gency and pay out milk checks promptly to the dairymen who have so loyalty stood behind the company.
 The reorganized company has now for president that we'll known citizen, J. Arthur Sherwood, who is devoting his every effort to put the concern on a more solid foundation. He is vital1y active and his acquaintance with bus mess men and business experiences fit him for the job. Seeing the ne cessity of an increase of capital, he called this meeting of executive off1- cers and the stockholders to consider the situation. As chairman his able speech aroused enthusiasm which spread to all the farmers; $2,500 was immediately pledged, payable on call, while a committee of three from all the towns of the county was named to take up the sale of the additional $50,0o0 of stock at once. From the temper of the farmers evidenced by all the speakers the project will not fail of early accomplishment.
 Among the speakers who helped along the good work was A. c. Innes of New Milford, district supervisor of state roads under Commissioner Ben nett. He had just come from an ln- spection of the plant of the Farmers Dairy Company. and an examination of It's assets and possibilities, giving such a glowing account of conditions that materially will aid in securing the increase in capital. He announc- ed to the meeting that he finally gave way to the repeated solicitation or town supervisor of state roads, w. c. Johnson, to be relieved of the job which he had filled acceptably for 2he past eight years. Judge Johnson. for he Is also judge of probate Of Newtown, resigned as supervisor last week, and has assumed the direct management of the Farmers Dairy Company. The meeting also promptly accepted an amendment to the by laws which will effectively cheek ex-' pieiters in the future. The election of Amos T.

Seven Ecilpses.

A romance of old wars might make much of q year that recorded seven eclipses solar and lunar. Eclipses counted for much in the dim years when fighting was mems most impor- tnnt business. Yet no one who lived in those days would have known that there were seven eclipses, so perhaps the heavenly portents would have ex. erted less than their due influence on human superstition.

Differences In Trees.

In studying a vast collection of growing trees. such as may be found at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard university; the imaginative mind may see and detect unthought of new laws of nature at work. So strikingly are the likes and diSlikes of certain trees for methods of growing that even an amateur soon learns something of their care and the attention and conditions for growth that they require.

ING A FEATURE.

New York, Nov. 30-There was
break OF approximately IS a bale
in cotton today with January and
all later deliveries making new low
ground for the season. The close
was at the lowest point OF the day.
The market opened irregular un-
changed to a decline OF $ points.
There was enough covering and scat
tered on reports OF continued spot
markets to cause slight bulges but
the market turned weak on the un-
favorable view of the dry goods sit
uation, continued liquidation and
scattered southern selling. Except
for a moderate demand from spot
house brokers who were said to be
fixing prices for spinners, there was
very little buying.
There was no change in the char
acter OF spot news from the south
but the reports that holders were
refusing to sell at the decline were
offset by the absence OF any ag-.
gressive buying for trade account.

Baseball Stars Won't Get Huge
Amounts for Services.

Be Given to Players Returning
From War.

There will be q house cleaning In
baseball next spring, If the game
comes back then, but it may not be
the kind of house cleaning that Ban
johnson prophesied. The present ma
donal commission may or may not be
put in power again. There may be or
may not be new head to that COM
mission; there may be new leader
Of the National league, and there may
even be q new leader Of the American
league. All these things are possible,
sut what is most probable Of all Is
reorganization and regarding Of SAL
aries.
The fat wartime contracts will be
visible no more. Valiant athletes who
irew from 5000 to $1,000 while their
clubs lost heavy money will be offered
from $500 to $4,000. If there is any
preference in awarding the big money,
It will be shown to men returning from
the war, as it Is felt that they could
not help their departure, and gave up
large incomes eheerfully to serve the
nation.
Superfluous agents, extra financial
managers, etc., will be lost to view.
Baseball will simply start in again
and will try to rebuild it's shattered
fortunes along sane and economic
lines. This comes unofficially, but
none the less correctly, through the
office Of the national commission.

Fish Eggs.


The cod is estimated to yield $1,000.
600 eggs each season. As many as
100000, 100000 and even $500, oOG
eggs have been found in the roe of a
single cod. An eel was caught in Scot.
land some years ago which contained
upward of 100000 eggs. This, how.
ever, would appear to have been an ex.
ceptional find. and it is generally adj.
mitted that the cod Is more prolific
than any other fish. Though not
equaling the cod, many Kinds of fish
are exceedingly prolific. More than
10000 eggs have been counted in a
herring. $4,000 in a smelt, 100000
in q sole, 100000 in roach,
100000 in sturgeon, $4,000 in o
carp, $4,000 in a tench, $4,000 in
a mackfel, 992,O00 In a perch, and
1870 in founder. The oyster
Is also very prolific. 1t has been as
certained by recent observation that
in the liquor >of their shells small
oysters can be seen by aid Of the mi.

lively about. A herring weighing six
or seven ounces is provided with

mated that in three years a single pair
of herrings would produce 154.OO0O00.
