The Meddler has never been a very
strong advocate of tag days but in. the
case of the Brattleboro rest room he
believes that the worth of the cause
justifies this method of raising funds
for its support, especially since the pub
lie spirited women who take upon them
selves the burden of carrying ON this
valuable institution find it impossible
to secure the necessary money by any
other method. The date decided upon
for the rest room tag day is next week
saturday, Sept. 16.

Two women from small town adj
joining Brattleboro stopped at the cor
ner of Main and High streets the other
afternoon and INDUCED in the following
dialogue:-
what in the world is that red post
that says on it Drive slowly and keep
to the right?'''
Why, that's some sort of marker
erected by the Daughters of the Revo
lution.'

Although The Meddler has no direct
information on the subject he imagines
that the purchase of the Marlboro South
pond property by State Fish and Game
Commissioner Titcomb means important
developments in that locality. The
chances are that Mr. Titcomb has ac-
CURED the property for the purpose OF
making it into a summer resort rather
than as site for fish hatchery and it
ought not to be difficult to find ready
market for summer home sites along
the shores of South pond which is not
but is one of the few ponds hereabouts
| that affords trout and landlocked sal
mon fishing.

Not long ago The Meddler spoke OF
the Importance of keeping Brattleboro s
new railroad station new as long as
possible, laying stress on the fact that
practically everybody should cooperate
in this work. The immediate response
bility for the station S upkeep, how
ever, rests with the railroad companies
and appearances would seem to indicate
the necessity of reminder in this re
gard. The station is not being kept il
the spick- andtspan condition that il
should be. Neglect is evident in numer
Gus places. The public cannot be ex
pected to treat the structure with due
regard unless those directly responsible,
for its condition do their share.

The MeddIer
IF the coat fits you, put It on"

Although the abandonment of this
years Valley fair brings disappoint-
ment to great many people there is
general feeling that the action of the
local board of health was wise. What
effect the action viii have on the fair
association itself only time can deter
mine. AS far as this year is concerned
the association will in all probability
be better of financially than as if it had
gone through with its exhibition. I'm.
questionably the ban on children under
10 years of age would have cut into the
attendance for the reason that MANY
people could not have gone unless their
children could have gone with them
and many others would not have cared
to go and leave the youngsters at
home. The time when the effect of this
year s Abandonment will be felt will he
next year. There can be no denial OF
the fact that the dropping of the Val
| ley fair from the schedule of New Eng
/ land agricultural fixtures will make ex
ira work necessity to put the 1917 ex
hibit on its feet, but this may prove
to be just the incentive needed. Those
most closely connected with the fail
management have felt for some time
that distinct changes in policy were
necessary, and this years break may
become the occasion for putting these
lchanges into effect.

2ND BAPTIST CHURCH
IS UNITED AGAIN

The visit of the moderator of the
Western Baptist Association of South
ern California has done much good
for the colored people of Ell Gen.
tro.
The Second Baptist Church (col-
ored) had split, but Rev. Mr.. Thomas
got the factions to reunite and the
dove of peace is lowering over the lit
tie flock as never before.
| This little church has a member
ship of 83, which is very encouraging
to them, as that is the larger part of
the colored people Of this community.
The congregational raised $110.24
during the five days of the rally. A
very good portion Of this was given
by white people who are friends of
the church and Rev. Thomas, and the
church expresses many thanks for the
kindness shown it by it's friends.
Finding that the town had been
,nisled by some person or persons who
are canvassing for the Second Baptist
Church, they ask that no contributions
be made for the Second Baptist church
unless the canvasser bears authority
from the Second Baptist church, signed
by the church clerk, L. ]. Ferguson
or Moderator H. B. Thomas.
The money received will be paid Out
through the First National Bank te
the following firms and persons: The
Blinn Lumber Co., Harrel Music Co..
S. A. Alwine and George A. Ragan
Rev. Thomas will leave for Santa
Barbara, Cal, tonight against the
wishes of all the colored people OF
this place and Mrs. S. B. Strickland
will continue the work. Mrs. Strick.

at the church every evening this week
and at each service Sunday.
Mrs. Strickland is president of the
Women's Home and Foreign Mission

and hear this great woman.
Mrs. Strickland is staying at the
home of Mrs. Addie Johnson, 425 Com

meet friends.
Mrs. N. ]. Ferguson is chairman
of an entertainment and chicken din
ner to be given at the Second Baptist

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Two interesting talks were heard
this morning by all who were in the
Assembly hall. Rev. H. B. Clark, at
the invitation of Professor Randall,
spoke on the value of training. TAX
ing the subject in broad sense, he
compared the training of an athlete
to the preparation for life.
Mrs. Vashta Dalton, who lectures
at the Palace Theatre tonight, told of
the hard life led by the people in
Alaska and of the great odds against
mankind in that frozen country. The
schools are very few and far be-
tween up there, making an education
very hard to obtain.
By a curious coincidence the two
talks from people in different condi-
tions and surroundings spoke of the
value of an education more than can
be obtained in the High School. They
both spoke of the distinctive stamp
of the college man.
All track and field work being fin
ished, the active athletes of the school
have turned their attention to base
ball. The first game is to be played
Saturday with Imperial. The boys
have had only one week of practice
and a good game is almost impos-
sible under those conditions. An in
teresting game will be played in
stead.

resources of their county, q
very patriotic undertaking.
What are the resources of Ma
rion county as compared with
those of the Florida county, and
which county can boast of the
most natural advantages. The
Florida county with a foundation
of sand to rest on for its great
ness seems to display deal
more life and energy. What
has Florida got anyway that it
has proved so attractive? Why
should not this county with the
same amount of advertising and
development be as attractive
and lure the tourist from north
ern and southern chimes?

MARKET REPORTS SENT
OUT FREE THIS YEAR
Movement Of Tennessee's Strawberry
Crop Made Known Daily to Farmers
and Dealers-Profits Increased.

The Office of Markets of the United
States Department of Agriculture has
put into effect a system of market re-
porting that has been used this season
by growers and by dealers in perish
able crops. Tennessee is recognized
as the leading strawberry State in the
Union. During the movement of straw
berries two offices were maintained in
Tennessee from which we're sent daily
market reports to those desiring SUCH
The Geographic reports cost those who
received them the expense of the tele
graphic service; the reports that were
mailed cost nothing.
These market reports were secured
by collecting from all parts of the
country facts as to the movement of
perishable crops under consideration.
These reports were telegraphed daily
by the railroads, government on
Gals and others to headquarters
at Washington. They were i'm
mediately summarized and the re-
sulting totals telegraphed to stations
like the one established this year in
Tennessee, at Humboldt. From Hum
boldt the strawberry growers and
shippers we're supplied with the infor-
nation II they asked for it, Through
a proper use of the figures, the pro
Queer has been able to get from his
crop the greatest possible returns.
The station at Humboldt supplied
West Tennessee with information. A
similar station for the distribution of
market news in the eastern part of the
State was located at the weather bu-
reau office, Chattanooga.
1t is too early yet to hear from users
Of the market reports, but a compar-
son of the demand for the reports this
year as compared with last year points
plainly to their popularity.
The Division of Extension of the
University of Tennessee. Knoxville,
has been cooperating with the Office
of Markets in the establishment of
better market conditions and knowl
edge and will be glad to take up with
anyone any peculiar problems sur
rounding his work. The Office of Mar
kets does not restrict its efforts to per-
ishable products, but takes an active
interest in every farm crop.

| WONDERFUL ACHIEVE.
MENT.

A vessel entered Chesapeake
Bay Sunday that was a wonder
full accomplishments navigation.
1t was a submarine merchant
man, the first the world has ever
seen, and left Bremen, Germany,
June Il. 1t carried a very valu-
able cargo of dye stuffs, besides
tons of mail. 1t was built in
Germany especially for the pur-
pose, sailed from a German port,
and manned by thirty men, a.
voided the English and French
warships that were searching for
it. 1t was a distinctive German
triumph, accomplished by a ma
ton whose resourcefulness in do
ing things is becoming more pro-
nounced as the war proceeds, and
whose achievements in mechan-
les, chemistry and science are
putting to shame more boastful
nations, including ourselves.
The Germans are a wonderful
people.
