Danielson for East Killingly tomorrow morning, April 1. It is understood that heavy shipment of milk for the Providence market will be diverted from the Boston market on the very first day. Those who have arranged the new transportation scheme arc confident that the service will prove satisfactory and that the business will grow. For several years an effort has been made to get such an arrangement as has now been provided. so the milk producers now have a choice of two big markets-Boston and Providence which means competition for their milk and an opportunity for them to say to which city it shall be sent.

In the Worlds Series.

Just now business, politics, the war, and about
everything else that makes up the daily program
Of the busy United States, is presently pushed
aside for the time, while we settle the monentous
question Of which base ball team Is the better.
Leaders Of the big" leagues are matched in
friendly strife to determine the point. and when
the right moment has arrived one will emerge
with the glory Of being hailed champions of the
world, and may possess the title for twelve
month. Baseballitis is essentially an American
disease; our brothers and cousins across the sea
in either direction can not understand the malady
but none of them resides long In this land with
out being bitten by the bug, and once infected
the ailment runs its course with them as with
the natives and it is lifelong in its effect. This
is because base ball is real national game; it
holds the interest Of young and old, from the
fodder to the totterer, and all ranks and ages
unite in doing honor to the king who hits
them far and wide, to the beautifully muscled
arm that hurls the ball in cunning curves to
battle batters. the swift-footed lad whose nimble
wits and flying heels are pitted against the watch
full guardians Of the bases, and to all the athletes
who excel at the sport, The world series means
the apotheosis for the time Of the ball player
because he is representative OF clean, vigorous
sport, in which only the mentally and bodily alert
may shine, but in which even the dullest has a
part And may the better team win.
