PAIR OF THIEVES
TOURS THE STATE
They Steal a Middlebury Livery
Rig-But 1t Is Recovered
Visit Bennington, Montpelier and
Other Places Without Beins
Caught

Middlebury and a number Of other
towns shared this week in the excite
ment of tracing a pair of horse thieves,
who made way last Friday with horse
and buggy belonging to l., o, Allen,
The latest development has been The
recovery of the stolen horse and vehi.
Gle, which was found Wednesday in
Burlington, but the thieves are still at
large,
They are man and wife, or travelling
az such, They appeared in Middebury
last week Thursday and sought board
and room at Hart Myrick's, where they
were accommodated. The following
morning they paid their board bill, but
it was later discovered they had evened
this up by stealing 81. 80 in change and
fountain pen that they found in other
rooms.
They appeared at Aliens stables at
nine O'Clock Friday morning and en-
gagged horse and buggy to drive to
Beldens. When asked for a deposit,
they explained they were stopping at
Mr. Myrick's and were driving to Bel
dens to collect bill and they would pay
the livery charges when they returned.
Mr.. McNaughton hitched up a small
gray horse to top buggy and bade
them an au revoir-but not good bye
However, the day wore on with no re-
turns and Mr., McNaughton sent an S..
O. S. to surrounding towns and put
Deputy Sheriff Noble j. Sanford on the
trail, but without success except a re-
port that stableman in Vergennes had
seen the rig pass there.
Newspaper dispatches indicated
that the same couple had operated in
Bennington, where they stole, horse
and buggy and two fur coats, and in
Montpelier where they stole some arti-
cles at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. c. f..
Wells.
The loss of his horse and carriage had
been reported by Mr.. McNaughton to
the Burlington police on the day of the
theft but it was not until Wednesday
that they reported recovery. The
uple had left the rig at a Burlington
stable, and it was only through their
failure to return to get it that the sta
BILE keeper became suspicious and re-
ported to the police. Where the thieves
have since gone is as great mystery
as whence they came.

Up Many Things This Year

Middlebury College students and fac
ulty made remarkable patriotic show
ing this week by raising S2iO0 for war
relief The fund is part of a million
dollars which is being raised among the
colleges throughout the land by the Y.
M, c. A, and the Y. w. c. A. to be
known as the Students Friendship War

the men in the prison camps in Europe
and in the training camps in this
country. and for the benefit of the
women in warning countries,
As part of the whirlwind campaign
to raise this sum DR.. Alfred Stearns,
headmaster of the Philips-Andover Aca-
deny addressed the MiddIebury stud
ents, stirring them deeply by his pic
lures Of conditions abroad. Prof, II,
W. Lawrence of the Department of
History, Dean c. B. Wright and others
also assisted in the organization of the
work, and the canvassng Of the college
was accomplished in record time. The
students averaged about Sl2 per capita
in contribution to the fund.- and the
faculty members about $50, meaning a
real sacrifice on the part of many who
had only recently subscribed generously
to the College Endowment Fund and
bought Liberty Bond.
In other ways the students are giving
evidence of their support to their
country. The Freshmen have decided
not to hold their class banquet the Jun
iors have decided to give up the publ
cation of the class year book, k own as
the Kaleidoscope, and the Sopi omores
have planned to make their annual

pendently to the Bronx
Farms, Inc.

The Register has received the follow
ing letter from f. c. Dyer of Salisbury
which we publish without comment as
an interesting explanation of the recent
clash which Salisbury farmers have
had with the New York State Dairy
League,
To the Editor of The Register;
Some time in March, 1916, repre-
sentative of the New York Dairymen' 5
League came to Salisbury to organize a
branch of the league to help them to
get the price demanded of the big New
York city distributors operating in the
territory tributary to that city among
whom was the Mutual McDermott Dairy
Corporation with plants at Salisbury
and, Middlebury in this State. The
league 3 representative succeeded in or
ganizing about all the farmers who
brought milk to the Salisbury station,
promising them the earth and the full
ness thereof if they would come in. At
that time the question was asked by a
conservative farmer what would hap
pen if the price was pushed up to ia
point that the distributors would con-
slider too high and they should conclude
to close this station. The answer was,

sas had responded favorably today
to an invitation extended yesterday
by the Illinois Council of Defense to
attend a conference in Chicago Aug
ust 16 for the purpose of bringing
about a uniform regulation Of the

While the State Council of De-
fense recommended to Governor
Lowden, seizure of the coal mines in
Illinois for the period of the war as
a. means of reducing the prices, the
hope was expressed that the states of
the central west will join in urging
congress to enact law that will con-
fer full and sweeping power of con-
troll over coal prices and distribution
in an administrative body of the fed
eral government which would have
machinery to give instant relief.
