The Patrons’ Exchange. The report on the Patrons’ Exchange, H. G. Manchester. chairman, was given by A. C. Grady, who said: On account of the iliness of H. G. Manchester, which necessitated ab- sence from his office the first three 31, months of the vear, the business has; decreased. The high cost of grain also may have partly been the cause of the decrease in sales of carload lots. We did not sent out price lists of fertilizers and seeds until later than usual. Patrons’ Exchange — Inve gross on hand: One tedder. $26.93: one separator, $57.73: total. $34.71. Cash on hand, $359.24: bi receivable, $74.21; biils payable. $41.03 The receipts for 1916 were $4.055.49 and the expenses were $4,052.23. Re- ceipts from cars of grain, $34220.17: payments for cars of grain, $24,220.17. We believe that the exchange would have had a much better vear with more business had it not been for the manager's illness, as he was unable to carry on any business whatsoever. National Farm Loan Associations. M. E. Broderick, past master of En- fleld grange, spoke on the National Farm Loan association. In part. Past Master Broderick sald: A national farm loan association may be orsanized in any communit: where ten citizens owning land de- sire to borrow an azgresate of not less than $20,000. The land must be unin- cumbered or the proceeds of the loan must be used, in part, to remove any lien. Loans may be as small as $100 or as large as $10,000. They must first make application, In writing, for a charter to the federal land bank of the district in which the association desires to do business. This application must be signed by all those Gesiring to form the association, stat- ing specifically the name under which thy desire to do business, the amount each one desires to borrow, the ecsti- mated value of the security each one offers, the territory in which the asso- clation desires to do business, how the proceeds of the loan pre to be used, and other detalls set fort hin the Hank forms which are furnished. The application having been signed, together with another blank form fur- nished, called an organization certifi- cate, the applicants become a tenta- tive' organization and elect an agent to represent them, called a secretary- treasurer; they also select a commit- tee of three, c~'~7 - ‘nan committee. ‘zent will then recelve from ex of the applicants « -u.-cription to the stock of the association_they are for: Strouse. The hymn My Faith Looks Up to Thee was sung. Reports of the secretary and treasurer were read and accepted. also the yearly - reports of all_offcers.

Davis; treasurer, Mrs. Carrie Park; collectors, Mrs. Grace Willey, Mrs. Carrie Park, Mrs. Mary Doibeare, Mrs. Minnie Amburn, Mrs. John Par- sons. Papers were read by Mrs. Gilcarist, Mrs. Jacob Starkweather, Mrs. Strouse, Mrs. Dolbeare, Mrs. Howard reading the monthly jetter. The yeariy re- ports indicated a very satisfactory condition of the circle. WITHDRAWN FROM COURT. Damage Action Brought by Bozrah Man Against Railroad is Settled. Tha $750 damage action brought by illiam ‘M. Tibbetts of Bozrah against the Central Vermont rafiroad has been settled and on Wednesday was with- drawn from the superior court docket without costs to either party. In the complaint it was alleged that a:loco- motive operated by the Central Ver- mont railroad set fire to grass on mow- ing land occupying about 17 acres and owned by the plaintiff, destroying the grass and a barn on the property. ing equal to 6 per cent. of the loan they severally desire, which is not re quired to be paid unless the loan is granted. That is. each borrower must subscribe for such stock to the amount of 5 per cent. of his own loan and no more. The application for the charter hav- ing been signed, the signatures must be acknowledzed before a notary pub- lic or other‘officer qualified to admin- ister oaths, and then it must be for- warded by’ the secretary-treasurer to the federal land bank of the district. Upon its receipt the bank will send its agent to examine into the repre- sentations made in the application, and, if found eatisfactory, a charter will be granted. Upon the granting of the charter, the individuals signing the applica- tion become a body corporate, which gives it the right to do the business authorized by the farm loan act, to extend its benefits to others by taking in new members from time to time, and to have succession indefinitely. Tew members must be borrowers whose loans may be as emall as $100 or_as large as $10,000. Let it be plainly understood that farmers can organize at once, but they lished. = After the charter is granted the ap- plicants no longer act in their indi- vidual ‘become letes a three day hgou of busbandey 3 assembled here and by the 1 in the evening when a class of 180 were ntory of | been choser and set forth in the oriz- inal application and organization_ cer- tincate.

These associations are organized for the primary-purpose of giving to each borrower the beuefit of the combined credit of all its members to the extent of the capital contributed and the lim- ited imbilizy they each incur, and hence the associations are required to indorse every loan made to membe?s. It is also through these associations that the borrowers will ultimately be- come the owners of the federal land banks. The asscclation decides wheth- er any loan shall be made or not by refusing the application for every ioan which is considered unsafe or even doubtful. No loan can be made unless it is approved by the loan committee after examinatlon of the land oltered as_security. The national farm loan associations are not limited as to the number of their members. After one Is organized it may serve an entire neighborhoot by receiving new members. Fach as sociation may obtain in loans for its members 20 times the amount of its stock in the federal land bask, no matter how large its holdings of stock may béecome by the growth of the as- sociation. National Lecturer Chapman Spoke. The attendance at the afternoon ses- sion was very large. The town hall was taxed to its utmost seating ca- pacity and a number were forced to stand. Edward E. Chapman, lecturer of the National Grange, spoke _briefly on matters pertaining to lecturers at a short lecturers’ conference. Following the conference the meeting was thrown open to the public and a very entertaining prosramme was given as follows: Selection ... Ohch: Solo . et % Chapman Solo . S L.

He said he was not engaged in farm- ing at the present time but that he was brought up on a farm and is sdll interested in farms, fertilizers, fruits, care of trees and resurcitation of old orchards. I am interested in another kind of pruning and spraying and developing of character. In our vocational school we give a £00d educal along with practical work. In the girls' department they begin with the simplified work and at the end of three years the girl is oble to make all the gowns that she wears. They are taught by degrees and at the end of the course they are full fledg- ed dressmakers. In domestic syrnce we teach the girls cooking, canning.c| and also take up chemistry food. When | a girl gmduates she is able to take care of 2 home. The boys start the first year in me- chanical drawing, drafting and wood work. The next half year is devoted to wood turning, forging and too! mak- | =. The third year is devoted to! machine work practive and the build- | ing of machines and motors. When a boy graduates he is worth something and finds ready emplovment. = Our| eraduates go to machine shops and drafting departments. If a boy or girl can't appreciate s £00d_book. magazine or sermon, they are not broadening their minds. They are frozen in onme form: so we have started and developed an academic de- vartment.

Hine of Derby President of the Patrons’ Exchange. tion to State Legislature Today. The special committee, consisting of State Senators Benjamin H. Hewitt of Mystic, L. E. Whiton of New London and John H. Barnes of Norwich, ap- pointed at a county meeting several | weeks ago to investigate the matter of a new bridge over the Nlantic river, will present a petition to the state legislature today (Thursday) asking the position of the state in the mat- ter. Several months ago the war depart- ment of the United States government ordered t the bridge over the Ni- antic river be replaced by a modern, up-to-date structure. It specified that the bridge must be completed by Dec- The county officials took the matter under coneideration and sesured plane and estimates from New ' York archi. tects involving an expenditure of $57,000 for the erection of the new bridge. Unless the state assumes a portion of the expense, the cost of the bridge will devolve upon the towns. A meeting of the county officials at which the senators, representatives and county commiesioners were pres- ent was held in this city some time ago and the committee consisting of the senators from this county were appointed a committee to investigate the matter. Now the committes is to present a petition to the siate legislature to as- certain the attitude of the state re- sarding the construction of the bridge. It is probable that the petition will recommend different plans than the present ones for the bridge involying o smaller expenditure than $87,000. SUSPECT TWO MEN WERE AFTER PAY BAG Followed Army Officers Who Were Carrying $60,000. But for the fact that a patrolman followed them, it is believed that two unknown men would have attempted a holdup on a lleutenant and a provost sergeant from Fort H. G. Wright, who carried between them a package con- taining $60.000, the monthly payroll at the island fortifications. The pack- age of bills arrived in New London via Adams Express and the military men started to carry it along Water street to_the government transport. The patrolman, who desired that his name be not mentioned, watched them depart and as they passed the corner of Atlantic street. he saw two men, strangers in the city, step from around the corner and follow closely in the wake of the officers. The member Of the police department decided it was time for him to take a hand and he joined the procession. At the entrance to ths government pier, the strangers were right on the heels of the pair with the money when they turned and saw the policeman. They stopped shott and_gazed intent- Iy out on the horizon. The men from Fort Wright also turned at the same time and they needed bu‘ a glance to comprehend the danger in which they had been placed. They were warm in their thanks to the patrclman and while there was no direct evidence on which to hold the strangers,” the patrolman = rned them that their presence in New London was nnde- sirable and advised them to move else- where before he saw them again.
