Several of the speakers noted in the
program which was published in full in
last week 5 Register are men of wide
note in Sunday School leadership. One
of the principal speakers is w. c.
Pearce, Associate General Secretary,
Dean of the training Scnool, and Super
intendent of th- International Sunday
School Associatlon. Mr.. Pearce is a
lawyer by Profession. and noted as an
organizer. Proof of his work is seen
in the fact that there are over 63, 900
adult bible classes on the records of his
department in the office of the Inter-
national Sunday School Association in
Chicago, most of which were organized
since 1905 Mr., Pearce has lately been
serving az Field superintendent, trav-
cling from forty to fifty thousand miles
a year intoaevery state in the Union and
through Canada making many address,
es and attending many conferences.
He is in great demand as speaker,
and the Vermont Convention feels for
tunate in having procured him to ap-
pear here
Wallace j. Woodin of Hartford, Ct.,
General Secretary of the Connecticut
Sunday School Association for the past
seven yeers will be another speaker.
His association has made remarkable
gains and his advice on organization
will undoubtedly prove of value, He
has spoken in several of the county
Sunday Schoo. Conventions in Vermont,
but his visit to Middlebury will be his
first appearance at a State Sunday
School Convention.
The principal meetings will be held,
as already announced, in the Congrega-

MIDI VS.. DARTMOUTH TOMORROW
Many Men on Hospital List, But
Good Game Expected.

For the first time in the history of
MiddIebury College athletics, the Mid
debury football men will meet the
Dartmouth eleven tomorrow at Hano-
yer, n. H. Usually Dartmouth has a
heavy and fast team, and from all indi-
cations this team will prove no eXcep-
tion to the rule Dartmouth defeated
the Springfield Training School last
week and Mddebury defeated Amherst,
but this gives little indication how
either team may be. Midd. has more
men on its hospital list this year than
ever before The list of misfortunes
started with Canty, the big tackle, who
broke his ankle early this fall, and in
last Saturday 5 game Anderson, Henry
Thomas, the Presidents son, and Muir
name all received injuries, which will
necessitate change of the lineup for
tomorrow.
Coach Murch feels certain he has
good men to fill the holes left by the
three injured men and joins with Capt.
Bower in saying, ''If we don't beat
them they will at least know that they
have been in fight.

SHOE REPAIRING
Business Has Greatly Expanded
Since War Broke Out.

One of the consequences of the war
has been the enormous expansion
which certain lines of industry have
undergone, notably iron, steel and
copper. In a less conspicuous way,
many other lines of business have en-.
joyed a growth not dreamed of in
antebellum days. One of these is
shoe repairing
Since leather began to soar, many
people who once threw away pair of
shoes when they began to show signs
of wear now hand those shoes to re-
pair man This is one of the wisest
of war economies, because an expert
workman will make them almost as
good as new. 1t ranks next to food
economy.
F. A. Evans, the Middlebury shoe
man, tells a very interesting story in
this connection. Formerly Mr.. Evans
paid little attention to repairing, but
80 many requests for this kind of work
came to him that he made it a regular
department Customers were so we'll
pleased with the work that they passed
the word along, and Mr.. Evans now
has as high as thirty and forty pairs a
week to go through the process. The
result amply repays the investment.
Mr.. Evans will be glad to give furth-
er information along this line. If you
have pair of shoes that need attention
take them to Mr.. Evans. He will guar
antee first-class job.

Gently evidenced his strong confidence

Davis upon the fact that the cam
paign of concerted efforts for the adj
vancement of the city along general
lines has been Il highly effective one
the past year and that practical APP
plication by them of the slogan Alto
gethcr for Nampa," has been thor
oughly evidenced to be productive of
results and that its continuance the
present year will be none the less so.
