NEW CLOSING HOUR
Postoffice Will Close at o'clock After
February First

New closing hours for the postoffice
are to go into effect beginning Febru-
ary l, according to Postmaster Cal
houn The office will close at s o'clock
each evening instead OF 8 o'clock as
heretofore Mr. Calhoun has received
instructions from the assistant post
master general putting the order into
effect on the above date,
The reason that the Office has been
kept open until nine was the fact that
the southbound sleeper did not take
mail from tn station box, and so pat
rons were not able to send mail out
after s O'Clock. After. February |, how
ever, train AZ, southbound, will take
mail, so that Middlebury people can
drop letters into the station box after
s O'Clock and they will be sent The
closing hour of 8 o'clock has been in
effect since 1915.

INTENSE COLD PREVAILS
Middlebury Held In Grip of Prolonged
Cold Wave

But little relief was offered from the
intense cold which has prevailed all the
week, thermometers registering from
l5 to % below zero this morning in
Middlebury.
The cold snap started Monday morn
ing and was preceded by driving
blizzard all day Sunday, the high winds
driving the snow and blocking the
roads. During the week extreme tenn
peratures were reported locally, vary
ing from 20 degrees below to 49, Al
lowing for discrepancies in thermome-
ters, it is probable that Middlebury en-
dured a temperature of at least 32 de
grees several times this week Tuesday
morning was the coolest.
Extreme low temperatures were re-
ported from all parts of the state, the
lowest being 40 degrees at Woodstock,

 MORE HYDR0ELECTRIC POWER USED IN JAPAN
By Assoclated Pres.

Tokio, October 21-Power produced by hydro electric plants in Japan continue to show steady growth. The generating power recorded an in crease of 10000 kllowatts during the first half of last year over the cor responding period of the preceding year. and an increase of 61.000 kilo- watts during the first of the current year over the corresponding period of the preceding year.
 This growth of generating power is chiefly due to the development of hydro electric enterprises. The of ficial returns recently published put the increase of the capital last year at e4.000.000 yen and this year at IA, 100000 yen. The number of companies, however, records quite limited growth. This fact Is due to the amalgamation of minor concerns. The Tokio Elecetric Light company has registered an increase of it's capital in consequence of amalgama ton by something like 54,000,000 yen during the first half of the current year.
