Reading High School won the sea-
sons honors in the Pennsylvania Scho-
lastic League. The Berks county ag-
gregation played a good game. They
made hard fight after Central fell
down through loss of star players on
account of eligibility rules.
Much credit is due the Lebanon High
School basketball team runners-up in
the Pennsylvania scholastic race. This
five set a pace from the start and
had in Moore the best point winner in
the league.

Beyond the festive tee;

I'll meet gunman any day

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1917-05-04

To.dayis weather was a poor accom-
paniment of any crop planting activity
and most Vermont people were forced
therefore, to disregard the advice of Gov
ernor Graham, to the effect that Arbor
day, May 4, should be set aside for the
purpose of putting seed in the ground,
as well as for the setting out of trees.
Arbor day weather was very much like
the brand of the atmospheric conditions
we have been having for the past month
cold and threatening of rain--and gar
deners, both professional and amateur,
had to possess their souls in patience
until kindly nature shall have come to
the rescue with few warm days to
bring the soil to a temperature condu-
Give to the nurturing OF the seed. But
the backwardness OF the season should
not be allowed to dampen in the least
the enthusiasm which has been awakened
in Vermont for great crop raising cam
paign; rather should it strengthen the
resolution of all to make the most of
favorable weather when such weather
does come. Hold the seed until the
ground warns up

SATURDAYS PRESS HOUR.

Beginning tomorrow, May ), The
ule Of going to press at noon on Satur-
days. This schedule (going to press
three hours ahead of the usual time

all who have recourse to the columns of
this paper to lend their cooperation to
the end that the work may be lightened
as much as possible. Advertisers should
have their copy in the Office Friday aft
ernoon or early Saturday morning; cor
respondents should send their mailed
stories Friday night whenever possible,
and if it is necessary to use the tele-
phone or telegraph Saturday forenoon
they should do so before 10 o'clock;
preachers who take the opportunity to
insert their church notices in Saturdays

afternoon. Persons who know anything
about getting out daily newspaper
know that the last hour or two before
going to press is decidedly cluttered up
with small details which must be attend
ed to, and those conditions prevail in an
intensified form when the press time is
set ahead three hours. We are anxious
to give you just as good paper as pos
sible. Therefore, we ask your co-opera-

THE RESPONSE Is GOOD.

Barre people have reason to be proud
of the young men who have responded to
the appeal to fill up the ranks of the
Headquarters company of the National
Guard as well as to recruit other com
panies of the state militia up to the re-
quired strength. At the same time the
business men and women of Barre who
donated their advertising space in one
days issue of The Times in order to
spread the appeal broadcast have reason
to be gratifed. The results have come
up to their expectations. The young
men of Barre and of other sections in
Vermont have felt the force of the APP
peal, and they recognize the nations
need for their services. Let the move
ment spread until the LIST Vermont in
fantry, National Guard, shall become a
strong regiment, strong in physical quail
fcations and in patriotic enthusiasm.
In this connection, the present-day
Vermonter should read the chronicle of
the stirring days of 1861 in order TO
catch the fever of national. pride-how
Vermont sprang to arms, literally, when
President Lincoln issued his appeal for
volunteers. The same day that Presi-
dent Lincoln issued his proclamation,
Governor Fairbanks of Vermont echoed
the call with another proclamation
whereupon Nermonters locked to the col
ors in such numbers that one, two, three,
four, five and six regiments were raised
