NORWICH UNIVERSITIES GOOD
FORTUNE.

Announcement OF the size Of the be-
quest to Norwich university from the
estate of the late Gen. Rush c. Haw-
kins brings marked pleasure to the
friends of that institution and to the
friends of education in general. The
sun of $350,000 named as the residue
to come to the institution at Mortified
makes one of the largest, if not the
largest single gift OF a private nature
to be made to any Vermont education
al institution and the contribution is
so munificent as to indicate a consid-
cradle development in the possibilities
Of Norwich. If there are no conditions
attached, it is to be expected, perhaps,
that some portion of the bequest will
be utilized for building purposes and
that a goodly proportion will be salt
ed away" in the form Of an endow-
ment fund. Any educational institu-
ticn not wholly supported by public
funds is DESTROYS Of firmly establishing
itself financially; in fact, endowment
is considered nowadays absolutely nee
essary. Therefore, Norwich, which is
not heavily endowed, may be expected
to put away a part Of the Hawkins be
quest in the shape of permanent in
yestment, the income only to be used.
There is enough in the bequest to make
that possible and still devote a large
sized moun for some building pro-
ject, which may appear to be desir-
able at this time when Norwich is ex-
banding. AT any rate the institution
is to be congratulated on its good for
tune.

Vermont's welcome to Marshal Foch
was so cordial and so whole hearted
that the great military genius may
find himself pleased to return at a
later date and traverse the same route
through Vermont which his illustrious
countryman, Lafayette, took after his
military exploits in the United States.
Lafayette's tour was made in 1925.
So 1928 would be a fitting time for
Marshal Foch to return to America
and come up through the White river
valley route to Rcyalton, South Barre.
Montpelier. and thence on to Burling-

Nj. and Mrs. Olney F. Seaver Cele-
brate 55th Anniversary.

tits not often that a couple can look
back on 55 years Of welded life but
this is just what Mr.. and Mrs. Olney
Il. Seaver were doing on the 18th Of
December. The word had been quietly
passed among their friends that a post
card would be a fitting reminder of the
anniversary and about 80 were re-
ceived. The day was spent for the
most part quietly at home, though
quite a number Of callers were received
and Mr.. Seaver's only remaining Gus
in, Wesley NJ. Seaver, and his wife
came for a little chat and stayed to
dinner with them. The couple were
married in Barre, on the 18th of De-
cember, 1866 by Rev. i. s. Bliss, and
went 70 the farm that Mr.. Seaver had
bought, their home being one OF the
few brick farm houses in town and
now owned by Joseph LaFlower, where
they lived 12 years and where their
son, Carl w. Seaver, was born. Mrs.
Sewers maiden name was Marcia Car
penter. She was born in Vershire,
though her parents later moved to this
town.

FORMER DRY AGENTS HELD AS MEMBERS
 LIQUOR GANG

CHICAGO, Aug. 29. - With the arrest today of two former prohibi- tion enforcement agents, federal officers declared they had broken up a band fhose operations have cost Chicago saloon keepers more than s100,000.
 It was declared members of the band would take the orders of sa- loon keepers for whiskey. When the liquor was delivered and they had received their money, other members of the band, representing themselves as Federal officials, would seize the liquor and maxe the saloon keeper pay a sum rang ing up to S2,000 to escape arrest. Then the operation would be re- peated many times.
