BEST PEOPLE ON EARTH Score Success with Annual Charity Ball—Many Visiting Elks. The annual Charity ball under the auspices of Putnam lodge of Elks was held in Union hall Thursday evening and was a brilliant affair, reaching up to the standard that always has been maintained. Members of e lodg and their ladies from Danielson, Web- ster, Pomfret and other surrounding towns were present to join with the Putnam people in enjoying one of the happfest events of the season. The hall was very prettily dec. rated, the colors being purple and white. At each side of the stage were Elks' heads, the tips of each prong of the antlets illuminated by a tiny electric bulbs. An Elks’ clock, with an electrically .illuminated face, was suspended over the center of the stage which was banked with palms and ferns.

Leuctner The Cooperative Extension school at South Woodstock will open at 9 a. m. Tuesday, January 18. The teachers will be men from the Connecticut Agricultural College Extension service and the pupils will be the farmers of northern Windham county. The com- mittees in charge of this school for the farmers are: Chairman, L. H. Healey; vice chair- man, E. E. Brown; secretary, George H. Hamilton; committee on advertis- ing and membership, F. K. Haines, chairman; H. R. Hurlbut, S. H. Peck- ham: committee on arrangements, W. C. Child, J. F. Prehn; committee on entertainment, J. F. Prehn, Mr. Erick- son. The subjects which the Windham county farmers have asked to be giv- en ars Solls and Crops, Dairying, Poultry. New for Connecticut. A school of this kind is new in Con- necticut, the Woodstock school be- ing the second to be held in the state. The first has just closed at Preston City, in New London county. The fol- lowing is taken from an account of the school written by the local chair- man. of the school for the Norwich Bulletin of January 8th, regarding the last day’s session: First at Preston City. “The extension school at Preston City was bro%ght to a close Friday with a record attendance. The 75 present were about equally divided be- tween the men’s and women’s depart- ments. In the men's department the morning programme opened at 10 o'clock when Benjamin C. Southwick gave a lecture on Legume Crops. “Mr. Southwick showed that per- manent mowing should only be main- tained on heavy, moist soil. Grass re- quires nitrogen and clovers thrive on phospheric acid and potash. To dressing should be applied only in the spring and on fields where the soil is not run out. There was a d! cuasion on the variety of ensilage corn ‘and_corn for grain. “Karl B. Musser of Storrs college then took the school to the dairy barn of N. H. Hall, where all spent an in- teresting two hours in scoring a dairy cow. “The league crops ‘were taken up the Danielson Trust Co.;t reasurer, Kent A. Darbie, house !lunhhlnfiu. Directors—A. W.

Those who came the first » both men and ‘women, continued through the course, almost without exception, and daily, as the people learned what excellent lectures and demo lons were be- ing given, the attendance increased. Conducted in College Style. “The school has been conducted in regular college style with one hour lecture pediod-and two hours for dem- onstrations, both the men’s and wom- en's departments have had blackboard facilities and there was on exhibi- tion samples of all the dairy foods, chemicals used in mixing fertilizer formulaes, several wvarieties of lime and varieties of seeds. The school also brought a library for use by those wishing, containing forty of the west s on agricultural and home ecenomics subjects. The typewritten outlines which were passed around before each lecture were a most help- ful feature and were kept by every- one and taken home to be put on file where they will doubtless be referred to as occasion' demands. The con- stant - Interruption of the professors by -questions from the audience was proof conclusive of the great interest.

C. has been the moving spirit the first and deserves a great deal of credit for the success of the school. ~*# * * The attendance to- talled 266 for the four days. “The three subjects, Dairying, Soils and Crops, and Poultry in the men's department and the various subjects in the women's department, were of great interest to all. Karl B. Mus- sér, extension dairyman, handled the first subject; Prof. B. G. Southwick, assistant professor of agronomy, cov- ered the second subject; Roy E. Jones, extension poultryman, handled the poultry and Miss Maud E. Hayes, pro- fessor home economics, assisted by Miss Hallock, conducted the home- makers’ course.” The rest of the article goes into detail regarding these courses and the different points brought out in the discussions; in shgrt, a brief outline of each course, and the way it was handled by the men in_charge. With the able and efficient officers and committeemen in charge of the| school at Woodstock, and the hearty cooperation of the state college, this school should at least equal the rec- ord of suocess made by the first ex- tension school in agriculture held in Cnnecticut.

Rest For Old-Time Printer and ‘E tor, After 80 Years at the Cas Alexander W. Macdonald, editor and one of the proprietors of the Putnam Patriot, and probably the oldest print- er and newspaper man in the United States, died at his home in Punam, day at 10.830 a. m. in the 94th ;‘:z‘:no!

Tribure, and was one of a number of young men connected with papers on Newspaper Row whom Mr. Greeley in- duced to pur¢hase house lots and build homes in Mount Vernon, which was then a wilderness. He drifted to the middle west and was connected with newspapers in St. Paul, St. Louis angd other cities. But éventually he returned to New York and there, with a partner, founded the Scientific American. Subsequently the paper was sold to Munn & Company and Mr. Macdonald remained with the publication as head of the composing room. In 1882 Mr. Macdonald purchased the Putnam Patriot, a weekly newspaper in Putnam, and continued as its edi- tor up to his 90th year when he sus- tained a shock which incapacitated him from further active work. After a few years as the editor and proprie- tor /of the Patriot he took in L. O. Williams, his foreman, as a partner and the business has since been con- ducted under the firm name of Mac- donald & Williams. After Mr. Macdonald had made ar- rangements for taking over the Pa- triot he started for Mount Vermon for his family and the night that he was on the way Union Block, the building in which his plant was located, was totally destroyed by fire. Undaunted by this loss he returned and imme- diately purchased the outfitting of a new plant and the publication came out the following Wi although somewhat reduced in size. The sec- ond issue was gotten out in the usual form. Mr. Macdonald remained at the case until he was stricken, setting his edi- torials without notes or copy. He was decidedly reticent about Mngm:i himself and his past life, but time to time let drop some experience that denoted an interesting career. He ‘was approached in his later years seve eral times by metropolitan newspa- press associations who attempted to interview him, but he alwavs walved them aside good naturedly.
