But Mems Bible Class of Baptist
Church Keep Up Courage

The Mems Bible class of the Me
mortal Baptist church lost their lead in
the attendance contest Sunday, 81 to
81. With the members of the Men
Bible class of Bristol as a nucleus, Bris-
tol descended upon Middlebury Sun
dav, en- masse, swapping the local
class.
1t was a rude awakening for the Mid
dleburv men. who thinking they had a
strange hold on victory, have been en-
joying happy visions of chicken pie
and cranberry sauce, served in the
Bristol Baptist church early in De
cember However, the local Bible class
takes defeat with good grace and re-
fuses to even admit the possibility OF
ultimate defeat In fact the local men
are really thankful to Bristol for the
opposition of last Sunday. 1t rather
worked as a tonic and during the COM
ing week they will put in some good
hard work and line up all the available
men.
Interest in this unique contest has
passed the confines of the two parishes,
and has become, in a measure, mat
ter OF friendly rivalry between the two
communities of Middlebury and Bris-
tol. 1t has developed into a movement
among unchurched men, led by the
Baptist church men of the two commu-
mites.
The local folks say that they still
have few tricks that they will turn
before the contest closes and conf
IDENTITY believe that the friendly neu-
trails OF Mddlebury will rally to the
support in such numbers as to make
the Bristol class take the count next
Sunday

MILK PRODUCERS
WILL MEET IN MIDI
Annual Gathering of Addison District
Scheduled For Grange Hall Nov. II

The annual meeting of the Add
son county district Of the New Eng
land Milk Producers Association will
be held in Grange hall, Mddlebury,
Thursday November II. Harry l.. Pr
per, editor of the New England Dairy
man will be present to discuss some of
the important problems which con
front the dairy industry in New Eng
land at the present time, The meet
ing is open to all farmers, whether they
belong to the association or not.
Among the important matters which
will he brought up for discussion by
Mr.. Piper will be the question OF sur
plus milk and the price which can be
secured for it under present conditions.
This is a vital matter with the dairy
men as the return for surplus milk is
now so low that it materially reduces
the net return to the farmer, even with
good price for market milk. He will
also discuss the milk price in New
England as compared with other sec
tons of the country and the price of
milk as compared with the prices of
other farm products
This meeting is one of 80 similar
meetings which will be held in the or
gained districts of New England next
week. The meetings in Vermont will
be attended by Mr. Piper Richard
Pattee, Managing Director of the New
England Association and Wesley H.
Bronson in charge of the Research and
Statistical Department of the central
association and other members of the
association staff will speak at the other
meetings, all trying to give the dairy
men in all districts an idea of the big
ness and importance of the business in
which they are engaged,

ton is well organized with locals in the
