"There are not enough hours in
the day for all of my activities, -
said the Judge from the bench
Therefore l have forwarded my
resignation as federal judge to
Washington effective March L."
The judge then called the first
case on his docket and refused to
discuss the matter until court re-
cessed.
Judge Lands will have virtu-
ally completed II years as judge
for the northern district of Him
ois when his resignation becomes
effective. Judge Landis would
have resigned some time ago but
for the attacks made on him by
Senator Dial of South Carolina
and the notoricty brought through
his handling of the case of Willie
Dalton, II years old bank robber.
On the verge Of rcsigning when
these things came up, the judge
changed his plan informing
friends he would never resign un-
der fire.
The judge became head of Or
ganizcd baseball shortly after the
grand jury investingation of the
1919 World Series scandal.

TAXPAYER ON
TOWN CLERK FEES
Says Legislature Doubled
Salaries In 1918 When
High Enough

Apropos of the discussion which
Charles G. Bralcy has started in
Vermont over the reduction of
taxes J. A. Mcdowell of Shelf
field contributes the following let
ter to the Lyndonville Union
Journal:
| notice what the town clerk
Of St. Johnsbury says concerning
cutting taxes, etc, and | wish
right now to say a word about
town clerks fees which were
doubled by the legislature of 1913
The facts of the case are that the
fees we're plenty high as they were
before the salary grab and if Mr..
Bralcy wishes US to believe he is
in earnest we shall soon see an
article to the effect that he will
record notes, mortgages, etc, at
the old fee. | would call attcn-
ton to the fact that men and
good ones can be hired this year
at S1.00 per day and board gainst
$3.50 last year, and that every
thing we poor farmers have to
sell is way off. | think while |
am in the mood | would like TO
a word about town finances. The
time is near at hand when small
towns like this ono and Whcclock
will be unable to borrow money
at the banks unless we have diff
ferent handling of the town af-
fairs. Since came to this town
in 1917 the grand list has been
raised all of onc-third, the rate
per cent has been nearly doubled
and still our town heads have had
to borrow money before they
could pay the first order of the
teachers and each year has added
more debt for tn" town. TO close
! would say it is high time to 20
slow and try and leave things 50
our grandchildren will have Il
chance after we are through.

NEWPORT BEATS
BARRE BY
SCORE OF 34-l4
Border City Five Plays
Fast Game In Hard
Fought Match

In fast and hard fought game
the Legion team from Barre were
outplaycd "a to Ia at Newport
Friday night. The first part of
the game was fairly close but the
score was soon enlarged to the
local quintets favor.
The Co. L-Amcrican Legion ag-
gregation played a good passing
game and more team work was
shown than that of the opponents
from Barre.
When "Buster" Bigelow the
first string Newport forward, was
ushercd into the game, things be-
gan to hum, as he repeatedly
broke from HaSkett and Swishcd
the ball through the meshes.
"Stcve" Keith and Jimmy Jones
played versatile guard games, and
Baker, who made his debut as a
regular, gave a good account OF
himself
For Barre. "Mikc" Ccrasoli was
the star. He played Il hashy
yame and reminded the court fans
of the indomitable BILLY" Mossa.
Haskell made some nice shots
and Wilson played a steady game.
The zero weather daunted the
crowd but those present witness
cd a good game.
Between periods referee Buck
announced that the n. H. S.. Co,
L.-Legion game would be played
at the Armory Tuesday evening,
Feb. 81. The first of series of
games.
FIRST PERIOD
"Shy" kennison broke the ice
and soon made basket, Stevens
followed with one. Wilson of
Barre dribbled halfway down the
court and put in a nice side shot,
Stevens placed another and was
followed by his tcammate, Keith.
Wilson scored again for the
Granite city quintet and Haskell
duplicated. "Esau" Wells Gagged
one and Wilson placed Double
marker for Barre which ended
the scoring this period.
SECOND PERIOD
Cluster" Bigclow began the
scoring this period. Keith fol-
lowed with one and Buster"
swishcd the meshcs for two more.
Jones placed one and Kcnnison
Gagged two more through the hoop.
THIRD PERIOD
Buster" again broke away
from IIa5kctt and scored. Udsk-
cit followed with two spectacular
shots over half the length of the
court Buster ended the scor-
ing on Il nice mesh cleavc
The prcliminal- game was won
by the Tigers s to &. The
Bloodhounds arc not discouraged
but arc laying for the Tigers in

NEW RADIO FILTER A MARVEL
phone and Telegraph
= MessaQes.

Although much has been said and
written about the remarkable filters
employed by the telephone lines and
by advanced radio workers for the
separation Of telephone and telegraph
messages. says the Scientific Ameri-
can. it remained for DR.. Frank
B. Jewett, chief engineer of the West
ern Electric company. to demonstrate
how the filter permits Of transmitting
radio telephone and telegraph mes
sages simultaneously. and OF separating
these messages at the receiving end,
at meeting of the American Insti-
tute of Electrical Engineers.
The present electrical filter is the
invention Of DR.. G. A. Campbell,
telephone engineer, and makes 1t pos
sible to separate the various frequen.
cies at which the individual tele-
phone and telegraph messages are car.
ried. The detected electrical current
in radio receiving set is passed
through the filter which separates the
freQuencies of the telegraph message
from those of the telephone.
The filter differs materially from the
ordinary tuned circuits familiar to the
radio enthusiast, since it separates not
single freQuencies but bands OF fire.
Quencies OF any predetermined width.
The filter makes 1t possible to sep
arate the band Of frequencies COM
prising the telephone message from the
band comprising the telegraph mes
sage. 1t can also separate one tele.
