NOT HOSTILE TO

operate in All Worthy Efforts
to Maintain the Dairy Indus
try of the State

At an adjourned meeting of the pro-
iectors Of the proposed Confederation of
Cooperative Creameries of Northern YER
mont, held yesterday at the Hotel Sher-
wood, further active steps were taken
to carry into effect the plans Of the as
ISOLATION. The session was a continuation
OF the meeting held in this city last week
and was presided over by F. II. Edwards
Of Richmond. In the absence of Secretary
b. U. Tiffany OF East Berkshire, d. w.
Paul of the same town acted as secre-
tary. More than 40 directors of co-opera-
tive creameries were in attendance, and
15o creameries were represented.
Interest yesterday centered about the
attitude of the New England Milk
Producers association toward the pro-
posed Vermont confederation Of producers.
Following the session last week, the
directors of the y. +. NJ. p. A. stated
their position definitely in a resolution
which follows:
Whereas it has come TO our attention
that at a meeting Of a proposed Fedora
ton of the Creameries of Northern Yer
mont. held at Burlington, December a.,
F. W. clark is reported to have repre-
scented the n. e. NJ. P. A. as opposed to
such federation;
1t was unanimously voted at full
board meeting of the n. L. NJ. p. A..
directors, held in Boston December G, 1919,
that the spirit of reported opposition to
the Federation of Vermont Creameries
at the Burlington meeting of December
q. was entirely unwarranted, unauthorized
and untrue. that the NAE. NJ. p. A. now,
as In the past, stands ready TO cooperate
In every way possible with Vermont farm
ers individually and collectively, in all
sincere and worthy efforts to maintain
the dairy industry; and it was further
voted that the secretary of the N T..
NJ. p. A. be instructed to express to the
cooperative creameries Of Vermont it's
hearty cooperation and publish this
resolution in sucn newspapers as he
deems advisable. to the end that the
unfortunate false impression may be cor
rected.

Tom found relief from sorrow in the
companionship of a fellow-passenger,
a fairy-like little girl. full of the

by Toms unusual dexterity in the

to an old and beloved friend.
