REELECTED PRESIDENT
E. B. Cornwall of Middlebury Again
To Head Farm Bureau

The Vermont Farm Bureau Fedora
ton closed its sessions in the Hotel
Vermont roof garden last Thursday.
The last business to be disposed of at
the meeting was the election of officers
to direct the organization for the com
ing year E. B Cornwall of Middlebury
was reelected president The other Of
fcers elected we're: Mrs b. c. Hawley
OF Jericho, e-president, to succeed f.

succeed Mrs Clyde Hoffnagle of New
Haven; boys and girls club work, P.
r. Leavenworth of Castleton The Off
GERS and project leaders named above
constitute the executive committee
Plans for a full time paid secretary
which were embodied in resolutions
presented at the meeting were rejected,
as was also a resolution providing that
the county farm bureau associations
employ paid secretaries either full time
or pro rata. 1t seemed to be sense OF
the meeting that it would be best to
leave these matters in the hands of the
state executive committee to secure
what help is needed to carry on the
work, and with the county executive
commuters likewise
1t was voted, however, upon recon-
mendation of the reorganization and
amendments committee,
that provision be made for the estab-
Eshment of a state office under proper
and that for the ensuing
year the president of the federation be
selected by virtue Of his Office as man
ager Of the state Office under the direc-
ton Of the executive committee and

"The smaller wooden factory was in
the building now used as a feed mill
When | knew it as a wooden factory it
was run by Nash & Wheeler, Mr..
Nash, | believe, from the New Haven
family of that name. The larger wool
en- factory was closer to the river and
Main St, and was operated by Daven-
port & Turner, and later after the
death of Mr.. Turner, by Davenport &
Clay who operated it until the COM
mencement of the Civil war. All of
these plants except the pail and tub
factory, had water power from the
high falls notice that the dam low
er down has now wholly disappeared
"All of these various manufacturing
industries were conducted by good
Woodworking, enterprisng business
men, and were of great benefit to the
village, town, county and state, and
the question comes to me, why were
they allowed to decay and die with
nothing to replace them? A large
amount of valuable power is going to
waste Cannot manufacturers be in
duced by reasonable concessions to
locate in Middlebury and put the wa
ter power at work again? 1t certainly
was busy place down around the old
wooden bridge, 20 and so years ago,
and l can see no reason why it can
not be so again, by determined eff
fort on the part of the citizens of the
village. Some money spent in letting
the advantages of the place and power
be known, and then a long pull, a
strong pull and a pull all together and
success will be achieved
"What even one good, resolute, push
ing, energetic man may do is well
shown in the life of Jason Davenport
in the village Of Middleburyl He
operated the wooden mill successfully
with Mr. Turner and later with Mr..
Clay. He had the largest hardware
store in western Vermont between Rut-
land and Burlington, the Green Noun
tains and Lake Champlain. He was the
of large foundry and ma
chine shop and stoves made by him
had reputation and sale all over the
state. He built Merchants Row from
his corner hardware store up to Slade
& Langworthy's store by the railroad
bridge. The store was occupied for
years by Beckwith and Wainwright as
a high grade dry goods and grocery
store. He built and occupied as a
residence a beautiful home on South
St. One man like Jason Davenport
can do much to build up business. A
dozen such men can do more.
"Middlebury is a beautiful village,
with fine streets, trees, residences and
public buildings, and is pleasant place
for home and for rest at it is, but
with the water power developed to its
its growth and prosperity
would be assured"

Capacity Of Industrial plants Doubled

Misunderstanding to data col
lected by various government agencies
studying economic conditions, the ca
pacity OF manufacturing plants in the
United States has doubled since 1914
The value of their output for the period
Immediately preceding the European
war was something less than % billion
dollars. Owing to the tremendous ex-
pansion of these plants during Amer
ica's participation in the war, they are
now equipped to turn out twice the
amount OF commodities they were able
to produce in 1914. This data is based
upon a survey OF approximately $780,
coo manufacturing plants.
The largest industries from the
standpoint Of value of their products
are: meat slaughtering and packing,
iron and steel flour and gristmills, cot
ton textiles lumber, car construction
and repairs.

A penalty of not more than 800 fine

Gilman McIver remarked that this

City Attorney Hooker requested
the council to give him check for his

necessary for him to go there on Oct.

SAID
POPE WAS THE
MASTER MIND
Held Steadily to His Testimony I'm
der Cross Examination by the
Defense's Attorney

Jacksonville, Oct. 5.-The defense
IN the trial of John Pope completed
its cross examination Of Rawlings
this morning without having shaken
his story to the effect that Pope in
stigated the attempted robbery of the
Palace theater September 4th, during
which Rawlings shot and killed the
manager of the playhouse, George
Hickman. Rawlings held steadily to
his story that Pope was the master
mind in the conspiracy to rob the
Palace and put across other jobs in
Jacksonville.
The defense was able to bring out,
however, that Rawlings had been ar
rested in Kansas City and Chicago
before his first arrest in Jacksonville
-on larceny charge. He admitted
being arrested in Kansas City for va
grancy and in Chicago for fighting.
The defense sought to implieate him
in Kansas City murder, but he de-
MED connection with any other honi-
eide.
Rawlings said Atlanta was his home
and he had sister living there. After
cross examination the state began re-
direct examination but this is ex-
pected to be brief.

PaIatka Asks Oeala Merchants and
Business Men to Help Find a SoIu-
tiOn for the Present Difficulties of
the Little Railway.

The following telegram was re-
ceived this morning by the Marion
County Board of Trade from the Pa
latka Chamber of Commerce in re-
gard to the oklawaha Valley railroad
situation:
:. Can you arrange large meet
ing of OcaIa merchants, jObbers
and shippers to meet similarly
engaged Palatka men Friday to
discuss Qklawaha Valley road
matters. We are desirOus of
finding some common ground on
which both cities civic bodies
may help develop and continuous
ly support the railroad. Believe
our ideas will find favor. Tele-
graph the hour arranged"
Upon receipt of the telegram the
secretary of the Marion County Board
of Trade got in touch with a number
of merchants and business men and
found that they thought the meeting
should be held. The secretary found
those he consulted ready to listen to
any proposition that might lead to
solution of the Oklawaha Valley diff
ficulty The Palatka Chamber of
Commerce was called over the long
distance phone to find out what hour
Friday would best suit the Palatka
people 1t was agreed that 8 o'clock
Friday would be suitable. The meet
ing viii be held Friday at o'clock in
the courthouse. Should anything pre-
vent the holding of the meeting in
the courthouse announcement viii be
made of another meeting place.
1t is believed that the very least
that the business men and merchants
OF 0cala can do IN. regard to the rail-
road situation is to attend the meet
ing Friday evening and cooperate
with the business men and merchants
of Palatka and the people of Marion
county who live along the line of the
Oklawaha Valley. Attendance, there
fore, of every merchant and business
man is urged.
