Meeting Sunday— Suggestions by County Agent—Golf Course at Country Club Being Laid Out. Following an investigation here during the past two days by Charles A. Fine, deputy superintendent of weights and measures, and Walter F. Stiles, inspector of weights and meas- ures, have been here from Hartford investigating stocks of provision deal- ers. As a result six of the city’s bus- iness men were in the city court Wed- nesday afternoon to answer to a charge of having exposed for sale packages of goods on which the net weight was not marked, as required by law. Each dealér was fined $5 and the costs, in each case amounting to $5, making a total of $10 for each of the defend- ants to pay, which they did. All of the dealers admitted that they were familiar with the law requiring that all packaged goods sold by them should be marked so as to show the net weight of the contents, but they had been negligent about seeing that some lines were marked. They had previously ‘been warned to be careful in this respect. Other county towns will receive the attention of the weights and measures officials. The law which they are in- sisting shall be observed was passed at the 1911 session of the legislature and has generally been considered a great benefit to the consumer. It is possible that the jobbers who sold the local men the goods that brought a visitor in Danielson Wednesday. Want to Jeoin Fishing Club. Charles E.

The statement of Deputy Cattle Commissioner Frank A. Ingram that, as far as is known, Connecticut is free from foot and mouth disease, comes as welcome news to 'Windham county fair officials. It was feared that the pres- ence of the disease might prevent the holding of the annual cattle show at the fair next fali, and plans to meet such a contingency had heen given some consideratio; FATALLY INJURED. Milton Weaver, Bobbin Boy, Crushed in Dayville Mill Elevator. Milton Weaver, 16, was fatally in- Jured when caught between the floor of a freight elevator and the ceiling of one of the rooms at the plant of the Assawaga Woolen company at Dayville ‘Wednesday forenoon. Just how the accident happened no one really knows, for no one saw it. It was thought Wednesday afternoon that young Weaver, who was employed as a bob- bin boy, had started down from the third floor on the elevator and that in some unaccountable manner he re- versed the mechanism, causing the ele- vator -to change its downward course to .an ascending one, crushing him as he was caught as described. Dr. George Barnes was summoned and gave the injured young man attention. After he had been removed to the home of his foster parents, Mr. and Mrs, Patrick ‘Weaver, Dr. Barnes made a further ang more detailed examination to de- termine the nature of the injuries, which appeared to be internal, for no bones were found broken. He died ‘Wednesday afternoon. WEDDING. Holehouse—Kennedy. At the home of her mother, Mrs. Mary J. Kennedy, Spring street, Wed- nesday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, Miss Ethel A.

The home was wvery prettily decorated, laurel and cherry blossoms predom-. inating in the arrangement used. The bride wore a gown of -white ¢repe de chine. Her attendants were 'her lit- tle nieces, Janet Kennedy, who acted ag ring bearer, and Lois Kennedy and Nora Holehouse, a relative of the groom, who acted as flower girls. Mrs. F. A, Kennedy played the wedding ‘march, The marriage was followed by a re- <eption., Refreshments were served by about their arrests may pay back to the retailers the amount of money they paid In court, for it has been con- sidered {n the past the duty of the jobber to properly mark packages.

The meet- ing of the Fourth degree knights will be the first to be held in this city. COUNTY AGENT’S SUGGESTIONS. How to Make Cooperation a Practical Success—Getting ‘Rid of Tent Cater- ‘With the help of the county agent, the Woodstock Cooperative Fertilizer Purchasing association has placed its order for a carload of fertilizer. By purchasing in carload lots for -cash, the members of this association will save about $4 per ton on their fertili- zers for this year. It is unfortunate that Mr, Kennedy could not get at this work earlier, and have several of these cooperative pur- chasing demonstrations. Probably the biggest and most important work of the county agent here is the organiz- ing of the farmers, mot only for pur- chasing fertilizer, but grain, seeds, and even machinery, and other supplies, and also in selling farm produce. Mr. Kennedy's plan for organizing such cooperative association is to get a number of farmers in one commu- nity, having a common interest, know- ing each other well, having confidence in one another, and all willing to work for the good of the community, as well as for personal gain, to, form a co- operative association. These associations afe to be small and local in their nature, and are to care for the interests of the one com- munity in which they are formed. From among the men cooperating, the officers of the association shall be chosen. These officers shall transact the association’s business, or they may elect another member to the -position of business manager, or a purchasing or selling agent may be elected to do the business. This agent may well be a local dealer if he can be persuaded to come into the association, and if he has the confidence of the members .of the association. The local business man can usually handle the business of such an association much more sat- isfactorily than can one of the farm- ers, because of his business experience. He should be given either a small sal- ary or a percentage on the business he may do for the associationfi to pay him for his time, trouble, the use of ‘nis buildings, equipment, storage fa- cilities, ete. It has been the history of coopera- tion, wherever tried, that such small, independent societies which have paid efficient management are the ones which succeed. Those-that fail, fail largely because of poor management. The manager is, then, very important, and he should be weil paid for doing efficient work. Another essential to success in cooperation is loyalty. Un- Jess the members are loyal to the as- sociation and are willing to accept what are apparently temporary losses in order that the association may live, 2 cooperative association should nof be organized. Members must stick to their organization through thick and thin. It will benefit them in the end. There must be considerable material to be handled cooperatively to make a Worcester caterer. Mr. and Mrs. Holehouse left during the evening .on their wedding trip, FITCHBURG GREEK ARRESTED. George Faulkos Had $tolen Jewelry in His Boarding Place, George Faulkos, a young Greek, was taken back to Fitchburg by an officer from that eity who came here Wed- nesday morning to get Faulkos to an- swer to a charge of having stolen two .gold -‘watches, chaing and other jewelry m the peeple with whom he had been boarding in that city. Faulkos ‘was picked up here by Officer Thomas Marlowe on instructions from Pros- ecuting Attorney Arthur G. Bill, who had received a description of Faulkos from Fitchburg, this information being furnished in expectation of the ap- pearance of the young man here, ‘When arrested Faulkos confessed and sald he had pawned the jewelry in | Boston. He agreed to retwn to Mass- achusetts without extradition papers. Faulko: ha({i been ;1“ Da.hnieluon only a very short time when he was located and picked up, e —_— GIVEN 120 DAYS. Charles ‘Bloeminburg, Arrested Once in New London, Stole Much Mstal.

To attempt to handle any commodity in smaller <quantities will not amount to any more Bloominburg got away with a lot of babbit metal, which he secured by breaking out a window in a depart- ment of the Killingly Manufacturing company’s plant at Williamsville and elsewhere secured a quantity of lead pipe. He sold the metal to Max Le- vine, a junk man, for two cents a pound, which was only a small per- centage of its Teal value. Bloominburg was -arrested once in New London for breaking intoa freight station and received a jail sentence. He denied this when first questioned about it in court, but later admitted the fact. Lavine ‘was also 4n court, charged with receiving stolen goods. He de- nied knowledge of the method by which Bloominburg came into posses- sion of the metal in question. The cas against him was continued during good behavior, upon his pevment of offi- cer's fees. Officers of Memorial ‘Association. The following are the newly elected officers of the Dayville Memorial asso- <ciation: President, W, P. Kelley; vice president, Judge Sabin S, Russell; sec- retary and treasurer, W. Dyke Cogs- well. Committees of the association will arrange for an observance of Me- morial day.

Separato | organizations should handle the buy- ing, and the selling of the community. Cooperative associations should be in- corporated under the laws-of the state. Those interested in cooperation should read the Bulletin on The Farm.- ers’ Cooperative Exchange, by Dr. Al- exander E. Cance, of the Massachu- setts Agricultural college. Copies of this may be obtained through County Agent W. C. Kennedy, by writing to him at Putnam, ‘The tent caterpillar is out in all his glory. Farmers should take the time and trouble :to rid themselves of this pest. Spray with 3 pounds of arsenate of lead to 50 gallons of water. Do not attempt to burn the mests. Injury to the tree will result -and the cater- pillar when he feels the heat will drop to the ground, usually before he is se- verely injured. Another #way to get them is to wind the end of a pole with a small bundle of rags. Soak this in kerosene and swab the nests off the trees. A little kerosene coming in contact with the caterpillar will fix him, even if he is not crushed when the nest is wiped out. The secretary of the state board of agriculture, L. B. Healey, has issued a notice that the brown tail moth has appeared in this county. This must be checked at once, or it will not only became a serious pest on most all trees and plants, but will endanger the health of the people. Just a few of the brown heirs from the insect com- ing in contact with the skin will, in many cases, set up an inflammation that may require medieal attendance. Let us destroy these pests before they become established in Windham coun- ty. Mr, Kennedv will be in his office, as usual, Saturday, May 1st, and will be glad to get in touch with anyone whom he may help in any way. Equal Suffrage Notes. ‘The board of directors of the Put- nam Equal Franchise league met Mon- day evening at the home of the pres- ident, Mrs. W. J. Bartlett, to discuss plans for the work of the league dur- ing the coming month. Tuesday eve- ning, May 4th, is the date set for the meeting of the league. Later a dance will be given under the auspices of the league. Suffrage day—the first Saturday in May, this year May lst—has now be- come a well estabiished institution. This year the celebrations are to be concentrated in the states where pop- ular campaigns are on; where votes will be taken in the fall on constitu- tional amendments. As there will be no parade in Hartford this year, Con- necticut women are going in large numbers to the demonstrations in New York and Boston. Miss Emily Pierson and Miss Aylse Gregory, orgapizeds for the Connecti- cut Suffrage "association, will spend the summer working for suffrage in the campaign states. They are now in New Jersey, for New Jersey will be the first state to vote on the suf- frage amendment which has passed three legislatures. The special elec- tion on the suffrage question will be held October 19th, and Miss Pierson reports that all the workers are count- ing confidently on the success of the measure.
