Huntington People
 Scored Macdonald
Resolution Attesting Utter Lack of Confidence in Him
 Is Unanimously Passed
SeIectmen Asserted Inability to Learn Anything Definite from Him-VOte Work at South End Partial Cause Voted to Sell Centre School.

The special town meeting held in Huntington, Friday evening, was one of the most representative gatherings of the taxpayers that has met in 6 long time. All classes of taxpayers were represented from the large prop erty holder to the man who simply pays his board, and strange to say they seemed to be all united on one subject at least, and that was the absolute lack of confidence in State Highway Commissioner J. H. Mac donald The call for the meeting an nOunced the object to be considered of the proposal to make an appro- prtation for improvement of some section or sections of the highways.
 J. A. Birge asked permission to in troduce the following resolution:
 Having no confidence in the Judg- ment of the State Highway Comnis- sioner to spend our money, therefore be it resolved that we do not make an appropriat ton for the construction or provision of an act entitled. An Act to Improve the Public Roads and its am mendmentS."
 Chairman Wakelee said he would like to hear from the selectmen as he had been told they knew what the commissioner planned for this sec ton, and Town Agent Allen stated that he had tried to get some definite assurance from the highway commis- sioners office but had utterly failed so to do. When the motion was put 1t was carried without a single dis Senting vote.

In the future the crews ofs trolley cars of the Connecticut Company can not carry private letters and messages from point to point along their routes unless the persons desiring to have these uneSsa ges transmitted have per mission from the superintendent of the division over which they send them-
 Newspapers have been getting their news letters from towns near Bridge port in that way for years A cor respondent gives his news letter to the conductor of a car coming into Bridge port, and the car is met by a mes senger to take the letter. It has been a quick means of transmitting letters. Other individuals have learned the trick, and the business of the conduc- tors in this line has ebeen growing. A new rule has been posted for con ductors who get mesSa ges of that kind to report to the superintendent. A list will be made of those from whom they may receive such nessa ges, and the accommodation will be restricted to business concerns only.

SILOS REDUCE COST OF
FEEDING CATTLE ONE-THIRD

Agricultural College, Jackson, Miss,
Dec. 6.-The increasing demand for
knowledge along dairying lines has
forced an additional man for South
Mississippi, who is giving his entire
time to the work. Mr. L. A. Higgins of
South Mississippi is carrying the mes
sage of better dairying methods
throughout the southern part of the
state, and is demonstrating to the
Southern farmer what a COW will do
when kept fed properly. 1t is the show
me idea of the Boys Corn Club work
applied to the dairy business. When
one man in a community builds a silo
and gets a good herd and keeps them
in way to produce profit others will
do likewise.
| Since the work was started at
Brookhaven, March 5, 1912, twelve silos
have been built in five counties. Feed
ing from these silos has not yet begun
and no results of their feeding value
can be given at this time; but silos
previously built in Mississippi have
shown, under practical farm conditions
a reduction of practically one-third in
J the cost of feeding and an increase OF

resulted in the institution of profit
able dairy business. When the work
was begun a few cows on the farm
were being MIXED once day and
turned with the calves and nothing sold
from them. In July, at my suggestion,
the COWS were separated from the
calves and put in the barn and fed.
The gross returns from milk sold dur
ing August was about twelve dollars.
In October the net returns from the
COWS kept was about one hundred and
five dollars. From the herd four I'M
profitable COWS have been sold
At Magnolia a demonstration herd
has been put in and a modern barn
and silo erected for the benefit of the
community. To show the interest in
keeping COWS is increasing, merchant
in Magnolia has recently sold seven
cream separators in the vicinity.
