Country Club Affairs

At the Putnam Country Club this
Thursday evening there will be pow
erty social and dance. Even if one has
thirty cents in his clothes he is sup
posed to make up for it by looking
poor. A lot of "poor" people are CO.
ing to have rich time, that's the pro-
gram.
On Friday, November 10th, there
will be masquerade social and dance.
This will provide good fun for all.
Next week Thursday the ladies'
handicap golf tournament will be
played OFF. There is good sized entry
and much interest is manifest in this
match.
The men are hoping for one more
handicap before the weather puts the
lid on the sport for this year.

Exhibit of New England Products

The New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Company and the
Central New England Railway Com
pany are making an exhibit of pro-
ducts of the farms and waters of
Southern New England ut the South
Station, Boston, and visitors 10 the
south Station recently who have wit
messed this display have received a
vivid impression not only Of the sea
food products, for which this part Of
the country is famous, but also Of some
Of The agricultural products Of south
ern New England
The exhibition is in large glass
cases, one OF which contains specimens
Of sea food products such as HOLSTERS,
mackefel, oysters, CLANS and crabs.
These products are contained in glass
jars, and are preserved in a special So
luton prepared for this purpose, which
keeps the contents Of the JAS In their
natural state.
In another case are jars containing
specimens OF Southern New England's
fruit ami vegetable products. There
are samples Of peaches, pears, apples,
straw berries plnms, gnpes, cranOer-
ries, celery etc, That have been grown
in southern New England during the
past season.
1t is tie intention Of the Industrial
Bureau Of the New YORK New Haven
and Hartford Railroad and the Central
New England Railway, under whose
direction this exhibit has been arrang.
ed, to extend it considerably in the
near future SO that practically every
product that is produced extensively
in Southern New England and that
may be exhibited in this manner will
be displayed.
The growing of vegetables, small
fruit and truck in Southern New Eng
land is already large industry in this
section, but the possibilities of ,rowth
in the production of these food pro-
ducts are .unexcelled. The consump-
tion of small fruits, vegetables and
truck is growing more rapidly than
the production, and the demand for
such products may be shown from the
estimate OF one authority In one of the
Southern New England Estates. This
authority states that the consumption
of food products in that particular
state Is SS0,000,000 per annum while
the production Of such food products
is bare 81, 100000 per annum.
