However, as both fuel and grain are neces-

can get no relief unless the food administra-

the fuel administration does.

SEEN ON THE SIDE
By HENRY EDWARD WARNER
We Folk. WIZ liz.

We folks who live in wales of ease
Think many kinds Of foolish things.
Ignoring all LIES Q's and Pc
And fiuttering on crippled wings:
Seeing the stars and building hopes
On hlmy mists OF promise We
Calmly ignore the blind that Kropes
And join that multitude who see.
The stubble at our feet Is nauEht:
The reefs on which the tempest breaks
Sound no fair warning as they oupbt.
Shrill is the cry our Ego takes.
In calm. in selfsufficient mood.
We bridge or we ignore the gaps,
And with LIES dumb majority. brood
Depend on Luck and WOO Perhaps!

Track Meet Notes.

Rutland and Brattleboro will send
teams to the track meet in ST. Johns
bury next Saturday.
Last year Brattleboro won tho meet
with 51k points, Rutland being second
with So, followed by Keene with 20,
Bellows Falls 6 and Hinsdale /.
Smith of st. Johnsbury, who won the
javelin throw at 131 feet inches, had
never seen javelin contest or a iavelin
before. He is powerfully built athlete
and with proper coaching would make a
hard man to beat in the weight events.
Local high school students were
pleased to see Vinton and Barrows,
both seniors, win points for the first
time, and therefore get their letters.
The former tied with Moran and
Stearns in the high jump and the Hat
ter with Moran in the pole vault.
Keene S poor showing was one of the
surprises. 1t was expected that the
heavyweights from New Hampshire
would take large part of the points in
the field events, but barring one second
they failed to have man placed in
the weight events.
Martin Austin was the most satisfac-
tory announcer who has ever officiated
at an interscholastic meet. In addition
to giving the results of the events he
kept the spectators informed of the
men who would compete in each con-
test, thus avoiding lot of confusion
and misunderstanding.
While the meet was productive of
many records it was peculiar in one
respect. Aside from the curtain-closer
in which Hanley and Betterley ran al
most dead heat all the track finishes
were by large margins. Sullivan in the
distance runs and Moran in the sprints
and hurdles had no real competition.
Davis will be swell performer in
the distances next year. He has fine
form and plenty of stamina. With a
little more experience he will be an ex-
tremely fast miller for high school
athlete. Little Manning was a game
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1918-05-27

sport, and although he did not get a
point he ran good races in both mile and
half mile
The only records of the day which
stood the test were Moran's 100 yards
IN 10 Is, made last year; M. Haskell S
shot put of Al feet inches, made in
1915; Murphy's high jump of 5 feet 6
inches, which the Bellows Falls boy
made in 1914; the 220-yard low hurdles,
u seconds, H. Tasker's mark in 1908,
and the 40 run, which o 'Brien of Rut-
land put at SO is seconds last year.
The l00-yard and shot put records are
likely to stand for years. 81.
Odd Fellows hall was scene of fes-
tivity Saturday evening, when the cup
was presented to the Rutland team and
all of the individual prizes were
awarded by Principal Smith, who recog-
nized not only the good work of the win
ners, but of some of the contestants who
trained faithfully and who tried hard
to win for the honor of the school. All
of the young athletes were applauded
and cheered when they stepped forward
to receive their prizes. After the ex-
ercises were over dancing was enjoyed
by the young people until II o. clock.
