Perreault, tree specialist, was recently awarded a $14,000 contract by Miss Emily Morgan of Hartford, for the elms on her summer home at Brooklyn, Conn. The farm known to all Danielson and vicinity as Put- nam Elms, is said to have more elms on its acres than any other farm in the state of Compecticut. By Wheel to Camp. Danielson has at last found its cy- clist champion in the person of Ray- mond Allen, assistant-postmaster of the local office. Unable to plan a suitable time to visit the military eamp at Hampton this week, this knight of the wheel rose one morning recently and started on his pilgrimage while all Danielgon still snoozed, arriving at the encampment about 6 a. m, after making the trip there in but a few minutes over the hour. When the set- tlement had been surveyed in detail, ;12.8 return trip was made without mis- What Mlarmed the Camp. Strange things happen at all camps but One of the strangest heard of yet is_going the rounds of Alexander's lake where summer campers are tenting in numbers. While returning to camp on. evening a while ago, Shortly be- fore midnight, strange rustlings and unusual sounds proceeded from the shrubbery surreunding the tents, while near by just at one side of the path gleamed a pair of eyes. The approach of the campers did not in the least dis- turb the animal, and the strange sounds. continued. Semeone in _the party suggested throwing a bough from a dead tree nearby, so the bough was thrown-—but still the eyes gleamed on. Another memier suggested lighting a lantern to frighten the unconcerned thing away, but po one would get the lentern which was in the cook tenmt near the eyes. But at last with the forces armed wih an axe, a cange pal- dle, and a bread knife, a daring at- tack was made, but the animal did not budge an inch, for the eyes were noth- ing but phosphorous on the side of 2 Stump near the path. Mr. ang Mrs. T. E. Hopkins and Mrs, George S, Brown recently spent the day at Rocky Point, R. L, making the trip by automobile. Lost in the Woods. Some days ago a party of local gizls set out for a picnic at Old Killipaly. During the day several of the young ladies attired themselves in bathin costume to seek relief from the heat in the cool waters of the ppond. All went well until two of the party thought what a grand time they would have in a short stroll in the woods nearby, so off they started. They wandered here and there at will, but ‘when the hour for returning came, one path was as bad an another and they wandered first on this and then on that. At last a large farmhouse was found and what was better still, there Was not a man in sight. Upon inquir- ing ‘as to tleir whereabouts, the good lady of the house set them wight in regard to directions for returnipg, and off the girls started but alas in the wrong. direction. Peeping from ' her kitchen window, she who had given the directions saw what had happened and so, hastening toward the lost Babes in the Woods, she started them on the right read, New for some time the weary girls walked, without see- ing apy sisn of life until they finally caught sight of a large olr house, com- monly known as Camp Whl.p?oorwfll. Now they knew they were lost for neither of the girls remembered ever having seen or even heard of this old mansion. But plucking up courage and the skirts of their bathing. suits, more questions were asked with the re- sult that the wonderful discovery was made that the lake was but 200~ yards from: where they stood. And so the lost were found just as the re- mainder of the party was starting out in search for them. Local Notes. T. J.

Feature of Friday's Manoeuvering at Hampton—Blue Army Again Vie- terious. ‘With the return of fair weather and clear skies Friday, life at the U. S, Camp at Hampton assumed a different aspect Friday morning. The feature of Friday’s activities was the attack and defense of a wagon train. The wagon train started on. its journey from camp to North Windham, pro- tected by the Blue army, arriving there safely although the Red army attacked it in the vicinity of Scotland. This manceuvering ended also in a vietory for the Blues since their object was to get the train through to North Windham. Captain Howard led the victorious army while Captain Smith commanded the Reds. Thursday the Second squadren of U. 8. cavally was paid off, the ma- jority of the company heading at ance for Willimantic where they sought to forget the cares and inconviences of camp life in the big city. Otfiers of the encampment. upon hearing through one of the brothers that a dance was scheduled for the town of Hampton, hastened to_ doll up and start for the front. Judging from the various reports of the soiree, there was not a dull moment for anvone, especially as the femala of the species, “just love to dance with the seoldier boys.” Major General Leonard Wood, com- mander of the Department of the East, Brigadier General A, L. Mills, general staff chief of the mijlitia di- vision of the war depariment, and Ad- jutant General (Jeorge M. Cole, Con- necticut National guard arrived at the camp Thursday on a tour of in- spection.

Canada. ion milk bring producer such poor returns as righ here in Eastern Conngcticut. ~Being tributary to so.many large cities as well as” small manufacturing centers, and being threaded by numerous lines of transportation, both steam roads and trolley. is very strange indeed, that such a dition should prevail, and naturally leads one to believe that ther; is something radically wrong som, : place. How the Prices Average. The general retail price of milk in the largest cities of the country is from niffe to ten cents and the produc- er is paid, in no instance, less than five cents per quart. and in most cases, six cents at the farm. In extreme cases such as prevail at Charlestown, N. C., and Los Angeles, where the retail price is highest, the producers are paid from seven to cight cents per quart. Yet, within the radius of forty miles limit from Danielson the producer in no case is paid as much as five cents, and during the greater part of the sea- son is paid only from three to four cents. Boston and Providence are our principal markets and yet the retail price is ten cents in Boston and nine cents in Providence. Too High Cost of Feed. On the other hand, the producer in this section is dependent largely on shipped-in-feed which commands higher figures than in most any other section in the United States and av- SWEET BUTTER FINE YELLOW ONIONS 3 lbs, EXTRA HEAD SODA, MILK, OYSTER BEST MAINE CORN 2 qts. PEA BEANS | 1 bottle CATSUP. .. | erages throughout the year from twen- ty-five to forty cents advance over that paid by dairymen in other localities Wwhere the prices of milk is higher. These eonditione are almost intolerable and leads one to inquire where this extrzordinary difference between three cents to the farmer and ten cents to the consumer, with such a short trans- portation distance of sixty miles, to 80. There can be but one answer to this question and that is the extraor- dinary difference is paid to the dis- tributor, or, in other words, to the milk dealer. The transportation raies, named the public, either by steam or troley lines a3y fair and reasonable at 80, in theory, but the service rendered is so poor that it makes this reasonable tariff rate nugatory. The Transportation Problem. For instance, the tariff on a ten quart can of milk from East Killingly to Providence, & distance of twenty-two miles, is only two cents or 1-5 of a cent per quart and the rate from Dan- felson to Boston is slightly in excess of these figures. Therefore, the trans- rtation charge is a emall factor and counts for very little of the dif- ference from the amount paid to the producer and the amounts paid by consumer. But, how does this transportation problem work out in actual practice? Milk is one of the most perishable farm products and can be shipped safely only where proper refrigera- tion 'is furnished and this refrigera- tion is only furnished to special fa- vored shippers, rendering the service absolutely impracticable to the com- mergial public. For example, the rall- road passing through Danielson fur- nished special iced cars fromn Nor- wich te Bostop and gives excessive control of the’ same to one firm in Boston. The Providence trolley lines does the same from Killinzly to Prov- idence to one firm in Providence. These milk trains do not invade each oth- ers territory. It is therefore impos- sible to ship milk to eoither Providence or Boston from this section except to these favored firms. In the Hands of a Monepoly, This makes the producer subject to the whims and greéed of a single firm. In other words, the milk business in this section is in the hande of a mon- opoly, one of the most arbitrary that ever existed in this or any other country. Boston drops the rate in sum- mer to three cents, simply beciuse they think the farmers can produce it in summer at a slight reduction of cost over the winter season, so they drop the price accordingly and pay them sufficient to keep them alive, but they still charge the usual ten per cent. to the consumer both summer and winter. thus appPopriating to themselves all the advantages arising from the cheap- er productien of the milk in- the sum- mer season, Farmers in State of Peonage. Farmers In this section of the coun- try are held, by these milk dealers, in almost a state of peonage and subject to the most arbitrary treatment and extortion not possible or practicable in other lines of business. For instance, the pkoducer on a written contract sup- plies for a stated time 2 given quali- ty of milk. This, in itself is not an unreasonable proposition, but in prac- tice greatly favors the dealer. If the farmer should make one can more than the stated amount 4s only paid half price for it and if by any accident, or reason, he cannot make the required amount he is penalized 50 per cent. on the difference. Moreover, when it suits the dealers’ convenience the milk is returned ta the producer marked “sour and unfit for use,” and the poor roducer's account is charged with g’lfl!pomflon both ways. One-Sided Sort of Settlement. The manner of settlement is also entirely one-sided arrangement in fa- vor of the dealer, but by their system of bookkeeping the producer is paid monthly. The payment is held back all the way from four to six weeks, thus causing the farmer not only to furnish the capital to carry om the dealers’ husiness but also puts in the dealers hands a fund to which he can con- veniently ol up to his account these extcrtions. In other words, the poor producer is absolutely at his mercy, and in most cases, is afraid| to quit the arraisement for fear he will lose the balance due him. ¢Now these are faets as they exist. Under these conditions it is no wonder the producers look upon the middle man as a kind of a pirate or brigand, while on the otherhand, the consumer !s fore- ed to buy adulterated articles at a high price and looks upon this same dealer with as much disfavor as if he was a foot-pad or a poreh climber, Cooperation the Remedy.

Alfred Bar- ret in East Killingly Baptist Church Quarrel — Temporary Injunction Withdrawn—Mrs. George A. Ham- mond Entertains For Her Nieces. So far as any legal restraint is con- cerned the Rev. Alfred Barrett of the Union Baptist church, East Killingly, may enter the church bullding at any time it is physically possible for him to do so. The faction of his congre- gation that has been trying to get him out withdrew their petition for a tem- porary injunction . They may vet ap- ply for a permanent injunction but as this will have to be done at the regu- dar term of court in September. no legal obsticles can be be imposed in the meantime. The time for the hear- ing on the petition for a temporary in- junction to restrain the reverend gen- tleman from entering the church was set for Friday morning at the superior vices and mediation of the commercial clubs in this district. If the price of milk could be raised to the producer to siy cents, f. o. b. nearest station, it woltld prove satis- factory and bring prosperity to a great many farmers in this lecality. If, on the other hand, this milk could be delivered without adulteration to the consumer in the large cities from 7 1.2 to 8 1,2 cents-instead of at ten cents, as now charged it would prove a bless- ing to thousands. In the first place, I would suggest that steps be taken to get the railroad companies to estab- lish their refrigerating shipping facll- ities to all shippers, big and little, on equal terms. The railroads are gener- ally fair. They are out for business on reasonable terms and are always willing to help build up the country through which they operate. I think, upon investigation, you will find that this milk can be transported from this district in refrigerated cars and delivered to either Bouston or Prov- idence for less than 1-2 cent per quart. And after allowing six cents to the producer this would put the milk in either of the above cities at a2 cost not ing 6 1-2 cents. Second, perfect ment with the grocers and the and provision markets in the meat cities to distribute milk to their cus. tomers the same as they groceries and provisions, frigerated facilities, no doubt, could be prevailed upon to take on milk & an additional line. I think you will find upon investigation that when they receive this milk properly bottled they would be willing to distribute the same over their countries at a profit of one cent per quart or to deliver the rame to their more favored customers at a cost not exceeding two cents per quart. Would Aid City Peor. This wofild make 7 1-2 cent milk possihle to the poor people of the cities who are the largest consumers and the rate not to exceed 8 cents to the richer people on delivery to their homes. Of course, these are just sug- gestions of mine, possibly some of the clubs could greatly improve the plan outlined herein. Permit me to gest that each commercial club instruct its secretary to . invite the leading farmers and producers in each locality to meet a committee of three business men at an early date and inform and discuss the matters complained of herein.

Judge Shume way was on hand as.were also nearly a hundred af the congregation of the East Killingly church, women of the flock dominating. A conference was held ta see if some solution of the difficulfy or-sgme sort of a compromise could not hm.&ffected. In the meantime the miniswers sup- porters occupied spectators’ seats in the main court room while the oppos- jng faction, who want to get the min- ister out were in the jury room. Judge Shumway left for his*home in Danfel- son stating that he would return &t two o'clock. It was nearly noon when the Rev. Mr. Barrett emerged from the state attorney's room where the conference was held. He went up to one of his suppefiers and was heard to say: ““There will be np compromise., we will fight. Eijther we will win or they w win!”' From the minister's side it b peared that when the judge reiurned at two olclock a hearing would be held. It appeared to the few disinterested spectaiors present that they were go- ing to have an opportunity to hear the inside o fthe difficulty aired from both points of view. But the hearing did not materialize, just why, some of the people cbuld mot exactly under- stand but the fact was, the petitioners for a temporary injunction withdrew their petition. This of course Jeft noth- ing for Judge Shumway to do. The petitioners of course may bring a pe- titlon at the regular term of court in September for & permanent infunction, A Church Divided Against Itself. The East“Killingly church has been gaining unwelcome notoriety for the past 8 or 10 weeks. The first inkling outsiders had of the troubled waters was when a notice appeared upon the church setting forth that no service would be held the following Sunday. This notice was speedily torn down and services were held. It thep became known that the consregation were in disruption on the question as to wheth- er the minister should go or stay. He had six months more time to serve ac- cording to his contract. A delegation waited upon him and offered him three months’ salary to waive his rights under the agreement. The money was thrown back at them and strewn about on the parsonage plazza. A subsequent offer of the amount for the full six months was made but this was spurned. Friends of the minister say that there offers were made‘without authority. After the notices had been posted to no effect the church doors were chained ad padiocked but these were removed in time for the regular church service. And so the breach has been widening until physical means having failed the faction that wanted the minister outside the walls of the church took preliminary legal steps to aceomplish their end by retaining counsel with\ingtructions to procure a temporary injunction forbidding Mr. Barrett from going inte the building. Minister Shamefully Used. According to & supporter of the min- ister he has been shamefully used al- most from the first of his coming to East Killingly. It seems that the La- dies’ guild connected with the church had saved a fund of some two or threg hundred dellars. This money was in the bank. There was a debt on the church. The minister said why not take the money from the bank and pay it toward the church debt. This start. ed the trcuble, accerding to this man, who was on the minister's side. Two or three women became very indignant to think of their savings being used so. ~ Others were talked to and agreed with them and their husbands fell in line. They degan to threaten to op- business men and call a mee some central town, like Danielson.

According to the min+ ister's supporter his side greatly ous- pumbered the other apd the viliage as a whole were in favop of Mr. Barrett. Mr. Barrett is an glishman short of feature, rugged of bulld with smal but piercing blue eves, and a square jaw that gives the appearance that he is weill able to look out for himself.
