Our H, Price Wehher

The Turner's Falls tMass.) Reporter
OF q recent date in an editorial had
the following about our well known
towrfsman, H. Price Webber:
The writer is fortunate in having
many friendships. especially in his
life long profession, and one old
friend from boyhood days, H. Price
Weber. of Augusta, Maine. has al
ways managed to see that the FRIEND
ship is kept warm. He left the
newspaper business fifty years ago,
and has been professional actor on
the legitimate stage ever since, but
decided to retire when his wife, the
beautiful Edwina Grey, who was an
actress playing in leading roles to his
support. died year or so ago. Like
all oldish people with. active minds, it
is harder to stop than say it, so he
goes back to his first love and writes
newspaper articles relating to his
profession and delivers humorous lee
lures on the subject Of experiences
on the stage for half a century. His
natural bent is comedy. but he chose
leading roles in the drama That he
might sympathetfcally support his
wife's roles. Mr.. Weber has a mar
velous memory, and had long before
the days Of acting. In the old times,
when he was but youngster set
ting type much of the editorial work
on morning papers was done in the
composing rooms at night sor on the
big mailing table just beyond an al
ways open door. Reference books
were not as handy to the elbow as
they are to-day,i and more than once
has writer having a couple of uni
versity degrees stopped over his
manuscript, looked up, and said, "Mr.
Webher, what are the material facts
in such and such historical events?"
naming the subject and name and
dates required. Webber, with hardly
missing type, would give dates,
facts and names, all with correctness,
which was promptly acknowledged
by a man of most profound learning,
who only needed coaching, or a cue.
} Mr.. Weber has also, been trapped
into another line of endeavor when
he thought he had retired. Holman
Day. the well known short story
writer, appreciated humorist and por-
trayer of Maine coast seaport charac-
tiers, has gone in with the Pathe cor
poration and established a studio in
Augusta, the celebrated writer turn
ing his splendid talent toward the
films, obtaining acting talent from
among the colony of retired actors
settled around the Capital. A border
play of colonial times has been put
out, in which Mr.. Weber has done
the priests part and Mr.. Days wife's
sister, the part Of the sister of char
ity.

three of which effectively proving his
subject true-"The gospel shall be
preached TO all nations and then shall
the end come, Eye men of Galilee
why stand We gazing into heaven?
This same Jesus will so come again in
like manner as We see Him go into
heaven" and His feet shall stand
upon the Mount of Olives" showing
He's coming back to Earth again
Both were most forceful sermons and
will long be remembered by all who
We're present.

Thee" by Mrs. D. w. Wright. with

ACIDS IN STOMACH
CAUSE INDIGESTION
Create Gas, sourness and Pain
How To Treat

Medical authorities state that nearly
nne-tenths OF the cases of stomach trou-
bic Indigestion, sourness. burning, gas,
abloating, nausea, etc, are due to an ex-
cess of hydrochIoric acid in the stomach
and not as some believe to a lack of diges-
tive juices. The delicate stomach lining
is rritated, digestion is delayed and food
sours, causing the disagreeable symptoms
which every stomach sufferer knows 80
well.
Artificial digestcnts are not needed In
such cases and may do real harm. TRY
laying aside all digestive aids and instead
get from any druggist a few ounces OF
B.surated Magnesia and take teaspoon
fu in n quarter glass Of water right after
eating. This sweetens the stomach. pre-
vents the formation of excess acid and
there is no sourness, gas or pain. Eisurat-
Ell Magnesia Gin powder or tablet form

most efficient form of magnesia for stom-
ach purposes 1t is used by thousands Of
people who enjoy their meals with no

MANY NEW READERS
PATRONIZE LIBRARY
Annual Report Shows Total Circula-
ton as Above 10000

That there has been decided in
crease in the reading population of the
village of Middlebury of recent years
is evident from the report of Miss c.
E. Damon, in charge of the Public
Library. To be exact, 22l new ac-
uuaintances have been formed with
the books on the shelves in the little
room over the Addison County Trust
Company, making the total of new
names since 1911 on the cards of the
librarian 1888 The total circulation
during the past year reached 2O,646,
Der capita distribution Of about
:. The grown-ups who patronize the
library showed a decided penChant for
fiction. in fact 9 out of every 10 vol
umes they chose were of that branch
of literature. Thirty per cent of the
total were juvenile works, OF which one
fourth were of the instructive sort and
the remainder stories.
The report covers the period of 1920
from February to the same date OF
the present year During that time
2S2 new books have been added to the
library. OF these there were that
were gifts and y others were bound
volumes of magazines, reducing the
number purchased 70 263. The last
accession was given the number 1866.
The intensive application lent by
some of the readers to certain books
necessitated the binding anew OF 81
and the mending of 506. These re-
pairs were easily taken care OF by The
contribution of S13390 by the forget
full patrons of the library who were as
sessed that amount for failure to re-
turn their borrowed volumes within the
time limit for either the renewal of the
lease of the book or its return to the
shelves for the use OF someone else.
The reading table has been growing
in popularity and now contains nine
teen papers and magazines, OF which
two were donated.
The schools have frequently taken
advantage of their privilege OF engag.
ing collections of books for the use OF
pupils East Middlebury too, as a
community is included in the increased
patronage of the local library and its
interest is manifestly growing stead

Among the improvements in the IL
brarv are new shelving that has been
already put up and a new card cata-
logue to be installed as soon as posi- iDle

ORDERS FOR MARBLE
IN RATIO OF 5O-S
Supt. Reynolds Advises Patient
Waiting for Better Times

Patience and confidence were the
keynotes of an interview with George B.
Reynolds, superintendent of the local
plant of the Vermont Marble Com
pany given to a Register reporter dur
ing the week. With manifest feeling he
told of his being obliged to gradually
diminish the working force of the mill
in proportion to the work at hand In
normal times as many as fifty orders
were received in a single day but on
Monday he had found but three in the
morning mail. "The situation is Meth
er worse nor better now than three
weeks ago., he said. "If matters remain
as at present until the annual business
revival in the spring, there is hope
that we will get along without further
reductions"
At present the workers are divided
into three details of eight hours, the
ninety men being more or less equally
distributed on the three shifts. The
arrangement was fixed in this way that
as many as possible might share what
little work there was instead of giving
to some few only the advantage OF
the longer hours and extra pay for
overtime. The married men have been
retained on the payroll in preference
TO the single men who could better
bear the inconvenience of seeking a
position elsewhere. Upon them the en-
forced idleness was less likely to work
hardship. Altogether nearly fifty have
been laid off in the present dullness.
