nicely does it fit into surroundings

NORWICH WINS
But Return Game Will be Played
Here Tuesday

The Middlebury College basketball
team went down to defeat Friday night
by a 1924 score before Norwich Uni
versity five in what was easily the
seasons toughest encounter at Armory
Hall, Mortified. The Blue and White
fought stubbornly throughout the con-
test but in the final period her defense
weakened enough for the cadets to
break through for thirteen scores.
The return game originally scheduled
to be played here the night following
was finally postponed after both teams
spent several hours in Burlington wait
ing for a train to bring them as far
as Middlebury The delay was oc-
casioned by the freight wreck at New
Haven Junction early Saturday morn
ing which tied up all traffic for nearly
twelve hours. The game will be played
in Mccullough gymnasium next Tues
day evening.

Local hide dealers are authority for
the statement that the wholesale price
OF hides has been taking such a preci-
pitous drop lately that the price of
shoes ought soon to see a corresponding
decrease. In August 1919 hides brought
81 cents pound in the local wholesale
market, while they are now under Is
cents. 1t would seem reasonable that
this should have some effect on the
price of shoes. Reasonable to every
one except the shoe men-no doubt.

To carry local nature study a step
farther, there has been considerable
curiosity displayed this week over half
a dozen ducks of the whistler" variety
according to Gushing Hill which are
making their home in the open spaces
of Otter Creek near the stone bridge.
No one has molested them and they
seem quite at home there.

TWO GOOD ONES

HlVeh the election OF any one of the
three present candidates for Governor
Vermont seems to have good reason
to view the next biennial political era
with more optimism than prevailed
two years ago at this time. Good men
and able men are in the field.
With something of the same sort of
qualification, Addison County, and Mid
dlebury particularly, may contemplate
ITS political future. Two years ago
Willis N. Cady was urged by his
friends and admirers to seek election
as senator from Addison COUNTY but
would not allow his candidacy to be
put forward at that time. The same
is true of Judge Charles |. Button who
was urged to run for Town Represent
alive, but declined Friends of both
these men, however, have been per
slstent in their demands, and The
Register now has some assurance that
both Messrs. Button and Cady will
announce their candidates. this wear
Mr.. Cady for senator and Mr.. Button
for town representative.
Both gentlemen have unimpeachable
records for public service and if given
the opportunity to represent the town
and county at Montpelier, The Register
believes that their seats in the capitol
would be graced by able and CON
scientious spokesman. They both en-
JOY wide acquaintance in the county
and state.
Mr.. Cady was for six years overseer
of the state Grange, for six years state
master, and is now a member of the
executive committee of the national
Grange. Though most widely known
as a Grange man, Mr. Cady is better
known locally as just a plain all-around
citizen, conservative, clear thinking and
capable of leadership of others along
such paths. The town has repeatedly
honored him, and only this week it
reelected him selectman after thirteen
years service, Various governors of
the state have entrusted him with i'm
portant missions, and during the re-
cent war he devoted himself with no
small personal sacrifice to patriotic
service as a member of the District
Draft Board.
Judge Button has likewise won the
respect of his fellow townsmen. not
only through many years of con-
scientious and efficient conduct of the
office of Judge of Probate, but through
semi-public service in many capacities.
In association for many years with
the Addison County Fair Manage
ment, in his successful leadership of
the Liberty Loan campaigns, and in
his identification with civic affairs
generally, he has proven himself a
generous worker for public interests.
The Register can only hope that this
acknowledgment of what it believes
to be the peoples interest in their
prospective candidates will bring out
the formal announcements from
Messrs. Button and Cady. They will
be heartily welcomed by the voters, we
feel assured

EVERY DAY
Red.BlOOded Men and Women
are Seldom Sick.
WATCH YOUR BLOOD
CONDITION
If You Look Pale, Feel Gloomy
and Rundown, Take PeptO-
Mangan and Build Up

You see men and women who are
never sick. They work hard, look
robust, eat heartily and enjoy life.
They have plenty of rich, red blood.
That is why they are never i'll.
People who try to get along with
weak. impoverished blood always have
a struggle. They go from one sick
ness to another. Children the same
way.
If you keep your blood rich and red
you'll enjoy full vigor. Disease has
little chance to develop in healthy
blood. As soon as you feel rundown
take Pepto-Mangan for awhile. II
will feed your blood with the ingredi-
ents needed to create good supply
Of red corpuscles.
Pepto-Mangan is sold in both liquid
and tablet form. Take either kind you
prefer. They are alike in medicinal
value. But be sure you get the gen.
uine Pepto-Mangan-"Gude's. The
full name, "Gude's Pepto-Mangan, y
should be on the package. adv

IA The election of last week brought
its surprises in Pickens county as wei
as elsewhere, 263 republican votes be-
ing polled in the county, something
that is unusual as the county has al
ways been almost solid democratic
Three beats in the county gave the
republican ticket a majority almost
three to one, and Bostick beat, which
went republican, gave the socialis
ticket one more vote than that re
ceived by the democratic ticket
Hence the surprises. William B
Bankhead, democratic nominee from
the Tenth Congressional district, re
ceiyed 1920 votes more than his rep
ublican opponent, who received "a
votes in the county, and again Picken
has polled the deciding vote in a con
gressional race, the other having beef
