seem to be their best bet. Stan
Eoveleskie, spitball manipulation, was
due to hurl for the Mats.
Considerable satisfaction was de-
rived by the Griffs and the 10000
odd spectators, including a generous
representation of fair fans, who took
advantage of the first ladies day"
of the season, by the emphatic man

WEIGH and Simmons with the bases
loaded in the sixth. when Zach was
compelled to retire.
Mats Start Scoring Early.
The we'll known squeeze play, which
Clark Griffith takes credit for perfect
ing. was employed by the Nationals
to obtain the first tally of the pastime
in round ., after LieboId had been left
at the midway following his single
in the opener. Judge led with a
r-ir Il
up on Bluege's sacrifice and counted
while Rommel was fielding Peck's
little tap.
Returning to the attack in the fol
lowing frame the Griffs treated Rom
mel rather rudelv and chased a pair
over the platter with a brace of
doubles and as many singles. The
first of the monosacks, by Zachary
was wasted when Liebold hit into
double play. but Harris raped over
Miller'S head for two bases and scored
on single TO center by Rice, who
moved up on a passed ball and count
ed when Goslin poled a hit to right
that he stretched to two bases by fast
leg work. Judge then walked, but
Rommel snuffed the rally by whiting
Bluege.
Bishop and WeIch both drew free
tickets TO no purpose in the first
inning when Simmons drilled into a
dual killing, while Galloway's single
in the second and Hale's double with
two gone in the third also were vast
ed, but it was different in the fourth,
when the AS displayed some punching
proclivity. combined with Zachary S
unsteadiness, to knot the count.
Simmons Gets a Homer.
Simmons blasted open the session
pith a prodigious poke into the dis
tant left field stand for a round trip
of the bases. Passes to Miller and
Galloway garnished Poole's pop-up
and when Perkins, batting for
CoCkrane, was hit on the hand the
corners were crowded. This put the
issue squareiy up to Rommel and the
red-shirted finger proved his mettle
by Slashing a safety to left that scored
Miller and Galloway. Zach then pulled
himself together, Bishop being vic
timized on strikes and Hale rolling to
Harris.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION. Vt,

surrounding sections of Vermont and

EARN YOUR PAY, Or QUIT

Quite hulabaloo is being raised because a
chief in the Treasury Department at Washing
ton where many thousands of men and women
are employed at substantial salaries has posted
signs warning the employees that being on the
government payroll carries with it an obligation
to work, The signs in question provide that the
clerks must arrive by nine, and be ready to
work. That they must work till 4:30 and must
stop gossiping and visiting during the Office
hours. 1t is further provided, and this is par
ticular point Of grievance, that the lunch hour
is provided for luncheon purposes, and that the
habit of eating lunch in the Offices on govern
ment time, for which the taxpayers are paying,
and then using the lunch period for business
and other affairs must be stopped. The man
and woman on the farm with a working day
from sunrise to sunset and later, is not apt to
allow their sympathy to run away with them,
because the government clerks are being asked
to meet these requirements. The shop girl the
Office worker, and the men and women in the
mills of the country who begin at eight or ear
lier and work till long after the government
hour, are not expected in the immediate future
to march on Washington, demanding that these
rules be revoked.

MILFORD. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 81, 1925

THE CONGRESS NOW SITTING which will
end its life on March 4th is not the best Con-
gress by any means, neither is it the worst. In
justice to the men in house and senate who from
the beginning have been endeaVoring to do their
duty, the general disposition to tar all the men
with one great brush is unfair. There are
slackers laggards and obstructionists as in ev-
cry legislative body, but it must not be forgot
ten that the delaying tactics which are CRITICS.
ed by many newspapers are part of deliberate
democratic and insurgent plan of campaign. It
is not to be denied there are congressman who
during this short session are showing vastly
different attitude than they did before the last
election. They had their ears to the ground at
that time, and have learned the lesson and are
seeking to profit by it. Whatever the motive of
their conversion they are entitled to credit for
the change. Therefore before giving way to
wholesale attacks it is only fair to credit con-
gress with the development of a disposition to
really aid the President
