HEAVY STORM VISITED
CITY AFTER MIDNIGHT

A heavy rainstorm. accompanied by
much lightning and thunder. passed
over Annapolis and sections of the
county. particularly the Southern
between 1890 and 1870 o'clock this
morning. Rain fell in torrents, almost
necessarily during the period. and was
driven by a heavy breeze form the
Northwest. Many persons who
had retired for the night with Windows
thrown wide open were awakened by
the storm and compelled to get UP and
pull in blinds against the beating rain
There was some rather sharp light
ming and several loud crashes oil
thunder.
AS a result of the downpour. roads
which were getting in fairly good con
dition following recent heavy rains
were again badly washed in man!
places.

effort they possibly could TO help the
company in this gala event. Mrs.

Store and never has there been such
a success at the old store, as this
year.
The ladies' candy table under the
supervision of Mrs. d. r. Vansant

Miss Dorothea Rawlings, also showed
a large profit, while the fancy table,
which was supervised by Mrs. p. A.
Frank, made excellent returns.

A Letter to the Editor
" Middlehnrv Register.

Editor Middleburv Register:
Would like to call your attention to
the inclosed crop condition reports
which l have lust received.
Conditions in this report are not eX-
aggerated and the sooner the consum-
ing public realizes the true condition in
the rural communities the better. Peo-
pie are bound to pay, and pay high in
a few months for the high wages and
short hours of industry as compared
with the long hours and very low labor
income of the farmer.
No class of people have been as LOYAL
to the Government in the past tour
years as the farmer, nor so poorly PAID
as he and his wife for the long hours
they have put in.
There has been a steady exodus OF
young men from Weybridge for several
wears and indications point to a few
more leaving if present industrial con-
ditions exist longer. These conditions
are facts not fiction. The prices OF
some commodities have advanced and
the public accepts the condition and
paws the price; but if the price of raw
farm crops advance a howl OF protest
goes up in every town,
A gallon of milk as delivered to the
milk plant or creamery will not buy
gallon of gasoline today. At the pres
ent price of milk many farms are run
ming at loss every day. This NAV be
a question for the farmers themselves
to settle by producing less but when
that time comes many children will 90
unfed in this country as well as in the
far East.
1t is high time that the men who
manage our big industries demand more
labor for a days work and for the
money they are now paying than they
are getting
Daylight saving is not a saving but
a curse to any community. 1t would
be far better if every industry ran two
additional hours every afternoon rather
than letting the men go home at four
O'Clock. Home gardens can be handled
then and would be by the same ones
who handle them now and the bulk OF
industrial labor would have less time
to stand around on the streets and
spend their days wages
These conditions the consumer does
not like to face but he is bound to
face them soon and the sooner he real
ICES it the better.
Very truly yours,
A Reader

Another Fish Story

George Alger of Starksboro will bear
witness that it does not pay apparent
" at least, to let even your own cousin
peer into the privacy of your fish creel,
particularly if that cousin be n officer
of the law. George went fishing last
Sunday. He had not read the account
of the previous Sundays luck OF an
other George. Or did he just resign
him self to the proverbial chance?
Anyway he did not get away with it.
George c. Chaffee, Fish and Game
Commissioner, possesses an ubiquity
that to say the least, is a torment to
those who are ready to take just such
a chance as did George. He and two
of his faithful henchmen, Deputy War
dens Alfred Chapman of East Mid
dlebury and Walter L. Forbes of Mid
dlebury happened across the path OF
George A. Naturally they inquired,
unoficial-lke y'know, into Georgek
success. Not satisfied with mere verb
al reply in the affirmative, they played
the Missourian role and asked to be
shown. Deeds speak louder than words
is maxim of wardens in general But
who would expect Mr.. Alger or any
other fisherman or to tell the secret
of contraband trout?
The creel revealed 80 speckled baby
trout not old enough to have cut their
first teeth. Wardens and fisherman
gazed in establishment at the revela-
ton The officers were the first to re-
cover their speech and informed Alger
that the little trout would appeal their
case to the Municipal Court and
be heard on Monday morning. He was
notified not to fail to appear and de-
fend his title to the catch.
Monday morning Judge A. W. Dick
ems endorsed Ayers plea Of guilty and
fined him sl60 and costs Of 1886. De-
PENDANT paid his fine and was dis
charged

CONFERENCE AT WEYBRIDGE
Congregational Churches of the County
Represented

The annual meeting of the Addison
County association of Churches was
held with the church in Weybridge
Tuesday The forenoon session began
at 10 o'clock with devotional services
conducted by Rev. F. N Farnum.
Reports of committees were submitted.
At u o'clock a recess of an hour and a
half was taken for dinner.
The afternoon session began at 1880,
with a devotional service conducted by
the Rev Bernard Chase, after which
two Interesting papers were given,
first on "How We Can Get People to
Attend Church Again" by the Rev.
F. M. Hagadorn, and second, on Con
gregational Responsibility in This
County" by the Rev r. B. Simmons.
This was followed by a discussion on
"This County of Ours, led by the
Rev. c. c, Merrill of Burlington This
was followed by a business session and
quarter of an hours recess to four

Delicacies don't pay Positively
they do not. Old H. c. L. is an indis-
putable witness to the fact that the
dollar has shrunk to half size. Now
along comes the testimony of another
of the H. c. family, the H. c. F., or the
High Cost of Fishing. The newcomer ar
rived with the Spring and will remain
till the Fall to aid in warning the
unwary that luxury, whether flesh or
fish, is not worthwhile. He first APP
peared in the Addison County Munici-
pal court almost two weeks ago. He
was noted there again last Monday.
The curious will find him usually in
the company of the County Fish and
Game Warden. But he has the gift Of
ubiquity and may even be in several
places at once The chances are that
he will be found always in at least one
place all the time, the place where you
least desire to find him. Among others,
the Fish & Game Law in Vermont has
teeth. Angling enthusiasts have every
reason to respect that law as enforced
in the county at the present time Opin-
ions differ regarding the stringency of
both the statute and the enforcement.
But under the circumstances, there. is
only one thing to do and that is to
obey the law The delicacy of trout
fngerlings is famous The guardians of
the law are memorable. The safest
solution regarding the Small ores, is
to throw them back"

Middlebury voters who elect to show
the courage of their convictions by
displaying thes campaign button of
their favorite candidate seem quite I'M
animous in their choice of Frederick
H. Rabbit for governor. Occasionally
another's button may be noted. To
some of the latter few we have spoken
regarding their endorsement of their
particular candidate The crux seemed
to be the Volstead Act. That statute
had ranked in their breasts and seemed
to them to have assumed paramount
importance among the issues Memo
ries of what they considered better
days formed the reason for their wear
ing of the Agan button. To the ma
jority the button signified no more
than protest against the prohibition
amendment and the enforcement law
One candidate for the office OF chief
executive of Vermont had in particu-
lar given expression very Enthusiastically
to sentiments kindred to their own
ideas on that question. Further than
that Candidate Agan had championed
the cause OF the prohibitionist, GER
tain of his supporters knew nothing
about him. Yes, they agreed that
Candidate Babbitt was a business man
of acumen. Too, they felt that the
state needed a tried business man
more today than ever. Oh yes, Mr..
Rabbit is the right kind, but will he
help the laboring man to get back the
cheering glass of harmless beer? No,
they had not bothered to read the last
article OF Mr. Rabbits platform. They
were under the impression that Mr..
Agan alone had thought OF the reason
ableness of a cooling quencher for their
thirst after the days toll. What, had
Mr.. Babbitt had been clear too, and
had he promised if elected the influence
of his Office toward lessening the rigor
Of the Volstead Act? OF course even
Mr.. Agan as governor could do no
more.
And Mr.. Babbitt has expressed his
opinion just as sensibly in nine other
big questions Of the hour.
