good secondhand cars, and nearly ev-
cry automobile owner now has begun
to realize if he has a good car It Is
going to be for his interest to have Il
fixed up and run it another year rather
than buy new one. The chances are
his old secondhand car is going to be
better than a new one would be.
"The middle class of people (those
considered comfortably well Off, are
going to curtail their expenses and
live on more economical basis. The
laboring people are going to get the
money and will naturally spend most
OF it. This means that the middle
class are going to have their old cars
fixed up.
eve do not believe there will be
any Communicating or limited sale of
gasoline in this country in 1918. for
the reason that while the allies de-
mand is enormous, there are not tank
age facilities for getting any more
there than they are sending now, and
as long as production keeps up as it is
at present, there will be no sense in
limiting the price or the consumption
of it.

MAY SEE COMET
DURING WINTER

1t is said that gigantic comet, out
classing in size and brilliancy all
those seen in modern times, including
Halley's, is speeding through the So
lar system toward the sun at the ap-
proximate rate of 1,134,246 miles a
day.
The comet will be thing of glory
in the northwestern sky this coming
winter, probably remaining visible fo1
three months. To illustrate the size of
this new member of the solar system
recall the fact that Halley's comet
which held the center of the stlla1
stage in 1911, was seen through the
great telescopes eight months before
perihelion, the closest approach of g
planet to the sun.
The new comet was seen fourteen
months before perihelion or six months
earlier than Halley's was seen OF
sought for.

.SECOND. HAND CAR
DEMAND PREDICTED

It is possible. If not probable, that
the government will soon forbid the
further production of pleasure auto
mobiles during the period of the war,
according to reports from Washing
ton, and with this respect the follow
ing extract from letter received this
week by local auto agency from a
large manufacturing concern of Cleve
land, is significant. The writer says:
"The sale of new cars next year Is
going to be decreased very materially,
especially medium priced cars. There
will be big demand for real cheap
cars and for real expensive cars, but
an enormous business will be done in

ORDER LIME NOW

Orders should be placed at this time
by farmers who intend to use lime on
their land in order to increase next
seasons crop. If orders are placed
at the present time, the manufacturers
will be able to supply the agricultural
needs. By being given orders now
they will have six or eight months in
which to prepare the necessary supply
whereas they will be swamped if the
orders all come next spring.
Lime applied in the fall or winter
is as effective as when applied in the
spring. Fall and winter applications
Of lime is urged as good farm prac.
tice and also as an emergency wal
measure. By following this sugges
tion farmers will be improving thei1
land SO as to turn out the largest pos
sible yield.

THRIFT THOTTGHT

Spread the meat flavor over other
foods, and so economize on the guam

States Department of Agriculture
Here is one way to spread the flavor:
Make stew from a cheap cut of
meat, cut into small pieces, potatoes
and such other vegetables as desired
Thicken with little -four diluted with
cold water. Serve with dumplings
made as follows:

Mix and sift one cup of flour, two

Roii out one-half inch thick and cut
with biscuit cutter or in square piec-

baked like biscuits, or cooked with the
stew. In the latter case remove enough
liquid to permit the dough to be plac-

CHRISTMAS CAROLS SUNG
Pleasant Surprise 10 Shut'lns
Other Features Of Holiday

Middlebury enjoyed beautiful Christ
mas weather, and celebrated the festi-
val as usual in church and home with
only few differences caused by war
time conditions, On Christmas eve
there were large number Of the homes
which made effective display Of the Red
Cross flag by illumination, and rs Il new
feature there was carol singing about
the town,
The older members of the Sunday
school Of ST, stephens Episcopal
church, following their Christmas yes
per service nj the church on Monday
evening, visited various places in a hay
rack, furnished and driven by Branerd
Lane, The Rev, h, b. Holmes, rector,
followed the party In his automobile
and led IN the singing in which over %
voices joined, A particular point was
made to visit the homes of persons who
were i'll, ana much appreciation was
shown for the efforts of the carol party.
Later the party returned to the church
where hot supper was served in the
guild room.
As usual the most elaborate service
was at st. Mary's Catholic church, its
beautiful edifce on College street being
filled with several hundred worshipers
at the midnight Mass. The Mass was
celebrated by the Rev. Father Nicoll, a
priest from st, Mchae's College in
Winooski. Rosewig's Mass in f was
sung by the choir. There were two
Masses Christmas day the children's
Mass at 8 o'clock, and a low Mass at 10
o'clock.
AS whole the children probably had
little knowledge of the fact that they
were being denied anything because Of
war time conditions. There were per-
haps fewer Christmas trees in the
homes of the villagers, but there were
still many Of them, and a number of
family reunions. There were few of
the Addison County soldiers home from
camp but it appears from a letter
which Roy Harris writes in another
column that the lads had a good time at
Devens.
