NE. MP. A. BRANCH STARTED
Organized at Morrill, Hall Mon
day Night by Dairymen.
VIII Have Constitution and Bylaws
Of Its Own to Promote It's Own Oh.
jects-After Members-Fac-
tories IN Prospect.

local branch Of the New England
Milk Producers association was or
ganized Monday night, when dairymen OF
the vicinity of Burlington and Winoo-
ski discovered that they might adopt
their own constitution and bylaws.
F. b. Catlin was elected president.
John Stewart vice-president and E. E.
Cove secretary-treasurer The by laws
drawn up by the organization commit
tee appointed a few weeks ago were
adopted. A synopsis of them already
has appeared in the Free Press. Eleven
of those present signed the membership
agreement of the N. Z. NJ. p A. Ef-
forts to sign more members now are
under way. Changes in the local as
sociation's bylaws will be made so as
not to conflict with the constitution
and bylaws of the New England or
ganization
Frank w. Clark, of Williston, presi-
dent of the N. z. M. p. a.. described
the price system by zones for milk
marketed in Boston. He showed how
this arrangement tended to send milk
to the nearest market, because freight
charges had to be deducted from the
actual prices paid. The prices at Will
liston. Richmond and Hinesburg, how
ever, would largely determine the price
in town, he said, and the n. E. NJ. P. A.
and New York Dairymen's League
would work together in fixing prices.
President Clark announced several
changes in the original bylaws. and
said privately that changes In the con-
stitution had been made also. though
the latter were of minor consequence.
The chief changes in the bylaws are
in the matter of dues. taxes. etc. A
, rebate will be made to members who
joined under the old arrangement
which. practically speaking, was su-
perseded on July 1 by the new.
+. B. Catlin, who presided. said that
;17k cents hundred pounds was
charged to haul milk to Hinesburgh
for H. p. Hood & Sons.
NEW FACTORIES. MAYBE.
| Mr.. Clark said the Hood concern con-
templated erecting butter and cheese
factories in vicinities where there was
a surplus of milk and not ready mar
| ket This might be true in parts OF
Vermont, he limited. The factories will
be permitted by the N. E. NJ. P. A. to
give, of course. a lower price for this
milk than the whole milk prices asked.
E. E. Cove reported as secretary Of

Once in Vermont.
State Ia Well Represented in Various

Has Been Slow.

campaign to stimulate recruiting for
the United States army will be commenced
at once, according to a decision reached
Thursday at meeting at the Hotel
Vermont Of Governor Graham and the
members Of the executive committee OF
the Vermont Committee of Public Safety.
Those present stated their belief that Yer
mont, in proportion to her population. had
sent as many men into the various
branches of the national service as any
State in the Union. The sowness Of en-
listments for the regular army however.
has caused unpleasant comments to be
made. which will now be refuted. Colonel
Fred B. Thomas, commanding officer Of
the LIST regiment of infantry. Vermont Ma
tional Guard. stated that the regiment was
Thursday filled to within $50 of its re-
quired war strength.
Definite steps will be taken Immediately
to start Statewide appeal for $4,000.
to cover the cost of the committees work,
which cannot be done by State appropria-
tons. The amount will be apportioned
among the counties according to their
grand list, SO that Chittenden county's
share will be somewhat under $500. The
committees activities have been the CO.
ordination of all war work. including in
| creased food production, Red Cross woi r,
| recruiting campaigns. and other ways of
preparing for the future. Reports Of the
work accomplished by the different COM
mittees were received Thursday, that
OF the food production and conservation
committee being especially encouraging.
| A shortage of equipment for the 1st Ver-
mont infantry. particularly as regards ord
nance, was reported by Colonel Thomaa.
This equipment Is to be furnished by the
national government. There are sufficient
supplies of clothing, tents, blankets, ETC.,
in the securing of which the committee
has co-operated with the Acknowledgement.

Forty-one years ago Monsgnor j. M.
Cloarec ofTiciated at the marriage Of Louis
Pine and Mary Beaupre, sister Of City As
SCISSOR Fred o. Beaupre, at st. Joseph's
Church. Last Monday morning at nine
o'clock requiem mass was said at the
church where Monsgnor Cloarec still off,
ciates as rector. Mr.. Pines last act relat-
ed to his duties to the church, Of which
for 20 years. to the day of his death, he
was one of the three trustees. He rose
from his death bed early Thursday eve
ming for the express purpose of making a
record of a transaction between Monsignor
Cloarec and himself. an act typical Of the
mans business fidelity. He had been suf-
fering from a complication of disorders
for some time. Thursday evening he was
brought home in a cab, and toward eleven
o'clock at night became unconscious. He
did not recover consciousness and died at
six o'clock Friday morning at his home
81 Hyde street.
The remains were inferred in the fam.
lily plot In Mt. Calvary cemetery. The sur
vivors are his wife, sister, Mrs. Henry
Lawrence Of Williston, and these children,
all Of Burlington: Fred L., Edward j..
Harvey NJ, Frank F. and Miss Bertha
Pine.
Mr.. Pine was one of the pioneer mer-
chants Of the city. He founded the Arm
of Louis Pine Co., of which he was the
head, and in the spring of 1918 became sole
owner of the business under the firm name
Of the Louis Pine company. For AZ years
he was connected with the dry goods busi-
ness. He was born in Williston on August

Mr.. Pine had been ailing for ten days
and kept away from the store until that
afternoon of July Z, when he
went to business for a few hours. He re
turned home at about six o'clock, and tool
to his bed. 1t is thought he must have
realized death was near, when he ros'

FARM HELP SHORT.
Not Enough Men Secured to Harvest
Hay Crop.

Not Enough Men Secured to Harvest
Hay Crop.
The official weather forecast for the
coming week is fair. This Is good news,
II true. says Commissioner of Agricul-
ture E. S. Brigham. So far this month
the weather has been wet. SO that little
haying has been done. Wet weather has
also delayed cultivation of crops so that
the situation at this time, as regards
farm work in Vermont, is critical. Two
million tons Of hay yet remain to be har-
vested. In order that this hay may be
of best feeding value. 1t should be har-
vested promptly. Labor is scarce. The
response to the labor advertising cam
paign conducted by the State department
of agriculture has been fair. Fifteen
hundred letters have been received from
applicants. to whom enrolment cards
have been forwarded. Approximately 500
of these cards have been returned and
have been apportioned among the county
agents of the State for distribution to the
farmers.
Many business and professional men in
the State have indicated a willingness
to spend such time as is possible for them
to be away from their business helping
neighboring farmers. The ministers of
one denomination are going to spend their
vacations In the hay field. Still the sup
ply is not adequate. The need is I'M
perative that every man who can possibly
do SO 60 out on farm for the next ten
days to help secure the crops. The loss
Of a few dollars per ton In the value Of
Vermont's hay crop will mean loss Of
several million dollars to the State.
Farmers have planted larger acreages in
response to the demand made upon them.
and 1t Is not fair to the farmers to
desert them at this time. Get out on a
farm and help!

NE. M.P.h. SIGNS CONTRACTS
Attorneys at Work Preparing
for New Price Schedule.

Sons, in Line-Advertising Cam
paign Coming.

whiting & Sons. one of the largest milk
distributing firms in New England. next
to H. p. Hood & Sons. has agreed to abide
by the agreement reached by the New
England Milk Producers association with
Hoods, which goes into effect on August
1. President Frank w. Clark of Williston
is the sponsor for this statement, and says
further that other firms of less size are
inclined to fall in line. Attorneys of the
n. E. NJ. p. A. are now preparing the con-
tracts for milk at seven cents quart f.
o. b. Boston, and between now and Au-
gust will endeavor to sign all the distrib-
utors. big and little, in the six States that
are involved. The continued surplus of
milk in Boston largely accounts for the
second postponement of the schedule fixed
some weeks ago and already announced
in the Free Press.
Whiting & Sons control the Brigham
Elm Hill and other firms delivering in
Boston. The N. E. NJ. p. AS executive
committee made a deal with the firm di-
rect. To President Clark and Secretary
Richard Pattee was left by the executive
committee the task of concluding con-
tracts with the other firms all over New
England.
AGREEMENT AUG. TO OCT 1.
The new agreement applies only to Au-
gust and September, President Clark said,
and on October 1 or whereabouts a new
schedule of prices to apply to the winter
months will go into effect.
1.-THE association has won a complete
victory" said Mr.. Clark, and expressed
his satisfaction with the way things have
worked out. The N. E. NJ. P. A. would
now. he said. prepare for an advertising
campaign in the interest Of the higher
prices to be asked. The organization feels
It Is on firm ground and means to take
the public into it's confidence.
