she'd pour in some cold water, and
then some hot water and the more
she wrestled away, the less sign of
butter was there.

Band Working at Minstrel

The committee in charge of the
benefit minstrel for the Middlebury
Band reports that very satisfactory
progress is being made in the choice
of a cast and the early rehearsals. The
date of the show has been advanced
to October "A, the only available eve
ming on which the town hall could be
rented.
There is an unusual appeal in the
band minstrel, say the committee, in
that the members do not seek any
compensation for themselves from the
proceeds of the entertainment but
only financial assistance in their am
bition to make the local organization
one of the very best in the state. They
realize that at the present time many
of their number are yet quite ineXperi-
enced and that their hopes to he rank
ed among the topnotchers may appear
vain. Their plans however include a
program of really hard work. They
have agreed to meet for winter prac-
ticc weekly, beginning November 10.
The lessons of teamwork learned dur
ing the past summer have convinced
them that they have the nucleus of a
strong band if they would but practise
sufficiently. But to practise a band
needs good instruments, for the pur-
chase Of which the local boys desire
to enlist the cooperation OF the towns
people. 1--WE want to entertain them
the better next summer and to adver-
tiSe the town with a good band that
will bring its name all over the state
we hope" is what they say, and we
only ask them to support us in this
minstrel venture by coming to listen to
another kind OF entertainment, which
too Will be our best effort
Certain talent among the college
boys has been recruited for the Minis
trel, which with we'll known voices and
laughmakers of the village ought to
assure the bandmen Of full house.

A Successful Function

Addison County is entitled to be
proud of the highly successful cere-
monial last Saturday at Weybridge on
the occasion OF the dedication of a sta
tue in honor of the Morgan horse,
Though the bronze memorial was the
gift of the Morgan Horse Club Of
America and though this heoric statue
stands upon the grounds Of the United
States Morgan Horse farm and is in
the custody of the federal government
it was the efforts of Addison County
folks, our farm bureau and grange
members which contributed to the Sic
cess of the occasion by an attendance
numbering thousands.
Favored by the fairest of skies dur
ing practically the entire day, with
landscape beyond the power of words
to describe and with finesse of detail
rs to arrangements, those in charge of
this function which will become mem
Urable could not but achieve success.
1t was throng representative of
Vermont that witnessed the unveiling
Of the statue. There were men and
women from all parts Of the state and
from all walks in life Though it was
an occasion for relaxation and pleasure
as one studied the crowds it was to
discover that there was an absence of
the purely frivolous AS men and
women discussed among themselves
problems of community interest one
could contrast the spirit of their con
versations with the gossiping of a
county fair with its myriad distractions
and attractions.
The occasion of the coming together
Of large part of the population of
Addison County on the occasion of
paying a tribute to a dumb brute was
not made a gathering merely Of pleas
IRE seekers. 1t afforded opportunity
Tor, as it were, post-season exchange
Of ideas, clearing house OF comment
concerning crops and a gathering place
for the county folks.

Rutland will next week welcome
those who can be truly called the home
missionaries of the state-the school
teachers and school masters, who will
gather in the Marble City for their
annual convention. If, aside from those
directed by religious organizations, one
wishes to find home missionaries let
him attend the annual state conven-
ton of Vermont school teachers.
The influence carried into the homes
by pupils in the schools is directed
through the efforts of the women and
men who instruct the boys and girls in
such institutions. The young woman
who labors five days a week to instruct
pupils in a school room is doing more
to enhance the welfare of the commun-
ity in which she finds herself than IS
many a person engaged in professional
uplift work which, to a considerable
degree, is superficial in result.
