FIFTY DOLLARS FOR A NUT.
New Industry for the North Ne Nut Trees sfor the Northern
 Door Yard.

Suppose old man Baldwin had not told anybody about that first Bald win apple tree. There would have been no Baldwin apples for the rest of us: Fortunately MT. Baldwin knew an 'opportunity for fun, money and public spirit when he saw it, so he grafted other trees from the original one and gave cion to his friends. Thus we are now enriched by havin g many millions of Baldwin apple trees, all descended from the first and only original one.
 D The time has now come when we need to find dozens and scores of other MT. Baldwin's who will tell us about the good wild nut trees of America. We now know how to graft them, so that the finding of them amounts to something. We have most surprising resources in. the shape of rare nut trees, if we just knew where they were. As an example of these unknown resources. will cite the re- cent discovery in Indiana of three or four of the finest pecan trees in the world. It took looking to find these trees from am ong the thousands of wild ones, but it is true that some body, some boy. some hunter, some observant farmer, has his eye on nearly all of the extra fine nut trees in his neighborhood. s. He should tell the WOFlQ aDO0L mem, that S. all. The way is easy-simply send samples of the nuts. with an account of the tree to the secretary of the Northern Nut Growers Association, pr. w. c. Dem- ing, Georgetown, Conn.
 This association is made up of a collection of people who love nut trees and are interested in them. They hold their annual meeting; this year at Rochester, N. Y, September 1st a nd, 2176 fn nd lea s1-T7 about lot of emarkable English walnut trees. This association wants help so badly that it is offering money: for it-$5O for hazel tree of American origin that can compete with the important dlberts; $25 for the
 best hickory nut; $10 foR a northern
 pecan better than we now have, and 1 $2o for other nuts that are found 1 by judges to be sufficiently valuable
 Now send along fine hickory nuts 1 shagbarks, black walnuts, oceans anc l hazel nuts.

 May Play Five Games.
 On account of the extraordinary en- thusiasm over the inter-cfty baseball series there has been some talk of lengthening the number of games to be played to five in number. This might be done at the present time without disadvantage to either team, as each has won a victory, but there are considerations that may offset this. It was said here Monday that South bridge wants Putnam to be the team to open the new grounds there. these to be ready about Labor day, so an- other series may be planned for that time. It now looks as if the present series would end with the big game at Southbridge next Saturday.

TO REDUCE BOARD
 OF sELEcTMEN.
KiIIinsIy to Have Three Instead of Five Board of Relief Likewise Affected.

Killingly's board of selectmen, through the operation of a law enacted at the last session of the general as- sembiy, will be reduced from five to three members this fall. This is an end for which various parties have striven at various times through past years. but never with success In this town. one of the few of the 167 towns of Connecticut that have found it necessary to maintain a board of more than three members. Likewise the board of relief will be reduced from five to three members, though in this ease there is a difference as to the method of providing for succession This year three members of the board of relief are to be elected, one for one year. one for two years, one for three years. In years to come only one member of the board of relief will be elected each year, to serve term of three years.
 The act under which the board of selectmen will be reduced is chapter 197, public acts of 1915, providing that any town having population of 10000 or more may elect not less than three nor more than seven selectmen, and any town having a population of less than 10000. as is tho case in Kiinngly, shall not elect more than three select men.
 The exception to this is that the act shall not be construed to affect the election of selectmen in towns in which, by special act, other provision has been made. As there is no special
