NO CHURCH UNION
South Church People Do Not Favor
Proposition To Unite With
North Church

While the vote of the church has
not beel taken it is quite apparent
there will be no union of the North
and : the South Congregational
churches. The invitation of the
North church to the South church
was taken up by the committee of
the South church at a meeting last
Wednesday evening. The commit
tee decided to call a church meeting
fol Wednesday evening of this week
and allow the members to vote ON
the question. The sentiment of the
members so far as learned is large
ly against the proposition.

LOOSE BALL PLAYING
Town Team Defeated by East Rye
gate and LittIetOn

Saturday afternoon the local
team lost a very loose game of
ball when the East Ryegate team
came off the Victors by the score
OF to 2. The home team had no
license to play ball. inasmuch as
they were all out of form. The ab-
sence of Writer'S at second and OF
Connor at short, crippled the team.
Smythe was started, and pitched
for four innings, but he did not re-
ceive the support of the rest of the
team and so was shifted to left
field and Speare was put in. The
south-paw was not in condition to
pitch and so did not deliver his usu-
al game of ball, nor did he receive
any more support than was neces-
sary.
In the fourth inning Barrows hit
up an intield fly, Munsel and Pat
Carlson both running for the ball
collided, as a result Of the collision
Carlson received a broken leg,
while Munsell got off with a bad
shaking-up.

FARMERS OUTING
Caledonia County Farmers AssO
citation and Forest and Stream
Club Plan Meeting.

At a meeting of the Caledonia
County Farmers Association held
last Saturday at the St Johnsbury
House, it was voted to have an
| outing with some speaker of nation
al reputation as the guest of honor
and efforts will be made to get the
United States secretary of agricuI-
ture. The state Commissioner OF
agriculture has expressed his will
ingness to attend and other speak
ers OF note may be expected
The time for this meeting will be
set with especial reference to the
convenience of the most noted
speaker from abroad, but in a gen
eral way it is hoped that the
meeting can be held the latter part
of August, which seems to be the
most convenient time for the farm
ers to take a day off after haying
The committee discussed Joe's
Pond favo1ably as a central point
for rendezvous from various direc-
tions but are not committed TO any
particular location and would be
glad to have any members sugges-
tions, by addressing Secretary j.
w. IItComb at LyndonYille, as to
location for the meeting, or any 9TH
er points which would add to its sue
cess.
As many of the members Of this
association are also members of
the Caledonia County Forest and
Stream Club it is very likely that
the outing of both organizations Will
be held the same day, under the
same tent, and the Forest and
Stream Club will endeavor to have
one or more noted speakers and
keep up the standard of speaking TO
that of the outing two years ago
when Will Carleton and Burgess
Johnson entertained the members
and guests so successfully.
1t is proposed to have a dinner
and if the outing is at a place like
Joe's Pond, where there are no suit
able buildings for entertaining, it
will be under canvas with accommo-
dation for 900 or 700 people, it be-
ing expected that members of both
and their families to-
gether with all candidates for mem
bership will be entitled to secure a
dinner ticket and to avail them
selves of the post-prandial. exercis- !
es whether purchasing a ticket or
not

Meetings for Each Town

The committee have decided that
it will be a good idea to have q
meeting in every town in the coun-
ty during the coming fall and win
ter in order that County Agent
Stimson may be able TO meet as
large a number of the farmers as
possible. At such time he will be
able to consult with them in refer
ence to buying chemicals for fer
tilizer and arrangements will be
made so that he can instruct those
who purchase chemicals how to mix
them for raising different crops.
The subject of spraying demon
stratiOns was discussed and it is
probable that the agent will be pro-
vided with a knapsack sprayer
which he can take with him to diff
ferent points and give demonstra-
tions in spraying potatoes which is
a crop which just at this time seems
to need most attention.
Considering the fact that the
agent was not engaged for service
until the farmers of the county had
quite generally arranged their
spring work and purchased their
fertilizers and seed, the consensus
of opinion seems to be that he is
making very good progress and that
his services are appreciated. With
the large membership (now over
45O) it is impossible for him to visit
each individual farmer this summer,
but he is travelling by motor cycle
and has covered about 5000 miles
already and intends to cover as
much territory as possible and al
low to each member as much time
as he is willing to give.

against it. an appeal is made to the scabs for
a helping hand. II is the same thing they
did with US in 1911. when they wanted to get
their freight rates increased. They furnished
Us with letter to sign and send to the COM

the employees wanted the company to raise
the freight rates. And just as the scabs in
