cases on the chancery docket, which
cases may come upon the calendar

STRANGE ACCIDENT AT
DIR. THOMAS HOUSE
Narrow Escape For Clarence Eddy,
Wife.and Child,
Bay Mare Probably Seized With
Blind Stassers, Dashes into
Thomas Piazza.

A peculiar accident occurred last
Sunday morning when a horse which
Clarence Eddy was driving 10 the village
became crazed, possibly afflicted with
blind staggers. At the junction Of
South and Main streets the horse went
wild and dashed up the street embank-
ment near the residence of DR.. S. S.
Eddy, where Mr.. Clarence Eddy, and
his wife and year-old baby, who were in
the buggy, were almost overturned,
Fearing for the safety of his wife and
child, Mr.. Eddy jumped with the baby
in his arms and Mrs Eddy also jumped,
while the horse was wheeling around
The crazed animal then tore across the
school park, grazing the side of the
high-schoo building where the carriage
was torn loose and nearly demolished.
The horse continued at an even madder
speed across the park and street into
DR.. Thomas yard, hurdling syringa
bush that was over feet high brush
ing through the branches of spruce
tree and jumping onto the piazza on.the
south side of the Thomas residence In
this jump, however, the animal became
entangled in a rose trellis and was
thrown on his back and temporarily
stalled
Clarence Mason the l0-year old chum
of John Thomas, who was playing in
the Thomas yard, had narrow escape
in running out of the path of the horse,
and every one in DR., Thomas house eX-
perienced a shock of excitement at the
accident when the animal precipitated
itself against the piazza 1t was only
through the ENHANCEMENT in the rose
trellis probably that the horse was pre-
vented from crashing through the win
dow into Mrs. Thomas sewing room.
There was no one in that room at the
time, but DR.. Thomas was in his study
adjoining, and he and his son Henry
came out in surprise at the accident.
Mrs. Thomas was up stairs at the time,
nursing her seven-year-old daughter
Sally, who had just come down with
German measles. The house had just
been placed under quarantine, but the
horse had taken no notice Of the blue
placard on the front door.
Clarence Eddy and his bro ',.er Cey!on
Cady came up to rescue the horse after
it had thrown itself, and thinking it
might have been afflicted with blind
staggers, they bled the animal and
finally succeeded in leading it away,
and later driving home with another
carriage.

CALL FOR DAIRY MEETINGS
N. E, m, P. a, Organizer viii Visit
Addison County This Month

The New England Milk Producers
Association has decided to hold series
Of meetings among the town locals OF
the New England states during the
next two weeks. The association is to
send an organizer throughout Addison
county to meet the several locals,
the idea is to arouse interest, increase
membership and solicit from the
farmers suggestions relative to greater
efficiency in carrying on the work Of the
association,
The dairy situation facing New
England is declared to be more serious
than ever During the past sixty days
ten of fifteen per cent of the dairy cows
have been slaughtered. If this rate CON
tinues it will result in a milk famine
and bring catastrophe from which the
dairy industry will be long in recover
ing. The backbone of all industries in
Addison County is the dairy COW, and
the problem is one of special moment to
everyone in the county.
The executive committee of the New
Milk Producers Association
have decided that a majority Of the
farmers could not continue to maintain
their mlch herds unless the price of milk
was increased to between seven and
eight cents per quart, Boston delivery,
They want to find out if this would meet
the farmers requirements in this
county. Inorder to solve this problem
every COW owner in Addison County
should endeavor to attend his local
meeting as scheduled below. The meet
ings are arranged as follows;
Orwell, June 4, 7;l5 p. m.
Shoreham, June ;, 7:45 p. m.
Whiting, June 6, 7:45 p. m.
Leicester Junction, June T. 7;45 p. m,

FOR COMMENCEMENT CONCERT
Miss Hoffman. Soprano Prima
Donna, and Instrumental Trio


A commencement concert up to, if not
ahead Of, the standard of previous
years, is assured by the announcement
that Miss Llora Hoffman, prima donna
soprano, and the Tollefsen Instru-
mental Trio will give this years concert
in Mead Memorial Chapel the evening
of Saturday, June l6.
Since the time of her arrival in New
York from Paris last fall, Miss Hoffman
has had succession of triumphs and
has received many high compliments
from the musical critics of the metro
poltan papers.
A. Walter Kramer, in Musical Amer
lea, said at the time of her debut:
"Her absolute simplicity and lovely
personality won her Immediately her
audiences favor and when she had sung
her opening song, Schumanns 'Stille
Thranen, with which few singers dare
open program, her hearers were con-
vnced that one of the rarest of new
eXponents of vocal art was before them.
Miss Hoffman's art is genuine. She
knows the value of repression and she
can bring to her singing of such a song
as Aubert's La Lettre, which she did
magnficently, the calm, tense emotion
that distinguishes the big artist from
the gifted singer. Vocally she has more
to offer than any American soprano of
the day, with the exception of possible
half-dozen established notables. 1t is
voice that arrests you with its wondrous
freshness, its unlimited capacity for
expression, its perfectly developed emo
tional fulness; its inherent beauty is,
indeed, something to ponder over. :"
The Tollefsen Trio, made up of C. H.
violin, Madame Schnabel-
piano, and William Durieux,
violon cello, has long been regarded as
one of Americas finest chamber music
organizations whose popularity has
grown from year to year because of it's
perfect ensemble, in exquisite tone
coloring, and in presenting exclusively
the works of the great masters.
There is every indication that with
both of these. features Middlebury will
On this occasion have the best opportu-
nifty of the year to hear music of the
highest order.

requested by Town Clerk j. M.
Burke to meet in the Town Hall
basement at eight O'Clock tomorrow
Saturday evening to discuss the

Although some sections of the
country have developed alleged plots
to.defeat the purpose of the military

knowledge that any one in Addison
County protests against the duty

Tuesday. If there are any delIic-
iencies in registration, however,
either through forgetfulness of the

guilty one as a Stacker and places him
in an unenviable position, liable to
severe punishment for disregard of
the Presidents proclamation.
