One of the most daring jewelry robberies ever perpetrated in this vicinity was successfully "pulled off" some time Sunday night when bold and expert thieves entered the jewelry store of Randall & Whitcomb, St. Johnsbury, and removed watches and diamonds valued at from $1,500 to $1,800. "Easy pickings" was the wording of a note found on one of the showcases by the clerk who opened the store Monday morning. tThe startled em ployee rushed to the safe and found the door wide open. The cabinets and drawers where the valuables had been stored had been rifled ; every precious stone and piece of jewelry removable had been taken by the robbers. The local authorities were notified and Sheriff W. H. Worthen and deputies inaugurated a search for the guilty parties. Officers working on clues visited White River Junction and Berlin, N. H., but up to date no trace of the robbers has been found. One of the firm stated that he was in doubt as to whether the safe had been securely locked when the store was closed Saturday night. There were no evi dences that the thieves were compelled to use forcible means to break open the safe and the police believe that the safe door was found open. The pro prietors are inclined to the theory that a former employee is concerned in the robbery. Monday evening, shortly after nine o'clock, word was received at Barton that parties riding a northbound freight were suspected of this robbery and Constable Jennings secured a posse of men, had the train flagged and se cured two young follows, who were kept in the lockup over night and were taken to St. Johnsbury yesterday 'by Sheriff Worthen of that place and held for a hearing.

Number of Sub scribers Now In and More Wanted. Send In Your Subscription. A meeting of the Executive Com mittee, Finance Committee, and the Advisory Council of the Orleans Coun ty Agricultural Association was held at Orleans on Wednesday, April 29th, with most of the members of the Committee named in attendance. The Secretary of the Association, Mr. Richmond, informed the members present that the Trustees of the Uni versity of Vermont had voted $1200 a year to the Association and that the fiscal year would begin on July 1st next. This is federal money which comes through the State Agricultural uoiiege, ana its purpose is tor agri cultural extension work, and it may also be appropriated for the County Agent's work. The members of the Committees went over the situation carefully and t ilked the matter over thoroughly, and it was unanimously voted to hire a County Agent immediately, and have him at work with the farmers in the County within a week or ten days. The result ia that R. E. Deuel a graduate of Cornell University, and a man whp has been with the University of Vermont extension work, for the past four months, a man who is a practical farmer, being a farm bred boy and familiar with the practical side of farming, as well as the scien tific end of agriculture, a .man who seems to be qualified in every respect to carry out this work to the best ad vantage, and it is boped that the farmers and business men will co operate with him, so that he may do his best work in the County. There probably is no County in the State where the enthusiasm for this particular work has been as manifest as in Orleans County, The business men have taken hold of this propo sition as well as the farmers and great results are looked for. The Orleans Trust Co. of Newport have pledged $200. The National Bank of Newport $100 a year for the support of this Association. The Association is also assured that the National Bank at Derby Line will pay the same amount. The Savings Bank and Trust Company at Barton pledged $200 a year. The Central Savings Bank and Trust Com- i pany at Orleans has pledged $100 a year, and the other banks in the County assure the Association that they will support this Association in so far as it is possible to do po. Inasmuch as the Association has completed its organization, and the County Agent is a 6ure thing, there remains now a duty for the officer?, as well as every one interested in this work in Orleans County and that is to put their shoulders to the wheel and help make a campaign for new sub scriptions and to collect the amount already subscribed. The number ot individual subscriptions from each town in tfc County, and the number who ought, to subscribe is given in the table.as follows: No. who have No. who ought subscribed to subscri Albany 25 75 Barton 57 125 Brownington 40 75 Coventry 26 75 Charleston 36 100 Craftsbury 28 ' 75 Derby 34 100 Glover 39 75 Greensboro 41 75 Holland ,8 75 Irasburg 28 4 75 Jay 3 50 Lowell 16 75 Morgan 34 75 Newport 121 150 Troy 13 75 Westfield 21 ' 75 Westmore 22 50 592 1475 The individual subscriptions to date amount to $621.00, inasmuch as cer tain individuals have subscribed more than $1 00. There are two things which are es sential in order to make the Associa tion a complete success in every way. In the first place let every one do his share in securing the necessary amount of money, and in the second place let every one stand by the County Agent and help h?m in every possible way. s -This is clean-up week, remember. Any child who works four hours at cleaning up next Saturday can . get a puzzle of Mr.; Seaver which is worth trying for. Let everybody observe the clean-up. paint-up, slick-up idea. It makes a great difference the village over.
