Municipal Court Hears Case in Monk
ton
Judge Albert W. Dickens held a SEES
sion of Addison County Municipal court
at Bristol Saturday, to hear the case of
John Dixie of Starksboro against the
town of Monkton, for damages resu ting
from loss of cattle due to attacks by a
dog
Mr.. Dixie owns a farm in Monkton
town and hires a man to run it for him.
One day in winter the wife of the man
who runs the farm heard commotion in
the barnyard, and going to investigate
found strange dog worrying the cows
She got gun and frightened the dog
off, but not until one COW was dead and
another so badly hurt that it had to be
killed. The dog was recognized as be-
longing to man named Clark.
Mr.. Dixie brought suit against the
town of Monkton, alleging that the
selecmen had been notified, but had
done nothing in the matter. The case
was heard by a jury, which brought in
a verdict of $142 80 and costs. Ira H.
LaFleur appeared for Mr.. Dixie and j.
j. Enright of Burlington for the town
of Monkton.

The meeting of the Holsteir breeders
in the Grange Hall Tuesday afternoon
was well attended. The purpose, as
outlined by President ID. d. Aitken of
the national association, of organizing
for cooperative buying and selling in
order to reach the markets of the
South as readily as do the we'll organ
lied states of the middle west, was
quickly taken up by the local breed
ors of the "black and white" The
Holsteins are credited with furnishing
so per cent of the market milk used
in the country. This percentage is in
creasing as fast as the farmers learn
the difference between the profits of
a graded and registered COW and the
increasing financial risk of keeping the
scrub kind
The speakers advised the formation
of local organizations with a paid sec
rotary through whom the members will
Go all their marketing of stock In
this way the responsibility is central
lied, as is also expert knowledge of the
market put within easy access. The
farmers in the West have organized
so well that they are able to sell their
stock in the East without further
trouble than recourse to their secre-
tary whose business it is to keep
abreast of all things to their interest
In this way cattle dealing has been
freed from uncertainty. Minnesota
for intance, has one half the purebreds
of New England, yet through their
secretary the breeders have brought
their stock to the forefront and have
created a real demand for t. This
way of marketing has increased the
breeders profits from 40 to 30 per cent
President Atken said that New Eng
lond animals are as good as any in the
country but will not bring their full
value in the market until better advrr-
tised A COW selling for $50 here would
bring $500 in Ohio. The average scrub
COW producing 1000 pounds CT milk
annually is not profitable when for
the same feed expense a graded COW
would produce double the milk or the
purebred three times that quantity.
+. L. Houghton, secretary of the ma
tional association for 26 years, told of
the registration of one and half mil
lion animals in the organizations
books. The annual entries aggregate
more than a hundred thousand.
There is no sentiment in farming,
was the gist of the speakers remarks.
The farmer who sticks to old time
methods will find his more progressive
neghbor far and away ahead of him.
Old methods will keep their user i'll
the rut One of the biggest advances
of modern farming is the breeding OF
the registered dairy cow milk ma
chine that will give triple the results
for the same expense. A cow is ma
chine i'll modern farm practice and
must be operated at a profit to be
retained Organization will directly
increase that profit

LOW FUR MARKET
DETERS TRAPPERS
School Boys Will Not Realize Last
Years Riches

Years Riches
One line of endeavor, says the Rec
ord, which will suffer as kGenly as any
this year because of the downward
trend of prices, is the hunting and trap
ping industry, which grew to unheard
of proportion in Vermont last year and
allowed rich harvest for the men and
boys who knew the ways of the woods.
Last year furs in the fall sold for
prices, in most cases, three times their
former figure, and in the case of musk
rats the figure received was often 20
times the price paid in former years.
The woods and marshes hold out no
such promises this year and it is doubt
full if many hunters are successful in
getting much of an income. Last year
many school boys in some weeks made
as high as $25 in trapping skunks and
muskrats, The prices have not yet
been made up for this year, but there
is no doubt that the figure will be far
below that of last year and it is doubt
full if it will compare favorably with
those of many years in the past. The
bottom has dropped out of the raw fur
market and the effect of the depression
in London, St. Louis and other fur
trading centers will be felt in the back
woods of Vermont.
There was a grave danger of the ex.
tinction of some of the game wher
prices were high. The slaughter or
muskrats, in particular, was enormous.
1t is thought that when the trapping
grows less profitable the number en-
gaging in the business will be much
smaller and the animals will have &
chance to increase.

PROF. ROYCE GAINS
FAME AS COMPOSER
Work of Former Middlebury Teacher
Noted by New York Tribune: Has
Written MANY Light Operas

A recent article in the New York
Tribune is devoted to the musical ca
reer, particularly to the last few years,
of Mr.. Edward Royce, former professor
of music at Middlebury College. Dur
ing the last three years Mr. Royce has
composed some of the most popular
light opera ever produced on an Amer
lean stage. Irene, ooh! Boy, Going
Up, apple Blossoms" written in
collaboration with Kreisler, the distin-
guishd violinist and "Lassie" are all
works from Mr. Royce's pen which
have attained an enormous popularity.
Mr.. Royce was chosen by the manage
ment of kissing Time" to direct the
final rehearsals of that production, a
singular honor for a man practically
unknown in the theatrical world until
a comparatively short time ago.
Mr.. Royce has attained distinction
in the realms of serious music as well
Recently at recital of Harold Bauer,
one of the most distinguished piano
virtuosos now living his composition
"Set of Eight" was enthusiastically re-
ceived by the critics. Josef Holman
regarded as the legitimate successor
of Paderewski has placed Mr. Royce's
compositions on many of his programs
both on tour, and in New York.
