Fly Model Planes With the Wind.

AS regards the flying Of model

this in reality is not the case; model
should always be flown with the wind.

attraction of Frances Hayden's coun-

least bit they showed, dazzling white
and even, and the smile was about as
sweet as any girl could hope to offer.
But Frances was unhappy. She had
long suspected that Melville Clark had
ceased to care for her-in the way he
once had cared. But. she told herself,
1t was hardly unexpected. despite the
protestations Melville had made. when
he left Glendale two years ago, that he
would never care for another girl and
that he was coming back "some bright

She remembered the apprehensions

would come across someone else in the
big city. However, Melville had writ
ten steadily for a yenr, and In every
letter had reiterated his intentions.
During the next year, however, she
could not help noticing that his letters
alluded more and more to friendship
and less to love. Finally they dropped
off altogether. until for a period of
five months none came at all.
Frances went about her. steno-
graphic duties In the real estate Office
with the usual smile and the same ca
pacity for work that she had always
displayed, but when she got home at
night she often shut herself in her
room and thought hard, and sometimes
cried a little.

THE SHEEP GROWERS
CONSIGN THEIR WOOL

President S. R. Witherell of the
newly organized Addison County Sheep
Growers Association announces that
during the past three weeks over 10000
pounds of wool have been rounded up
for the association pool, and the direc-
tors of the association have already
succeeded in making a contract with
a New York firm to handle the entire
clip Of the association on consign-
ment basis The wool is to be sold at
6 per cent commission at the best mar
ket obtainable An advance of fifty
cents per pound is to be given each
grower on certain grades and thirty
five cents a pound on lower grades,
the remainder Of the purchase price to
be paid when the wool is sold. 1t is
understood that the wool will be gather
ed at Shoreham, Middlebury and Yer
gennes about June 10th and that the
loading of cars will be in charge of the
Addison County Farmers Exchange.
The grading will be done at the time
the wool is brought in, so that each
grower may see just how his clip grades.
The shipment is to be made together
with the clip of the Grand Isle Associa-
tion, several individual clips from La
noble and Chittenden counties and a
number to be added in Rutland county.

COUNTY ORGANIZES FOR FIRST
TRUST AND SAYINGS BANK HERE
The Addison County Trust Company, Inc, To
Open for Business Next Month
John Weeks Elected Pden-sO Practically All Subscribed
Quarters To Addison House

Plans to proceed with the establish
ment in Middlebury Of a representative
county institution to do a trust and
savings bank business, under the char
ter granted to the Addison County
Trust Company, Inc, over two years
ago, were brought to completion at a
meeting held in Middlebury on Tues
day for election of officers and directors
More than thirty of the prospective
stockholders including many from out
of town, were present and made the
following choice of officers:
President, John E Weeks of Mid
dlebury; presidents, Frank W.
Tuttle of Vergennes and Allan Cal
houn of Middlebury.
The following were elected directors
in the order named:
Allan Calhoun, Robert w. McCuen,
John E. Weeks, Fred E. Platt of Shore
ham, C. l. Button of Middlebury Ford
M. Thomas of Bristol, Frank W. Tuttle
of Vergennes, A. R. Sturtevant of Mid
dlebury, John A. James of Weybridge,
Frank C. Dyer of Salisbury, and John
NJ. Thomas of Middlebury.
This organization is one which had
long been anticipated, as permission
of the State Bank Commissioner, fol-
lowing a public hearing was granted
March 20, 1917, and the charter issued
for the Addison County Trust Co. Inc
the following fall The delay in organi-
cation was due to the war, and the heavy
burdens imposed on finance by the var
ious Liberty Loan drives. Addison has
been unique among the counties OF the
state because of its lack of a trust COM
pany business, and the field here has
been deemed an excellent one without
conflict with the already established
national banking institutions which in
clude The National Bank of Middle
bury, and the national banks in Or
well, Bristol and Vergennes. 1t is un-
derstood that the local bank is friendly
