Halter, in Brooklyn, N. Y, by the Rev.
Percival Huzet of the Congregational
Church. Mrs. Miller Is a daughter of

ant In the United States army supply

The census enumerators nave completed
their work in the various wards of the
city and j. c. Durick, the supervisor Of
census for the first district Of Vermont,
requests that any person whose name has
not been taken, because of absence from
the city or for any other cause, make
such fact known to the city clerk, and
an enumerator will be sent on the case.
1t is imperative that this matter be
attended to at once as the most COM
plete census possible Is the aim of the
government, and the aid of every one Is
needed.
! The coal jobbers in this city yesterday
received word of the shipment Of a con-
siderable supply of coal from the mines
and it now looks as though it was purely

will be afforded the towns which are in
bad condition throughout the State. 1t
is estimated that in all more than 100
cars have left the mines for the Burling-
ton jobbers alone. At last reports the
embargo was not lifted on the Boston
e. Maine so the towns on that road will
not be benefited, no matter how much
coal arrives in this section.
Mrs. David L. Smith of Burlington
has been engaged as director at the
Blue Triangle Hospitality House and
will assume her duties in the near flu
ture. She takes the place of Miss
Frances Seville. who held the position
only about two weeks, and who has
resigned to take a position as dietitian
in the navy. Mrs. Smith held the posi-
ton of director for the period from the
departure of Miss Barbara Hunt, the
former director, and the arrival of Miss
Seville. Mrs. Smith has given excellent
satisfaction in the position.
Among those mentioned prominently in
South Burlington as candidates for road
commissioners at the March election Is
Michael Tierncy, who a few years ago
purchased a farm in that town and in
tends to make it his permanent home.
Mr.. Tierney has had 10 years experience
in making roads, and for five years was
commissioner in Lincoln when that town
I put in some of the best roads In the
State. Especial interest is attached to the
selection of road commissioner In South
Burlington this year as the Roosevelt
highway is to be put through there and
the work should be done by a man who
knows how.
Stella Carey of Burlington has entered
in Chittenden county court through her
lawyer, l.. F.. Edgerton of Rochester. a
suit for a divorce from Ralph r. Carey
of Rochester. The libellant was formerly
Miss Stella Young of Rochester. She was
married to Carey November II, 1914. at
Lebanon, n. II. They lived as man and
| wife in Rochester and in Burlington until
September. 1916, when, it is said. the
libellant left the libelee and went to her
home because of refusal to support her
and her year-old child. She asks for a
divorce on the grounds of neglect and
refusal to support, and desires the care
and custody of the child.
The Elks and their friends turned out
to the number Of more than 200 Thursday
evening for the ball at Hotel Vermont.
The Elks know how to do things we'll
and the dance last night was such a sue
cess as to warrant it's being an annual
affair on Lincoln's birthday in tho future.
The dining room and the foyer of the hotel
We're both used for the ball and the colors
of the Elks, purple and white. were used
in the decorations of both places. The
! music was furnished by the Van Ness
orchestra, which was augmented, and a
supper was served during the evening.
The committee in charge consisted of
S. $. Richold, T.. J. NORM. F. z. Mitchell,
NJ. C. Dorm. Walter Holtham and Ray
Frye
The police have been notified OF the
theft of between $40 and $50 from the
students who live in the Phi Delta Theta
house. The work was evidently that of
sneak thieves. for whoever got the money
took it from the pockets of the clothes
of the occupants while they were sleep
ing. The doors of the fraternity house
nave been left unlocked at night and
there has been nothing to prevent an out
slider from going into the house. There
Is more or less moving about at night
and a person going through the halls
would cause no suspicion even If he had
been heard. The person who did the
work went into the rooms of six or seven
Students and took the money from those
who had it in their clothes. Watches
and jewelry were left untouched and only
| money was taken.
Edward ]. Lockwood, U. v. NJ. II, has
been appointed prohibition inspector in
Vermont, on recommendation Of J. F..
Kennedy, internal revenue collector. Mr..
Lockwood will take up his new duties
about the 18th of the month and will
make his headquarters in Burlington.
He Will not be on the raiding end of the
enforcement of the prohibitory law, but
will conine his endeavors to creating a
sentiment which will make for the en-
forcement. The raiding will be lone
mainly by men from the Boston office
as at present. Lockwood has been, since
his discharge from Camp Zachary Taylor
at the end of the war, in charge of the
history department in the Rutland high
school. He has handed in his resigna-
/ ton to the school authorities. After
graduation from the University of Ver-
mont, he studied law and was admitted
to the bar in 1917.
The blank for filing the income tax
returns for 1920 are now ready for distri-
button at the office Of the internal revenue
collector in the federal building and four
men have been detailed to give assist
ance to those who desire 1t. The entire
office force will be placed at the task II
necessary. for this is the busiest time
of year. All returns must be In before
March Is. and it will be a wise move to
get them in much before that time as a
big rush Is expected toward the last.
A year ago less than 900 returns were filed
