H0OSICk FALLS, so;
BURR AND BURTON, %

The Boys Club of Hoosick Falls
won ono Of the toughest basket bal
contests ever Played here when the
score stood 80 to 2S in their favor a
the end Of the game, Friday, February
9th. The outcome Of the game was
always in doubt until the end. Hoosick
Falls early demonstrated their ability
to play real basket ball, and had they
stuck to basket ball and resorted less
to foot ball the score might have been
different.
The Seminary team stood the con-
test well and showed themselves equal
to their opponents tactics. However,
with all due credit to the referee, the
game should have produced many
more fouls on each side. Running
with the ball and tripping were the
chief offenses of Hoosick Falls, while
was The fault Of the home
team.
The line up was as follows: Mars
den, r. f.; Phelps, l. f.; Doane, c.;
Buck, |. g.; Shaw, r. G. The next
game is with Brandon, Feb. 1lth.

'0UR WASHINGTON
CORRESPONDENCE

Washington, d. c., Feb. Am ap
palling oversight of the Democratic
administration in providing for ma
tional defense has been laid bare.
Representative Patrick II. Kelley OF
Michigan, a member Of the Naval
Affairs Committee, has disclosed to
the House that Of the nine dread
naughts, II destroyers, 80 submarines
and two transport and supply ships
authorized by Congress or under con
struction since the Democrats have
been in control Of the House, NOT
ONE is COMPLETED.
More important still, 10 apparent
effort has been made by the President
or the Navy Department since the be-
ginning Of the war in Europe to has
ten the construction and completion OF
these additions tothe Navy.
Why this neglect on the part Of the
administration to carry out the man
date Of Congress to equip the navy for
adequate national defense at this
time?
In a resolution setting forth this
condition Mr.. Kelley referred to the
Presidents recen. statement that "the
world is on fire and we are daily
treading amidst dangers not Of our
own making and not under our con
troll; no man can tell what a day may
bring forth"

WHAT ONE VERMONT BOY DID

Leslie's Weekly carries the pictur,
Of a Michigan boy whose claim t
fame is that on half-acre Of land hc
raised 210 bushels of potatoes, which
is a. the rate of 420 bushels an acre
This accomplishment was rewarded by
the boy being given scholarship in
the Michigan Agricultural College
while the county in which he resided
undertakes to pay his expenses during
his two years at the institution. The
boy had done well and has been splen-
didly rewarded.
Yet that boy set up no worlds rec
ord. He had led in Michigan. I'm
doubtedly there are many other boys
in the United States who have been as
successful at potato raising as he was.
The Messenger knows of one Franklin
county boy who not only equalled the
Michigan lads record, but bettered it
considerably. That boy is Roy Wilcox
Of Georgia, who also was rewarded
for his ACCOMPLISHMENT, although not
so handsomely as was the Western
lad.
But the reward is not the main thing
TO be considered. Young Wilcox re-
ceived a gold watch from the st. Al
tans Business and Professional Mems
Association, offered to the boy in the
s.. Aibans high school who was most
successful in potato raising. Roy
Wilcox on a farm in Georgia, raised
i crop equal to 4S0 bushels to the
crc, exactly so bushels more than the
,Iichigan boy was able to produce.
There is more in this comparison
than appears at first glance. 1t should
go a long ways in satisfying the
skeptics that the soil of Vermont
when treated properly, that is, when
brains are mixed with Drawn, cannot
only equal but excel the soil Of the
Great Middle West which has been a
and allurement for so long.
Here in Vermont we can do just as
veil as they can out West. We have
is great opportunities here as any
yhere in the country, and the big
are nearer to our doors. Ex
lmples like that offered by Roy Viii
OK are of immense value; they give
concrete in the way of COM
,arison. The more Roy Wilcoxs Yer
non. has the less will we hear of poor
arming conditions in Vermont, for
he conditions are not poor unless they
re made so.-St. Adams Messenger.
The Manchester journal. [volume] (Manchester, Vt.) 1861-current, 1916-02-10

His resolution proposed that the
Secretary of the Navy be directed "a
negotiate at once with contractors and
government ship yards TO learn the
earliest time within which these war
craft can be completed, and report to
the House.
"The President has said in his re-
cent speeches that the country faces
a crisis" said Mr.. Kelley, "and none
could tell what day might bring
forth. If this language means any
thing, il means that our need of de-
fense is a present need. Dread
naughts and battle cruisers authorized
by this Congress will not be avail
able for the defense Of the country for
four years to come.
Hence it seems to me that the first
duty of Congress is to see that the 81
ships now under construction or au-
thorized for the American navy are
completed and made available at the
earliest possible moment. Prepara-
tons which do not materialize for five
years would not vail us anything if
our danger is present one.
81 cannot understand how the
President, knowing the danger as he
only can know it, has made no sug-
gestion to Congress that the ships
now under construction ought TO be
rushed 20 completion.
EITHER we are not in danger or the
President has been negligent in this
regard"

RESULT OF SECOND INTER
VILLAGE RIFLE SHOOTING

Last Friday night the second match
of indoor rife shooting was held al
the Center, and il was thought that
/ inasmuch as some Of those who had
figured quite prominently in the first
shoot had slipped their gear. so to
speak, il would be wisdom to have
teams made up of ten men instead Of
five as at the first shoot. This seemed
master stroke and one that would
rebound to the advantage Of the
"Streeters" but there's many slip
twixt cup and lip" and while The man
who had the speck on his glasses at
the first shoot more than redeemed
himself, it befell one of his compan-
ions, generally Davy Crockett with
his rife, to slip up. Mr.. Moffat offers
no excuse. except that threadbare
one: 81 really don't see how it all hap
pened unless the target was too
small"
1t is interesting 20 note that while
the match was won by the Center boys
by margin of five points, that the
original five on each team, who shot
at the first match, ran very close To-
gether in their shooting with the adj
vantage with the Village boys BY
three points. A. C. Orvis demonstra.-
ed that he could "come back" from the
fact that from low man on the first
shoot he was runner up to the high
gun at this one.
After the shooting was done adj
journmene was had and light lunch
served, which feature added very ma
terially to the pleasure of the even
ing.
We give herewith the tabulated |
score as compiled by the official score
keeper and handed to the editor, who
was unavoidably absent from The
shoot.

The sad suns set by our lost seas
That rim our coasts Of Yesterday
The warm winds wave our filmy trees
Against blue skies. From far away
Unbidden fancies pause 70 play
On harps, sweet strains from long ago
Which bring the tears though they

Those softening tears, is it not so
A halo hangs above the past
And every pleasant place long saline
Each grace each face the least and
last
Is vanished gladness .hat was
thine7
