.DAIRYMEN HERE MAY
STRIKE ON MONDAY
II City Dealers Do Not Recognize
League
Meeting Here last NishtVotsd 10
Stand by the League

Dairymen of Middlebury and vicinity
who are members Of the New York
State Dairymen's League, and who ship
from here seven tons of milk daily TO
New York City, met in the Grange
Hall last night and voted to Withhold
milk from shipment to the New York
City dealers unless the latter come to
terms with the leaders OF the New
York State Dairymen's League. In
effect 1t was vote of the dairymen to
go on strike beginning next Monday
morning unless the New York City
dealers recognize the league, Some
40 or 80 dairymen were present and
heard the situation explained to them
by Secretary Elmer Cowles in substance
as follows: The New York City dealers
have refused to deal further with the
officers of the Dairymen's League,
declaring that they will deal independ.
emily with the farmers This is taken
as determined effort on the part of
the leaders to disrupt the League, and
the meeting held here last night was
one of a series of rallies which ar be-
ing held in this section and in New
York state to get the members of the
League to stand together.
The new County Agent, |. N, Bart
lett, explained some of the items in the
cost of milk, drawing a general con-
clusion that the farmers were scarcely
making any profit at all under present
conditions. 1t was understood that the
New York dealers were willing to agree
to the prices which the League had de-
termined upon for milk, but they would
not treat with the League officers, and
their present willingness to pay League
prices was regarded as a subterfuge to
get the farmers to break away from
the League.
The Middlebury dairymen voted un-
animously to support the League and
unless word is received from the League
headquarters before next Monday
morning the regular shipments of milk
from this section will be held by the
farmers and turned into butter,

MISS FULLER HOME DtMONSTRATOR
Will Probably Begin Work at Once
in Addison County

Miss Emma Fuller of Bloomfield, VT,
recent graduate from the Home Ec-
onomic department of the University
of Vermont has been appointed as Home
Demonstration Agent for Addison
County.
The conditions necessary for the
maintaining of such an agents that the
county raise $500 locally to supplement
the funds furnished by the Federal De-
partment of Agriculture, which will be
necessary in financing the work. AS a
result of the compaign recently run by
the Addison County Farmers Associa-
tion, covering eight different towns in
the county, one hundred twenty-five
women applied for membership in the
County Farmers Association providing
Home Demonstration Agent was OBJ
tained. Membership in the association
costs 81 per year and thus Sl25 is as
sured. The state leader Of county
agents, Mr.. Thomas Bradlee, who has
charge of this work for the present,
feels that after an agent has been placed
in the county that enough women will
be ready to support the work and be
come members of the Farmers Associa-
tion and that the $500 will be forth
coming.
1t is probable that Miss Fuller will
begin work at once. Anyone interested
in obtaining information from the Home
Demonstration Agent should address
her in charge of the County Agent
Office, Mddlebury, Vermont.

PRESIDENT THOMAS
OPENING ADDRESS
The Work Of A Liberal College
in War Time
Full Text Of Patriotic Appeal to
This Years Students

President John M, Thomas in hi:
opening address of the ll8th year at
Middlebury College dealt with "The
Work Of Liberal College in War
Time" and vigorously set forth the re-
lation Of the student to the great war,
He said
In opening this llsth year Of Middle
bury college we might ignore the stu
alton of our country, hurrying its encr'
gies into the great war, and counsel
how we might shut out from our minds
during the coming months the distrac'
tions of public events and concentrate
our attention on academic pursuits, !
might urge you to forget as far as
possible submarines and aerOplanes,
and trenches and dugouts, and advise
that since you are now in college, en-
listed for study, you drop all thought
of any personal relation to the great
conflict or of any other topic connected
with war.
But even If il were possible to di.
vorce our thought from the stupendou9
events now occurring and from the
awakened passion of our nation to bear
its part in the renovation of the world,
it would not be patriotic for us to do
so. AS teachers and students we are
still citizens, and even at the cost of
considerable diversion from the educa.
tional cndcavors which are our primary
purpose, we must follow the course OF
the struggle, informing ourselves as
best we may Of the deeds of the armies
and the fleets, and still more carefully
seeking to work our way through to the
real issues of the conflict and the prin.
ciples which are being fought out for
the world to live by after the great
horror has passed, College men and
women should allow none to excel them
in patriotism, nor in patriotic interests
in the problems and endeavors of their
country.
But it would not be in the interest
even of your education to attempt TO
forbid you all thought of the war and
its issues while pursuing your studies
To ask you to forget the war would not
be sound educational method Educa-
tion has for its object to make one at
home in the world to enable one to
take his place as a man in the world
of men. This war is changing the
whole face of things; the life Of man is
going to be different in thousand
ways after it is over. An education,
therefore, which is sound and practical
must ft one for life in the renovated
world, and that means that the process
by which it is becoming new, the prin.
ciples and ideals which are being
thrown into the discard and the new
ones which are taking their places
must be taken into thoughtful consider,
alton. You are expected in about
twenty years to catch up with a very
old world and a world which has been
moving the last three years at a pace
