Changers in Session
at Grafton.
THE POULTRY SHOW
Fine Exhibit of All Kinds
of Fowls.

Grafton, March 22-An all-day SEES
sion of Worcester County Pomona
Grange was held in the town hall here
today. The morning session was occu
pied by a paper on Scientific and prac-
teal farming" by Arthur Nourse OF
Westboro, followed by a discussion in
which A. A. GoodeA of Sutton, Sllas E.
Stowe of Grafton, J. r. Williams OF
East Douglas, o. b. Hadwen of Wor-
cester and George L. Stowe of Millbury
took part. The morning session was
private, being for grangers especially
A bounteous spread was set in the
lower town hall at noon to which liz
sat down.
The feature of the afternoon session
was an address by Elmer ID. Howe OF
MARLBORO, past master of the state
grange, who took as his subject the
question, "Is the business farmer grad
uated from the agricultural college ?''
Mr.. Howe favored the negative and
said that it was well known fact that
a large number of the sons of the far
merS of today were not in any way fit
ted TO enter upon and complete a col
Iege course extending over four or five
years.
He summed uD the success of farm
ing as being due more to the energy of
the rising generation and the advice of
the older heads than to anything else
An agricultural college, in his opin-
ION, is more of an industrial school and
is intended for industrial classes more
than for the farmer who is to gain his
way in the world by the sole profits of
his chosen vocation.
S. A. Burgess of Worcester followed
with remarks upon the evil. of negli-
gence in instructing the farmers of the
coming generation, and impressed EN-
phatically the need of more attention
to this subject in the home.
A. A. Goodell of Sutton read a re-
vised Star spangled banner" which
brought forth expressions of amuse-
ment from the audience. William r.
Herrick was the wit of the hour. and
sang in a talented manner How RUBY
played the piano"
About $50 were present at the after
noon session.

MAKES FOES.
Mayor PIunkett's Veto Loses
Him Friends.

Marlboro March 22.-The action o.
Mayor Plunkett in vetoing the order
passed by both branches Of the city
council, granting the free use Of thf
city hall for four successive Sundays
has occasioned no end Of discussion
since the fact became known.
Mayor Plunkett has had the mos
difficult problems confronting hin
since his induction into office. The
strike has been the source of all his
troubles, for no matter what turns III
he is bound to make enemies.
That he has made some in vetoine
this order is very evident. Many Of
the strikers are greatly incensed at his
action, and say. he will have cause t
remember it. There are many others
however, who commend him for thu
stand he has taken. They say that NJ
other course was open to him after the
attacks made upon him. The votes he
viii! lose in one direction, if he should
be again a candidate for office, they
assert, will be counterbalanced by sup.
port he will gain from other directions
The most noteworthy criticism o.
Mayor Plunkett made at any of tbs
mass meetings was that Of Mayor
Chase of Haverhill, who spoke las
Sunday in the city hall. Mayor Chase
is the socialist democrat executive Of
Haverhill, and took occasion to criti
else Marlboro's mayor from a labol
standpoint.
Harry Lloyd Of Boston, who was ont
Of the speakers at rally held II
Mayor Plunketts interest the night be
fore the city election, is another mar
who has spoken in public, criticlsinl
Marlboro's mayor, saying that n
would come back to Marlboro next yea
and undo the wrong he had done.
Friends Of Mayor Plunkett have beef
greatly incensed at such ptterances
and say It Is about time that speaker
from abroad cease abusing citizens o
Marlboro in hall givrl at the expens
of the city.

The termination of the Lawson New

morning for the championship Of Wor-
cester county and $50 in cash, was not
greeted with especial gladness of heart
by those who had backed the losing
man, but considering the prospect
which was presented at the close of the
first four games the final result Of 3
to 2 and seven draws was not looked
upon as being the poorest score the To-
cal favorite might have made.

Millbury, March 22.-J c. Fairman of
Providence, r. l., was in town today
looking for his brother, H. H Fairman
whom he said was employed by c. E.
Brazors. He said that there was a
large estate left to him by the death of
friend, and 1t was necessary that the
matter be looked after at once.
After considerable trouble, he located
ms brother at the Hastings place, near
the Grafton line, where he is employed
putting in the strip of macadam road
Joining the Worcester strip to the Graf
ION road. Mr.. Fairman, accompanied
by his brother, left tonight for their
nome in Providence.
The portion of state road that Mill
Dlury is to have the coming year is from
the Worcester line to the Grafton line,
Scross that triangular portion of Mill
pury which has caused so much trouble
10 Mtllbury citizens during the past few
years. The road will be of no particular
oenefit to the citizens of this town, and
as Mlllbury pays it's share Of tax to the
state, 1t is the general opinion that the
people should get something in return
