A CALL TO OUR LOYALTY.

Fellow citizens: An other call
to our loyalty has been sounded.
Another sacrifice must be made,
Uncle Sam needs men at one for
the navy. We must not fail him
now. Yale is asked to furnish
three men. Who will answer "here
Am l, Send me-" No. better induce
ment could be offered. A greater
opportunity cannot be found for
our men to serve this country in
the making the world safe for de-
mocracy. Without the navy our
army would be of little use. The
boys must cross the high seas and
commerce must be cared for. The
navy does the work. Men who have
been called and examined by the
army Draft Board as we'll as those
who have not been called are eli
gible for navy service on or be-
fore Dec. 18th. have been urgent
ly requested to make this appeal
by Liutenant Coleman, officer in
charge of this district, and as
your servant, / earnestly request
your loyal cooperation in this
hour of our National crisis.
Respectfully yours,
Herb. T. Hennessy, Mayor.

everything possible to secure a record

BIG DEMAND FOR PLOUGHING
Villagers Have to Wait Their Turn
to Get Their Gardens Ready.

There is no doubt that the crops in
Middlebury village are going to break
all records this year. Men who do
garden ploughing report getting more
orders than they can handle, some hav-
ing ploughing engagements for two
weeks or so ahead. 1t is estimated that
there will be three gardens in Middle
bury this year to every one that was
planted last year, and among those who
have always at least patch, the ten
dency is to extend it this. year right up
to the fence and even encroach upon the
front lawn. And why not? Potato
plants, climbing beans and tasselled
corn now make about as luxurious a
scenic prospect as potted palms or
century plants.

NO PLOT SUSPECTED
Dynamite on Local Bridge Prob
ably fishermans CHARGE.

The half-pound stick of dynamite
which was found last Friday morning
by Private Burrows of Company D.,
lst Reg. V. N. g., less than "a hours
after he and seven comrades came here
to guard the steel railroad bridge, has
been the subject of much speculation by
the guardsmen. After a weeks con-
sideration, it has been pretty definitely
determined that the dynamite was not
placed under the bridge with any intent
to do damage.
In all probability the dynamite had
been resting peacefully on one of. the
lower Orders of the bridge for a long
time - perhaps a year, Dynamite
ordinarily has wax coating, but the
wax on this stick had been washed off,
and Private Burrows who has worked
with dynamite, was regarded as eX-
pressing an experts opinion when he
said the dynamite had probably been eX-
posed to the weather for full year.
Major Cooley, commanding the First
Battalion of the 1st Regiment V. N.
G., who were here this week inspecting
the local guard, thoroughly considered
the dynamite scare, and deciding that no
Germans were mixed up in it, ordered
the dynamite thrown into the Otter
Creek. Chief of Police Chatfee gave a
clue to the mystery by saying that over
a year ago number of Italians were
known to be using dynamite to kill
fish. Their method was to light the
fuse of stick of dynamite and drop it
into the river. The fish were attracted
by the fumes of the fuse, and when the
explosion came they were stunned and
rose to the surface, being easily col
lected. This is unlawful, and Chief
Chaffee at that time broke up the
practice. 1t is probable that the fisher
men then left one of their charges be-
hind.
