PRESIDENT THOMAS
IS WELCOMED BACK

After almost exactly six months SER
vice with the United States Army,
President John NJ Thomas of Middle
bury College gave the students on the
hill a pleasant surprise last Saturday
evening by his reappearance, with his
honorable discharge in his pocket ant
with announcement that he was back
to stay. He himself had not antici-
pated as early release, but had, as he
admitted, been longing to get back to
his real work at Middlebury.
With his family he will continue to
live for time at least in the Presi-
dents suite on the top floor of Hep
burn Hall, and here on Sunday he was
greeted by numerous friends among the
faculty and student body. He has en-
tirely recovered from the attack of ton
silitis which he suffered during his last
visit to Middlebury in February and
is again restored to his former health
although appearing perhaps little

less robust His return to his execu-
tive work will be gradual and with the
continued assistance of Acting Presi-
dent Edward D. Collins, but he has
already resumed his former office
hours from 1920 to II daily and from
an address which he delivered to the
students at Meal Chapel on Monday
night it appeared that he was going
to take off his coat and get to work
in the same vigorous manner that he
had been directing the affairs of the
College before he left.
The story of his six months service
he related in an intimate way to the
students at the Chapel meeting on
Monday night. 1t had been his privi-
lege he estimated, to have seen fully
80 per cent of all the American sold
ierS who had thus far returned from
Europe. In almost never-e ending streams
they had passed his desk at Merritt
Hall, the enlisted mems club and social
center of Camp Merritt, N J., which is
the largest of the Decentralization camps
in the country The camp is situated
about a dozen miles from New York
nearly opposite the city of Yonkers,
and few miles back from the Palli-
sades. 1t was an ideal camp location
and had been beautified in the past
few months,
DR.. Thomas admitted his keen regret
at not having gone directly overseas
after his enlistment in October, but
even he had no thought that the war
in Europe would so soon come to an
end and he had been anxious to OBJ
tain the special training that was prom
ised at the chaplains' school at Camp
Zachary Taylor, Louisville, KY. He
spent five weeks there, and as one of
the senior chaplains he was one of the
first to be ordered overseas on the IT,
S. s. Olympic on November 10th, only
to have the order countermanded on the
eve of his departure as it had been de-
cided to send no more chaplains over
to France. DR. Thomas had his pass
port, photograph and fiHger prints tax
en-, his farewells given, and his inter-
est aroused keenly over the impendir
trip, and he expressed his keen disap-
pointment in not having gone In his
assignment as senior chaplain at Camp

OF war relics, which was to have visited
Middlebury during the raising of the
Fighting Fourth Liberty Loan last
fall, but which was cancelled on ac-
count of the influenza epidemic. will
come here some time the latter part of
this month in connection with the cam.
paign for the Fifth Loan. A la
number of interesting relics from the
battles in France have now been re-
ceived in this country, and the exhibit
train will be even better than the one
arranged for last fall, it is said. The
exact date of the arrival of the train
will later be announced, but County
Chairman John A. Fletcher has, as
surance that it will stop both in Mid
dlebury and Vergennes.

SPECIAL VILLAGE
MEETING CALLED

The village trustees at their regular
bi-weekIy meeting on Tuesday evening
again brought up the subject of oiling
the village streets the coming summer,
and after discussion as to what was
the sentiment of the voters, they de-
cided to call a special village meeting
on Tuesday evening, April 22 in order
to learn the wishes of the village. Some
of the downtown merchants have pro-
tested against the offensiveness of the
oil, and it was suggested that in this
section the water sprinkler be used,
while in the outlying streets the oil
could be employed. Last year, owing to
the war, oil could not be obtained and
complaints were rife about the intolera-
bly, dusty condition of the streets
Substitution of the sprinkler over a
limited area offered but little temper
ary relief This year oil is only a
little more expensive than it was two
years ago, and this is largely Offset by
the fact that the state allowance for
this work is this year increased to 5000
The village trustees further discussed
the condition of the village stone
crusher and decided that it would have
to be put in repair if the village ex-
pected to make improvements to its
walks and roads. 1t was estimated
that the cost of repairs would be in the
vicinity of $500. The stone crusher
was formerly used to advantage in
crushing stone at quarry about a
half mile east of Middlebury village,
but it has been out of commission for
some time

being intimate with the famous Con
cord group, including Ralph Waldo
Emerson and Nathaniel Hawthorne,

will deliver two addresses to which the
public will be welcomed. Mr.. Wood

time of his acquaintance with Emerson,
and had the rare privilege of many
walks and talks with the great philoso-
pher. In later years he has spoken
throughout the country in reminiscence
and Interpretation of Emerson, and by
writing books of him as qualified as
Emerson's Boswell Mr. Woodbury. is
naturally well along in years. but is
said to be still an entertaining speake

the Concord group He will speak at
Mead Chapel on Friday night, week

Saturday evening.

A CASE
of "E Pluribus Unum"
Reversed.

The League of Nations is as moth
ing compared to the problem which
is perplexing Express Agent Mat
thew G. Graham concerning the case
of the Harris pigs. Last week Chas.
E. Harris of Middlebury ordered
sow from a farmer in Suncook,
N. H., and the animal was duly
shipped in a crate which was laid
off over train or two at Bellows
Falls The large pig attracted con-
siderable attention at the Bellows
Falls express office, and some of the
force there who were cognizant of
the circumstances endeavored to ex-
pedite the shipment by sending the
pig to Middlebury on the sleeper.
Shortly before theNarrival of that
train, howveer, it was discovered
there was more or less confusion in
the crate, and upon examining the
situation it was found that the ami
NAL was not alone, as it had been
when previously inspected, but SUR
rounded by nine little piglets. The
rosy appearance of the little travel
ers and their antics demonstrated
clearly their good health and con-
dition and their appreciation of the
efforts made by the Bellows Falls
express force for their welfare. Ow-
ing to conditions, the shipment was
held over still another train, when it
was sent along with brief note to
the consignee, Mr. Harris, at Middle
bury explaining why what he order
ed was not what he got. Mr.. Graham
meanwhile is working on the prob
lem of just how to charge on the
shipment

DATRYMEN WILL GET
MORE FOR THEIR MILK

The Dairymen's League has reached
an agreement with the New York City
dealers whereby the milk produced by
its members is sold for at least eight
months. The price for April for three
per cent milk for this section is S273
The League has been able to secure the
extension of the base zone at which
the price is established, from $50 miles
to 250 miles from New York This
will mean 4 cents more per hundred to
every dairyman, not only for April but
for several months to come,

The League of Nations is RIGHT!
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1919-04-11

The dealers agreed to make no fur
ther freight deductions on League milk
beyond 400 miles from New York
The new plan by which prices are
to be established is accepted by both
parties for six months, after which
either party may withdraw by giving
two months notice. This plan takes
both market conditions and the costs
of production into consideration The
prices for each month are to be deter
mined by averaging the highest market
value of cheese and whey, and adding to
this average price, certain arbitrary
differentials to allow for the cost of
producing market milk in the New
York territory.
