NEWS AND CITIZEN
"A. A. Twiss Managing Editor

We stated last week that Hon
Norman Waterman might be pre-.
vailed upon to accept another term as
assistant judge, position which he
has. well and most ably filled for a
number of years. We have since
Z learned that Mr.. Waterman will moi
be candidate for denomination
much to the regret of the entire
county. If this is fact, we know of
no better man for the position than
H. I. Randall of Wolcott. Wolcott
has not had an assistant judge in
many years and Mr.. Randall would
well represent his town and be a
credit to the county.
Here is chance for enterprising
boys and girls to show their skill in
keeping records of maple sugar pro-
duction this season. The State Bank
ers' Association has set aside the
sum of $35 Of the money which they
annually give for prizes in the boys
and girls club work in the state.
This is a splendid move and will tend
to greatly encourage the young
sugar makers in becoming more and
more interested in one of the leading
industries of Vermont A special
record book has been provided for
this purpose and several young
people in each county are interesting
themselves in the plan. The first
prize for the best work along this line
will be $40.
Lovers of the great American
game, baseball, will be interested in
watching the result of the big league
games from now until the middle of
October-the opening of the season
began today. There is no better out
door game than baseball and it would
seem that everybody, old and young
alike, are becoming more and more
interested in the great game. The
town is indeed a back number that
hasn't a baseball team. How about
your town? Have you become inter-
ested enough to do your best in pro-
noting and encouraging an organiza-
ton? go to it" and give good help
to the boys in their efforts to organ
ize team. Remember, that it takes
money to make the mare go" and
likewise to organize and keep in exist
ence live baseball team.
