'AKED IS OUT OF
 FORD PEACE PARTY
Has Tiff With Leader Over Policy
 Of Publicity

Detroit, July 26.-The Rev. Dr. Charles F. Aked has resigned as chairman of the American Committee to the Ford Neutral Peace Confer ence at Stockholm, because, he said, the conference had utterly failed in it's object of bringing about peace. He added that there seemed to be no possibility that the conference, "com- posed of a crowd of visionaries and dreamers," could do anything of value toward peace.
 Dr. Aked made the announcement after an hours talk with Henry Ford, in which he informed MT. Ford that he would resign unless the present plans of the conference underwent a complete change. According to Dr. Aked, MT. Ford asked him not to re- sign at once, but to announce that he
 would not return to Stockholm for
 the present. Dr. Aked urged MT. Ford to adopt new peace policies at once, but MT. Ford said he must have
 more time to think over the matter. "As I could not afford to waste more time upon what I believe Is a futile
 peace campaign, I informed him that I could not wait for him to think about the matter but l must resign at once unless he adopted the policy I advo-
 cated,' said Dr. Aked. "As he did not
 wish to adopt that policy at once, I thereupOn resigned"
 pr. Aked said he long had been dis l satisfied with the policy of publicity being pursued by the Stockholm Peace Conference. Several times, he said, he
 had written letters to Mr. Ford asking l tht he be allowed to resign and that ms s1x-months' contract, held by MT.
 Ford, be canceled. The letters. he said. remained unanswered, although he said he was aware that they were re- ceived.
 1t was upon the question of whether moro toward ending the war could be accomplished through publicity or through diplomacy that MT. Ford and Dr. Aked split.
 AS result of lack of system and
 or leadership and, most of all, perhaps,
 because of it's policy, the conference since 1t started has accomplished prac- tically nothing," said the minister.

MILK RATES ILLEGAL
Interstate Commerce Commission Finds Farmers Arc Discriminated Against.

Washington, July 26.-Proposed increase in the rates over New Eng land railroads on milk, cream, and their products were found not justi- fled today by the interstate commerce commi ssion.
 Regulations of the New England roads giving rate preferences to dairy men leasing cars over those shipping in less than carload lots were found unlawful by the commission and the carriers were directed to esta bHsh a scale of rates on a per can basis and to prescribe lower rates for transpor- tation of these comm odities in freight cars on freight trains.
 The commissions opinion deals largely with shipments to the metro polftan district of Boston and says it Is poor economy to allow the leased can system to encourage dairymen in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine at the expense of those in adjacent territory. Under the present adjust ment, the commission says produc- CT 300 miles from Boston can trans port his products to his market there at lower rates than 100 miles away.

FARMERS ID FORM
 LOAN ASSOCIATION
Louis EdelSOn Secures Ten MeIn-
 berS Within the First Hour
AID FROM GOVERNMENT
Rural Credits Bill Will Prove Boon to Many Who Now Find it Difficult to Borrow Money-Special Town Meet ing Monday.

That local farmers are determined to be benefited by the rural credits bill, which was recently passed by congress, was evidenced this morning, when tentative plans for the forma- ton of the "Berlin Farmers Loan As sociation" were discussed. At 8 o'clock, Louis Edelson left his house apd before he reached the town clerks office an hour later he had secured ten mem bers for the proposed association The bill is intended to aid the agricul- tural workers of the country and local tiIlers Of the soil will no doubt enroll. Farmers have always had more or less difficulty in securing money from banks, especially in the spring time when it is most needed. Even when they were fortunate enough to obtain 8 loan to tide them over the planting season, 1t was often necessary to pay a bonus for the money. This way of doing business has created hardships of various sorts. A particularly bad season meant no money for the owner of the farm and oftfmes tied up his profits for the following two and even three years
 The plan at present is to enroll a large number of members for the as- h. The par value will be s25 and a char ter will be secured as soon as enough names are signed. Each member of the association will be able to borrow money each year, which can be paid back to the treasury in small install nents. According to the act of con- Eress establishing the rural credit bill it will also be possible for the pro- rosed corpOration to borrow money from the United States treasury de- rartment MT Bdelson was very op- hmtstfc this morning, regarding the association and it's aims and he felt certain the movement will prove a euccess from it's inception. Within the next few days, he will visit every Rll to join.
 Special Town Meeting.
 The board of selectrnen will call a special town meeting for next Mon day evening, to take action on the rroposed concrete curbs and gutters fer Warrington Ridge At previous meeting, it was voted not to do this but since the work has started many citizens feel that the work should be done. The road has been raised and the old cobb1e gutters will no longer be able to take care of the water and IS result many lawns will be flooded after a heavy shower or rain storm.
 It has been estimated the town S share of the proposed work will amount to approximately $70O and the meeting is called to obtain the opinion

Cavalry Soldier Considers Trouble
 With Mexico Over
PROMOTION FOR FRED DIMES
Local Soldier Qualities As Sharpshoot- CT And Is Made A Lance Corporal Shower For Bride -E1ect-Ffles Re movaI Notice-Other Matters.

Regular army men are beginning to wonder why President Wilson has not issued an order dismissing the members of the National Guard from service on the Mexican border, aC- cOrding to a letter received here from Fred J. Dimes of the twelfth cavalry, who believes that the trouble with Carranza and his cOuntrymen no longer exists. Young Dimes and other enlisted soldiers seemingly don't con- sider that there is any occasion for the action of the war department in continuing to send militiamen to the international line. He reports every thing quiet on the border.
 Dimes, who is Plainville boy. writes to his parents that he has been promoted to lance corporal and hopes to be made a corporal soon. He is rifleman of exceptional ability and is recognized as one of the sharp shooters of his company.
 His letter follows:
 we are still here in West Hachita but go out to La Cienagas again in a few days to relieve l. and M troops in patrolling the border. Everything Is quiet along the line now and 1 can't understand why they keep send ing militia down here, as the troub!e seems to be over.
