Putnam, Conn., Aug. 26.—The milk supply question was taken up for dis- duesion at a gathering of producers of Windham county, with a committee ¢t the Boston Chamber of Commerce, today, this being the first of fifteen meetings to be held to deal with the matter of a decreasing supply sent to the Boston Market. The producers who mostly are farmers on small farms gave their views of the situa- tion. Epitomized their statements were that few if any farmers know the exact cost of producing milk; all want better prices; none is making money at the prices offered by the contrac- tcrs who serve as middlemen; from four to six cents a quart is not a suffi- cient price to bring return with the _ DPfesent prices on grain and other feed for milch cattle; that few farmers have individual shipping contracts, or as individuals are able to take their milk to Boston to supply customers. The speakers urged co-operation among farmers to the end that they might place their supply in Boston without dependence upon the middle- men. It was pointed out that returns to farmers have been so poor that many of them have given up milk raising. There were fully 150 farmers pres- ent. The next hearing will be at Haw- leyville, tomorrow. s SHOOES POLICEMAN'S WIDOW, vEY.

They at once made preparations for going to some seaport in Italy and were successful in getting a train to Genoa on Wednesday, August 5. Owing to *he fact that all avail- able horses had been taken away for | mobilization, the purty had some dif- ficulty in getting its baggage to the railroad station. A Protestant Italian minister, whom Mr. <Churchill en- gaged as a courier succeeded, how- ever, in obtaining the use of an old horse for a short time He har- nessed the equine to an old wagon in which he conveyed the luggage to the depot, the travelers being obliged to walk. Railroad . attendants were scarce, due to the mobilization work, and the party’s courier had to load the baggage onto the train himself, | being aided by a brother. Rumored Bombs in Tunnel. Mrs. Churchill says the passengers on the train felt rather uneasy dur- ing the ride to Genoa, especially while passing tarough the large tun- nel near the border line, in which, it had been rumored, wombs had heen placed. The train did not wait to ex- change its steam locomotive for an electric engine ac was usually ‘done. Upon arrival in the Italian seaport town, they immediately made tenta- tive arrangements for sailing on the Principe D'Udine. They did not know, definiteiy, that they would be able to cross on this ship, however, until only a few hours before it sailed. Escorted By British Crulsers, While going through the Strait of Gibraltar the vessel upon which they sajled was escorted by two British cruisers to avoid running onto hidden mines in the channel. The remainder of the yoyage was without incident until the steamer came within a few miles of the American coast, when one of the British cruisers patrolling in the vicinity caused the captain to bring his ship to a stop. The cruiser then came alongside to Investigate more closely and upon learning the i name of the ship and what cargo she carried signalled the Principe’s cap- tain to pass on, offering apologies for detaining the passengers. Friends to Fight Each Other, Mrs. Churchill says the conditions in Switzerland were very " pitiful im- mediately after war was declared. She says that five waiters in the hotel where she was staying all left a few days after the commencement of hos- tilities to join the armies of the dif- ferent countries, Each of the waiters, who had been friends for many years, was a subject of a different country, one being a German, another a Rus- | sian, another an Austrian, another a Swiss and another a Frenchman. They all expressed themseives as in- | dignant over the fact that they were obliged to fight against each other | archs. Those staying at the hotel noticed that they lacked all enthusi- asm as they left one night to join thelr Tespective armies, Little Enthusiasm. Very few of the people in Europe showed any enthusiasm, says Mrs. Churchill, and they all seemed to go to the front simply because they had to do so. Dr. Travis Home, Dr. Katherine H.
