DEPARTMENTS LEAGUE
 BUYS MILK PLANTS Will Build Thirteen New Stations in League
 Territory

Officers of the Dairymen's League, Inc, announced last night that the Dairymen's League Cooperative Association, Inc, now operating twelve farmer owned country milk plants, has campaigns under way to buy existing plants, or to build new cnes, in thirteen widely separated sections in League territory. The new projects call for raising nearly $4,000,000, a large part of which already has been subscribed. Re- quests from dairy farmers to launch additional campaigns are being re- ceived at League headquarters fast CT than they can be handled.
 Ever since milk has been shipped to the cities the country milk sta tions have been in the hands of dis tributors and manufacturers. These plants include milk shipping sta- tions, butter and cheese factories snd places for the manufacture of condensed, powdered and evapor- ated milk and other milk products
 Ownership of country milk plants by producers means to the farmer, according to league officials, an as- sured market for his milk, stability of business and a more equitable dis tributon of the proceeds. 1t means to the consumer fair and reasonable prices, they declare, as cooperative activities will result in reduced costs. Reasonable prices for a uni form high quality brand of products, they say, will bring about increased volume of business with increased returns to the producer in his capac- ity as manufacturer.
 The league intends to go slowly and develop the cooperative plan one plant at a time. Creameries and condensaries will not be built merely to permit producers to enter into competition with established plants which are taking care of the milk of particular community. Cooperative plants will be establish ed only in sections where the far mers believe their best interests de- mand they should have a plant. In every case the farmers must back up their beliefs with the required capital.
 The league leaders realize that it will be many years before the far mers can come into possession of a sufficient number of plants to handle all milk produced by all farmers in league territory. They are satis- fed however, that at the rate the cooperative plan is developing it will not be long before the Dairy mems League Cooperative Associa- ton will be manufacturing large quantities of milk products.
 The biggest of the League plants TOW operating is at Auburn, N. Y.

Story of Trip to Hartford by
 Florence Garfield

Sentiments of Class of 1920 of East Canaan Grammar School.
 "Oh, what is so rare as day in June?"
 Some think October's bright blue weather is! But our class know that the best day in all the year for us was May 27 when we sailed away in 2 big car for Hartford. We had a lovely ride.
 In Hartford we visited all the points of interest. We did the capi- tol even to the dome. We of course visited the State Library and Me morial Hall; the Morgan Memorial and St. Joseph's Cathedral.
 Best of all we had the honor of meeting the Governor. He gave us his photograph for our school !; he gave to each one of us his autographed photograph so that we would remember our big day in the capitol of our state.
 We wish now to thank the school who earned the trip for us; Miss Finnegan and Miss Higgins who HSHL NIIH us anu eApldlHeu IHlnSS to us; our superintendent, MT. Tea que, who allowed us to go on a school, day; MT. J. Henry Roraback, who took the trouble to arrange to have us meet the Governor; Miss Collins, who introduced us to the Governor.
 We feel that the only way we can TJA1 sa lN.v ho ing every day what he expects us to be,-loyal, Working Americans"
