of the organiza
ton demands the year-round service
of man who has been trained in tn
work and will be at all times at tn
services of the president and other of
ficers.

One reason may be given for Shake

we have reason to think it was OF
kind to appeal to him. There was
no copyright. and to publish the plays
was to lessen their financial value to
his company. This gentle Will. this

ness. If We had only the RECORDS OF

not positively evasive. He was appar-
emily negligent of debt contracted by
his wife. Like many men of property,
he evaded the restrictions against

use, being in his way moonshiner.
Liberal in giving aid and lending
money to his friends in need. he was
strict in collecting debts. At about the
