BROWN UNIVERSITY MUSICIANS COMING Combined Mandolin and Clee Clubs Here Tuesday
 Night Forty Students To Stage Big Concert
 For Mems Club

 The coming of the university musi- clans has been looked forward to for weeks, as it is some years since college players have given a concert in this city. Tickets are now selling at the stores of George E. Shaw and c. M. Elliott. ..
 The Brown Mandolin and Glee Clubs have toured the larger cities within the past few weeks. They ap- peared in Syracuse, Buffalo, Cleve- land, Toledo, Washington, Philadel- phia and New York, and made a most favorable impression before metro politan audiences. At their concert at the New Willard Hotel, Washington April 2, Mrs Woodrow Wilson was one of the patronesses, as was Mrs. Charles E. Hughes.
 The concert includes ensemble mu- sical numbers, vocal quartet and many soloists. including violin and banjo. It is needless to say that the students put snap into their offerings and it is the kind of music that only such kind of organizations can deliv- CT.
 Among the club members is Myles Standish, direct descendant of the Pilgrim Captain, and his number "The Speaker of the House." cos tuned monologue, always "goes over big"
 This is the biggest musical event of the year, and as the season is about
 at it's close it will probably be the last opportunity to be entertained with live musical program for some months. Tickets are already selling to an extent that assures the student q large audience.

ONLY 12 MILKMEN
 SHIP FROM PUTNAM
Number Has Decreased Over Two-Thirds In Past Seven
 Years
Present Conditions Only Nets Five
 Cents Per Quart At Farm

During September, 1916, an aver aoe of 1742 quarts of milk were shipped each morning to Boston. Tues day morning of this week but 935 onarts of milk left the Putnam rail- road station for the New England me- tropolis.
 That there has been drastic cur tailment of milk production in east ern Windham county is we'll known. The gradual reduction of herds and in some instances large dairymen giv- ing up the business has been told from time to time at public meetings where the milk situation has been dis cussed. The farmers say there is no money in producing milk with the city dealers fixing prices and regulating shipment.
 For several days this week Fred Warner, Providence district manager of the New England Milk Producers Association, with County Agent Da- wis. have been among the milk pro- ducers of this end of the county mak- ing a cursory survey of the situation, talking over matters of interest with members of the association, and giv- ing advice and instruction wherever such is sought.
 County Agent Davis told Patriot representative, Tuesday morning, of the falling off of milk production and cited the instance in the shipments from Putnam as given above. It was also stated that back in 1914 thirty seven producers were shipping from Putnam and today there are but twelve, or less than one-third the number seven years ago.
 MT. Warner said that it costs the farmer 33 cents per hundred pounds (46 1-2 quarts) to carry his milk from the farm to the railroad shipping point, and 67.6 cents more per hun dred pounds to get it to the Boston market. The farmers are now getting $3.83 per hundred pounds for fluid milk but for the surplus-milk not being distributed to consumers-of which there is 40 per cent at the pres ent time. only $2.62 per hundred is allowed. This, MT. Warner says, nets the farmer about five cents per quart at the farm, leaving all other costs of production to be deducted. By the time this is done, the five cents is no where to be found.
 According, to those interested in the dairy industry the only solution for re establishing this important farm industry in New England is better price list, cheaper modes of transpor- tation, and regulations that are not wholly in favor of the buyer as op- posed to the seller.

LUTHER M. kEITH's PLAN
May Save the State $100, ,0OO.-
 Looked On With Favor

Through the proposition of Repre- sentative Luther Nj. Keith of Putnam, the state may be saved $100,0OO by storing military equipment at the State Pier in New London.
 MT. Keith as one of the appropria- tions committee of the general as- sembly, has become prominent member of that body and his farsight- ed and sound business judgment has received notice.
 When the matter of housing mil itary equipment at probable cost of $2OO,000 came up, Representative Keith suggested that the State Pier be utilized and his suggestion met with favorable response. The plan will eliminate the erection of large and costly buildings at the camp ground, Mantle.
 Col. Morris B. Payne of New Lon don. house chairman of the military affairs committee, states that he sees no reason why the military equipment could not be stored at the per. Twenty-four of the c. P. F. guns are consigned to Connecticut and SIX of them will be located in different state armories, leaving eighteen of these guns. with great quantities of other surplus equipment, to be taken care of elsewhere. Bills asking an aggre- gate of S11O,O00 to strengthen ar mories to accommodate the heavy ar tillery will have to be acted on inde- pendent of the request for accommo- dations for the surplus equipment which the state is apparently obligat- ed to accept and care for

complain while the political manip-
ulators will live in luxury and laugh
at your folly.
With this picture of conditions be-
fore you, which no man or woman
who is informed can successfully de-
ny, if you and your neighbor fail to
pay your taxes before February 1st
and fail to register and fail to vote,
an honest and intelligent ballot.
YOU have no one to blame but
YOURSELVES because the Consti-
tuition of this government guarantees
the people the right to rule them
selves but YOU failed to realize your
individual responsibility.
One of the most alarming signs
of the times, as l see it, is the in
difference of the average citizen, as
it relates to his individual respon-

life. This class is distressingly large
and an easy prey for political dem
agogues and the corrupt political
ring.
Let each individual classify him
