A Reminder to Women Voters
Amy Desiring Franchise Must Make
Application in Writing Before
April 20, 1920.

A law has recently been enacted
by the legislature requiring that any
woman who wishes to vote at town
meeting in March, 1920, must have
her name placed on the grand list
for poll tax on or before February
Is, 1920. This applies to women
who are already taxpayers and have
formerly voted as we'll as to those
who have no taxable property and
have never voted but who wish to
vote. r
On or before April 20, 1919, every
woman between the ages of 21 and
70, who wishes to vote, must make an
application, in writing, to one of the
town listers, Philip Bartlett, w. A.
Paine or J. S. Sweeney, to place her
name on the grand list for poll tax.
Blank forms for this purpose may be
procured from any one of the listers
or at the town clerks office. Any
written application to the listers to
place your name on the grand list for
a poll tax, properly signed and dated
will meet the requirments. In addi-
tion to this, women who have taken
the freeman's oath must do so before
they can vote.

Edsel Saws Two Years Left

"Greatly distorted and exaggerat-

company which bears his fathers
name, concerning reports Of the new
Ford project for car that is promis-
ed to outshine the present Ford "a
new car may be manufactured" he
says il q statement to Ford dealers,
"but as to when it will be nanufact-
urea we are unable to say We do
know that a new car could niot pos
sibly be designed, tested out, manu-
factured and marketed in quantities
under two or three years time" This
would seem to discount earlier STAKE
ments that the new project was al
thought out during Henry's vacation

VERMONT TAKES TOP PLACE
Success in Relief in the Near East
Drive Scores Highest of States

1t has been briefly announced
chat the drive for relief in the near
east was a success in Vermont, but
this only briefly tells the story. Yer
mont has honor place among all the
states in this worthy cause. The
state subscribed 157 per cent of her
quota. Ohio was next with $50 per
cent and Washington state with 141
per cent.
Addison, Caledonia, Orange, Or
leans, Rutland, Windham and Wind
sor counties went "over the top"
while oGher counties lacked but lit
tie of reaching their quotas. All but
five towns in Orange county contrib
u1ed their quotas.
The two towns that shine the
brightest are Lyndon, in Caledonia
! county, and Sherchan, in Addison
county. They both oversubscribed
nearly 1916 per cent. Randolph was
$50 per cent and many towns over
subscribed more than 100 per cent.
One hundred and twelve towns Of
the state exceeded their quotas.
The town of Proctor leads all
other towns in an over subscription
of more than 400 per cent.
The largest individual contribu-
ton If the state was $1,000. The
lowest contribution was one cent and
there we're several of this amount.
Vernont's quota was $4,000.
The actual amount raised is $76,691,
and once again the old Green Mount
ain State records it's generosity in
worthy cause and takes her place
at the head Of all the states in this
drive.
| 1t has been a strenuous campaign
at the headquarters at Waits River
Junction and for all the workers in
the field. State Chairman Roland E.
Stevens has proven himself a most
able organizer. His selection Of
county chairman was most fortunate.
They put their hearts into the work
and refused to be discouraged by any
obstacle.
Some of the credit at least is due
the newspapers of the state. This
was one of the few war drive cam
paigns in which paid advertising was
used and it also was one Of the few
campaigns in which the newspapers
gave so generously of reading mat
ter.
When Vermont determinedly sets
out to accomplish a purpose there is
no stopping her.

Red Cross Carnival

idly for the two lay carnival which

Mr.. Chas. Withrow who has staged

Announcement

Collector Of Internal Revenue,
Seth w. Jones Of Portsmouth, N. H.,
announces that corporations and
others required to file income tax re-
turns are not availing themselves Of
the service afforded them as they
should. Deputies have now been
been stationed throughout the dis
trict of New Hampshire and Vermont
for several days on this work and
from meager results reported thus
far it would seem advisable to dis
continue the service. Corporations
and others must not delay longer
the request of assistance from depu-
ties and the filing of their inc ONE
tax returns. Only limited time is
now available for the assistance by
deputies and much depends upon the
amount of service required Of them
within the next few days as TO how
much longer this special service will
be continued. Prompt action on the
part of taxpayers is there necessary.

Brighton H. S. Will Play Baseball

Having fninshed a very successful
season at Basket Ball the boys of
the High School began to think of
playing the great national game Of
baseball; after deciding to have a
team it was found that no field was
available to play on; the town having
made no provision for anything of
this kind.
In most communities section or
field is set aside commonly called a
common where the boys and girls of
the community can 60 and play their
games and amuse themselves thus
keeping them off the streets; and a.
way from the places where they are
liable to cause damage to property
but here as yet no such place is pro-
vided; so the boys made the rounds
of all the places that would make
a good ball ground and every
where met with the same answer
either the owners refused absolutely
to consider a proposition or else
their price Of rental was prohibitive
it began to look as if there would be
no baseball this year; but the boys
tried again and this time they found
man with good public spirit
realized what it would mean to the
boys of the community while he hest
tated at first because he felt the boys
could find better place when he
learned that there seemed to be no
other place available he gladly con-
sented to let them use his field for
the duration of their season at a most
reasonable figure.
The boys are much pleased with
the opportunity they now have and
are planning to put the best team
possible on the diamond; this season
will give the baseball fans of Island
Pond a good opportunity to show
how much they appreciate the game.
All home games will be played on
the field of Mr.. Don Albee through
whose generously the game is made
possible this season.

BOTH STATE NORMAL SCHOOLS
ABOLISHED BY VOTE OF HOUSE

Montpelier, April 3.-In the face
of bitter and violent attack on the
commissioner and the State Board OF
Education the House this afternoon
rejected H. $50, providing for the
continuance of the normal school in
Castleton and johnson by a vote of
105 to &c. Mr.. Tracy of Johnson
defended the bill in two character
istic speeches in which he declared
that if the Legislature had chance
it would abolish the State Board CT
Education, which had raised stan
dards so high that the "poor girl in
the calico dress" could not be ad-
mitted to the normal schools.
This was after Mr.. Austin of Read
ing had submitted figures showing
that the number of pupils at John
son school was 120 in 1915; 63 in
1916; "a in 1917, and % in 1918,
and that the expense OF graduating
pupils in 1918 was $1731 per pupil
at johnson and s$579 per pupil at
Castleton.
'The policy of the State board OF
education," said the gentleman from
Johnson, 'is driving our girls into
mills and factories because they
can't get into normal schools to train
as teachers. This is a rural State
and your girls and mine don't want
to go to Burlington ard Rutland for
their training. They WON'T walk th2
streets in their calico dresses.
''The time is coming when Yer
mont will say that we don't want 9
foreigner to run our schools"
Mr.. Writer'S of St. Johnsbury, who
followed, said the gentleman from
Johnson was adopting the tactics OF
the criminal court by attempting tc
try something else other than the
question at issue.
'The fact is," continued Mr.. Wit
ters, "the poor girl can get teachers
eldllllilS dI Ilc ulSH SCnCOlS ana IL
cademies, and such training costs thc
State SIP per pupil, not 1851.
The rejection of this bill does not g.
bolish the normal school system, ii
merely leaves it with the Board of
Education to establish such normal
schools, as may be best fitted to train
teachers instead Of being compelled
to continue the schools at johnson
and Castleton."
Mr.. Estee OF Montpelier, advo.
Gated central normal school, Mr.
Belknap Of Rockingham urged the
members to "put faith in God anc

Mr.. Williams Of Proctor favored con
tinuance to August 1921 as did Mr.
Mcfarland Of Hyde, Park and DR.

Say Mar are you getting the allot-
ments that belong to you? l do not

ington, write to this address for it:
