your command, how can you acquire so much refining and in
structive enjoyment as in the ownership of a BRUNSWICK
marvelously sweet-toned instrument that
plays every make of record and plays them at their BEST.

pear Sir
In order to avoid anv mistake, |
called your Office bv telephone, to
ask few questions in regard to the
standing of women at our State Pri-
mary to be held On Sept. 14th, next.
You being absent, l am addressing
you by letter, as it would appear that
we town clerks should have an opin-
ion OF the Attorney General, it not
beino probable that we will have any
enabling act passed to adjust the
new law our State Laws now in
force
Should each of US town clerks un-
dertake to interpret the working of
this new law, we would probably not
all do the same thing. and bad re-
suits might follow.
| for one clerk would like very
much some opinion as to how we
should operate at the coming Pri-
mary, knowing the attitude of our
Chief Executive, do not care to get
in wrong.
Respectfully,
CHARLES G.. BRALEY.

he came in the mess tent. But Ho

we shall see an abundance of big
game of all kinds when we get into
the Upper Yellowstone country,
where we shall go soon.
The weather has been beautiful
and we have had but one freeze as
yet. These will soon came however,
for last year the thermometer went
to 9 below zero early in October
But an open tent with plenty of
cover before fire of great pine logs
takes most of the terror out of even
such weather as that. And a man who

I'd on their own initiative and in
Montpelier and Springfield many
women have already registered for
the September primaries. The city
clerk of Newport and the town clerk
Of Rockingham are among those who
have announced that women have the
same rights as men in the primaries
and November elections. In Bethel
the democrats have nominated a
woman for the next Legislature and in
have announced three special meetings
that the estimated number of 1900
women voters in the Granite city may
set their names on the check list.
The only chance as yet for the St.
Johnsbury women to get their names
on the check list will be at the next
meeting of the Board of Civil Au-
thority on the afternoon and evening
OF Sept. II. Inasmuch as there are
about thousand women that can
vote in St. Johnsbury if they so de-
sire it is expected that the Board of
Civil Authority will have special
meetings for the women to register
The chief conditions under which
the registration will be conducted are
that the applicant must be 81 years
OF age, must be a citizen OF the
United States and must have resided
one year in the state and three
months in St. Johnsbury A foreign
born woman meeting the above re-
quirements, would be eligible to vote
in the primary if she is married to a
citizen OF the United States.
Women of St. oJhnsbury who meet
the above requirements should not
miss the opportunity to register and
become eligible to vote in its prima
ries OF Sept. II as there are some
important decisions to be made re-
garding candidates and some Of the
issues which those candidates repre-
sent. As yet there has been little
stir over the possibility of women be-
coming voters, this condition being
due in large measure perhaps, to the
uncertainty whether the women
would have the right without supple
mentary action by the Vermont leg
islature. That uncertainty has not
been entirely cleared away, but the
concensus of opinion seems to be,
pending official declaration, that the
adoption of the 10Th amendment COM
pletes the comforting the right.

ming dress. Black is not appropri-

gown. Doubtless the bride will
wear a hat with her suit and 50 ii
would be all right for you to do so,
too.
At q formal wedding, the groom
sends the bridesmaids flowers
