was over the score stood 1913, in
favor of Island Pond, but when
the home team got on to their
superior passing, they being
trained under an expert physi-
cal instructor, and two of their
team much taller than any of the
Island Ponds, the game was lost,
The physical director said that
our boys far surpassed their
team in passing the ball.
A return game is expected the
first week in January, date not

They gave our boys the best

Vermont's Loss 3,535
Complete Census Figures in
1920 Make Interesting Reading

The complete census figures
give Vermont's population in
1920 as 352,421. The figures
for 1910 were 355,956.
Mostly the rural towns show
losses, while most of the gains
are in industrial villages and
cities. Windsor county shows
the largest gain and most of it
was made in Springfield and
Windsor, where industrial en-
terprises have flourished. The
largest gain in the state was
made in Governor-elect Hart
ness town of Springfield. The
heaviest losses are shown in
Rutland and Washington count
les and are accounted for by
the slump in the marble and
granite and slate industries,
which were crippled by the
war. The fact that the canvas
was taken early in the year In
stead Of in June, as heretofore,
worked to the disadvantage of
Vermont.
The twelve largest towns
and cities in te state, are: Bur-
lington, 22,779; Rutland, a.
954; Barre City, 10,098; Ben
nington. 1882; st. Johnsbury,

and cities contain more Than
half the population of the state

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS
ARE DELAYED
Kenosha Life Savers Wait in Vain for
. Promised Presents from Blue An
Choir Society

The members Of the Kenosha Coast
Guard Station believe that Uncle
Sam s mail service has interfered with
their Santa Claus. The Blue Anchor
society of New York City, an organiza-
ton that makes a special business Of
passing Christmas cheer to the marine
men, is sending to each life saving sta
ton a Christmas pac-age for each mem
Der of the crew. Each package con
tains heavy sweater, such as is used
in the army, scarf and pound of to-
bacco. The first two of these gifts are
extremely useful to the guards who
must be out In all kinds of weather and
the latter adds greatly to their com
fort. Word has been received from the
Racine station that they have received
their presents from the Blue Anchor
society and the Kenoshans can only be-
lieve that the mail tie-up is responsible
for the fact that they have thus far
waited in vain for the gifts.

bitioE Of poultry ever held hese III
speaking of the exhibit this morning,
one of the officials Of the Kenosha
County Poultry Association said that
there would be so many entries that
they would have to double deck the

The show will be bigger than the

show was a state meet Of the Rhode
Island Red association. Members of
the Kenosha poultry association are al
SO regretting the fact that they did not
get the state meet of the Rhode island
Red association here and attribute their
failure to the parsimony Of some of
the members, When the question of
having the meet here was put up to-
the members some Of them proposed
that the local association give $l25 for
the meet. Others objected and said
fWhy pay 1925 for the meet when we
can get it for $8090 Milwaukee paid
1925 for the meet and got it and that
is what made the Milwaukee show this
year the biggest ever held by that as
