BEATEN BY COL
AT NEWPORT
Independents Go Down to
Defeat By Score of
81 toll

The Company l. basketball team
added one more victory to its al
ready long string by defeating thu
Lyndonville Independents by score
of 81 to 81 in a fast game in Schoo
Hall Thursday evening. Considering
'the fact that little publicity had beer
given the contest because the game
was not arranged until the eleventh
hour" there was ~ goodly gathering
on hand to witness the battle. 1t was
Il very enthusiastic crowd that cheer
ed and yelled continuously for the
home town boys.
Tired as a result of their game with
Derby Wednesday night, the indie
pendents did rot play as fast as they
might have.
There was no more or less rough
ness throughout the game. Basil
Hadlock one of the most quiet and
unassuming members of the team
mixed it" for moment with Hazard
of Lyndonville but they were soon
separated and play resumed with no
ill feeling. Bigelow split one of his
fingers and the injury hampered his
work during nearly the entire game.
Little Jimmy Jones played an ex-
ceptionally fast game. The huge size
of some of the Lyndcnville players
meant nothing to this midget.
In the last period Wells substitute
cd for Hadlock at guard. Henry
Mossa was kept out of the game by
an injured leg.
Following is the line up:

The usual dance was held follow
ing the game. The music was eX-
ceptionally fine and there was a lot
of it. 1t was a regular orchestra
made up of company men. Earle Le-
wis played the piano, Donald Akin
played the banjo-mandolin while Jess
Boynton played the tlaps. 1t was a
fine combination and many of the
dancers remarked favorably about
the music.

President Asselin reminded those
present that at the November meet

voted to call special town and village
meetings to exempt this concern, but
that this was postponed until after

would attend these meetings and vote
for exemption.
The business of the meeting having
been completed the president then
introduced the speaker of the even
ing, Judge Frank l.. Fish. The latter
gave most eloquent and instructive
address on the Little Giant, Step

address was comprehensive and

TAKES SCALPS
OF MOHAWKS
Fast Berlin Team Defeated
q to Is by the Speedy
Company D Boys

The Berlin, N. H. Mohawks
came over the trail into Vermont
last night and had their scalps taken
away to the tune of 81 to Is by the
Company d team of st. Johnsbuly.
Four hundred basketball fans filled
the Armory and cheered themselves
hoarsc over the victory. 1t was a
clean hardfought game from start to
| finish.
The Mohawks had discarded their
war paint and feathers but they play
ed the historic game of basketball
like real Indians. They had a crowd
of rooters with them who played the
tom toms and gave the old war
whoops but the speed of the more
modern game of basket ball as play
cd by the soldier boys and the fact
that the Company D team was on
their home grounds, contributed two
factors that the visitors could not
overcome.
The game started eff with such
speed that the crowd went wild with
enthusiasm. The Mohawks played a
good passing game and rather puz
zled the home boys for time. Then
the soldier boys got their eye on
the ball and the first half ended 16
to in favor of Co. ID. From that
time to the end of the game the re-
suit was never in doubt. Emery play
ed his usual speed and heady game
and Hawley, Lanpher, Ashton and
Morrison all sustained their parts in
the victory. Reid and Goodhue
were the stars among the visitors
Next Thursday night Company D
plays the strong Berlin Town team
which so far this season has been I'M
defeated The town team is said to be
a much speedier outfit than the Mo-
hawks.
The summary of last nights game
is as follows:

The People Have Faith

There is much to encourage one
in the announcement that the list OF
stockholders of the Pennsylvania
railroad shows an increaee of over
10000 in 1919, the year that all the
railroads of America were passing
Through the valley of the shadow
as far as their earning capacity was
concerned. And there is another
significant fact in this connection
which is that many of the new stock
holders were laborers with foreign
names living in the state of Pennsyl-
vania.
This shows conclusively that the
American people have not lost faith
in their railroads, even under govern
ment management, and that the IN
dustry which represents the largest
investment in the United States is not
going to the demnition bow-wows.
We believe that Congress will deal
fairly with the railroads.. They can
not afford to do otherwise if they had
the disposition. When the transpor-
tation systems are returned to private
management it will be found that
Congress has so adjusted their finan-
ces that the millions of bondholders
and stockholders will receive a reas-
on able return on their investment.
And acting on this belief not only the
Pennsylvania system but other dlvl-
dend paying corporations have re-
ported notable gains in the number
of their stockholders. The people
have faith in our railroads which are
the best managed in the world.

Reviving the Old-Fashioned Spelling
School
barre Times)

The good old spelling schools with
their incentive to great efforts to get
the knack of spelling correctly are
being revived in the northern part of
Vermont, and considerable interest
and enthusiasm is being shown in the
once leading indoor amusement. The
contests being held bark back to the
time when to be able to spell down
the school brought as much distinc-
ton as it does now to lead the foot
ball team in it crashing, victorious at
tack. The boy or the girl who could
spell down the whole school was look
ed up to as a person to be patterned
after in some future contest. In those
days the spelling book was not the
neglected thing of the present time.

Incidentally, too, there was a more
numerous class Of reasonably good
spoilers when it came time for the
youngsters to enter into business or,
the other walks of life traversed byl
the adults. So the spelling schools
ought to be encouraged.
