RUSTY NAIL WILL
CAUSE HIS DEATH

1t was reported from the Fanny
Allen hospital in Winooski to the Reg
ister at noon today that William H.,
Forrest of Middlebury had slight hope
of recovery from lockjaw. Mr.. For
rest. who is a man nearly % years OF
age and who has been living with his
wife and son on the Fred Foote farm
at the east end OF the village, contract
ed the tetanus germ from a rusty nail
Last Saturday he was chopping kind
ling wood, and when he grasped stick
which had a rusty nail at one end he
accidentally pierced his index hnger
with the nail. He treated the wound
with some light antiseptic but failed to
get deep enough to kill the germ, which
within a few days had developed an
infection in his whole hand and wrist,
Yesterday DR.. S. S. Eddy declared that
it was a case of the dreaded lockjaw
and hurried the man to the Fanny AL
len hospital. Today he underwent an
operation but with what was declared
at the hospital as very slight chance
of success. 1t was feared the case
would prove fatal within a few days,
as today his muscles had become so
rigid that he could no longer swallow.
Mr.. and Mrs. Forrest have a large
family of eight children, most of them
grown up and married. Philip Forrest,
one of the sons works for Gorham and
Sons as delivery clerk. He accompan-
led his father to the hospital yesterday
Other sons are Clyde, Thad Ned, Ar
thur, Jesse and Joseph and the two
daughters are Mabel and Kate.

ARMY BAND PLAYS
IN PARK TONIGHT

Col John D. Carmody and a de-
tachment of % men of the United
States Air Service arrived in Middle
bury at one o'clock this morning to
recruit men for the air service. The
party brought with them a French
Moraine Monoplane, the first airplane
of this type ever seen here and a To-
000-watt motor generator for operating
battery of searchlights. This and a
lot of other interesting equipment was
brought in on six trucks and three
trailers, and the men are camping until
morning on the Addison County Fair
Grounds
The party includes a band of l2
pieces which will furnish concert free
in the village park tonight. Col. Car
mody and his men left Mineola, Long

have toured all of the New England
States. Yesterday they were in Bur-
lington and Middlebury is their only
stopping place in Addison County. To-
morrow they will move on to Rutland.
- Col C.armody says the party has been
remarkably successful in interesting
men in the air service, and that it is
little understood how varied a training
a man may receive in this branch.
Flying men constitute but a small por-
tion of the air service. Instruction is
given in no less than 81 different trades,
and there are many men who are TAX
ing special interest in the balloon sec
ton Men of previous service may en-
list for one year, while new recruits for
three years.

Shoes to Cost More

Shoes sold next spring will bring even
higher prices than those now prevailing,
but relief may be expected late in 1920,
according to a statement issued by the
National Boot and Shoe Manufacturers
association. The cause of high prices
was said to be the depletion Of stocks
under war time conditions, the pros
perity of the public and European COM
petition.
The statement said present prices
were excessive and condemned buy

WAS IT A DREAM.

In state Of utter despair, l. Horace
r. Clayton, stood on the banks of Lake
Washington and gazed into the Deep dark
water below, which never gives up it's dead,
and just as I had reached the conclusion
that life was not worth living and that I
would bury my sorrows with my body in
the silent waters below, woman, comely
in FORM but fearful in frown, appeared
on the scene and administered unto me
tongue lashing that made even the cold
still waters Of the lake sit up and take
notice. [ pulled myself together and forgot
my determination to find that peace that
passeth all understanding and I said to my
self, [ will not die. but I will strive to live
and capture the affections of that woman
because the woman single-handed and alone
that will beard the lion in his den and tell
him things as she sees them is some woman,
and under proper guidance will be the
means of both man and woman reaching the
eureka Of life, which will end in happiness
forever beyond this vale of tears.'' My,
what headache-that macaroni and cheese
seem to have made me have awful dreams.

writer and linguist, of New York, who will
speak here June 5th and 9th in the interest

the colored citizens of this country are
concerned absolutely stands at the head.

Roland H. Cotteril, a Seattle councilman,
is dead and the City Hall is in mourning.
Mr.. Cotterill was very brilliant man and
his life from early youth to almost the day
Of his death was full of useful constructive
work for his fellow man. In life from the
very beginning Of mature years he made his
own way and leaned on no one for aid or
assistance. When he was elected a member
Of the city council, about two years ago,
the future looked bright for him and many
predicted that it was only a question of
time when Roland Cotterill would 90 over
the top and capture something higher in
the state government or perhaps, even in
the Federal government. Cayton's Weekly
found in him an enthusiastic supporter and
even booster. Peace to his ashes.

Some weeks ago this paper said in con-
nection with a bunch of stories told at the
expense of the colored soldiers, that story
told about a colored man and not in jargon,
though the colored man be highly educated,
was not remotely funny. Here is a rather
laughable story:
DR.. j. M. Buckley, the Methodist divine,
was asked one day to conduct an "experi-
ence meeting" at a colored church in the
South.
A colored woman arose and bore witness
to the preciousness Of her religion as light
bringer and comfort giver.
"That's good, sister!' commented DR..
Buckley. "But now about the practical
side. Does your religion make you strive
to prepare your husband a good dinner?
Does it make you look after him in every
way?"
Just then DR.. Buckley felt a yank at
his coat-tails by the colored preacher, who
whispered ardently: "Press dem questions,
doctor; press dem questions. OATS my
wife !''-Lades' Home Journal
Now as amusing as the above story is
per Sc on sober second thought, if DR..
Buckley really said this he simply lied.
DR.. Buckley is one of the leaders of the
M. b. Church and would have a duck fit
if even colored man was licensed to
preach who was not college graduate and
yet he jokes about one of his college
graduates in the above jargon. What fools
we mortals be.

Really. il is hard to understand
why such a necessity toward the ag-

counties vastly poorer than our own
have dandy fairs that are self-sup-

from them have been so large that
