United president States Senator of the ociation, will preside. The speaker has not hoen seleeted and this is delaying sending Bingham, {out formal announcements, 1t would be a splendid thing' if cw Dritain could sccure the 1925 mecting for this city, Tt will be re- called that the meeting was sched- uled to be held here while the Bur- ritt hotel was under construction, the belléf existing that the building would be completed in time. But the plans went awry and the ban- quet went elsewhere, With accommo- dations now cxisting for a first class banquet, a great deal of persuasion might not be needed to swing the affair in this dircction. It is probable that thls year's event will be in the nature of a rousing testimonlal to Senator Bingham. He has led the republi- party to victory twice in the last ycar, reaching the highest of- fices at the disposal of the elector- ate by margins which left no doubt as to what the people were think- ing. Without question, he is the leader of the party in Connecticut, although J. Henry Roraback stands n the background and is suspected of prompting occasionally. New Britain will send a large delegation to the meeting. The “Hardware City” has frequently had the largest representation round the banquet tables and as the local leaders are still in a jubi- lant mood, they will do their bost to create enthusiasm and make a good showing. The raising of beef cattle in New England is receiving increasing at- tention during the past few months. Plans are under way to perpetuate this interest. The interest is appar- ent not alone among hreeders of pure-bred beef cattle. Operators of tobacco farms in the Connccticut valley are feeding cattle and mar- ket gardeners are looking toward livestock as & source of a necessary fertilizer, Five or six years ago little at- tention was being given to the rais- ing of beef cattle in New England. | There were a few herds scattered liere and there. Only a few animals were entered and led into the live- stock show rings of the agricul- fairs. About four years ago three enthusiasts put their heads together and developed a plan to interest the boys and girls in heef raising. The enthusiasm of youth is contagious. It spread to friends and neighbors, Even more recently, the crop farmer who was ignoring live- stock has turned his attention to the beef steer, An increase s noticcable in the number of pure-bred heef herds and the quality is markedly improved The entrics are steadily increasing the agricultural fairs and New England stand well forward at Makes Random Observations and Its People sald her bogs was awfully niee and brought her a box of chocolates for Christmas, She admitted that shy liked* him very much and wished he didn't have such a cross wife be- cause she just felt that he would be much happler it he dld not have s0 many worrles at home, “Huh,” replied the other girl. “If my boss brought me a box of choco- lates I'd throw them back in his tace.
