There we're only four Vermont
towns that did not furnish a man for
the war, according to the records in
the Office of the adjutant general Ben
nington county contains one of these
towns. 1t is Glastonbury which at
the last census was accredited with a
population of only 80 The young
men raised in that town are all out
in the world doing service for man
kind; but when summoned by the
draft, were credited to the towns in
which they then resided And no
doubt the same holds true with the
other three towns that are not credit
ed with a soldiers-Kirby, Baltimore
and Fletcher.

The speakership contest seems to
lave narrowed down to Addison E.
Cudworth of Londonderry, Charles S.
Dana of New Haven and M. H. Alex
antler of St Adams All three have
lad previous experience in the legis-
latIre and Mr.. Dana was elected
speaker in 1917 near the close of the
session to fill the vacancy due to the
resignation of Judge Wilson. All
three are patriotic Vermonters and
the House is not likely to go very far
wrong whichever one it may choose.
Because of his being so near a
neighbor and his acquaintanceship in
this county, tits probable that Mr.
Cudworth will get a majority of the
VOTES from Bennington county.

himself and ask odds of no one. The
Chinese beggar in Il foreign land Is
unknown. He is misery and lives
cheaply only when circumstances com
pei When prosperity smiles there is
no more generous people. As "A trader

Bonspiel, one of the most enjoyable

Minot has developed some mighty
good players but Moosejaw has been
curling longer and they really have
some Of the very best Kinks in Canada.
For instance the rink that was de-
feated by DR.. Archie D.. McCannel's
rink had won 26 consecutive games at
the Winnipeg Bonspiel.
The ice was slow for Tuesdays
