LOCAL DIARIES ARE INSPECTED
A Pretty VieW-MiIk Goes to Conden- sary-Former Resident Dead-Dep- uty Sheriff for Falls ViIlage-White- wash Brigade Comes to Town
A VIEW

One of the prettiest views to be had in Falls Village is that which the land scape admired land that includes about all of us) may inspect from the depot platform, looking west. Here, laid be- fore him or her, in motley array, are wooded hills, hills without wood, pro- ductive fields, the majestic Housatonic, cozy residences, winding highways, and all the other fixin' of nature that go to make up scene that holds the locker spellbouud Tn awe and admiration. This may sound somewhat "highfalutin" but it's right nevertheless. Go out on the aforesaid depot platform some day when you re waiting for the train and you'll be ready to substantiate anything anyone will say about this being pretty scene. Better go there some day when you're waiting for the milk train as you will then be sure of having plenty of time to look over this landscape and half dozen others if you desire, before the train arrives. As we read what we've thus far managed to say about this view, we are reminded of some Of the references the city paragraphers, who have been turned out to pasture ln the country for a week or two, have made to landscapes that are not to be men, tioned in the same week with the one we've been telling you about. Their wooded hills didn't contain enough timber to build hen coup, the produc- tive fields wouldn't raise anything ex- cept disturbance, their cozy cottages were lot of old, weather-beaten shacks that hadn't seen shingle or paint brush in years, the winding highways were so narrow that one team could hardly get through. let alone passing an- other team or a benzine cart, and the sand was inches deep, the ''babbllng brooks in which the speckled beauty has his '.lair' could be stepped across anywhere and along ill the middle of the summer didn contain water enough to quench the thirst of sparrow. The real situation rather takes the poetry out of some of those. city-boarder de- criptions because the majority Of them pick out something that isn't worth de- scribing. If they'd. tackle something like this depot view, start in to describe 1t and do good job, 1t would be some thing worth while.
 DIARIES INSPECTED
 An inspector from the New York City Board of Health was i'll town last week examining the dairies from which milk is furnished to the Borden plant at Lime Rock. In the main he found things satisfactory although there were some instances where he insisted on more stable space for the COWS, better yen- tilation, etc., if the owners were to con tinue the sale of milk. The Board of Health requirements are considered too rigid by some farmers but Is Is claimed experience has demonstrated tha all are absolutely necessary in order to insure pure milk supply.
