There was pleading in the mans
voice He did so want the pigs. In
that small kitchen were the Little
Lady. the man and woman, eight hun
gry children, and six squealing, hun
CRY pigs.
The Little Lady told them she
thought it a very foolish acquisition.
but she would let them know tomor-
row what she could do. She put it up
to her personal friends. and while they
all thought it perfectly ridiculous. still
they could not turn down SO unusual
an appeal.
The Smiths began to save and
scrimp in order to help out on the
pig fund" Mr.. Smith and the oldest
girl, who worked, went to work after
a breakfast of only some bread and a
cup of coffee. They went without
lunch at noon, and the family all had
scantier suppers than ever.
The Little Lady from the Provident
association raised about two-thirds the
amount and the Smiths the balance.
The runt died, but at the end of six
months the five big pigs were mar
keted for Sis. This was riches for
the Smiths which even Croesus might
envy

About Head.

H. C. Fleming of Manhattan was
seriously cut about the head at 1879
O'Clock Friday evening when he was
struck by a Buick touring car in front
of the Throop hotel at Fourth and
Kansas avenue. The driver sped on
and his identity is unknown.
Fleming, in company with Maurice
Lame and Vorin Whan. both of Man
haitian, was walking across Kansa $
avenue to the Throop hotel when the
speeding Buick struck him. He was
thrown in the air and struck the pave
1nent on his face and shoulders. He
was taken by his friends to ST. Fran els
hospital. His condition is not regarded
as serious. altho two stitches were
taken in his face.
The three boys are members of the

cultural college, at Manhattan, now
touring Kansas. They were on their
way to Manhattan from Holton and

THE OTHER DAY
one of the coIored janitors in
building downtown was heard telling
Il friend about his wife's club. 1t seems
that the club meets once every two
weeks and each hostess tries to 'out-
do" the other one when refreshment
time comes. This particular hostess
served light refreshments, so says
her husband. but the said light re
freshments were: Candied sweet po-
tatoes, sweetbreads. sliced boiled ham,
hot corn bread, hot rolls, pickles. fruit
salad, coffee, pumpkin pie, ice cream
and cake.

standard, although the cost of liv-
ing still remains a hundred per
cent higher than 1914. Lack of
organization in the lumber indus
try, where the employer has al
ways brutally squelched it, has
forced the workers there to accept
a wage standard and resultant
standard of living 100 per cent
below the pre-war standard.
The workers in all other indus
tries know that this is the fate that
awaits them should their trade
union ever be surrendered. They
prefer to fight, even if the cost
is temporary hunger, rather than
to surrender their unions and starve
indefinitely.
This is the ominous cloud that
hangs over the workers on this
Labor Day. To them it is no more
ominous than the clouds that hung
over the world on Labor Day, 1914,
when the allied armies first began
the struggle to break the menace
of military autocracy. The forces
Of freedom did not falter then,
and the forces of freedom, embraced
in the trades union movement of
our state and nation, are not falter-
ing now in the task of frustrating
and defeating the forces of indus
trial autocracy within our nation,
and in saving America from the
misery and degradation that autoc-
racy in any form always entails.

Notice

We regret that the delinquent
poll tax book is such that we have
to send so many notices out to
persons that are over the age of
fifty years and to many that have
already paid. There are many
causes for this, which doubtless will
be corrected another year. We ask
the public to forbear with this
duplication, and aid US as best they
can to carry out the collections
speedily and effectively. This can
be done by answering each notice,
giving the facts of average, or pre-
vious payment.
The public should understand
that this is no fault of the sheriff's
office.

NOTES FROM FLORIDA

An addition to the Middlebury colo
ny in Florida was made last week by
the arrival of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry c
James and daughters Margaret and
theodore at Orange City, Fla, where
the family has located for the winter
The place is five miles south of De
Land, and the James's have taken a
pretty bungalow on Volusia avenue
which is also known as Vermont ave
nue." for there are seven other families
from the Green Mountain State on
the same street. The James family
left Middlebury October in their
Studebaker car and made Demorest,
Ga, their first objective, but after
two months there they found the alti-
tude too high for Mr.. James health
and it was decided to go on to Florida,
which trip thev made in the automo-
bile over some OF the muddiest Georgia
roads which Mr. James believes can
exist anywhere In Florida the James's
first visited at Daytona Beach with
their cousins. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank c.
Gulley of Middlebury and Mr.. and
Mrs Carl A. Smith of Benton Harbor,
Mich. Mrs Smith being remembered
in Middlebury as Lucy Elmer Mr.
James health is much improved, and
the family is pleased to have found
a place for the winter among so many
Vermont friends. Last week they were
over night guests of Mr. and Mrs. W.
H. Thomas of Middlebury, at Lake
Helen. and on Monday of this week
they were surprised with a call from
Charles f Crane and family from De
Land.
Through a note from Charles +
Crane, publisher of The Register, who
is now in DeLand, Fla. it is learned
that Prof. Charles B. Wright and fam
lily of Middlebury stopped over last
Friday and Saturday at Jacksonville,
Fla. on their way to the Pacific Coast
via the Panama Canal. The Wrights
sailed from Baltimore Monday of last
week on board the steamship Cuba,
which put in at Jacksonville unex-
1eCtedly on Friday to take on cargo.
Proceeding this week to the Canal, the
Wrights will spend a few days there
and then make several stops on the
way up the Pacific Coast, arriving at
San Pedro about the eighth of Febru-

HOT LUNCH FOR SCHOOL
PROVIDED BY FARM BUREAU
Farm Bureau Project Will Benefit
More Than Hundred

The small sum of four cents will
obtain for the school children of New
Haven a hot supplement to their din
ner. There are many who cannot go
to their home for the MONDAY meal
but who will now be able to get toma-
to soup, escalloped potatoes, cabbage
soup and other delcacies of substance
to assist in the enjoyment of the lunch
put up by mother in the early morn
ing. Mrs Elisha Follansbee is in
charge.
There are five stages that bring the
children to New Haven from the sur
rounding disticts All these boys and
girls, numbering more than l00 must
remain at the school during the dinner
hour. Some had preferred to go with
out meal at noon rather than bring
a cold lunch. The assistance Of these
students was one of the projects plan
ned by the recent annual farm bu-
reau meeting. Miss Emma Fuller,
home demonstration agent, worked
with Mrs. Follansbee in perfecting the
arrangements and on Thursday Janu-
aIy l3 the first hot dish was served.
The menu is changed daily to afford
a pleasing variety.
The project is financed by funds
raised in canvass of the district. 1t
was necessary to purchase the cook
ing utensils and stove $50 was con-
tributed by the parents and the chill
dren brought their individual knife,
spoon, plate and cup The luncheon
is cooked by Mrs. Fred Partch and
served by teachers and girls. Three
of the largest rooms are necessary to
accommodate the diners.

Ter and Mrs Follansbee organized this
benefit to the children included Mrs.
