This makes necessary a study of the usefulness and limitations of farmers’ and mu- nicipal markets, wholesale and retail, as a means of distributing farm pro- ducts. Consideration also must be glven to huckstering by the farmer, himself and the regular huckster, Eggs By Parcel Vost. A number of containers have been found that will safely convey eggs by parcel post, provided the postal em- ployes obey the regulations of the post office department as to handling. In the first twenty-five dozen egss shipped by parcel post, only five eggs were broken, and four of these werd in one package which was handled regardless of the rules, Rural Oredit. There is a general impression that farmers need better credit arrange- ments. Durtng the present session of congress, sub-committees of the com- mittee on banking and currency have devoted much time to the investiga- tion of rural.credits. In the printed report of its conclusions, the com- mission points out that “Agriculture has been the one great national in- dustry which has been without or- ganization and has been helpless be- fore the wonderful growth of our na- tion. Therefore, the financing of our farms has become a natlonal prob- lem. The savings of the nation must flow out to the farms in order to put agriculture on a proper basis as com- pared with other organized industries. ‘This can only be done by wise and pa- triotic legislation. . Good Roads Raise Values, It is hardly necessary for me to emphasize in this gathering the bene- fits of good roads. The direct effect which changing bad roads into good roads has upon land value and the general economic welfare of a com- munity is generally conceded. Where good roads replace bad ones, the values of farm lands bordering on the roads increase to such an'extent that the cost of road improvement is equalized, if not exceeded. The gen- eral land values, as well as farm values, show marked advances, fol- lowing the improvement of roads. The Haul to Market. As the roads in no way affect soil fertility or quality of the farm, ad- vances are due essentially to the de- crease in the cost of hauling produce to market or shipping point. Farms are now.regarded as plants for ‘the business of farming, and any reduc- tion in their profits through unneces- sarily heavy costs for hauling on bad roads naturally reduces thetr capi- talization into values. Roads and Schools, In any meeting for the betterment of conditions in rural communities, special attention is naturally given to the subject of schools and highways. And there is' a distinct relationship between the two subjects. The rural population is more willing to support better schools today than at any pre- vious time. 1t is being realized that | ment on the subject. | forest all educational activities or agencies must be more or less correlated, and, more than all else, that they must be accessible to the children. In many counties where bad roads prevail, most of the schools are of the one- room varlety. Forest Fires. Both and to the farmers of the state, the best care of our forest resources will always be an important matter. A large percentage of our land arca will yield its best returns growing wood. Like any other crop, the for- est crop requires intelligent care if it is to be a full croy. A pressing problem s that of the protection of forests against fire. The greatest of all possible safeguards against fire is the existencé of a strong and intelligent public senti- Most of our fires are the result of care- lessness on the part of individuals. Much can be done through an or- ganized system for the discovery and prompt putting out of fires; and the state and federal government are co-operating in the support of such a system. In the forests of Connec- ticut no such natural fire risk exists as in the forests of the far west where a large proportion of the fires are started by lightning on the high mountains, where a long dry season makes the forests highly in- flammable, and where the sparse pop- ulation makes quick action difficult. 1t every citizen fully realized his re- sponsibility for the exercise of care, and acted on that realization, there would be little need for anything else; forest fires would cease. HOLY FAMILY WHIST. The Holy Family circle of St Mary's church will hold a whist and entertainment in St. Mary’s school hall on the evening of April 29. The committee in charge consists of Mrs. A. E. Monsees. Mrs, James M. Curtin ard rs. M. T. Crean. The Holy Family circle probably does as much to alleviate the condition of the poor as any orgdnization in town -and fits {unctions are always well attended as its charitable purpose is appreclated. MAYOR'S MAIL, HEAVY. Mayor-elect Quigley will need to take a few days off to read through the various telegrams and letters of congratulation which he has received from all parts of the east. Men prom- inent in public life and private citi- 7ens have joined in wishing him a successful administration. D. of 1. SOCIAL. Isabella circle, National Daughters of Isabella, held a pleasant social after the business meeting in/ Judd's hall last evening. An interesting enter- teinment was furnished and luncheon was served.

Mel len, York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road company, may become the ac- tive read of a federated body su- preme among the various organiza- tions of the United States with which 2,000,000 rallroad employes are af- fliated. It became known yesterday that Mr. Mellen had been approached on the subject and that he was giving .it favorable consideration. The new or- ganization to be known as the Fed- erated Council of Railroad Brother- hoods,” will ‘be :formed at a meeting of delegates in this city<on April 26, and ‘the former' director of the New Haven railroad system will be nom- inated for the presidency. Promoted by Agents. The idea of the council has been promoted by the Order of Rallroad Station Agents, which met here in January and appointed a committee to invite the many independent su- cieties of railroad men to send dele- gations to the forthcoming meeting. It is stated that favorable responses were received and 100 delegates have been elected. At present there is no central body in this country and the organization will be along the line of the English and German federations. Harry Phil- lips, deputy lord mayor of West Ham, England, and associate secretary of the Federated Transportation Work- ers of England, will be present to aid In the organization. The council will represent all branches of the ser- vice including conductors, engineers, brakemen, station agents, freight handlers, telegraph operators, signal men and track walkers. Result of Speech. The plan to place Mr. Mellen at the head of the council was a direct outcome of a statement made by him in an ‘address at a dinner tendered him by employes of the Bostodf and Maine railroad here on November 30 after he had resigned the presidency of the New Haven. He had talked in- timately to the men of the latent pow- er in labor organizations and said that labor had not received the re- ward /it otherwise might because of jealousy among the different bodies and a lack of loyalty to the common cause. “‘Exercise your power dente,” he sald. dent, with pru- “‘Be fair, be pru- but be steadfast one to the other. You have the power and others must pay the pric: With some feeling, he concluded: “I would like to lead you. I would like to advise you. I want to help you. Possibly the time will come when I can do so, and when you call, you will not find me wanting.” No Definite Information, New Haven, April 17.—As no defi- nite information has yet come to him, Charles S. Mellen, former president of the New York, New Haven and Hart- ferd Rallroad company, sald today he cculd make no statement in connec- tion with the report from Boston that he may be asked to become the active head of a federated body which would e supreme among the various organi- zatlons of railroad employes in the country. “I suppose,” said Mr. Mellen, “that ar [ have many warm friends among 4, but l,lmvp received been 'menf UQ rmétionol “‘Which to no" Aefinite ‘more about the matter from reading the morning papers than I ever knew before. 1 feel very warmly towards the railroad men, and if they have such confidence in me and loyalty as to wish me to take the position, 1 should consider it the highest of com. pliments and would be inclined to make every effort to gra.lflv them.” Annual Regatta of the Universitics Will Be Held on June 18 and 19.
