Bennington kept up its winning
streak by administering a defeat to
North Pownal, at the Allen A field on
Sunday, to the tune Of 8 to 4 The
visiting nine was supposed to be made
up OF some 'peppery" players but the
loyal rooters from North Pownal saw
their team go down to defeat. They
also saw how j. Burns held the yisi-
tors scoreless until the eighth in
ming. And they also saw their only
hopes of score, when in the eighth,
they scored four runs.
]. Burns, who was selected to do
tn twirling for the locals was op-
posed by Baker. Burns was rather
inclined to be erratic on the start, but
from then on, he twirled like demon.
Baker pitched good brand of ball,
but had he received better support,
the game would have been thriller.
Baker was nicked for Is hits. Scott
was The heavy hitter Of the afternoon,
four bingles to his credit.
North Pownal had grand reception
in the eighth, when they sent four
runs acros the plate. Two Of their
hits in this inning were circuit clouts

Apathy in Presidential
 Campaign Movement

 The democrats were conducting an honest canvass. Cox was pursuing his campaign on sane issues. He was proceeding on principle rather than on the tricks of politics.
 The democracy had an. appeal for the masses. The party represented by Cox was progressive. And Cox him self was the embodiment of progress sivism as opposed to the reactionary ideas of Harding, Lodge and Pen rose.

This is queer world. A fat man $ food makes him fatter and thin man $ food makes him thinner.
 Many woman who has had three diff ferent husbands in five years thinks it is terrible the way some nations permit polygamy.
 A lot of our duties are neglected for want of time. But we can always lind time for pleasure.
 As a rule when your wife has some thing she wants to talk to you about she wants to talk to you about something she hasn't got
 Every now and then a small boy and a married man feel like kicking over the traces and doing as they durn please. Another reason why fat woman hates to get on the scales is because the biz, clumsy, re-enforced corset she is wearing weighs five or six pounds.
 Prohibition has convinced lot of men that a water wagon is a helluva vehicle for joy riding purposes.

Governor of Massachusetts
 Is Not a Reckless Spender

@ ALVIN COOLIDGE may or may N not be elevated to the "twi- light zone" of the vice presidency in November, but he yields precedence to no man in practicing thrift. The ar- nouncement that he paid $32.5C month house tent-occupying half house, by the way-made him en- vied by millions of less fortunate Americans at the mercy of greedy landlords.
 Now comes the further information that Calvin has not bought suit of clothes in eighteen months, and it has been two years since he bought a pair of shoes. There are many other people 1T America who hold long distance buying records equal to or greater than the record of Calvin Coolidge, but they are not as much in the public eye and the berefit of their good example does not reach as far. Nobody has ever accused the Massachusetts governor of being parsimonious. He is no Russell Sage, but he inherited thrift from his New England ancestors and whatever sue cess in life has come to him, it. has not brought in it's train luxurious and enervating habits.
 The thrift campaign is already we'll under way. Prices are coming down and profiteers are trembling in .hcir boots. What we need to carry the consumer lover the top" is a few more thrift experts like Governor Coolidge, whose economies get into the public prints and are exploited on the motion picture screen.

a E E Putting Teeth in the Sheep-killing Dog Law

1H HE committee on public health of U the lower house of the Ala bama legislature wisely defeated a bill to repeal the dog law and favora- ply reported a bill of the administra- tion to put teeth into it.
 The dog law has passed the senti- mental stage. It is question of use. ful and money-producing live stock on one hand and destructive animal on the other. Human life is also in the counterbalance. That ought to settle it and has done so in the minds of real farmers.
 The dog owner is deprived of no
