 When the Equitable Motion Pic lures Corporation decided to produce the film version of '"Trilby" they de- cided to make it as great or even greater success, sparing no pains or expense to make this, their first pro- duction, worthy of "Trilby's" pre- ceding presentations
 Under the direction of Maurice Tourneur with Clara Kimball Young and Wilton Lackaye, two of the screen and stages most popular dra- matic stars, in the stellar roles, sup ported by Chester Barnett, Paul Me Allister and an all-star cast, "Tril- by" surpassed the expectations of all concerned.
 When presented at the 44th St. Theatre, New York, in it's film form, "Trilby," which comes to the Coliseum theatre tomorrow night, was lauded by press and public as being the best 5-reel feature pro- duction ever produced.

 The real sensation of the past month among scandal mongers at the Lasky studio in California has been the fact that old Bill Hart was seen in the act of pouring tea at a Red Cross benefit.

 The A. A. T. A. is to club shoots what the Interstate Association is to registered shoots. AS the Inter- state Association regulates the reg. istered shoots, contributes money any trophies to them, and complies the averages of the shooters who participate, so the A. A. T. A. con. fines its attention to the club shoot features.
 new department has been organ. ized to keep a record of scores made at club shoots by all shooters. From these records will be compiled quar. terly official club shoot averages. The compilation and publication of club shoot averages of the entire shoot. ing body of the United States and Canada is large undertaking. but such records will prove invaluable to Handicap Classification Commit. tees, partly in view of the fact that class shooting is becoming moro popular every day.
 At this time when there Is i'm. perative need of more universal knowledge of fire arms. and when ey. cry man requires regular periods Of recreation and outdoor exercise to keep himself physically fit for his work, trapshooting has been sptly termed the Patriotic Sport" fes
 Many of the members of the \. A. T. A. are already enrolled h the service and will be able, to, give . good account of themselves when called upon because they already know how to shoot. handle and take care of a gun. Lord Roberts once said, Shooting is seven-tenths of . soldiers business" F
 Because trap shooting will fit ths young men to be trained more quick ly if needed, in the service. because trapshooting takes men out in the open to meet their fellows in friend ly competition and sends them back to their work healthier and moro ef- ficient: and because trapshooting Is so easily available for all men. the American Amateur Trapshooters' As- sociation expects to make 1918 . banner year.

Lightnimg Flash Cost $500.

In Saint, Devil and Woman" a Thanhouser feature directed by F Sullivan, starring Florence LaBadie, flash of lightning that strikes a vase in a garden, plays an import ant part. The lightning scene con- sumes only six feet of film but the making of those six feet cost the Thanhouser Company nearly $500. A section of garden was set up in the studio. Over it was placed huge tank, with holes in the bot tom. The propeller of an aero plane was attached to a motor so as to make the windstorm. Electric connections were made to produce the flash of lightning that struck and shattered the vase.
 At the appointed time, d stream of Water was turned into the tank, furnishing rain. The aeroplane pro- peller blew the shrubbery, the cam era man turned his crank The electrician flashed the lightning and the vase was struck in terrific storm.
 Then the camera man found that it had been done wrong. Fourteen men worked two days on the scene before Director Sullivan was satis- fled. with the effect. Six statues, seven urns, and five pedestals were broken in the making of it.

The little sevenyear-old William Fox screen star, who, with her sister, Jane, five years old, is appearing in Two Little Imps," the latest big Fox photoplay, is some thing of leading lady, in the matter of sewing too. Granny, some of the other actors at the studio in Fort Lee, N. J., call her.
 She can thread needle as fast as ony one. Her hand is steady and her eye sure. The only thing she doesn't do of her own initiative is to think up new. things the sol diers need. But her mother, the ever reliant and relied on mother, tells her and she is fast learning the entire stock.
 Each detail of her work is just 50 and somewhere in France there must be soldiers who are uttering a prayer for little Katherine Lee.

BAPTISTS WINNING
IN BIG CAMPAIGN
Million Dollar Fund Gets
Good Backing Here
Middlebury Church Raises $500 in
Seven Minutes-Campaign
Ends Next Sunday

Toward the Million Dollar Fund
which the Northern Baptist Laymen
are trying to raise before March 3lst
the Memorial Baptist Church of Mid.
dlebury made a remarkable demon
stration OF support at last Sunday
mornings service when, with the pro-
gram entirely in the hands OF the lay
men, $500 was raised in seven minutes
time. The Middlebury church has
only 7S members, and in pledging 5000
it has subscribed more than half OF the
$525 that the Addison County Baptist
Association was allotted as its part of
the campaign.
The services at the church last Sun
day were unique, The Rev, Roy L.
Whittemore laid aside his preacher
coat" and the service was entirely in
the hands of the laymen. Prof. Ray
mond Mcfarland, State Campaign
Director, was in charge and declared
that in these dark challenging days
of war the church of Christ must do
something big and worth while in or
der to meet the challenge of the Ger
mans who say Christianity has
failed" The home the school and the
state had each answered the challenge
of war, and so must the church, or ut
terly lose her influence, he said. DR..
Howard L. Averill, Prof. w, G. Foye
and DR.. A. D. Barter assisted in the
service.
At the close of the worship an ap-
peal for funds was made, and Mrs
Emily Ilsley, widow OF Colonel S. A.
Ilsley, who has been such support to
the church, headed the subscription
list with $l00, on condition that the
church raise an equal amount. Within
seven minutes the amount asked for
was doubled. This was done in spite
of the fact that the meeting was not
largely attended, and no special in
fluence was brought to bear previous to
the service.
The Rev. Mr.. Whittemore, who sat
in the audience and had a complete
rest from his usual Sunday duties,
said: at is a splendid response from
a mere handful of people and is just
another illustration of the new spirit
of sacrifice and devotion which is COM
ing to characterize Christian people
everywhere in these new days"
Director Mcfarland, who has been
hustling to take care of the $1,000 which
is Vermont's share in the Fund, is en-
couraged with the response that church
laymen everywhere are making. Three
fourths of the $1,000 has already been
pledged by 40 churches, leaving the
final success of the campaign depen-
dent upon how well the smaller
churches can respond. The laymen at
Brattleboro started the campaign by
raising SS76, the first week of the drive,
at the rate of Sl25 day. and they ex-
pect to raise $1,000 before they stop.
The Million Dollars is to be used to
carry on the regular work of the de-
nomination and to help care for Bap-
tist soldiers at army cantonments, as
well as for the regular home and for
eign missionary activity.

To the Editor Of The Register =

To the Editor OF The Register
The crucial test OF our support OF the
War will come with the Third Liberty
Loan, April 6. All of us must save
and sacrifice to make of this the grand
showing of Americas power. While
many OF us were surprised and gratifed
at the amounts and number OF the sub
scriptions made in the county to the
Second Liberty Loan, it was disap-
pointing to our pride that we did not
reach our allotment or do as well in
this respect as did most of the other
counties of the state, Vergennes alone
of the four districts of the county
went "over the top. The method Of
dividing the appointments has been
made more favorable to us for the
Third Loan. The Government also Of
fers Liberty Loan Service Flag to
every town that reaches its quota, with
an added star if the quota is doubled,
and two stars if tripled. We must win
our flag and a star or two would add
much to its beauty.
No reader OF the daily news can es-
cape the conviction that we are now
facing the hardest and most tremen-
dous struggle in the history of the
world. Any lukewarmness of effort on
the part of any individual may cost us
the loss of Christianity and OF civiliza-
ton.
The amount and terms Of the Third
Loan are not yet announced but the
organization is being completed this
week, in order that no dollar, loose in
the land, may escape when the drive
comes, The money can only come by
sacrifice, but it must come to the last
dollar asked for 1t is expected that
the terms of the loan will render it an
attractive investment If any invest
ment is safe this one will be, every
whit as safe as the currency i'll our
pocket books, and more so if regis
tered.
Many inquiries are made as to in
vesting trust funds The Probate
Court will encourage the investment
of all trust funds not already safely
invested and earning a higher rate of
interest than the Government offers in
this Liberty Loan, provided the bonds
are registered. Investment of trust
funds in coupon bonds will be dis
couraged, Change of safely invested
trust funds now earning higher rate
of interest will be discouraged unless
the benefciaries so request.
When local parties bank elsewhere
than in Middlebury, they should see
that the credit OF their subscription
is given to their home town on blanks
furnished by the Government for this
purpose, or better yet, draw on their
bank through the local bank Failure
to receive credit for such subscriptions
in the previous loans largely explains
why Addison County's showing was
not better Patriots desiring to help
the town doubly can give a portion or
all OF the funds purchased toward the
Middlebury College 100000 Endow-
ment Fund.
