Important for Agricultural Societies

There seems to be an unaccount-
able reluctance, among Somerset
County agricultural societies, as to
fixing dates for the 1916 fairs. and
making the same public. OF course
each association must be the arbiter
of own fortunes but, as it is generally
conceded that an agricultural exhibit
ton amounts to nothing unless peo-
pie come to see ii. there would seem
to be reason enough for giving the
public all the notice possible when
these events are to take place.
What under the sun are We wait
ing for? We have the best of au-
thority for expecting seed time and
harvest the coming season, as in
previous years. We know that Sep

The Oneida Club at North Fairfield

The Oneida Club is a neighborhood
club formed by the young people
March 10, 1916 for the purpose of
promoting a clear, healthy means OF
amusement and a more social and
friendly feeling among the young
people of the community. 1t started
with a membership of rs. The fol-
lowing officers were elected, presi-
dent, vice president, secretary and
treasurer. The officers were re-
quested to form what rules and by
laws that seemed to them desirable.
A committee of three are appointed
first of each month to have charge OF
the program for the next month. The
program consists of music, dialogues,
tableaux, readings, recitations, de-
bates, contests, etc. The idea is to
have games that help to build up the
mind Intellectually as well as anus
Ing. The club purchased them post
card protector or Radioptican in De-
cembel which they are using very
successfully. The club has now
been organized nearly a year and at
the present time have forty-two men,
bers. The club has been the means
of having several lectures and extern
sion school here at North Fairfield for
the benefit of those outside the club
as we'll as the club members. The
"Onedas' were a people known as
the People of the land of the beacon
light" and it is the desire of the club
to take a good omen of their name
and lead the way in the community in
all those things which make for bet
ter living, better neighbors and bet
ter individuals.
