Many persons who have embarked
upon the patriotic service of raising a
family, have indicated to The Register
their wish that the village supported a
kindergarten, and as it appears that
there are here a large number
of children Of kindergarten age, we
believe there is a genuine opportunity
here for teacher whose heart in in
such work. We commend the idea. If
those DESTROYS of getting a kinder
garten started will communicate with
The Register how they feel regarding
the matter, it is possible that we can
publish later further encouragement
which would lead some teacher to take
up the work, There are many towns
OF similar size which support kinder
gartens, and parents who have sent
their children to them have no doubt of
benefit to be derived.

It is still matter of speculation as
to how far the war will drive US, but if
we have to 60 to the lengths which the
Central Powers have gone in the use of
our nan power we may see women
running some of our locomotives, serv.
ing as conductors and brakemen on cur
trains, and even doing such aborious
work as coal heaving. We shall prob.
ably never have to 90 as far as this,
but it is significant that even before our
first big army is raised the scarcity of
labor is such that our own Rutland
railroad is advertising for women TO fill
positions as station agents and other
positions hitherto held by men.

1000 AT EXHIBIT
Hlsh Schools Made Particularly
Fine Showing

Tie Addison County Boys and Girls
Exhibit last week was very successful
in spite of many adverse circumstances
Between three and four hundred boys
and girls made entries and total OF
over 500 exhibits were displayed at the
Exhibition Hall. This was only about
half the members of the exhibits which
would have been received If the weather
conditions had been favorable, over 1000
people attended the exhibit during the
TWO days and much work on the part OF
the superintendent and teachers OF
Middlebury and Vergennes school dis
tricts was shown by the number of eX-
hIbits received and the interest and
large attendance of the pupils Of these
districts.
There We're exceptionally large eX-
hibits Of potatoes, beans, beets, can
ming and sewing. The quality of all the
exhibits displayed was especially notice
able particularly the canning and
beans. The live stock exhibit was
small, this being due principally to the
stock being so widely scattered in the
more remote towns of the county. An
other year II is hoped that arrange
mcnts will he made of bringing in the
live stock exhibits, no matter what cir
cumstances may arise.
Among the group exhibits which were
especially good We're the MiddIebury
High School, the Hunt School OF Walt
ham, the Vergennes High School and
the Department of Manual Training OF
the Middlebury High School,
Thursday evening, Judge Weeks gave
a short talk after which +, l., ingalls,,
State Leader of Boys and Girls Clut
Work, gave an interesting illustrated
lecture on boys and girls club work,
Friday afternoon, the meeting was con
Quoted by the retiring County Agent,
j. h. Carrigan a few words were
spoken by the Superintendent of the
Vergennes schools, II. A. Farrar, Judge
Weeks, Miss Emma Fuller, Home Dem
onstration Agent and |. N. Bartlett
the County Agricultural Agent Miss
Bertha Holden, State Specialist il
Home Economics and f. b. jerks
Assistant Deanof the State Agricul
tural College gave interesting talks or
timely subjects.
Much credit is due to COL lsley anC
Judge Weeks for making the success Of
the exhibit possible. In as much as thil
years exhibit was so successful under
the unfavorable conditions and so much
interest on the parts of the children
and parents was manifested, it seems
reasonably sure that greater efforts
will be made next year TO insure I
larger exhibit and exhibit more repre-
sentative Of the whole county.
The Register last week published the
first list Of prize winners.

100000 BUYERS
FOR new BONDS
Liberty Loan Slogan For
Second Campaign.
Get a Badge Of Honor and Join
New EngIand'S Biggest Piece
of Patriotic Team Work.

1.-TWO million subscribers for $500, =
600, 000' is the slogan of the New
England committee in charge of the
Liberty bond drive in this district
Said n. Penrose Hallowell, vice.
I chairman of that committee.
Commenting on the total Of $26, =
CAT 900 which the combined actiW-
ties in all the New England states
had produced, as far as reported IN
the first five days, h aid.
"only Fairly Satisfactory"
This is far ahead Of what we had
at the end Of the first week of the
first campaign, but it must be re-
membered that at that time we had
practically no organization, and our
efforts were devoted almost entirely
to educational work.
"Our beginning for this campaign
Is only fairly satisfactory, 1t should
! be remembered that the country must
raise not So, 600, 600, 900, but S5,-
! 600 600 900, and that the New Eng
land district is required to subscribe
$500 900, 600 instead of $500, GOO, 600,
as before. Therefore, our task this
time is almost twice as great as before.
I'VE urge the citizens Of New Eng
land to do two things:
First, subscribe now. Do not
wait until the end Of the campaign,
as your subscription now will intiu-
ence others.
Second, wear your Liberty button.
This is a privilege and a duty. IL
this campaign is. to be successful, IN
another two weeks person not wear
ing q button will be very noticeable.
Remember this: Your example helps
Others your encouragement helps 9TH
ers.
Talk to all your friends regarding
the loan and keep on talking to the
end of the campaign. The whole
matter is simply one Of team work
and we ask you to join the team.
There were between 900, 900 and
I 900, 600 people who subscribed to
the 8 1-2 per cent. loan. This time
we want 2, 900, 900 subscribers.
1--WE are sending out letter to all
the banks in this district requesting
them to send US each day their total
number OF subscribers. When these
returns begin to come in, we will
publish them. Let our slogan from
now on be, Two million subscribers
for $500, 900, 900 bonds. This can be
done with your cooperation; It can
mot be accomplished without it,"
Trenchant Phrases.
The doctrine billions must come
from the millions" is set forth in
yhe typical speeches for the -Four
Minute Men," prepared as basis for
the arguments used by speakers and
sent out in a pamphlet by the commit
tee on public information in Wash
fngton.
Other phrases for driving the LIB
eYty loan home are:
( "Those who bought before will buy
more"
! "Are you going to ask your friend
II, he has bought new 4 per cent.
Liberty loan bond or are you going to
wait until he asks your
|, fare you going to lead or lag?"
/ sour loan or Germany's loan
which shall be crowned with the
lgreater success"
Emphasis is laid upon the value to
the cause Of "the many dollars from
the many, many wage earners." AS
an example of what the people can do
I'M the way of financing the war, 1t Is
urged that 10, 900, 900 persons, each
saving 10 cents each day, will save
$11 900, 900 daily.

FOUR COLLEGE MEN Off TO NAVY
Anderson, HuntIey JENNIE and
Ross

four Middlebury College men on Friday
from the Naval Reserve Headquarters
at Boston, The men called were Walter
Anderson, Fitchburg, Mass, Edward
Huntley New London, Conn., Harry

this call as both Anderson and Huntley
are members, Anderson had Just been
elected president Of his class and n
member of the Senior Council, His ac-
tivities were not confined 20 his class
alone as he also took leading part on
the athletic field, He was on the cham
pionship eleven Of last year and played
his old position at guard IN the game
against Amherst Saturday In this
game he received a painfulinjury to his
knee which compelled him to retire
from the game, md he will probably
have to stay in MIddlebury for a few
DAYS before he will be able to report for
service. eddie" lIuntlcy, as he is
known among the boys, also took an
active part In his class and in the life
Of the college, Last year he was man
ager of the football team and also held
an office in the College Union, His
most famous work is the "llmtey
Rag" which will be played for years to
come by the college banjo club at all
social functions
Harry JENNIE was member Of the
class OF 1919 and one OF its leading attn
letic stars. He was member Of the
basketball, baseball, and gym teams,
Malcolm Ross, who is considerably
under the draft age showed great signs
of being one of the leaders of the sophie
more class.

ter:
Much has been written concerning the
actual work of the Red Cross and many
appeals have been sent forth for more
helpers, yet the average woman remains
diSinterestcd and unmoved. Our Red
Cross organizations to today offer the
American woman the greatest OPP
portunity for self sacrifice and service
she has ever known. The time is here
for open-eyed, full handed, big hearted,
and up to the limit work. We who have
laborcd at our local Red Cross head
quarters, in answer to our nation s call
for service are happy and glad of what
we have accomplished since the organi-
zation. Our local work still continues
each Friday afternoon, and all the wo-
men and the girls of the town. are
urged to come and help. A number of
onr men have donated sums of money
from ono dollar TO five dollars All
these donations have been fully apprc-
ciated but our work is only begun
Our average attendance is only feeble

should take notice of the temptation
that this condition will furnish for pri-

be on the watch for trafficking in drugs

II. "Being Born Again"
Jesus told Nicodemus that he must
be born again" A great deal Of un-
necessary difficulty has been made
with this phrase. 1t is used nowhere
else in the New Testament. 1t was
spoken to a man Of high degree Of
Intelligence and education. 1t ought
not to be difficult to understand that
God is able to give new spiritual life
to each individual. He gave physical
life in the first place and he can do
the same thing with the spiritual.
There are countless cases of men
who have been "born again" Our
city missions TEEN with illustrations.
BILLY" Sunday, Mel Trotter, Harry
Monroe are outstanding types. There
are myriads Of cases of the new birth
in our churches. AS you observe these
people you discover that they are liv-
