FROM EVERYWHERE.

Barrow has won the praise and adj
miration of the biggest men in base
ball for the great fight he made IN
behalf of the International league. He
is classed as the greatest minor league
executive in the business, and in abll-
ity and a knowle6 ge of baseball he is
practical in the same row with John
K. Tener and Ban il hlson.
Getting away from the international
is perhaps tn best move Barrow could
hav made. 1t is quite true that the
magnates Felt unable pay his salary,
yet their action was the most unde-
se-ved thing that has ever happened
to a league president, and nobody
bl .med Barrow for quitting.
But such is the merry, merry life IN
the minors.

Echoes From the South

"The ministers of Middlebury protest
strongly against having to pay for the
insertion of church notices in the Mid
dlebury Register There is some excuse
for expecting that a privilege that has
been granted for years will always con-
tinue to be granted, but there is no ex-
Cuse for accepting a favor and then as
Stunning it to be vested right News
papers, like churches, have to exist by
means of the income they receive, and
there is no more reason why church
should ask for free publicity than there
is for asking minister to preach for
nothing. Church notices which are of
news interest to the subscribers, how
ever, are always printed without charge.
1t ought to be possible for editors and
ministers to get together on this ground
without difficulty if both will be a little
tolerant Brattleboro Reformer.
The ministers of Middlebury and the
Register ought to have no difficulty in
coming to an understanding on basis
similar to that in force in Bennington
Brattleboro, Barre and other towns.
This is in brief that the churches pay
for advertising of entertainments, sup
pers or other inCome-producing efforts,
and that the newspaper insert as news
and free of charge the items about re-
ligious and social meetings and church
activities from which no income is dir
ectly derived. Newspapers live chiefly
on what they get for advertising and
cannot exist if they give away their
space even for good objects. The
churches and orher organizations like
fraternal societies, public welfare aids,
etc, ought to be the last to object to
paying for publicity designed to return
profit to the Notwithstanding
ton Banner.

Fish And Game League Appeal

]. o, Howarth Secretary of the Adj
olson County Fish and Game League,
is sending a circular letter to all men,
bers of the League, asking them to send
in their annual dues and to also inter-
est themselves in trying to get new
members. This appeal is necessary by
reason of the low conditions of the
treasury as a result of no outing last
summer, this event being the big round.
up and occasion for payment of dues.
In this letter the Secretary says
MANY who do not take part in the
planting OF fish fry in our lakes and
streams have no idea of Che amount of
labor it requires, all of which is done
gratis, but the transportation from the
railroad station has in many cases to be
paid for For instance, a shipment of
20 cans, holding 80 gallons of water
each and a total of 10000 fry calls for
a large motor truck; and when YOU
think that few members Of the League
last fall planted over 100000 lake trout
in Lake Dunmore alone, to say nothing
of the brook trout, SteclheadS, land
locked salmon and bass, perch, etc,
YOU will realize what it means in a year
or two as to food value, aside from the
sport
Dues may be forwarded either to
Secretary Howarth at Middlebury or
to the treasurer, W. II. Wheeler at YER
