 Hockey Games This Week-End
 The U. s. Rubber hockey team plays State League games against Fairhaven Saturday afternoon at 2:3O o'clock, and Middlebury Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock on the Rubber avenue woolen mil rink.
 Manager Bernie Sullivan an- nounces that the Fairhaven game on Saturday will be against a fast skating, passing team. The major at traction will be Sundays game in which the Rubber Towners are out to avenge a loss to Middlebury this last week in the toughest game of the year.
 Last weekend 600 hockey fans as- sembled along the bank overlooking the rink to view two fast hockey matches.
 Coach Oscar Wirth will have his strongest lines on the ice for the first time in two weeks. The hard shooting Omer Benoit and accurate passing Henry Coulombe will be back in the lineup to form with Babe Smith, one of the cleverest first lines in the state. A rapidly developing second line with Captain Albie Kramretz, Fritz Passeck, Mil ton Dahlin and Henry Krampetz is beginning to show scoring power. Bill Perellis, Charles Carroll and George Schiller form the third line.
 On the defense the team will have Pete Laliberte and Whitey Held as first defense, with Donald Kirk and Joe Marki in second defense. 4-.

Edward A. O'Neil, president Of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
was the chief witness at the Sec

O'Neil has been active in fornu-

Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.

The farm state vote is important
Republicans express confidence that
the off-year special election results
were indicative Of Republican
trend in the corn belt which will
carry over until November and aid
in the election of Wendell L. WILL

as confident that they can retain
their farm state votes which played
major part in the 1882 and 1886
elections Of Mr.. Roosevelt.
