Inheritance for Charles westall

Charles Westall received last week
a communication from a firm of attor-
neys in London, England informing
him of the death in that city of his
only sister, Mrs. Martha Gates. The at
torneys also inform Mr. Westall that
in consequence of his sister having died
intestate he was entitled to half OF the
small property which she had left,
which, after payment of legal expenses,
will amount to about $50 pounds,
or Sl,750 in the whole. Mr. Westall,
who has lived in this country, and in
Middlebury, more than 40 years, was
in regular communication with his sis
ter for long period prior to the break
ing out of the late war, but during the
war he found communication difficult.
Many times papers mailed to him by
his sister we're five or six weeks in get
ting from London to Middlebury.
Mr.. Westall left yesterday for Chico
pee Falls, Mass, where he will visl

TWO LATE ARRIVALS

Pvt. Carl McMaster, who was
with the 348th Infantry in France
and Pvt. George Gotta, son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Gotta of Seymour
street, arrived home from overseas
last night.
An unusually sad case was the
homecoming of Pvt. McMaster,
for it was not until he reached his
home on Weybridge street, that
he learned of the recent deaths of
his father, Henry McMaster, and
his brother, William, the latter of
whom was victim of influenza
about two months ago. Though
for more than year a soldier, and
used to hard blows, young Nc
Master was nearly overcome when
he greeted his stepmother and his
sisters and heard from them for
the first time of the deaths.
McMaster was in the battles of
Argonne Forest and was once gas
sed, as result of which he spent
two months in the hospital. He
will leave tomorrow for Bristol,
Conn, to resume a position he
formerly had there with the New
Departure Manufacturing Co.

Fisher tried to make out to The Reg
lister that his baseball days were num-

passed his 3lst birthday he is still a
youngster in comparison with some of
the veterans of baseball He was born
in Middlebury, October 4, 1887, and

keeping Miss Hurd related one OF her
experiences in buying silk waist and
finding that the material was really OF
metallic substance greatly resembling
wire netting Women buyers today
must be able to tell what is real wool,
linen or cotton, as substitutes OF 9TH
er materials have become so general
Efficiency in house keeping demand
ed, she said, every consideration from
both the men and women on the farm.
How to save time, money and strength
were real problems, and the Home Eco
Monies service was doing much to work
them out. She told of a man whose
wife was absent for a week and it was
up to him to conduct the house. Be-
fore the week was up he had added to
the household equipment no less than
twelve labor-saving devices, the need OF
which had never before occurred to
him. Miss Hurd told also of the work
that is being done by the Health Cru
sade movement in the schools, where
by pupils receive credit for personal
attention to their health needs, such as
regular cleansing of the teeth, and care
as to proper clothes and other health
projections. The matter Of hot lunch
she emphasized as an important point,
for it had been proven time and again
that the child who was nourished at
noon time with only a cold sandwich
or two proved to be a fatigued and ir-
ritable member of the school long before
the afternoon work was finished, where
as the children with the warm lunches
survived the school ordeal in better
spirits, and came out at the end of the
year in better health.
Professor George G.. GrOat of the
Economics Department at the Univer-
sity of Vermont, who addressed the
meeting last year, was again cordially
received and gave an entertaining talk
on cooperation Prof. Groat expressed
the fear that the people were prema-
turely considering that peace had been
reestablshed in the world and were
thinking that normal conditions would
at once result. He predicted that it
would be a long time yet before the
world is at rest and the boys were all
home, and he urged that the spirit of
cooperation which had characterized
Americas war endeavor and which had
undoubtedly made her success possible
should not give way as yet to the old
regime of pull and haul" He indicated
his hope of sympathetic cooperation

strong human interest and moral force,
which appeared to hold the audience

present.
At the beginning of the entertainment,
FIR Leonard exhibited to the audience
a st. Patrick's Day cake which had been
made and presented to him by Miss
Ethel Dragon of Hepburn Hall The
cake was embellished with shamrocks
and the legend erin Go Bragh" in
green confectionery Father Leonard
proposed that every one have a guess
at the weight of the cake, paying what
they pleased for the privilege, and that
the sum thus raised be applied as a
help toward grading the High School
yard. The guesses ranged all the way
from 10 to 100 ounces, but the winner
of the cake was Mrs. W. J. Hartin

weight, As ounces.

During his service abroad Walter was
engaged in the convoy of motor trucks

ing experiences in active service ST.
monds is probably one of the youngest
men from Addison County who has
been at the front. He enlisted at Ft
Ethan Allen in June, 1917, and when
the we'll remembered shake-up of the
Vermont troops occurred, he was as
signed to Co, B of the l02nd Machine
Gun Battalion, which went over seas
in September and saw its first service

On Patriots Day, April 19,-the ami

Yankee Division a surprise and over

in the Toul sector where Simonds was
stationed. One entire platoon Of ST.
monds regiment,-the third platoon
was captured by the Germans 1t was
in this platoon that William Hier of
Bristol was captured, and Simonds
counts it as a remarkable circumstance
that only day or two before the raid
occurred he himself had been trans
ferred from the third platoon to the
first platoon, and thus escaped cap
ture with his comrades. However, he
had an even greater misfortune to him
self, for while he was operating a ma

IN COUNTY JAIL

Wilber Sears, l6-year-o son of Oil
yer Sears of Ferrisburg, was arrested
by Sheriff c. S. Martin on Monday and
taken before Municipal Judge A. w.
Dickens for a hearing the same after
noon.
Wilber worked for Dan Briggs of
Ferrisburg last summer, and when he
quit on September 8 his employer gave
him a check for S998 The amount
seemed small for the boy, and he ac-
cordingly changed the figures to read

of Robert w Palmer of North Ferris
burg where it was cashed for the en-
larged amount Then the boy disap-
peared
Feeling quite certain that he would
return home sooner or later, the author
tiles did not make an immediate at
tempt to arrest the boy. He was heard
from in Burlington and in Rutland, and
a few days ago it became known that
he was again under the parental roof
Provided with a warrant, Sheriff Mar
tin went Monday morning to the Sears
house and secured his prisoner.
When brought into court the boy
did not deny his wrong doing. He was
bound over to Addison county court.

being unable to furnish, he was re-

Selby felt that the farmers of all New
England would eventually swing into
line for. cooperative buying and selling
at the nearest large market points and
that good organization would make
New England one of the best business

There were large number of women
in the audience representing the Home
Demonstration movement, and the ad-
dress of Miss Julia A. Hurd, State Su-
pervisor of Home Economics in the
secondary schools of the State, was one
which brought into close relationship
the work of the men and women on the
farm. The aims Of the Home Demon
stration Department, she said, ran al
most parallel with those OF the Farm
Bureau and she believed that neither
could make real progress without the
other. Conditions had changed for farm
women, as today the farmers wives
were not entirely furnished with all the
necessities from farm products, but had
to go to the stores and qualify as eff
cient buyers. 1t was only through wo-
mans insistence on value for value
that the merchant, in many cases, could
be forced into the best proctice of store

"Well, can't look at all of them,"

two of them here"
did you see their clothes?" walled
Peter.
"Of course 1 saw their clothes,
Peter. How could l help it. What
is the matter with their clothes?
They are queer color-that is all 1
can see. But they are wild lot and
no wonder they wear queer things"
"Now mother" said little Peter,
"they wear perfectly lovely clothes;
and they wear four suits year.
They told me so. They wear white
one in winter and brown one in
summer and they wear another one in
the fall, and they wear this lovely
spotted one in the early spring
white and brown and gray-I wish
I had four suits a year"
"Now Peter, behave. You have
lovely new suit every year and 1t
wears like iron-a nice gray suit
and your little white tail trims it up.
You ought to be ashamed to want as
many suits as your great cousins.
And anyway in the part of the coun-
try where they live, fut is not so
good. When I think of the high cost
of living, I am surprised that we can
afford even one good suit a year.
These Hares are extravagant. 1t is
a shame to be related to them"
Peter was ashamed to have said
anything against his cousins, the
Hares, or the Snow Shoe Rabbits,
who had all been so kind to him.

mother, 81 will put you to bed with
a good dose of Camomile tea and in
