LOCAL ATHLETICS
OPEN SEASON MAY 80
Expect to Arrange 20 Games - Con
tributions of SIS Each Asked to
Support the Team.

The Brattleboro Athletics are planning
to start the 1920 baseball season on the
fair grounds on Sunday, May 80. and
have been practicing for the last two
weeks so as to be in good trim when they
start in. Although some of last seasons
players have left, their places will be
filled by some fast material and it is ex-
pected that the team this year will be
as good if not better than the team last
year.
The local schedule, although not yet
complete, calls for 20 games, three of
which will be played on holidays.
The boys" are in need of new uni
forms and the grounds need to be put
into condition and in view of the above
which, in addition to other expenses, re-
quires considerable sum of money, it
has been decided to ask the people to
contribute to the support of the team.
Each contributor is to be asked fol
five dollars for which he will receive q
contributors certificate" which vii
show that he has supported the 1926
baseball team and which will admit til,
holder to all the local games this season
except in case one or more of the major
/ league teams play here.

TRACK TEAM OFF
FOR BURLINGTON
Hopes to Win Another Leg on State
Championship Cup-Trials Tomor-
row, Finals Friday.

The Brattleboro high school team un
der charge of Coach Stolte left
this afternoon on the LA train
for the University of Vermont state
high school championship track meet
at Burlington. The team will be guests
of the University and members will be
assigned to the various fraternity
houses and no doubt will be royalty
entertained during their stay in the
Queen city.
The trials viii be run Thursday and
the finals Friday. As usual, Rutland
and Brattleboro probably will be the
chief contenders for state championship
honors and from the ease with which
Rutland won the Middlebury college
meet last Saturday, scoring 70 points
to their nearest rivals (rrov Confer
ence academy 90, it is evident that
Brattleboro will have its work cut out.
The Vermont state championship cup
won by Brattleboro last year must be
won three consecutive years to acquire
permanent ownership, and the Brattle-
boro boys are not going to relinquish
il without struggle.
The boys are all in good condition
with the exception of Justin Moran.

LIBERTY BONDS DROP.
New Low Records for Several Issues
Many offered for Sale.

NEW YORK, May 19.-Under heavy
selling pressure Liberty bonds of ma
iority of the issues reached a new low
level Yesterday. Some of the issues
showed q decline of as much as $l.40
from the previous low marks, the sec
ond As going down to $3.50, against
a previous low of $S4 for 800 bond.
The total sales of Liberty bonds was
$2S, ,50S,000, or about 81 per cent of the
total bond sales of the day.
All classes were sold, both large and
small holders apparently throwing their
bonds on the market. Although no one
knew why there should have been such
a sudden avalanche of bonds, it was re
ported that one of the reasons was that
large corporation was disposing of the
large blocks bought during the war.
The sales brought ont bonds of eight
issues Of these, six established new
low marks. and a fifth came within 10
cents of its previous low. The issues
which made new low marks were the
first and second As, and the first. Sec

COUNTY GIVES WOOD
LARGE MAJORITY
Brattleboro Only Town Heard from to
Hand Webster Blank-Result
of Primary Vote.

There may be times when a presiden-
tial primary election in Brattleboro
would create interest, but Yesterday
was not one of them. The result. which
was total vote of 45, determined
nothing, accomplished nothing, was not
binding on anybody and served only
to cost the town money and make ex-
ira work for what few persons were Of
ficially connected with it. And what
is true of Brattleboro in this respect is
true of other towns and cities in rhe
state. The primary was held under a
state law, and all it requires with re-
spect to the results is that certified
statement of the vote shall be furnished
to each delegate and alternate to the
national political conventions.
In the 16 towns from which returns
have been received out of the % in
Windham county the vote shows a to-
tai of 291, of which 1S6 were cast for
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. In every
town except Vernon and Guilford Wood
had substantial majority. In Vernon
Wood received only votes, to for
Calvin Coolidge, and in Guilford the
Wood, Webster and Coolidge vote was
a tie at each. Vernon was the only
town to give the Massachusetts gov
ernor and former Vermonter ma
iority Herbert Hoover ran second in
the county with 81 votes, while William
Grant Webster of New York was third

First of Series of Meetings
in High School Room
Last Night
MISS FLORENCE HALE
GIVES FINE TALK
Rural Education Agent for State of
Maine Tells of Opportunity for
Service in Teaching Profession -
Vermont Salary Scale Increased.

The first of series of meetings which
the Brattleboro Teachers association has
planned for the purpose of interesting
the public in the vital need of increasing
the supply of teachers in this and other
states took place in the high school
room last evening with an attendance of
approximately 200 persons. While the
Importance of the subject warranted the
presence of many more, those respon-
sible for the gathering have reason to
feel gratified at the interest which was
aroused and to expect that the remaining
meetings of the series will be even more
| successful.
The meeting was called to order by
Principal j. L. Warren, who outlined
briefly its purpose. As an opening feat
ure he proposed an informal sing, which
was successfully conducted by Earl A.
Braman of the music department with
Miss Ruth FredrIckson acting as soloist.
Then followed four minute talks by Mrs.
/ James p. Elmer, Brattleboro's veteran
teacher, Martin Austin, c. L. Stickney
and H. c. Rice.
Mr.. Warren then introduced Miss Flor
ence NJ. Hale of Augusta, Me-, agent for
rural education in that state, who spoke
for 40 minutes in a manner that not
only must have inspired the Young peo-
pie present with desire to become
iteachers but must have given parents
and Others a new vision of the oppor-
Itunities for service which the profession
loffers.
Interspersing her talk with variety of
stories, illustrations and quotations,
Miss Hale laid emphasis on the fact that
she was interested not so much i'm better
pay for teachers as whole as in better
pay for better teachers She urged the
Importance of paying as much for teach
ers in the rural schools as for those in
the graded schools, pointing out the
greater responsibilities that fall upon
thes former class. She referred enthu-
siastically to the new normal school
which Vermont is to have, and said that
the young women who made up its first
classes would gain particular advantages
in the way of training. She strongly ad :
Ivocated Vermont girls attending Yer
mont schools and called attention to the
fact that salaries of Vermont teachers
have been increased from 33 l-3 to 80
per cent within the past few years.
: An especially interesting exhibit of
school work was made and was admired
and commented upon appreciatively by
all. The work was mentioned in detail

BAD TRANSPORTATION
HAS WIDE EFFECT
Farmers Unable to Get
Grain and Live Stock to
Market Automobile
Dealers In Nebraska Join
Lower Priced Movement
Some Stores On a No
Profit Basis

BOSTON, May 10. Reductions
reaching from - to 30 per cent were
advertised today by various retail
stores. Most of the reductions were in
clothing but one large department
store announced also a reduction of
% per cent in lines of cotton, linens
and other cuts. A store specializing in
women s clothing displayed window
cards proclaiming that everything was
cut one half in price.
In many cases advertisers asserted
that these price cuts disclosed the
marked downs used only for late sea
son sales.
From more than a score of cities in
the West and Middle West come re-
ports of important reductions in the re :
tail prices of shoes and clothing. Tight
money and inadequate transportation
facilities were cited among the reasons
for the movement Delays in delivery
of goods in which much money had
been tied up, together with inability
of farmers to get grain and livestock
to market, were said in many instances
to have worked hardship on mer-
chants. Other cities in which the cuts
were made, and the scope of the re-
ductions are:
Topeka, Kan.-One firm announces q
emo profit - sale
st. Louis-Several stores have "un
derselling campaigns
Takoma, Wash-Several dealers make
reductions of from 20 per cent to "n,

San Franciseo-One retailer cuts q
per cent, another 20 to 80 per cent.
Everett, Wash.-Two stores announce
20 per cent cut
Omaha, Neb.-Several stores cut ,
