A "Patriotc" Thief River Falls pastor has suggested that women bring

REAL MIDGETS HERE
Four With Kennedy Shows Smaller
Than Tom Thumb.

No one is more deeply interested
in the outcome of the European war
than the tiny French and Belgian
midgets who are with the Con t. Ken
nedy shows during the Big Free Fair.
These little folks, whose parents are
normal people, have brothers fighting
with the French forces, and were II
not for their size would themselves be
at the front today. These four midgets
are the smallest and most perfectly
formed Lilliputiars in the world.
The following description of the
little people will give the public an
excellent idea of their size: Princess

Dennison, age 10 years, "a inches in

Adriue, age 38 years, 81 inches iii
height, weighs 20 pounds.
Tom Thumb, who was exploited for
years by the Barnum & Bailey circus,
is known to all amusement patrons.
and he would be like a full grown
man when compared to these midgets
with the Kennedy shows. In the olden
times people compared all mid
gets with Tom Thumb, yet he was 81
inches in height and weighed As
pounds, which is just three times as
heavy as Prince Dennison, and eight
inches taller.

Buying Away From Home
BrattlebOrO RefOrmer

II is one of the queer things of life
that many people like TO buy goods at
long distances from their own homes
They seem to regard shopping as one Of
the diversions of an outing trip, They
scatter their money about al one place
and another regardless whether they
know anything about the stores they
are patronzing, Thus they help every
town except their own.
OF course the merchants of any com
munity gain as well as lose by this habit.
If they lose home trade that should be-
long to them, they get trade from visi-
tors from other places But IL remains
true that the places where there is a
strong sentiment of loyalty to home en-
terprises are the ones that 20 ahead,
1t ia a great thing to know person
ally the reputation of the merchants
with whom one is dealing The stores
in distant city may look attractive
seen from the outside. But they may
have persistent habit of working off
second grade goods. The prices seem
low, but just the same things could be
bought at home for the same money if
you told your merchant you would put
up with second grade article.
The people who buy away from home
often pay much more than they need to.
They pay for style, elaborate systems
of display, high cost real estate and
overhead charges, You cant get some-
thing for nothing,
There are'bargains to be had regular
ly in any store, from New York down to
theIsmallest village, They are produced
by changes of seasons and styles, over
stocks, and such regular causes. You
can get them at home just as well as
anywhere else. The best of them are
advertised in this paper. BY taking the
home bargain you are running no
chances, as you know from long ac-
quaintance the character of the mer-
chants with whom you are dealing,

Determined to Rise n World
Rutland News

Among American flyers in France
there is Henry Elmer Stickney of
Rutland, VT, concerning whom in
teresting particulars are just made
known. Young Stickney was a boy in
college. He left his studies, bought
a broken aeroplane with his savings,
repaired the machine and prepared him
self for the aviation corps. Here is a
striking example of the working of a
real spirit of service. 1t is pity that
this spirit is 50 little effective in the
halls Of congress, New York World.
The youth to whom the World refers
while attending Black River Academy
in his native town, Ludlow, rugged up
a glider and many a time skinned his
shins while attempting his jumps, as
The Rutland News has described be-
fore. But his perseverance and deter
mination to rise in the world were un-
daunted. He has been in France now
for week and his Rutland friends
wish the urbane and modest boy best
luck and hope to hear of his "winging"
quite a number of German fiers and
getting away safely. He has mastered
the American type of airplanes and
after instruction in the French type
young Stickney will go at 'em as soon
as he is permitted for, while without

Cleanliness VS.. Disease

Harold W. Slocum, secretary of the
Vermont Association for the Proven
ton of tuberculosis, interested large
audience at the Town Hall Wednesday
evening with talk and motion pictures
illustrating that the greatest weapon in
the fight against disease is sunlight and
cleanliness. His pictures all presented
in a popular dramatic way, showed
shockingly the peril of fighting tuber-
culosis with patent medicines and of
fighting it in dark and gloomy homes
they depicted graphically the danger
from dirty dairy farms and showed
how to combat the fly and properly care
for the teeth.
This educational work, which is done
all over the state, is provided for within
a $4,000 yearly appropriation, and Mr..
Slocum is giving the state its full
moneys worth in the valuable cam
paign for the public health. Some of
the scenario writers are guilty of eX-
aggeration in preparing their films, but
the contrast of extremes is essential to
bring home to everyone the maxim that
prevention is Safer Than Cure"

been added to the list of similar publ
cations which the Vermont publicity bu-

let contains SO pages, nearly every one
of which bears halftone of some hand
some bit of scenery on one or the other
of the Green Mountain states many
small bodies of water, particularly those
in the northeastern portion of the state.
The booklet contains a foreword by
Guy W. Bailey, secretary of state, who
writes that the purpose of the issue is
to give publicity to part of Vermont
that is not very well known, a portion
where sparkling waters and mountains
are united in endless variety.

Report From the Long Trail
Bennington Banner

For the benefit Of the Waterbury Re-
cord and other knockers: The best
patch of early potatoes in Vermont is
near the Vergennes station, they were
in full bloom on June 20; another potato
patch crowding hard for first honors is
in backyard garden in the village of
South Royalton; buckwheat sowing in
Belvidere is now practically complete
and potatoes are being hoed and plugged;
sweet corn in Canaan is little back =
ward, but cucumbers never looked bet
ter; squash vines at Plymouth Union
have suffered considerably from bugs,
but not from drouth; the grass crop at
West BridpOrt was never finer except
on wet land where it will be late and
poor; the onion farms at Grout crossing
are one hundred per cent perfect; the
blackberry bushes in Victory and Fays-
ton have blossomed freely, but fruit
has not set very WE'LL skunk cabbage at
East Corinth and Goose Green was badly
damaged by late frosts, but it makes
no difference as there are no skunks in
Orange county; Whitehill's bean farm
on Blush hill needs hoing. For further

MILK PRODUCERS WIN
Boston Dealers Agree to Meet
N.E.M.P.A. Price

The New England Milk Producers
association has won its fight with the
Boston firm handling the output. At a
conference of the directors held in Bos-
ton H. p Hood & Sons, one of the three
big Boston dealers, agreed to meet the
demands OF the association in full if
the producers would give the firm until
August instead of July Is, the date
originally named. The association
granted this concession and there will
be no strike by the producers on the
18th as was planned if their demands
were not met. The acceptance of the
new prices by Hood & Son is said to
mean that all of the other Boston deal
ers will follow suit. The new price for
milk is seven cents quart delivered in
Boston.
Hood & Sons has also agreed to adopt
the association price system and to CO.
operate in every way possible to improve
the condition of the dairy industry in
New England.

WORLDS GREATEST LOTTERY.

The Register presents this noon the
first results Of the great military draft
which is proceeding in Washington
to-day.
The manner in which the drawing was
done is at first inspection little com
pick, but on short study it unfolds itself
plainly and the description given in our
news columns, we believe, will enable
all to straighten out the question of
where they stand in the lists. If there
areIany errors made in our reports it is
not because we have spared any effort
to make them complete and official as
'received by US.
The process of exemption of those en-
titled to it will also be one of great in
terest, and next weeks Register will
report all progress made in that matter.
In the meantime it would speak in be-
half of the three men, Messrs Calhoun,
Wainwright and DR.. Dean, who consti-
tute Addison County's Exemption
Board. We doubt that the call could
have been made on three men more
qualified to sit in these cases, and we
know from personal knowledge that not
one of them has consented to accept these
responsible posts except at the sacrifice
of their personal wishes. 1t will be an
unenviable work they will have to do
and one in which they should have the
whole hearted support of every patriot
in Addison County.

The Kid Has Joined Tn. colors

The Kid has gone to the Colors
And we don't know what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cudded
Stepped out for the Flag today.
We thought him child, baby,
With never care at ALL
But his country called him man-size
And the Kid has heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting
Where, fired by fife the and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that whispered; Come :"
The Kid, not being Stacker,
Stood forth with patriot-ioy
To add his name to the roster
And, oh, we're proud of the boy
His dad, when he told him, shuddered,
His MOTHERHOOD bless her cried,
Yet blest with mother nature
She wept with mother pride
But he whose old shoulders Strengthened
Was granddad-for memory ran
To years when he, too, youngster
Was changed by the Flag to man

One Thing Bailey Should Do

1t is to be hoped that one of the first
things Controller Bailey does is to put
an end to this State university bust
ness. 1t is an unwarranted assump-
ton of title, conveying a wrong i'm
preston, and CRATES especially on friends
of,other institutions who feel discrmna-
ton is being attempted Mr.. Bailey's
common sense will cut out this foolish
ness. The University of Vermont is a
good title and one to be proud of, show
ing without question the relationship
of the institution and the common
wealth. 1t ought to be sufficient and
satisfactory to all concerned.
