he Register is in receipt of the fol-
loving from Judge Button:
The kind words quoted in your last
issue from the Vergennes Enterprise
and endorsed by you, are much appre-
Grated as they were totally a surprise.
l often wish | were an editor. and so
could enjoy the harmless pastime of
conierring some of these pleasing words
upon many deserving friends. Thev
brighten life both for the recipient and
the editor | am sure, Thank you/
Needless to say l am not a candidate
for the office of attorney general and
have never dreamed of being.
Charles l. Button
We do not believe Judge Button
would have been indulging his fancy
greatly if he had dreamed of filling the
office OF attorney general, but we are
glad that he isn't dreaming of desert
ing the Probate Office over which he
has presided so efficiently. He will
stand as candidate for reelection to his
present position and in this he is as
sured OF the heartiest support.

Was still light, both commands escorted
the colurs across the field and IN review
before Governor Graham The band,
seated In circle In front Of the grand
stand, played many popular selections
and the whole grandstand shook with
the returned applause,
In the twilight the Red Cross ladies
in their flowing headdress Fitted about
the Wandstand dispensing ice cream
In their dism0unted cavalry drill, the
ladies OF Charlotte were somewhat han
dicapped by the growing darkness, but
they made an excellent show Many
Of the spectators were led 70 ask who
were these ladies OF Charlotte, The an
swer Is that they are thirty'siX young
ladies Of that patriotic Vermont town
north OF as who, learning that their
local Red Cross was sorely in need OF
funds, organized themselves into mill
tary company and under command Of
Major Melrose, who is a former Can
adam cavalry officer, drilled until they
became proficient enough 10 give the
excellent exhibition which they present
ed here,
The four,minute speeches by Gov
crn0r Graham and President Thomas,
with Judge Weeks presiding, were cut

darkness was descending upon the scene,
President Thomas made a hit when he
referred to a ball game on Porter Field

Middlebury from us old rival, Vermont,
IN the last half Of the ninth inning,
"And this war isn't won yet" he shout
cd. "Ihe Germans are strong yet, We
have got to keep pushing them to the
Rhine and on TO Berlin" Governor
Graham spoke OF a visit he had made
the day before to Fort Ticonderoga and
said that Addison County should feel
deeply the significance OF having this
shrine Of freedom so nearby He re-
viewed the history OF some OF those ear
~ conflicts, out Of which, then fighting
against each other, England, France
and America had emerged almost as one
nation now to fight the cause Of free

The shades Of night had fallen by the
time the Signal Corps men were called
on TO the field, and there was some dis
appointment that their dress parade
and retreat and other features OF the
program could not be fully carried out.
The myriad Of automobile lights turned
onto the drilling field helped somewhat
but not much A stirring finish was
given however, with the final singing Of

A billion dollar sunset for s. cents
was the bargain which spectators had
at the Red Cross benefit on Porter
Field last Tuesday evening.
Thrfe may be some spot known to
globe trotters where the horizon pre-
sents a more colorful picture than that
which was witnessed by Addison Coun-
ty last Tuesday evening but we have
yet to be convinced on this point.
Having undergone a publication by
the storm, the sky on Tuesday evening
was one vast kaleidoscope of color
There were strata of blue of most deli
cate hues, flames of red of gorgeous ex-
panse, and pufs of fleece with pinkish
tintings" An artist who put them on
canvas would have been thought guilty
OF extravaganza, but Nature blended
them eXqustely to the admiration of
all who beheld her wonderful handi-
work.
And gazing upon it, enveloping, as it
did, the entire West in one great en-
brace of glowing warmth, who could
interpret 1t other than Gods own wav
OF blessing these United States.

Fire Department Gets Needless Call

The fire department responded to an
alarm sounded about O'Clock Tuesday
morning for a fire in a hugh pile OF
shavings on the property of the Hor-
tonia Light and Power company situat-
ed near what is known as the Pulp Mill
bridge on Seymour street, and formerly
occupied for many years by the Green
Mountain Pulp company. The depart
ment was promptly on the scene, but
the apparatus was not brought into use
as the rain was falling torrents at the
time and soon put out the blaze. The
employees of the Hortonia company at
tempted to burn the pile of refuse Mon
day, and at the close of work extin-
guished the fire. as they thought, but
the high wind during the night famed
the smoulderiing embers into blaze
and one of the residents in that locality
upon seeing it thought that one of the
dwellings in the neighborhood was on
fire and sounded the alarm. No damage
was done but the members of the fire
department received a thorough soak
ing from the heavy downpour,

Improvements to the raceway. A cof-

way and Otter Creek and the company
will blast out the ledge and make bet

Judge Weeks may feel some satisfac-
ton that with the appointment Of DR..
Truman J. Allen of Waterbury as SUI
perintendent OF the School for Feeble
Minded at Brandon he has filled prac-
tically all executive positions in the
state institutions with Nermonters, He
has been working toward that goal with
the belief that our own men best under
stand our needs, 1t is certain that in
such a position as that at Brandon re-
curing a large amount Of sympathetic
interest with the work in hand, it is
most desirable to have a Nermontet in
charge. Dr. Aliens experience as a ply
sician, and as an institution man at the
asylum in Waterbury should also prove
valuable in making success Of his po-
sition at Brandon
