SUIT IN CHANCERY.
Grows Out of Financial Troubles Of w.
Shelton Swallow Company.

A suit in chancery has been entered
in Chittenden county court to be heard
at the March term, by the G. 8. Blodgett
company Of Burlington against M. A.
Bundy, cement contractor, also of Bur-
lington. the suit growing out of the
financial troubles of the w. Shelton
Swallow Construction company of New
York, which undertook to build the Union
station in Burlington and failed, their
bonding company completing the contract.
Max L. Powell master in chancery, will
appear for the Blodgett company
The suit sets out that the plaintiff
was the largest creditor of the W. Shell
ton Swallow company, a New York cor
poration which secured the contract to
build the Union station at Burlington
for the Central Vermont railway and
the Rutland railroad, and that this com
pany had not sufficient funds to complete
the CONSTITUTIONAL work and the bonding
company. the London and Lancashire
company. took over the contract and the
Central Vermont and Rutland railroads
assigned all moneys due the Swallow
company to the bonding company.
The plaintiff was instrumental in secur
ing an agreement from the bonding com.
pany by which all moneys due creditors
Of the Swallow company should be turned

among the station creditors of the Swal
low company, the bonding company ant
the railroad companies that the station
should be completed and whatever money.
were left over and above the amount
necessary to complete the station SHOULD
be kept as fund and distributed prt
rata among the creditors who furnished
labor and materials for construction.
Defendant Bundy also was a creditor
OF the Swallow company in the station
job and made an attachment against tn,
Rutland railroad and the Central Yer
mont railway. The attachment had no
been heard at the time the agreemen
as to the distribution Of the funds ha,
i been made. Treasurer Patrick of tn
Blodgett company explained the situation
to Bundy and Bundy is said to hav
agreed not to press the suits. Fou
months later the suit was heard ana
settlement made. The Blodgett compan
now wishes to prevent Bundy from re
ceiving his full share. while other creditor
have only part shares.

To give best results, however, dried
dressed potatoes must be fed in combina-
tion with feeds rich in protein, such "a
oil meal, fish meal and tankage.
The investigators also advise mixing
or soaking such feed with water for Is
minutes before its use.
An experiment, in which were used u
hirh-grade pigs between five and six
months of age, was conducted to deter.
mine, first, the value OF dried pressed
potato in a ration for fattening hogs
and supplemented by feeds rich in pro-
tein, and, second. the effect Of dried
pressed potato on the quality Of meat
produced.
The pigs were divided into four lots Of
three each. The first lot. for checking
purposes, was fed a ration Of six parts
corn meal and one part tankage. The
other three lots were fed rations Of six
parts dried pressed potato. the second lot
supplemented by one part Of tankage, the
third lot by one part OF linseed oil meal
(oid process), and the fourth by one
part Of fish meal. The pigs in all the
lots ate we'll and regularly, and the in
vestigators drew the conclusion that the
dried pressed potato rations were palat-
able and produced pork readily.
In carcass tests after the fattening
experiment the investigators found ION
the whole 1t is impossible to say that
dried pressed potato meal does not pro-
duce fat equal for all purposes to that
produced by corn meal. While we were
able to note some little difference in
hardness in favor of the lot fed on corn
meal, that difference was 80 small as
not to be noticed under average packing

meal does not produce soft pork"
Regarding the quality Of the meat in
the case Of the bacon strips, little differ.
ence can be detected. Here It is indi.
Gated that the corn fed hog is much the
latest.
In the rendered lard, the Investigator
found no noticeable variation In taste
odor, color. or consistency. The carcass
data are thus summarized:
Dried, pressed potato meal fed with
any Of the three supplements used in the
experimental feeding produced pork equa
in quality to that produced by a ration
Of corn meal and tankage.
"Dried, pressed potato meal supple
mented with old process linseed oil mea
produced a carcass which for degree o,
finish excelled even that Of the corn mea
hog, and the degree Of finish on the othe,
two lots was but little inferior to tina,

A. D., and was very large. Much Of 1t Is
now in ruins but not all. Roy Sawyer
| and have enjoyed exploring 1t and read
| ing a little of its history. The village
church was built in 1910 and has most
beautiful chimes.
| 1 had an unusual experience Sunday
morning, when we gave up our service
because of an invitation from the priest
to attend the Catholic Church. The Amer
lean band played some of our hymns, q
soldier sang two solos, the priest gave a
short talk in English, and when Holy
Communion was ready we were all in
vlted. 1t was the first communion l
have had in France. and I was glad OF
the opportunity. That is an example OF
the way people are treating us in France.
The soldiers are mighty serious I'M
derneath, and, as have never seen them
before, ready to talk about religion, death
and the future. Our nightly service is
packed, and great numbers are carrying
and reading the Bible. We give away
so many that we are constantly out of
| them, and my Camp Abnaki Bible is much
used.
We had busy and so a happy Christ
mas. In the nine association buildings in
this area, we had Christmas parties for
the soldiers, with programs Of carols. adj
dresses. stunts. Christmas trees. and pre-
sents for every soldier and for the French
children Of the villages. It was a day sc
busy I shall never forget it. although
had a few short times Of inconsistencies
during it,
1 have made pretty good progress ir
French, and can get around fairly well
although my conversations are very linn.
tied.
We are having real winter here now
but 1t is so much like Vermont that en-
Joy 1t very much, although cold much OF
the time, and constantly in need of 9
bath. But here bathtub is almost un.
heard of. So far we have had enough to
eat. but much of the time there has beer
little variety.
I like the French people more and more
as I get to know them. They are a bun
die of contradictions, many things to like
and some to dislike and condone Blu
they are making a heroic fight and arr
giving all they have to save their coun
try. I think America must be awaken
ing, but she needed n great lesson, I be
lieve, to bring her to herself.
