 ville. Sunday afternoon. Enuf Ii School days are fast rotating to a
 close for somebody Soon the college
 halls, the farm, the office or the
 factory.
 And once again the electric light
 bulbs on the town clock shed no light
 on either of the four faces. And the lclock smites out the hour in darkness,
 unless the transient moon is kind. l Types we meet: The Doer for
 Policy's Sake. There are many of those who do things because it seems that they should be done if they wish to stand in we'll. In them is no fertile field in which deeds prompted by fine motives can grow. They are con- tinually turning over the question as to whether this should be done or that should be done, and generally arriving at the conclusion by look ing down the purely personally affecting perspective. They wish to be secure with the influential bunch. They nev- CT look beyond to see if they could do some thing of benefit to those in need. And when they have done a thing for polioy's sake, as might be surmised, there is attached to it no sense of pride that issues when a pure deed has been showed through. And there are many of those policy doers in this little burg.

 Considerable interest is being mani fested among the farmers of this section of the town in the formation of Holland county farmers bureau. A meeting was held in grange hall last Friday evening to consider the matter. The meeting was called to order by E. O. Pinney. MT. Pinney said that he was not very extensive 6 l farmer, but was interested in the formation of farmers bureau in the | county, because of the great benefit l farmers of other sections of the state | were deriving from the bureaus they had formed. Every county in the state has one, he said, except Hartford and Holland counties. He then introduced Prof. Davis of Storrs college requesting that he explain the aim and purpose of these bureaus and name some of the benefits to be derived | from them. MT. Davis then took up l the several articles of purpose as given last week in The Press, in | connection with the call for this | meeting. The real purpose, he said, | Is to help the farmer solve the market problem and to help him raise better and larger crops. The real factor in this bureau is the agent, whose duty it is to give information concerning the care and maintenance of orchards, and the kind of seeds best suited to his peculiar soil. Through the aid of the bureau, the farmer could find better marketing for his farm pro- ducts. The county, the state and the federal government are all pledged, he said, to support this bureau if sufficient interest in manifest through out the county to warrant it. The annual membership fee is to be one dollar. J. M. Larned was then asked organization, that some action might be taken toward the formation of a bureau Nearly every one present ex- pressed himself as in favor of such action. and pledged his support. It was voted to elect committee of six to meet with others in the county, also interested at a meeting to be called later by the Rockville Board of Trade for the purpose of con- sidering the advisability of forming a county bureau. In the meantime, this committee is to interview others who may be interested, but were not present at the meeting. The oom- mittee are E. 0. Pinney, Theodore Martin, Gordon Charter, J. M. Larned, IL P Rnnth and Royal R Hatch The
