BRITTON, BURNED
BY HOT METAL
LOSES ONE EYE

DR.. l. P. Sharon, assisted by DR..
J. }. Ross, performed a delicate op-
Grafton at the office of DR.. Ross
Wednesday, when the right eye of
R L. Britton was removed. The
vision Of the right eye was destroy
ed by molten metal when Mr.
Britton was burned by babbitt at
the plant Of the Hortonia company
on May 10. 1t vas thought at first
that the vision might be saved but
later it was found that the sight
was entirely gone. In order to pre-
vent sympathetic affection of the
left eye, it was decided that evils
ceration was the only safe course to
pursue DR., Wheeler, noted New
York specialist who was here for
Commencement, made an examina-
ton and confirmed the opinion of
DR.. Sharon The vision of the left
eye is unaffected.

FARMERS EXCHANGE
SHIPS LIVE STOCK
FOR THE FARMERS
Aggregate Sales of $4,000
Have Been Made Since
Plan Started
SHIPMENTS MADE
ONCE EACH WEEK
Addison County Had First
Live Stock Shipping As
sociation in The East

A local enterprise that has reached
considerable volume of business durinc
the past year is the weekly shipping o.
livestock under the cooperative mar
keting system by the Addison County
Farmers Exchange. The first ship
ment was made March IA, 1921. Since
that time weekly shipments have been
made, OF one or more cars, for total
aggregate sales of $4,000
The shipments to date include live
stock as follows:
2l5 dairy cows
292 beef animals
3l46 veal calves
1856 hogs
997 sheep and lambs
The shipments represent the market
ing of livestock from farmers all over
the county, who can arrange a. anv
time with the exchange for marketing
their animals and are assured the best
prices the market offers at the time of
shipment
Shipments are made Mondays. The
cars start at Vergennes, and livestock
is loaded at that place, at New Haven,
Middlebury, Salisbury and Leicester.
At the present time the Exchange says
that the price for beef is five cents,
New York veals l3 ID cents, hogs
II ID. while the demand and price for
dairy cows are good
1t perhaps is not generally known
that the local Exchange was the first
livestock shipping associa-
lion in the East. Washington county,
in this state has recently started the
plan and it is reported that they are
meeting with the same success that the
ocal association has had in its early
,ffOrts
The work is carried on for the bene-
it of the shipper as is shown by the
act that the Farmers Exchange has
-eceived but $500 for handling the bust
less for the shippers. This represents
ust the bare expense of handling the
business and indicates that the farmers
get all there is in the sale. Occasion
ally, of course, they strike a low mar
Set, but whatever there is in the trans
lCtiOn goes to the farmer.

The early his Dry of the College was
in itself the embodiment of the New
England spirit which knew no hard
ships scorned adversely, was unac-
quainted with failure, and took greater
courage and was spurred on TO renewed
efforts, in proportion as the obstacles
seemed insurmountable As we ex-
anime the roster of the earlier days of
the life Of the College, we are con
strained to eXclaim Indeed there were
giants in those days and it is to such
men that we trace the success and
spirit OF the Middlebury of today
Twice after 1893 Timothy Dwight
visited Middlebury and in 1911 after
| his last visit he wrote THE Academy
began to prosper from the time when
it was opened, and was, in the year
1900, raised by an act of Incorporation
into a College From that time to the
present it has continued to prosper, al
though its funds have been derived
from private donations, and chiefly, if
not wholly, from the inhabitants of
this town The number of students is
now no, probably as virtuous a col
any seminary in the world When it
is remembered that twenty-five years
ago this spot was a wilderness, it must
be admitted that these efforts have
done the authors of them the highest
honor"
A little more than a century has
passed since these words were written
and we may we'll ask ourselves on this
feStal occasion Have we kept the
faith of the fathers' Have we lived
up to the traditions of our early his
tory? Is the Middlebury of today
worthy Of the sacrifices and are we full
filling the hopes and prayers of her
founders?
The Legislative Act which constitut-
ed the charter of the College provided,
"That the President and Fellows
Of the College shall have
power to appoint i y tutors, profes-
sors and all such other officers
y as they shall find necessary
for promoting good literature and well
ordering and managing the affairs Of
said College and to prescribe and
administer such forms of Oaths, not be
ing contrary to the Constitution and
laws of this state, or Of the United
States, as they shall think proper to
be administered to all those officers
and instructors y for the faithful
execution of their respective places, Of
fees and trusts"
And the Act further provides
That the President and Fellows
shall have the government, care and
management of the said College, and
all matters and affairs thereto belong
ing; and shall have power to
make, ordain and establish all such
wholesome and reasonable laws, rules
and ordinances, not repugnant to the
and laws of this state or
the United States as they shall think
fit and proper, for the instruction and
education of the students and ordering,
governing, ruling and managing the
said College, and all matters, affairs
and things thereto belonging
So, at its very inception, adherence
to the constitutions of the nation and
state was made fundamental of the
life and existence of the College. How
faithfully the College has fulfilled this
trust the written history OF the past
century reveals-No governmental at
tack has ever emanated from her halls,
no traitor to his country's welfare can

by Dr. James NJ Clifford, of New York
city Sketchng briefly the history and
TRADITIONS of the College, DR.. Clifford
called particular attention to Middle
bury's loyalty for over a century to ma
tional and Christian ideals. He said:
Today we celebrate the l2Oth Com
mencement Anniversary and the l22nd
year Of the existence of our Alma Ma
ter" Measured by the life of man
we naturally look upon the College
as a comparatively youthful insttu
ton and yet she ranks among the old
est of the colleges and universities of
our country Indeed her origin dates
back almost to the beginning Of our
Republic and our National Constitu
ton had been a tried experiment OF
only twelve years when the Vermont
Legislature granted a charter for the
College
The College was founded when Mid
dlebury was in the midst Of an almost
inaccessible wilderness and when op-
portunities for higher educational train
ing were practically unknown in north
ern New England.
In 1898 Timothy Dwight, then Presi-
dent of Yale College made the tedious
trip into this north country. \ Gram
mar school had just been chartered and
already the plan for organizing col
lege was being agitated and met the
hearty approval and cooperation Of
this great educator A petition for a
charter was Immediately presented to
the Legislature and two years later, on
November lst, 1900 Jeremiah Atwater,
Gamaliel Painter, Nathaniel and Dan
iel Chipman, Seth Storrs Call of blessed |
memory and others were created a
"body corporate and polite" under the
technical name of "The President and |
Fellows Of Middlebury College" BY |
the Act creating the College Jeremiah
Atwater, a graduate of Yale, was estab-
lished as the first President of Middle
bury College And so, at the dawn of
Vermonts history Middlebury College |
had its birth and was launched upon
a sea of experiment, hope and conf
dence
We of today wonder at the courage,
yea, the audacity, Of the handful of
Middebury citizens who, without ma
tional or state aid, without endowment
or financial resources of any kind,
dared to undertake the organization OF
a college far from the centers of trade
and the arteries of commerce, in a
state sparsely settled and in a section
where ones livelihood must be wrought
out through a constant fight with ma
ture

Why not select a half dozen or a
dozen different things that you have
not grown before to set out this spring,
so that you can know the pleasure OF
having flowers in your garden, or to
cut for bouquets for your table all sea-
son through? You know what a differ

bloom early or late largely according
to the time they are planted-unless
they happen to run into dry weather,
when they often dry up and fail with
out blooming at all. But every pc
