Jordan, vice president of the |Farmers'” assoctation, took charge of the meeting after the address of wel- !come. For two hours and a half the men present listened to some inter- esting and to the point discourses on asriculture by members of the faculty of the Connecticut Agricultural col- ilege. President C.

At the present time he said thehre were six assoclations in the eight counties of the state. Worthington C, Kennedy of Putnam, who has been employed as the special farm agent for this county, said that one of the first things to do was to get thoroushly acquainted with the farmers of the county and this he would do as the first effort on_his part in the work for which he had been selected.

Telephone Lady Assistant Fastern Connecticut Development committee and one of the very enjoy- able features of that mesting was the most interesting discourse given by E. C. Morse of Putnem, who spoke on the question of revaluation of tax- able property. He referred to the fact that Windham had been fortunate in having a revaluation, but the work, while it had been done exceedingly well, was not perfect. He said that in Putnam It was voted to have a re- valuation of the taxable property. In his opinion it was an excellent thing to have a large grand list with a small rate of taxation rather than a small list and a high rate of taxation. When one told a stranger seeking a place to engage In business that the rate of taxation was say five or six mills it made a good Impression. But when one “said twenty-one or twenty-two mills, that frightened him away. Mr, Morse gave the men present a fine idea of the so-called Somers sys- tem of revaluation. He told about a tallc given by a man engaged in that system of work, to Putnam men. The system Is one of computation rather than placing of values. A unmit is taken, That is on the land. A value is placed on that by the citizens them- selves. From that unit is computed the valte of all the balance of the land in a community. Then afterwards men go_out and lock over the build- ings, taking notes as to the material, size, condition and other facts. This data is then submitted to the experts and they fizure the value of the build- ings on_ the basis that architects fig- ure on bufldings. In that way a very desirable valuation is received. That the men present greatly appre. clateq Mr. Morse's talk was evidenced by the hearty applause given to him at_the close, The association, acting upon the suggestion of President Joseph T. Crittenden, voted to have a speaker supplied by the Americans Bankers assoctation give & lecture during April Dbefore the five Business Men'’s associa- tions represented by the committee. The lecture will be on Thrift, a sub- ject of interest to all. The calendar for the lecture as agreed upon is as follows: April 12, New London; April 13, Norwich; April 14, Willimantic: April 15. Danielson; April 15, Putnam. President Critten: den suggested that it would be a good idea to have a lunch at noon with the lecture at night on the occasfon of the lecturer’s -visit to each respective place. He hoped that this would have a tendency toward bringing the bank- ing interests of this section of the state in_closer relation with the mercantile interests. Charles W. Pearson of Norwich, sec- retary of the committee, reported that the matter of a Buflding and Loan as- sociation had been taken up there and athoughl no definite action had been decided upon, there was.much interest and the people seemed to want such an assoclation. He told of an address which had been delivered there before the business men by a very able au- thority on this subject and the people were quite enthused. There is to be another meeting soon for further ac- tion on the proposition, Special City Meeting. Will the city of Willimantic spend $5,000 this summer for permanent pav- ing or not? This question will be decided tonight at a special city meet- ing in the town hall. Those who want to rescind the appropriation made at the annual meeting in December pro- viding for permanent paving have not let any grass grow under their feet for several days, but have conducted an active campaign seeking to get men to promise to attend the meeting and oppose the paving. Those in favor of the paving have not sat still and looked on while the other camp was out recruiting. They were busy also. The meeting tonight promises to be interesting because some of those in- terested on both sides have been get- Children Who Are Sickly .

DAILY WASTE COLLECTION. Borough to Be Cleaned Up By Practi- cal and Effective Method. A plan for the collection of garbage and other ‘waste throughout the borough has been introduced by a Dayville man was explained to the borough_ caucus Tuesday evening by ex-Warden W. L Bullard. The plan provides for a daily house to house collection and at a cost almost negligi- Dle for those who accept the service, which if established and properly sup- ported and carried out will be one of the best innovations inaugurated in Danielson in a long time. A number of familics have already signified their intention to support the scheme. COUNTRY CLUB. Advocated by Frederick R. Elston, Elmville, of What looks like @ first class idea— the establishment of a country club in Danielson or vicinity, for the promo- tion of golf, tennis ana_other health- ful outdoor sports—has been advanced by Frederick R. Elston of the Sonnhill Worsted mills at Elmville. Time and conditions seem _particularly _oppor- tune for organizing such a club. There are many lovers of outdoor sports in the villages of this town, most of them hankering for some di- version that would take them out in the open and give them the thrill that can be realized only from active ex- ercise where the two greatest of re- storers for fagged nerves—fresh air and sunshino—may be ~ assimilated while the brain busies itself with an interest that is not grinding routine, Golf, one of the greatest of sports, has been neglected here. The game of monarchs and millionaires is not patented for the proference of a sten- cil few. It's everybody’s game and one of the health builders. That's the idea spreading over the country and there isn't any reason why it shouldn’t be adopted_here. Mr. Elston is anxious fo Interest those who would golf or play tennis. From conferences that he might se- cure, some definite line of action might be adopted and an _organization brought about in a short time. Mr. Elston’s interest is purely the interest of one who would see the club formed for the pleasures it would make possi- ble. HIGH SCHOOL HONORS.

No one was hit by the bullets, but there was a general scampering for cover. The shooting started after the railroad men had commenced to cléan up the would-be roughhousers. Following up_thelr advantage, the railroad men chased after the gang they had been fighting, but they all escaped.
