BURR AND BURTON NOTES

| Last Friday evening very inter.
esting basket ball game was staged
at the Burr and Burton Gymnasium
The Burr and Gurton Girls team sue
ceeded in defeating the Bennington
High School Girls with a well earned
score Of 26 TO ID. This was the open
ing game Of the girls season and the
result was exceptionally pleasing to
all the Seminary supporters.
1t is difficult to assign special credit
to any of the players, for both teams
worked hard and gave a remarkable
exhibition Of skill and team work.
The pass-work done in the game is
seldom excelled by preparatory school
teams, and the whole contest showed
the result Of preparation and prac-
tice by both teams. The Burr and
Burton forwards demonstrated mark
ed ability and, with keen eyes and
steady hands, they piled up the win
ming score. The center and side-cen-
ter kept the game moving on their
respective sides of the line, while il
would be difficult to find faster, bet
ter pair Of guards than those who rep
resented Burr and Burton. Benning-
ton also showed fine ability and team
wo..k aid did its best to make Burr
and Burton earn the final score. Mss
Weld Lyons, captain and center Of the
Bennintgon team, showed especially
fine work and gave her opponents
merry chase for the ball Good
sportsmanship and clean play wee
evident throughout the whole period.
Much enthusiasm developed at tie
yale and the Seminary rooters made 4
themselves heard both for Burr and .
Burton's and for Bennington's good I.

MRS. W. FAY BREWSTER

Many hearts were made sad wher
the death Of Mrs. w. Fay Brewster
took place December %, 1920. Though
her health had been far from good
during the past six months, there was
the shock Of surprise when the end
came.
Carrie A. Hasting was born in
Hebron, N. Y, and at an early age was
adopted into the family Of Homer
Johnson, and at the time Of her mar
riage on December II, 1873, was liv-
ing in Dorset. The first years Of her
married life were spent in East
Rupert, thence removing to Manches-
ter, where she spent the remaining
years.
In Manchester Mrs Brewster was
greatly loved and esteemed. Kind and
loving in her disposition, she made en-
during friendships. Retaining connec-
tion with the Church in Dorset, Mrs.
Brewster was for years a valued mem
Der Of the choir Of the First Baptist
Church at Manchester Center and took
part in all the church life and activi-
ties. "a true Christian woman has
passed to the bright beyond" The
husband, children, Mrs. C. Z. Young
and C. o. Brewster, with the grand
Robert and Helen Brewster,
have the sympathy of the entire COM
murity in the great sorrow which has
entered their lives.
Mrs. Brewster loved her home. She
was a home maker, and into this home
al who knew her loved to come, for
her welcome was always genuine. She
has entered rest. Her memory is
precious. Her life an incentive to bet
ter things.
God calls our loved ones, but we
lose not wholly what He has given.
They live in thought end deed, as truly
IS in His Heaven"

This weeks basket ball attraction
is Brandon High School versus the
Burr and Burton boys. The local
team will encounter the fast Brandon
quintet on Friday evening at o'clock
in the Gymnasium. Last year the
game with Brandon caused consider
able excitemegt but ended with de
cisive victory for the Seminary. This
annual game is always a stiff one and
the winning score is guaranteed TO be
hard earned. II is expected that
Brandon will offer even greater oppo-
sition than usual, in preparation Of
which our boys have been putting in
hard, regular practice. A large at
tendance is hoped for.

FERTILIZER MARKET
is STILL HIGH

To the Farmers Of Bennington Co.
Last year at this time the farmers
Of tLis county with the cooperation of
the Farm Bureau had purchased 40
tons Of raw fertilizer materials at al
approximate saving Of $1,000 These
same farmers and others, are anxious
to repeat their orders this season. It
seems. however, to be the best policy
to mold Off a bit.
Fertilizer prices are, at present,
much too high. In many cases they
are lrger than last year. This seems
so unwarranted that the Department
Of Agriculture have sent notifications
to the fertilizer trade as follows:
with the break in general commodity
prices, there has been a recent, break
Of fertilizer materials. The Dep ,-t-
ment is strongly Of the opinion thrt
prices fixed for tho entire spring trade
TO July /, 1921, are not justified. Your
prices should have been lowered row
TO the fullest extent and they should
be still further lowered later If condi-
tion9 in the fertilizer material market
justify" The Federation Of American
Farm Bureaus have also taken similar
steps. A reaction is bound to take
place.
There has been no time in recent
Yeas when the saving TO be realized
from the home mixing Of fertilizers is
as grest as it is today.
Present prices are approximately
Of Soda $1,000 per ton, Acid
Phosphate s26.50 and MurAte Of Pot
ash s115. We look for at least a $40
lrop in all these quotations and urge
he farmers to hold off until a read.
ustment is made As soon as that is
lone. orders will be solicited as in
