VERMONT WOMEN MAY
Secretary of State Black Proclaim8
VOTE AT PRIMARIES
their Enfranchisement

klCll I'M ldllNllloClhChI
The following letter was sent by Hon
Harry A. Black, Secretary of State, to
all Town and City Clerks concerning
the right of women to vote:
The 10Th Amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States having been
duly proclaimed by the Secretary of
State of the United States, it is my un'
derstanding that the women of this
state have the right to vote for all Of
ficers to be nominated at the Septem
Der primaries upon the same terms as
men.
That is, their qualifications as to age,
residence, citizenship, etc, must be the
same as for men and none other.
The effect of the Amendment is to
remove from our Constitution and Stat
utes all discrimination as to sex so far
as the qualifications for voters are con-
cerned.
Therefore, it follows that women who
appear before the Board of Civil Au-
thority at the appointed time for regis
tration and who qualify should have
their names placed upon the check list.
The provisions of Chapter 8 of the
General Laws relating to revision of
the check list are BROAD enough 10 per
nit registration if application is made
within the time limited.
You will be furnished with a suf-
fcient number of ballots to provide for
the expected increase in number of
voters.
Dated at Montpelier, Vermont, this
Both day of August 1920.
HARRY A. BLACK,
Secretary Of State.

Porch of Brides Summer Home at
Thompson's Point Scene of Ceremony
In the presence of immediate rela-
tives and neighboring campers, on the
front porch of the brides summer home
at Thompson Point, a quiet wedding
took place Wednesday afternoon at one
O'Clock, when Miss Della Edith Lille,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Dean X.
Lille of Montpelier, was united in mar
riage to Paul P. Bristol, son of Mrs.
Charles Cady of Middlebury. The Rev.
H. C. Newell, pastor of the Congrega-
tional church at Middlebury, performed
the ceremony, the double ring service.
The couple were unattended. The
porch was prettily decorated with
ferns, cut flowers and golden glow. The
bride wore blue travelling suit, with
hat to match.
Following the ceremony, a buffet
lunch was served at the bride summer
cottage, after which Mr.. and Mrs.
Bristol left on a wedding trip to SYRIA
cuse, Buffalo and Niagara Falls. At the
Vergennes depot where they took the
train, the couple were met by friends
from Burlington, who presented the
bride with bouquet of flowers.
Upon their return, Mr.. and Mrs.
Bristol will make their home at 120
Colchester avenue. The many beauti-
full gifts presented to them included
gold, silver, cut glass and linen.
The bride is graduate of Montpelier
high school in the class of 1918, and is
one of the popular young ladies among
the summer colony at Thompson's
Point, where she has spent a number of
summers. The groom is a graduate Of
Middlebury high school in the class of
1916. He was clerk in the local post
office after his graduation. In 1918 he
accepted a position with the Burlington
Savings Bank and is at present teller
in that institution.

Girl Fights Truck Fire

The tirelessness of Miss Kathleen
Hunt in pumping water saved from
total loss a furniture truck that had
caught fire yesterday forenoon near the
Hunt farm on High street. The truck
was owned by George Hall of Burling-
ton and was loaded with household eff
fects. When it appeared in front of
the Hunt residence smoke began to ap-
pear from underneath the top. In a
few minutes the roof was ablaze. Miss
Hunt saw the fire and ecured six pals
from the house and barn. While the
two drivers of the truck carried and
threw the water upon the fire she
pumped without let up. Although
much of the furniture was burned, the
truck was saved from destruction. IL
was said that the total loss was $500.

WINTER COAL s1.75 HIGHER
Advance in Cost to Retailers Given
as Reason

The peak of high coal prices was
reached Wednesday when the increases
feared since the beginning of the new
freight rates were put into effect. The
present price of coal is now SITE great
er than the quotation of a week ago,
the highest ever known in Middlebury.
Stove and chestnut coal sell to the
consumer for $15.75 per ton and egg
coal sells for $3.50. This represents
an increase of more than $500 over the
prices of year ago.
The dealers assert that the added
cost is no fault of theirs. The recent
advance in railroad rates has increased
the expense of transporting the coal
from the mines. 1t costs about 50. 50
per ton to bring stove coal to Middle
bury, while the freight charges on the
bituminous variety are over $500 per
ton. The advance of $1.75 per ton TO
the consumer includes the $1.50 ad-
vance of railroad toll, with the slight
increases at the mines.

TELL IT TO THE EDITOR

Every newspaper editor is desirous
OF printing all OF the legitimate news
OF his subscription field. That is
the object Of his paper.
But unfortunately an editor is part
ly human-he. at least is moulded in
human form. He does not possess a
dozen pair of hands, or legs, or eyes,
or ears for the collection of this vast
fund of information.
That is why the editor urges you
to tell him what you know-to keep
him informed of the doings of your
self and family, of your friends, or of
the community in general.
1t is the only way to make good
paper-and good paper is one of
the prime requisites to good COM
munity in which to live and do bust
ness.
Tell 1t to the editor.
He'll tell others-if it is tellable.

and still continues by reason Of after

that the mining convention in Denver,
November 1919, will be able to do
something to revive the mining In

The McFadden bill provides for an
excise tax Of ten dollars $1,000 an
ounce on gold used by manufacturers,
the tax to be given to. the miners. The
price at the u s. Mint will remain
the same so as not to disturb the
monetary standard. The matter will
be taken up at the Gold Producers
Conference to be held during the Min
ing Convention held In Denver, Novem-
ber 1919. The Gold Producers Asso-
ciations in various states are arrang-
Ing for strong delegations to this con-
ventiOn.
One Of the important features Of
the Twenty-third Annual Convention
of the American Mining Congress In
Denver, November 1910, will be the
First Annual Standardization Confer
ence, largely composed of mining men
from the Western states. StandardI-
zation, II generally adopted, would
mean vastly increased production and
tend to safety of life and limb. The
object of the conference Is to enlist
the cooperation Of mining men in the
working out Of standard methods,
standard equipment and standard Ia
Dor saving devices to offset, as far as
possible, the present high cost Of pro-
duction and shortage of skilled labor.

porridge. fish, ham and eggs and mar

have leisure and those who work eat
smaller breakfasts and larger lunch

The clubs and restaurants now pro-

luncheon Of four or Ave courses-soup.

at comparatively moderate price.
Busy men find they can work better
after light breakfast-boiled egg or
n thin rasher Of ham or bacon. But
they satisfy their appetites fully Mt
luncheon, giving an hour or even more
to enjoy their food In comfort.
With women. too. the hearty lunch
con is becoming popular. They no
longer are satisfied with cup of cof-
fee and some bnttered cakes. Girl
stenographers and clerks take sub
stantial meal of meat and pudding.
Probably they have done n good morn

learned to appreciate and enjoy a
luncheon that sustalns and upbullds

MAKING OR BREAKING

Bringing up children is n problem
to all parents.
The character of child is mould
ed principally in its younger years
and 1t seldom leaves the pathway II
has been trodding in those days.
II is made or broken by its parents
Some parents are always kind to
their children. but firm, insisting
upon implicate obedience. The world
is full of such children. now grown
to manhood. and they are dominating
the really important affairs Of the
world
Other parents are weak and vacil.
lating. They coax, wheedle, storm
rave and threaten-but never punish
They are not obeyed. and are often
defied. The world is also peopled
with these children, now men. Much
OF the peopling is within the four
walls Of jail or penitentiary.
II is a problem indeed. but one
which many parents fail to solve
until too late.
The children do 1t for them-in
