ACADEMY WINS
FROM DANVlLLE
BY 23-22 SCORE
Company d Runs Riot
Over Bethel Sc to 20 In
DOuble-Header

Announced as the side show, the
brilliant eye-lash victory % TO %
Of st. Johnsbury Academy over
Danville High school, proved to be
the main attraction of the double
bill at the Armory last night. Com
pany d toyed with Bethel, dispos-
ing of that weaker aggregation by
the score of 56 to 20.
Rarely have two contending
school quintets displayed such re-
markable form as did the Academy
and Danville High in their first
game of the season. Both fives
passed in mid season style. The
spirit and dash which members Of
both teams injected into the fray
brought the crowd of fans to their
feet in wild shouts of admiration.
If ever a crowd got the full
value of its money it was when the
Academy and Danville started
| their dash after referee Hoernle
had blown his whistle. The crowd
silent at first, because this game
was arranged as sort of side fea-
ture broke into thunderous ap-
plause as these high school lads
took the occasion to themselves
and made the game one which
| will be talked about for a long
time.
AT the opening Of the game in
| terest seemed to favor the Acad-
! emy as many expected that they
would have a comparatively easy
time over these lads who hail
from the sturdy little school with
only 100 pupils. They We're
doomed to a plea SAINT surprise. The
Danvilie lads were apparently be-
wildered by the proportions of the
crowd before which they were per-
forming. They We're slow in get
ting under way, and Pike and
Dickinson had registered six
points for the Academy before
Peck the whirlwind center Of the
visitors took the affair in his own
hands and dashing down he floor
Gagged a beautiful one. A minute
later he repeated the performance.
From that time on it was hard to
tell which side the crowd favored
for all cheered themselves hoarse
each time either of the contenders
Tailed a goal.
First Period
The period had hardly started
when Pike, the Academy center,
on pass from Dickinson Gagged
the big sphere. A minute later
Dickinson repeated the perform
ance. Then followed a fast ex-
hibition in which the Academy
seized the bali ind Pike again
looped the loop. Danville, becom-
ing alarmed at the lead, jumped
in to the fray like tigers. Peck
their center twice in succession
took the ball and dribbling the
floor jailed the elusive sphere
while the crowd applauded wildly.
Pike followed quickly with one
for the Academy, and Peck not to
be outdone, dropped in one for his
aggregation, The play was now
becoming fast and furious, with

AGRICULTURAL SITUATION
IN u. S. IMPROVES

WASHINGTON, Dec, 9-The
general agricultural situation in
the United States has improved
slightly as indicated by the month
ly agricultural review of the De-
partment of Agriculture. Cotton
grain and live stock prices as well
as prices of the things farmers
have to buy, have risen slowly
"This has put a little money into
the pockets of some farmers, put
heart into many more and had
done both for those who carry
farm products through the chan
mel of trade" the review says. Ap-
pie growers have been hit hard by
low prices in Eastern markets.

Haven, Conn. on October 13 with
intent to rob. Mills, who was rep
presented by no counsel, threw
himself upon the mercy of the
court and received his sentence
from Chief Justice F. NJ. Butler.
Mills who led the officers a
merry chase through New Eng
land and New York, and was final
ly captured in a lumber camp near
Troy, N. Y, and returned to st.
Johnsbury for trial, was arraigned
in Caledonia county Friday after
ternoon on two informationS by
States Attorney James B. Camp
bell.
One charged him with an assault
with a revolver with intent to rob
the person of NJ. j. Warner of
New Haven, Co.in., on the Dan
vile road on the 18th day Of last
October. The second indictment
charged him with the more serious
offense of an assault on the date
mentioned upon Mr.. Warner with
a revolver with intent, if resisted,
to commit murder.
No action was brought at this
time against Mills for breaking
Jail or for the theft of six automo-
biles at different times in four
states during his spectacular whirl
wind trip through New England.
Mills has been confined in county
jail since he was extradited from
New York state. He decided to
plead guilty to the first information
for which the statute provides a
maximum penalty of ten years in
prison. For the second offense
named the maximum penalty in
this state is twenty years. The
young man was not represented by
counsel. He did not ask for any
one to represent him.
States Attorney recounted the
facts in Mills career which led
UP to the committing of the
crimes charged and it was his
recommendation that he be given
a sentence sufficiently severe to
bring the offender to realization
of the fact that he had been riding
rough-shod over the laws of the
land, violating them right and left
at his own sweet will.
Judge Butler in imposing SEN
tence, said that one the hardest
things the court has to do is to
sentence a man to prison and de-
prive him of his liberty, and palti-
cularly so in, this case because of
the youth Of the respondent.
"Thi3 young men," said Judge
Butler, "has been called more of
