With the anticipated abatement of
the arctic weather, several Addison
County farmers and their wives are
looking forward to the winter meeting
of the Addison County Farmers Asso-
citation in Middlebury next Wednesday,
expecting to see the largest gathering
of the kind the County has ever known.
Every effort has been made to arrange
an instructive and interesting program,
The growth OF the organization has
been such the past year that it is hoped
that at least 400 men and women will
attend this annual meeting. Last year
there were about 200 present but the
farmers wife was not then so closely
interested as has been the case since
the outbreak of the war; owing to the
inauguration of the home demonstration
department, which has enrolled large
membership under the leadership of
Miss Emma Fuller,
The Joint meeting of men and women
will convene in the Town Hall in Mid
dlebury at 10 O'Clock on Wednesday
morning, and discuss and conduct some
Of the business Of both the agricultural
and home demonstration department.

Secretary Wainwright has asked The
Register to call attention to the fact
that registrants receiving classification
cards should not be confused regarding
the instructions for appeal which appear
at the bottom of the card. The law pro-
vides that if registrants are dissatisfied
with the classification they have re-
ceived they may enter claim of appeal
within five days. A number of regis
trants have misinterpreted the instruc-
tions as an order for their appearance
before the Local Board within five days
in any case, whether they desire to
make an appeal or not. These instruc-
tions are only for those who desire to
file an appeal, and even they may avoid
coming to Middlebury if they desire to
appoint someone here to enter the ap-
peal for them and if they so advise the
Local Board.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Jan. 17.-As a result
of the action of the fuel admlnlstra-
tor, cotton had a violent and semi
demoralizezd opening today with
first prices from SO to 81 points
lower. March contracts on the call
were even lower, selling at 20 cents,
or a drop of 202 points, exceeding
SO per bale January sold at 30
cents, a break of 1877 points. Late
positions opened from 35 to 80 points
lower
The excessive weakness in near
positions was due to the execution
of a large number of stop orders
which were not present in the later
months. It was feared the holiday
period ordered wolld have a drastic
effect upon the market.
January contracts sold down to 30
cents and March to 20 cents on the
first call. It was feared that the
holiday orders would mean a heavs
decline in consumption by the New
England mills.
Almost as rapidly as it broke. the
market had a later rally which car
ried prices from 35 to $50 points
above the lowest level with March
showing the greatest advance on sales
back to $3.50. May rallied from
29.50 to 30.15 and at the end of the
first half hour the market was only
about 80 points under the precious
night. There was heavy covering by
some big shorts, together with New
Orleans and Southern buying and a
bic demand from the trade and Liv
erpool. Southern advices indicated
that holders of spots were not af-
fected by the temporary break in
futures.
Late forenoon wires from the
South Southern mills influenced by
the firnnness of holders, had been
large buyers of contracts on the
early break. This with continued
trade buying from other quarters
kept the market very steady around
midday, at which time prices were 81
to AZ points net lower with March
selling at 30.59; May 1922 and July
29.93. Much of the excitement at
tending the opening of the market
had disappeared and it seemed to be-
come more settled with disposition
to take a calmer view of the fuel
situation.
Increasing pressure of the after
noon caused covering and the market
sold off from 80 points from the top
with March trading at 5000 and
MAY 1896. A steady demand from
trade interests however absorbed the
offerings fairly well and prevented
any return of the decentralization
which was noted in the first hour.
The market closed barely steady.

months, there must always have been
four new airships on the stocks at
the same time.
Most of the Zeppelins launched
into the air before the war came to
grief, thus leaving in the service of
the German army and navy fleet of
less than a dozen when fighting be-
gan. Since then nearly all the dir
igibles old and new have been handed
over to the German navy, which has
used them for many kinds of work,
such as bombarding expeditions, pro-
