FAKE ROBBERY TOLD
AND MAN IS SWEATED
SIGNS Statement That lie
Was Not Held Up Alter
Reporting Robbery

The secret Of some Of the hold
ups" that have been occurring IN
Bosalusa are being exposed and
this time one party was caught red
handed but not until he was given
a sweat by the police department
On last Saturday morning the
police we're informed, that a man
had been held up at the bridge IN
North Bosalusa and robbed Of $50
about seven o'clockin the evening
with lights burning on the bridge
and traffic heavy. The robbery
was 50 daring that citizens decided
that it would be best to secure
blood hounds and bring an end to
such hold ups. City officials de-
cided it would be best to make al
investigation and after an lnvestl
cation they found that the part!
who claimed he was held up drew
less than half of the amount OF
pay day that he claimed to have
been robbed of. He was broush
before the police and given soo'
sweat and signed a statment tina
, he was not robbed. His trouble
have not ended as yet.

the fireman started a fire in the
boiler which did not contain any
water. Several fues were burned
out which resulted in a suspension
of work for two days. BY working
night shifts they were able to com,

FUNDS INCREAs ED,
Annual Report of Treasurer of West
 field Cemetery Association.

Figures contained in the annual re- port or Treasurer Nathan D. Prince of the Westfield Cemetery association snow that the funds of the organiza ton in both accounts increased during 1914
 The general fund of the association at the date of the report amounts to $9,2IS.S6- The perpetual care fund on Jan. amounted to Sl1,6 The total receipts during the year were S210I47: the total expenditures, S2,22998 The excess Of expenditures over receipts was S12S.01. The general fund in creased by S5i4.J5 during the year the perpetual care fund growing by SS50 during the same period. Eleven addi- uonal lots were received into the per petual care lists during 1914 The total increase of both funds during the year amounted to S1,384. Tn money of the funds is very carefully invested. the principal in savings banks where It earns the usual rate of interest.
 The practice of arranging for per petuai care Of lots in the Westleld cemetery, occupying one of the most beautiful sites of any burial place in the state, grows constantly and has an eyer stronger appeal as the bene- fits derived become manifest to those who inspect the well kept lots of those who have left funds for the purpose. There are few more lasting things that 8 man can do for himself with his money than to set aside q sum of It for tho perpetual care of the burial lot of himself and family, and in the resting place Of the dead such lots are always Q cause of admiration and an indication of thoughTfuiness The beauty of them is also a gift to the world

 How Such an Association IS Supported
 The Federal government gives s1,000 to each county.
 $500 to $500 and a bill is to be intro duced into the legislature for further aid.
 The Shore Line Railroad has prom ised $500. As the last is not a phil anthropic institution it's contribution is based on bushes principles and should be 9 fine example to the aver age busnesS man who expects a re- turn for his money. The balance Of some S2,00o must be contributed by the farmers and busi- mess men of the county, who are to be directly benefited This sum of S4.O00 to S4500 is eX- pended in the salary. office equipment demonstration, and means of trans portation of the agent about the county.
 At the meeting on Feb. 1st John C. Orcutt of the Boston Chamber Of Commerce and Prof. Y. J. Blake Of the Connecticut Agricultural college will speak and it is hoped that the county will be well represented by it's business men and farmers.

To be Formed for Windham County at Meeting to be Held Next Monday.
 An important meeting of great i'm portance to all farmers and business men in Windham county is to be held in Odd Fellows hall, Putnam, Monday, Feb. 1st. at D. nn- for the purpose of forming a Farm Improvement Associa- tion
 All modern businesses realize today the necessity of operating and market ing their products on business basis. The necessity of such methods applies particularly to farmers that they may cooperate as q. body for the benefit of ali including the business interests of the community. To follow success full methods in raising and disposing of crops, to standardiZe the produce and sell in carload lots, to pursue methods found by experience to be successful and to eliminate the unsuc- cessful; thse are a very few of the objects of such an association.
 Results.
 Wherever these associations have been formed it has resulted:
 l Agrater production of farm pro ducts and if goods are properly mar keted more money.
 Better prices for produce receiv- ed through better systems of mar keting.
 \ general rise in land values. This has universally been true wher- ever this work has been carried on.
 It brings the business men and the afrners together on matters of cong mon interest promoting closer reIa- tions and 9 better understanding of the problems of each.
 , It binds the several communities of a county together in a common in terest and promotes a "Set-together" spirit.
 History of the Movement.
 Wine nthe boil weeviI attacked the cotton belt agricultural interests put demonstrators into the field to com bat the evil. Such excellent results immedia tely followed that the question was at once asked Why not try such methods on other agricultural crops as well ?"
 The movement spread rapidly. There are now more than six hundred such demonstrators" in the South and within the last three years more than two hundred counties in the North have been organized.
 The Agricultural Aeent-His Duties,
 The agents employed by these as sociations should bo men of scientific training and farm experience. Their work is varied. As large business in terests employ efficiency men to laoI1
 
 ness, SO these men are trained sUe- ciaIists il the business Of farming. One farmer of a few could not ern- pioy such 8 man but 6 group can col lectiveIy secure such service. These agents make a study Of the needs of the county, the adaptability of the land to certain crops. They demonstrate the mos improved agricultural methods and farm practices. Being in touch wit hlocaI conditions they discover why certain things have failed on some farms and succeeded on others, give publicity to the successful method and try to surplant the poorer way with the better.
 \ part Of the agents work is to give advice on cropping systems, fertiliz- CTS, lining, farm management, dairy breeding and feeding, orchard man agement, care of poultry, and in nearly every line of farming. One of his par tcular duties may well be, if there is sufficient cooperation to get farm CTS each to plant certain quota of a particular crop. potatoes for instance
