HIGH SCHOOL INTERESTS Rejoicing Over Grosvenordale tory — Debate — Girl Season to Open Friday. Vie- Basketball The way the five from the local school handled Tourtellote at Gros- venordale last Friday makes the hearts of the local fans and fannettes beat with joy. It was a league game too, and Putnam won, 65-36. Next Wednesday Putnam will meet her old rival—Klillingly. These two teams have not met for two years but both are anxious to get at each other again. This, too, is a league game and it is a fact that both teams will be on their toes from the first whistle. One feature of the basketball league is the way in which the umpiring is to be done, instead of as in past sea- scons when any man the local man- agement wished acted as umpire. There has been one man appointed from each school. These umpires do not referee games in the town from which they are appointed but work in some other schools. Mr. Packard and Malcolm Willey were in Norwich Saturday attending @ meeting of the Eastern Connecticut Baseball league at the Norwich Free Academy. All of the schools that en- tered last year are to continue as members for this coming season and Choirs of all the churches are re- hearsing music for the Christmas ser- vices. The coves and some of the upper reaches of the Assawaga river are frozen over for the first time this sea- son, but are not safe for skating. Punch Boards Must Go. Officfals will make another effort to rid Danielson of punch boards, which it is said are belng operated again in a few places in town. Holiday Attractions Planned. At the meeting of the Business Men's association Tuesday evening plans were discussed for making the holiday season in Danielson such as to attract many out of town buyers here. A date next week has been selected by tho Windham County National bank for paying out several thousand dollars to members who have been placing weekly accounts in a Christmas club during 1915. Two more large audiences were at the Orpheum theater Tuesday to see The Birth of a Nation, which is gen- Killingly is to enter the northern di- erally praised and appreciated here as | Vision.

Hugh Kinder ¢f Norwich may be en- gaged as the director of the senior choir of St. James' church. This has unot been definitely decided, but a num- ber of the choir are favorable to the plan. To Open Season with Bartlett H. S. Members of the Killingly High school team will have fast and hard final practice in preparation for their opening game of the league season Friday evening here with the Bartlett High school team of Webster, one of the fastest in the league. Played Game at Mystic. Sidney P. Marland, Paul Swaffleld, George Kent, John Marland, John O'Neil and Ray Wood were at Mystic Tuesday evening to play their first game as a town basketball team with the Mystic five. The Jlocal plavers made the trip in an automobile. Motion pictures thrown on screens suspended from the sides of buildings in the business section, band concerts, fireworks and special street illumina- tion are some of the things suggested to the Business Men's association for attractions here during the holiday season. should be no midyear or final examin- ations. The judges were Miss Pierce, Miss Lewis ,and Miss Bowler. They decided In favor of the negative. The girls’ basketbali season opens Friday afternoon, when the Putnam girls play the Willimantic girls in the P. H. S. gymnasium. A poster (by request of the New York, New Haven & Hartford rail- road) has been put on the High school bulletin board. This poster tells of the large loss of life because of trespassing on railroads, it warned people not to trespass on railroad pjroperty and to thing of their lives before their convenience. COUNTY AGENT'S REPORT Total of 355 Farm Vi Letters Sent Meetings Held. its Made—1,251 Out — Seventy-five The following excerpts are from the annual report of County Agent W. C. Kennedy: I began work March 19, 1915. I wa's attending the Massachusetts Ag- ricultural College at the time, but was able to make arrangements with the College authorities which enabled me to work four days a week and attend college two days a week, until my graduation in June. Since returning from thé& commencement exercises on June 16th, I have given all my time to_the work as county agent. I have made 355 farm visits, at the request of farmers who wanted to talk over some phase of their farm business. These visits average over two for every working day that I have been on the job. 280 called at the office at Putnam, and 246 have reached the office by telephone to ask questions or to arrange for a personal visit to their farms. I have sent out a total of 1,251 letters, 519 of which were circular letters containing re- ports of the county agent, newspaper articles, material of general interest or timely topics; and 732 have been per- 'sonal letters relating to the business of the farmer’'s Association, I have sent out 126 newspaper articles. Sev- nty-five meetings have been held in cooperation with or have been ad- dressed by the county agent. The at- tendance at these meeting was 16,287. It is only fair to state here that this number includes an estimate of th number reached at the two fairs in the county, either personally, or by the exhibits representing the Wind- ham County Farmers’ Association which I had there. The average at- tendance at the meetings has been between thirty and forty, not includ- ing the number reached at the fail which would make the average aj pear to be over a hundred. I have travelled 6,556 miles, 401 by railroad anr 6075 by other conveyances. I prepared an educational exhibit for the fairs in Windham county. From the start my work has been o SRS, (R, 11558, A SRR S8 B L S0 20, S A A ¢ THE HUNTERS’ SIDE. They Have Some Rights, After Pay- ing the State for a License. After reading “A’'s” letter to the editor of The Bulletin in Tuesday's issue some local sportsmen were in- clined to start a campaign of letter writing intended to demonstrate to “A” that they may have some rights in protected game:; otherwise, they say, why does the state take the money we pay for hunting licenses to meet the cost of raising partridges, quail and pheasants to turn loose on A’'s and B's farms? So that A and B may claim this game as exclusively their own? They emphatically put a foot down on the proposition that all wild game on farms should belong to the men who own or manage farms. Not so long as we help pay, for it, they declare. “A,” said one of these ob- jectors, is one of the type that would claim the earth if he could get away with it, even though ke knew right well when making the claim that you had helped pay for it and he hadn't a nickel invested in the funny old sphere. It was pointed out by another sports- man who was somewhat riled by what he termed the narrowness of “A's” let- ter that any damaging trespass on any farmer’s land is now punishable un- der the laws of the state. No man may hunt under the present laws dur- ing the open season, he pointed out, |Put on a project basts; that is, a if the owner of the land objects, and |definite program has been outlined declared “A’s” suggestions about writ- |and followed as far as possible ten permit—all poppycock. On, it's a fine proposition, this hunt- ing wild game wrangle. A correspon- dent who listens to the controversies that it stirs up and knows the space that is demanded in the public prints by those who want to argue it pro and con is apt to be somewhat busy. in any case. The farmers rightfully object to them on account of the in- jury they do and the hunters swear about them because the hunters’ dogs will very often inmsist on following their trail when they are expected to pay for their board by following rab- bits, foxes, coons, or other game, spoiling an outing for the hunters, who have no right to shoot the deer. And that last is the crux of the whole sit- uation. The deer in this county are mighty unpopular just at' this time and are get scarcer, legally and ille- gally, it 1s sald, as a result.

The increase has been continual and material since that time. every line undertaken. These projects are as follows: Farm Management, Dairy Improvement, Orchard Improvement, Boys' and Girls’ Clubs and Cooperation. I will report on each one separately: Farm Management. Fifty-four farm surveys have been taken, with the help and cooperation of H. F. Keyes, then at the Connec- ticut Agricultural college, and Mr. ‘Whelpton of the U. 8. ent of Agriculture. These surveys consist of taking a complete record for one year of the farm business. From this record of this business we can tell what part of his business is paying a profit and what is not, and we can suggest ways of stopping whatever losses are occurring. From a number of such records we can get a pretty good idea of the type of farming (Continued on Page Three) —_— A. F. WOOD “The Local Undertaker” DANIELSON, CONN. Parlors 8 Mechanic Street
