Miss Emma Fuller's address was full
OF practical suggestions. She began by
saying that as she was the first Woman
Demonstration in Vermont, she was her
self an experiment. but iron the way
she handed the important questions OF
the patriotic duty of every woman tc
do her bit she seems q successful eX-
pertinent, In referring to the conserVa-
ton Of wheat, she recommended the
coarser fours as more wholesome food.
As TO the use of corn meal, she SAID,
even if II is more expensive it should be
used as II Is too pershable to be ship
ped in large quantities to our army
abroad. She advised women to have
meatlesss days that the boys may have
meat. The Wheatless days were pri.
marly for large institutions. In private
! families the spirit of the obligation,
could be met by having six or more
wheatess meals each week, and these
should be made matter Of conscience
Wooen stuffs and fuel should be a,
carefully conserved as food. She recon.
meoded a tire-less cooker that could be
obtained at reasonable price as an aiC
to fuel-seying and also help to the
housewife. She urged the duty OF
every woman to tuy Liberty Bond

smsllFire At College

An overheated electric fiat iron was
responsible for an alarm of fire at
Hillside Cottage at the College about
seven o'clock Monday evening and the
new fire truck made its first appear
ance. On its arrival at the scene the
fire was out. The blaze was discovered
by Miss Roberts who detected the
smoke when going to supper at the cot
tage. She Immediately telephoned in
the alarm. A number of people who
happened TO be near put out the blaze.
The loss is small and covered byLin-
surance. The fire, however, was dis
covered just in the nick Of time to pre-
vent serious consequences.

The series of union evening services
in which the Memorial Baptist, the Con-
gregational and the Methodist churches
are uniting will give the community the
privilege of hearing a number of well
known speakers during the Fall and
Winter. Mrs. Ida Vose Woodbury. of
Boston who speaks at the Congrega'
tional church next Sunday evening has
had an experience which has made her
an authority ON modern civic and social
social problems. Her ability in pre-
sentation of these problems has given
her national reputation as an inter
esting and forceful speaker. She will
give a patriotic address next Sunday
evening and will doubtless he wei

Our well intentioned newspaper
neighbor in Vergennes was led into a
regretable error in a recent editorial,
indicating that the cost Of education in
the Middlebury High school was Sl57
per pupil per year as compared with 500
in Bristol which had the same number
of pupils as Middlebury" The Yer
gennes Enterprise asked why does
Middlebury have to pay so much, or
does the difference in price represent a
difference in value?"
The Register learns from chairman
Ira H. LaFleur of the School Commit
tee that the comparison is altogether
unjustifed ard he cites the correct
figures, which show that the cost of
education in the Middlebury High
sci col for the last fiscal year was only
$5G per pupil, instesl of Sl57 as the
Vergennes editoria, mistakenly stated
purporting to quote from the table pre-
pared by the Stat, Commissioner of
Education.
The total expenditure for the main,
tenance of both our mgh school and the
grades for the last fiscal year was only
49, 1865. There was total enrolment
of asa pupils, making the cost per pupil
only 1851 In the High school alone
there were 1876 pupils, instead Of 70 as
reported, and as the estimated cost Of
maintaining the high school was only
$1,000, the cost per pupil was only
S56,l2, Moreover, this estimate of
cost includes Sl676.9O interest anC
coupons paid, and if these had been de.
Quoted it would place the cost per pupi
at only SAL 81 per year.
MddIebury therefore, instead Of
appearing as spending an un-
reasonably large sum for high schoo
education, is, as matter of fact,
probably standing lower than the
average in cost, and as to the com
parison of the value received, it car
only be said that Middlebury is very
proud of her schools, and whether the
expenditure per pupil is dollar more
or less, Middlebury is very we'll salts
fed with the results obtained.

From the very first, women have
played a big part in this war. Not con-
tent to rest in their endeavors, they
have initiated nation wide campaign
to promote the second big Liberty Loan,
and have organized for this purpose in
every state in the Union.
The Liberty Bond is one of the best
and safest investments in the world 1t
is guaranteed by all the resources of
the Government. 1t pays good interest,
1t is negotiable, and can be converted
into cash at its market value. 1t is
the safest, surest and steadiest in
vestment that man or woman can make
today. They are particularly valuable
to women who wish to invest their
funds so as to remain under their own
jurisdiction.
If any woman wants to secure a
Liberty Bond, and does not know how
to 60 about it, she may get the neces-
sary information if she will drop a
postal card to Mrs. l.. j. Hathaway of
Middlebury, who has been appointed
chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan
committee for.Addison County.
