CHRISTMAS SEALS.

One thousand dollars worth of
Christmas Seals for grccnbricr coun
~ have been received and arc now
on sale. SiXty-fvc per cent Of The
proceeds resulting from these sales
can be used exclusively in This
county. This can be used where il
is most needed and for many diff
fcrcnt causes. DR.. Harriet b. Jones
Field Secretary. visited the John \.
Preston Community House lasl
spring and was very much interest
ed in our plans for the children of
Grcenbrier County. She suggested
that the proceeds from last years
sales be used on the Sleeping Pavil-
lion. The building Of this Pavilion
IS progressing nicely. You must un-
derstand, that The patients on This
Pavilion will not be persons with
tuberculosis, but children who from
under nourisbment and lack Of
fresh air arc in condition TO dc
velop tuberculosis. II is Miss Mel
iichamp's plan to keep these chill
drcn from six 10 eight weeks for
treatment, or longer. If necessary,
SO that when they are improved
and returned home the lesson of
proper living may be taught thru
them. The result, we hope. will
be far reaching and educational.
The President of The Grecnbricr
County Woman's Association wish
oS to call all members attention to
The fact that The Association has
taken The Christmas Seals to sell.
She asks that each member will put
forth her best effort TO make this
Sale 4 success. When Seals are
sent TO you to dispose of them re-
pond promptly to the call. If you
need more Seals CALL for them and
YOU will be supplied at once.

GOVERNOR GRAHAM
TAKES THE STAND

81 never intended to defraud the
state of Vermont out of one penny"
was the answer made by eX-Gov. Hor-
ace F. Graham of Craftsbury in Coun-
ty court today in answer to a ques-
ton put in direct examination by one
of his attorneys, there being many sim
liar declarations made by the former
state official, who is on trial charged
with the larceny of state funds to the
extent of $4,000
"The books were always open to in
spection and they never contained an
entry made by me or directed by me
which was not true" continued Gov.
Graham, "The files themselves showed
all the money paid out and the dis
bursement book always showed cor.
rect account of the money received
and the money vouchered out"
Gov. Graham was the third witnes
in the line of defence being made by
him to meet the serious charges as
presented by the grand jury of Novem-
Der, 1918 and at the close of an hour
and half of explanation of his cOnten-
ton, a recess was taken until this
morning at o'clock, the defense ask
ing for time in which to inspect GER
tain books and papers before com
pleting the direct examination of the
respondent
Gov Graham fatty denied having
told State Auditor Ben Gates that he
had taken money from the state funds
to prevent Senator Page from forcing
him into bankruptcy. An attempt was
made by the defense to show the state
ment by Witness Gates was false by
showing that Gov. Graham had ample
securities with which to repay the
state above all notes held by Senator
Page or his bank.

MRS. ILSLEY DIED AT
HOTEL LAST EVENING

Mrs. S. A. Ilsley, widow of the late
Col S. A. Ilsley died at her rooms in
the Addison House last evening at
about ten o'clock Mrs. Ilsley was a
woman of advanced years and had
been ill for some weeks with kidney
trouble and the end was not un-
expected. Her niece, Miss Gertrude
Ilsley and DR.. Padelford of Boston, a
prominent Baptist clergyman also a
relative. were with her at the time of
her death
The funeral will be held at $3.50
o'clock Sunday afternoon at the Memo
rial Baptist church.
Mrs. Ilsley's maiden name was Mary
E. Osborne, and her early home in
Brooklyn, N. Y. A. B. Cruikshank
who was Col. Ilsley's attorney in New
York and who has been a lifelong
friend of the family, recalled to The
Register at the time of Col. Ilsley's
death, his "reminiscences of her marriage
to Col. Ilsley. The Colonel who had
enlisted in the Union Army within
three days after the firing on Fort
Sumter, was in Brooklyn on his first
furlough from his army camp at New
burg, ~ c., when he took Miss Os-
borne as his bride She was a belle OF
striking character and considerable aC-
complishments, The Colonel, who had
been steered toward a ministerial ca
reer, shortly after the war turned to
industrial life, and as is well known
made a fortune in the manufacture oi
tin cans in Brooklyn, finally selling his
large factory to the American Can
| Company.
Years later, Mr.. and Mrs. Ilsley in
search for the most desirable home
were led to decide upon Middlebury
attracted as they were by the excel
lent hotel by their friendship for the
late John Higgins, by the good sleigh
ing, by the mountain scenery, and es.
pecially by the good drinking water.
Although Mrs. Ilsley lived a com
paratively retired life with the excep.
ton of her interested activity in the
Memorial Baptist church, which beau
tiful edifice was her husbands gift, she
was deeply concerned with the welfare
of Middlebury village and gave notable
testimony of this when she gave S25,00C
to add to a similar sum to which Col
Ilsley had bequeathed for a Memorial
Library.
Mrs. Ilsley has quietly performed
many acts of charity and shared hel
late husbands plans of public benevo
lence. By his will she was left the
bulk of his large estate, and with a
fortune of probably several thousands
of dollars, she was unquestionably the
wealthiest woman in her own right il
Addison County.
Mrs. Ilsley has no living children
although two sons were born to hel
and died in their early manhood. Hel
nearest relation is her niece, Miss Ger
trude Ilsley.

COLLEGE TRUSTEES
MEET IN NEW YORK

In the Directors room of the Chase
National Bank, New York, last Fri
day afternoon the Trustees of Middle
bury College held their semi-annual
meeting 1t was largely attended and
Professors Wright, Sanford, and Collins
were guests of the Corporation and
participated in the discussions.
The Treasurer's report showed that
the endowment has passed the 81 100000
mark. The latest addition is $4,000
from the estate of Mrs. Margaret
Olivia Sage, which was added to the
general endowment funds. The annual
income for the year ending May 81 is
estimated at Sl47000, a considerable in
crease over any previous year.
An advance was made in the salary
scale and the salaries of several mem
bers of the instructing staff were ad-
vanced to the new rate, to date from
January |, 1920
The Trustees made arrangements for
a still better course of entertainments
next year and increased the appropri-
alton for this purpose by $500.
A resolution of appreciation of the
services of Professor Wright was Of
fered by Mr. Hepburn and unanimously
adopted. On motion of DR.. Starr,
Professor Wright was made Professor
Emeritus of English Literature
The Board voted that the Walker
bequest be interpreted as providing
that all of the income be used to pay
salaries of Professors on leave, none
being reserved for the salaries of sub
stitutes.
The Trustees directed that after the
present year in the temporary absence
of the President the college be in
charge of the Provost.
Resolutions on the death of Ex-
Governor Mead and Professor Brainerd
Kellogg were adopted.
