Polls.

Sometimes a playwright makes his
people the characters in his play-tell
Il great story. plainly, forcibly aud direct
IS. Sometimes he makes them act simply
for the purpose of amusement. and some
times he makes them show the fashions,
the manners and the customs of given
place or a given time. In other words,
he turns them into a living picture. Louis
y. Parker, author of ''Pomander Walk. -
being presented at Polls Theater this
week. seems to have this last purpose
ip view. but when the play has time to
''sink in a little. feeling that great
truth is being taught in a subtle fashion
impresSeS one. The queer little houses on
the walk the fisherman who does nothing
but sit on the bank and fish, and the
admiral and the Beau Brummel who play
quoits all day were not thrown. together
simply TO paint a picture and show the
customs of earlier day, but rather to
tell how little it takes to make people
contented.
''Pomander Walk" Where is it? In.
derstand: "Out Chiswick way--half-Way
TO fairyland. So says the program, tell
ing where the play is staged. And then
it goes On to show a quaint little English
village in the year 1909.
The story is simply tale of the love
of two young people and how they bring
about a. reconciliation between their par
ents, who before their marriage to mates
not of their own choosing loved others,
Indeed, four love stories are interviewer
in the queer little picture play. and, of
course. all of them end happily.

the belief that the flood in that section
would be controlled 1t is not believed
that the danger stage will be approached

about May ].
The country is rich in cotton farms
and is well settled. Conservative est

NEW DIVISION CREATED,
BENEFIT Of THE FARMER
Department of Agriculture to
Elaborate Scheme, Prof.
Carver at Head.

Prof. T. y. Carver of Harvard Univer-
sity has definitely accepted the offer of
the Department of Agriculture to take
charge of the new division about to be
started which was intended originally to
be merely division of markets, but now
of larger scope to be known as the
rural organization service. This divi-
sion Will start active operations June l.
Prof. Carver has had several conferences
with the Agricultural Department, but
the entire scope of the new service has
not yet been determined. and according to
the present scheme OF Secretary Houston
it is a division adopted to almost In
definite expansion.
One of the first things that will be
studied is the marketing feature. This
will include current prices. not the aV-
erage statistics, for the United States
but the actual price that the producer
may expect to get for his hay and po-
tatoes al the nearest practical market
center
Ultimate Object Outlined.
This will involve the location of the
best and nearest market for any given
community and ultimately the organiZa-
ton of cooperative marketing. so that
est marketing service at the lowest price.
The qualifications OF the scheme are
large, for it will involve highway and
railroad transportation problems. Coun-
try communities will be urged to Coop
crate in selling largely as practicable
But the service is designed ultimately to
go farther than marketing, for the eco
nomic development of the farming COM
INIT &c co nit ia1
development of the community and of
the department say 1T will be hard to
touch one without entrenching on the
other.
The department, so the officials say.
does not want to go too deeply into the
problems of the individual farm family,
but wants to encourage the communities.
so far possible, to develop themselves
and not to do anything for them officially
that they can do for themselves At the
same time one aim of the division will be
to discover and work out effective meth
DDS of community development.
Marking the Natural Boundaries.
One problem will be to discover the
natural boundaries which mark an in
dividual community and urge the mem
bers in that circle to trade and exchange
products among themselves when that is
feasible, and to cooperate effectively
when buying and selling outside. 1t has
been found already by observation that
great economies can be effected i'm many
communities by cooperative buying as
we'll as selling.
One thing that has been found in sew
eral of the most effective county surveys
that have been made is that the coun-
try church frequently serves as a good
center about which to map out "a COM
munity and that much effective organi-
zation work can be done by taking the
country church as the basis.

MADE A JOKE OF
 LARcHMoNT YAcHTsMAN BcstfuI of Jecuiar Lawyers BurIesqued
 ComFnodore's Calls.

Now 1t is reported the Larchmont Yacht club may give New London the go-by on all coming cruises for the manner in which it's commodore was treated by a group of prominent Con- necticut men on the race course on the Thames river last Friday. Trouble started when the commodore went off In. his dingy to make calls on board other yachts of. the fleet. As is cus- tomarya with the club a bugler an nounced the commodores departure and his return to the flagship. As the commodores calls were frequent they attracted a good deal of attention from yachts around the flagship. which were not expected to pay attention to them
 The picturesque custom in which commodores trips were proclaimed appealed humorously to a crowd of joc- ular lawyers from the western aspart of the state. Led by a senator, who is not at all popular with New Lon donerS, a burlesque on the ceremony was instituted One of the jokers lost his hat overheard. He went after it in a dingy and on his return aboard ship he was greeted by chorus of six fish horns and wash boiler Af- ter that the same racket followed the official bugler's calls.
 Aboard the flagship of the Larch- mont Y. C., the commodore's wife be- came frantic The commodore, who is a good sport, laughed. The spectators were uproarious. The commodore stood it for half a dozen calls before an nouncing all calls off for the rest of the day or until the Bridgeport yacht left it's anchorage.

ELKs BAND CONCERTS.
Norwich Lodge Makes Move That Will
 Be Popular-First on Friday Night.

Immediately after the annual town meeting decided not to hold any popu- lar free band concerts this summer, the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, under the leadership of Exait- ed Ruler John H Carney. took steps to see that the public would have some music, during the hot weather, and have arranged to give the people of Norwich an opportunity to hear some of the favorite selections of the day on Friday evening, June 27th at 8 o'clock.
 For that purpose there is to be a platform erected at the corner of Park and Main streets in front of the Elks' home on Friday to allow Tubbs full brass band to give a concert.
 The Elks have arranged to entertain in their magnificent home on East Main street on that evening, and the house will be open for the members and their friends; and refreshments will be served.
 It is particularly requested by the committee in charge of the affair that the public does not disfigure their beautiful lawn in front of the Home, in which they take a good deal of pride.

CITY MISSION OUTING FUNDS. Needs of Season Will Requires About $1o0-Many Benefited Last Year.

City Missionary Northrop states:
 The season is at hand when the City Mission is accustomed to furnish fresh air outings by boat or trolley to those who need them, but are not able to provide them for themselves
 Aside from an income of s20 from a special fund, the expenses of these outings are borne by contributions from the benevolent public
 A total of $100 will probably meet all the known and discoverable needs. The season extends through July and August. Last year about 175 different persons received the benefit of this phase of United Workers work. The number helped this year will depend upon the amount of gifts from frineds of the Mission.

A Handsome Endor..n.rs-

Those were handsome words our Contributing editor,'' Professor Taft, handed out to United States Senator Brandegee of Connecticut in yester- days Journal Courier anent the plans for the construction of the new local postofhce. He not only gave Senator Brandegee a large share of the credit for having pushed the movement. but he testified to his increasing useful ness as a member of the upper cham Der of congress. As MT. Taft says: Senator Brandegee is not much of a hand to seek newspaper notoriety. His great usefulness is in committee work, where he shines to advantage New Haven is grateful to him for the inter est he showed in the local postoff1ce undertaking. It proves that he grasps his relationship to us as the senator. of all the people of the state. the only attitude a senator can with consistency take. But. after all. that was local emotion. Senator Brandegee gave a splendid illustration of his national ap- preciation when he did all in his pow CT to defeat the hideous tolls clause in the Panama bill. Incidentally. we may observe that Senator Brandegee is not a whit less strong with the people of this section of the state by reason of MT. Taft's praise of him. And where a man is not injured by an- others praise. he is sure to be helped. New Haven Journal-Courier
