GOLLNICK CHOSEN
FOOTBALL CAPTAIN

At a meeting of the twelve letter
men of the football squad Monday al
ternoon Albert F. Gollnick OF Milwau-
kee. Wisconsin. was elected to lead
the eleven for the 1921 season. CAP
has been a member of the squad for
three years making a position at end
ON the team during the S. A. T. c. iii
his freshman year. although he was
only able to participate in the first
game as he was i'll with the FLU" and
out for the rest of the season. On
last years State Championship team
he played strong game at full back
and has held down the same place on
this seasons team when injuries have
not kept him out of the game. The
new leader is fortunate in having the
qualities of good football player, in
that he is a hard, consistent player
who has it in his power to use his
head well and instill confidence into
the men playing with him.

Gushing for Collector

The Collectorship OF the port OF st.
Adams seems to lie between two news
paper men, Harry c. Whitehill Of
Waterbury and John T. Gushing of st.
Adams, although a number OF other
names are mentioned in the same con-
neCtion.
Whitehll has just returned to Yer
mont after Embarrassing campaign in
New England for the benefit of the
republican national committee He was
also regional director for community
service, with headquarters in Boston,
being well paid for both jobs.
Harry has always been active in
state and county politics and would
probably make as good collector as
he made director but he is supposed
to be pretty we'll fixed" and apparent
ly does not need the money"
Gushing has been fully as active in
the political field Like the majority
of state editors. it has been his lot to
sit back, observe, wait for the machin-
cry to start note its creaking, labor
ious progress, have little to say about
its construction or its main wheels and
gears, then mount the editorial ros-
trum and give three rousing cheers for
party, candidates and platform.
Political leaders have expected this
from the editor of the St Adams Mes
senger as a matter of course. They
expect it from the editors of other
leading Vermont newspapers. Now,
when the opportunity comes to recog-
nize such service-and where would any
political campaign be without news
papers?-it is only fair that the claims
of Gushing should be examined with
some care.
1t is probably fact that no single
republican has done more thorough
going, active campaign and party work
than John T. Gushing, absolutely with
out financial reward. 1t would be less
than fair if such service were not
recognized at this time.-Rutland Her

While there is no coal in the yards
at the present time more than score
of carloads are expected in the imme-
date future, if the difficulties of trans
portation can be overcome. Ever
since Labor Day the supply OF coal
has been a question to puzzle the deal
ers. The outlook for the utilization OF
much wood is also discouraging At
this time last year there were more
than a hundred and twenty cords OF
slabs in the Butterfield yards while
this year there is not single cord, so
much greater has been the demand
than the supply. The present costs OF
labor almost prohibit the handling OF
cord wood, according to one of the
dealers When the consumer is re-
quested to pay the costs of cutting
plus a nominal profit for the merchant
the price is considered too high.

Crops in New England

V. A. Sanders, field agent Of the Blu
reau of Crop Estimates, United States
Department of Agriculture, reports as
follows on the condition of New Eng
lannd crops November |:
In Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Connecticut potatoes rotted consider
ably in September, but October, al
though unusually warm, was dry and
but little further rot is now reported
there. In Maine. New Hampshire and
Vermont, October was warm and wet
and rot in potatoes both undug and
stored is generally reported. What eff
feet the cooler November will have is
to be seen. The rot caused consider
able loss, and reduced quality. In
Aroostook, the net average weld now
appears about $50 bushels, with pro-
duction l5,750000, against 2O6 and 49,
10000 respectively last m on h.
Names crop is reduced to 2l.24OOOO
bushels from 23,l2S000 last month
1919 2l4S0,000; tive-years averages,
23.309,000 New England, 3l99jOOOO;
last month, 37,lG400O; 1919, 35,OS0OOO;
tive-vears average 3l77S,00O.
Commercial apples: The favorable
fall weather allowed the apple crop to
mature well and take on good color.
Quality good, and Yields will probably
hold W. to the earlier estimates, doubt
less exceeding them i'll southern sec
tics. The total commercial New Eng
land crop in September was put a
l,23S,000 barrels, against l469,OOc III
1919 and SSl 900 in 1918. Sufficient in
formation for later detailed estimates
is lacking,
Massachusetts cranberries: Compile.
ton of the harvest indicates a total OF
about 275000 barrels, against August
preliminary estimate of 100000, the
1919 shipments of 100000, and the ten
wear average of 100000. The set OF
berries proved lighter, in section, than
at first thought, and full, normal
growth was not made on some boys
due to unfavorable weather.
Tobacco Massachusetts,: Average
Weld, 1900 pounds; production, 1000
900 pounds; last year, average " d,
1910; production, 100000. Connect
cut: Average yield, $50; production
367O4, 900; last yean average yield,
1860; production, 100000 pounds
Market and price good, thus far,
Feed Crops: Corn in Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont is an excell-
ent crop of good grade; but elsewhere
it is not so good. Ensilage corn is
quite good generally, except in Rhode
Island, which reports it only fair. The
crop matured unusually well Sweet
corn was a good crop and obtained
with but little frost damage.

Winooski came to Porter Field and
went home with a 1871 victory tucked

score of hers would have been at least
doubled. Shambo and Burns were ably

The law makes murder a crime, yet
it does not make ownership Of h:e-
arms a crime.
And so it goes. There will be some
questioning whether certain othclAS
are not overzealous in their activities.
There is growing up in this county a
"verboten" creed that rivals that oil

1t is doubtful if this is the part Ct
wisdom; doubtful whether it will at

a difficult matter to accustom the
American people to the halter. 1t IS
possible to disgust them so much with

The first part OF the meeting was

look into the needs and conditions OF

The principal points noted were the
great need of kindergarten, a draw
ing teacher, principal for the build

there being over As pupils in some
rooms the necessity OF having frequent
use of the upper fire escapes in lire
drill, in order TO be prepared to meet

ton of the rooms and halls, also in the
sanitation of the basement. DR.. Ed

gave short talk showing how better
ventilation could be secured ana what
changes were needed in the basement
to make it sanitary.
The meeting was then turned oyer

Middlebury welcomed the University
of Vermont football eleven and their
special train of supporters last Satur-
day. When they departed that eve
ming the former had left memories Of
good sportsmen who had played the
game as it ought to be played and
showed the bearing Of gentlemen. The
latter. however, gave an exhibition Of
rowdyism that should not be winkcd
at While awaiting the departure OF
their train they dispersed and overran
several of the local stores. Some made
purchases and left as they came Others
simply took what they could reach and
made good their escape before detec-
ton. The losses to the shopkeepers
will hardly be less than hundred dol
lars. 1t is expected that senior gov
eminent society at the University VIII
make restitution for these "pranks"
But the matter ought not TO be let
drop at that. There is remedy
through the courts that has been found
effective on similar occasions. Let it be
administered here. The apparent de-
fencelessness of merchants against
such boisterousness of student bodies,
which contains the worst features of
mob rule, ought to be ended And
the authorities should not hesitate to
cross a University campus to bring it
about.
