BoNNEY-BIssEL CONCERT

1t is not often that lovers of song
have the opportunity to hear such a
wide variety of songs-folk songs, love
songs songs of opera, ballads, songs
joyful and songs pathetic-as Professor
Bissell baritone of Middlebury Col
lege, and Mrs. Bonney, mezzo-soprano
of Middlebury gave to large audi
ence a the High School auditorium last
Friday evening.
1t was very evident that Mr.. Bis
sell was suffering from severe cold
but this did not prevent him from
showing the pleasing qualities of his
voice and the rich fullness of his tones
Mr.. Bissell's program was wide in va
riety and interesting. He sang a group
of old and new ballads that delighted
his audience His Interpretation of
these ballads and of a group OF negro
spirituals was an artistic bit of work.
Mrs. Bonney is a charming woman
with a personality that makes itself
felt across the stage. Her program
was not as varied as was Mr. Bissell's
but her singing was delightful Her
tones are full and rich, and carry with
them much charm; her voice is re-
markedly wide in range. Her substi-
tuition of From The Land OF the Sky
Blue Water" (Cadman for another
number of the program was a sur
prise and keen delight
Together Mr. Bissell and Mrs. Bon
new sing well There were four duets
on the program. One never tires of
listening to 90 That We Two were
Maying" Smith and certainly it was
sung by new voices to a Montpelier
audience in a new and pleasing way.
Together, Mr.. Bissell and Mrs. Bon
ney have an interesting program. To
gether they give concert that is
varied, attractive and entertaining.
The proceeds of the concert go to
the High School Athletic association

Hold Your Liberty Bonds

Not only is it the patriotic duty OF
everyone who purchased Liberty Bonds
and Victory Notes during the war to
hold them but it is sound business
judgment also in view of the prevail
ing low prices for the bonds and notes
in the Stock Market, according to
John r. Macomber, president of the
Boston Chamber of Commerce and
president of Harris, Forbes & Com
pany, the well known bond house
Certain market conditions have de-
pressed the current selling price of the
bonds-but Mr. Macomber takes pains
to point out that no one with good
sense can question that the United
States Treasury will pay the bonds in
full at their par value of 100 cents on
the dollar when they mature or that
the Government will take care of the
interest coupons as they fall due. So
long as the United States exists as a
nation it will make good on all of its
debts. Such being the case, the sale
of the bonds at several dollars below
par is most unwise.
THE first question that ask OF any
new customer with a small account"
said Mr.. Macomber, "is Have you the
full allowance for exemption on Liberty
Bonds1' If he says No, then 1 tell
him that they are the best possible in
vestment, even better than the best
offerings we have in private enterprises
all over this country. The Govern
ment bonds, for such holder, are free

The overall movement seemingly has
spent itself Like all fads, its life was
ephemeral; the coming and going of a
day marking its rise and fall. People
had been on their nerves edge, ready
to follow any suggestion of fancy that
promised relief to their tense feeling
Som cone in the southern states sug-
gested the serviceable overall to re-
place the costly wooden suit To denim
and Bingham was swung Immediately
the vote of the nation. A drowning
man will grasp at a straw In this
instance the straw has proven a sal
vaton
The fad is on the wane. Unlike all
other fads, its spirit, a real usefulness,
remains. The overall movement has
simmered down into a common sense
drive against not high prices alone but
against the fallacies that are the bane
and delusion of so many. Theorising
has been stopped People have re-
covered their good common sense
Smothered in the hysteria of the war.
They have been impressed wonderfully
by the present overall propaganda. Re
Election has brought home the moral
of it all. Holman respect has been set
aside. The high costs of living resolve
themselves in large measure into the
costs of living high. And folks have
turned face to face with the issue
Therein lies the salvation.
One OF the first good results of this
reflection was the very lack of interest
in the denim movement itself The
ordinary working garment for the arti-
san was in danger of being put beyond
his reach by the rush Of fancy Then
people began to see that the spirit of
economy consisted not alone in over
alls. Old clothes are even less expensive
and decidedly less spectacular. And
to old clothes people have sensibly
turned. This method of economy will
lessen the proportion between produc-
ion and demand, and we are told most
OF the ills of the day are traceable to
the disparity between the two. Who
knows but that patches" will win the
present economic war. May the spirit
thrive.

of all taxes forever. If had $4,000
coming to me tomorrow / would buy
Liberty Bonds with it, Savings banks
are picking them up in the market be-
cause they know what wonderful buys
they are at current prices in the market.
Remember, as l have said, that the
man who sells his Liberty Bonds has
not fulfilled his original obligation to
the United States Government, the
promise that he made during the war
when he loaned he money. 1t was easy
to be patriotic when the war was on;
but not so easy to retain that patriot
ism overnight"

Wilson Wants Senatorship

To the voters of Addison county
In announcing my candidacy for SEN
ator from Addison county, | would
state that l am opposed to long sessions
of the legislature and favor the adop-
ton of as few laws as possible, and
they to be of a nature that are essen
tial to the welfare of the people as a
whole. l favor the utmost economy
in all departments of the state that a
good common sense business policy
may prevail, that the present taxa
ton burden may be reduced in conse-
quence I favor all feasible projects
that will tend to encourage the develop
ment OF Nermont's agricultural and in
dustrial interests so that her capital
and young men and women will find
the old Green mountain state good
enough for them to remain in. The
continuance of the good roads program
meets my hearty approval. | am in
favor of action that will prevent fAture
controversies over the adoption of
amendments to the national constitu-
ton. The 18th amendment has been
adopted, is now a law and we should
all recognize the fact that laws should
be obeyed. However, l believe some
changes should be made in the Volstead
act so as to enable the procuring of
liquor for strictly legitimate purposes,
without so much red-tape as the act
now demands

Letter From Rev. E. M. Gould

Editor of The Middlebury Register,
Since there seems to be no immediate
occasion in which we may publicly state
our motive and attitude with regard to
the community as a whole, we ask the
favor of your columns this, the first
week of our pastorate in the village,
We desire friendly relations with all
activities in the community: eduCa-
tional, professional, publishing, govern
mental and religious, with farming,
business and labor interests. We wish
to secure and maintain friendly rela-
tions with people in every walk in life.
We now and always urge all who have
church duties and relations outside our
parish to attend faithfully to them,
but we offer to all who are without a
church home, and to all who are in
trouble our best of comfort and friend
illness. We also appeal to all who have
a mind to help to come at once into
the activities of our church and parish
to "do all the good you can to all the
people you can in all the ways you
can"
Anticipating pleasant and profitable
months in the community, we an
nounce ourselves,
Yours to serve and to minister,
E. w, Gould,
Pastor Methodist Episcopal Church.

The farmer was the backbone of the
nation during the days of war. Today
in the throes of readjustment his role
has hardly changed. His sacrifices
have in no way diminished. The re-
turn of his sons has been Offset by the
desertion of his labor. Some farmers
have been forced to abandon their
holdings of generations and move into
town. But the large majority are still
Carrying on" as best they can, hop
ing against hope.
AND the farmers sacrifice is tangible
1t can be reduced to readily understood
figures Witness the unfaltering sup
ply of milk sent to the cities at a de-
Cided loss to the producers. For ex-
ample, during the month of April the
farmers of our own Addison county,
and farm bureau officials are our au-
thority for the statement, sold their
milk at a net loss of from one dollar
and ten cents to one dollar and fifty
cents per hundred weight. The pros
poets for May are not much brighter.
This condition is the same all over the
country And the farmers have not
Struck" They seek no meddling with
the clocks in order to allow for recre-
alton. They need no clock, Dawn to
dark is the measurement of their day.
Fads and fancies have no place on their
program.

Child labor in Vermont has. been
almost eliminated, according to revenue
officers. The stiff tax imposed upon
industries employing such labor seems
to have caused the good intended by
the legislation.
Montpelier is to be without band
this year. Labor conditions in the
granite mills, where the majority of
last years members are employed,
necessitate that the capital forego its
band for the first time in 40 years.
