HASKELL PLEAsEs COACHES.
Brattleboro Boy Puts Shot AZ Feet in
First Trial at Practice and Makes
Officials Open Eyes.

Brattleboro has a freshman at Am
herst who is liable to be heard of
in field events at that college in the
spring. Merrill Haskell, who featured
in the weight events while in the Brat
tleboro high school, especially at the
University of Vermont interscholastic
meets, has already caught the eye of
the track coaches at Amherst. He an
swered a call for weight men the other
day and on his first trial tossed the shot
over AZ feet, a mark that caused the
coaches to open their eyes and immedi-
ately list him as a man to be watched
and coached.

B. H. s. LOSES OPENING GAME.
Keene High, With Kibbee as Principal
Ground Gamer, Wins at Island Park
by Score of 90 to 7.

Brattleboro high was defeated in its
first football game of the season Sat
urday at Island park by the Keene
high school team, which had played
three games previously. Brattleboro,
with team composed in the majority
of green players, played plucky game
but was very. weak on the defense.
The tackling was of the apologize
type and to that fact is due much of
the ground gained by Keene.
Kibbee was almost the sole ground
gamer for Keene, being worked in
over two-thirds of the plays, most of
them plunges through the line of plays
sliding off tackle. Not until the last
period did Brattleboro find a way to
stop him. Putney, quarterback, re-
peatedly worked trick play by which
he almost invariably gained yard
or two directly through center. The
Brattleboro line was outplayed
throughout
Capt. Edward Moran and his broth
er, Justin, were the principal ground
gamers for the home team, while Ran
dali and Plumb We're especially valu
able on the defense. Thayer at right
end made one of the few clean low
tackles of the entire game.
I
Sherman of the Keene team made
one of the touchdowns when he scooped
up fumblei ball on Brattleboro IS
20-yard line and ran for a touchdown.
Kibbee kicked a difficult field goal in
the first period after Brattleboro had
held for downs on their 10-yard line.

Hitchcock Says Hughes VIII Garry

Chicago, Oct. "A report that

publican national headquarters today
by Frank II. Hitchcock, a member
of the Republican national advisory

said that the sentiment in New York

said, there was considerable doubt as
to the situation.
Favorable reports also were re-
ceived from West Virginia, Hitch

BEAUTlFYING PUBLIC
z,r E-@

There is a general impression that
the time to plant trees is in the
spring. With the approach of sum
mer, people seem much more inter
ested in plans Of improvement. They
are making gardens and cleaning up
grounds, and 1t is easy to interest
them in the idea of permanent beau
LITIGATION with foliage.
But according to the experts, there
is no time better suited for tree plant
ing than the fall. There Is less de.
mand then on the sapling for vitality
and It can spend its energy in ac-
quiring roots.
The beauty Of a town Is more de-
pendent on tree growth than any
other thing. No matter how attrac.
tive houses you may put up in a
new town or new section, they will
always look bare and staring unless
partly screened by trees. And a
street of small homes looks sordid
and homely unless 1t has foliage.
1t is surprising how many defects
are covered by tree growth. Houses
may need painting, but If there are
beautiful trees in the street or on
the grounds to attract attention, min
or faults pass unnoticed.
Many householders are willing to
set out trees on their own land, nl-
will do nothing toward putting them
in the street. But meanwhile most
municipalities are scrimpeG for mon
cy. They do not begin to do all that
should be done in planting on new
streets.
Householders should realize that to
make their places look attractive the
street needs to be beautitied. If they
sit back and wait for the public au.
thorities to do it, they may have to
wait for many years A few trees
along the walk cost little. They
pay returns manifold in the added at.
tractiyeness OF the neighborhood. Now
ls the time to do 1t.

How Chautauqua
Aids Community
Brings New Life to Many Towns by
Preaching Home
Loyalty
BY c. II. Plattenburg

According to James r. Moorehead,
secretary of the National Retail Mer'
chants Association, 6,S75 towns in
eight central western states lost in
population from 1900 to 1910.
Thousands Of towns and villages
in such states were dying of dry rot.
The mail order houses had put thou
sands Of small merchants out of bus
mess caused a depreciation Of mil
lions in real estate values and left
vacant business houses everywhere.
Conditions in these towns were de-
plorable.
Then came the chautauqua, preach
ing loyalty to the home town and
home institutions.
"Town DOCTORS" as they are call
ed. talked to the people about SAM
tation, play grounds. good roads and
kindred subjects and the result has
been phenomenal.
Towns that before had had no en-
tertainment above the cheap stock
company, medicine shows and street
carnivals now are having the best
amusements, and senators, judges, au
thors and eminent divines come and
talk about the good and wholesome
things Of life.
Chautauquas brought the people oil
the rural communities together and
today the farmer, the merchant, the
lawyer, the doctor and the laboring
man are all becoming town boosters
In fact, the chautauqua has been
the salvation of the small town.

COLLEGE PEOPLE
IN POLITICS

Much Is said by way of urging ed.
ucated men to go into politics as a
duty owed the state. College gradu-
ates, college officers, and college pro-
q lcssoVs are entreated to forego the
satisfaction of retired culture. They
are told they should make themselves
Il force in the community.
Yet when college people do enter
the civic field, they often encounter
very unpleasant rough and tumble
One instance is that OF man in. a
nearby state who Is running for the
legislature. It Is said he could sure
ly be elected were he not college
professor. He has had good bust.
ness experience, has worked on poll
| teal committees, so he is no mere
theorist. Yet 1t is estimated that the
fact, that he is college professor
| will cost him 1000 votes.
Is this prejudice on the part of the
voters? Or does it signify some real
weakness of the college type? 1t in
/ dictates misconception somewhere
The wisdom OF the colleges does not
amount to much unless it fits its eX.
ponents for the most practical kind
Of service.
The man who was speaking OF this
case thought the trouble is that peo-
pie who live in the college atmo.
sphere have little idea of business
He had the notion for one thing that
the great majority of college pro-
fessors, though receiving reasonably
good salaries, are apt to be in debt
The college professor type is prob
ably misjudged by the average man
He may not be able to milk COW or
mend a wheel barrow. But he will
see clearer than many others the fol
ly and cost of our pork fed politics.
But the college type of man, 20
become a political and social force
needs to come closer in touch with
average life. He needs TO meet the
mechanic and the business man and
the farmer on an every day level, He
will find that the major part OF the
worlds wisdom is not contained in
books. Every laborer and every farm
hand can tell him something that he
needs to Know.

FOR FIRST TINE IN
JWEN1y-FOUR YEARS
BILL FILED FEB. 20
ONLY NINE ON THIS DATE
SINCE AND lNCLuD.
ING 1874.
MEANS REELECTION WILSON
In 1892 And 1876, Only Previous Years
When Such Bills Were Filed, in
Over a Generation Democrats Were
The Victors.

For the first time in twenty-four
years a bill was filed on February 20,
when the suit of John Brady was in
stitued in the chancery court on Tues
day against 0. c. WEIGH and wife,
Myra Welch. Since and including
1914, there have been just exactly nine
bills fled in the chancery court of this
county on the extra day of leap year.
The largest number fled in this
extra day" was in 1914, when three
suits were instituted 1t was then
twenty-four years until another was
filed in leap years special date, when
one suit was instituted. There was
an eight year skip when in 1876 two
we're filed; after an interval of six
teen years one was filed in 1892.
In the last year in which these bills
were filed, in 1892, Grover Cleveland
a democrat, was elected president In
the time before that, in 1876, Tilden,
another democrat, was elected presi-
dent, so that Clerk and Master Fariss
is of the opinion that the bill filed on
Tuesday will again bring good luck to
the democrats and means another four
years Of Woodrow Wilson.
The bill fled Tuesday by John
Brady. alleges that on Nov. "a last, he
purchased of defendants, Welch and
wife, forty acres of land in the Ninth
district Of Maury county for which he
paid $4,000; that the defendant WEIGH
represented to the purchaser that the
tract contained forty acres and that
he purchased the same upon such rep
reservations However, it is alleged
that on January Z, last the tract of
land was surveyed by County Surveyor
McKissack and found to contain only
twenty-three and nine-tenths acres
The bill also charges that as a matter
of fact the defendants had previously
conveyed the lands to James Pipkin
and really had no right to convey the
same. The bill prays that the sale be
set aside and defendant return the
purchase price that if this cannot be
done Judgment be rendered for
$1,000 the amount overpaid for the
land J c. VOORHEES, is solicitor for
the complainant.
