Theatre to Cost $15yooo and Have Seating Capacity of 600 to Be Erect ed by Raymond J. Jodoin.

Plans have been drawn for the con- struction of a $15,000 theatre for Ray mond J. Jodoin in Baltic. The thea tre will have a seating capacity of 500 people, 400 on the first floor and 200 in the balcony. It will be made of stucco material and the entrance will be of a most attractive appear ance.
 MT. Jodo1n will install his own cleo tric light plant and has already pur- chased a dynamo for that purpose.
 The stage will be made large enough so that a vaudeville performance can be given, but moving pictures will be run principally. It will be 36 feet wide and run back 15 feet. The floor will be cement and the walls will be plas- ter save five feet from the floor which will be wainscotting.
 The plastered walls will be attrac- lively decorated and the building all the way through will be of first class.
 Over the entrance there will be 50 electric lights and a marquee will overhang the sidewalk, bordered with flower beds.
 The theatre will be situated on Rail- road avenue at the site where the present Dime building stands. Work will be started soon on tearing down the old building. A Hartford architect drew the plans for the theatre.

The Question of Milk.

We are hearing a lot these days about the milk industry of New Eng land. Every paper contains something of interest to dairymen. At the pres ent time there is being held in Bos- ton, before the Interstate Commerce Commission, a hearing which is of vital importance to every dairyman in New London County. The Boston Chamber of Commerce report on the investigation and anlysis of the pro- duction, transportation, inspection, and distribution of milk and cream in New England says:-The leased car system, which is the system under which the greater part of the milk and cream in New England is transported, has rendered to give the dealers a. monopoly of the buying territory,
 condition already exists. With the
 exception of 25 per cent of the local ties, the farmer has had to accept what the dealer has offered, and it has been impossible to secure competitive bids. This tends to build up an an | tagonis1n between the farmer and the dealer, making it less probable that l the farmer will strive to produce for 1 the dealer a good, clean article. The leased car system should be abolished.
 Producers should establish country milk stations. To grade milk and
 cream, it is practically necessity to | have milk and cream plants. Col | lections in all directions from the pro- | ducers could be made, and the milk from each producer could be weighed daily and a sample taken for butter l fat, twice or three times a week tests
 could be made for bacteria. The pick
 ing up of milk, a few cans at a sta | ton, to secure a carload is unsatis- factory for the prducer, railroad com pany, and consumer. It makes ii practically impossible to grade the
 milk. Furthermore. the milk on sta- ton platforms is exposed to the sun
 and the rise in temperature causes the
 bacteria to multiply by hundreds o1 l thousands, and lessens the keeping Il quality of the milk.
 The last issue of Current Affa1rt
 asks, Why should the Boston Chamber
 of Commerce have an interest in ag7- culture? Because-Agricultur is c great New England industry, repre- | senting in the six states more thar l $867, ,000, ,000 of invested capital, em.

and with an annual output of $300,- 0O0,O00. Because-This annual produc- tion, furnishing food products neces- Sary to great population, enters into the commerce of Boston and vicinity, employing transportation interests in its distribution, employing numerous wholesome and retail establishments in its marketing, furnishing raw ma terial for the canning and packing in- dustries and so directly employing thousands of New England agencies and thousands of New England work CTS in addition to those engaged in the initial operations on the farm. Be- cause-Prospertty in the city is indis- solubly bound up with prosperity in the country. The farmers constitute manufactured in the city, just as the city furnishes the chief market for the products of the farm. Bad condi- t1ons in the country inevitably and di- rectly react upon the city, curtailing its production and lessening it's busi- ness. Closer acquaintance between city and country. resulting in better mutual understanding between the farmer, the city dealer, and the ulti- mate consumer, fuller recognition of the problems of one another and closer cooperation to solve these problems should result in better business condi- t1ons in both city and country.
 Dairymen of New London county, are we going to let George do it? Are we going to lay back and let the Bos- ton Chamber of Commerce come down here and do all the work of bettering the present conditions of the milk in- | dustry? And if they should succeed without our help. should we expect to receive any of the gain therefrom Let's do our share. Let's go out to the North Stonington Grange hall or
 the evening of March 10th and heaI what Mir. Orcutt, secretary of the agricultural committee of the Boston Chamber bf Commerce has to say about the commercial side of this very
 important industry. Do you know
 how your milk Is transported? Hs will show you pictures of it on itl
 Journey, pictures of how it is handled by the dealer changed so that yow cows would never recognize 1t, or de-

PLANTS AND SHRUBS.
Early Care Will Bring Results H Done
 During First Part of March.

A little early care given to the pruning of ornamental trees and shrubs during the early part of March will do much to control their growing and towering habits. and enable the home owner to have formed plants and well-trained hedges or boundary splantings. The pruning Of ornamental trees and shrubs is, in fact, one of the first duties that may profltably be performed in the home garden. The amateur, however, should not make a ruthless assault with shears or pruning knife upon everything in his yard. Towering trees and shrubs that bloom in the spring or early summer should not receive radical pruning at this time. according to the garden specialists of the United States Department of Agri- culture. Of course. if on these plants there are dead or weak branches. these should be taken out, and any cross ing limbs that are rubbing and seri- ously interfering with the growth of the bush should be removed. The tips of the limbs, however, should not | be cut of nor should any young wood | that does not interfere with the growth of the bush be removed. Ii must be borne in mind that the blos- som buds for this years towering were formed last year, and every | shoot removed takes off that much ei the prospective blossoms.
 | | flowers in midsummer and which were not pruned in the fall may be prunet | at this time. Plants of this sore arr | the Rose Of Sharon and the shrubbI | hydrangea- Where the largest possible | mass effect is desired these plant. l should be pruned but little. If thu | aim is to secure the largest possible | trusses or blossom heads, last year. growth shoul be pruned back to twt
 or three eyes to a stem Such sever
 pruning. however, Is not conductive tt
 the most attractive development c | shrubs.
 Climbing roses should not be prunet at this time except for the remova | of surplus or interfering branches | Every bit of wood removed now re
 duces the amount of bloom the plan will bear during the coming season
 Roses used in border planting shoul
 be treated in exactly the same way a
 other shrubs, except that many O
 these species will be improved by hay
 ing all their old wood cut away ono
 in every five or six years. This woul mean cutting all the old canes of within or inches of the ground an forcing the bush to throw up entirel new wood.
 Roses used for cut flowers. like tn hybrid perpetuals, the hybrid teas. an teas, should be severely pruned- Tn

 Let's produce clean milk. Clean milk Is milk which never had dirt in 1t Straining out the visible dirt leaves the milk stin dirty because dissolved dirt does not strain out. Consumer-you arc interested too be- cause you want clean milk, sweet milk, healthy milk, but remember that no amount of expenditure dn costly barns, expensive equipment, frdlls, or even dairy inspection will do as much to secure clean milk as paying the dairy man for milk on the basis of cleanh- ness, and he in turn. paying his hired help on the same basis.
