DEPARTMENTS LEAGUE AND
 MILK DEALERS SETTLE
Satisfactory Price Agreement Arranged for Four
 Months

An agreement has been reached between the Dairymen's League and the New York Milk Conference Board, whereby the dealers organi- zation has recommended to its mem- bers that they buy the farmers milk not only for the month of June, but for every succeeding month until October first. The best part of this agreement is that for the first time in months the prices agreed upon cover the cost of production and will give the dairymen a more hopeful attitude toward their own business.
 The price for June is S2.83; for July $2.95; for August $3.35; and for September $3.65. These prices are for three per cent milk at the 200-210 mile freight zone, with the usual differentials for freight and butterfat. The prices for the four months total .135 cents higher than those for the same period last year.
 The trouble between the dairy men and the dealers has been brew ing for several months. Farmers have been extremely dissatisfied with the prices which their milk brought during the winter and spring as they were under the costs of production; but they accepted these prices be- cause they realized that market con- ditions were bad and because they were not looking for trouble with the buyers of milk. Their last straw of patience was exhausted, however, when the dealers sent the dairymen an ultimatum demanding that the farmers accept price plan which would bring the price of milk for June and succeeding months far under the prices which were re- ceived last year, and so low that thousands of dairymen would con- tinue to lose money. This demand

FIREMEN PLAN COURSE
 OF ENTERTAINMENTS
To Be Given During Coming g.. Winter as Means of r-
 Raising Funds

The Canaan Fire Company are planning to hold an entertainment course during the fall and winter season that should be of interest to all who enjoy an evening of clean, wholesome and decidedly interesting entertainment. Some of the num- bers have already been booked and they include some of the best sing CTS, bell ringers, impersonaGors and general entertainers that can be procured.
 Whether the following will com plete the list has not as yet been determined. However it will give some idea as to what the program will contain.
 Beatrice Weller Company con- sists of three natural artists who will entertain with cartoon, musical instruments and songs. Wherever they have appeared, in town or city, they have won the warmest praise. The company consists of Misses Beatrice Weller and Charlotte Ma loney, and w. Leslie Dale.
 luC DC1l c 1ucA OA clever young Americans appearing in tuneful vocal melodies, bell ring ing numbers of real merit, charac- ter sketches and original speciality productions. These young men are all extremely versatile artists. Their performance has brilliancy, snap and a pleasing undercurrent that appeals to the best in musical na- lures of their listeners.
 Noah Beilharz, entertainer and impersonator, has been on the stage exclusively since 1901. During this time he has given entertainments in every state in the Union and most of the provinces of Canada. No other recommendation should be necessary with this record of success.
 The Tennessee Duo, in songs and stories of the south should be spec ially interesting. The old folk songs of the southland, with stories of its people in their peculiar dialect, are always interesting. Misses Helen and Katherine Beane are the enter tainers and they will appear in cos tuned impersonations, dramatic sketches and instrumental and vocal selections.
 Many will want to hear Carveth Wells, who spent six years exporting the jungles. MT. Wells is a great explorer, engineer, author, entertainer and lecturer combined. His lecture is illustrated with colored slides and at the conclusion, ques- tions will be answered.

USE LESS SUGAR
Urges Chairman of Division oi
 Women's Activities

Mrs. James J. Grace, State Chair man of the Division of Women's Ac- tivities, Department of Justice, has obtained statistics from Washington, D.. c. today proving that twenty per cent of all sugar in the United States at least, goes into the manufacture of non-essentials or luxuries.
 Mrs. Grace therefore issues the following appeal to the women of the State:-
 Reduce per capita consumption of sugar one half, for this country IS far in excess of any other in the con- sumption of sugar in the form of luxuries. If the use of non-essen- tials as represented by candy. soft drinks, chewing gum, etc. is curtailed one half, plentiful supply of sugar for the essential industries and housewives will be assured. The coming canning and preserving sea- son makes this imperative. There can be no question that the curtailed demand reduced dry goods prices, hence all consumers of sugar in the state are asked to cooperate, thereby causing similar reduction in the price of sugar."

NORFOLK CONCERTS
 OPEN TUESDAY NIGHT
Gounod's "R e d e m p 0 n |" Splendidly Rendered On
 Opening Night
By Philip Curtiss.

The twenty-first concert of the Litchfield County Choral festivals opened at Norfolk Tuesday night in a spirit which, no doubt, prevailed in many events this year. That is to say, that the long-expected postwar buoyancy had at last arrived.
 Most Americans fondly expected that the moment the war was over the world would immediately return to normal. When it did not the pen dulum swung to the other extreme and it was dismally said that the good, old times would never return. As a matter of fact, they have come like the present spring; furtively, but nevertheless they have come.
 The features of a Norfolk concert are in many respects as fixed as the details of Roman cant. There is always the same approximate num- bers of singers. The music shed is always crammed to capacity. The same revered veterans always re- ceive their need of applause.
 Litchfield county audiences would hardly have it otherwise and this concert was no exception to the rule. As to the music Tuesday evening, when the entire program consists of an oratorio, and when that oratorio is Gounod's "Redemp- tion', what is there for the critic to say? Nothing; which is, perhaps, fortunate in this case as the present writer is a music critic by executive decree and not by natural talent-a fiat critic, so to speak.
 The first rule for a musical or dra- matic critic seems to be that he should never admit that he is hear ing a thing for the first time. Being only fiat critic the present review CT admits frankly that he was hear ing the Redemption" for the first time and he could not help thinking what wonderful thing it must have been to review on its first presenta- tion. It is so fascinatingly different from other compositions of it's kind. It does not matter that the real critics say that it is past thing with old-fashioned cadences. There is no denying, of course, that it is built on the greatest story in the world and

MEETING OF COUNTY
 HEALTH ASSOCIATION
Dr. C. J. BartIette of New Haven, Principal
 Speaker

The semi-annual meeting of the Litchfield County Public Health Association was held at the Garfield Inn last Thursday. About twenty health officers and physicians from all over the county were present and most interesting and instructive meeting was held.
 The morning session opened at 11:00 o'clock, President W. W. Bierce presiding and Dr. F. H. Lee, secretary, recording. After the usu- al routine business the president in- troduced Dr. c. J. Bartlette, director of the state laboratory, of New Ha- ven, who gave a most interesting and instructive talk, as we'll as answering innumerable questions regarding specimens sent to the state labora- tory for analysis and how the labora- tory could be of more value to the physicians. Covering a list of con- tagious diseases, he told of the num- Der of specimens received together with some most interesting data that would be of little interest to any except physicians and nurses. At the close of the address the meeting adjourned to the parlors of the Methodist church where a sumptious dinner was provided by the ladies of the church, the menu of which fol- lows:
 Tomato Bisque Soup
 Baked Shad
 Potato Balls with Parsley Dressing
 Roast Beef, Mushroom Gravy Mashed Potatoes, Macaroni with
 Cheese
 Pickles
 Cream Cheese and Bate Salad
 Squash Pie Coffee
 Ice Cream
 The meeting was again called to order shortly after 2:00 o'clock and a general discussion of problems was held. This discussion brought out many interesting facts, one of which was the value of milk to children and the care of the teeth as it affects the tonsils. - Dr. Hanchett of Torrington stat ed that in one school 57 per cent of the children were below normal and that by giving one-half pint milk to each child every morning, they had gained much more than had the nor nal children. He also stated that at the, opening of school in one of his districts, nearly every child had a coated tongue, foul breath and greatly enlarged tonsils. This condi- tion was removed by the simple remedy of having the children thoroughly clean the teeth daily at least.
 The names of Dr. c. J. Bartlette, director of the state laboratory, and John Lund, superintendent of schools of Winsted and Norfolk were proposed for membership and were elected.

 Finding

Judge Hinman, of the Superior Court, has rendered his decision in the suit brought by Eugene A. Ben jamin vs. Ralph T. Farnum, and finds that the balance due from R. T. Farnum is $3,287.37, together with interest from May 1st., 1918 to the date of the Judgment.
 During the trial R. T. Farnum and his father, E. S. Farnum, testified that a mutual adjustment was made between R. T. Farnum and E. A. Benjamin on March 29th., 1918, at which time, they claim, Benjamin agreed to allow Farnum $10 per week additional salary to offset the amount over drawn by R. T. Far mum. This claimed adjustment the Judge finds is not established by the evidence.
 The Court finds that Farnum paid personal coal bills out of the part nership funds amounting to $266, ,76, and also various personal and family bills amounting to $326.59. '
 According to the summary con- tained in the Judges decision it ap- pears that Farnum withdrew a total of $17,933.87. His salary during this period amounted to $8O00 leav- ing a total amount withdrawn in excess to salary of $9,933.87; amount repaid by Farnum of $1846.5O, leaving a total amount withdrawn by Farnum $8087.37, in excess of salary after refunding $1,846.50. Amount withdrawn by Benjamin $4800, balance due from R. T. Farnum $3287.37.

Viewed from every angle, this type
house rs meeting the needs of either
large or small families as no other
type home is doing. First and fore
most. no other sort of house so salts
factorily meets the ever-increasing
servant problem. Then, too. the high
cost of coal is considerably lessened.
for no other house is so easy to heat
as the bungalow. Two big problems
met!
Take. for instance, the seven-room
bungalow shown today. An ideal
house to heat! If ones family be
small. it is not necessary to heat the
second floor at all, thus allowing
for the conservation of a considerable
amount of coal. Then. in summer
time the upper story keeps the bun
galow from becoming stuffy and very
hot. as it allows for the pleasant cir
culation of air and for the heat to
escape. Entrance is direct into the
living room. which is one of the
brightest and sunniest rooms in the
house. Note the large bay window.
in addition to which there are FIVE
