"An Absent Voter" Explains

Editor of The Register:
| note in Register editorial of Oc-
tober that you point out the useless
ness of sending ballots to absent voters
inasmuch as out of the many ballots
sent out at the recent primaries Only
one was returned.
If the other absent voters who failed
to return their ballots had experiences
sir to mine their failure to return
their ballots is hardly an accurate
measure of the value of granting this
privilege to absent voters My bal
lots did not reach me until the day
after the primaries when had al
ready read the result in the morning
paper. 1t was, of course, useless TO
return the ballots at that time.
Ny failure to receive the ballots in
,ime to return them was not, however
the fault of the Town Clerks Office
as the postmark indicated that the
ballots were mailed at Middlebury one
week before the day of the primaries
Very truly yours,
E J. Wiley.

BLUE IN LINE
FOR STATE TITLE
Norwich and U. V. M. Have Lost to
Other Teams by Big Margins
BY L. H. BROWN

U. V. M. by her victory over Tufts
Saturday caused some surprise al
though Tufts is weaker than usual this
year due to the recently installed one
year residence rule for athletes, The
chief weakness OF the Burlington eleven
lay in its numerous fumbles and the
inability of the backfeld with the ex-
ception of johnson to gain much
ground. This victory and the opening
win over ST. Lawrence hardly Offset
the drubbing administered by Syracuse
a week ago.
Norwich played its second game at
Troy and defeated R. P. l. showing
more stuff than was demonstrated in
the Dartmouth defeat. The chief
weakness lay in the line Saturday and
r. P. |. outplayed the Cadets in this
part of the game completely. This
gives one defeat and one victory 20
Norwich.
Middlebury's scoreless tie wi t h
Springfield even overshadows the open
ing win at Union and the game at
West Point Saturday shows better
score than either U. V. NJ in its
Syracuse contest or Norwich IL its
Dartmouth battle were able to exhibit.
It's early to judge yet but it Looks to
date as if the Blue eleven was due for
another State Championship this fall.

equally with the men, and when there
is any prospect of forming an organi-
cation to protect the farmer from
spectators and market gamblers who
are standing in the way of profitable
farming, the women are quick to see
the point and express themselves
Another important fact is that
every woman who is running and man
aging her own farm and who has been
interviewed by the solicitors has sign
ed readily. Hence it is evi ent that
the women are doing well their part III
the camgaign.
The responsive action by the farm
ers in Addison County fully demon
strates that the farmers of he west
and midwest have nothing on Addi-
son County farmers when it Comes to
taking hold of a worthy farmers
cause The farmers of A olsen ounty
will see to it that their farm bureau
will be supported and that it shall be
able to take its place proudly Amolg
the 2000 farm bureaus of America and
hold equal rank with any of them for
progressiveness and solid worth
The writer has had the privilege and
pleasure of visiting the Vermont farm
er on his farm and in his home as
he has visited farmers in other sec
tions of our country and he takes
great pride and pleasure in spying that
no farmer surpasses the Vermont
Vermont farmer of the Addison GOun-
ty type.
The Vermont farmer is posted on his
business, is unusually industrious and
hard working, maintains the very
best of Christian homes, is proud of
his state and is a thorough American.
He is not a plunger, lives within his
means and in ninety-nine cases out OF
a hundred has a bank account He
lives well, is ambitious for his family,
has regard for the other fellow and his
neighbor. What more could be asked
Of any man? The truth is that the
Vermont farmer has no superior and
has too few equals.
During this week the writer has been
requested by Thomas Bradlee, State
County Agent Leader, to address the
annual meetings of the farm bureaus
in Windsor, Orleans, Grand Isle,
Franklin and Chittenden Counties.
One of these counties, Windsor, has
already started a campaign on $40
basis, similar to the Addison County
drive. and Chttenden is considering it.
Other counties, such as Rutland, want
ed to start campaign at the time
Addison did. but Addison had spoken
first and the American Farm Bureau
Federation gave it the honor OF lead
ing New England in this enterprise.
The next thing we shall be watch
ing for will be a contest between Add
son and Windsor Counties to see
which finishes its campaign first.
Every person who has already sign
ed up should make it point to see
his farmer friends and urge them to
do their bit for rapidly completing the
Addison County campaign. II you
know of any one who has not yet
signed up and who YOU know, will do
50, telephone the farm bureau office or
send in his name lust a little help
on the part of each member will mean
much. This campaign is your business
and for your good and the good OF
your family, and YOU owe to it TO YOUR
self and your bushes to do your bit.

UNUSUAL MAPLE LEAF

10 inches from tip to stem, II inches
at its widest point and "a inches in
circumference. Near the tree from
which it had been picked a large guam

explanation perhaps of the unusual
size to which the leaves had grown
