"Wilson-That's All
Editor of The Register.
Bristol, Vt,

Bristol, VT
June 2G, 1918,
Editor of The Register:
Dear Sir
If Myron w. Wilson of Bristol is
nominated and elected as one of the
two state senator's from Addison Coun-
ty, he will well represent his county and
his state. Why;
First: He is matured by long expert
ence in close contact with the business
and political activities of the state, This
maturity has given him a sound judg-
ment on matters likely to come before
a senator, an intellect seasoned by
working out for years the problems that
come to one who grapples without
flinching with everything important for
success in a business career,
Second: His occupation of printer
and publisher is one that especially
trains the intellect and schools the UNI
derstanding, while it brings the one fol-
lowing it each day into direct contact
with the questions of government and
of business with which legislator most
has to deal The printer and publisher
is, then, we'll trained to do the work at
Montpelier.
Third: He has had creditable eX-
perence in the lower house. Represen-
tative Wilson was always in his seat
when important measures were under
consideration. He "ducked" no situa-
ton but placed his record where all
might read it after careful study of
the pending bill. He introduced and
consistently advocated the bill max
ing it obligatory upon the state to buy
the text books, whereby under able
management large order for school
books would have been placed at
great saving in cost as compared with
the piecemeal purchases of the present,
often made by those untitled to make
the selection and obliging the pupil
moving from one section of the state to
another often to encounter an entire
change in textbooks.
Fourth: Mr.. Wilson is honest, fair
minded and courageous. He is owned
by no man or set of men. He is not
bigoted but is open to conviction to the
last. He would bring wise intelli-
gence and a ripe experience to bear up
on legislative matters. He would "be
just and fear not. He would be
credit to Vermont.

Seven Orphans

There are many pretty, as well as
ugly, sidelights to the war. One of the
happier ones is the JOY which the wom-
en- of the Middlebury Suffrage Study
Club will themselves experience and
which they will bring to Others in their
adoption" of seven little French or
phans, negotiations for which were con-
Guided this week by the despatch Of
Sl40, a sum that was realized by re-
cent rummage SALE to the Committee
at Lyons.
In appreciation, the local women have
received letter saying that pictures of
the orphans who are to be adopted will
be sent here, and the cure of the little
French village will undertake to write
some information about the children
and keep the Middlebury women in
touch with the careers of the little waits
The children will also be encouraged to
write to their benefactors.
There is something particularly pic
turesque in the protecting arm which
Middlebury is thus throwing across the
sea- for it is from an inland Vermont
town to the Breton sea-faring peasants
that the help goes Brittany may seem
out of the war zone, but the Bretons
have suffered severely both at home
and on the fighting line. 1t will be re-
membered that at Dixmunde in 1914
whole brigade of Breton marines was
massacred, And wherever there are
Frnsh ships there are Breton sailors
to be found. On land they call them
lies demoiselles Pom-poms" on ac-
count of their sauntering gait acquired
on the rolling decks of their ships, their
fresh clear compilations and the jaunty
balls on the top of their caps But like
the Ladies from He'll, as the Scottish
Highlanders are called then can fight,
for by nature and tradition they are
the hardest of sea-farers.
The great number of orphans among
the Breton peasants is due to the num-
Der of fathers who have been lost both
in battle and in disaster to fishing ships
by the mines with which their fishing
grounds have for more than three years
been so thickly sown.
The French government helps the
mothers with large families by taking
charge of the children until they are "A,
when they are trained to be sailors or
marines, But the government help falls
short by about 500 per child in meeting
the real needs of the orphans. AS long
ago as 1897, a separate society was
formed by a French admiral to care for
the orphans. The children thus helped
are kept in their own homes and en-
vironment, though persons who con-
tribute as much as $40 per child per
year are technically considered to have
adopted the children.
From one Middlebury rummage sale
the lives of seven of these waits will be
made brighter. Why not more rum
maging?

WE LOST 46 BABES
OUT OF $50 BORN
Our Record at About II Per Cent,
Worse Than Average

Following up the Baby Saving Cam
paign which was inaugurated last week,
number of women have been appoint
ed as local canvassers, hoping to in
terest every mother in Middebury in
the system of baby records which the
Children'S Bureau at Washington has
recommended as standard The cards
will be taken into every home where
there are children under } years and the
work explained. Two dates have been
set for taking the babies records. On
July ?, the children may be brought to
Mrs, f. NJ. Saunders home, where APP
paratus for accurate weighing and mea-
surement will be available, and on July
6, DR.. S. S. Eddy will throw his office
open to free service of the same kind.
The past week Mrs. Saunders has
been searching the records of births and
deaths at the Town Clerks office, and
found that while the records show 359
births from January, 1912 to June 20,
1918, there have been recorded 46
deaths of children born during that
period-an average of II per cent of
deaths. This is an even higher percen-
tage than for the country at large,
which experts have figured at 10 per
cent
The list of canvassers for the cam
paign next week are as follows:
Mrs. Frank c. Dopahue-South Main

The Last of The Species!
Barton Monitor J

The merger of The Middlebury Reg
lister and the printing plant of the Sey-
mour Press in Middlebury is one of the
signs of the times. Consolidation in Or
der to save overhead expenses, aid in
the solution of the labor problem and
as move for self-preservation will force
other such arrangements in the news
paper and printing business in Yer
mont as well as in other lines of bust
ness. The next move for the Addison
county newspapers is to increase the
price of those excellent weeklies. They
are the only 81 weeklies in Vermont.
