Basket Ball
Friday night, February 4, Barton
academy defeated Derby academy 37
to 36 in one of the most exciting
games seen here this winter. The
Derby team showed better floor work
and passing and at the end of the
first half were four points ahead.
Not many of the home rooters con
ceded the B. A. boys much chance to
win.
In the second half however, Barton
kept the ball near their basket the
majority of the time and but for some
hard luck shots would have ended
with more of a lead. Each team
made seven baskets inthis period,
Carter's five baskets from fouls de
ciding the contest.
For Derby Cargill, Moulton and
Percy starred. Smith was the indi
vidual star of the game, holding his
forward to no baskets and shooting
six himself. Carter played his usual
flashy game, and the last basket
made by Comstock winning the game
was a beauty. Cornish and Valley
did steady work.

The
Barton Planning for Baseball Season
About 60 of Barton's baseball fans
partook of a splendid chicken-pie sup
per at Hotel Barton Thursday even
ing and after the feed interspersed
with music by a three-piece orchestra
composed of Ralph King, Walter Har
rington and Ray Smith, the question
of baseball this season was discussed
from every angle. Much enthusiasm
was evident and it was unanimously
voted to have a Barton team this sea
son. C. C. Cassidy, R. P. Webster,
and C. S. Webster were made a com
mittee to have charge of - arrange
ments and a generous amount was
subscribed to support the movement.
The banquet was a complimentary
one to members' of last season's team'
iwho were all present but one.
Among those who spoke were Prof.
Burnham, 'Dr. Blake, Revs. Turner
and Hutchinson, A. R. Robinson, R.
P. Webster, C. S. Webster, Prof. Lee,
Clyde Heath, W. P. Barrows, F. D.
Pierce, C. H. Davenport, and C C.
Cassidy. Wallace H. Gilpin acted as
toastmaster. '
The cost of conducting a team was
shown in plain figures and the total
is surprising. Barton's manager paid
a war tax of nearly $125 last year
and guarantees amounted to over
$700. It was brought, out hat Bar
ton had maintained a good team near
ly every year for many years and has
won a very large percentage of its
games in all these seasons. It was
the unanimous opinion that Barton
wants to continue its reputation for
a fast, clean baseball team and there
is every reason to believe the season
of 1921 will see some splendid work
from its nine.

Governor Brings Wrath of Legisla

' Governor Hartness and the sen
ate held a conierence Monday at the
fcrtate House, Montpelier, at which
the name of C. W. crooks of Keene,
N. H., was proposed as the new ap
pointee to taKe tne place of btoddard
ates as state highway commissioner.
The conlerence was neia in tne ex
ecutive chamber and was the result
of a message sent to the senate that
morning by Governos-Hartness in
which, it is understood, there were
several new appointments, including
that of Capt. Harold P.. Sheldon of
Fair Haven, one of Vermont's prom
inent World war veterans, as state
fish and game commissioner to suc
ceed Linus Leavens, who has occupied
that office for the last four years.
Senator Sherburne was the only
member of the upper body of 'the leg
islature who refused the governor's
call to the executive chamber. The
senator from Orange ' county sat
quietly in his seat and refused to
budge, when first Lieut.-Gov. Foote
and later, the secretary , of civil and
military affairs, Julius Wilcox, came
to him and requested him to visit the
executive chamber.
"I am here in my seat," said Sen-
ator Sherburne, "If Gov. Hartness
wants to taiK to me he can come
here."
The message from the governor ar
rived in the senate the first thing in
the morning, but it was not taken up
in executive session until the reg-
fular business of that morning had
been disposed of. Then the senate
held a very short executive session
and followed this by trouping the
length of the hall to the executive
chamber. When the senators were
inside, the doors were closed and the
senators were closeted with the gov
ernor for about an; hour.
The first intimation ' that Bates
would riot be reappointed came when
Governor Hartness addressed a joint

Governor Hartness also touched
upon the subject of the budget, urg
ino- an increase of $20,000 for increas
ed publicity in connection with the
"human resources" of the State, and
warning against extravagant expen
ditures in what he characterized as
"the serious depression in the coun

pected that a 20 cent State tax for
1921 and possibly a 40 cent tax lor
1922 will be necessary to meet the

these hills at night when most of us
are asleep; he is a worker (more ap
plause.) "
The chief fault that Governor Hart
ness appears to have found with Com
missioner Bates is that he is not a
"coordinator." The governor spoke
of having trouble when he first came
to Springfield with friction among his
men. He said that he had looked over
the highway work, using the exper
ience which he had gained in his
business, and he had decided that J
man was needed at the head of the
department who had the power of
coordination, a trait essential in a
possition of this kind, but a trait
which many of the best men do' not
possess.
Governor Hartness said that he had
talked with Mr. Bates about the mat
ter.
"I want, to keep Mr. Bates con
nected with the highway department,
said the governor. "I want to have
the department go ahead smoothly. . I
want to find some one with Mr. Bates'
high qualities and some one who can
coordinate. I have become convinced
that there is need of a change tbjre.
If you trust me, I will try to get a
man for this department who is a
coordinator one who can work with
other men."
The governor was greeted with ap
plause by the large crowd which filled
the gallery and the floor of the hall
as he came before the joint assembly.
He said at the beginning that he had
come to talk to the legislators very
informally. He said that he had not
come to dictate, for he realized that
the General Assembly is supreme.
Taking up the matter of the budget
Governor Hartness said that he would
not have much to say about it at this
time, but he wanted to say a word
about publicity which he considered a
most important matter. He. declared
that the present publicity work- is
inadequate. " '
"The publicity as now handled re
lates to natural resources. I wish
to have it extended to include human
resources. The "young men and wo
men of the State should have the op
portunity to know of its opportunities.
The human appeal is the most ef
fective. ' Heretofore the publicity has
gone out bulkily and not in inviting
shape. There has been too much un
der one cover. We should have cheap
er publications arid more of them." !
Governor Hartness explained his
idea of publicity, comparing it with
advertising in a- business. He urged
the sending out of pamphlets to. the
merchant, the workman; the executive,
telling them about the things, that
they are interested in and that they
should know. He said that he had re
commended to the budget committee
that $20,000 extra be added to the bud
get for publicity purposes.
Speaking of the present business
depression in the country, Governor
Hartness said: "We must lead our
course in a way so that the business
of the State- shall be handled most
favorably under conditions as they
are.T ' "
The governor prophesied better bus
iness conditions as soon as we can

planted one of the valley's first com

leader in establishing the apple in

of the founders and for a number of
years president of the Oregon Horti
cultural society. His enthusiasm for
the local fruit industry won for him
the name of "Hood River" Smith. He
was a member of the Oregon Com
mission at the Pan-American exposi
tion at Buffalo, N. Y., and had charge
of the state's horticultural exhibits,
which received first awards at the in

"Mr. Smith was .perhaps the last

January Meeting of Farm Bureau
Executive Committee.
The executive committe of the Or
leans County Farm Bureau met at
Hotel Barton for their January meet
ing, as the guests of the Barton Sav
ings Bank At Trust Co. Eight mem
bers enjoyed a dinner with Mr. Web
ster, which was an indication of the
fine management of the remodeled
hotel.
Numerous important matters were
discussed, including the ouestion of
the location of the Farm Bureau of
fice, which would allow the agents
to perform the most efficient service
to the members. Since the creater
part of the Farm Bureau membership
is in tne soutnern part of the coun
ty, and there has not been interest
enough in the northern part to push
the work as the communities around
Barton have done, it was felt that it
might be better to have the office at
the latter place. This would result in
a saving of traveling expenses, allow
the agents to reach the communities
where their services are in demand
more easily, and make it possible for
a large number of the members to
avail themselves of the assistance to
be secured from the office, which is a
large factor in Farm Bureau jrork,
where the office is located convenient
ly ior a large number of the members,
it is also easier to make train con
nections with Barton as headquarters,
than Newport, an important factor in
the winter time. Another point
brought out by the discussion was
that the Exchange office in Newport
would be available tb the agents and
Farm Bureau office to the exchange
manager, thus really making two of
fices in njace of one.
The membership at the present
time, according to the report of II. W
Shaw, treasurer, is 890 men and 45
W?m-en' 1716 exPenses are being kept
of ri eCptf' the exeption
of the Club Work fund, which was
raised through the office of the Gil
pin, Hunt Co., last spring. It was
voted to raise $500 immediately to
complete the full fund of $2000 which
is necessary to carry on this work
for the year.

1 1rm Bureau meetings
?-nd Natinal Farm Bu-
wwfi f,cueraiIons was discussed.
While the committee-was united in
approving the work being done, it is
impossible to unite with the. other
arm Bureaus without increasing the
membership dues.
Four of the county organizations
of Vermont have increased their dues
to $10 recently, and one other has
adopted a $5 basis. There is oppor
tunity for discussion upon this ques
tion, but it is probable that the coun
ties adopting the increased member
ship fee will secure such greatly in
creased usefulness from the organi
zation as to make it a good invest
ment. The Farm Bureaus adopting
the membership fee of $10 are organ
ized upon what is known as the Fam
ily Farm Bureau plan. The fee of
$10 secures membership for the whole
family and three agents are employ
ed to assist the farmer, the house
wife and the boys and girls. We are
already receiving the services of two
of these agents and there is a demand
in part of the county for the home
demonstration agent. The farmers
of the county should be thinking and
talking about this great movement
during the winter, as a decision must
be reached some day in the near fu
ture. The members of the committee
present were Pres. Dutton, and Mr.
Kelley of Brownington, Mr. Shaw of
Newport, Mr. Niles of Derhv. Mr.
Bean and Mr. Buchanan of West
Glover, and Mrs. Bartlett of Orleans.
Thomas Bradlee, director of the ex
tension service of the University of
Vermont, was also present; and C. S.
Webster and W. H. Gilpin took part
in the discussion.
