Collect On Old Claim

Dairymen of Addison and Rutland
counties to the number of about 80
were present at hearing in Rutland
Wednesday before Special Master John
c. Sherburne of Randolph for the pur-
pose of proving their claim against the
bankrupt Boston Condensed Milk Com
pany. The hearing was in connection
with a suit brought by the state to

of $4,000 each furnished to idemnify
the milk producers against loss Attor-
ney Allen r. Sturtevant of Middlebury
represented the interests of a number Of
Addison County farmers,
The claims of the dairymen are for
milk furnished the Boston Condensed
Milk Company in 1914, There was
some discussion, and many questions
asked the farmers, whether it was the
Boston Dairy Milk Company or the
Boston Condensed Milk Company that
had their milk 1t is understood that
several of the same men were associated
with both concerns at that time.
1t is understood that the total of the
claims, which come from farmers in all
parts of the State, will be nearly $4,000
The State asked all of the witnesses if
the reason they extended credit to this
company was because they knew bonds
had been filed with the Secretary of
State, and the answer in most cases was
in the affirmative.
1t it understood that the casualty
company claims the license of the Bos-
ton Condensed Milk Company was re-
voked on February 81, 1914, and that
the bonding company is not liable after
that time,

SHE RIFFS FEED BILL FUND WILL NOT
 BE ENTIRELY USED
For First Time in Memory of Citizens State Appropria-
 tion Will Be Sufficient

Montgomery, June S.-(Special)-Fo the first time in so long the memory of man runneth' not to the contrary, Ala bama's appropriation for sheriffs feed bills in county jails will not be cx- hausted during the fiscal year to end September 90. Instead, about $so,O0O of the appropriation of SlS0,0GO will remain m the treasury all because of combination of circumstances.
 During the fiscal year of 1915-16 sher- ifs feed bills ran to about s1S0,oO0 and because The legislature had appropriated only S1So009 without tying strings which are held by the governor, the sheriffs were forced to hold feed bills totaliag SooO0e for presentation to the legisia- ture in 1912. There is an additional ap- propriation of $5O.O0O. but Governor Hen derson declined to release it because of the bad condition of the treasury.
 For the fiscal year of 1sl6-l7 the feel bills ran to $140,OOO or $10,0oo over the ap- propriation. and the sheriffs also were forced to carry $tO,00o.
 With eight of the F months of this fiscal year gone, sheriffs' feed bills have M 04l4S lO 9foIVVu, ana J. II. Snapnd.l, warrant clerk of the auditors depart ment, estimates that the total bills Tor the year vii! not be more than sl00,000.
 several circumstances have combined to help the state financially in the feed- Ing of prisoners. Every person Tn the state can obtain a position and fewer petty crimes are being committed. When person commits petty crime someone makes his bond in order to use his services. Skeriffs are not making arrests for petty offenses except on warrant, because of the high cost of foodstuffs. They are unable to make any money On feeding prisoners now. Prohibition is given some credit for the reduction. A notable fact is that few person are being kept in the county jails for any length of time. IL is not unusual to find sheriff's feed bill which has been cut 1000 per cent during the past two years.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, June 13--Todays market was steady at a fair advance from yes- terday, the closing being at the best of the day. Some apprehension was ex- pressed at the high temperatures in the southwest, but we do not think that the temperatures are other than normal at this season of the year. There was an absence of selling pressure all day in the market. which led to covering by some of the local traders, and who sold early on the excellent weather map.
 There was also some moderate buying for the trade. but in no large volume and in fact the principal feature of the market was the small volume of trading. The feeling at the close tonight was that the market might be somewhat higher. more on the lack of any aggres- sive selling than on any real change in the outlook. Crop accounts continue very favorable and the prospects for the mo- ment are certainly most promising. g.-Hub- bard Bros. & Co.

COMPULSORY WORK
 MOVEMENT IS GIVEN
 WILSON'S APPROVAL
Nationwide Effort Will Be Made to Put End to Idle
 ness During War

Washington, June 13.-President WI- son has approved nation-wide coci- rulsory work movement to supplement Provost Marshal General Crowder's $ work or fight regulations. In a let ter to Governor Harrington of Mary lard, made public here tonight, tue President indorsed adoption by other states of the Maryland compulsory wo:k law, under which the work or fight principle is made applicable to all men hetween the ages of IS and 50.
 General Crowder also has approved the movement and believes that it not on.y will give greater effect in his reguia tions, but will further aid the country in it's task of winning the war by reaching men below and above the draft ages. Without some such law as proposed, either state or national, it was pointed ohi, men Of draft age who cannot pass the physical requirements for active or iiinted military service cannot be made to engage in necessary occupations.
 The suggestion for adopting the Mary land law as a model in supplementipS the selective service regulations was made by the national committee rn lrisons and prison labor after careful study oi, six months enforcement of the Maryland statute. The war prison labor and national waste reclamation section of the war industries board has ap- proved the programme and makes this commen! n formal report on the suo- jeet:
 Tt IS found that the law, which con tains provisions safeguarding the honest worker, has made it possible to put 10 work thousands of idlers, rich and poor. Those incatcerated under the law and sent to the Maryland house of correc- tion are to be put to work upon the farms adjacent to Camp Meade to produce supplies needed for the army. The enforcement of these vagrant and stacker laws will supplement the draft provisions of the army and develop a situation throughout the country where no man car escape the draft provision and remain a slacker."
 Four other states, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and South Dakota have enacted laws similar to that enforcet in Maryland since last August.
