SUCCESSFUL WEEK
OF CHAUTAUQUA
Ends Today With Pageant
And Concert
Local Guarantors Are Signing Up For
Next Year

With eight hundred people filling the
Chautauqua tent each night Middle
bury has come out successfully in the
second year of her Community Chau-
tauqua, President c, l. Button of the
local Chautauqua committee reports
$50 season tickets sold, which is GO
above the required number, giving the
local guarantors enough to clear them
selves and just a bit to spare. This,
however, does not represent the work
which many OF the local promoters put
into the arrangements, especially the
work OF A, J. Blackmer who provided
adequate seating facilities for the big
crowd.
AT last nights entertainment, Super
intendent Stanton called for guarantors
for another season and more than a
dozen men filed up to the stage to sign.
Although 40 guarantors, in all, will be
necessary, it is expected that there will
be no difficulty in getting the full num-
ber
The concluding features of the pro-
gram come this afternoon and evening,
but owing to circumstances outside the
control of the Chautauqua people they
will not be the features which were ad-
vertised, The native Indian quartet
which was to give the closing concert
has been disrupted by the draft and
in its stead the "Tex Y Quartet THE
Texan Y. NJ. c. A, singers will fur
nish the entertainments
Richard Kennedy the lecturer, is also
unable to appear but in his place the
Chautauqua has been fortunate in OBJ
tanning Harry p. Morehead, of the Y.
NJ. { a, who was director general of
all the cinemas Cmoving pictures for
the French Army. He is home on fur
Tough and his news from the front will
undoubtedly be of the most intimate
and stirring sort.
The Junior Chautauqua, which has
attracted from forty to fifty children
every day for organized play, had a pic
mic on Chipman Hill this morning, and
will participate in the "The Pageant of
Our Allies" in the Chautauqua tent this
afternoon at 2;30
The musical features and lectures of
the whole week have been entertaining
and instructive and apparently met
with the heartiest approval of every
audience. The speakers were Harry G..

KNITTING CONTEST
NEXT WEDNESDAY
Middlebury Women Are Out For The
Worlds Record

Can you knit or can you not? If you
can, the first prize of $l00 in thrift
stamps awaits you at a two-hour con-
test which will be held at the home of
Mrs Z. M, Saunders at 2:30 p. m. next
Wednesday, and, if you can't, the
BOBBY prize of one stamp will reward
your coming, anyway.
The worlds record in knitting has
just been claimed by Mrs. Fred Spring
er of Detroit, who, in a contest in which
over 700 women took part, beat all
Others by completing in two hours
twenty-one inches of mans sock-the
leg, heel, and three quarters of the foot.
Middlebury women are out to exceed
the record; and those who can knit at
all-even little bit-are urged to en-
ter the contest without feeling any em-
barrassment. All will knit soldiers
socks, starting at the same time, at the
beginning of the sock, using the same
directions, same kind of needles and
same sort of wool
An admission of ten cents will be
charged for the benefit of the local Red
Cross. Inquiries may be made of Mrs
A. S. Hartman, telephone 2l-5, for fur
ther directions as to knitting.

NED CALVI"ON
WAY TO BERLIN"
Has Already Shot An Empty
Barrel
And Is Getting a Lesson In Prices In
France, Where Oranges Are
10 Cents Each

A letter from Edward S, Calvi o
Middlebury who is with the 9TH Div
ision Motor Supply Train, headquar
ters, now in France;
At last, as you undoubtedly know,
am in the land of so-called "Somewher,
in France, Landed on the 10Th inst
and it seemed very good after being OF
the high seas for nine days, We saieC
on the 10th and saying the least, VI
had a wonderful voyage, as the weathei
was ideal and the UBoats did not in
teriere in the least On the fourth day

little excitement when we heard that
the guns on the boat were in action
All OF us being ANXIOUS rushed on the
decks to see the fun, but could only sec
the gun crew shooting at a distant oh.
ject which was very suspicious AS We
approached it we found that it was
nothing more than an empty barrel
Most OF you may think this big joke
but we surely did not as we were on
the lookout for such at all times On
the boat met Sheperdson, who was at
Midd College a year ago This made it
nice for me as we were together most
of the time, talking over old days,
The transport was more than crowd
ed with soldiers, consequently our food
was not of the best, yet we all made the
best OF it, Previous to landing my
chums and myself were contemplating
a real feast at the disembarking place,
but it ell turned out to be big disap-
pointment as when we landed we at
once had to march to our resting camp,
which was about four miles away. 1t
seemed twice the distance to us, as we
were rather hungry, and it was a warm
day. However, we reached a camp and
soon "our cooks" had feed for us and
at present am feeling better than ever
At this camp we stay only few days
then we will 90 to our permanent camp
Just where, | don't know, and besides
the censor will not allow us to state the
place.
| believe that from the present out
look we will soon go to Berlin and sieze
the Kaiser, then we will go back to l..
s. and have a glorious time
In this vicinity the French people
offer great curiosity, and an abun-
dance of sympathy is shown to them
Young men are very few, only boys who
are doing the work of men Women
also do very laborious work, and it is
nothing to see them in the fields doing
regular mans work. Every day we see
many aged women, also young women,
by the roadside selling merchandise.
Everything is very expensive even in
France. Eggs are selling at 90 cents to
81 dozen, butter so cents a pound, or
anges ten cents each. SO you see they
don't forget to place a price on their
articles
suppose everything in Midd is about
the same, only that probably most of
the boys are in training camps. 1t has
been a long time since received a word
from L, S. With best wishes to all the
people,

LAFLEUR MAKES
ANNOUNCEMENT
Presents His Platform For
Senator
Discusses Schools, Highways, Sheep
War, and LaFleur
To the Voters of Addison County

! o the Voters OF Addison County,
In presenting my name to your con
sideration for the Office of Senator tc
the General Assembly, to be voted on
at the coming primaries, September 10
feel, that in justice to all, | should
j state my views relative to certain ques,
tions which undoubtedly will come be-
fore the next legislature for action
thereon.
Our school system is an experiment
We are the only State in the Union hav.
ing a centralized system, 1t has been in
force since 1915, and its operation and
results are being closely watched. From
the satisfactory manner in which it i,
working out, it is my judgment, that il
should be continued with slight modi-
iicatons, State aid allowed to the
towns for advanced instruction in ap.
proved schools should be increased as
the rate of tuitions in the best of
schools has been increased.
The policy Of building State high
ways which has been in force for some
years should appeal to every one, and
should be encouraged and continued.
The schedules OF fees which have been
practically unchanged for many years,
for town clerks aud Justice of the Peace
should be revised 50 as to afford a more
adequate compensation for the duties
performed.
Our sheep industry should be protec-
ted more adequately from destruction
by dogs. We should have more dras-
tic law for the control or determination
of the worthless cur; one that will en-
courage rather than discourage the rails
ing OF sheep.
AS for child labor and the laws rela-
tive to the employment of labor, | en-
tertain the same views that did at the
last session Of the legislature when such
measures were considered.
The most important thing at present
Is the winning OF the war. We must all
work with a common will and a united
spirit. Our boys must be assisted and
protected. | believe that State aid to
volunteers should not only be continued
but should be extended to those who
tried to enlist but who were rejected,
and later were drafted into the service
The same credit given to volunteers
should be extended to those patriotic
boys and to those who are in a deferred
classification by reason of their being
engaged in agriculture, and who are APP
plying themselves industrially on the
farms We should approve of every
measure that will tend to increase the
efficiency of our army and navy, and
relieve home conditions during this ter
rible crisis, and stimulate the moral and
physical betterment of our people.
If nominated and elected to said Of
flee, l pledge myself to give the best
there is in me, not only in behalf OF the
above matters, but as to all things
which are for the interest and advance
ment of Addison County and our glori-
Gus little State,
Ira H. LaFleur.
