Sheriff II. w. Worthen, it became
known yesterday, had recovered the

officers refused to give the name of the
person arrested until they located the
remainder of the loot.
Seventy Eight dollars of the $500 in

MONEY FOR AGRICULTURE.
University of Vermont Trustees An
portion $4,000 for County Agents.

The trustees Of the University of Yer
mont have apportioned $500 annually to
the support of county agricultural agents
in Franklin Orleans and Rutland coun-
ties. Their action extends this system
to eight of the II Vermont counties. a
larger percentage It is believed, than
obtains IN any other State. Furthermore
they have provided for the extension of
the system to cover four more counties
within the next five years. The Rutland
county agent has been at work since
early March. the orleans county agent
began work May u; and the Franklin
count agent will be chosen in the early
fan.
These county agricultural agents are
graduates of American agricultural col
loges, with practical experience SUPER
imposed upon their professional training
They are the field representatives Of the
College of Agriculture OF the University
of Vermont, as well as of the federal
department of agriculture. They are at
the service of the farming interests of
their respective counties.
The university trustees are thus en-
abled to extend its influence because a re-
cent enactment constitutes it the special
tension work The use of these new funds
in the further extension Of the county
agricultural agent system is optional and
not mandatory. Whether they shall or
shall not be used thus is purely for the IN
stitution to determine However, the s"s-
tenn now in vogue In Bennington, Wind
ham, Windsor. Orange and Caledonia
counties has on the whole approved it
self to the people, so that, after a thor
ough survey of the situation. It has been
deemed desirable to allot certain pro-
portion of these new funds to extending
It's benefits to other counties.
The question may be asked why Frank
lin. Orleans and Rutland counties are
preferred over Addison, Chittenden,
Essex, Lamoille, Grand Isle and Wash
tated by the fact that they We're ready,
that farmers organizations have been
formed, local funds subscribed and local
interest and enthusiasm aroused, Il stu
alton not obtaining in the other coun-
ties named. However, as has air ady
been stated, one county yearly will be
taken over beginning July |, 1915 in the
order in which they qualify. The annual
alOtments of Sl90 are conditioned upon
the continuance of State and federal ap-
preparations upon the development of a
strong sentiment and vigorous organza-
ton of the farming interests within the
county and upon the raising of 81 500 an
nually by subscription or taxation in ac-
cordance with No. l21 Of the acts of 1872
for the further support of the work.

BURNS MAY BE FATAL.
Peculiar Accident to Eight Years Old
Harriet CritchIOw.

Harriet, the little eight years old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Critch-
low of 400 North avenue, was the victim
of peculiar accident Sunday after
noon at her home, which may prove
fatal.
Mrs. Critchlow, while doing the dinner
dishes. put the coffee pot on the stove
filled with hot water and soda to cleanse
1t. The little girl was at the time playing
upon the front piazza. When Mrs
Critchlow thought the utensil had been
properly boiled she went to the back door
and threw the contents out At Just that
time the little girl ran around the corner
of the house and received the main por-
ton of the boiling solution.
The child did not wear n coat and the
solution rapidly penetrated to the skin
Dr. Shea was called and found the left
side of her body badly burned from the
shoulder down. Small particles burned
her face but the probably fatal burns
are those received about the abdomen.
