WRITING FOR THE PRESS.
Suggestions by Newspaper Man Who
Writes of GRANGE News.

At meeting of the Grange Lecturers
and Masters Association of jefferson
County, n. Y, l.. |. Allen delivered an
address on 1.-THE Work of the Grange
Correspondent" In writing grange
news for the press. he remarked, spe-
cial attention should be given to facts
of general interest The letter, it must
be remembered will be read by hun
dreds or thousands outside the men,
bership of the one particular grange
whose proceedings are made public.
Consequently so far as possible the re-
port should minimize the features of
interest to the few and make promi-
nent what will be of interest to the
many. 1t is of general interest to know
the result of discussions on public
questions brought up in the grange.
Some correspondents mention the fact
that their grange discussed a certain
current topic, but neglect what Is
more important to tell-what was the
verdict of the grange.
The discussion in the grange of i'm
portant current events and Of various
phases of farm and domestic life,
with the many problems involved. is
increasing in a most gratifying man.
ner In fact. 1t is right here that lies
the oranges greatest opportunity for
good. The grange thus becomes a
training school, a sort of miniature
farmers institute, where personal
views and experiences are compared
for the good of all. Where there is
some uniformity In the discussion of
questions by the oranges in one county
or section the reports of these discus
sions become the more interesting and
by a study of these published In re-
ports the reader is enabled to know the
drift of opinions among these repre-
sentative agriculturists on public ques-
lions. The correspondent then should
give in his report concise summary
of the views expressed, for 1t is inf
nitely of more value to know what the
members think on a certain question
than to be simply told that the grange
discussed the topic.
In reporting the literary features Of
a grange program it is better to limit
the report to n list of those who par
ticipated rather than to include in full
the subject of every recitation and
song. Any unusual features deserve
more space than ordinary routine
work When the grange is honored by
visit from some state or county Off
Ger or is addressed by some speaker
who presents ideas which deserve Il
wider field a brief synopsis of the ad-
dress will add value TO the report.

1t has been many day since a sub
scription paper was passed around our
village for the benefit of the College
Indeed so long a time has elapsed since
the College was presented as an object
of benevolence that many persons have
grown up to whom the suggestion of a
gift to the treasury of the institution
sounded at first as strange as would an
appeal for contribution to the Rutland
Railroad. The more we think of it,
however, the more appropriate it seems
that an appeal should be made for local
financial support of our own College. 1t
is well known that all education is
charity. We tax ourselves to support
common and high schools. Rich men
and philanthropists contribute largely
for the endowment of universities and
living at distance expect occasionally
to help out on this project or on that.
Why should not the people of the COM
munity in which the institution is located,
and who receive most benefit from its
work, contribute also? The argument
that the College brings money into the
community, while undoubtedly sound.
is only one of the minor considerations.
The early founders of Middlebury did
not expect the College to contribute to
them. They proposed to give largely to
the College. What they desired was
convenient opportunity for higher edu-
cation for their children, and that is still
the best reason for good local support of
the College. An added motive may be
found in the elevation of the life of the
entire surrounding region, which IA high
er institution of learning can not fail to
further. What would Middebury be
without its College?

Oscar Turner's Body not Found

Thomas Harris and his wife. charged
with completely in the death of Oscar
Turner, whose body is believed to be at
the bottom of the Wright underwear mill
pond at South Pownal, were taken to
Jail at Bennington late Sunday after
noon. Harris admits that he and Turner
had a fight late Saturday night in the
highway which skirts the pond. He
denies striking the missing man with
anything but his fist, but from the evil
dence of Frank Moon, who saw Turner
lying in the road after the fight was over,
there is reason to believe that pick
handle figured in the alteration. Sunday
forenoon Turner's cap was found in the
mill pond and his pipe was discovered on
the bank few feet from where his body
was last seen. There are also number
of blood clots in the dust of the road and
a piece of human scalp with the hair
attached was discovered and turned over
to States Attorney w. j. Meagher. All
the parties in the affair were more or
less intoxicated and it is the general
belief that Turner partially recovered
from the effects of his beating and
stumbled into the river. Monday even
ing States Attorney w. j. Meagher
received telephone instructions from
Attorney General Sergeant to make a
thorough investigation and force of
men was at work dragging the mill pond
for the body of Oscar Turner. States
Attorney Meagher and Deputy Sheriff
John Nash left early for Pownal. While
the authorities are still of the opin-
ion that Turner stumbled into the
pond while in "A dazed condition from
the blows administered by Harris. there
are number of circumstances that will
be investigated. Turner had completed
work for Pownal farmer Saturday and
was planning to leave for Hyne, Cal,
! where his sister, Mrs. Edward Rucher
resides. He had considerable money on
his person, and there is suspicion that
this fact may have some bearing on the
supposed tragedy.
Wednesday afternoon that portion of
the pond near the dam was dragged with
grapples but without result and the
authorities are now of the opinion that
the body must have gone over the dam.

To the Editor of the Register,
Middlebury, Vt.

Sir:
would like to express publicly through
your columns my appreciation of the
efforts which have been made recently
by the people of Middlebury and vicinity
to enable the College to complete the d.
X. Pearson's Fund, and | wish to thank
most heartily the gentlemen who have
assisted in the canvass for this purpose.
as well as all who have contributed
To each alumnus and friend at distance
who has sent any contribution towards
this fund, | have addressed a personal
letter of thanks, with a statement as to
the exact condition of the progress of the
fund. | shall be unable to do this with
the large number of friends in the village
and the surrounding country who have
contributed the last few days, and / wish
to take this public means of expressing
my sincere thanks.
1t means great deal to the College to
be able to say that the people of Middle
bury and Addison county believe in the
institution, and are willing to stand by it
with financial support. We can much
more readily secure assistance from
alumni and friends at a distance, if it is
known that the people of the village are
cordial in their attitude towards the Col
lege. If we do not have the interest of
those who live near the institution and see
its work daily, the conclusion is drawn.
either that the College is not purs uing
its work in worthy manner, or else
that the people of the vicinity are unpa-
triotic and unappreciative. Either CON
clusion is not helpful to alumni loyalty
and enthusiasm. The movement of the
last few weeks has demonstrated beyond
a doubt that Middlebury College has
many friends near by as well as far
away, and for this am very grateful.

ROB THE ENGLEVALE BANK
cracksmen Take All That institution
Contained.

Cracksmen descended upon the lit.
tie town of Englevale, thirteen miles
west of Lisbon, blew open the safe
OF the State bank and decamped with
practically every cent in its Golfers.
The loss is reported to be $4,000.
The town has only a handful of
population, and has never been strict
~ policed. AS a consequence the yegg-
men had practically a clear field in
which to work. That they took am
pie time to make their preparations
is shown by the havoc wrought to the
safe and vault, and to the fact that q
thorough search was made for the
last dollar in the bank.
The presence of the robbers was
not known until their work had been
finished. officers at Lisbon, the coun-
ty seat, were then Informed, and went
to Englevale. 1t is understood that
they are practically without clues.
Englevale is on the Fargo and
Southwestern branch of the Northern
Pacific. 1t has a population of less
than 200.
