 Thursday afternoon at 1.45 in the town hall; County Agent F. c. Warner of Norwich addressed meeting of lin and other nearby towns. The ob- ject of this meeting was to ascertain if the milkmen in this section were willing to form an organization to CO., operate with other organizations in { this section, such as Preston, North Stonfngton and other towns where an organization exists and to send dele gates to meet representatives. from wholesale markets and to fix a price for their milk and to later organize a market for retail purposes. Also to appoint a committee to investigate the subject and to advise the better way of using their surplus to advan- | tage.
 MT. Warner asked those present if they were in favor of the Cooperative Milk Producers association. A mo- ton was made and carried to form an organization. to cooperate with South Windham, Lebanon, Franklin, Preston and other places which are shipping milk to wholesale stations.
 Owen Stewart of Pautipaug Hill, was chairman of the meeting. About twenty seven producers were present and each man signed his name to a list to prove his willingness to coop crate with his fellow producers.
 Mir.

 Final Link in Road Building.
 Getting State Highway Commission CT Charles J. Bennett to approve ths building of the final link of the trunk line road from the Rhode Island line at Little Rest to a point two miles east of here IS one of the things that is going to claim the attention of the citizens here during the winter and spring seasons. This is a natural and the shortest route to Providence. Dan iefson, it seems, must do some hustling to get the link built, however, diverting if necessary some of the mill lions that are going into state high way work in western sections of the state. Windham county is in Con necticut, notwithstanding many doubts, in some sections, to the con trary. It costs Danielson in business and prestige to allow this trunk line to remain uncompleted, traffic being diverted over other routes.

If the druggist has no gratuitous packages, the person may buy a 25 cent tube with the unqualified understanding that if that first tube does not do that person more than a dollars worth of good, he or she can get their quarter back from either the druggist, or the Kondcn Com pany at Minneapolis.

County Commissioners E. H. Cort- tis, John A. Dady and Urgele La france met Thursday in the office of the selectmen here for the pur- pose of granting druggists liquor li- censes to applicants.
