WILLIAM VALLA HAGAR
Dies a Martyr to His Profession at
Beginning of Promising Career

William Valla Hagar, younger son
of Mr.. and Mrs. H. B. Hagar, died
at the home of his parents, AZ Wash
ington ST., Middlebury, on Thursday,
March "a, 1921, after an illness of four
years duration.
Mr.. Hagar was born in Weybridge,
Vermont, on March %, 1888. He re-
oeived his early edutaton in the schools
of that town, and entered Middlebury
Grammar school in 1899. He graduated
from Middlebury High school in 1905
and from Middlebury College in 1909.
Following his graduation, Mr., Hagar
entered government service in the Cen
sus Bureau at Washington, d. {. While
thus employed he took a post graduate
course at the University OF Washing
ton, fitting himself for the work OF
Civil Engineer which later became his
vocation.
In 1912 he spent a season on the
Canadian boundary with the United
States and Canada Boundary Survey.
Upon his return to Washington he be-
came affiliated with the U, 5. Coast
and GeOdetlC survey anu SClNSu III
Florida, Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands,
Boston, Newport, R. l., the Philip
pines and at Portsmouth, N. H. His
conscientious and painstaking devotion
to duty won for him rapid promotion
to the rank of First Officer, and in 1917
he was commissioned by President
Wilson as Junior photographic and
Geodetic Engineer of the U. 5. Coast
and Geodetic Survey.
On April 8, 1913, he married Mary l.
Bellows of Wilmington, VT
The rigors of the work in his chosen
profession were such as to develop tu-
bercular trouble, which showed its
initial development in the spring of
1917. For time Mr.. Hagar success
fully combatted the disease, but in De
cember 1919 he contracted the infiu-
enza, and never regained his former
strength. During the four years in
which he so courageously strove to
overcome his illness. he evidenced a

The merchants of Addison County,
particularly the business men of Mid

often of late that we do not feel loath
to give it to them once more. The
amount of advertising that they are
using to bring their goods to the peo-

goods, force us again to throw our
editorial comment into the hell-box

Veteran Likes Bennington Home

Editor of The Register Will you
permit me little space for the publ
cation of my appreciation OF the hos
pital for old soldiers in Bennington?
In my recent visit there | found much
of interest to fellow veterans who are
eligible to its benefits.
l returned last week from delight
full visit with my old friend and COM
Tade J. NJ. Hyde who has lived at the
institution for a long time l cannot
but express the pleasant surprise in
finding so lovely a place, with every
thing "spick and span, warm and
comfortable. The rooms are nice with
fine clean beds. The table was excel
lent, with the food apparently the best
that money could buy There is a
large farm belonging to the home,
guarantee of fresh vegetables, meat
and milk
Col. George P. Martin, the supern-
tendent and his assistant Arthur S.
Martin and Mrs Martin, the matron,
seem to do all in their power for the
veterans in their declining years. The
men seemed happy and contented. The
hospital particularly, is a model of
comfort and convenience. The nurses
are most kind to the patients, giving
them every care and attention possible.
To me it appeared ideal, a first class
hotel, in fact home in the fuller
sense OF the word.
l intend to repeat my visit there
and can assure my fellow veterans of
Addison County that they could not
wish for anything better than the Old
Soldiers Home in Bennington
Very truly yours,

taxpayers of America more than 81, 0O0,-
900, 900, more than the entire cost of
the Civil War, and we still owe the rail-
roads large sum. The Wilson admin

We cannot sell them without great loss.

NEARLY 90 per cent of all farms in
Wisconsin report dairy cattle upon them
according to state statistlclan. This
shows how generally dairying forms a
source of income to the Wisconsin
farmer. OF 189, 600 farms in the state,
173, 900 reported dairy cows at the time
of the 1920 census. The percentage of
farms reporting dairy cattle in neigh
boring states are as follows: Iowa 65,
Indiana so, Ohios2, Minnesota SO, Mich
igan 81, and Illinois 20. This is one Of
principal reasons why Wisconsin farm
ers are not feeling the present depres
sion as severely as in states where
dairying is less general.

FOREIGN INTEREST ISSUE CLOSED
BY Mr.. WILSON.

Washington, Sept. % Comparison
of Republican and Democratic methods
of handling the financial affairs of the
Government is drawn by Representa-
tive Robson. of Kentucky. He says:
THE present tax law was passed by
Democratic Congress before they lost
control of the legislative branch of the
Government on March 4, 1919 Perhaps
no tax law has been the cause of more
criticism and complaint than the
present tax law. 1t has been universal
iy condemned, and the Republican Con-
gress is in no wise responsible for this
iniquitous law The bill under consider
alton proposes to amend the present
tax law and give relief to the taxpayers
of America We wish to say at the
outset that this bin will reduce the tax
burden for the years of 1929 and 1925
SSlS, 900, 0OO-a reduction Of IS in taxes
for every man, woman, and child in
America
We have inherited this burden be-
cause of the wilful extravaganza and
criminal waste Of the Wilson admins
tration. When we turned control Of
the Government over to the Democrats
in 1918 our national debt was about
81 600, GEO, 900 and the annual expense
of the Government was around 81 .0O0.

Host Of the Inn" DwelIs In
Ones Memory.

There was time, so at least gath
er from my reading acquaintance with
the past, when mine host of the inn
was a breathing and beaming reality,

that II made picturesque stage set
ting for him as he stood In the door

| can recall no specific example of
this worthy ana hosptable man, nor
open any book to the page which he
decorates, yet he stands wildly
enough In my mental picture book,
dressed, | know not why, In tight
breeches, red waistcoat buttoned
over his round and ample stomach
with many brass buttons, and an apron
over the waistcoat and breeches.
Mirth radiates from his blue eyes
ana a smile loses itself in his plump
and rudy cheeks. Travellers know
him, and the acquaintance is q bond
of union between men who might 9th
erwise remain strangers.
But men no longer wear breeches,
except for riding or golf, and inns,
although they are again increasing In

number of motorears, no longer make

Ir ls understood the government will
ere long make a radical change in the
form of its paper money, which has re-
manned unatered almost since the foun-
dalton of the Republic The change
contemplated will be in the direction of
bills Of smaller measurements, particu-
larly the bills of the smaller value.
Two reasons justify the change. The
fret is that of economy. Paper which
is now used for government bank notes
is made by secret process and ia OBJ
tainable only at high cost. Under the
proposed change five bills will be made
from the amount Of paper now neces-
sary for four. Another reason for the
change is to reduce the danger of
counterfeiting.
