energies to the cultivation of that
fraternity which has drawn together
and cemcnted the members of this
the greatest and grandcst associa-
.tion of soldiers and sailors ever
formed since history began. 1t has
been the practical eXemplification of
charity to the distressed, and its
work along the patriotic education
of the rising generations has been
such as to be recognized by the great
men of this and other nations. Not
only has it frowned on any personal
animositics against those who wrong
fully arrayed themselves against their
country and its flag, but II has
sought to more deeply impress upon
the rising generations the important
lessons to be drawn from the his
tory of the past, and which have so
indclibly impressed upon the heart
of the nation at such great cost or
life and treasure-that the highest
duty of the citizen is loyalty TO his
country and its flag.

adopted which absolutely prohibited
"all discussions OF political or parti-

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS.

The Northern Atlantic States Boys and Girls Exposition was one of the special features at the recent National Dairy Show at Springfield. One en. tire building and a tent were given over to display of boys and girls ex- hibits. Each day during the entire show demonstration ill the various club activities were given by the young people.
 Friday, October IS, was Boys and Girls Day, and many thousand boys and girls were present. On this day ten Juvenile Judging Contests were held. Over one hundred teams took part in these contests, or a total of about $50 boys and girls under 19 years of age. These teams were re- presentative of the ten eastern states. The Dairy Judging contestants brought back to Connecticut $285.0O worth of prizes.
 For each of the other contests the judging prizes amounted to $75. %. Thirteen teams of Connecticut boys and girls entered six of these contests and were successful in winning $142. 50 out of the $45O.00 offered. Connecti. cut club members seem to be able to give good account of themselves.

DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION.

The Connecticut Milk Producers As- sociation, at meeting held in Hart. ford, Tuesday, voted to incorporate, with an authorized capital stock of $50, ,OOO, divided into 10000 shares, par value, $5. Business will be begun on $2, 900, according to the wishes of the organizers.
 The fees of the members will be at the rate of 25 cents for each head of stock kept by the member. The pur- pose of the association as stated in the Hartford papers is to deal in all kinds of farm products and to promote eco- nomical production of pure milk.
 An effort in favor of incorporation was made by a committee composed of the following: A. W. Manchester, Litchfeld; D. A. Markham, Hartford Thomas Holt, Southington; H. l. Todd, Hamden; J. Arthur Sherwood, Easton.
 So far as can be learned, this assooia- tion is receiving it's strongest backing in the Connecticut River and Nauga- tuck valleys, where the dairymen are already receiving higher than Dairy. mems League prices for their milk and proportionately high prices for other products. For this reason, and because of the geographical situation which enables them to demand and get almost at pleasure a higher price than any other section of the state, they feel that thev have little use for membership in the larger league and can afford to be independent of it.

MILEAGE FOR LEGISLATORS.

Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb last week proclaimed the passage of the constitu. tional amendment providing mileage to members of the General Ass embly. His action was taken following the report of the Board of Convassers com. posed of Charles D. Burnes, Secretary of State; Frederick s. Chamberlain, treasurer, and Morris c. Webster, comp troller, who announced that the vote of the state showed that 3,459 were in favor of the adoption of the amend ment and 15,311 were against it.. Hartford was the only county which gave a majority against the amend ment.
 The amendment as adopted, reads as follows:
 "That portion of section of article 27 of the amendment of the state con stitution which relates to mileage to members of the General Assembly, is hereby amended to read as follows ( And in addition to such compensation the General Assembly may provide by law for transportation of each mem. Der by public conveyance by the most convenient route between his home station and the place of meeting dur ing the session or sessions of the Gen. eral Assembly to which he was elected !"

BIG GAME.

When young hunter starts out to play the part of the man behind the gun he doesn't always know just what he IS up against, as the experience of a local juvenile nimrod proves. On the particular occasion to which we refer this young gentleman stalked forth into the wilds "seeking whom he may de. vour" with .22 rifle, and had not ad- vanced far when an object suddenly appeared at close range and within easy vision. Whether it was a case of stage fright or buck fever we were not able to determine but the symptoms pointed toward the latter, as the youngsters hat immediately arose about six inches above his head, and, for some unex- plainable reason he was absolutely helpless in his efforts to get it down where it belonged. A peculiar sensa. tion of frigidity traversed his spinal column, and a spasm of reiterated futtering la tremolo possessed the region under the left side of his vest. All of this happened in the front end of all instant, the latter part of that same instant being occupied by the re- turn trip home.
 After respiration had become suffi- ciently normal to permit of articula- tion, the story of the hair.breadth escape was told. The animal was described as not as big as a deer, although that was what it was at first thought to be; the horns proved to be huge ears; in size the brute was finally reduced to the dimensions of a good sized dog; it ran like a mammoth rabbit, and from this we infer that its name was Jack.
 We will not divulge the name of this young hunter because he does not wish to have people know that it took copious administrations from the demiJohn to apPoase his fright.

GEOGRAPHY OF LITCHFIELD co.

Professor Richard E. Dodge, formerly of Columbia university, New York city, but for several years a resident or Washington, gave an interesting talk before the Monday club of New Mil. ford this week, the title of which was "The Geography of Litchfield County" |" He spoke of the topographic features of the land, how it is ideally suited for intensive agriculture, and the possible future the county has before it; in fact, his lecture was devoted more to eco. homie aspects than to geography as the term is known. This was when the couuty's chief industry was grazing cattle, but with the steady improve. ment of the western herds, grazing be- came unprofitable and dairying then uecame an important factor. Dairy. ing and gardening and the raising of fruit are likely to be still greater i'm portance in the future, as Litchfield county is part of the agricultural strip lying behind a continuous city that runs from Portland, Me-, to Vir ginia. The boys of the county should be trained not alone to meet present
 
 ditions that will prevail twenty years hence. One drawback with Litchfield county, in the opinion of Professor Dodge. was, that while it was politi cal unit 1t was not an economic unit as was Hartford county, where the natural center was the city of Hart ford, all roads leading thereto. In Litchfield county, travel and transpor. cation have their natural directions, one section towards the Harlem valley, another section towards the Naugatuck, and another towards the Sound, so that the county really consists of three economic units. Litchfield, the county seat, was easily accessible from only one of these units. Professor Dodge thought that this particular disadvan- tage was being overcome by the earnest work of County Agent Manchester of the Farm Bureau. It was an enter taining talk MT. Dodge gave, and had a tendency to make all his hearers con. gratulate themselves on being residents of the finest county in the state.-Dan- bury News.
