Cooperative Milk Plant About Half
C0mpIeted-Annual Meeting of Wind
ham County Milk Producers, Inc.

About 80 shareholders of the Wind
ham County Cooperative Milk prOduc-
ers. Inc. attended the annual meeting
of the organization in the Farm Bureau
office Saturday. The report of the audi
tors showed that 90 shareholders had
$50 of which already has been paid in,
and the president, f. l.. Parmelee, gave
report on the progress of the new
milk plant on the so-called Bradley farm,
the report showing that part of the
equipment already has arrived.
L. A Miller of Westminster. r. 4.
Boyd of Guilford and g. II. Pike of
Hinsdale were elected directors to serve
three years. w. Z. Frost was elected
clerk, and g. T. Aplin of Putney, G.
j. Perkins of Brattleboro and George
Cobleigh of Chesterfield We're reelected
auditors.
Following the meeting of the share
holders the board of nine directors met
and elected these officers: Pres. r. l..
Parmelee of Putney; vice pres. Warner
l.. Thomas of Brattleboro clerk, w. =.
Frost of Brattleboro. The Brattleboro
Trust Co. will continue to act as treas
urer of the corporation.
In his report to the shareholders, Mr..
Parmelee, reporting for the building
committee. consisting of Henry w.
Frost of East Putney, II. c. Loomis of
| Putney, and himself, stated that a site
had been bought on the Bradley farm
| from which it probably would be pos
| sible to sell off surplus land and timber
enough to give the milk producers d
building location without cost, leaving
| in addition two good houses a large
| barn, considerable salvage lumber, anC
10 acres of improved land along the
| railroad.
Work on the creamery was reported tC
be about half completed, a total of about
| SO, 900 already having been expended
for labor and materials. \ double-ent
siding on the West River branch of tht
| Central Vermont railroad has been com
pleted and is in use for unloading
building materials. About half of tn,
creamery equipment also has arrived
| including cans. churn, separator, an6
! some smaller articles.
The hope was expressed that tht
weather might remain warm for two o
| three weeks longer so as to enable TIN
| brick layers to complete the exterio
work. In that case it would be possibl
to get the creamery in operation BY lat
ia February or early in March.

Mrs. Williamson Fined $40
and Costs for Dis
turbing Peace
GIBSON WOULD
LIKE MORE LAW
Would Clean Out Unmarried Couples
Keeping House in and Around Brat
tIebOro if Statutes Allowed May
Proceed Against Property Owners.

IF there was any law that would al
low me to proceed against some of the
unmarried couples that are keeping house
in and around Bratttleboro under the
conditions that exist / should take adj
vantage of it." States Attorney f. w.
Gibson declared to Municipal Judge A.
F. Cudworth in court this forenoon,
"but / know of no way to clean them
up except to proceed against the owners
of the property" And the states at
torney spoke with an emphasis that in
dictated that he might take such step
if conditions did not improve.
The case on trial which brought out
the remark was that of the state against
Mrs. Elsie Williamson. charged with
breach of the peace one night last week
by using indecent language and striking
Mrs. Mabel Emery Mrs. Williamson
was arrested last night by Sheriff Frank
l.. Wellman. She was represented by
Attorney Frank T.. Barber, who entered
a plea of guilty for her. Judge Cud-
worth sentenced her to pay a fine of so
and costs. also imposed a sentence of
not less than 30 days nor more than 40
days in Newfane Jail. but suspended the
| Jail sentence and placed the respondent
| on probation for six months.
| Before imposing sentence the court
asked the states attorney if he had any
/ thing to say as to the circumstances of
| the case. Mr. Gibson said that Mrs. Viii

| times and had caused the officers more
or less trouble. He said that two Negroes
| had a room in the north watercure build
ling on Elliot street. in the same building
where Mrs. Emery keeps house for Frank
/ Bean. and that she had been visiting the
room frequently. One night last week. he
1 said. she went there and all hands con-
sumed a quantity of liquor When she
left the room. Mr.. Gibson asserted. she
used abusive language toward Mrs
Emery, whom she met, some of which
was not suitable for repetition also that
she struck Mrs Emery He thought the
II respondent ought to be fined and should
be given short term in Newfanc Jail ol
La longer suspended sentence in the house
OF correction.
Attorney Barber admitted that there
was a disturbance of the peace. but ht
said Mrs. Emery started the fuss ant
Il knocked Mrs. Williamson off the piazza
! He declared that Mrs. Emery ought Il
be in court instead of AIRS. Williamson
He said Mrs. Williamson's husband
James Williamson, who lived with hi
wife on the Putney road, was a friend O.
one of the cOl0red men, Albert Ashley. ant
that Mrs. Williamson went to the room
one night last week on an errand bu

Spondent never had been convicted o
anything and that anything she NIGH
have been understood to have done pre-
viOuS 10 this offenSe but for which no ac
ton had been taken should not be takel
against her. He thought a small fint
! would be sufficient and that the woman
ought not to be sent TO jail or given am
suspended sentence.

Western Union Company Wants to Lay
Cable Without Interference By
NAVY DEPARTMENT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The Yves
tern Union Telegraph Co. applied to the
District of Columbia supreme court to-
day for an injunction to restrain Sec
retary Daniels from interfering in the
construction of a cable between Miami
and Miami beach, Fla. The company
also asked the court to require the sec
retary to instruct subordinate officials
to stop threatening to destroy the cables
if laid. The petition pointed out that the
injunction would cover different cable
line than the Barbados cable, the lay
ing of which was prevented several
weeks ago by the sending of warships to
Miami.

Prospects of Extensive Im-

COMMISSIONER GOES
OVER PROPOSITION
improvements Already Made from Green-
field to State Line - Suitable Road
North Probably Would Bring Much
Travel Into This State.

AAdhtA AHlO Inns
Brattleboro people will be interested
to know that extensive improvement of
the highway from Guilford village to the
Massachusetts line at Bernardston are
in prospect for next spring. While
nothing definite has yet been decided it
is known that State Highway Commis-
sioner Stoddard Bates was in town last
week to look over the proposition and
that he made up his mind to have a
survey of the road made Immediately.
In this connection it is significant that
all of the state highway departments
large motor trucks that have been oper-
ating in this part Of Vermont this fall
are to be stored in Brattleboro this wins
ter, probably under one of the buildings
on the Valley fair grounds
The Guilford-Bernardston road is one
Of the principal highways leading from
Massachusetts into Vermont and is n
link in the direct route from New York
to the White Mountain region. For the
past few years, however a large portion
of the north-bOund automobile traffic
has been diverted at BernardSton by rea-
son of the better road through Northfieid
and Iinsdale and much of it has con-
tnued by way of keene and Newport
\. H., instead of swinging back into
the Connecticut valley.
During the past summer extensive inn
proyements have been made on the high
way between Greenfield and Bernard
ston and from BernardSton northward
to the state boundary, and with an ex-
tension of highway improvement as far
north as Brattleboro there is every rea-
son to believe that most of the automo-
bile traffic will resume travel over this
route.

GENEVA, Nov. - (Associated Press),
A resolution presented by NJ. Niviani
inviting the council, of the league of ma
tions to confer with the various powers
with the view of constituting a force sufi-
cient to put an end to hoStilities in Ar

adopted by the assembly of the league this
afternoon. MIR. Balfour said an appeal
must be sent to the IL states of the

NJ. Viviani of France presented the
resolution inviting the council of the
league to consult the powers with a view
to the constitution of a force sufficient to
put an end to the hostilities in Armenia.
| Previous to the adoption of the resolu-

| impression of everyone thinking OF a re-
| sort to intervention and yet not wishing
to call it by that name. At the close of
the debate. however, Lord Robert Cecil
said he would favor armed Intervention
or any other practical plan of dealing with
