Mrs N. L. l.. Austin on Saturday took
her oath of office as deputy State proba-
ton officer. Mrs. Austin has been police
matron in Burlington for the past year
and half and her activities in that
direction have attracted the attention of
the State board of charities and proba-
ion, who appointed her to the new office.
AZ a result of her new powers. Mrs.
probationers. Formerly, when a proba-
toner was violating the conditions of
parole, the board of charities had to he
communicated with before anything could
be done to bring the probationer into line
but now action can be taken much
speedier. The board felt that Mrs. Austin,
who had already been Of great assistance
to them, could enlarge her activities much
more with this commission.
At late hour last night. only three
towns in the county had reported in the
membership drive of the Chittenden
County Farm Bureau, conducted through
out the county yesterday. one day only.
These towns were: Charlotte. canvass In
charge of f. B. Byington, reporting 81
members: South Burlington, canvass in
charge of II. F. Ti,ley. reporting % mem
bers: and Hinesburg, canvass in charge
of Z. G. Millham, reporting AZ members.
The weather seemed to be against the
farm bureau yesterday. and travelling
conditions in some parts of tho county
made 1t almost impossible for the workers
to complete the canvass during the day.
1t Is expected that the other towns of the
county will have their reports in to-day.
and 1t Is hoped that these reports may be
as good, as those already received.
The Boston Globe thinks that most Of
the free-for-ali racing will be in this
section of the country next season. 1t
substantiates this belief with the state
ment that William Crozier is to have
Direct C. Burnett. sold by George Whit
ney for 5000, and John Page is to have
the handling of Directum j., which sold
for the same amount to another New
England horseman. Both Page and
Crozier are well known horsemen in this
section. Efforts have been made to in
duee Crozier to race on the grand circuit,
but he has stood by New England. One
thing which could be done to help out
the racing in the section would be the
announcing of the plans for the different
tracks. If horsemen could know in ad-
vance something of what was to DC done
by the different arrangements they could
make their plans accordingly, with the
result that more horses could be secured.
The local naval recruiting station and
the marine station are to be moved from
Burlington. While the navy will keep
a branch office here. 1t is not thought
that there. will be any more marine re-
cruiting done here after TIE first of the
month. The main naval recruiting office,
which was established here in August,
1916. will be moved to Manchester, N. H.,
where 1t will be nearer Boston and New
port. Orders giving the exact date of
moving have not yet been received but
they are expected daily. Commander
Amsden has endeavored to obtain the con-
sent of higher officials to remain here
until spring, but this does not seem
probable at present. Since the estab-
lishment of the office here an average
of Ave or six men per week has been
kept during most of the time. Instead
of the large force on hand at present,
no more than one or two men will be
kept in the branch or suD-station.
A number of men have been enlisted
at the local recruiting station and are
awaiting shipment to Newport. They
are Hugh Aaron of 202 Pine street, ap-
prentice aviation mechanic; Walter c.
Martin of Knoxville. Tenn. apprentice
aviation mechanic; Richard A. Lemieux,
46 First street. apprentice seaman; John
MacGinley. West Rutland, fireman third
class; Louis A. Larock Brandon, fire.
man third class; Arol B. Bosley, Ticon-
deroga, n. Y, fireman, and Antoine f.
Duprey. First street apprentice sea-
man. \ number Of those who recently
enlisted have been assigned to stations
as follows: Clayton c. Bonneville Of Fair
Haven, naval hospital at Newport; Harold
T.. Brand of Charlotte, training station
at Newport; Raymond f. Clifford of
Remington to the U. S. S. Camden
Royal II. Murray Of Rutland to Hamp-
ton Roads; Allen w. LivermOre of i6l
