ure, Neptune's Daughter, was not shown
in the Auditorium Oct 80 and 81 but

things which the theatre would expect to
furnish: that while the provision in ques-
tion was not crossed out of the contract
there was a verbal agreement that the
show people should furnish machine and
operator and that they did in fact furnish
machine and operator in all the places on
the Fox x Eaton circuit where they
showed except Brattleboro, which was the
last place in the state where the attrae-

POTATO GROWERS
FORM ASSOCIATION
Windham Farmers Organize to Get
Benefit of Cooperative Buying and
Marketing-Outli of Plan.

In meeting in the town hall in
Windham Saturday evening, Nov. IA,
potato growers association came into
being. 1t is made up of Windham
farmers and organized for the purpose
of marketing potatoes and buying
fertilizer for its members. 1t is to be
known as the Windham Potato Growers
association.
This town, situated up in the hills,
has long been noted for its good po-
tatoes, but, owing to the distance from
market and the small acreage Of any
one grower, there has been the need
Of some cooperative method of dis
posing of the tubers. At a gathering
Oct. 20, County Agent A. w. Sweeton
and those present talked the matter
over and outlined a plan which, with
considerable work on the part of manly,
resulted in this new organization.
On the fertilizer matter, the associa-
tion plans to buy for its members in
carload lots, dividing the actual ex-
pense connected with each order among
those making up the order at 50 much
per ton.
The marketing will be dealt with
somewhat similarly, and when the po-
tatoes are ready to go in the fall the
| board of directors viii send someone
| as agent for them and he viii look up
! a place for them in some Massachus-
etts city, to which they viii be ship
lped in carload lots. The expenses OF
marketing each shipment will be paid
st so much per bushel by those making
lup the shipment. With several thou-
| sand bushels to be marketed in this
/ way the expense per bushel will be
very small.
The question of raising seed pota-
toes was discussed and the association
viii be on the lookout for seed pota-
TO orders for southern growers if they
find they can fill these orders to ad
vantage.
At the meeting on Nov II, 2S men
representing between 30 and 90 acres
signed the constitution as charter mem
bers. and elected the following of
icers: Pres, NJ. Fl. Ingalls, of Wind
ham; vice pres, w L. Tenney of South
Windham: see, Harry L. Gould OF
! Chester; treas, 6. t. Fales of Wind
ham; directors, james White of Ches
ter, w r. Carlton Of Win5lham, W
Adams Of Windham; auditor, y II
Rawson of Windham.
The association is now in working
order and promises to be of much ser
vice to IFS members.
