Borden's Plants in state Not to Dis

The management of the Bordens
condensed Milk company of New York
has agreed to pay the farmers who
turn their milk into the companys
condensaries at Hinesburg and at Rich
mond, the latter being the main plant,
the same prices that the farmers of
the New York Dairymens League are

by the League and several conferences
with League officials and officials of

THE YOUNGEST MAJOR
Honor Apparently Belongs to F.. w
Hackett, u. v. NJ. 1917

Honor Apparently Belongs to F.. w.
Hackett. u. v. NJ. 1917
1t is probable that to the University
OF Vermont belongs the honor OF having
among Its graduates the youngest major
In the United States army. Major Fred
w. -Hackett of the class of 1917 is not
yet % years old and that fact occasioned
the following letter to the editor of the
New York Times in its issue Of last
Sunday:
Early in December, several, perhaps
ALL OF the newspapers contained accounts
Of the entry of the American forces into
Coblenz. l quote from one of them:
"A osy-cheeked. clean shaver New
York boy. major of the regular army,
led his battalion through the ancient
streets Of the fortress city of Coblenz
this afternoon. -" He was Major
Fred w. Hackett Of Champaign. n. Y,
and his battalion. which has the honor
of being the first to reach Germany's
noted river, was unit of the 39th
Infantry Regiment
In view of the fact that much has
been said of the youth of some of our
officers. and that 1t has been noted in
your columns that a major of % years
probably Is the Youngest in the service,
1t may be of interest to some Of your
readers to know that Major Hackett will
not be % years old until June. Having
led his class throughout the course, he
was graduated from the University of
Vermont in 1917 into the regular army
as a second lieutenant. He took the
training at the officers school at Platts-
burgh and was at once commissioned a
first lieutenant. Last summer he was
promoted TO captaincy and in October
or early November he received his COM
misAion as major. I wonder If he is the
youngest major in the American army"

RAILROADS SUED
Claim Made that They Violated Law
Governing Shipment Of Live Stock

United States District Attorney " A.
Billiard has filed two important cases in
the United States court in suits against
the Canadian Pacific Railway company
for 500 and the Boston & Maine for
$4,000. The suits are filed for the purpose
of compelling the payment of the
penalty.
The railroads, according to the charges,
violated the law enacted by Congress.
which does not allow animals in transit
to be confined for period of more than
90 hours. AT the end of this time they
should he given five hours rest In pens
and take out for exercises and given
water and food. According to the COM
plants animals in some cases were hello
more than 40 hours and were taken out
dead. The livestock was shipped from
Canadian points and was not taken out
of the cars until ii reached Newport.
The penalty in such a case may be as
high as $500 or less. There is only one
case against the Canadian Pacific while
there are eight against the Boston d
Maine. This explains the difference in
the size Of the suits. j. II. Hustis. re-
ceiver of the Boston e Maine and who
lives in Boston, is made a party to the
suits against that road.
