DEER KILLED BY DOGS
Buck, Chased and Bitten, Swims Four

CATION has been started by Deputy
Game Warden William G. Gadue 10
try and determine who owned the
dog or dogs that chased, bit and so
worried a big four-year-old buck deer
that it leaped into the lake near Ap-
oletreet Point some time Wednesday
forenoon, swan four miles south to
Crescent Beach and died of exhaus-
ton and fright several hundred feet
from shore. When Warden Gadue
arrived at the beach the body of the
deer was still warm from its exer-
tions to escape form the dogs and the
deer had not been dead more than an
hour or two.
An examination of the carcass of
the animal disclosed the fact that
the deer had been bitten in the face
just below one nostril and that the
bite was a bad one, the flesh being
torn considerably. The bit was not.
however, serious enough to cause
death, in the opinion of the game
warden. The carcass was buried
deep underground.
It has been known for a week or
two that owners of dogs, particularly
hounds, have been setting their dogs
on to deer that came into sight near
the farm property, whether the deer
did any damage to crops or not. This
is strictly against the Vermont fish
and game laws, and a serious penalty
will be given to any persons commit
ting such a crime If the deer are
damaging crops, etc, the law gives
the property owner the right to shoot
but if not doing damage then they
cannot be taken out of season or
harmed in anyway.

u. S. ASKED TO COOPERATE
Price Raising During Last Thirty Days
Has Become Alarming
to the British

London, Aug. 1.-Steps toward in
ternational collective purchasing of
foodstuffs to check profiteering and
speculation, which are declared TO be
rife in all countries, were taken at
today's meeting of the Supreme
Economic Council.
The return to the system in vogue
during the war was proposed by the
British, French, and Italian repre-
sentatives. This proposal was refer
red to committee which will co-ordi-
nate the plan and present it to the
American Government with an invita-
ton for its cooperation.
The members of the council stated
that they recognized that profiteering
and speculation had been going on
generally for some time, but the ac-
tivities toward unwarranted price
raising during the last thirty days
are considered alarming. This was
due, the members believed, to sharp
fall in the harvest prospects in the
las month. 1t was pointed out, how
ever, that, while the harvest pros
poets were less favorable now than
they were July /, there was no rea-
son TO believe that there was not suf-
flcient food to last through 1920, and
there was no reason for the undue ad
vance of prices.
All the members of the council
agreed that it was necessary for the
United States to cooperate in the
collective buying plan, because at
the present time the United States
was supplying such great quantities
of food to Europe that the collective
system without the United States
would virtually be pitting the buyer
against the seller.
AS the food restrictions in the Unit
ed States ended with the coming of
peace and the Food Administration
was demobilized it was pointed out
that Herbert Hoover representing
the United States, was not authorized
to bind the country to any agreement
and for that reason it was decided to
place the plan in the hands of the
committee.
The members OF the council
agreed, after hearing evidence OF
European conditions, that the ma
tions on this side could not and
would not, in the present social con-
ditions, be subjected to further in
creases in the prices of necessities.
1t was maintained by some members
that unless something was done the
allied nations would fine themselves
in position of being able to control
purchases of foodstuffs for Germany
through the Reparations Commits
sion, but unable to control the prices
they themselves must pay.
The members despaired Of reduc.
ing prices much below the level OBJ
tanning three months ago, but they
were determined that il possible they
would not permit prices to go higher
AS a sort of consolation to the
Americans 1t was shown that prices
in Europe, except where commodities
were subsidized by the Government
were higher than in the United
States.
Mr.. Hoover, speaking tonight at
dinner of the Supreme Economic
Council, warned his hearers against
apathy in the face of the economic
conditions now governing the world

EARLY POTATO CROP

Market-Retail at IS Cents a Peck
Because of the dry weather early
in the early potato crop in this vi
cinity is light and not so far ad-
vanced as it should be at this time
of the year. Only few homegrown
spuds have appeared in the market
and most of those offered for sale
are shipped here from Long Island
and other truck gardens further
south. The new crop is selling al So
cents a peck in the local markets.
Ordinarily homes grown potatoes
should have reached the digging
stage by August / and the price
should be not quite SO high.
George Hummer, the Old Benning-
ton market gardener, has small
patch of new potatoes from which he
is digging and partially supplying
the dealers in the village. II the ma
jority of instances, however, the ear
ly potatoes have not developed as in
former years. The recent rains
should ensure good crop of late
potatoes.

HOME GUARDS IN GERMANY
They Were Intended to Be Great

Coblenz, July 30.--The plan of Gus

military affairs, to retain home
guards throughout Germany by trans
ferring them to civil authorities and
calling them local police reserves"
is going into effect. according to in
formation reaching the american
army of occupation. German news
papers carry advertisements saying
that recruits for the home guards
are no longer required to take the
oath to defend the country against
invasion,
An American army bulletin says
this is the first confession that such
a pledge had been taken by the home
guards. 1t confirms the suspicion
that the Home Guards were intended
to be great reserve army and iusti-
fies the former suspicion of the Home
Guards under their new guise Of
