Dorset Church Notes

The Rev. Mr.. James, who had ac
cepted an invitation to preach at tn,
morning service last Sunday, wa!
called home the latter part of tn,
previous week by telegram. W.
hope to have him with us again mex
summer.
Bishop Rudolph of the Reformed
| Episcopal Church, will preach at the
morning service next Sunday. Bishop
Rudolph needs no introduction to q
Dorset congregation.
A special invitation is extended to
all adults to attend the sessions of
the Bible class which meets with the
Sunday school each Sunday morning
at 1915.
The offering for the American Mis-
sionary Association last Sunday
amounted to $2930. The apportion-
ment of our Church is $41.5O. Any
others, who desire to contribute to
this cause, may give their contribu-
tions to William Holley.
The song service last Sunday even
ing was largely attended and sincerely
appreciated. These services will be
repeated each Sunday until further
notice. Miss Chapman has very kind
ly consented to play for the singing.
The services begin at S:l5, following
the regular Young Peoples service.
The Women's Missionary Society
will hold an all day sewing meeting
at the home of Mrs. George Gilbert
next Wednesday. Everyone is invited
to come early and to bring lunch.
There is plenty of work for all and
the prospect of good time.
The Young Mems Club has voted to
meet for drill on two evenings of the
week, Monday and Thursday. They
are enabled to do this through the
kindness of Mr.. Barrows whose time
is given at some sacrifice. The drill
next Monday will be followed by the
regular meeting at which important
business will be transacted. The boys
have presented Mr.. Fahnestock with
pocket journal inscribed with his
name, upon the occasion of his APP
preaching departure for France. Mr..
Fahnestock's brief speech Of accept
ance made deep impression upon the
boys.
The Girls Club will meet next Mon
day promptly at 1880. The lessons in.
first aid work will be followed by the
musical drill.
Next Sunday afternoon representa-
tives Of the Church will call through
out the community to confer with each
family in regard to the work and need
of the Church during the coming year.
1t is hoped that everybody will plan to
be at home TO receive the representa-
tives and that all, who are interested
in the Church and appreciate its pur-
pose, will pledge something, however
small, to its support. Envelopes will
be sent by the treasurer to those who
will use them. We wish to emphasize
the value of systematic giving to the
individual as well as to the Church.

Important Results Obtained al Last
Meeting of This Body.

| meeting oil inns Body.
While a most satisfactory feature
OF the recent acceptance by the lead
ing contractors Of Boston of the de-
rlands of the New England Milk Pro-
ducers Association is the price of sew
en- cents quart +. o. b. Boston, the
important result is the establishment
of a new buying system, which will
work to the best advantage of mem
bers of the organization, the consum-
ers and dealers. Eventually it is ex-
pected that this system will apply to
all the principal milk distributing
centers of New Eng and, particularly
the larger cities like Providence, Wor-
cester and Springfield, as we'll as Bos-
ton. The matter was settled last Fri
day, when an all day meeting Of the
directors was held at the office in
Boston. The II. p. Hood & Sons Com
pany had agreed to the demands of
the association, but requested that the
date fixed for complying be made Aug.
lst 1t was decided to grant this.
Practically all the demands of the pro-
ducers were accepted and consequently
no milk was withheld from shipment
by the members of the association last
Monday. The directors on whose
shoulders rested the responsibility for
the decision were President Frank w.
Clark of Williston, W., Secretary
Richard Pattee, l.. E. Mclntire of East
Waterford, Me-, w. d. F. Hayden of
Dover, N. H., Heman Stannard of
Fair Haven, VT, Elmer M. Poole of
North Dartmouth, Mass, G. A. Henry
of Providence, r. l., r. A. Skies of
Ellington, Conn, and DR.. George r.
Little of Schaghticoke, N. Y. On all
sides the greement of the distributors
is viewed with utmost satisfaction, as
it is believed to mean not only def
mite step for the association in bring
ing about improved conditions in the
dairy business, New England's great
est individual industry, but it estab-
fishes sentiment of harmony and CO.
operation, greater than has heretofore
which, it is believed, will
work to the benefit of all concerned,
the consumers, as well as the others.
The rate committee Of the association,
President Clark, Secretary Pattee and
Director McIntire have worked stead
lily for several weeks to bring about
this important result and the vote of
the directors last Friday was an
avowal of the success of the efforts
Of these gentlemen.
Secretary Pattee, in discussing the
outcome, stated that he felt the result
was of much greater Importance than
was indicated by the acceptance of the
price, because it paved the way for
he future adoption of many needed
reforms in the New England dairy in
lustry which will prove Of great ben
fit. "There are many important fea-
.ures to be worked out" he said, "and
IN opportunity is now afforded to fol-
ow them Systematically. The slogan
If the association is "A better price for
better milk The future will demon
,trate to the entire public, as we'll as
producers and contractors, that such
/ sentiment properly developed will
,ring good to ALL
