TIE WITH KEENE MAY
NOT BE PLAYED OFF
No Chance Until Season Closes Unless
Three Games Are Played Monday
Standing May Decide.

At the meeting Of the directors of
the Twin State league To be held at
Bellows Falls tomorrow il is hoped bE
the fans Of Brattleboro that some ar
raneement Will be made for playing off
the tie game between Keene and Brat
tleboro. OWING to the arrangement of
the schedule il has been practically
impossible for the two teams to meet
since the game was played
The proposition has been made that
three games be played on Labor day,
one at Kcene in the morning as sched-
uled and two in the afternoon here. one
the regular game and the other the
plav-off Of the tie game, but this is
asking too much of the players.
There is no other chance to play the
game until after the close Of the sehed-
ule next Saturday, and if the play-off
would not effect the standing of any
team in the league, it is doubtful if it
is played. much rs local fans would
like to see the battle fought to a fin
ish.

q common experience that where ashes
are used clover Will come much bet

part to the high percentage Of lime
which the ashes contain.
To remedy the acidty in the soil and
give the clover a better chance. a
coat Of lime may be applied before

Some soils are more acid than others.

ISLAND PARK OFFERED
FOR COMING CONCERT
Management Would Give Free Use of
Grounds and Grand Stand-Legal
Question Thereby Involved
Editor Of The RefornIer:

Editor Of The Reformer:
On reading the comments in The Re
former of Friday Oh the band stand on
the common it occurs to Us that the
greatest objection to the common as 4
place to give band concerts, especially
on a special occasion like that Oh next
Tuesday evening Il the lack Of seats.
This deficiency prevents many people
from attending he concerts who would
he glad to 20, thereby depriving them
OF the pleasure which all citizens of the
village should have an opportunity To
enjoy.
Believing that everyone in Brattlc-
boro should make an earnest effort to
help encourage the neighborly inter
course between our town ana Green
field and that rs large a crowd as posi-
ble should attend the concert, we offer
the free use Of Island Park for the
evening.
The park is undoubtedly the most
conveniently located public place in or
near the village and has seating ca
p%city of about lSO0-I2OO under Gov
er. We believe that more people
could attend the concert if held at the
park than elsewhere, and for that rea-
son offer it freely and exclusively for
that purpose.

The public Will appreciate the offer
OF the Island park management and viii
agree with them that seating facilities
are greatly to he desired at band con
eerts. both rs a matter OF comfort and
convenience and to eliminate as far as
possible the constant moving about Of
persons who seem to regard the music
as secondary part Of their evening 5
enjoyment. There is this difficulty to
overcome, however: The resolution un-
der which the village appropriated
money for a series OF concerts bv the
I First Regiment band provided that the
concerts should be given in the same
places rs last year, which were within
the village limits. Whether going OUT
side for the coming concert would omen
the way to invalidate the vote of the
village appropriatiug the money is a
question upon which Village Attorney
o. b. Hughes declines to be quoted off
hand.
One way TO avoid raising the queS-
tion would be for the band to give its
services and not count the coming con
cert as one OF the series. Another way
would be to raise by subscription
enough to pay the band.

Intimate knowledge of Con-

Valuable
WILL RECEIVE
$4,000 ANNUALLY
He VIII Also Get Pay from Two Sub
sidiary Roads - President Elliott
Wanted Someone on Whom He Could
Rely for Information.

BOSTON, August 3O.-Dcspite the
statement issued by the New Haven
railroad that Charles $. NIcllcn, presi-
dent. would have no connection with
that road after today and would sim
ply give advice from time to time
to the new management as requested.
Mr.. Mellcn will have Il retainer of
100000 a year for a fve-vear period.
When Mr.. Mcllen resigned as prcsi-
dent ON July II and his resignation
was accepted, most of the directors
felt that the knowledge of conditions
which he had acquired would be very
valuable to the new president in the
future. Mr.. Nellen received a salary
of 100000 a year at one time and
this was afterwarl cut to 4jI 600 The
new president is to receive q salary
of $4,000, it is understood, which is
Il still further reduction. aud this pol
icy will be followed i'm the case of
other officers.
The retainer which is to be paid to
Mr.. Mellcu has already been provided
by members OF the executive commit
tee of the directors, and it is un-
derstood viii be given to him i'm a
lump sum. The directors of the com
pany felt that Mr.. Mcllcu was on
titled to this compensation because of
his knowledge not only of the com
prehensivc schemes which are to be
carried out by his successor. but of his
intimate knowledge of the detailed
transactions of the New Haven road.
1t was felt that Mr.. Elliott i'm taking
mp his new position. would require
some one upon whom he could rely for
such information.
Mr.. Elliot had fully considered this
matter with members of the executive
committee of the directors before he
accepted the position of president and
at the time of the directors meeting
in New York, Mr.. Elliott. who is an
old friend of Mr.. NIellen, arranged ia
secure the cooperation of his prcde
cessor in assuming his new duties.
Mr.. Mellcu not only receives a re
tainer from those interested in the
New Haven, but also Will receive the
equivalent Of three years salary a,

CREAMERIES ON
COOPERATIVE BASIS
Seven in Windham County-Of Great
Value to Farmers-Handle Eggs
Buy Grain for Patrons, Etc.

In Windham county we have seven
cooperative creameries, each of which
makes mp from few hundred to a
Thousand pounds Of butter a week
These ereamcries are Of great value TO
the farmers, as they furnish a ready
market for hay, silage and other rough
age which can be turned into cream bv
the dairy COW,
Some crc&meries are rendering a ser
vice to their patrons in other ways.
Eggs are brought to the creamery with
the cream or collected by the cream
gatherer on his regular rounds. The
advantage Of such a method is obvious.
The team goes to the creamery any
way-no extra trip has to he made.
The butter has to he carried to the
railroad and the eggs can be taken
along at the same time In manv cas-
es the parties who take the butter will
take the eggs, too, thus avoiding the
Necessity Of making out an extra bill.
1t would also mean 4 cash price and
possibly n better price, because with
50 many patrons a crate could be filled
in 4 short time and shipment made
very often. The F. lIolbrook creamery
IA Townsbend handles eggs to advan-
s.,@e iii this way.
One creamery buys grain co-opera-
ively for its patrons. 1t is ordered by
tho carload when it Is needed. and sold
out At cost price with nominal charge
of about five cents a bag for handling.
In this way the farmer gets the ad-
vantage of wholesale cash prices The
West River creamery nj South London
derry has this worked out very sue
cessfullv and sometimes two ears come
in each week. In this place it has
meant a considerable saving to the
farmer and no doubt has helped a
great deal in building up the creamery
/ from / patrons to 237 in five years
The side issues which can be easily
carried on by the organizations which
We already have formed and working
should he encouraged. \ creamery as
sociation can handle eggs just rs sue-
/ cessfuIlv as an egg shippers club, and
with less expense; and with grain the
same way. In many cases it is much
more feasible for a creamery associa.
/ tion to do the cooperative buying anc
selling than for few to get together
/ privately.
/ Perhaps some of our other creameries
would find II to their advantage To try
out some Of these plans. because amy
/ thing which helps the patron helps the
/ creamery.
