 Stafford's Baseball association held a meeting in the Springs house Tues day evening when they made some plans and elected officers for the com ing year The officers are as follows President, Charles Jacobsen; secre- tary, Edward Clark; treasurer, Frank Day: Captain, George Wise; manager, Edwin Greene. The big thing facing the association at present is of course, the raising of money for the start off. New uniforms will have to be pur- chased and they are costly. The asso- citation needs $250 to cover the ex penses for the beginning of the sea son. After that the money collected at the games usually covers expenses. Last seasons team was a fine one as proven ly the record they made. This year the team will be almost the same except for the probable addition of new players. The team was slow in starting last year owing to the war. This year they expect to start off early. perhaps a week or more before Memorial day. Whatever manner in which they decide to raise the neces sary money the boys should be sup ported.

 Jewett City, March 5.-A man living on the rural delivery route complained to the postmaster that he hadt got any mail for a week or two. The postmaster explained that the car rier had been covering a part of his route every day on snowshoes. Then the man went home and according to his story, discovered some snowshoe tracks that had escaped his notice. And upon following them up he found that the carrier had been leaving his mail day after day in the birdhouse on the ridgepole of his barn.
