MUCH INTEREST DISPLAYED
mi LABEL PROPOSITIONS

Voters seem to realize the vital
consequence to the outcome of the
Dillon & Douglas Butter Wrapper,
the Hecker Cereal and Union Club
Coffee and Russian Blended Tea,
Judging from the way these arti-
cles of redemption are coming in.
The many dealers selling this But
ter should make it convenient for
every voter without exception to
serve it at his table, having the
twin satisfaction of casting a most
telling number Of votes and of
consuming the very choicest But
ter product on sale anywhere. The
foundation upon which to build
millions of votes yet to come should
be the label or redemption features
such as Heckers' Cereals, Gold
Medal Butter, Russian Blended Tea
and Union Club Coffee, the Empire
Theatre tickets, and last but not
least, MADDEN'S CIGAR BANDS.
The organizations composed of men
should see their especial oppor-
tunity here. Thousands of votes
can be cast each week through this
feature alone, each Band being re-
deemable for Ten Votes. The indi-
vidual voting all the above articles
as a unit and without exception, is
sure to support you with his store
purchases, therefore the reasons
why we classify the Redemption
Features as the immediate basis Of
vote production.

FARMERS EXCHANGE.
Advocated by County Agent-Tine to
Get Ready for Fruit CroP-Hints
About Alfalfa.

County Agent w. c. Kennedy is now
prepared to devote his whole time to
the county agent work. He was grad :
uated from@the Massachusetts Agri-
cultural college Wednesday, June 16,
and is permanently located in Putnam,
where the Farmers association has its
office
All farmers are urged to make use
OF the county agent in solving their
problems, to ask him far advice on
any question at any time, in short to
consider him as just what he is. the
Windhan county farmers hired man.
Farmers should begin to plan about
this time to get their barrels, boxes
and crates for their fruit. Indications
are that there is to be quite a large
supply of suitable packages early in
the season. the order should be gotten
out as soon as a fairly accurate esti-
mate of the, crop can be made.
1t is now about time to make the
first cutting of alfalfa Farmers hav-
ing alfalfa throughout the county are
urged to cut it at the proper time.
The proper time to cut alfalfa is when
young shoots begin to start out around
the base of the stems. This indicates
that a, new growth Is ready to COM
mence. When cut at this time the
young shoots make a very vigorous
growth and the next crop is soon
ready. If the alfalfa is cut before
these shoots start, there is some delay
in getting the second crop under way,
If the first cutting Is delayed too long,
these shoots become sufficiently grown
so that they are cut also, thus check
ing the growth of the second crop.
Alfalfa fields should be watched
carefully and the first cutting should
be made soon after these little shoots
begin to appear.
The question of buying supplies,
grain. fertilizers, etc. and of selling
farm products is one of the most i'm
QQrtant If not the. most important one

THE SECRET oE SUCCESS.

The secret of success in the Big
Competition is trade in the stores
that issue the votes and make sure
that you patronize the various label
or redemption features; they are in
the list below, and this Directory
should be cut out for future refer
ence. In conclusion, we admonish
all to set themselves to the task
of putting forth a well organized
and systematic effort for every
source where votes are obtainabIe,
not for a moment overlooking the
FIVE VOTE Coupon which appears
in the Bulletin Daily, and it is very
advisable that this be not delayed,
for there will be news, lots of it
henceforth, and unless you are we'll
organized, you cannot very well
take full advantage of the oppor-
tunity impending.
